S. S. Taylor, Esq.-than whom we
will say no truer or more patriotic man
ever exists, albeit he did vote for Doug
las-has succeeded in organizing
company for the protection of the coast
of this county in case of difficulties
The company is to be known as tho
Alabama Coast Guard, and is to meet
to day Saturday for the first time to
commence drilling. Mr.. Taylor has
been elected Captain, and G. A. Greene
First Lieutenant. DR.. Jas. G.. Bel
lingsea and Dr.. j. Whitaker are also
officers of the company. Seventy-tve
good and true men have enrolled their
names.
We regard this as a very important
movement, and one eminently deserv-
ing of Legislative encouragement. The
G ulf coast abounds la bays, bayous and
inlets, unprotected by any fortitication,
which would afford inviting facilities
for flibustering and marauding incur
sion; and Ito say nothing Of other con-
sidcrations) there are very valuable
and extensive interests in Mobile and
Baldwin counties which requires pro-
lection. 1t might be injudicious to be
more explicit upon this subject, but it
is a matter eminently demanding atten-
ton.
Capt. Taylor owns light draught.
fast sailing schooner, (the Exile) of 81
tons burden, which he is now having
repaired and fit, up at his own expense.
Size is just the sort of craft adapted 10
the particular service required. He
proposes to have two guns, of suitable
calibre, mounted on boa d of this YES
sci, and to have her manned by crew
of thirty men armed with SharPe's
rifles.
Captain Taylor's company consists
of men specially fitted for this amphi-
bious species of service, as the most
of them are good sailors, and have
families and property to protect on or
near the coast.
As we have already said, this is q
very important movement-more so
perhaps, than any other that has been
made in this State with special. refer
cnce to the crisis-but it would not be
prudent to go any further in details by
way Of demonstrating the truth Of this
proposition.

Vigilance Committee in Mobile.--The
Mayor of Mobile has issued the follow
ing proclamation a
MAYORS ,OFFIcE, CRY OF MOBILE,
December 8, 1860.
The feeling of insecurity peryading
the minds Of many many, and which has
it's originlifi the Formation of1secret and
irresnonaible associations, TENDERS it
proper that should take counsel with
nv fel lowecitizens. IF eversthere was
q beriod{ VII emit was specially incum-
bent on cry citizen, by precept and
,by example, to uphold and maintain the
supremacy of the laws of our State,
I NOW most Certainly is the time. We
mrs in the m DIST of revolution, and are
siavpking the sovereignty of our State
against wrong and oppression. If we
be honest and true, does it not behove
us to magnify that sovereignty, and
make it honorable, by strict and con-
scientious obedience to the laws which
have been ordained by that sovereignty?
Do those who band themselves together
in secret and irresponsible associations,
for the purpose of exercising powers
delegated by law to the sworn officers
of the law, expect to increase the con-
fidence of the timid in the ability of
the State to preserve order and pro-
tect the rights of person and property!
Can that lawlessness give confidence OF
safety Can which throws contempt on
the law, In that it pruclalms lis leeble-
ness, tend, or be intended, to increase
our reverence for the power from which
the law emanates? Fellow citizens, be
not deceived; permit not an over-ex-
cited zeal in a good cause to blind you
to the too certain consequences OF an
evil example. IF your laws are defec-
tive, within thirty days there will be
an assemblage with full and rightful
power to remedy those defects. 1fyour
laws are not defective, but their admin
istration is in the hands of unfaithful or
weak and incompetent officers, dis
charge your duty by inviting them to-
resign. The individual responsibility
of the members of lawless associa-
ton cannot render such association
respectable, but unfortunately onl y
makes the example more pregnant of
evil. 1t may be very conservative
and right disposed mob, but it is mob
for all tn IT, How soon will it prove to
have been the parent of a succession
of MODS, each more violent than the
preceding, until anarchy prevails, and
the fierce instincts of brutal passions
inaugurate another reign of terror.
There is no safety outside of the law.
Bring me in conflict with whom it may,
shall discharge my duty under the
law and enforce the law. Shall not
have the support of every Southern
man, of every good citizen, and will
they not evidence their determination
to give such support by promptly dis
banding all secret and unlawful asso-

Yhe SpeakershiD.

1t will be seen in OnE Congressional news,
that the Republicans at Washington, on Mon
day Of this week, changed from Sherman to
Pennington in their voting for Speaker We
very much regret the necessity for such change,
though we are satisfied that, under the circum-
stances, the Republicans did just right. The
vote on Friday demonstrated that Sherman
could net be elected, even under the plurality
vote, and the emily choice of Sherman 8 friends,
was between dropping him, and being defeated
along with him. In, this emergency, and it be-
ing shown that PenningtenecOuld control some
votes outside Of the Republican organization
Mr. Sherman did just ,whatshe has been ready
to do for several weeks,-he withdrew in favor
of candidate who could control more votes
than had ever been concentrated on himself. Ex
Gov. Pennington Of New Jersey, an old Wing,
of the genuine stamp, who a aeither drinks
nor votes the Democratic ticket but is one of
the strongest members of the party, in New Jer-
..sey that is nneompromisingly hostile to every
phase of Sham Democracy, was the man select
Led. Pennington, has from the start voted for
Sherman, and is fully identified with the Re.
,publieans in their hOstility,tO the extension of
Slavery into the Territories. On the last vote,
Monday Pennington received lis, -four more than
the largest number before thrown for Sherman.
There is nova strong prObabilitythat Penning-
ton viii be elected this week.
We had hoped tOsee Sherman triumphantly
elected, as just rebakeO of EheSOuthern bullies
who have 50 assailed and maligned and sIandered
him. But the Experimentation could not dc
it, and the union OF the Shams on Smith, shut
out ali hope of prevailing nndsr the plurality
rule. But victory with Pennington, is vic
tory of Republican principles, and as such we
shall rejoice to sacOrd it.

Negro Disturbances in Canada.

For the last two weeks, the disunion, Slave
Democratic papers have teemed with the most
extended ISLANDERS of the escaped slaves who
have taken refuge in Canada, retailing out to
their readers statements that the whole white
population were under subjugation, and any
number butchered in cold blood, that they had
possession OF the schools, the towns, and of bus
mess generally We are not disposed to find so
much fault with the mental Patriot, Ace, Senti-
mel, Telegraph, Argus and Courier, for they sell
dom have dry bone for their hungry chops !;
but now that this bugaboo is, like the rest, also
exploded, we ask these papers to merely tell
their readers the facts. They are given in the
following dispatch

Southern Logic.


Southern polticians,-and by this term we
mean the Sham Democracy the administration,
Douglas, ct i'd Omne genus,-now charge the
Republican party with attempting to deprive
the South of their rights under the Constitu-
tion. One way, in which it is reported that
the rights of the South are infringed, is by the
personal liberty law, and the habeds corpus acts
which aVe,-to their honor be it said-found
place upon the statute books Of many Northern
States. 1t is claimed that these laws interfere
with the Constitutional right of the master to
reclaim his slave, and this is one of the chiefest
grievances about which 80 much clamor and so
many thre is have been made. We are charged
with having done what we had no right to do,
and have therefore proved ourselves unfit to
hold federal Office.
Now these same politicians after wasting
great amount of rhetoric, and pouring out vast
quantities of indignation under this head
begin to threaten and announce what they shall
do, provided the national government should
change heads. In that event they are going to
entrench themselves behind the doctrine of State
rights, and in d Constitutional way, too. They
hold that each State is its own ultimate Judge
of what obedience it shall render to the federal
government, this being an attribute of that
sovereignty which it has never yielded to the
general government. As result, from this
logic, they conclude that they have the Consti-
tutional right to resist Republican president,
and the laws passed by a Republican Congress,
and not only that they have the right, but that
it is their dutg to do it, and that there is no
Constitutional power in the federal government
to coerce them into submission. A distinguish
ed disciple of this schnol of politicians, the in
evitable Ben Halett Of Massachusetts, recently
made this Identical declaration.
But Alabama has'no rights under the COnsti-
tuition that Vermont does not equally possess,
and if one of these be right to a final judg-
ment respecting the obedience State is to rem
der to federal law, it is as sacred among our
free hills, as in the rice fields Of Slave State.
How then does this Southern logic hang togeth.
