MESSAGE OF Gov. RECTOR, OF ARKAN-
sAs.-We copy from the Little Rock True
Democrat, the following extract from the
Message of Governor Rector:
The issue made up by the North, and
which we of the South will not be permit
ted to decline, is, the Union without
slavery. OF slavery without the Union.
What portion of the Confederacy will
be so infatuated as not to prepare for the
coming of this sad event? What magis-
tratc of the law will lull his people into
fancicd security, by promises of peace and
safety, when an enemy is at their door !?
God forbid that J. should be an alarm
ist; that I should be insensible of the
widespread desolation that would fix it.
self, like pail, upon the American peo-
pie, should disruption ensue. But | am
not, nor will 1 content myself with any
thing less than faithful exposition of my
views upon this subject.
Eleven of the Northern States, by sol
enm legislative enactments, have nulliicd,
revoked, and trampled upon the Federal
Constitution. Maine, Connecticut, New
York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin
Massachutts, Michigan, and Vermont,
have prohibited their officials and citizens
from aiding in the execution of the q Flu
gitive Slave law" By their action, the
Federal compact has been broken-they
haze reuolmioni=ed the Government, and
have left every other State absolved from
it's Federal allegiance, and free, as an in
dependent and sovereign government, to
seek its own destiny.
But the question is asked, whether or
not these offences, coupled with the cleo
tion of chief executive avowedly hostile
to an extension of slavery, is cause justi-
flying, as matter Of policy, immediate Sc
cession?
To my mind, no farther local justifca-
ton is necessary. Still, if the Union was
severed to-day, leaving the slave States
as they originally stood sover-
eign and independent governments, recon-
Citation and compromise might, neverthc-
less, be induced by moderation, and free
interchange Of sentiment evolved by au-
tho1ity through conventions assembled
by the Northern and Southern portions of
the Union respectively.
In view, then, of the bare possibility
that the North may still beinduced to re-
trace her steps, and award to the South
srn States the rights guaranteed to them

,ipitate OF hasty action, having for its oh

The ONLY Remedy.

AO Why @OSAAASOJ
So far as South Carolina in concerned,
the unanimous voice of her people has
disposed of the question of secession. She
will unquestionably withdraw from the
Union as early as practicable after the
meeting of the Convention.
The next question is, will the exercise
of this indispensable right of sovereignty
involve her in war? Will the Federal
Government attempt to force her to re-
main in this present Union? We are dis
posed to think not, although we have in
timations to the effect that President
Buchanan is opposed to secession. Such
action on his part would be denial of
the highest principle of the State Rights
party, and would stamp him as federal
ist and consolidationist If State has
not the right to resume her sovereignty,
she has no rights at all in this present
Union, and is no more or less than COL
ony under the government at Washing
ton. No man at this day, who ever main
tanned the first principle Of State severe
ignty OF State Rights, could consistently
take such position.
South Carolina, through her former Con-
vention, eight years ago, asserted this
right; and, the time having arrived for
her to exercise it, we do not believe she
will be opposed by the Federal Govern
ment; if she should be, however, the strugg-
gle would be short one, for the attempt
to use force would bring to her side every
slaveholding State, and no doubt would
then exist of the prompt formation Of a
Southern Confederacy, embracing the
whole of them. Secession, therefore, we
believe to be peaceful remedy, and the
only remedy for the evils we suffer from
our present political connection.
In some quarters of the South, and by
some Unofficial positions, it has been pro-
posed to have convention of all the
Southern States. What benefit would re-
suit from such meeting before the sep
crate action of the States we cannot see.
The delegates to such a Convention would
not be clothed with authority to take the
South. as a section, out of the Union.
Even if they should De unanimous as to
the course the Southern States should pur-
sue they would have to return to their
constituencies. submit the proposed meas
ures to the people for ratification, and at
last each State for herself would have to
act in her sovereign capacity. BY such
course time would be lost, divisions among
the people on points of expedicncy might
spring up leading to parties comproms-
cs and hollow proposals of amity and
friendship would pour in upon the South
until resistance would be finally lost sight
of through the Vaccinations of Union-sav-
ers and submissionists.
Separate State Action commcnds itself
then as an effectual, prompt, and Gin all
probability a peaceful remedy for evils al
ready, borne too long, and the surest ir-
strumcntality in the great work Of our po-
litical deiiverancc and disenthralmcnt.

Love in q Cottage.

They may talk Of love in a cottage,
And bowers Of trellised vine,
OF nature bewitchingly simply,
And milk maids half divine,
They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
- In the shade of q spreading tree,
And walk in the fields at morning,
By the side of footstep freel
But give me a sly. Irritation
By the light of q chandelier,
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near,
Or seat on o silken sofa,
With glass of pure old wine.
And m; NINA too blind to discover.
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in cottage is hungry,
Your vine is nest for flies.
Your milk maid shocks the graces,
And simplicity talks of pies!
You lie down to shady slumber,
And you wake with bug in your ear,
Andyour damsel that walks in the morning
Is shod like mountaineer.
!. True love is at home on the carpet,
And nightly likes his ease
True love has an eye for dinner,
And;stories beneath shady trees,
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot froma silver string.

THE covert AcT."-A writer in the
Richmond (Va.) Examiner, arguing to
prove that the election of Lincoln is sutii-
cient to justify dissolution Of the Union,
OF even to make such step necessary,
thus refers to the proposition to wait for
an overt act:
"But setting this aside, thus much is
plain, that any overt act Of the Federal
Government would be less a warrant for
the resistance on the part of the South
than is the menacing action of the North
ern States in electing Mr.. Lincoln. And
plainly it might be urged that then we
should wait for change Of administra-
ton. But as the matter stands, what
hope can we wait for? Absolutely none
We have both the Federal Government
against us and the whole united body Of
the Northern States We have this as
matters now stand. But day by day the
Federal Government will strengthen that
party to which 1T owes It's success; and
that party reciprocally will strengthen
the Government. Meantime the South
will become weaker and weaker.
ave must profit by the experience Of
others where we have none Of our own.
Franco, not long since, was Republic.
The President was suspected Of trasona-
BILE designs. The opposition leaders wait
ed for some overt act. And we know the
result. We should see, in our case at
least, the most humiliating spectacle on
earth-all the Southern States subdued
by pure passive inaction, just as we have
seen the Monarch of Naples vanish with
out any definite or palpable attack"
