WHAT ONE MAN CAN Do.-.Orville
Gardner, the reformed prize fighter
claims that by his temperance coffee
house in New York, during the last
Is months, 1900 persons have been in
dnced to take the pledge to abstain
from all that can intoxicate. The re-
formation of this man, is another evil
dence of what religion and temperance
can do for man and his noble efforts
in behalf of his old comrades in vice.
show how much good one man can do
when surrounded by the right kind of
influence. Mr. G. is lecturing on
Temperance in some parts of this
State, and as int emperance is wofnlly
on the increase, since the canse of
temperance has been so mnch neglect
ed, we should like to see a new impe-
tus given to that noble reformation,
and Mr. Gardener have an opportnni-
ty to tell our people what temperance
has done for him, and what it will do
for all who observe it.

mittee appointed to wait upon the

formed their duty.
The Presidents Message was deliy-
cred by A. J. Glossbenner, his private
Secretary, which was read.
Mr.. Clingman of N. Caroliua, after
the reading of the Message, moved it

MIR. Crittendon of Kentucky, made

expressed the hope that the Union
might be preserved.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The following is brief abstract OF
the Presidents Message, as it concerns
domestic affairs:
He says that the most palpable vio-
lati0ns of the Constitution have been
committed by different State Legisla-
lures, that have passed acts to obstruct
the execution Of the Fugitive Slave
Law. Let US trnst that these State
Legislatures will repeal all such un-
constitutional and obnoxious enact
nents. Unless this shall be done, with
no unnecessary delay, il is impossible

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4th


SENATE Session opened with
prayer.
Mr.. Green, of Mo-, introduced
resolution that the &C mlnittee of the
judiciary, be instructed to inquire in
quire into the propriety of providing
by law, for establishing an srmed po-
lice force along the border States,
both slave and free, for the purpose of
maintaining general peace between the
States, and preventing invasion of
States by the citizens of another, and
also, for the efficient execution of the
fugitive slave law.
Mr.. Cameron, of Pa, moved that
the subject be made the order of the
day for next Monday.
Mr.. Hale, N. H., moved to recon-
slider the vote by which 100, 900 copies
of the Presidents Message were Or
dered to be printed. He said that if
he understood the Message clearly it
first took the ground that South Caro-
lima had just cause to secede, and sec
ondly, declared that she had no right
to secede. He thought the President
should have pointed out to Congress
some rule for guidance. He has fail
ed to look the thing in the face. We
must look to the ballot box or a war
for the termination of these Difficult
ties.
South Carolina asks no counsel.
She considers disunion settled uues-
ton and is arming herself. The voice
of the majority as announced at the
ballot box will not be submitted to by
her. She considers that the Northern
States are the aggressors The gen.
tlemen ON the other side listen to the
voice of passion rather than to their
own convictions. We are trying an
experiment. Our republic has not
yet outlived the soldiers who fought
its battles and won its victories. We
have obtained what we have only by
great effort. We are approaching
the elimination points, and the civil
war of England was Insignificant to
what our conflict may be if we cannot
settle things peacably. We must look
danger straight in the face.
Mr.. Salisbury, of Delaware, said
that his State was first TO adopt the
Constitution, and would be the last to
countenance any act calculated to has
ten the separation of these States. -
His remarks were received with great
applause by those in the galleries.
A message was received in the Sen.
ate, stating that the House had pass
ed the Homestead Bill.
The speaker viii not announce the
committee on that portion of the Presi-
dents Message which refers to seces-
sion until Monday next, as he wishes
in the first place to consult the men,
bers Of the different State delegations
to enable him to make the best selec-
tions.

was about the same as that In the last
session. the opposition being from the

for any human power to save the
Union
In order to justify secession as
constitutional remedy, it must be on
the principle that the Federal Govern
ment is mere voluntary association
of States-to be dissolved at the pleas
ure of either of the contracting par
ties IF this be so, then the confede-
racy is but rope of sand.
Secession is neither more nor less
than Revolution. Speaking of the
stoppage of the federal machinery in
South Carolina, the President says the
executive has no authority to decide
what are the relations between the
federal government and South Caro-
lima, apart from the execution of the
laws.
He recommends convention to be
provided for by Congress, or the State
Legislature, to obtain an explanatory
amendment to the Constitution, on
the subject of Slavery, and the final
settlement of the true construction of
the Constitution. He recommends
the following as the basis of such
amendments /:
lst An express recognition Of the
right of property in slaves in the states
where slavery now exists, or may here
after exist.
End. The duty ct protecting this
right in all the common territories
through their territorial existance and
until they are admitted as states into
the Union.
Sd. A like recognition of the right
of the master to have his slave who
has escaped from one state into ano:h-
er, returned and delivered up, and
that all State laws conflicting with
this right be declared null and void.
The President says the right of re-
sistance against tyranny and oppres-
sion cannot be denied This right is
asserted in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
Speaking of affairs in South Carroll
ma, he does not apprehend that any
attempt will be made to seize The forts,
but if in this he is mistaken, the Off
GERS have orders to act strictly on the
defensive.
Let the responsibility rest on the
heads of those who provoke the con-
test He invokes his countrymen to
pause befor attempting to destroy the
Union which has conferred so many
benefits
He then proceeds to speak of other
questions including our relations with
foreign nations.
After the reading Of the Message
was concluded, it was moved by Mr.
Sherman that it be referred to the
Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union.
Mr. Sherman's original motion then
passed as amended. Adjourned.

Ex- Chief Justice Hornblower be the
President of the College, which motion
was unanimously adopted, and the
venerable Eleetor conducted to the
Chair.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Hornblow-
er made some feeling and touching re-
marks relative to his own advanced
age, and the probability of its being
the last time he should ever assemble
with them. He was, he said, a child
of the American Revolution, having
been born in l777. He spoke of his
father as one of the active participants
in that momentous struggle, and paid
well-deserved tribute to his memory.
His politics, he said had never changed
he was an American Republican in
his younger days, and he was one still.
He thanked the Electors for the hon.
or of making him their presiding officer
and promised to fulfill its duties to the
best of his abilities.
Mr.. Runyan was then appointed
Secretary of the College.
The next business was to ballot for
President of the United States. Hon.
Geo. II. Brown was appointed by the
chair to aid the Secretary in receiving
and counting the ballots. The an
nouncement of the first ballot was as
fallows
For Lincoln, votes
For Douglas, 3
A ballot for Vice President was
next taken. the announcement of
the first ballot for Vice President was
as follows:
For Hamliu, 4 votes
For johnson, 3 &c"
The three certificates were then made
out and signed by all the electors.
The next business was to appoint
