Proceedings Of the Legislature.

Proceedings Of the Legislature.
MHLEDGEvLLE, Nov. 10, 1S6O.-Resclutions that
the election Of Senator be moved to Monday, 18th
and other days, were proposed.
Mr. Harris, of WORTH favored The earliest time as
it was well known who Georgia preferred and when
elected he would instantly resign if the interests of
Georgia Inu the South required it.
NJ. Oliver, of Heard favored the earliest day, OBJ
jectng to keeping candidates here on expense.
Mr.. Jones, of Newton, urged the greatest delay.
He regarded the present time for elaboration,
and they needed all the light that could be obtained
before action. \ few weeks might develope impor-
tant matters, which ought to be known before the
election.
Mr. Spading, of Mcintosh, favored the postpone
ment two weeks. He didn't believe in endorsing so
early LincelnS election. There were measures more
important TO the Convention. Retaliatory legisa-
ton claimed precedence over the election of sena-
tor
Mr.. Seward of Thomas favored the postponement
He was opposed to doing anything early to indi-
cate that Georgia intended to submit to Lincoln's
election.
Mr. Harris, of Worth, inquired whether Mr. Sc
ward favored secession If Georgia so decidedn Con-
vention.. He thought Georgia would not be sustain
ed by other Southern States by thus indicating her
willingness to submit to Lincolns election He con-
sidered the safety Of the South TO act unit.
Mr.. LawtOn, of Chatham, favored the utmost de-
lay of the election Of Senator. There was necess
ty OF speedy action Georgia would be represented
in the Senate till the 4th of March. lie agreed
with Mr.. Seward that so speedy indication to sub
NIT to the election of Lincoln would place Georgia
in antagonism with her sister States, as the news
would be speedily sent over the country that Geor
ga acquiesced in the election Of Lincoln.
Mr.. Spauldng moved that the resolution lie on
the table at present Adopted.
A bill was introduced heavily taxing manu(ac-
tured articles from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania Michigan, Wisconsin and 9TH
er States multiplying the fugitive slave law.
Also, for preventing the citizens of offending
States from sueing in the Courts of Georgia.
The Legislature adjourned from Friday till Mon
day.

Four correspondent, +" E Pluri5us Unum," to pub
lsh the speech of the Hon. Bedford Brown, deliver
ed in the Senateof the United States, in 1888, on
the Revenue Collection or Force Bill. This speech
will prove interesting at this crisis as the condition
OF the country is very similar now to what it was
then. 1t is State Rights Union speech, and bears
the marks Of much research and thought on the part
of its distinguished author. But correspondent
refers more at length to the speech and to the con-
dition of the times in which it was delivered: -
..~ For the Standard.
Mr.. HOLDEN: The writer of this communication
respectfully requests you to republish the speech of
Ex-senator Bedford Brown, delivered in the Senate
of the United States, in February 1888, in opposi
ton to the Force Bill, intended 20 suppress nuif-
cation in the State of South Carolina. The speech
reported falls far short of justice to that delv
cred. Mr. b. never revised 1t, having been called
home by domestic affection few days after it was
made The principles which it maintains emf
nently union, and will endure, and are peculiarly
applicable to the present crisis They assume that
the Federal Union can only be maintained by alb
starring from encroachments the reserved rights
of the States. The speech in its imperfect FORM has
been much complimented by both political friends
and adverSaries. In volume by Marsh, styled
daniel Webster and his contemporaries" liberal
extracts given from it. The author remarks that
M. Grundy, of Tennessce, was principally relied
on by the administration to carry the bill through
the Senate, that "canvaSsng the Senate he found
among his political associates there, some unchange-
ably opposed to the principles and recommendations
of the bl-Mangum and Brown of North Caro-
lima, Pondexter Of Mississippi, Tyler of Virginia,
Bib of Kentucky all able debaters; and hitherto,
most prominent of the Democratic party threatened
to oppose the passage of the bill with all the strength
of argument and skill in strategy they could COM
mand Executive Establishments and Executive me-
mace availed naught against their purpose. They
entrenched themselves within their States rights
principles, as Wellington at Torres Vedras."

The Popular Vote for President,

The New York Herald estimates the popular vote
for President as follows: Lincolns vote IN the free
States, 1,SCO,O IN the slave States, 500OO-ma-
king in all 1,S5O,OOO votes. Opposition vote, or
the vote for Breckenridge Bell and Douglas in the
free States 16O0O OO in the slave States, 1850 900
making 2,65G,000, showing Lincoln to be in a mi
nority of 100000 in the total vote of 1900, OOO-
According to this estimate the free States have cast
$4,000 more votes against Lincoln than the slave
States Of the 900 votes cast in the free States
100000 were cast oy conservative men who are
disposed to do the South justice and to protect her
l., her Constitutional rights. These conservatives
are TO be found in every neighborhood in the free
States. They are the friends and allies of the South
and they will rally hereafter with the South, as on
former OCCASIONS in the good work of preserving the
government from abolition tendencies. 1t is there
fore, hot all gloom in the Northern sky. The Sorld
contains truer patriots than the anti-Lincoln men
of the non-slavcLolding States Nor are they likely
to abandon the South. Their hostility to black
Repubiicanism is intense. They detest it because
they know it to be dangerous 70 the Union it is
troublesome to them. They couA not unite with it
without doing violence to their own feelings and
Judgments as citizens and as party men.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 11.-Nothing was ever
seen here to equal the enthusiasm of the resistance
meeting held here last night The speeches of Gov.
Moore, Judge Pettus, Judge Clanton, Col. Yancey,
and Messrs. Goldthwath and Rice, were received
with tremendous cheering. The Bell Electors in
Guiding Mr. Dawson of Dallas county, are unani-
nous for secession. The resolutions adopted af-
firm the principle of separate State action, but ex-
press willingness to consult with the other South
ern States.
The people are unit for secession, and Alabama
will certainly dissolve her connection with the Fed
eral Government ...
Mr. Yancey, it seems, is making disunion speeches
in Alabama While at the North he refused to say
whether he would regard the election Of Lincoln as
good cause for dissolution.

Chatham Co. y. c., Oct 9th, 1850.
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God, in His all
Sc providence to remove from time to eternity our
late brother, Ambrose Brewer, and thus cut of in
the prine of life in his thirty fifth year, one who,
when with u.s. enjoyed the confidence and esteem OF
all; Therefore
Reselred That while we bow in humble submis-
sion to the will of Him who hath the power to give
and to take away, cannot but lament our sad be-
reavement
ResOtred, That we offer our 8armest sympathy
to the family and friends of the deceased and while
they have lost kind husband and father, We too,
have lost worthy and faithful brother, and, while
freely mingling our tears with theirs on a common
altar of grief, we would point them to that eternal
source which alone is the giVer of all good gifts and
graceS
ResOlred, That we will wear the usual badge Of
mourning for thirty days.
ResOLred, That copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of the deceased, and also to the North

~ In a recent debate in the Legislature Of
South Carolina Mr.. Mullins of Marion, said:
South Carolina had tried cooperation, but had
exhausted that policy. The State Of Virginia had
discredted the cause which our Commissioner went
there 20 advocate, although she treated him person.
ally with respect but she had as much as said there
were no indigntieS which could drive her to take
the leadership for Southern rights. If wait for
cooperation, slavery and States rights would be
abandoned sovereignty and the cause of Southern
rights lost forever, and we would be subjected to n
dominion the parallel to which was that Of the poor
Indian under the British East India Company
w hen they had pledged themselves to take the
State Oh: of the Union and placed it upon the record,
then he was willing to send Commissioner to GeOr
ga or any other Southern State to announce our tie
termination and to submit the question whether
>tbey would join us not We have 1t from high
authority that the representative " one OF the I'm
perial PoTers of Europe in view Of thS prospective
separation OF one or more of the Southeri. States
from the present c6nfederacy has made such prUIo-
Sition in advance for the establishment of these re-
lations between it and and the government about to
be established in this State, will ensure future
supply Of cotton for that power, which their grow
ing wants for that article will require. This infor-
nation is perfectly authentic"
The idea of the proud high-minded, end intelli-
gent people of the slaveholdng States being reduced
in any event, to the condition of the "poor Indian
under the British East Indian Company" is simply
ridiculous. Mr. Mullins paints with broom Of the
toughest and largest sort His colors are those of
blood and despair. His glorious and gallant old
State is still what she was. She has submitted to
no ndignities, nor is she likely to submit 10 any
Secession may nave no better future than acquies-
cense in the administration of Lincoln. So far as
the Imperial Powers of Europe" are concerned, it
may be well to bear in mind that they have no right
to treat with seeding State. just now war be-
tween the United States and some Of these "Impe-
rial Powers" would give new life TO the Union; and
it may be that war will result from the negotiations
said to be going between certain European Pow
ers and certain cotton States.
