SOUTH CAROLINA sECEssIoN-TuE VIEWS OF THE An
MINIsTRATION.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Letters continue to be
received from South Carolina, saying that the peo-
pie OF that State have no quarrel with the Presi-
dent, but, as however, secession, the assembling
OF the convention in December, is spoken of as GER
tain to take place, the probability is that the ques-
uons growing out OF secession will have to be prac-
ucalIy dealt with by the present Administration.
FROM all reliable information received it does not
appear that there are any persons of influence in
South Carolina opposed to secession
The opinion obtains in official quarters that
though the South has just of complaint against
the North, no State is justified in secession, nor
reVolutlonary movements, not at least until every
constitutional and legal measure of redress has
peen exhausted. That no State has the right to
commit any act which would have the effect of
precipltating such condition of affairs as would
induce other States to join her in a disruption of
the Union.
Purser T. B. Walle has been ordered to Charles

MR.. YANCEY's OPINION.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Nail, of Tuesday, pub

WHAT Pennsylvania MUST DO.
We trust that the Governor will without delay,
call the Legislature together. Under the severe
provisions OF our banking laws, the banks may be
exposed to the most annoying assaults of those who
wish, either from malice or mercan ariness to ha-
rass and embarrass them. Legal protection should
therefore be at once given to them; of course how
ever, so qualified as to carefully guard the future
interests Of the community. Besides, the early as.
