The Legislature.


There was full House yesterday, nearly
all the members who were prevented from
reaching here at an earlier day on account OF
the late very inclement weather and almost
impossible condition of the roads, being in
their seats. Many bills were passed but gen.
orally of local character The Levee Bill
being the order of the day, was called up, but
again laid upon the table and made the special
order of the day for Tuesday next at eleven
o'clock, when the debate upon it will be re-
sutned and the bill finally disposed Of A res
olution was introduced fixing upon an early
day for adjournment and laid upon the table
until the 26th instant.
The Senate was engaged during the morn
ing session with the introduction of local
bills. During the evening session the regular
orders were taken up-the only one Of gener-
al interest being the bill introduced by Mr..
Oliver, of De Soto: "An act to exempt from
execution and sale slaves in cases where the
plaintiff or person for whose use the money
sought to be collected denies the right of prop
erty IN slaves - for which, Dr. Covington, of
Winston, offered as substitute bill to en-
courage direct trade and promote Southern In
dependence, both Of which were referred to
the Committee on State and Federal Relations.

The Legislature.

In the House to-day, sundry bills were
passed, some Of a genenl character, con-
tanning provisions which the interests of the
whole people demand.
Mr. Lake introduced bill, which was laid
on the table, and two hundred copies ordered
to be printed-asking Congress to call con-
vention of all the States, under art. : of the
Federal Constitution and endeavor to more
fully and effectually secure all the rights of all
the States, and in the event Of failure to eff
feet that object agree to peaceable separation
and equitable division of all the property then
belonging to the States.
In the Senate to-day, Mr.. Minis called up
the Report Of the Committee on State and
Federal Relations, and offered the following
resolution by way of amendment:
Resolved, That in order to be prepared for
such contingency, Mississippi recommends
to her sister slaveholding States that they
meet in convention ON the 4th day Of July
next, at Atlanta, Georgia, to determine the
action they will take in the event Of the cleo
ton of Black Republican President and
that Mississippi further recommends that
each of said States appoint number of dele
gates to represent them in said convention,
equal to the number of their Senators and
Representatives in Congress; and that the
Legislature proceed at an carly day to appoint
seven delegates to represent Mississippi in
said convention.
The resolution was laid over for considera-
ton, with the report of the Committee, on
Monday next.
Gen. Starkes resolution to senda Commits
sioner to Virginia, was taken up, and is con-
tinued for discussion tomorrow.

Some Additional Reasons why Southern
Democrats ought not to Vote for
Gilmer.

In addition to the reasons which We have
heretofore assigned in justification Of the re-
fusal of the Democratic members Of the House
to CO operate with such hardened Abolition
lists rs Thaieus Stevens, in electing Gilmer, Of
North Carolina, Speaker, we find the follow
ing conclusive ones in o late Raleigh (N. CO.
Standard:
"Frst, because he endeavored, during the
last Congress to retain Lewis D. Campbell, a
Black Republican, in his seat in Congress, and
to keep out Of the seat that sound National
Democrat and friend Of the Constitutional
rights Of the South, Mr.. Vallandingham; the
said Campbell having been fraudulently elect
ed by free negro votes, which the House de-
clared, at the close Of the discussion, by GUST
ing Campbell and admitting Vallandingham to
the seat Mr.. Gilmer's organ, the Green's
borough Patriot, afterwards sought to produce
the impression that Mr.. Vallandinghim was an
abolltionist. The object Of that paper and Of
Mr.. Gilmer in adopting this course, was to
screen Dir. Gilmer from the consequences Of
having taken sides with the abolitionists
against National Democrat.
Second, because Dir. Gilmer delivered a
speech in the last Congress on the subject of
slavery, Tor the sentiments Of which he was
congratulated and applauded b. abolition mem
bers Of the House, many of these abolition
members subscribing and paying for copies of
the speech to be circulated among their con-
stituents.
"Third, because Mr.. Gilmer is obviously
the choice for Speaker among all Southern
members of the Black Republican members,
as shown by their votes for him, and by
extracts from the New York Tribune.
"Fourth, because Mr.. GiImers election as
Speaker would divide us here at home, and
viewed in this aspect, it would really injure
North Carolina more than would the election
Of Sherman"

The House Slightly Excited.

In the United Statss House Of Representa-
tives, on the 18th inst, an attempt was made
to induce Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, to withdraw
his resolutions. AS they may have passed
from the memory Of some Of our readers, We
republish them:
WHEREAS, Certain members Of this House,
now in nomination for Speaker, did endorse
and recommend certain book hereinafter
mentioned; therefore
Resolved, That the doctrines and sentiments
contained in the book, s'The Impending Crisis
of. the South" prepared or written by H. r.
Helper, are insurrectionary, and hostile to the
domestic peace and tranquility Of the cotin-
try.
-Resoluea, That no member Of this House
who has recommended it, or the compend of
the same, is fit to be Speaker of this House.
Mr.. Clark refused TO withdraw these res
buttons, an exciting debate sprang up. In the
midst Of il, and while Mr.. Haskin, of New
York, wasspeaking very theoretically, pistol
fell from bis pocket to the floor This pro-
duced an intense excitement, and q general
collision was feared, many believing that an
assault on Mr.. Clark was intended. The
Sergeant-at-Arms restored order, however, and
mutual explanations ensued. No ballot for o
Speaker was attempted

Still Playing upon our Credulity.

In the New Haven News is call for a
Manufacturers Convention at Meriden on the
18th inst, "to take into consideration the state
Of the Union."' The call is numerousIy sign
cd, and added to each signature is the calling
and place of business of each signer. On
the list are familiar names which We see
stamped upon manufactured articles Of daily
use. The advertising ruse is growing rather
stale with us here in the South. We want
something more than signatures of merchants
and manufacturers names conspcuously dis
played to calls" for Union Meetings Our
credulity can be no longer played upon in that
way. The trick is entirely played out, and is
no more taken forsevidence of soundness. 1t
is regarded as it should be, as mere attempt
to advertise themselves friendly to southern
institutions and rights, to get the benefit of the
moral influence of such belief, in their bust
ness. Southern merchants, and others wish
ing to discriminate in their purchases, will
seek for better evidence than signing call
for Union meeting, or even participating in
one; and the Connecticut manufacturers might
promote their interest as much by staying at
home, as by going to Meriden, with the ex-
pectation of getting their names paraded
through the press as manufacturers of augurs
and augur bits" &c.-MobiLe Mercury

The Legislature.

In the House two important bills were in
PRODUCED. One by Mr.. Clark, providing for a
more thorough and efficient organization Of
the Militia Of the State; and the other, by Mr.
Matthews to prevent the circulation and
vending of incendiary publications. Both
postponed for future consideration. The spe-
cial order of the day, was the bill introduced
by Mr.. Adams repeating the act of 1858 pro-
hib.ting cut-offs in the Mississippi river, which
elected considerable discussion, in which
Messrs. Adams, Clarke, Valiant, Barksdale,
Wilson, Jones. Scales, Bradford, and Hooker
participated The bill was lost.
The most Of the time of the Senate, yes
terday was occupied in the discussion, in COM
mittee of the whole, of Mr.. Starke's resOlu-
ton to send Commissioner to Vrginia-the
report of the Committee on State and FEEDER
al Relations, and the many amendments pro-
posed to both, all being considered, gave rise
to a very animated and interesting debate in
which Messrs- Harrison, Drane, McLain,
Starke, Minis McRae and Howry participated.
The subject is to be resumed to-day.

or The leading democratic organs think
the message and recommendation Of Goyerno,
Melville on the Planters Bank Bonds were
extraordinary and inopportune." They CD.
pose the payment, because the law under
which the bonds were issued was unconstitu.
tional and invalid. But the Supreme Cont
Of that State has decided in effect the contra
ry and already 100000 of the interest has
been paid; yet the champions of reputation
IN mississippi still insist upon non-payment-
Il. " Erchaage.
Not quite so fast sir! We have ALREADY
explained that the payment of interest al
ludedro did not even remotely involve the le-
gality or constitutionalty of the debt, nor
commit the State to its payment; and it is an
entire mistake that the Supreme Court has
ever decided that the Flaw was constitutional
and valid" It has made such decision on
the Union Bank Bonds, and every well in
formed person knows that the payment of
the Planters Bank Bonds, which are, if DOS
sible, . still less binding obligation upon the
people, is designed as an entering wedge to
the payment Of the former.

The Issues of the Day.

In our columns to-day will be found a let
ter (which has been kindly placed at our dis
posaD addressed by T. c. Topper, Esq, Of
Canton, to a commercial firm in New York,
who are largely engaged in Southern trade.
His letter IS Writtenin response to an inquiry
prompted probably by unselfsh motives, and
possibly by the CULVER of the pocket nerve) as
to the effect Of the sectional controversy upon
Southern trade in the North.
Thereby of Col Upper is directly to the
point. It places the responsibility of the diff
Guilty where it belongs-traces its history
points out its inevitable consequences, if not
arrested by its authors; and frankly explains
the only method by which peaceable solu-
ton ofthe controversy may be effected. That
disunion, with its train of benefits to the
South, which has all the elements Of man
ufacturing as well as producing country, and
its evils to the North, will result from the con-
tinued interference of the latter with the affairs
of the former, is as certain as that one day is
the precursor Of another. This fact is can
didly ayowed by the writer of the letter, and
is justified by irrefutable reasoning. We have
submitted it to our readers as valuable
contribution to the common stock of ideas up

William +. Goodwin, Of Concord, n. II.
Chairman Of the Committee on Resolutions
accepted and unanimously Gdoped Thew
come fully up to the highest standard Of
Southern sentiment:
Resolred That the Constitution Of the
United States is a compact between indepsn-
dent sovereign States possessing equal rights
and powers and securing to each, and the
whole, equal privileges and protection.
Pesolred. That no State, or any number Of
States combined, is entitled to, or can claim
rights. powers, and privileges under the Con-
stitution. which are not possessed and cannot
be claimed by all the States.
Reso1ped, That neither the Federal Govern.
ment nor any Of its branches has the consti.
tutional power to inure, nullify, or destroy but
| it is its duty TO recognize and protect the in
situations of the several States Of the Union.
and the rights Of persons and Of property
Of their respective citizens, OF Whatever de-
scription such rights may be, or in whatever
form they may exist within the jurisdiction
of the Union.
Resolred, That the domain and the organ
lied Territories Of the UDiln, having been &C.
quired by their common blood and treasure,
are the common property OF the people Of al
the States, who have an equal right 10 emf
crate to and settle in them with such property
and effects as are recognized as such in the re-
spective States from which they 60 including
property in slave labor; and TO hold the same
there, free from hindrance or molestation
while the territorial condition exists; and that
If the right to such property is disturbed o.
attempted to be wrested from them, It Is ths
duty of the Congress of the United States 4
enact all laws which may be necessary ior IL
security and protection, provided the Judiciary
and Executive of the United States shall no
possess adequate power to protect the sam
for want Of such legislation.
RssOlTed, That we approve Of the principle
Of the opinion pronounced by the SupFem
Court of the United States in the case Of Dire
Scot, and regard them as a true key to
sound Interpretation Of the Cincinnati Fiat
form, which, with that Interpretation, we up
prove and sustain.
Resolved, That we condemn and denounc
with horror the secret invasion Of the soveF
eighty of the State of Virginia, by the lat
John Brown and his fellow conspiratOrs, no
only on account Of the REASONABLE and muir
derous act, but also on account Of its tenden

tons heretofore so happily existing among tn
several States, and to prepare the way for
dissolution of the Union.
| Resolued, That we regard the crimes Of th
said John Brown and his accomplices, as tn
| legitimate fruits of the present bitter and un
iustifable warfare waged by the Republicn
party against the people of the South on &C
count Of the institution of slavery, for which
that party should be held responsible beior
