annals OF Democratic fof,y Medary has re-
turned from the cafnpaign, sore and disgusted.
Gen. Harncy, fhe American Haypan, has had
no taste of Aboiifion blood to crafty his pal
ate, and has sent home his battery and dra-
goons. He will still have to rest on his pre-
vious won lanrels OF smoking fndian women
and babies TO death, siave-whippiBg, and San
Juan Fashnees. Gen. Frost, with his brave
Missouri volunteers, has left of looking for
Montgomery and gone to locking for Judge
Williams, who at last accounts, had got some
where into Central Missouri, and was spending
his time between telegFaphing blood and thun-
der items to the Eastern papers, and singing
ssHan Columbia" and the ssStar Spangled
Banner in the negro quarters of his host.
The Fort Riley troops are enesnrped at Mound
Cify-swearing at being conspeihd to- camp
out IN winter, just after returning FROM long
campaign ON the plains. Marshal Colby, with
suDdry faithful deputies and a detachment of
Bourbon county Dark Lanteyrifes, was at
last accounts poking about WITH a srvail posse
of troops, accommodating Df. Jennisen's
house-and safely made visit TO Montgom-
ery's place, after being fully satisfied that
Montgomery was not there Attorney GeneY-
al Daviss was dancing attendance, ready TO
drink gfass of grog or pocket a fee. About
a dozen poor fellows had been arrested, taken
to Fort Scott, tried before Justice, and ac-

Harney cursed Medary, and Medmy, after
taking extra chew of tobacco, reformed
the compliment. The gallant Shields Guard,
of Leavenworth, are rejoicing at the sober
second thought which saved them from be-
coming the general laughing stock OF their
neighbors; and tn cir gay Captain has signal
lsed the event by tho much more sensible pro-
ceeding of getting married. Taken all in all,
this is the most stnpendous farce over trans
acted in Kansas. Everybody is grining at it.
1t has been perfect God send to the tele-
graph lines, and has afforded our poor Demo-
cratic editors a more than ordinary chance for
the use of capitals, exclamation points, croco-

1t is believed the President will receive the
South Carolina Commissioners unofficially,
and present their communication to Congress
for its action, having no authority to entertain
any proposition they may submit, or to enter
upon negotiations with them. AS he has en-
couraged the secession movement throughout,
he will doubtless extend its representatives
still further aid and comfort To his imbecil-
ity and craven spirit it is indebted for all its
present Importance.

SECESSION CONVENTION.

The notable Secession Convention met at
Columbia, South Carolina, on the 18th Dec.,
and was permanently organized by the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Jamison, as President, who
opened the proceedings in a brief speech, in
which he prayed that God mighthelp the State.
Most of the day was occupied in calling over
the list of members, appointing committees,
and discussing resolution to adjourn to
Charleston, in consequence of the prevalence
OF the small pox in Columbia, in an epidemic
form. The Convention finally adjourned to
Charleston, where the members met on the
following day, and proceeded to, business.
Resolutions for the appointment OF Commit
tees on Foreign Relations, on Commerce, on
the Property of the United States in South
Carolina, and on the Postal Arrangements,
were discussed and adopted. Mr.. Miles, men,
Der Of Congress, gave an assurance that the
President would not reinforce Fort Moultrie,
adding that he (the President) had been mott.
fed that the moment he attempted to send re-
Inducements the fort would be taken by the
people OF South Carolina. A number of 9TH
er propositions were submitted and debated.
On the 18th, resolution was offered setting
forth that the causes which are about to sep
arate South Carolina from the Union, esema.
mated from States north OF Mason & Dixon's
line, which use hireling labor only.'' Some
discussion was had on the resolution, after
which Mr.. Inglis, from the Committee to pre-
pare an Ordinance to dissolve the Union be-
tween South Carolina and the United States
reported the following =
We, the people of the State of South Car
olina, in convention assembled do declare and
ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained,
that the ordinance adopted by us in conven-
tion on the 23d day of May, in the year of our
Lord 1888, whereby the Constitution of the
United States of America was ratified and
also all acts and parts of acts of the General
Assembly of this State ratifying amendments
OF the said Constitution are hereby repealed,
and that the union now subsisting between
South Carolina and the other States, under
the name of the United States OF America,
is hereby dissolved.
The ordinance was taken up and passed u
! unanimously, by a vote of 169.
As soon as its passage was known without
the doors of the Convention, it rapidly spread
on the street among the crowd collected, and
was hailed with immense cheering, and the
news telegraphed to the members of Congress
at Washington immediately.
The Convention appointed Messrs. Barnwell,
Adams and Orr as Commissioners to proceed
to Washington to treat with the Government
for the acknowledgement of the independence
OF South Carolina, and for an equitable divi-
sion of the public property.

IL. That Kansas should, of right, be
Immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
OF Representatives.
IL. That, while providing revenue for
the support of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment of these imports as TO
encourage the development of the indus
trial interests of the whole country and
we commend that policy of national ex-
changes, which secures TO the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
rating prices, To mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
ID. That we protest against any sale or
alienation 10 others of the Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppli-
ants for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress Of the complete
and satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
ID That the Republican party is OPP
posed TO any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State legislation by which
the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor o.
giving full and efficient protection TO the
rights of all classes Of citizens, whether ma.
tive or naturalized. both at home and
| abroad.
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor improvements OF .
National character, required for the ac
commodation and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the Consti
tuition, and justified by the obligation O
Government to protect the lives and prop
erty of It's citizens.
I6. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocear
is imperatvely demanded by the Interest,"
OF the whole country that the Fedora
Government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid in its construction ant
that, as preliminary thereto, daily Over
land Mail should be promptly established
IT. Finally, having thus set forth ou
distihctiSe principles ana views, we inVlt'
the cooperation of all citizens, howeve
differing on other questions, who substan
tally agree with us in their afirmance ant
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION.
| Resolved, That we deeply sympathiz'
with those men who have been driven
some of them from their native States ant
others from the State of their adoption
and are now exiled from their homes ol
account Of their opinions and we hole
the Democratic party responsible for thi
gross violation Of that clause of the Consti
tuition which declares that the citizens o
each Stale shall be entitled to all the priv
lleges and immunilies of citizens in the sew
eral States.
