The CoxsPIRAcT-The secessionists Of South
Carolina have now furnished abundant evidences
that they have been long conspiring the dissolu-
ton of the Union and have not the slightest idea
Of returning to their allegiance under any circum
stances unless coerced" The following are
extracts from speeches made in the South Carolina
Convention, viz:
Mr.. Packer, speaking Of secession, said: ''It 10
no spasmodlc effort that has come suddenly upon
US, but 1t has been gradually eliminating for
long series Of years"
Mr. Inglis said: "Most Of us have had this sub
iect under consideration for the last twenty "
Mr.. Ksitt said: II have been engaged in this
movement ever since entered political life +"
Sir. Rhett said: lit is nothing produced by Mr..
Lincoln's election or the non-execution Of the
fugitive slave law. IL Is matter which has been
gathering head for thirty years" And he further
said: I'VE are about to sunder our relations with
that section, 1.-THE North and trust forever
On another occasion Sir. Rhett said: "The
Federal laws laying taxes on the people of South
Carolina have fallen this day; and, so far as we
are concerned, fallen, trust, forever"
Hence 1t appears that there has been long
concocted conspiracy to overturn the Government
OF the United States, and that the causes hereto
fore alleged are mere pretexts.
Does any friend Of Union believe thatthes men
intend ever 10 return to their allegiance, no mat
ter what concessions are made by the North
IL 50, be is under a dangerous dslusion.

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING COERCION The
introduction, TO- day, in the House of resolution
strongly deprecating coercion created great ex-
element; and for a moment personal conflict
seemed likely to occur over II between Messrs.
Barksdale and McClernand. The extraordinary
excitement grew out Of limitations thrown out
that members desired Sinking the question In
volved in the resolution. As our report left the
hail q motion to lay the resolution on the table
was being carried.
Congress having more than any others brought
public affairs iRto their present deplorable con-
dition, il matters little indeed what their opinion
IN the premises may be; as 1t is not likely that il
will have more weight with the country at large
than the opinion Of any other body Of individual!

every to believe that in his letter of resg-

status Of the United States in Charleston should
remain unchanged and that Major Andersen s
