Gov. HICKS AND COMMISSIONER HANDY
The Commissioner from Mississippi ha ring
addressed Gov. Hicks communication
soliciting, on the part of his State. the
co operation of Maryland in measures neces.
sary to defend the rights Of the Slave States.
and asking when the Legislature ofMaryand
will be convened for that purpose. the Gov
replied under date of 10Th inst, in tenn.
perate and judicious reply, in which he con.
cludes by SAYING
Il atm unable to inform you when the
Legislature this State will be ca lied together:
for Gntrl can perceive the necessity for such
step am not willing 10 awake the appre-
hcnsion and excite tie alarm which such n
call ut the present time could not fail to
create"
The Governor alludes. in his reply, to a
conversation had with Judge Handy during
the visit Of the latter to Annapolis. in which
the significant fact was revealed. that Mis-.
sississippi desires the appointment of Com.
missionerS by the Legislature of Maryland to
meet other Commissioners from Southern
States not for conference for the preservation
Of their rights. but for the institution of
measures for the formation of a new gov.
ernment among themselves. Tha Governor /.
letter is highly applaadcd, as it justly
deserves to be. lie unquestionably expresses
the sentiment of the people Of Maryland in
declining to take any step looking to con.
ference with Mississippi. or any other State,
for the purpose Of forming :. Southern Con.
federacy."

a CABINET APPOINTMENT The St. Louis
Democrat announces that it has the permits.
sion both Of Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Bates to
sny that the latter will occupy seat in the
new Cabinet. 1t is not, however, definitely
settled which department will be assigned to
Mr.. Bales. Says tho Democrat" If
designs in any way ininical to the South
were enter tanned, Mr. Bates would not have
been selected for place in the new admins.
tration: and if. by some uncomfortable
blunder. he was selected to aid in carrying
out such policy. we need hardly say that
he would peremptoily reject the offer. A
full. tree, aud candid interchange Of senti.
mcnts and opinions took place between both
gentlemen, and the result. we are happy to
state, is mutually satisfactory. Their unan.
unity is the basis Of the important relation
which Mr.. Bates is to bear to MIR. Lincoln S
Administrations"

Repeal Of Personal Liberty Bills.

The Boston journal (Republican) learns
from Vermont that there is strong feeling
in favor OF repeal of the Personal Liberty
law Of that State and adds:
The effort to secure such n repeal in the
last Legislature was not made under the most
favorable auspices 1t Was urged as a party
measure by leading Democrats. who seemed
to he actualed more oy spirit of party
propasandiSm than by desire that Vermont
should fulfil to the letter and spirit her con-
federalc obligations. But the Legislature,
nevertheless. referred the matter to the Com
missioncrs on the Revision of the Statutes for
their opinion. 1t is understood that the Com
mlSsione,s Will advise repeal, and that Gov
Fairbanks favors this action.
Governor Sprague, Of Rhode Island, has
publicly declared himself IN favor of the i'm
mediate abrosaton Of the Personal Liberty
bill Of that State. and he thinks that the
General Assembly, as soon as they convene
(in january, will without hesitation second
his own sentimcn by repeating the obnox-
ious statute. The Rhode Island Personal
Liberty act, in the opinion Of legal men, is
50 constructed as not to conflict directly with
the provisions of the Constitution. It's spirit
and intention, however, no one can doubt. -
Like the enactments of other States, its aim is
to embarass and obslruct the execution of the
constitutional provision for the rendition of
fugitves. and in tins respect is q violation of
the sacred compact.
The repeal Of the Personal Liberty laws of
the New England States would show the rx.
slence Oft friendly and iralernal feeling to-.
ward the South. and determination to fulfil
all our Constitutional Obligations 1t would
demonstrate to the South, and particularly to
the conservative men Of that section, that we
are ready to make such concessions as will
put us entirely in the right.
With regard 10 the Liberty Law Of Massa.
chusetts the journal, after recapitula,ing its
unconstitutional features calculated 10 en-
courage the rescue of fugtivcs, says:
Such provisions speak their own meaning
and effect. and we do not see how they are to
be rcconciled with our constitutional oblIga-
tons in the premises. But without further
review of the Personal Liberty bill. We sub
NIT its provisions to the careful conSidCra-
ton of the public. To us the most import
ant argument for its repeal at the present
time is that such al act on the part of Mass
achusetts would be holding out the olive
branch of peace. 1t is the only concession
we can make to Southern feeling without a
sacrifice of principle, and it is one which, if
made, will strengthen the hands of the con-
scrvalives of that section and turn the cur
rent Of public sentiment in favor OF the Union.
We have the most positive assurances from
conservative and patriotic men Of the South
that this will be The effect OF repeal.

have been taken in Monterey Bay this year by the
small boats engaged in the coastng whale fishery.
The emigration 10 the Washoe mines is increasing.
II Is believed that average Of fifty people leave
San Francisco daily for these mines. The emgra-
ton is proportionately large from all other parts Of
the State.
