The Legislature.

This body adjourned on Friday last after
session of five days. The members addressed
themselves theoretically to the important
duties which they were assembled to perform,
and despatched business with extraordinary
and commendable promptness. A law was
passed providing for the election, on the Goth
inst, of delegates to State Convention to
meet on the 7th Of January. Provision was
made for the appointment Of Commissioners
to other Southern States. And series Of
resolutions were passed setting forth the
grievances of the people of Mississippi and
declaring separation from the Union with the
Northern States the proper remedy.
These several measures were adopted with
almost entire unanimity.
The proposition to enact law staying the
collection of debts failed.

q An insolent Black Republican in Pennsyl-
yania, having written to Governor Lstcher Of
Virselia. that two hundred yirginians had
place themselves under his command to be
at the service of the Governor of Va, to be
marched against any seeding State to coerce it
into sabmissiea-Gov. Lstcher replied as fol-
lows:

ians" have agreed tc place themselves under
your +cjmmand, in the event of disunion, /"
ana that you are at my service and await
my orders yirginians owe allegiance to

Lincoln's Conservation" THE Proofs


We heard from certain persons and presses
even in the South during the canvass just
closed whispers Of LincoIn's conservatism
of his intention to respect the South and
be national President. We submit below
few extracts from bis speeches to show
what kind of conservatism lis is:
But this is not all; October 16, 1864. at
Peoria, we find Mr.. Lincoln declaring
"That no man is good enough to govern
another man WITHOUT the other consent Isav
this is the leaing principle, the SHEET
ANCHOR of american republication. y
y The master not only oov.

ierent from those which no prescribess for
himself Allow ALL the governed on
EQUAL vOlGEIN THE GOVERNMENT
and that, and that only, is elf-governmentp-
Hoce1Ps Life of Lincoln, page 27s.
Next, we find Mr. Lincoln, on the 18th of
June, 1853, at Springfield, ILL.,, setting forth
his IrrepressibIe Conflict" as follows
ave are now FIR into the 9Th wear since
a policy was ioitiaed with the avowed object
and conf lent promise Of putting an end To
slavery agitation. Under the operation of
that policy, that CITATION has not only not
ceased, but has cnstant'y augmented. In
my opinion, it vii not cease until a crisis
shall have been rached and passed. a
house divided agaiIst itself cannot stand
believe this government cannot endure per-
manentiy half slau and half free. l do not
expect the Union D be dissolved but I do
expect it will ceas to be divided. Il will
become all one thing or all the other. Either
the opponents of sbvery will arrest the fur
ther spread Of it, and place it where the
public mind shall rst in the belief thut it ia
in the course of Ultimate extinction, or its
advocates will puSbit forward unta it shall
become alike lawful in all the Strtes, old as
well as new, North gaH well as SOUTH"
Still later in speech at Chicago July 10th,
1868, we find Mr.. lincoln declaring

Or The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette BLACK Republican, is re-
joiced at the resignation of Southern United
States Senators. He says!
"This will give the President elect upon his
Inauguration, clear majority in the Senate,
to confirm his appointments. And Douglas
will probably be re-instated into the Chair
manship of the Committee on Territories"
And SO Douglas is to DO rewarded by the
Black Republicans for causing the defeat Of

Ep. MIssIssIPPIAN : The delegates to b
elected by the voters O: Mississippi on tht

duty will be to consider the relations between
the government of the State and that of the

what those relations shall DO for all time Il
come?
In such times as these, to consider measure.
OF such moment, it behooves the people to SO.

son for the purpose of selecting delegates to

day next it was voted that every man be-
longing to this organization whose avocation
would permit, consider himself delegate, and
if possible in duty bound to attend.
In view of the appearance of handbill o.
doubtful meaning on our streets, it was deem
ed advisable that an unnistakable expression
of the principles of the Minute Men be boldly
declared in order that there may be no eva
sion; the following resolution offered by Gen
7 j. Wharton, was therefore unanimously
adopted:
ResoiUed, That the Minute Men Of Jack.

ami that they viii support no coIdidate fol-
the convention to be held on the 1St Monday
in January next, who is not openly in favol
of Southern Confederscy.
The meeting was large and enthusiastic.
