S0uth Carolina and the Border
States.

Tie Charleston Mercury treats the border
| slaves States with contempt. South Carroll
ma, If the Mercury speaks for her, does not
want their advice, will refuse to consult with
them, and will only consent to let them aid
her in carrying out whatever plans her hot
headed leaders may advise. t remains to
10 seen whether this dctatorial position will
be submitted to. We quote the Mercury's
article entire:
SOUTHERN CuNFEnENoE-7oo Late.-We
see it stated in the papers that, by the Leg
isature, which, we believe, is summoned to
meet in January, Virginia will propose a
meeting Of the southern States in conference.
This is the measure which South Carolir a pr =
posed to Virginia last winter. 1t was boot
ed down, and rejected as a disunion measure.
If this had been adopted an Abolitionist would
not, in all probability, have beer elected
President of the United States, and the sect
iona'ism Of the North might have been alarm.
ed. 1t was an exceedingly conservative
proposition, which Virginia was unable to
appreciate The times have now passed be-
yond it, Virginia may now CAL, but the
South will not answer. She is completely
| demoralizcd in the estimation Of the South;
and no other Southern State, intent Oh vim
dicatiug her rights and preserving her insti-
| tutions, would 60 into a conference with her.
She has placed the Union above the rights and
institutions Of the South, and will only seek
conference with the Southern States in or
order to bring them down to tho level Of her
fatal Union policy.
Virginia and the other frontier States may
rs well at once understand their position with
the Gotten States. They are not expected to
aid the Cotton States in protecting them
selves and redeeming their liberties. They
will practically aid the Northern States in at
tempting to obtain in the South an acqHeaence
in the rule OF Abolitonisrn at Washington
The Southern States however, will disregard
their counsils. They want no conference but
in the ConvenHon mhich i1iU assemble to frame
the Constitution and complete The organization
ofa Southern C0nfederacy. They intend to
secedc from the Union and construct Union
among themselves, and will be glad to find
Virginia aud other border Statss in council
with them after this great revolution. But
if these value their own dignity, or respect
our wishes let them keep aloof from us until
they are prepared to dissolve their connec-
lions with the present Union and to unite
their destiny with that Of the other Southern
Slater. If they will not be our friends, lei
them not be our enemies, by unsolicited and
undesred efforts under whatever amiable
prctcxt-of preserving an abolished Union,
to subject us to the sectional despotism ola
consolidated government under the control Of
of Abolitionists at Washington. The day for
new guarantees is gone. llencctorth we are
two peoples"

Road.

During the trial of the Railroad cases
last Court, the financial condition of the
Company, and the prospects of the road,
were given by one of the officers CONVEX
SAINT with its affairs. A. l. Russell Esq
the Secretary and Treasurer, under oath,
gave substantially the following state
ment.
The floating debt of the p. & c. r.
Co. which was $500, 900, has been re-
duced, within the last few years, to
10000 The Company has also paid
the Fayeitc Il. Il. Co. for the construc-
ton of shout mile of the main stem
above Connclsville, and is now building
the City division, from Port Perry to
Pittsburg. distance of 10 6 10 miles,
which will be ready this winter. The
Company have negotiated for the Rails
from the Cambria Iron Co. and they
are being delivered and laid. The COM
plcton of these 10 6 10 miles is the
first important requisite to the further
extentioa of the road Eastward. The
completion of the City division will make
in all paying and uninterrupted road
of 60 miles in length.
The work at the Sand Patch Tunnel,
with the approaches and the heavy sec
tons east Of it, cost the Company, the
sum of S21S, POS, IS. The Tunnel can
be completed in about the same time as
other heavy sections on the road, say
about year.
Arrangements have been made
WITH aud Baltimore had agreed, to re-
trio her one million mortgage, which she
holds for her million spent on the road
and permit the Company to raise by
mortgage or otherwise sufficient to COM
plete the road Negotiations are now
being made to raise this sum with show
of success. Mr.. Russell further stated
that with 60 miles of road completed
and stocked, the sum expended on the
Sand Patch Tunnel, and other heavy
sections, with the amount of subscrip-
tons not yet collected in, will be suffi =
cient basis, upon which fund can be
be raised to complete the entire road,
and he has hopes of seeing it put under
contract within a year from next spring.

the payment of interest on the Stock
paid in, was only temporary, and the
same was done by other Railroad com-
panies of the time Of the crisis. that
the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Rail
road Company is now in better and
more hourishing condition than either
the Fort Wayne or the Penna. Central
companies were at the same stage of
their history.
Mr.. Russell is gentleman of high
character and is favorably known here
is native of Bedford and was Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth under Gov
.Johnsons administration. He has no
stock or other interest in the Road, be-
sides being one of its officers and friends
and his testimony may we'll be looked
upon with interest by the many friends
of the road here. 1t is not often when
sworn testament, with an opportunity
of cross examination, can be had of the
fiuicul condition of cooperation. and
never from a more reliable and trust
worthy source than the foregoing.-Scm-

The Legislature.

We have seen a petition which is being pre-
sentsd to tho people Of tho State, calling up
on the Governor to call special meeting Of
the Legislature. A meeting hns also been
held in st Mary's county and committee
appointed having the same object in view
We have no doubt that when it is found
that an imperative necessity exists for such
a course the Governor will note be wanting
but until this necessity is made apparent
we hope the Governor will not yield to the SC
lictstions Of the Breckinridgers; tor they are,
the men who arc moving in the matter.
We had enough of tho legislation of tn,
men who compose the proseut Legisturs last
winter, to satisfy us that they had better not
DO called together again if It ia possible to
avoid such an evil No necessity exists for it
now. Mary land is true to the Union toths back
bone. She does not want and effort TO un'
settle her. Besides the Governor Of no other
border State has deemed it rs yet important;
10 call the legislature OF lis State together
with the exception of Mr.. Letcher ol Virgin
ia and this had been determined upon from
another consideration than that which moves
the Breckinridgers, and before the election
Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri have not
moved in that direction and Maryland can
well afford to wait and see what turn events
will take. After the meeting Of Congress
and prescn tation Of the Presidents message,
there may be Developments that should make it
necessary that tho Legislature may be called
together. Ifso the Governor win bs found

SOME mad caps in Baltimore have holsed
a Palmetto flag, and some few thoughiless
men in other portions Of our State avow their
sympathy with the secession movements OF
tho cotton States. On what principle this is
done We are at a loss to comprehend Ii the
star spangled banner has lost its virtue-if it
ia no longer the standard under which patrl-
OTIS can rally, is there not the standard Of our
own noble State, which has never trail be-
fore its enomies or been lowered In the pres
rnce Of tyrants7 What is there in the Pal
metto standard to attract attention, that pre-
ference should be given to it over that under
which the old Maryland line so CALAMITY
fought? Who can call to mind the bloody
scenes Of 70, when the tories of South Caro-
lima so unfortunately put to the sword the
patriots Of the Revolution and merciessly
burnt up their homes, and then talk Of en-
listing under its standard and sympathising
with its mad schemes Of disunion. No man
of MARY land birth, in whose veins flows the
blood Of Revolutionary sircs, can give his
counteusnce to the present doings Of the cot
ton States.
But why is it that the extreme South
crn States wish to Secede from the u
MON? The OILY reason that at present can
be urged IL tina. some Of the Northern States
have passed laws that obsttnct the enforce
ment Of the fugitive slave law. But these
laws have been on their statute books for
number Of years. II they are so obnoxious
as to Justify q dissolution Of the Union, why
10 it that thcre has been no movement like
that Of the present until this day We hes
itate not to say, that being without just cause,
this is adopted as tho pretext for the present
movement. The extreme South has boon
anxious for years to re-opan the slave trade
under the present government that cannot DO
done, but if they can erect Cotton State Re-
public, they can accomplish their purpose. -
Negroes can be imported from Africa at 800
each. BY such a process their laborers will
be greatly increased and by consequence they
themselves enriched. But it will impoverish
us. Our slave property will largely depre-
ciatc, and men who now count thci, thous-
ands will hardly be worth hundreds-hence
they don't want the border States to 60 with
them, for they fear that they would oppose
the opening Of the slave trade. The secret
of the secession movement is not the aggres-
sious of the North but desire to omen the
a irseG slave traffic.

alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the dis
eases named originate in Constipation, but

all these considerations it follows that the dis
