Bay- The Tuscaloosa Ala. Monitor thus
sums up its objections to the proceedings
of the Alabama State Convention and of
the Southern Congress" at Montgomery:
1--WE hold, first, that the ordinance of
secession should have been submitted to
the people for their ratification or reicc-
ton: secondly, that the ordinance passed
by the Convention should have awaited
the issue of this decision: thirdly, that
the people had the right, and it should
have been given them, to have chosen the
delegates to a Congress which was to have
framed for them government for veal
or for woe. And we now demand that
the Government formed-its President,
Vice President, and officers-should be
submitted TO the people for their approx
al or disapproval. If it is not, we shall,
come veal or wo, attempt to fire the peo-
pies heart, to educate the peoples mind
to know their rights and to dare maintain
them. Wear no submissionist, but right
is right and wrong is wrong and we will
not betray our trust. We assert that the
people have a right to be heard, and, be-
ing heard, to be obeyed. And we intend
to keep them posted in what we consider
to be an infringement of their rights and
of their privileges. let the worst come to
the worst If it is treason against the
new Coniederacy, make the most of it,
We know we are right, and, untrammel-
cd and unawed, we will defend the right"

EFFrcrs OF The SECESSION News IN NEW
OrLEANs.-The New Orleans papers ol Tue
9th and 2sth are fall of the news OF the Sc
cesslon ordinance, and take it very cooIly -
The Delta is iubilant, but the Others are
calm and hopeful. The Picayune says oi 'ne
effect of the news
Nv hen the news that the secession ordl-
nance had been passed by the State CohVeh-
ton reached Us by telegraph yesterday the
effect, as might have been expected was
such as to suspend all thoughts OF other mat
ters, to concentrate the public mind on the
one solemn event which changed the destl-
nies Of Louisiana.
"The church bells proclaimed the fact in
vibrating tones, whilst the deep voice OF the
canton announced it even more loudly
From public edifices, hotels and private
buildings, the Pelican flag was hoisted ana
displayed its ample folds to the breeze. In
the streets people met in groups ehqulrlnS
about the news and exchang congratulations
or comments upon the important step taken
by the people Of Louisiana. Evening paper
were anxiously sought after, and for the bal
ance of the day the novel feeling OF having
suddenly changed citizenship, was the al
absorbing topic of conversation.
''Thcre was no extraordinary excitement
or iubilation, nor was there CONSERVATION on
fear; there was the satisfaction naturally fell
at being relieved from state OF suspense al
the same tine that there was full sense o
the importance of the solemn act just con
summated mot the hasly AMI rash actloI
of unthiuking enthusiasts, but the resolve t'
which, after mature reflection, the peopl'
have been forced by stern necessity; an ac
of self preservation, in performing which al
regrets must be hu-hed and the heart Orace'

STATE REFORM ScHooL--The Express thinks
that the petition for a change in the law, es-
tabishing State Reform School, may be all
right but adds, that, "before the Legislature
takes any steps in the matter, it would be
nothing more than right, for that body to in
qure whether or not it is really necessary to
make the proposed alteration in the law.
OF course, nothing would be more proper,
and we presume the Legislature will do no
less thing than to make that very inquiry.
But, the Express proposes to have the lndu
nv made through n Committee appointed iof
the purpose. 1t would depend very much on
what kind ola Committee it was, whether
the report were favorable or not TO the pres
ent law. We should regret to see mere
partisan decision by some prejndiced Com
mittee in favor Of this or that candidate for a
Trusteeship.
So far as we are concerned, we are not OPP
posed to any plan that the Express or any
body else may PROPOSE which is at all rea-
sonable, and which will secure the sole Oh
iect which we have in view, and that Is to
have the institution 90 on in its progress TO
n speedy establishment. We like the plan
and specifications, under which Mr. steele
has taken his contract, and If that contract
can be carried out, we are more than satisfied.
But, it should be remembered that the
propcling cause of the movement to have
the law changed is in the fact that the Gov
ernor in his message condemned the action OF
the Trustees or inferentially did so, and it is
necessary, TO the success of the institution
that those objections should be obyiated for
the reason that, ifthe Governor withhold his
consent TO appropriations in favor of the
School, such appropriations cannot be made.
Any attempt TO get up partisan feeling
about the matter is unworthy OF the time

tee, and whether there be three, two or five,
30 the Reform School goes on and is a successF
The citizens of Yuba county should cooperate
in an effort TO obtain favorable legislation to

about the petty question of this or that mans

ANDERsoN's FoRBEARANCE.-A great many
anecdotes and incidents are related as con-
nected with the affair of the Star of the West
At the time that steamer went to Charleston
Major Ripley was in command of Fort Moul.
tre The universal expectation was that
when Morris Island battery fired on the
steamer, Fort Sumter would open on Fort
Moultrie, especially if the latter fired a shot
Major Ripley's men seeing the firing from
Morris Island, and comprehending the whole
matter, became clamorous for the privilege
of having q shot at the Star of the West.
Sumters port holes had been opened to eye
shot of Ripley's men, and sighted with the
most perfect engineering skill. They knew
it, but the opportunity was not to be lost.
"Well, says Ripley, jumping on the parapet,
fire away boys, but you will all be in h-ll
in less than five minutes" They did fire ::
but Major Andersons forbearance defeated
the yerifcation Of the prophecy,

TIE Golden Era on Caxton :


Mr. CaXton after telling that Daniel Web
ster didn't want to see, we must look upon
without flinching fguratively remarks "The
veil which Heaven interposed between his
eyes and Disunion has been lifted from ours
and we stand naked in the mighty presence
of the spectre"
1t is to be regretted that this remarkable
figure is rather vague and unsatisfactory.
We may conceive how the veil interposed
between Daniel Webster's eyes and Disunion
could be lifted from ours, if it were only
long enough but when the lifting Of that
veil causes us to stand naked in the presence
of the spectre, the idea becomes Inconsistent
with any reasonable style of clothing We
must deny Mr. Cations right to deprive us
of our things because in the frenzed contem-
pation Of the spectre he may choose to dis
enrobe himself-a circumstance which, con-
sdering the eyes of our Eastern brethren are
to be turned upon us at this crisis should be
sedulously avoided

Is GENERAL DENVER "RuDE RorER?'-Sev
era parties have said, "Is it possible tina
Gen Denver wrote the Rube Roper letters
are YOU certnn there can be no mistake
about this? Surely, man protesting to be-

sition in the party Gen. Denver then did

And if it be not convenient to interrogatc
the General on that point, read the extracts
from those letters published on the first page
of to DAYS Bee, and consider whether they
do not bear internal evidence of the strong
est kind, that the General wrote them. Who
but himself could thus speak Of circumstances
which his "delicacy" and "modesty" never
permitted him to allude to? Who but the
General could thus particularly describe his
own GOODNESS and wonderful bravery brave
ry the like Of which had not been known
since the days of Jackson? o yes, the Gen
eral wrote them. We have external and in
ternal evidence OF that.-Sac. Bee.
The Bee alludes, we presume TO the kill
ing of Gilbert in duel (Which was a fair
fight, nevertheles) originating, we believe,
in the circumstance that Gilbert, who WELD
ed a caustic pen, ridiculed Bigler, although
in a polished style. The duel was well
enough, but if Rube Roper is Denver, and
Rube Roper praised Denver for his Goodness
and wonderful bravery" it is hardly the thing.
Sell laudation does not generally set well, in
the judgment the community at large. We
think the Bee has gone so far that it is called
upon to proge that Denver is "Rube Roper"

a GEORGIAN on Gen. Gen. Scott and al
Irshman on a Georgian

A GEORGIAN ON Gen. Gen. Scott, and an
Irishman on Georgian:
Mr.. Sorrell rose to a question of privilege
to call the attention of the House to a
statement in an obscure publication in this
city, perhaps known TO a few for its misrep-
resentations-and of which, he said, that it
was called the "Daily News" and that it was
published every morning Monday excepted,
at twenty-five cents per week Laughter |
The statement was, that at a Douglas caucus
he (Mr SorreD spoke in favor of Il recess of
fifteen minutes. If any further evidence of
his insanity, besides that found by the gen
tleman from FL Dorado (Alr Conuess,) was
wanting, that statement would have clinched
it. But it was not true and he trusted that
he might never be in Il caucus with the gen
tleman from El Dorado If he had been
there instead of speaking for the re-
cess, he should have done what the Douglas
party themselves subsequently agreed to-a
recess for an definite period. They had Ia
ken n recess, and he did not think they would
ever again be convened.
Mr.. Conness said it was unnecessary for
the gentleman from Siskiyou (Mr Sorre) to
rise to a question of privilege on such a sub
ject. The people Of California would never
be convinced by any mere newspaper state
ment thata gentleman capable of introducing
a resolution condemning General Scott could
ever be found member of Douglas caucus
[Applause.
The Sacramento News, as might be expect
ed, gives the Sorrel horse pretty good cur
rying.
