have enough amour prapre to reject the
odious appcllation.
A BnILLIAST lpEA.-As the sun some
times breaks through tho darkest clouds
and floods the land with u blaze of light
so does ii sometimes happen, that great
minds, will often, in the darkest hour OF
their cGmtry's peril, illumino the cireum-
ambient gloom, Witness the following
scintillation from Mr.. Elicit, the non rest
dent member from Wise;
Mr.. Elicit offered the following
resolution:
ReSolUcd, That we unhesitatingly
repudiatc and dcnounce the idea OF
any number Of counties through tho
agency Of the State Convention, or
otherwise, have any constitutional
authority to coerco any county or
counties after they have dissolved
their connection with the said Gov
ernmnnt, and that any attempt on
the part of the State Convention to
use force against Il seeding county
or counties, is a tyranous usurpation
of power, striking the heart of the
existence of the sovereignty OF the
people, rendering to our suhjugation
and conquest, and will be resisted
at all hazards and to the last eN-
tremity' w, p..1.,, u,o
resolution was rejected by n vote Of

Fellow members, we nave oeeil
convened under most eA'faoralhary
circumstances. IEe Tune mas arrlT-
ed when it becomes necessary TO
consider change OF government,
This necessity has not Dcen caused
by us or our sectlon' but II mas Deen
forced upon us by sectional party
in the Government, and on them
must fall the consequences. They
have torn and mangled that constl-
tuition and Government given to us
by our revolutionary fathers, and it
now lies bleeding at their unholy
feet. A religious tanaticism has
brought about the present state OF
things, and we are now to consider
the remedy. True it is that we, as
alegislative assembly, cannot change
the organic law~of the State; but it
is our duty to recommend to the
people course OF action, who alone
can change, alter OF amend me or
ganic law. And gentlemen, thls Is
a most important trust. ana oho
that we should well consider pelpr,
taking action. we Shouiu io' n ie'
the excitement around us geV 'llo "
per hand OF our better judgment
