and established republican ones in their stead. In proof of which statement, 1 re- fer you to Greece, to Italy, to Mexico, t. South America and to France. Then 1 would ask, if we have extended our sym pathy and good will to people, on both sides of the Atlantic, in no way connected to us, shall we now refuse to extend that sympathy and good will, to men who but yesterday were one people with us, profess sing the same religion, speaking the same language-.yes more, men who are bound to us by the ties of consanguinity and affinity-men occupying a land whose bo- som contains the bones of many of our re- htions and anccs ors. 1 ask again, is there a man on this floor who is willing to record his vote, under the circumstances, against the Confederate States of the South? Do it and before the present sun shall hide his face behind our western hills, the tele- graphic wires will convey the news to tine black republican administration at Wash ington, now waivering in their counsels as to what course they will take towards the seeded States, that Arkansas, in her con- vention, has declared that the South is WlOnp-tllaC the seven clateS are SllII III the old Union. What we want is to avoid civil war Would such news be most likely to prevent or produce it?
 There was a time when we were proud of Mississippi and South Carolina. Turn back to the pages of the Mexican war, and the brightest passages found on those pages are the places where we find recorded the feats of the Palmetto regiment and the Missis- sippi rifles. It was their blood we gave in exchange for the golden sands of Califor- nia. But gentlemen tell us that we have not the authority or power to acknowledge their independence, that we arc yet "mem- Der of the old Union-that the federal go- vernment might do so, but we cannot. - From this opinion I dissent. The mem bers of this convention have taken no oath to support the constitution either of Ar kansas or of the United States. We are above both. We are the people ill their sovereign capacity, and being here in that capacity we have the right to adopt the re- solution. The resolution does not propose to form treaties, coin money, declare war or do any one of those things which the States granted away to the federal govern ment. l hope the resolution will not be rejected.

Important from Texas.

We extract from private letter, just received from Brazos San Diego, Texas, the following extract. The writer is a member of a military company, recently organized at Galvestion, for the purpose of assisting in the capture of the forts now occupied by the federal troops in that State. He says: "We arrived here on the 20th inst, Col. FORD being commander-in-chiet of our company. He is better known in the State as 'Old Rip,' and is said always to be in a bad humor unless he is engaged in fight He had scarcely gotten more than half way from the steamer to the bar racks, before he ordered the American flag to be pulled down and the lone star, to be raised in its place. But after sometime parlying he was persuaded by his brother officers to show the enemy, little more re- spect, and he accordingly gave them an hour to breathe. The United States flag was then struck in silence, no one seeming to exult over it. But when the lone star went up, long deafening shout came up from FoDD and his four hundred and fifty rangers.
 <" We have taken about fifty pieces of artillery, and will go over to the Rio Grande tomorrow for the purpose of at tacting the fort at Brownsville. They are aware of our intentions, and are said to be busy in making preparation to give us a warm reception. They have enc hun dred and forty field pieces and about three hundred and fifty soldiers. their position behind the fort giving them greatly the advantage We received a dispatch this evening, informing us that they intended to resist to the death.
 ''Our men are nearly all armed with q Minnie rife, six-shooter and cutlass You may look for interesting news by the next steamer"

 NEW YORK, March 1.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald says: Pc litical circles feverishly excited yesterday by report that the evacuation of Forts Sumter and Pickens was determined on by the cabinet Saturday night.

 Dates from Texas reported Col. Bachus, previously in command at Rio Grand City, was en route to Fort Brown to take com mand There were no State troops in Brownsville, bat detachment was hourly expected. The report of Col. Hills deter imitation to defend Fort Brown created great excitement along the Rio Grandc. = Large numbers of State troops were on the way to Brownsville and other companies were organizing A commissioner took possession of the custom house at Browns vile in the name of the State.
 RICHMOND, VA, March 1.-The ma iority report of the convention reaflirms the doctrine of State rights.

can only be administered by the will of the ge ye ed legitimately expressed.
 2d. That the domination of local and sectional majority tends to the despotic oppression of the minority, and is contrary to the spirit and genius of our government.
 Sd. That the inauguration of the present admin stration of the United States by vote of sec tional majority, is an indgnity to the southern States, grevious to be borne, and of which they justly complain.
 4th That any attempt on the part of the federal government to coerce seeding State by an armed force will be resisted by Arkansas to the last ex- tremity.
 6h That we solemnly protest against the quar- tering of United States troops in any of the forts arsenals dock yards i'll any the southern States for the purpose of coercing any of the States that have seeded from the federal Union, or for the purpose of preventing others from withdrawing from the same-without the consent of the State in which such forts, arsenas and dock yards, may be situated while the United States are at peace with other nations.
 9th. That the execution of the federal laws in the seeded States in the collection of revenues and duties by other means than the local and civil authorities the recapturng of the forts arsenaS and other property of the federal government in the seeded States by armed force would be coer- cion.
 Mir. Desha offered the following amend ment:
 Resolped, That we earnestly and respec tfully re monstrate against sister border States taking any part in any action on the part of the federal government tending towards a recapture or retak- ing of any of the forts arsenalS or dock yards in any of the seeded States, but earnestly hope that they will firmly maintain paciticatory course and use every patriotic and manly effort to bring about an honorable and amcable adjustment of our present difficulties and to restore peace and harmo ny to the country.
 Mr. Garland of Pulaski, moved the adop- tion of the report and amendment.
 Mr. Adams offered the following resolu- ton:
 ResolDed, That the State of Arkansas will take and hold possession of the arsenal at Little Rock, and will not permit any force of the United States to be quartered or placed therein.

rs- The remarks of MT. Grace in the discussion on Saturday last, we were ma ble to get in time for Mondays publication. It affords us pleasure to publish them to- day:
 Mir. GRACE. Mr. President, hope the resolution will not be rejected. It re- cognizes vital principle which underlies oar free institutions. It is the same in substance, though expressed in different words, as that principle we find in the Y" declaration of independence, and also again we find it is the declaration of reserv- ed rights, made by the people of this State, at the time they formed their State consti tuition. It is the principle which declares that when a government ceases to answer the ends for which it was instituted, the people have the right to alter abolish or reconstruct the same What gentleman on this floor is willing to deny the correct ness of this principle? 1 hope none.- Then if we all acknowledge the correctness of the principle, l feel certain we have the manliness to act upon 1t, provided the facts warrant. That seven of the cotton States have dissolved their connection with the federal government is known to us all and that they have inauguratcd provisional federal government, and clothed 1t with certain powers, we also know. Whether these seven States had sufficient causes for their action is not for us to inquire-we are not the umpire. An enlightened public opinion must pronounce the judgment The question for us is, have they altered their government, and have they construct ed another That they have every member here knows we'll. Did they have the right so to do? According to both the prece- dent and practice ofthe government, think they had.
 hold, Mir. President, that it has not only been the practice of our federal go- vernment, from it's earliest years, but that it is eminently proper and right, that it should have been the practice, to be among the first powers to step forward and ac- knowledge the independence of any people who had overturned tyrannical institutions
