Ogilvie Byron Young.

+ VIC GolH vi Jduudry, Wnen IHe news was Ie-
ceived that the Louisiana Convention had
passed the Secession Ordinance. He says
the news was received with the widest
demonstrations of apparent joy and acca-
nation. While write, banners are waving,
emblazoned with the Pelican and the Lone
Slar-cannon are firing, rockets are blazing,
and the entire city is in a brilliant halo OF
illumination. And adds:
An immense crowd of the "hoi polIoi -
gathered from every quarter of the city, are
collected on the corners of ST Charles and
Canal streets, where that pild, mad satanic,
but brilliant Ogivie Byron Young,of Missis-
sippi is delivering one of his heit-bo1a in
ternoS at the very base Of the monument of
that patriot, Henry Clay, who SO much re-
vered, and twice saved the Union, which
these diaboical fends have now destroyed.
\ es, here, in the very presence of the statue
of Andrew Jackson, who said, the Union
must and shall he preserved" this man,
Nero-like, is chuckling over its downfall, and
singing peans of joy over its mangled and
bleeding fragments | would to God Clay
and Jackson were now alive, such traitors
and disturbers of the public peace would be
hung quicker and higher than Arburthnot
and Amt rlster were.
Aa sit here, listening to the mad appeals
and burning, pjngcd vorRs of tile helL-in-
inspired orator, and the obstreperous APP
plause of his deluded auditors, | cannot re-
frain from likening the scene to the Reign of
Terror in Paris, and that man, Young to
the butcher, Robcspierre, whom he SO much
resembles in assimilation, and fair, we'll

ing the Marseilles and the Scottish anthemn
the virus-similitude becomes more and MOI
striking. 1t is well for mankind that God
in cndowing this man so richly, far better
purposes, wisely and mercifully withheld one
great lever Of mischief from him. To an
exalted INTELLECT might say-genius, he
has united the most commanding and beau-
tiful person | ever saw but he has no mo-
ney had this been added, there is no calcu-
lalng the atrocity of his crimes, aud the end
of his miSchievous career lie has announced
his intention to leave here tomorrow morn
ing on the six o'clock train for Missouri
where he intends presenting himself before
the people of Mississippi county, as the "out
and ont secession candidate for n seat in
the Missouri Convention, on the 18th of Feb
ruary. If the good people of Missouri want
to avoid Il fre-braul, they will certainly be
wise in keeping this restless raiiiag Irhersites
out of their counsels. The Convention could
be cursed with no greater calamity than the
intliction of Ogivie Byron Young.
twithstaudiug this wild display Il d tu-
multuo1s demonstration, there is a very large
and respectable portion OF the citizens OF
New Orleans, and IA very large number of
the sugar planters throughout the State, who
are yet strong Union men, and who are not

Business is exceedingly dull, though the
streets are as thronged and gay as usual.
Money matters are as tight as the shirt of

a dollar beyond the net proceeds of their
crops
DEBATE BETWEEN SENATORS DovGLAs, WIG
FALL AND Mason oN SEsEssIoM-In the Uni
ted states Senate, March 7th, on motion to
print the Inaugural Address, Wiglall gave
his construction of its meaning, which differ
cd from that of Douglas lie referred to the
! }
Confcdcracy were here to be reeeved-
Waving all questions of regularity as to the
existence of their Government, they are here
to enter into IA treaty with the Federal Gov
ernment, and the matters of controversy
must be settled either 10y treaty or 10y the
sword. 1t is useless to talk about enforcing
the laws, and holding and occupying and
possessing the forts When vou come to
this hayoncts and not words must settle the
question: aud he would say that Forts Pick
ems and Sumter cannot bc held much longer.
Forts Moultrie and Johnston, and Castle
Pickntv, are in the possession OF the Confed-
crate States, and the Confederate States will
not leave Fort Sumter in the hands of the
Federal Government In reply to Douglas,
he denied that the Union, as it was formerly,
now existed legally and coustituionally.-
The adoption of the Crittenden proposition,
he said, miGht have adjusted the difficulties;
but it received only nineteen votes. Now
the seceeded states would never come back
under any circumstances. They will not
live under this Administration. Withdraw
your troops, then; make no attempt to col
lect tribute, and enter into a treaty with
these States. DO this and you Will have
peace, Send your flag of thrty-iour stars
thither, and it will be fired into and war will
ensue lie continued at some length, urging
IL division Of property and IL treaty of amity
between the two Governments.
Douglas replied in substantially the same
terms as yesterday. lie feared Forts Sum
ter and Pickens could not be held much long
er by Federal troops There was a time
when Fort Sumter could have been reinforce
ed. He did not believe it could be now,
without the use of ten thousand man 10y land
and sea. There were but few men to serve
the guns, and they must soon be exhausted
and they had not bread and salt enough to
last thirty days. There must be prompt ac-
ton in favor Of peace.
Wiglall asked if Mr.. Douglas would advise
the withdrawal of troops from Sumter and
Pickens, from the borders of the Confederate
states and that no attempt be made to col
l2ct the revenue.
Douglas replied that he was not in the
COUNCILS or confidence of the Administration,
and should not tender his advice till asked,
for whenever the Administration wanted ad-
vice it would doubtless ask for it, 1t would
hardly be the part of wisdom to state what
his policy might be to one who may 50 soon
be in the councils of the enery and COM
mander OF the army. In reply to a remark
of Wigfall, Douglas said he saw no reason to
modify any sentiment in his Norfolk speech
After further debate, Mason spoke against
the Inaugural as proclamation of war Nir-
gnia would become party to the war 10y
the unanimous consent of her people when
the first GUN was fired against seceediDg

Mr. Douglas spoke further TO the effect that
if the Administration anticipated the use of
arms we shall see a proclamation for AZ ira
