south CaroIina's Response to virginia.

south Cardinals Response TO Virginia
The following resolutions contain the response Of
South Carolina to the action Of Virginia appoint
ing Judge Robertson Commissioner to that State,
with instructions to initiate negotiations for an ad-
justment Of the sectional difficulty and recon
structiOn of the Union. The resolutions we're unan
mously passed by both brsnshss Of the Legislature:
Resolusd, unanimously, That the General Assem-
bly, Of South Carolina tenders to the Legislature OF
Virginia their Acknowledgements Of the friendly
motives which have inspired the mission entrusted
to the Hon Judge ROBERTSON, her Commissioner.
Re oEved, unanimously, That the csuGor which is
due to the long continued sympathy and respect
which has subsisted between Virginia and South
Carolina, induces this GsnerSl Assembly to declare
with frankness, that they do not deem It advisable
TO initiate negotiations, when they have nc desire
or intention promote the ultimate object in view;
that object is declared in the resolutions Of the
Legislature 10 be the procurement Of new gusran-
tees to the Constitution of the United States.
ResolUed unanimously, That tie separation Of the
State of South Carolina froIa TIE Federal Union is
final and she has no further interest IN the Coasti
tuition of the United States; and that the oply ap-
propriate negotiations between her and the FEEDER
al Government are as to mutual relations as foreign
States.
Resolvsd unanrmopsly, that this General Assem-
bly further owes it 70 her friendly relstions with
The State of Virginia to declare that they have no
confidence in the Federal Government Of the Uni
ted States: that the most solemn pledges Of that
| Government have been disregarded; that, under
pretence Of preserving property, hostile troops
have been attempted to be introduced lRto one OF
the fertresses Of this State, concealed in the hold
of a vessel of commerce. vita q view to su6jugate
the people of this State, and that even since the
authorities at Washington have been Informed
| of the present mediation of Virginia, vessel OF
war has been sent to the South with troops and md
nitions of war, concentrating on the soil of Vir-
ginis.
Resolved, unanimously That under these circum-
stances this General Assembly, with renewed assn
RANGES of their cordial respect and esteem for the
people Of Virginia, and Of high consideration for
the Commissioners whom they have sent, declines
entering into the proposed negotiations
The question was taken, sRd the resolution were
adopted unanimously.

The Washington Convention.

The New York Herald, in its issue of the 9th,
takes the following view of the Conference or Con-
vention now in session at Washington:
The question recurs, will this Border State Con-
vention be able to patch up compromise that will
arrest the secession movement in Virginia and the
other border slave States? The Virginia Commits
sioners will require compromise which shall sp-
ply to Territories TO be acquired. So il is also
with Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ten
uessee. Arkansas, and Missouri. But we have no
hope Of any satisfactory agreement in this Wash
ington Convention upon this proposition. The Dor
der slave States may agree to it; but the border
free States so far as the Republican party may be
concerned will reject it : and SO we conjecture that
the abors of this Convention, like the labors OF the
House COMMITTEES Of Thirty-three and Of the Senate
Committee Of Thirteen, will end in smoke.
We are not aware that single prominent mem
Der of the Republican party has indicated the
slightest disposition in view of any extremity, to
relinouish The South in advance, for the sake Of the
Union, any Territory below Texns, or IN the
Gulf of Mexico, which we may hereafter acquire.
Mr. Charles FrancisAdams, in his late conservative
speech in the House of Representatives, very en-
phatically argued not only the absurdity, but the
crimiuality, of any Southern demand of this nature
Il is morally certain then, that no such concession
will be reEohed by this Border State Convention;
and we shall be agTeeably surprised # any such
proposition shall receive the vote Of even solitary
Republican Commissioner.
We think It most probable that this Washington
Convention, like the House Committee Of Thirty
three, will dissolve into two or three detsohments
and two or three reports, and that they will be
hung ND to dry in Congress. The Virginia Conven-
ton thus reduced to Mr. Stewards plan of waiting
one, two, or three years for % nuw constitutional
convention, will be very apt to swing over into the
Southern Confederacy, preferring the union OF the
SoBtb. at AL hazards, to q division Of the South,
subject to the DISCRETION of the Republican party
with Republican, administration in possession Of
the Government.
We conclude, therefore. that the adjournment OF
this Washington Border State Convention will be
the signal not for general reaction in favor Of the
Union, but for the secession Of the border slave
States, beginning with the Old Dominion. The Re-
publican party appears to be shaping It's pohcy 10
the contingency of Southern Confederacy, and to
the only reGsiSing alternative of peace or war.
Failing to accomplish anything then, for the Union,
let us hope that this Washington ConventiOnmay DO
much for the cause of peace.
