The object is to rfame the Legislature and hurry
the State out of the Union. On Tuesday last anoth-
er rumor was current on our streets, to the effect
that Mr.. Crittenden's propositions had been voted
down in the Senate on Monday. The papers reeeio-
ed Tuesday euening sheso that no cote Of any lind
soas had on Mr.. Crittendens on Monday
1t seems that in the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. Big
Ter advocated Mr.. Crttendens propositions and that
Mr.. Cameron, black Republican, followed Mr. Big
Ter and said that he Z" endorsed his remarks, and
would go even farther than Mr.. Bigler had gone to
save the Union" This fact was not reported as tel
egraphed on Monday. The ire-eaters have no use
for such facts They tend to arrest instead Of hast

Mr.. Wilson issued the first number of the Daily
i'd Falorem Banner on Thursday morning last
1t printed in very neat STYLE and is filled with
spicy, interesting, and useful matter. Mr. Wilson
has had much experience in the chair EDITORIAL and
wields vigorous and able pen.
The Banner has hoisted the name of Stephen A.
Douglas for President in 1864, subject to the voice
of the people Of the United States. 1t is also de-
voted to the Union according to the Constitution,
and is in favor of exhausting all honorable means to
settle existing difficulties before encountering the
eyls of disunion and revolution. 1t is also devoted
to the principle Of ad ealorem in State taxation,
but the Editor says @ ..-... ,s.,.. - =
1--WE do not expect to have much to say, at pre-
SENT the al palorem question. Matters Of greater
magnitude are now pending When they are dis
posed Of and at the proper time, we shall give our
attention to State issues Let us save the country
first, and then regulate its internal affair" !"
The Daily Banner is issued at $5 per snnum, in
advance the Weekly, which is the size of the Star

Debate in the Senate.

We happened to be in the Senate chamber yes
terday in time to hear interesting debate between
Mr.. Avery, Col. Brown, and Gen. Doekery. We
regret that we were not in time to hear the remarks
Of Col. Outlaw
Mr.. Avery made one of his "no hope" speeches.
He colored all the evils in the Union, but spoke of
of the evils to be encountered out Of it. He was
ready for immediate secession-said the Union was
already dissolved-that he had had no hope since
the Charleston Convention. &c. He said also that
he believed that if the State should secede all her
sons would stand by her, not excepting eren the
Senator from Richmond.
Mr.. Avery presented his points strongly, but they
were all on one side and ultra disunion.
Col. Brown followed in reply, in his best style
lie met Mr.. Avery at every point. He stated,
among other things that even at Baltimore he was
assured by the chairman of the New York delega-
ton that if North Carolina would not withdraw the
Tennessee resolution, guaranteeing all the South
asked, would be passed He, Col B., had with
drawn with others because of the refusal to admit
certain Southern delegations-not because he had
lost all hope of justice at the hands Of the Northern
Democracy. Col. B. showed that the great error,
which led to the disruption Of the party and the
election of Lincoln, was committed at Charleston by
the seven cotton States seeding from the Cenven-
ton, and retusing to return after they had been
sured that the Tennessee resolution scouM be passed.
Col. B. appealed for time in behalf Of those noble
hearted conservatives in the North who are laborng
to settle the slavery question terms just towards
the South; and he believed that Virginia would not
act precepitatey, but would exhaust all honorable
means the Union to preserve and reconstruct the
Union.
Our opinion is that Mr. Avery lost hope at Char
lesion because he went there Yanceyized or became
so after he got there We believe he was ready and
willing to secede at Charleston-and we believe he
would have resorted to almost any political move
ment before he would have supported Judge Doug
| las.
Mr.. Averys alusion to Gen. Dockery brought
that gentleman to his feet He defined his position
and delivered strong Union speech. He said he
had said he had alluded to him in the manner men-
toned, because he regarded him as the strongest
! Union man in the Senate. He wanted that fact to
| 60 down as legacy to his children. Mr.. Avery
propounded some questions to the General about the
rights and duties Of the general government in the
seeded States, which Gen. D. answered, and for
some time there was "running fire" of questions
ard answers, the Senator from Burke evidently
coming off "second best" He caught Tartar :"
that time. The best humor prevailed in the Senate

AFRAID OF TIE PEoPLE-lt is = most notable fact,
that not one the five States that have seeded has al
lowed the people to vote upon the question of rati
ficaton or rejection of the ordinance Of secession
Fay. Obseroer.
The disunionists in this State attempted the same
thing but abandoned it from fear of the people. If
Convention should be called, many of these very
disunonists will 60 before the people and ask them
for their votes on tho ground that the best way to
save the Union is to destroy it!
We are gratified to state that both the demands
we made in the name Of the people have been com
piled with: ~,. -.a
1st. The majority provision has been abandoned
and the Convention will be called by two-thirds Of
both branches of the General Assembly.
3D. The action of the Convention will he submit
ted to the people for their ratification rejection.
The disunionsts dislike and denounce US, be-.
cause, s,euking in The name of the people, We reqnr
ed them to come to the above positions. Let them
