rGA. Gov. Harris Message is too long for our
space this week, but we will lay it before our rca-
ders in the next issue It is devoted mainly to our
sectional difficulties, aud expresses the fear that it
is now too late for settlement ami that before the
adjournment of the Legislature, the question for
Tennessee to decide will be whether she will 80
with the South or the North, The Governor dis
ousses briefly, our financial troubles, and though
disappearing of Bank suspensions generally and OF
relief laws, intmates that he will not oppose the
action Of the Legislature on either point. He also
advocates the call Of State Convention. Tho doc
umeut is very well written, AMI Gthoush we do not
endorse all its sentiments, we have no disposition to
take issue with him upon points Partakus more Of
the abstract than the practical,

He was in secret conference with the Governor and

The people are greatly excited. There was no de-

A FEW DAYS MORE PATIENCE.

Recent adviees indicate that the secession
tide in 1" the Border States " is beginning to
ebb 1t has been unnaturally stimulated by
ambitious and willy leaders, mainly for the pur-
pose Of frightening the Free States, and extort-
ing hurailiating concessions and compromises
from their Senators and Representatives in
Congress. When they find that this game of
bluff proves Intellectual, and that talking seces-
sion and treason Is far more easy and safe than
committing the overt act, reason will resume
its sway and the storm viii wholly blow over
or expend its force in fitful gusts IF the
North, in and out Of Congress, will keep cool
and stand firm twenty or thirty days longer,
the Border States will leave the Cotton States
to ''play it alone" 1t is evident that Virginia
is disposed to look before she leaps into the
dark chasm Of disunion. North Carolina holds
back from the brink of the precipice; while
Maryland, kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri,
can hardly be said to have taken any decisive
steps toward it. Let the Senators and Repre-
sentatives Of the Free States maintain g mas
terly inactivity" and all will yet be welL-N
r Tribune.
Yes, Mr.. Greeley, and while the few more
days" of mastery inactivity" are rolling
around the border States will go out. North
Carolina and Virginia will go; do you hear
Mr. Greeley? They wanted to stay in but the
thieving party which you lead would not let
them, and so they are preparing to go out, and
will be out before the 18th of March.

The States and Jaion, Was tfngton City,
gives up the Union as lost. In the Mondays
issue of that paper we find the following:
THE TRUE CONDITION.
It is now very generally admitted that the
American Unon is hopelossly sundered Phi
lanthropists and patriots have in vain been
looking to find some CLEAN Of hope amid the
dark clouds which appal the nation. No SEN
timent or feeling Of nationality has developed
itself of a magnitude and Importance sufficient
to impart the slightest ray Of promise to the
people of the land AntagonStic views bit
ter ordinations and recrilninations, totally re-
gardless of the wishes and happiness of inter
ested millions, have precluded all hope of
concession and adjustment and we now stand
before the world dismemheted and disinteg
rated country, the scof and ridicule of every
foreign government Fanaticsm and dema-
goguism having consumated their cherished and
wicked purpose now strut about with all ting
proud air of safety and malignitv, glorvir!y
over the stupendous and irrcparab.e mischief
of their act.
The proudest temple ever erected and CON
secrated to the cause of liberty has bFrn now
ruthlessly and sacriligiouSlv deiileI and de-
stroyed-a structure founded and erected by
band of noble men, whose patriotism and
wisdom have emba1med their memories in the
hearts and affections of every true man OF CT
ery generation that has succeeded them, now
presents the humilatng and horrible aspect of
a once proud and powerful country rent as
sunder by internal feuds ard fratricdalEdsscn-
sions and strife. Those who have banded to-
gether to accomplish this reckless work of de-
molition, will most assurdly be held to an aw
| full responsibility by historians. The day will
come when the authors of this diabolical mis-
chief will cover and withcr beneath the frowns
| of an nf1rated people-will shrink away self
condemned from their indignant gaze.
| A brave and true people cannot long sub
NIT to a persistent wrong; the day trust,
will soon come when they will rally as one
man and hurl from position all those who Seem
intent on kindling the fires Of cival war, and
reorganize our glorious Union again as an en-
tirety upon such solid and eternal basis as
will forever defy the intcrlncddling and dan
gerous influence of political deD'agoguism
In every town, village and hamlet through
out the length and breadth of the land, there
should spring up spirit Of vigiant, active
firm constitutional devotion which should
sweep like an avalanche every vestlgc OF sec
tionalism and treason from the land We have
again inaugurated the times that try men s
souls. We are doom cd TO stand by and sec
our glorious Union, the work Of our rcvolu-
tionary sires and the source Of all our power
and happiness, inundated upon the altar Of
rank partisanship and political demagoguism.

| SCENE AT PHILADELPHIA MISSIONARY
MEErING.-The Philadelphia Bulletin, of Mon

SCENE AT PHILADELPHIA MISSIONARY
MEErING-The Philadelphia Bulletin, Of Mon
day, says:
A singular scene was enacted last evening
at the Green-street NJ. E. Church. The regu-
lar annual collection in aid of the funds of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church was being taken up, and number of
prominent members of the church had been
elected life members, the amount necessary
for that purpose having been subscribed FL
naliy, a gentleman arose in the gallery, and
after speaking of the proper association of pie
ty and patriotism he stated that the members
of the choir contributed $40 for the purpose of
making the gallant Major Anderson life mem
Der of the Missionary Society. This announce
ment caused a sensation which had subsided
when the same gentleman again rose, and sta
ted the ladies of the choir desired to contribute
$40 to make Mrs. Major Anderson member
Of the Society. He afterwards stated that the
choir would give like amount to make Lieu.
tenant General Winfield Scott life member
and subsequently, he said, that as Mr.. Buchan-
an had lately given evidence of disposition to
do his duty to the Constitution and the Union
they would also contribute the amount neces
sary to create him life member.
The feeling thus started in the choir now
extended to the body of the church. One Ia
dy began a subscription to make Gov. Hicks
of Maryland, life member; another contribu
ted towards the amount necessary to make
President Lincoln member and gentleman
in the congregation proposed the same compl
ment to Hon. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia w..

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Richmond journals of Saturday last
bring US report of the proceedings of the
House of Delegates of Virginia had on Friday,
l1th, upon the bill calling Convention of the
People. We quote from these proceedings as
follows:
Mr. WATTS having moved an amendment to
the bill providing that any action of the Con-
yeption should lie submitted to the people for
ratification
Mr.. KEEN offered the following as a substi-
tute:
At the same time the said Commissioners
shall open a separate poll to take the sense OF
the qualified voters as to whether any action
of the said Convention dissolving our connex-
ion with the Federal Union or changing the or
ganic law of the State shall be submitted to
the people for their ratification or rejection !;
and, in order to ascertain the sense OF the vo-
ters upon the question aforesaid, the said Off
GERS shall cause to be kept poll, to be head
ed upon the question ofreferring such action
to the people for their decsion,' which said poll
book shall have two coluns one headed for RET
erence to the people, and the other against
reference to the people, and the names OF those
who vote for the former shall be written I'M
der the former heading, and those who vote tor
the latter under the latter heading. When
the said officers meet as aforesaid they snail
ascertain and make return of the number OF
persons voting for each of the propositions
They shall forthwith send to the clerks OF their
respective counties or corporations copy
of the same, whose duty it shall be to transmit
Immediately copy thereof to the President OF
the Convention at Richmond, and also to the
Governor of the Commonwealth"
The amendment was adopted, and the bill,
as amended has finally passed both Houses OF
the legislature
