afterwards Judge Of the supreme court Of
Ohio, and for many years the editor Of the
Cincinnati Gazette.
The California House of Representatives
has adopted resolution expunging the vote
of censure against the late Senator Broder-
lex. passed by a former Legislature, for OPP
posing the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton constitution. Numerous resolu-'
lions have been introduced in the Legisla-
ture, urging concession by the northern
States, though not favoring or excusing Sc
cessi0n.
1t is thought that the resolution of the
Southern Congress, taking charge itself Of all
questions Of difference between the United
States and the seeding States. in reference
to the arsenals, dock yards, &c., will prevent
any present or immediate collision in the har-
Dor Of Charleston.
A messenger from Hunter county reports
that the winter in the southwestern part Of
Kansas has been the worst ever experienced
there. The snow is eighteen inches deep,
and the cold intense. Cattle and horses are
dying rapidly, and the people subsist only
on buffalo meat.
The Montgomery convention has passed
an act continuing in Office the United States
revenue officers till April |, and instructing
the secretary Of the treasury to report a
plan, to 20 into effect on the LIST Of April,
reducing at least fifty per cent. the cost Of
collecting the revenue.
The army sunnIies recently seized NJ Ma
poleon, Arkansas, are worth between eight
and nine thousand dollars, and consist Of
one hundred and thirty boxes, containing
small-arms and ordnance stores destined for
the troops on the frontiers Of Texas and Ar

Indian incursions.
On Tuesday, the grand jury in Richmond,
Virginia, took measures to prevent the cir

A majority Of the joint committee Of the
Massachusetts Legislature have resolved to
report declaratory act to exclude any con-
struction Of the personal liberty laws Of the
State which shall contrayene the Constitu-
ton or laws Of the United States.
The Wisconsin Legislature, "inspired by
such examples Of patriotism as are furnished
by the States Of Kentucky and Maryland,
and "ready at all times TO meet fraternal
advances in the spirit they are made" have
without dissent instructed the judiciary com
mittee to revise the personal liberty laws OF
the State so as make them in all things con-
form to the Constitution OF the United States.

THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY.

The constitution OF the provisional gov
eminent of the southern confederacy has
been made public. The preamble provides
that said government shall continue one year
from the Inauguration Of the President. or
until the formation Of permanent confedera-
ton. The constitution is almost identical
with that Of the United States, with the ex-
ception Of the following provisions:
"The importation Of African negroes from
any foreign country other than the slavehold-
ing States Of the United States is hereby
forbidden. and Congress is required to pass
such laws as shall effectually prevent the
same.
congress shall also have power 10 pro-
hibit the introduction Of slaves from any
State not member Of this confederacy.
"a slave in one State escaping to another
shall be delivered up on claim OF the party
to whom said slave may belong, by the exc
cutiye authority Of the State in which such
slave may be found; aud in case Of any alb.
duction or forcible rescue, full compensation,
including the value Of the slave and costs
and expenses. shall be made to the party by
the State in which such abduction or rescue
shall take place.
The government hereby instituted shall
take immediate steps for settlement Of all
matters between the States forming i and
their other late confederates OF the United
States Of North America, in relation to the
public debt at the time Of their withdrawal

On Saturday. the convention unanimously
elected Hon. Jefferson Davis President, and
Hon. A. II. Stephens Vice President.
The convention passed an ordinance con-

the southern congress. all laws Of the United
States in force or use up to the lst Of No
yember last. II is understood that tariff
will be imposed on all goods iron the United

instructed to report promptly tariff for rais'

THE FEELING.

The following extract from letter to one
of our citizens, written by Professor IN one
Of the most prominent Northern Colleges,
shows how the educated and thinking men
there, who are warm friends Of the South,
regard our present movements. This letter
comes from the most conservative OF the
Northern States, aud may be considered a
fair indication Of the public opinion Of her
most intelligent citizens:
The course Of the South, outside Of
South Carolina, has taken Us by surprise. |
refer to the fact that any considerable pOr-
ton of the South seriously look TO secession
as affording redress Tor alleged grievances.
Il does not extend slavery over foot Of ter
ritory. II does not stop the mouth Of sin.
Gle abolitionist. II only precipitates all the
evils from which the South profess to be
seeking relief.
30 Us here whose sympathies are so large
~ with the South. it appears like suicide,
and when we see your people deliberately
committing the very act for which your Bit
terest enemies at the North have been for
years labOring and praying-whcn you do
this for reasons which We know are almost
wholly without foundation, how else can We
regard il than as the result Of judicial blind.
nesss do think the prevailing sentiment
among our sober minded people here in re-
gard to the course Of the South is one Of pam
