THE SCOTT SUBSTITUTE.

The Richmond papers Of Saturday, give in
full the substitute Of Mr.. Scott, proposed for the
fourteenth resolution of the Committee on Fed.
eral Relations. This substitute was adopted
yeas 7G, nays 42-and is ss follows:
"The peculiar relations of the States of Del
aware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Arkansas,
to the other States, make it proper, in the judg.
ment of this Convention, that the former States
should consult together and concert such meas.
ures for their final action as the honor, the in
terests, and the safety Of the people thereof may
demand, and for that purpose the proper author.
tiles of those States are requested to appoint
commissioners to meet commissioners to be
appointed by this Convention on behalf of the
people Of this State, at Frankfort, in the State
Of Kentucky, on the last Monday in May
next.
"And in the event that satisfactory responses
On the part of the non slaveholding States be
not made to the proposed amendments of the
Constitution by the time appointed for the re.
assembling Of this body, it is the opinion of this
Convention that the said States of Delaware,
Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri, and Arkansas, ought to assemble in
primary Conventions, and, in conjunction with
this State, convene Congress of the said States,
composed ofdclegates to be appointed by the re.
speciive Conventions thereof, for the purpose of
recommending an amended Constitution of
Government to be submitted for ratification to
the people of the several States, upon which the
Union of the said States and the Confederate
States with such of the nonslaveholding States
as may concur therein, can be safely effected /;
to which Congress the Confederate States, and
Al. Il l,1I
amendments to the Federal Constitution pro
posed by this Convention, ought TO be invited
to send commissioners"
The Enquirer and Whig are both thrown into
an ecstasy Of rage by this action. The Enquirer
says:
"If anything will precipitute the true men of
Virginia into revolution, it will be the misera.
bic shutting OF our State Convention"
The Whig says:
"Mr. SCOTS proposition for border Con.
gress substantially adjourus Virginia's ultima
tam to body which may never exist, and over
which this State will have 10 authority. To
any such mischievous absurdity, we are wholly
opposed. The Convention will cover itself with
shame and confusion, and fill the hearts of its
revilers with joy, if ii conIesses its own impo-
tence by doing nothing, but adjouruing the
question itself should decide to Congress in
nuJibuS, and which may never have q tangible
being"
These "groaus of the Britons" are the sweet,
est music to patriotic ears. The indications
are. that the disunionists of Virginia will be
driren to revolution against their own State
authorities, as the only desperate alternative
left to drive the Old Dominion out of the
Union.
A line of steamers between Ireland and
France is projected.

organ of Mr. Buchanan's custom.house officials,
says:
1--WE consider the Union is now .torerer dis.
rupted. The border States, or those slavehold.
ing States which have held aloof from those

side they will go. They must determine whether
they will continue in union with those who
have proclaimed an eternal, irrepressible war
against their rights and their interests, or
whether they will 20 with those whose interests
are identical with their own. There is but
little time left now for reflection and decision.

Bv the President Of lie United States
A PROCLAMATION.

wh.rsss the laws of the United States have
been for some time past, and now are, opposed,
and the execution thereof obstructed. in the
States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by
combinations too powerful to be suppressed by
the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or
By the powers vested in the marshals BY law;
Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Presi'
dent Of the United States, in virtue OF the
power in me vested by the Constitution and the
laws, have thought tit to call forth, and do
hereby call forth, the militia Of the several
States Of the United States of the Union, to the
aggregate number of seventyfve thousand, i'll
order to suppress said combinations, and to
cause the laws to be duly executed. The de.
tails for this object will be Immediately com.
municated to the State authorities, through the
War Department.
Iappeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facili,
tate, and aid, this effort to maintain the honor,
the integrity, and the existence, Of our national
Union, and the perpetuity Of popular govern
ment, and to redress wrongs already long
enough endured.
deem it proper to say, that the first service
assigned to the forces hereby called forth, will
probably be to repossess the forts, places, and
property, which have been seized from the Union
and, in every event, the utmost care will be OBJ
served, consistently with the objects aforesaid
to avoid any devastation, any destruction OF, or
interference with property, or any disturbance Of
peaceful citizens in any part of the country.
And hereby command the persons COM
posing the combinations aforesaid, to disperse,
and retire peaceably to their respective abodes
within twenty days from this date.
Deeming that the present condition OF public
affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, l
do hereby, in virtue Of the power in me vested
by the Constitution, convene both Houses o.
Congress. Senators and Representatives are
therefore summoned to assemble at their re
spective chambers at II o'clock, noon, OF
Thursday, the fourth day of July next ther
and there to consider and determine such meas
ures as, in their wisdom, the public safety an'
interest may seem to demand.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set IN.
hand. and caused the seal of the unitet
States to be affixed. Done at the cit,
