THE""EAsrERN SHORE. .''-Sincc the news
that four thousand Of our troops have gone to
the "Eastern Shore" to drive out couple OF
thousand rebels and protect the Unionists
from being drafted into tho secesh service, it
becomes interesting to know exactly where
the locality is. The eastern Shore" is ap-
piled to the eastern part of Maryland and the
eastern part Of Virginia to the south of Mary
land, which are divided from the mainland by
the broad Chesapeake Bay. The Virginia part
runs to point at Cape Charles, dividing tho
bay from the ocean, and is composed OF the
counties of Accomac and Northampton, the
former inclining to be loyal, and the latter or
more southern, decidedly secesh. The
greater portion of the rebel troops that fed out
OF Accomac county, Va, on the recent ap-
proach of 1900 of General Dix's command,
via, Worcester county Maryland. made tracks
for Northampton county, Va, tho lower end
of the ssEastern Shore' peninsular. A ma
jority of the rebels in both these counties have
laid down their arms, and many of them have
taken the oath of allegiance.

A DISSATISFIED SECEssIoNIsr.-TheG Georgia
Corner Stone, an old advocate of secession,
edited by Gen. Bethune, is not at all pleased
with the consummation of that scheme The
Constitution does not suit him; the Deputies
who framed it are not men of the right
stamp, usurpers of authority, building up a
Government of privileges without any guar
anty of popular rights. and refusing to sub
nit 1t 10 the people; aad he boldly recon-
mends the people to instruct their delegates
to frame or assent to no plan as final with
out being first ratified by them. Of the chief
of the new Confederacy he thus discourses !:
"For ourself, we are free to confess that
we know of no two men in the six States
composing the Confederacy whose election
would not have pleased us as well. If the
object and purpose of those who are now
welding the power be. as we are afraid it is,
to build up a splendid, m gnifcent, expen-
sive government for the benefit and aggran-
disement of rulers and their friends and de-
pendents, there could not in our opinion
have been made a more proper selection.
But if the object is to form a government,
plain, cheap and of limited powers, to be
exercised for the benefit of the people, then
we think a worse selection could scarcely
have been made.'

~ Henry Clay spoke as follows concern
ing prominent secessionist. The extract is
according to the reported debates of 1850 in
Benton's Abridgment, volume 16, page 5S4:
Mr. President: said nothing with respect
to the character of Mr.. Rhett, for 1 might as
well name him. But if he pronounced SEN
timent attributed to him, of raising the
standard of disunion and of resistance to the
common government, whatever he has been,
if he follows up that declaration by corresponding
ouert acts he tUiH be a traitor and HOPE HE WILL
MEET THE FATE OF TRAITOR. Great ap-'
piause in the galleries, with difficulty sup
pressed by the Chair.]
On the same occasion the great Kentuckian
spoke thus of disunion and his duty to the
Union as contrasted with his allegiance to
his State:
Mr.. President: / have heard with pain and
regret a confirmation of the remark made,
that the sentiment of disunion is becoming
familiar. l hope it is confined to South Car
DINA. 1 do not regard as my duty what the
honorable Senator seems to regard as his. If
Kentucky tomorrow unfurls the banner of
resistance. never will fight under that
banner. I owe a paramount allegiance to
the whole Union-a subordinate one to my
own State.

The Legislative Power of the New
COME deracy.

The Legislative Power of the New
COnfederacy.
The Corinth (Miss.) AdUertiser comments az
follows upon the usurpation of the legisla-
tive power by the delegates to the Southern
Congress
@r The first article of the Constitution of
the Provisional Government of the Confede-
rate States of America declares, says the
North Alaban,ian 'that all Legislative powers
herein delegated shall be vested in this Con-
gress noso assembled until othertoise ordained"
As the Constitution is silent as to the tenure
of the Office of those who have declared them
selves the law making power, or the time or
the mode of future elections, they may, with
out any additional assumption of power, de-
clare themselves members for life, or appoint
dictator, and very kindly relieve the peo-
pie from any further concern of self-govern-
mPnt.
What does it signify that they set out with
the declaration that 'the Constitution Tor
this Provisional Government shall continue
one year from the Inauguration of the Presi
dent or till Provisional Constitution of the
Confederate States shall be in operation"
when, at the same time, they claim all Legis-
lative power, including the sole right of al
tering or changing the Constitution at will
No despot of the old world ever claimed
more despotic power. 1t can have no legal
force at home or abroad until ratified by the
States asserting to it.

The people of East Florida are fairly shak
ing in their shoes at the probable consequent
ces of the example of secession. 1t is not
So much at the general result of secession to
the State that they tremble, as at the proba-
billy of the precedent being used to rend
the State in twain. The policy of Major Chase,
late in command of the secession forces at
Pensacola. in passing over the ..proffer of
troops from Middle Florida 20 cali upon Ala
bama and Mississippi, is severely criticised
by the Tallahassee Sentinel. That paper in-
sists that the inevitable tendency of such
policy is to ALLEVIATE West Florida from the
balance of the State, and so cause the peo-
pie of that section to look to Alabama as
their natural ally and protector. And the
editor distinctly affirms that there exists al
ready great desire in that region for an
nexation to Alabama.
This looks like business. 1t reminds us OF
the Edinburgh boy, who amused himself with
breaking shop windows, and, when remon-
strated with, replied: "It's all for the good
of the trade-Fm a glazierr' Gay, ay,"
said the remonstrant; and, raising his cane,
broke the boys head. "fhere," said he,
that's for the good of my trade-Pm sur
geon." So, if Florida may secede justly,
why not West Florida from East as JUSTLY
The World.

Tt might well be replied to their threats of

three months, whilst uttering maledic;ions
against the Northwest, they have been pur-
chasing millions of dollars worth of provi-
sions from that section of the Union. and
that want aud hunger viii always produce

threaten, hate may operate for season, but
the laws of trade are immutable. Self-inter-
eat is the law on which trade is founded. and
its rules are Interchangeable. We are not one
whit more dependent on South Carolina,
Georgia. Alabama, and Mississippi than they
are on us. They need corn, oats, mules,
horses and negroes; and, when we have them
to sell, as we are nearer to them than other
States, we can sell cheaper by so much, and
they will of course, find it their interest TO
buy of us If they place tariff on any OF
these productions, it will, as usual in such
cases, fall mainly on the consumers, and thus
make them pay the expenses OF their own
Government.

The Peace Conference.

We have received the final result OF this
body's deliberations, and lay IL before our
readers in this mornings issue. We shall re-
serve commenting upon 1T at any iength I'M
til we have considered it more July, DeiieV-
ing. as we do, that it is a Black-Reruoilcan
measure-no concession at alamo, upon
the whole. an insult TO the South. One dis
match which has come to hand, says that it
was engineered through by the followers OF
Chase & Co and was voted against by ma
iOrity in most of the border slave States
All advices represent Virginia and North
Carolina as having opposed its passage. we
only call attention TO the fact that one OF It's
provisions insidiously gives the abolIlonIsts
of the North full privilege Of FREE SPEECH
in the staue States! 1t can be construed INTO
nothing else. Any man who endorses THIS
disgraceful northumberland we assert IL
without the fear of successful contradiction

as are determined to indorse the principles
of the Chicago platform, and thus brand
themselves as traitors to the South. spurn 1t

Memphis appeal.
The appeal does not exhibit its usual good
Judgment and candor in this hasty and IN
warranted verdict against the compromise
proposed by the Peace Conference. The
Commissioners from Tennessee, with one ex-
ception, Judge ToTTEN,) voted for it, whilst
CHASE & Co., were its most active and de-
termined opponents. Is it at all probable
that such ue-hearted Southern gentlemen as

son, and JOSIAH NJ. ANDERSON, would support
sblaek republican measure"-a measure
which i an ainsult to the SOUTH? No; such
a thing is altogether improbable. The Com
promise of the Peace Conference is not
"black republican measure;" but it IS con-
servative, patriotic measure and, notwith-
standing the Agpeal's onslaught upon 1t, we
undertake to say that the South can accept
it honorably, and, if adopted, as it ought to
be, it will secure her rights within the
Union.
If the Appeal has real objections to urge
against the Compromise, which the Tennessee
Commissioners, with the exception referred
to, thought worthy of their support, let it
give them, enforced by fair and manly ar
gument. The people have had a surfeit of
slang phrases. The cry of "black republican
measure" freesoilism," submission"
proves nothing but the weakness of the cause
which finds it necessary to resort to such
lame means to maintain itself.

ANr1-sEcEssIoN MEETING IN MISSISSIPPI

ANTI-SEcEssIoN MEETING IN MIssIssIPPI.-
There was an anti-secessOn meeting at
Smiths Store, Jones county, Miss, on the
10th of February. We learn from the Bran
don Republican that "there were many
speeches made on the occasion protesting
against secession and the increased taxation
of the people on the part of the State, and
calling for a still larger meeting at Tai
lahoma." The proceedings of the meeting
were furnished the Republican for publication,
but declined, on the ground that the will of
the majority of the State as expressed for
secession ought to be respected. 1t has come
to a pretty pass that the freedom of the
press must be denied to any portion of the
people because the majority is believed to be
against them.

The Charleston Mercury walks into Mr..
HoiT, late Secretary of War under Mr.. b.
eHASAN, as follows:
Joseph Holt, who is more cordially and
Justly hated and despised than any man in
the Cabinet, has refused to receive a box sent
to him from South Carolina. The box. when
opened at the Adams Express Company's of
fee, was found to contain s"most beautiful
flowers" No one dared to disturb these
flowers, for fear of an explosion of some
subtle poison. Holt does not deserve the
honor of an assassination. But he is mark
ed man. II ever he ventures within the con-
fines of the Confederate States. he will never
return to practice coercion again. The breed
of such traitors cannot beperpetuated among
us.
Traitor to what was Mr.. Holt? Surely
not to South Carolina-nor-to the Confeder-
ate States. If the Aercury's is the spirit Of
the new government, the Confederate States
viii be delightful country to live in. The
fault of Mr.. HoLr is, that. amongst traitors
be was faithful, and discharged his duties
honestly and fearlessly.
