lima Nth Washington Sumter TO be taken &!
CHARLESTON, Jan. % The South Carolina Legis-
lature, to-day, unanimously adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolred unanimously, That the General Assem-
bly, of South Carolina tenders to the Legislature of
Virginia their acknowledgements of the friendly
tive which inspired the mission entrusted to the
Hon. Judge Robertson, her Commissioner
ReSOLred, unanimously, That the candor which
is due to the long continued sympathy and respect
which has subsisted between Virginia and Carolina,
induces the Assembly to declare with frankness that
they do not deem it advisable to initiate negotiations
when they have no desire nor intention to promote
the ultimate object in view That object is declared
in the resolution of the Virginia Legislature to be
in the procurement of an amendment or new guar
antees to the Constitution of the United States.
Resotred, unanimously, That the separation Of
South Carolina from the Federal Union is final, and
she has no further interest in the Constitution of
the United States, and that the only appropriate
negotiations between her and the Federal Govern
ment are as to their mutual relations as foreign
States.
Resolred, unanimously, That this Assembly fur
ther it to her friendly relations with the State
of Virginia, to declare that they have confidence
in the Federal Government of the United States !;
that the most solemn pledges of that Government
preserving property, hostile troops have been at
tempted to be introduced into of the fortresses
of this State, concealed in the hold of vessel of
commerce, with a view to subjugate the people of
South Carolina and that them since the authorities
at Washington have been informed of the present
mediation of Virginia vessel Of war has been sent
to the South with troops, and munitions of war have
been concentrated on the soil of Virginia.
RESOLVED, unanimously, That under these circum-
stances, the Assembly, with renewed assurances of
cordial respect and esteem for the people OF Virgin

cline entering into the negotiations proposed by
both branches Of the Legislature
The Legislature was in executive session to-day
on the correspondence Of Gov. Pickens, Col Hayne,
the South Carolina Commissioner to Washington
and the Federal authorities. 1t appears that the
ultimatum of South Carolina was the surrender OF
Fort Sumter, that Carolina promised to pay for the
forts and that Hayne in Difference to the wishes Of
Southern Congressman, withheld his propositions.
Gov. Pickens now tells Col. Hayne to make final
demand Of the forts, and repudates the position Of
the President when he says he "has no power to
give them up, but must leave it to Congress" Gov.
Pickens further tells Hayne to wait reasonable

movement is the tendency of numbers of its advo-
Gates to miSrepresent
At the annual 9Th of January dinner given at
Tammany Hall in this City this year, eloquent and
patriotic addresses made by Hons. s. j. Tilden
d. s. Dickinson, and Hiram Wabridge; also by A.
S. Hewitt, c. Ii. Brackett Ii. b. Perkins, Esqrs,
and others. The great speech of the evening was
undoubtedly that of Mr.. Walbridge, who replied to
the toast in memory of Andrew jackson. His able
and extended remarks called forth repeated bursts
of applause especially his eloquent commentator Of
the Union and the necessity Of sustaining It by peace
able and proper means
Not an American, whether of the South or North,
could have taken the slightest exception to a
casual remark, and its conclusion was greeted by
three times three cheers. And yet English ennis
sary writing for South Carolina paper charges Mr.
Walbridge with making coercion speech. With
those who heard the speech the charge is contempti
ble because false.
The 9th of January will always here be held in
sacred remembrance, whether Louisiana goes out or
stays in the Union. 1t is we'll too always to remem-

The Hinglish Horpau.

The Hinglish Morgan of to-day assails and abuses
US because, in the performance of our duty TO the
people, we thought proper to dissent from the dis
union sentiments of Gov Ellis's message What
we stated in November last every one perceives
to be true, to-wit that Co., Ellis is disunionsst
Even the State Journal with all its mendacity, does
not deny the fact
We have the proof that Governor Ellis was active
in starting the State .Journal-that he has aided it
in various respects-and that he now controls it
1t abuses us because he orders it to do so. The
miserable Hinglshman who nominally edits it. i'm
peaches our motives and maligns US. He does so
because he is ordered to do so. His paper of the
18th January contained personal article about the
Editor of this paper which stamps the writer of the
article, and those who endorse the article, as un-
speaka5ly infamous. If Gov Ellis endorses that ar
ticle he is an infamous man. The man who wrote
1.-THE man who published it is infamous, and far
below the level of humanity.
We now give Gov. Ellis notice, once for all, that
if he continues his attacks us through the State
Journal, We will thoroughly expose him. We con-
tent ourself to-day with stating only one fact:
During the last summer Gov Ellis deliberately
broke his 'OOrd by taking from us the printing OF
Prof Emmon's Reports, we having contracted with
him through our agent, Mr.. Wilson, to do the work.
Still we labored to his election and voted for
him.

public discussion took place on the following reso-
luton:
"Resolred That secession under existing circum-
stances is wrong"
The resolution was spiritedly discussed both for
and against; old and young participating and every

the question was voted on. And how do you sup
pose, Mr. Editor, it decided? All against seces
sion except three The Union fire is bright here.
Mr. York proposed three cheers for the Union, the
Constitution and the stars and stripes, which were
heartily given.
Col. Weatherspoon then proposed three cheers for
Hon. Bedford Brown, for his manly course in the
Legislature. They deafening cheers such told
the sentiments of the people.
Mr. York proposed three cheers for W. W. Hol-

ELECTION OF SENAToR-On Thursday last the
Hon. Thomas L. Clingman, disunionist, was elected
a Senator of the United States by the Legislature
of this State for six years from and after the 4th of
March next There was no organized opposition to
Mr.. Cngman. Many members voted for him with
extreme reluctance, but having pledged themselves
in caucus they felt bound to act accordingly. We
have hesitation in saying that three-fourths of
the people of the State would have preferred the
Hon. Bedford Brown to Mr.. Clingman
Mr.. Brown not candidate; and his friends
know that he took action, by word or deed look
ing to his own promotion. In these days of trckery
and intrigue such men as Bedford Brown debar-
red by their honesty and integrity, from the highest
posts of honor and usefulness. The people must
rebuke the unprncpled professional politicians, and
take their own affairs into their own hands Their
rights and liberties are in danger.

sons which induce them to dissent from the report

to harmonize existing difficulties the basis mainly
of Mr.. Crittenden's resolutions while, on the other
hand, the Alabama resolutions invite the slavehod

consideration such other measures as are deemed OF

military tactics will be introduced into the female
schools OF this State Immediately, the spirited
girls declare their willingness to take charge of the
SouthCarolina infantry, which is yet to be raised
"a report from the interior says the negroes
wear drilling, but it needs confirmation. Every
body is in blaze of enthusiasm, and the gas COM
