SOUTH CARoLINA.-We have not seen Il
adverted to that the ordinance Of Secession
passed by the Convention of South Carolina
is not to be submitted to the people. They
are transferred like a drove Of hogs. Ever
in Naples, the other day, the people were al
lowed to vote upon the question Of anne1ins
themselves to Sardinia. The Emperor Ma
poleon and Victor Emmanuel went through
the form in tho case of savoy and Nice So
of Tuscany, and the Romagna, and the
Duchies. 1t is reserved to South Carolina 70
to take the first step backwards. Their ideal
is the Middle Ages. The people are rabblo.
They are to be governed not consulted
They are subjects, not the source Of power
1t is not the people Of South Carolina, who

AN ArpEAL.-E1- Governor Cal, of Flor

people of that State, Astounding in strong
national views, and replete with the senti-
ment of true patriotism. He refers to the
haste with which the Legislature of Florida
within four days after its late organization,
passed an act calling Convention Of dele
gates to assemble on the 81 Of January, for
the avowed purpose of Seeding from the
Union. and adds the following emphatic wall
ming:
"Now, my fellow-ctizens, on my respon-
sibillity and under halter, if you please, be-
fore God and in tie name Of my country,
proclaim that when the deed shall be done,
it will be treason-high treason-aganst our

OF the black diamonds with which the
southern market is supplied, four-flfths is the
product OF this State, and nearly all of the
remaining filth is obtained from other North
ern localities. To-day, Charleston, Savan-
nah, Mobile and New Orleans are asking for
the fuel from the enemy" but none Is sent.
There are now at this port orders from the
South for from five thousand to six thousand
tons Of coal, but shipmasters decline to re-
ceivo shipments to Charleston, Savannah.
Mobile and New Orleans, at any price, Civ
ing as a reason that they would be unsafe at
such points, and they are not DESTROYS to
have shaved heads and suits of tar and feath-

Before the present excitement, the freight
on coal to Charleston and Savannah was from
81 to $3.50 per ton. Yesterday an effort
was made by a certain party to ship load
to Charleston, by Offering IS per ton for
freight which was everywhere declined.
The markets Of the chief cities Of the South
are now drained Of coal, and the article is
selling in Charleston and Savannah at S14.-
so per ton, and at Mobile and New Orleans
at so, an advance Of more than 100 per
cent. Much suffering is occasioncd by the
scarcity, which will be greatly aggravated as
the winter advances. In addition to the Of
fer OF high remuneration, every inducement
has been resortcd to, to persuade the ship
masters to forego their purpose, but they are
persistent in their determination, having no
confidence in the assurance OF safety which
are extended towards them. The experience
Of some of their number has convinced them
that the Southern ports are altogether in the
hands Of mobs, and they deem it wise no: to

The Committee Of Thirty-three will report
a plan of settlement this week. OF course
no action that may now be had can for the
present satisfy the States which have placed

of sentiments, should be had throughout

the one of all others the most exposed

We deem it our imperative duty as Mary
landers to give the following expression
of our views.

just cause for revolution, is the palpable
oppression, of the people by the general
government.

ty bills have acted in bad faith towards
the South, and should promptly repeal
them.
Resolvel, That the Cotton states in
seeding because of Northern fanaticism
have acted against the advice, and con-
sent of the Border States who have had
the greatest cause of complaint.
RcsOlved, That the Border States
should not Cooperate, with the e&tre-
nlsts of the South nor the fanatics Of the
North, but By fidelity and devotion to
the Constitution exert an influence to re-
strain rebellion and perpetuase tho I'm

Of the President in ayowing his deter

The POPULAR REAoTIoY.-The precipitate
course OF South Carolina in refusing to await
the action of the north, bat at once plung-
ing the country into all the perils Of civil
war, has alenated the sympathies of many
patriotic men who have hitherto remained
her steadfast friends, ready to vindcate the
justice Of her cause at any sacrafice. We
have one illustration of this in the case of the
veteran Commodore Lawrence Kearny, who
stands second on the active service list of the
U. S. Navy, and whose resignation was an
nounced a few days ago. In private Letter
Commodore Kearney says
"Since the course pursued by the Charles
tonians, have changed my views in regard
to matters in that quarter and elsewhere, and
have asked to be allowed to withdraw my
letter Of resignation in the Navy"

SENTIMENTS OF WESTERN VIRGINIA. -
A meeting held at Parkersburg, Va;with
General j, j. jackson in the Chair, and
largely attended, on Tuesday last, adop-
tod series Of resolutions expressing de-
votion to the Union. deprecating the
course of South Carolina, and whilst re-
cognizing the wrongs of the South, not
deeming them of sufficient magnitude
to resort to revolution. Among the res,
olutions as to the course of Virgin
ia were the following emphatic dcclara-
tons
That, in the opinion of this meeting
the proposed call of Convention by the
Legislature, for the purpose of consid-
ering what sposition Virginia shall as
sumo in the revolutionary movements of
South Carolina, is at the instigation of
the enemies of the Union, and intended
as the means Of precipitating the State
into connection fatal to her credit, her
prospe rity, and to the happiness of her
people.
That we believe the General Assembly
has 70 Constitutional power to call a
Convention for the purpose Of changing
the relation of the State to the Federal
Government; but in the event of the call
cf such Convention By the Legislature,
the delegates should be chosen on the
basis of the FREQ white inhabitants of the
commonwealth.
That we will be bound by the acts Of
no Convention, no matter how called or
organized, the purpose of which is to al
ter, or in any manner change the re!a-
ton Virginia bears the Government Of
the Union. unless the proposed alteration
or change is first submitted to the votes
of toe people, and sanctioned by them
after full discussion and ample time for
consideration.
