 HARRIs' PLAIs, Feb. IS, 1861.
 The Convention that seeded Harris Plain from Litchfeld in December last, was recon vened last week, at the Academy of Music, to consider the;present positions of affairs
 The Hon. Thomas Jackson called the convou- ton to order, and made the following speech:
 GExTLEMEs have thought it proper to re- commehd you to take into considerations the pres- ent state of affairs, and to give you an opporfu- nity to take such action as you may deem proper
 It is now about seven weeks since we, in Con. venfion assembled, declared ourselves free and independent people, Up to this time no coerciye measures have been undertaken, but soon thore is to be change of administration. At thenext April election the Black Republicans of Litch- field, will undoubtedly, send representatives to the General Assembly, who will endeavor to se- cure the power of the State to coerce Harris' Plain into degraded submission.
 Would 1t not be wise for us, under the circum- stances, to take measures toward the recons.ruc- ton of our discovered town. I would further recommend that this Convention do, by resolu- tion or otherwise, advise South Carolina and other States that have seeded, to take measures towards the reconstruction of the former Union -of their own free will-ere they are compelled to submit to Black Republican rule by the incom- ing coercive administration
 The patriotism and forethought of the honora- ble President was loudly applauded, cheer after cheer reverbcrating throughout the immense au- ditorium, where the
 Long drawn aisle and frettedsyault', meets the eye of the awe-struck beholder.
 The Committee on Resolutions reported the following:
 WHEREAS, it is evident that we were mistaken
 in supposing that we could secede from the
 town of Litchfeld without making fuss and
 whereas, it is evident that the people of Litch-
 field are determined to coercc us, if they can
 secure the power of the State.
 Reso!ped, That we are willing, and if anyt thing anxious, to repeal the ordinance of secession passed by us on the 25th of December last, and to devote ourselves to the reconstruction of our now discovered town.
 Resoloed, That we wishit understood that this retraction is of our own free action and not the result of the threats which have been made by the bloody coercionists of Litchfeld.
 Resolved, That the anti-coercion resolutions passed at the late Democratic State Convention, are fully approved by us tho people of Harris Plain and if we were Mr. Loomis would be elected Governor, we would stand by our for mer ordinance, and depend upon him to place an armed guard on our borders to prevent an inya- sion of Litchfeld cocrcionists, from spilling the blood of q common brotherhood, who happen to live in this neighborhood. Rssotyed, That in view of tl:e coercive views l of tho incoming eoercve Lincoln, We would re- spectfully advise South Carolina, and all the other States that have severed the tie that binds like ourselves-to back down as we have without loss of honor before they are brought low under the cocrcive maui of OLD ABE.
 Resolced, That report of the proceedings of this Convention be transmitted to the LITcHrIELD ENQUIRER and RATTLE SNAKE HERALD, also to the Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of the South ern Confcderacy, and to the Hon. Brother Bill Eaton, the celebrated rcvolutionist, who makes his Democratic brethren swallow his anti-ccer- cion pills without word.
