I have never seen the fact anywhere stated
that the Ordinance Of Secession ncrer received
the signatures or assent of all the members OF
the Convention Of South Carolina, The fact
Is, quite number refused to sign this Gocu.
ment. have no doubt that to-dny the num-
Dor would be much greater. There is 9 Cnion
party in South Carolina, and It il gaining every
dav.
The action of Georgia and the hitch il, Ala.
bama cause joy and concern-joy that Geor::ia
has ranged herself alongside Of South
Carolina, md concern lest Alabama, BIZ so1ac
mi.hap, should not be in the same position,
If things were to remain as they are till the
4th Of March, and South Carolina is compelled
to keep her standing army in tic field anl
1naiutaiu her appointments at uot less than
$40 0N per day, without being able to strike 4
blow, secession will be in au advanced sta5e OF
dry-rot The dread is that they hare got
themselves into just this fir, and that wien
Mr. Lincoln comes In, they will be Just where
they are now, only weakened By expense and
discouraged By the SELF tj1npzaciicabilit
OF secession.
II, meantime, segyilc insurrcction should
break out, which they profess not to fear, the
camels back certainly would be broken
Would It not be funny if one of the first acts
OF President Lincoln should be the suppression
OF domestic violence In weak and humbicd
South Carolina! And yet, stranger things than
that have happened.

Seizure Of Coast Survey Vessels.
[From the Phi1adelphia Press,}

It is reported TINT some of the vessels at
tached to the Coast Survey have been seized
BY the secessionists- steam tender FREELY
and schooner Petrol at Charleston, South Caro-
lima, aud the schooner Dana, at St. Augustine,
on ths Florida coast. Tie mission Of these
vessels YES, Of course, ofa peaceful and scien-
tit1c character, and the labors for which they
were used have proved highly beneficial to the
ships sailing in the vicinity of the port. where
they we're recently captured. Wlcnit is rccol-
lected that even nations at war with each
other respect the ships Of their adyersarics
that are employed for strictly scientific pur-
poses, the infamy # the captures to which we
have referred will be fully comprehended.
Even the Indians respect the life and property
Of traveller who shows that he rossesse. Al
extraordinaIy talent, or who can CONVINCE
them that he aims at promoting the general
Eelfnre Of mankind But no act Of vandalism
seems too flagrant for some Of the secession
lists, and no Outrage upon the Government and
upon civilization too dishonozab1o for them
to commit. They seem determined to dis
grace their cause, which Is quito bad enough
In itse1f, as much as possible.

There Is great rejoicing here tonight, in
consequence Of the receipt OF q dispatch from
Mr.. fasrard, Treasurer OF Kentucky, aunounc-
ing that tue Legislature OF that State has de-
cided against calling Convention, which has
been III 1ged only by the sccessionists. This Is
considered equivalent to Il declaration against
di-union. The Cnion MEN here from hentuckT
aud other border States, especially from
Maryland, are congratuAting each other At Tie
noble stand taken by kentucky, while the dis
un!unists appear very much chagrined.
Il letter received from Frankfort, Ky., to-
night says tho Legislature passed resolution
authorizing tbs display oi the national dag
upon the State House, and the Irius OF thirty
three guns in honor OF the Union. The liz.
WIS run up and committee was appointed to
cal: upon Governor Masotlin to obtain his au-
lnori1S for usin5 cannon. He refused. The
Unier men then notified hin, that if he refused
ti,a uEo of the cannon they would take It. The
Governor then asssntcd, and the salute was
tired !au,id the GREATEST Enthusiasm Of the
people.

But there ARE other and more important
changes to be effected in this programme.
Something must be thrown into the nav
of slavery more substantial than the per-
sohal profit Of few Democratic politicians
in:thc North. The first thing to bo done,
ofcourse, Is to scare the North all tupieces
with the spectre Of complete and irzepar-
able disunion. The secession Of the cot
ton States has not shattered the nerTessof
People On this side Of Mason Is Di1on's line
quite as severely rs was expected Let
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas,
slide out one by one, and, in the opinion Of
the reconstructionists, the North will be
s1lppicating them to come back at any
price, no matter how debasing to free
people, no matter at what sacrifice Of The
principles Of Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son and Franklin. The cotton States, On
the other hand, will be satisfied with moth
ing short Of q new Constitution, which
shall consolidate power in their hands, by
overthrowing the majority principle Of
government givinx the Territories up to
their control. permitting them to sojourn in
the free States with their slaves, and to re-
open the African s1a7e trade when they get
ready for that luxury.
This is tho only explanation Of the
course now being pursued by Douglas,
Vallandigham g. Co., at all consistent
with their sanity, and there ere many indi-
cations IN the border slave States that such
is the programme to be carried out: But
after the secession scheme shall have been
completely executed, and before the busi~
ness Of reconstruction comes on the carpet,
something else will transpIre, not laid down
in the bills. The fountains of the great
deep will not be broken up without ruf1ling
the surface Mr. Webster is dead, but
those who listened to his words Of prophe-
CT will live 10 witness their fulfllmcnt ere
this conspiracy ripcns to its close
