world that We are not the least inclined to ignore
the Bible repeat sir, that both civil as well as
religious freedom is furthered thereby.
Civil liberty rightly understood, consists in the
fullest enjoyment of all such rights as are compati
bic with civil government A nation may be said
to be in the greatest enjoyment of civil berty not
those who have surrendered tho te,oest private
rights, but those who have surrendered all that are
necessary for the maintenance of good order, the
peace and security Of society. In France, there is
less surrender of individual rights than in Great
Britain, and yet in France there is less civil liberty
than in Great Brtain-and that too, for the reason
that they have not surrendered enough to secure
the remainder. In fact very much question wheth-
er the French Nation are in reality capable of en-
joying as great q degree Of civil liberty as Great
Britain not that they have not intelligence-for,
sir, intelligence is not all that is required. 1t is
good far it goes but it does not go far enough
it never can supply moral obligation moral virtue,
or religious obligation. Yes sir, just in proportion
as the moral or religious tie of any people becomes
relazed just in the same proportion do you have to
strengthen the political tie to secure the greatest
degree Of civil security. Yes-France, nation of
n66els, is enjoying less civil liberty than Great
Britain, q nation of Christians, Notwithstanding
they boast so much of democracy and equality. l
never therefore, can consent to ignore the restrain
ing influences of religion, even though viewed in its
effects upon civil liberty. But have said enough,
and now return my thanks for the indulgence of
the Convention.

What gentlemen mean by a experimenting con-
troll Of Providence over human affairs, might we'll
give rise to debate and therefore, prefer the prop
osition of the gentleman from Alamance, which
leaves the clause in the Constitution just as We
found it, except that it is so worded to let in
the Jews. | believe that they ought to be let in,
for they believe in the true God; for no Christian
can deny that Moses God, was not the true God
and beside, they hold oT-ture rewards and punish
ments, and their history proves that they have al
ways been found fighting on the side Of their adop
ted country. They have now, in this our country's
greatest need, come forth with commendable liber-
atty in support of our army. Yes, Mr.. Mordecai,
Of South Carolina, Jew has been the largest con.
tributor to the Confederate Treasury of any private
gentleman, and Rabbi Raphili of the synagogue of
New York, has written the best defence Of slavery
upon scriptural grounds that has come under my
observation. And sir, the present able Attorney
General Of the Confederate States is Jew, and these
are the men upon whom we are called, to continue
this odious prescription. No sir, never. psver will
consent to it. am then, sir, for letting in this
oppressed people, and for continuing the Constitu.
ton just as it s-ior never can consent that the
God Of the Bible shall be ignored as it will be to
great extent if the proposition of the gentleman
from Martin shall succeed. know, sir, that such
is not his object but insist that such will be its
efect-for simply requiring that there shall be no
religious tests, unexplained, is equivalent to say

 honor. as their own-nor need we say to you, fellow-citizens of Pulaski county, that we of the South are one people, possessing a common property, identical in our feel ings, our ends, our government and our so- cial institutions; that we depend mutually one upon the other, and that like the fabled bundle of sticks, when all banded together no power could break them, but separated, they became the prey even of child.
 Now, fellowe citizens lof Pulaski county, we know you will be warned of the evils of a dissolution of the Union--the dangers and the cost, consequent to ssch movement, by class of moderate men who think better of the North than they deserve; this is mere scare crow thrown in your way to deter you from forsaking the wrong and pursuing the right. Turn deaf ear to these prophets ot evil. Do not allow the idea of fdanger and cost to be thrown into the scale against your rights, your honor and your safety The horrors of bloody war will be portrayed in words glowing with eloquence before you; but that Is not question for brave and chiv- alrous people to consider The danger is non-action and delay. You must brave all, bear all, but never submit to be ruled by black republican administration; and God will protect you in the right.
 To those who do not own slaves but reside among us, we would, besides referring you to the letter of Mir. Walker to Forney, above quoted, say that your freedom and your happiness will be forever lost whenever you submit to black republican 1ule.- Under the system of government and the rules of society in the southern States, you are the equals, both socially and politi- cally, of any and all, without regard to wealth or distinction as to place or position, Here you can set under your own vine and fig tree and no one dare make you afraid. Not so in the northern States; the rich are naughty and domineering, whilst the poor man IS In comparative state of servilty to him. Mir. Lincoln believes that all men, negroes and whitemen, are politically socially and morally equal He has so stated his belief, and to this doctrine he stands committed to this day. Hence, it Is evident that if he has his way, and you submit to his rule you are to be placed on an equality with the negro race; this has already been done in many of the States which voted for Mr. Lincoln for President of these United States. Are you prepared then to have negroes vote in your elections, set on your juries, admit their testimony in your courts, represent you in your legisla- lures, marry your daughters, and in all things be the equals of yourselves and families? We know you would scorn such a state of things; and yet such is the condition to which submission to black re- publican rule inevitably leads. We would say to you now in conclusion, our country men, eff you have nature in you bear it not" Most respectfully,
 your fellow citizens,

Joint Resolutions Adopted by the Legis
 lature of Tennessee.

The following resolutions finally passed the legislature of this State on Friday before last:
 Resolved dy he General Assembly of Me Slate of Tennessee, That this general as. sembly has heard with profound regret of the resolutions recently adopted by the State of New York, tendering men and money to the President of the United States, to be used in coercing certain sov- ereign States of the South into obedience to the federal government.
 Resotped, That this general assembly re- ceives the action of the legislature of New York as the indication of purpose upon the part of the people of that State to fur ther compicate existing difficulties, by fcrcing the people of the South to the ex- tremity of submission or resistance, and so regarding it, the Governor of the State of Tennessee is hereby requested to inform the Executive of the State of New York, that it is the opinion of this general assem- ply that whenever the authorities of that State shall send armed forces to the South for the purpose indicated in said resolutions, the people of Tennessee, uniting with their brethren of the South, will, as one man, resist such invasion of the soil of the South at all hazards and to the last extremity.

Pursuant to previous notice the citizens of Saline county assembled in convention at the court house in the town of Benton, on Monday, 7th day of January 1861.
 The convention was called to order, and. on motion of Gen. Geo. M. Holt, Hon. William A. Crawford was unanimously elected president; wbo Tn brief and appropriate speech, explained the object of the convention.
 On motion of Col J. M. Smith, Gen. Geo. M. Holt was elected Secretary, and Jno. w. Hodges, esq, assistant secretary.
 On motion Of Col. Smith, the President ap- pointed committee of len to report preamble and resolutions, expressive of the sentiments of the convention upon the political issues that agiate this confederacy; whereupon, Col Jabez M Smith, Hon. Joseph Scott, Mai. M J. Henderson. Geo. W. Chatten Simon B. Poe, Andrew M. Dood, Sharp D. Glenn, Wm. Henslee, John Barren and " m k. Gregory were appointed said committee who retired to prepare the report.
 While the committee was absent the convention was addressed by Hon. L. II. Bean, and other dis ttnquished speakers.
 The committee, having deliherated ro+prrad and, through the chairman, Col. Jabez M. Smith. made the following report:
 hkREAs, Aoe Lincoln has been elected Presi- dent of the United States by A sectional marty whose ayowed principles arc declared to the world 'o pc to ieSslate against the rights and institutions ot all those States In the United States wherein African slavery exists by law; and ,rhereas the Southern States have a common cause to resist the continued aggression upon their constitutional rights and their inherent rights as freemen: and 'csereas, we deem it highly essential that the peo pc or the different portions of this State should give free expression their views and sentiments on the present disturbed condition of our federal relations to the general governments; therefore
 De u oy he people of Me county of Saiine, in mi. mary contention assembled, resoired, That the neo pie of the different Southern States have the same rght to extend and expand their institutions into .he territories ot the United States. as the North erh states have to extend their institutions into the same' and this right should be secured in them anu enforced oy the general government. as long as the sad territories remain Tn terrltoraI cond toni and that, when the people of territory have tne requisite population, and apply for admission as State into the Union; as to slavery, tbeT shouId oe admitted with or without slavery as their consti 'utlon may in that respect provide.
 1esoleed' That the general government ia one oi limited and delegated powers, and can eSer. cise none except those delegated to if in tbe Con s.iluHon of the United States; and the claim of me o'aSA republican party of the North to eeis- ,a1e ana sniorce the policy asserted in their pat. l1rn oi pFincipes, is depotic and tyrannica in its snArac'er ~ aud tendency, totally at variance with tue spiil ol constitutional and free ,rovernuen,

Harris, James Blonsett, Robert II. Hal- ley, and R. G. Gaines; this committee after Ia conference of some time, reported the the following preamble and resolutions:
 WHEREAS, The political affairs of our country are much distracted, and by the secession of South Carolina, the Union in our opinion now stands dissolved, and the secession of Georgia, Alabama Florida, MlssIsSlppi, Louisiana and Texas will soon follow; therefore, we think it is high time Arkansas was taking some steps for her safety and preservation or she must fall in the hands of the black republican rule, which in our opinion will be detrimental to our interests; and our legislature so far have taken no steps to avert the danger that awaits us. Therefore be it
 Resolued, That immediate secession is the only remedy left us for the security of our persons and property, and we do hope the legislature will not delay any longer in granting us State convention by which we may take some steps to avert the threat ening danger awaiting us.
 2nd. That South Carolina has our sym pathies, and we pledge our support to her if any attempt ia made by the government or any foreign power to coerce her back.

FATAL AFFRAY AT FR1An's POINT DEATH OF PROMINENT C1rIzEN.-We learn from Capt. J. B. Russell the partic- uIars ofa fatal affray that occurred at Friar's Point, Coahoma county, Miss, on Satur- day last. It seems that negro belonging to MT. Clark Bobo, had stolen hog from Dr. A. Whitaker, and the two gentlemen met short distance from Friar's Point Dr. Whitaker mounted on horse, and Mr. Bobo on foot A friendly conversation ensued, during which the theft was proba- ply discussed, and Dr. Whitaker gave Bobo the lie, when he attempted to pull the Doctor from his horse. Whitaker had a double-barrel shot gun and a bowie knife. The movement frightened the animal, and both men were thrown to the ground-the Doctor falling on Bobo, drew his knife and stabbed him several times, from the effects of which he (Bobo) died almost instantly. Dr. Whitaker was arrested. The sad af- fair has cast gloom over the community at Friar's Point, both gentlemen being among the most esteemed citizens of Coah- oma county. AyalQnche.

CoERcING THE SoUTH.-It is refreshing. at time like this, when almost the entire North seem to have been "given over to believe lie," to find some show of reason in northern journal. Still more pleasant is it to find one that evidently understoaads the true position of things, and dares to speak its mind. Such an one is the New York Express, as the following from it's issue of last Friday will show:
 The opacity and stolidity of the repub- lcan press are now re-displayed in their fresh cry for coercion, "fght," drums" "gunpowder." "bombs," "shells," etc. Now, all this would have sense, if any of it were practicable. But Me stolidity ofMe RepuJliaan Press eonsiss n Me idiocy, Mot Me .Nortk, erea Me united North faad t is
