The New southern Nationality.

South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida
having passed the sovereign act of secession from
the old Union give tinge of reality to the South
ern movement unprecedented. Instead now of re-
garding the Southern Confederacy as creation of
the imagination in some such manner one catches
an idea of a splendid temple from the plans of an
architect We can now see some Of the actual foun
datiOns their extent direction, strength, and also
some of the pillars with their chapters reality has
begun, at least to occupy the field heretofore held
by debate and imagination. The probability is now
stronger than that not only the Gulf States but
that all the slave States will in few weeks dissolve
their ancient connections and stand ready TO discuss
the terms of a Southern Union. Before this meets
the readers eye the secession of Georgia may also
be announced, for at present the revolution
of q State is item OF almost daily news
Meantime some hasty people (and who
of Americans has not learned to be in hurry y
are asking where and how are TO manage the
mails, the mint the banks, the manufactures, the
publishing business, and all that sort Of thing. To
which it may be answered, let US have peace, and
all these things would be in full blast in four years
Laws and plans of government we already have,
and have practised them that there need be no de-
lSy. We find no fault with the abstract constitution
and spirit of the old Government, in fact it is de-
signed to readOpt the whole if necessary. We can
proceed therefore, to establish mail routes, regulate
the currency, encourage manufactures, look to the
formation of marine power. and in fact initiate tie
whole catalogue OF arts, sciences. and rehnements
that distinguish ma OF frst-rate enlightenment.
But these things car iot, of course be done by the
Conventions that meet me y to express the
sense Of their respective States the subject Of
cession. When they pass the Ordinance they have
exercised t air full authority; they can do nothing
more of inheritance bu. must leave legislation to be
attended to by those who shall come after them,
elected for the purpo,e. 1t is WISE of course, rs
no system, he's been matured and adopted by the
several Southern States for their convenience; it is
WISE say, therefore, to continue the present gen
eIsi regulations until proper Congress of the sece
ding States be held when the national authority
will learn to recognize a center of power. and
whatever has to be done by the general Southern
Government can thus be transferred to its new
curators without the inconvenience of a pause or
confusion among the people. Some trouble and
vexation doubt unav odable but if the people
desire new government it should be with strength
of will quite competent to put up with the dis
comforts necessarily attending such a change

NIr. Seward,s snecch-

Many of those having anti-States Rights-coercion
doctrines have been saying wait until we hear
from Mr.. SEWARD and all will be well" The very
suggestion that the South is dependent upon WM II.
SEWARD for the maintenance and preservation of her
rights is hamilistihg in the extreme But we have
waited and the Geographic synopsis of the Black
Republican Secretary Of State has been received
and learn that he is willing that the Constitution
should be so amended that Congress should not have
the power to abolish or interfere with slavery in
the States. What condescension on the part of Mr..
SEWARD He is a worse Black Republican than we
had supposed. He is willing that the notification
laws of the North should be repealed but he wants
the laws Of the Southern States also repealed which
in his opinion contrayene the rights of "freemen."
SEWARD abhsrs civil war, but he does not agree with
hose who desire to avoid the calamity by divsing
a convention for separation who favored
unopposed separation. Mr.. SEWARD, we see that
YOU and your State are for war. The South pre-
seuts YOU peace, if you prefer war, choose it.

WHEREAS the election of Abraham Lincoln and
Hannibal Hamlih to the offices of President and
Vice President of the United States of America,

the people of the State of Alabama, following upon
the heels of many and dangerous nfractions of the
Constitution of the United States by many of the
States and people Of the Northern section, is PO-
litical wrong of so insulting and menacing charac-

for their future peace and security wherefore:
Be it declared and ordained by the people of the
State of Alabama in Convention assembled, That the

Be it also resolved, by the people of Alabama,
in Convention assembled. That the people of the

GREELEY in the 7ritpne of the It'll, publishes a
lengthy letter from himself to Mr.. Crittenden. In
it he says: .aas .ssfas
The people of the Free States feel sure that were
the people of the Slave States in the average,
ightened, and as just as you are, the dangers now
impending might be dispeled or averted. Never
theless they do not and will not assent to the COM
promise proposed by you--thati is Xed fact. Here
and there one who shared their convictions but
only affected them, in order to get himself elected
10 some high office, who owns real estate IN ash
ngton City and feels that it is likely to be ruined by
Disunion or who has great Railroad contract in
broken by the depreciation of that States bonds, or
who is lame duck in the Stock Market, and hopes
70 win back ell that he has lost andmore with it, If
compronlise can be fixed up, may aecede to your
proect or to something equivalent; but nnety-nine
of every hundred Republicans, are opposed to any
such bargain, and will not be concluded by 1t If,
made.
Yor would not expect Republicans to vote for
your project, if there were no threats ana no dan
ger of disunion violent resistance TO Mr. Llncons
rule and you must not hope TO extortt from our fears
what YOU could not expect us TO concede from
sense of Justice You do not mean to degrade us
but your proposition, if accepted. woulc have that
effect; and YOU must allow us to Judge what IS Que
to our own honor. We
regard it as dictate Of conscience Mr.. Webster
taught us-that we should never consent 10 an ex-
tension of the area Of slavery We mean TO De
faithful TO that conviction.
Mr. Crittenden the people of the free States, with
every respect for you propose to stand by the Con
stituon as it is to respect the rightful authorities,
State and Federal; to let Congress enact such laws
as 70 the majority shall good and to back the
Executive in enforcing those laws and maintaining
the integrity Of the Union.

The Differencc.

There are some who believe-hope, rather-that
1t is still possible to secure such an amendment to
the Constitutions as will fully recognize all rights,
and still possible to revolutionize public opinion
at the North as 10 secure the harmonious enforce
ment of those rights wherever the jurisdiction of
the Government extends. These are, therefore,
willing to wait yet awhile longer Others have lost
all hone Of such adjustment; and believe that
sound Motley dictates the necessity of standing i'm
movably upon our reserved rights, before the army
and navy. and treasury, and all the vast machinery
of government shall have passed into the hands Of
our enemies.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1861-01-15
ArrnenlenI.

Allmen in Tennessee agree in this: That we must
have our rights that under the Northern interpre-
tation Of the Constitution this is no longer rosslble
TO procure these it is indispensable to amend the
Constitution; that no amendment would or ought TO
be accepted which does not distinctly recognize the
right of property in slaves, and the duty of the
general government to protect it as other property
wherever its jurisdiction extends. 1t must be such
an amendment as will make an end once and forever
of the slavery question, an element of political
agitation. There is no party or faction of party
Tat will accent any thing less.
