TIE Governor of Rhode Island, WILLIAM SpRAGUE, having been interrogated in regard to what his State intended to do concerning the odious and unjust Personal Liberty Bills which has been enrolled upon her statute books, makes the following answer through the Providence press, to his questions, who, it seems is a citizen of Maryland: "The Gov ernor of Rhode Island goes heart and hand for the repeal of the so-called Personal lib erty Bills of his State though they are uncon- stitutional only in spirit. The Legislature, which meets in January, will, without hesita- ton. repeal them; not from fear CT cowardice, but from a brave determination, in face of threats and sneers, to live up to the Constitu- ton and all its guaranties the better to testify their love for the Union, and the tirmer to exact allegiance to it from all others" We hope sincerely, that other States will soon follow in the brave footsteps of Governor Sprague, and wipe from their records the causes of our national troubles The EXecu- tive of little Rhode Island has proven himself to be a noble Roman" and q man who reflects honor upon the position which the people of his State have assigned him.

 SOUTH CAROLINA has asserted her right of secession, and las whrled herself out of the Contederacy without even passing the compliments of the season with her sister slaveholding States As Levers inimitable Mickey Free would remark: " she has passed us by without ever saying good morning, d-m your sowl or any other common polite ness" And after So doing, South Carolina has found that as surely after death comes the judgment" so surely after nasty separate State action" has come troubles which were not thought of in the confusion and war cry for :" secession" The Palmetto State, some months ago, made an inyiolable vow, by the Styx that she was going out of the Union; and out she has gone, 1t seems, without ever considering anything further than the mere idea of an exodus" Her Convention, for the past several days, after saying that South Carolina has established the fright" of secession. have been discuss ing Bulwers novelstic question of what will he do with it? Her posts are in danger of being closed for want of authorized off cers, and her postal system threatens to stop from a similar reason. Differences of opinion exist between the members of the convention as to how these difficulties can be gotten over, and no two of these seem to think alike in regard to anything. Some of them denounce the Constitution of the United States as unfit to be adopted by them in their posi- ton of Southern Independency, and want to mske another which will be much better than the one formed by Mr. MADISON and his com patriots, while others say even that {" for many purposes the Union has worked well" Another one Of them makes use Of the follow ing fearfully significant language: !" We have pulled down the temple which has been built three-quarters of century. We must clear the rubbish away and reconstruct another. We are houseless and homeless, and must screen ourselves from the storms" But the deed Is done, and South Carolina is past reap ing any benefit from her own experience; but other Southern States can read the rashness of her separate State action," and profit by the chapter Then, we devoutly pray, that whatever course is to be pursued by the remaining slaye-holding States, it will not be fragmentary like the one which the "Hot- spur" of the once-Union has worked out. but that they shall have "pull altogether" in whatever direction their calm and guided wisdom nay determine

ETHER OF HON. FK, c. RITES ON THE
 ST4TE OF THE UNION.

We make the following extracts from the letter of the Hon. Wm. C. Riyes to MT. Bo- teller. The letter was published in The Wash ington Intelligencer of the 14th inst, and IS on the present political issues of the day,
 Mr. Rives approves of general States Con vention, and speaking of the guarantees ot the Constitution, says:
 'There are few, if any, among us who do not feel and acknowledge that the ConstitU- ton of the United States, if honestly and faithfully pursued in its letter and spirit affords every desirable guarantee for the rights and liberties of all the parties to it. lie regrets that the provisos of the Consti- tution have not been carried out in the spirit that actuated its tramers.
 He enumeratos as follows, the impartial concessions that would satisfy the South, viz:
 The equal rights of the States i'll the common territories of the Union the mnunl- ty of their domestic institutions from all eX- ternal control. the surrender of tugtiyes from service and the adherence to fundamental principles of the constitutional compact, which, however clear in theory, are practically denied in various quarters, and call for new and unequivocal securities for their tuturs observance
 These, he adds, if guaranteed to the South crn States, would avert the impending danger, and such concessions as these can only bring peace to the disturbed conlederacy. He con cludes in the following remarks
 Il have ever believed that if unhappily in a contingency, owing to the centrifugal and ia.r.ng tendencies al.etimes manifested by ,he States at thcextrcmitie, of the ConIedcra- cy-our present glorious Union should be broken up, the States occupying the central belt of the continent, from ocean to ocean, including those of the valley of the Nississip- pi, would still hold together, and keep alive, with beftting dignity and power, the ancient name and proud traditions of the United States of America, and perhaps, in the end, win back to the fold those who might have temporarily strayel from it.
 All events l sec no rcasen to dispair of the early success of the work of cancellation inaugu4tod by your proposition, if pro~ecut- cI in the right spirit; and when harmony and a good understanding shall have been established among them, lthc great central States of the Contedeacy,) what rational motive can be felt by q few isolated States whether at the North or the South. to stand aloof in SulIen contumacy CT unproftablo dis- content'

 SENATOR ANDREW JOHNSON, of Tennes- see, has made speech in the United States Senate, in which he is reported to have said that the Federal Government should exercise the power of coercion towards the people of any State who claimed or shall claim the practical right of withdrawing from the gen. eral government and disregarding its laws The Southern secession papers have poured upon him their yials of vituperatye wrath and consigned him place. in the estimation of the Southern people by the side of BENE- DICT ARNOLD. While we, with the rest of our party, have ever been opposed to him as a political leader worthy to be elevated to places of power and influence, wo have never regarded him as being personally insincere and dishonest, and cannot now hurlat him the epithets of cxecration and contempt which many of our warm-blooded friends are doing. on account of the speech in question, however much we may dissent from its doctrine We think, with MR. BUCHANAN that no State has the right to separately withdraw herself from the compact until the Constitution has been violated, and dangerous and palpablc misuse or abuse of the powers delegated to the Federal head has been exercscd and should State do so, as in the instance of South Carolina, We also doubt, with the Pres ident, if Congress has the authority to make war upon the people of such State to bring them back again to alIegience; and further more, if such power of coercion does exist, we believe 1t would be fatal, and fall far of its mark to attempt its use. We are so far. however, from the ultra " States Right" doctrine, as we believe many hundreds in this State are, that we think, under certain cir cumstanccs, the Federal Government has the undoubted power to coerce" the carrying ont of a law which is beyond doubt consti- tutional one as in the instance of the Fug- tive Slave Act. Certainly, no ccnsure dwells in any Southern mind for Mir. FILLMORE because he once enforced it among 2 robellious set or people in Northern State, even at the cannon's mouth" But in the case of a State which has already seeded from the Union, after solemn deIiberation, casting away its benefits and its convenionces, as well as recalling her allegiance-the question is widely different" and the policy of letting her alone would be far the wisest and the best
 If Senator JOHNSON has given utterance to the language attributed to him, in regard to coercing 9 seeding State, he has acted unwisely, though We are willing to believe that his conclusion as to the duty and power of Congress, in such case, has been as hon estly arrived at as that of any wAo differ from

How THE WAR WILL BE CARRIED oN- We give below an extract from a letter from Washington, dated on the 10th inst Speak ing of the Scccs-ion;4ts. the writer says
 The moment they set themselves up to defy the laws of the Union, and to open their free ports, they will invite a cloud of priyatcers to the conflict New England and New York, who are to be sacrificed to the grasping spirit of the Southern managers, will no doubt, defend themselves to the uttomost; and if war should result, as in my opinion 1t must, unless q speedy adjust ment takes place. every vessel clearing from disunion port will become lawful prize and thus the cotton intended to maintain the new Contederacy will De captured and carried to Liverpool or the free States and disposed of. The wise and experienced men who have allowed themselves to be carried of by the ultra mischief-makers are carefully calculat- ing the cost of the experiment they are about to adventure upon

TIE PERILs or INDEpENDENcE-T The people of South Carolina will soon discover the perils of their isolation The Charleston Mercury has had is attention directed to a very grave one-the exposed condition of the South Carolina coast It says:
 From the open and accessible character of our coast, some persons fear that we will be soon subject to predatory incursions. The Northern soaports abound in lawless and reckless population, many of them accustomed to maratime pursuits. They are fast feeling the rascalty which has controlled the politics of the North. Want of employment and its attending destitution are ripening them for any mischief. South Carolina will soon be a foreign and hostile region in their estimation, and the cause of their present sufierngs Some of them may seek both plunder and revenge, by making buccaneering raids on the most exposed and defenselcss part of our coast.

 Is IT A CAUSE OF JoY.-Ihe depressed feelings of our community, says The Mem phis Bulletin, have been most gr.cyously shocked by q demonstration of joy in the contemplation of a severed Union-the firing of salute in honor of the secession of South Carolina. It seems most strange that the supposed destruction of this government can afford pleasure The Wilmington (North CaroIna) Journal, in commenting on a similar demonstration in that city, most port;ncntIy asks:
 "Is the spectacle of peorIe~a happy prosperous peopie--->uddenly plunged into financial distress and ruin with tamiiie, of helpless women children unexpectedly turned out of comfortable homes to starye or freeze in the streets, calculated to gladden. the heart of any civilized christian human being Does the prospect of great bcnciiccnt and powerful government struggling in the thloc, of d.ssolution---of nation threatened with bankruptcy civil war, and anarchy inspire any breast, no, dead t9 every feeling ~. humanity, with lAa slightest emotion If glaI- ness?

After the adoption of these, Ex-Goy- ernor NEIL s. BROWN was introduced, when he addressed the meeting in one of the most patriotic, manly and wel-timed speeches we have ever seen upon the present distracted condition of the country, and the duty of all who loved the land of their birth, and desired peace and prospaity to discord and civil strife. He believes that by a proper and unprecipitate action the troubles which now oyershadow us may be removed and cleared from the horizon forever. He had during the past canvass for the Presidency spent several weeks at the North, and knows the feeling of large portion of the people in regard to the rights of the South. There are a million of people in the North who are true, and loyal to the interests of the South as we ourselves He wanted every honorable effort, in the power of the people, to be made in order to pre- vent nasty demolition of the fairest gov ernmental fabric ever constructed. If that should fail, then he wanted united South to declare itself severed from a people who should be brothers, but had proved hostile foes. When all means of having the agi- tation now existing allayed, have been ex- hausted, without success, then the time would have arrived for secession, but not before
