All interest now centre on she Peace
Conference, as il is now termed here.
Ex-Presideni Tyler, on taking his seat
as President Of the Convention yesterday,
made an eloquent address. He said our
ancestors had made a mistake 10 not hav-
ing fixed every fifth decade for call Of
general convention to oamend the constitute
ZION. On the contrary they had made the
difficulties next 10 inslrmountable to ac-
complish amendments to an instrument
whicl, was perfect forive millions Of pso-
pie, bat not wholly so as to thirty mihisHs.
He thought their patriotism would sur
mount the difficulties, however. If they
would accomplish one triumph in advance.
the triumph over party, the country, res
eued from danger, would send Q long
shout of Joy and gladness.
At the conclusion Of his remarks, she
members hOcked around him with words

The Charleston Courier Of Monday
contains the correspondence between the
the authorities Of S G and the federal
government. The lastleuer Of Mr.. Nc
grath, the S. G. Secretary Of State, 80
Col. Hayne, instructs him to demand of
the President the surrender Of the fort il
held as a means Of warfare, or is sale
if held as properly. On this point Mr..
McGrath says: The opinion Of the Gov
ernor as to the propriety Of the demand
which is contained in the letter with the
delivery Of which you are charged, has
not only been confined with the circum-
stances with which your mission was In
VOWED, but is now increased into q con-
viction Of its necessity. The safety Of
the State requires that the position Of the
President should be distinctly understood.
The safety Of all the seeding States re-
quires it as much as me safety Of South
Carolina. If it 5e so that F. Sumter is .
held but as property, then the rights
whatever they may be Of the q s, canbe
and for the satisfaction Of
those rights, the pledge Of the State Of S
G you are authorized 70 give. If Ft SUM
ter is not held as property, It is held as q
military post, and such post within the
this State will not be tolerated. If he
President refuses TO deliver the fort, You
will communicate that refusal without de-
lay to the Governor. If the President
shall no, be prepared 10 give you an i1-s
mediate answer, you may communicate 90
him that his answer may be transmitted
within a reasonable time 70 the Cover
nor at this place.
