MUNICIPAL PRESCRIPTION.

The Mayors proclamation of fast to-day,
with the resolutions of the City Councils au
thorizing it, are published in the hstelligencer
of yesterday, and directed to be copied by the
Constitution, the States, and the Star.
The National Republican, which has q
larger circulation in the city than all these
papers combined, with the exception of one,
will, we suppose, be allowed the privilege Of a
gratuitous republication of the Mayors procla-
nation.
We call the attention of the people Of the
city, not merely to this miserable prescription
of Republican journal by our municipal au.
thorities, but to what is much worse than this
prescription, their quasi endorsement Of that
incendiary organ Of secession and revolution,
the Constitution newspaper.

Items Teleeraphed from Washington.

Senator Thomson has returned from New
Jersey, and says the sentiment there among all
parties is decided for maintaining the Union
and laws against all reasonable conspiracies.
He thinks any number of volunteers could be
obtained for that purpose.
The steamship Isabel, plying between
Charleston and Havana, via Key West, will be
relieved of the forty thousand dollars Govern.
ment compensation for carrying the mails to
Key West after the present month. 1t is un.
derstood here that the Isabel, which was built
for a war steamer, with mercantile proclivities,
is already under the control of the South Caro-
lima Government, and is armed and equipped
for naval service.
The South Carolina Commissioners talk Of
sinking ships at the entrance Of the harbor Of
Charleston, after the manner of the Russians
at Sebastopol, to protect their chief maritime
city from hostile visitation.

THE BALTIMORE SUN.

We again call the attention of .he citizens Of
this city and District, not to the disunon treach
cry of the Baltimore Sun, now unmasked and
known Of all men, but to the individual duty
of every person in this community, to do what
in him lies to diminish its powers Of mischief.
Touch not, taste not, handle not, was the battle
cry of the pioneers in the temperance cause.
The spirit Of It should be applied to this trai.
torous Sun, by the Union.loving citizens of the
District Of Columbia. Don't subscribe for it,
don't advertise in it, don't read it, and warn all
your neighbors not to read it. As the old
temperance orators used to recommend various
substitutes for rum, get the news somewhere
else. If you are Democrat, and can't bear
the "abolition Of the Republican, or the con.
servatism of the Intelligencer, wait till after.
noon, and buy the States, or Star, but in no
event, and upon no temptation, touch this
Baltimore Sun.

THE WHITE MECHANICS OF THE SOUTH PLOT.
TING AGAINST SLAVE LABOR. - The Sumter
(Gs.) Republican states that considerable ex.
citement was created there a week or two
since by the discovery Of society of me-
chanics who were concerting measures for dri.
wing the negroes from all employment except
the cotton field, and also, it is alleged, for OBJ.
tanning work and food by force. The person
at the head Of the movement was man named
William B. Hall, who organized "poor mans
society,"" under the guise Of Mechanics Socie-
ty. He succeeded in getting a number of
workmen to join him, but his plans were divulg.
ed by some leaky member, when some Of the
leading mechanics called the attention of the
citizens to the matter, and an investigation was
had. The result was, that Hall and two of his
confederates, Thomas Faircloth and William
Griffin, we're ordered to leave the place i'm.
mediately. This is very characteristic way
of settling the irrepressible conflict between
slave labor and free labor"

THE SENATE YESTERDAY.

Col. BAKER concluded his speech commenced
the day before. He met the numerous inter
ruptions and questions from the other side, with
a readiness and tact which establish his posi-.
ton a. an effective debater. a
Judge DoueLAs followed in lengthy
speech, having many and contradictory aspects,
but the general effect Of which was felt to be
encouraging to the revolutionary movements
in progress. Denying the right of secession,
admitting in theory that the power to coerce is
necessary attribute Of Government, and pre-.
senting strongly and even eloquently the neces
sities which compel the West TO insist upon its
natural outlet to the Gulf, he more than de-
stroyed the effect of all these positions, by in.
ssting that it was practically impossible to
overcome the resistance of States, and that
nothing was left as q remedy, but the absolute
surrender by the free States of all their prin.
ciples. Such surrender, which he declared
himself always ready cheerfully to make, he did
not seem to believe could possibly be regarded
by anybody else as q serious sacrifice. Judge
Douglas was very severe upon the Republicans,
and imputed to them designs, which, if actually
cherished by them, justify the secession which
is menaced.
2 Judge Douglas did not forget, in the course
Of his speech, to devote q large share Of time to
the vindication of the great principle" Of
popular sovereignty, now become, in an import
ant sense, his personal property. If he shall
ever die, which we trust may not happen for
many years, he will have deserved this epitaph I:
Here lies the author Of great principle,
which he invented for All occasion, abandoned
whenever it suited his purposes, and which he
continued to make puzzle equally to his enc.
mics and his friends. The secret died with him,
and is forever lost to mankind.

home yesterday morning, the President, on

their communication of that day, as being of a
character not fit to be considered by him. 1t

President of violating pledges, &c. The friends
of the Commissioners deny that it was insult.
ing. But at any rate, negotiation is at an end,

A NEW YORK PLAN OF SECESSION

A NEW 1Ohh PLAN Of SECEoSlON.
The New York Herald of yesterday, in
double-leaded article, gives the following plan
Of secession:
"The people of South Carolina, in common
with our Southern brethren generally, have
Just causes of complaint against the anti sla.
very spirit and power Of the North. But there
is O way of redress, even in the resort to seces.
sion, without resorting to war. Let all the
Southern Ststes for instance, meet together in
Convention, and adopt such amendments to the
Federal Constitution as they may think jndis-
pensable to their future security and welfare,
and upon this basis let them form new Union.
Let it at first be limited to the Southern States,
but open to all the other States on the condi
ton Of the adoption by each of this new Con-
sttution, and we will answer for the best re-
suits.
"We believe that Southern movement Of
this comprehensive character would soon bring
the Central States and the Western States into
happy accord with the Southern States. The
New England States might hold out, and the
best thing that could be done with them would
probably be to assist them in the experiment
Of little Puritanical Confederacy all to them
selves"

SrRAws, Ero.-Mr. Spinola, Democratic
demagogue, has offered resolutions in the New
York Legislature, denouncing the conduct of
South Carolina IS reasonable, and proposing
to appropriate ten millions, to arm New York.
As nobody proposes to attack New York, the
armng is about as necessary as a second tail
to cat. But the proposition shows which way
the popular wind blows. The North is rapidly
becoming unit upon the vital question of sus.
