CoNcEssIoN.-P and W. met on Main
St., the other day just after fresh batch
of "crisis" news had come in, and says P:
81 have been studying hard to think what
concessions we can make to the South more
than we have already made. We have con-
ceded everything demanded, and everything
imaginable. We have granted oil they
asked of us politically, and as to social
compromises, we have sent them preachers
to tar and feather-we have sent them
"school masters" to insult and imprison; !;
we have-in fact l don't know what we
could do for them that We have not done
and overdone."
"But have thought Of one more con-
cession I suppose we might MAKE says W.
sand what is thats" anxiously de-
mands P. -. -.. ..r,
q uYou observed the item in this mornings
naper, that they barreled up an A5oii!ionist,
and rolled him into the Mississippi river
the other day!"
ayes well 2"
"Well, if that thing is to be continued, it
will cost them considerable for cooperage.
Don't you think we ought 10 make one more
concession, just for the sake of fraternal
peace, and-furnish them with barrels!"

What the Southern C0nfedera.
CIV PrODOSe to do. ,

Senator Slidell is one of the shrewdest
and ablest of the seeding Senators, and
can speak of the Gulf States with perhaps
more authority than any other man. In
his farewell speech to the Senate he said /:
ave will adopt all laws not locally in
applicable or incompatible with our new
relations; we will recognize the obligations
of all existing treaties-those respecting
the African Slave trade included. We
shall be prepared to assume our Just pro-
portion Of the national debt; to account
for the cost Of all the fort and other pro-
perty of the United States, aohich we haze
been compelled to seize IN sell defence, if it
should appear that our share of such ex-
penditure has been greater than in other
sections,' and, above all, we shall, as well
from the dictates of natural justice and the
principles of international law as of politi-
cal and geographical affinities and Of mu-
tual pecuniary interests, recognise the right
of the inhabitants of the valley of the
Mississippi and its tributaries to its free
navigation; we wiN guarantee to them a
free Interchange of all agricultural pro.

Constitution of the Southern
C0nfederacy.
MONTGOMERY, n


The injunction of secrecry having been
removed therefrom, we are enabled to send
a synopsis of the Permanent Constitution.
The following are its principal features:
No person who is foreign, and not a cit
izen of the Confederate States, is allowed
to vote for any officer, civil or political
State or Federal.
Under the first census, South Carolina
is entitled to five representatives in Con-
gress, Georgia ten, Alabama nine, Florida
two, Mississippi seven, Louisiana six, Tex
as six, and each State two Senators.
The State Legislature may impeach ju-
dicial or federal officers, resident Or acting
in said State, by two-thirds vote. Both
Houses of Congress may grant seats on
the floor 10 either of the principle officers
of each of the Executive Departments, while
with the privilege of discussing the meas
ures of his department.
Representation on the basis or three
fifths for slaves is continued. ri"
Congress is not allowed through duties
to foster any branch of industry.
The foreign slave trade is prohibited.
Congress is prohibited from making ap-
preparations unless by vote of two-thirds
of both Houses except the appropriations be
asked 10y the heads of some departments
or the President. Extra compensations is
to be allowed to any contractor, officer or
agent after the contract is made or the ser
vice rendered. .,

The Admission of New Mexico

The Kennebec Journal, the Republican
organ at the capital of Maine, says Febru-
ary 9th: s. a '-
"Charles Francis Adams, has made a
very able and statemanlike speech in the
National House of Representatives on the
pending issues. We can see no objections
to his plan of admitting New Mexico as a
State. Taylor's Administration was in ia
vor of similar action more than ten years
since, and that policy was then satisfactory
to large majority of the people of the
North, while it met the bitter hostility of
the dangerous men of the South. The
measure does not conflict with the Chica-
90 platform, nor with the views of a major
ity of men who voted for Douglas in Noy.
The platform of the Bell and Everett par
ty is not adverse to it, and why should it
rot be the bond of harmonious action of
all true friends of the Union to prevent the
Breckenridge platform being forced into
the Constitution of the United States,
to resist the whole batch of traitorous
schemes of the Disunionists? While we
can see no substantial objections to Adams
plan, we confess to preference to the in
auguration of Abrham Lincoln, without
any other terms and conditions than the
Constitution and the Laws Just as Mey
are"

Mai.sAnderson's Programme.

The Charleston correspondent of the N.
Y. IGmes,in late letter says:
As there is, of course great deal of Gu
riosity as to what Maj. Anderson will do in
case of war being declared, 1 will give a
programme as disclosed to me by gentle
man of such position in society here,
both in public and private, that deem it
eminently reliable. The gentleman says
be heard it in such a way some time since,
coming from one of the officers now at the
famous fortress, that he believes it will be
carried out to the letter.
The battery on Comming's Point, Nor
ris Island, being now considered impregna-
bic, although distant only three-quarters of
a mile, and Fort johnson being also in
such position that he cannot effect much
there, he will be forced to allow them to
fire at his weak (land) side, where the walls
are only four feet thick, while he will turn
the guns of the other side of the pentagon
against Fort Moultrie, and destroy all the
houses on Sullivan's Island. This side will
stand an assault for weeks, as the walls
looking seaward are twelue feet thick. The
slaughter on Sullivan's Island viii be fear
full, with his terrible Columbiads pointing
there, and the men of that place (three
thousand) will be fearful cut up. Dana
ges by day will be repaired at night. As
dernier resort, if reinforcements do not
come, he will point the long range Colum-
biads at Charleston, and shell the city
This he thinks will bring about truce,
anda capitulation of some kind will be
entered into, which will result in an honor
able Withdrawing, or a more terrible CON-
mencement anew, when the motto will be
no quarter. But, adds my informant, Ma
jor Anderson will never surrender the Fort
except under the most explicit instructions.
Rather than do this, he himself wW fire
the mine a0hich wiU send to eternity him
self and every one of has companions.
Judge, from all 1 can elicit through
diligent inquiry, that by the 4th of March
there will be in Charleston and the points
that protect the city, full ten thousand men,
and o7er one hundred pieces of the most
approved kind of ordnance. I really am
at loss to know why they concentrate so
many troops at the island-5,OOO men are
surely not required to man seventy guns,
the present number-but volunteers pour
in, and as they come they are sent down.
while every day you meet with heavy
baggage-wagons, loaded down with stores
from the Quartermasters Department.
Castle Pinckney will shortly have sham
fight with the iron-plated floating battery.
to test its mettle. --

~The dangerous tendency toward a
despotic government is more evident, the
more closely we inspect the Constitution
of the Confederate States. The I'd sec
tion of article 2 provides that "the Presi-
dent and Vice President shall be elected
by ballot by States represented in the
Congress, each State casting one vote, and
a majority of the whole being required to
elect;;" and section l of article five says
"the Congress may, by vote of two-thirds
any time alter or amend this Constitution"
Now, there are six States in the Confede-
racy, any four of which being a majority,
will also constitute two-thirds vote, so
that four States can change the entire gov
ernment from representative republic to
a monarchy, or whatever else is deemed
best. We think South Carolina and
Georgia will find themselves in very tight
place when the fight comes off between
the Atlantic seaports and the Gulf and
Mississippi river cities for maritime ascen-
dancy. 1t has already been commenced
by proposition TO abolish all the interior
custom-bou offices, such as Augusta, Ma
con, and A tlanta, and should Kentucky Sc
cede, Louisville too, would cease to be a
port of delivery.-Loui sville Jour.

POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS IN THE SOUTH
ERN CoNFEDERACY.-On the 25th ult.,
the committee on postal affairs made re-
port to the Congress. The expenses, over
and above receipts, for the post office SER
vice in the six States composing the Con
federacy, were for the year ending June
80. 1859, $1,65O, ,595 S3. The commit
tee recommend an increase of postage
rates, by which they estimate an increase
of s57s,s74 S3. They also recommed
new mode of letting contracts-on what
is called the "star bid system, by which it
is hoped to save s619,O33. Some routes
are to be discontinued, by which s2O6, ,344
will be saved. Daily service is, in some
cases, 10 be changed to tri-weekly, and
thus another S2O6, ,344 will be saved. Mi
nor post offices will be abolished, and $780,
900 saved. The savings and the expected
increase are estimated by the committee
to cover the deficiency. Present mail con-
tracts are to be assumed by the gov
ernment until all the routes are re-let.
The rates of postage proposed are, on
each letter of half an ounce or less, five
cents for five hundred miles, and ten cents
for over five hundred miles; drop and ad-
vertised letters two cents. Newspaper
postage is put at varying but not high
rates. Stamps are to be used. The frank
ing privilege is abolished except in the case
of Post Office Department. Letter reg
istration is repealed. e'e.

TAXATION AT CHARLEsToN.-The City
Councils of Charleston have passed to the
point of ratification, bill for taxing per-
sons and property to frightful amount
$3.50 on every hundred dollars of real and
leased property-the same on all goods
and merchandize-s2,5O So on every 500
of interest on any abligations-the same
on every s1OO of dividends on stock-s2
a head on slaves-s3O on every four wheel
coach, for two horses-s2O and SIS on
other vehicles $3.50 on every 500 of
income and of profits on last year-the
same amount on all commissions-S1, ,25
on every 800 of insurance premiums-5o
cents on gas stocks-75 cents on every
500 invested in shipping-s1O for every
horse or mule-s2 on each dog-s2,5O

for every slave brought in for sale-every
free negro $40, within certain ages, or SIS
or S3, if females. Pedlers are to give
penal bonds in $1,000 to make true returns,

things, and no community could stand the
the load, except they were slaves.

New YORK, March II.
The Tribune's Washington correspon-

D. W. c. Littlejohn, Speaker of the House
of Assembly of New York State, has
been appointed Consulat Liverpool, and
that Mr.. Vesey, formerly Consul at Havre,
has been appointed Consul at AK la Chap
Chapelle.
Com. Stewart has rendered his resig-
nation as the Flag officer of the Navy
He takes occasion to review the proceed
ings of the memorable Board which dis
missed him, with much feeling and effect.
Of course the resignation will not be ac-
cepted, and the Secretary will doubtless
make the occasion of complimentary re-
quest for his continuance in the service.

W,su1NcroN March. IL.

Tribune's correspondence says the ru-
mors about Fort Pickens being given up,
are entirely unfounded. This fortress can
be reinforced, and it will be. -
An extra session of Congress is likely
to be soon called to supply the omission of
the last, and enable the administration to
assert the authority of the government.
The policy will probably be to repeal
the laws making the ports of the seceed-
ing States ports of foreign entry, and to
station national vessels there at torprevent
foreign importations. The forts at Key
West and Tortugas cannot be given up, be-
cause they may be easily reinforced, and
are of national Importance in a military
and commercial aspect. Fort Sumter In
wolves point of honor only. . .'
