The Southern COnfederacy
Formed. 4.-.

Our dispatches announce that Southern
Confede,aoy has been set up by the Cotton
States in Convention at Montgomery. 1t Is
also announced thst NO propositions for
compromise will be entertained. This con-
firms what we have all along said-that the
ultra men Of the South do not want to COM
promise or remain in the Union. Ono rea-
son why the slave owners are anxious to get
out Of this Republic and form an African
despotism that they oan control is that the
North has far out-stripped them in wealth
and population. This, in their view, is
aggression" Under the census of 1850 all
the Slave States will have but eighty -four
members in the House, while the Free
States will have one hundred and fitty.four
"A majority Of seventy-fous.
If by any reasonable concession short
Of an sbandcnm snt Of principle by the
North, the border States can be induced to,
remain in the Union, we hope it may be
done. The people Of these States mu.t now
see the futility Of insisting on any compro-
mise with . view of reconciling the people
of the seeding States.

the cattle and hogs in his neighborhood are
actually starving The inhabitants are to-

less relief is speedily furnished. The
desperation of despair is seizing upon them.
Their teams are giving out and are too weak
to make their way through the snow. Some
have been four weeks in trying to get from
the Republican Fork to Atchison, and have
turned back disheartened. The population of
Marshall county is about 5000. MIR. Jerome
has hurried to Atchison with all possible
dispatch, fearing that the people on the

can get back with supplies. The condition
of the roads in that region is now SO bad

of the Senate, with recommendation that
it pass. We are pleased also to perceive
that the Commissioners from South Carolina

sent home with fla in their ear and Maj
Anderson instructed to defend it at all haz-

traitors, will have tendency to restore peace
