The May Convention.

Events arc rapidly tending to draw
the line between the real and the pre-
tended friends of the Union. Those who
are anxiously solicitous for the preserva-
ton of the government. as our fathers
made it, must make choice between an
unconditional union party and qualified
or straightout secession party. From
every view we can take of the subject
at this time We are not slow to say when
this issue is presented we are for the
Union party without an it,
1t would perhaps be as we'll for our
readers to bear in mind the fact that an
unconditional Union Convention has al
ready been called to meet in Bait, on
the End of May next, and unless the u.
MON men of Allegany should think the
time too limited, it would be well for
them to take steps in their respective
districts for a suitable response from this
the strongest union county in the State.
We are however strongly inclined to
think the time for holding the proposed
convention should be deferred to more
distant period. Indeed we believe it
will be found necessary to do SO.
In our next issue we may be prepared
to speak more definitely upon the matter.

Of which the following is a synopsis:
Resolved by the assembly, The Senate concur
ing, First, The withdrawal of the State from
its membership and obligations in the FEEDER
al Union in defiance Of the General Govern
ment, can only be accomplished by a sue
cessful resistance to the whole power of the
United States. Second, Decent respect to
the opinions Of the people of the civilized
world. and the instinct of preservation,
demands that the United States Government
should Use all the power necessary to enforce
obedience to its laws and to protect its prop
erty Third, The people of the State Of Cal
ifornia will sustain and uphold the constitu-
tlonally elected officers Of the United States
Government in all constitutional efforts to
preserve the integrity of the Union, and to
enforce obedience to the acts of Congress and
the decisions of the Courts. After the laws
have been enforced and the power and au-
thority of the Constitution and Government
of the United States recognized and acknowl-
edged. every feeling Of nationality and broth
crhood demands that such compromises rs
are consistent with justice shall be made for
the purpose Of restoring that harmony which
should chara:t.rise the people OF the COM

State Of Affairs I'm Texas.

A correspondent, who writes to the st
Louis Republican from Austin, on the 18th
ult, pictures a melancholy state Of affairs in
Texas. We quote IN extract from his let
ter.
\ despotism is upon the people. The IL
sual consequences have followed. Trade par
alysed; money out Of the question: many peo-
pie feeling insecure in liberty and estate, and
seeking new homes; the United States army
driven off, our frontier exposed; our internal
Improvements and the cause of education ar
rested. No man can see the end.
You may ask me if the people cannot be
aroused. Look at the state of things lie all
these Confederate States Few presses have
the boldness or independence to speak out
the facts as they are The mails are under
the control of the Disunionists, and nearly
all prominent politicians are in the move
ment, finding their reward as members of
Conventions, military officers, or in the pro.
mise of giving, to everybody, everything, and
making everybody Independent of everybody
else. Large standing armies are being raised;
life tenure in Office is proposed; heavy tar
i'll is grinding us; a government at Montgom-
cay is grinding away without any response
hiity to the people. If liberty survives all
this we shall owe it to good fortune rather than
to the disposition of the leaders or the vigil

Suffering In Mississippi.

The Board of Police met in Rankin coun-
ty on Saturday last to adopt some measures
to relieve the wants of the poor and desti-
tute. Something must be done, and that
speedily or hundreds of our citizens will per-
ish with hunger. We want to see those who
have been denouncing that good and pure
hearted old gentleman, BENZ. Hawkins, and
Boosting that they were willing to give half
they had to the poor, come forward and sub
scribe literally. Will they do it? We will
venture the prediction that one hundred dol
lars will not be subscribed by all that class
o. men in the county. We have heard of a
large number of men who have given up
their crops and gone off to hunt work and
get food for their families. If they had corn
to feed their families and stock they could
make crop and pay for it in the fall
These men do not want it given to them
They only want it ON credit until next fall.
Our old friend, Hiram Jones, informs us
that there is a great deal of restitution in his
neig,borhood, and that unless relief is affor-
ded In the next ten days armed bodies OF
men will take corn by force from those who
have it.
Major Hawkins has returned from Illinois
with $4,000 bushels of corn and 1000 BUSH
els of potatoes, which will be great relief
for the present; but it will last but few
days. One hundred thousand bushels more
is needed, and there is no money here to buy
| it with Let those who are able give libe-
rally Of their means to purchase corn for
the destitute, and let an agent be appointed
to 90 and purchase it. and then let those who
| are able [, make good notes give their notes
to said agent, and let the agent proceed t.

corn on cr,dit. brandon MISS. Republican.

A Federal Court In Alabama.

Our readers are aware that the Presi-
dent has appointed Judge Lane as Uni
ted States district Judge for the North
ern district of Alabama, and he is about
to hold Court in Athens. The North
crn portion of Alabama is strongly union
and opposed to the new government and
i. is very probable he will be sustained
by the people. Judge Lane is well
known as u firm Union man, and in this
carries with him the people of the North
ern portion of the State. He was an
elector Oh the Bell s. Everett ticket at
the last election and on the Taylor tick
ct in 1913. He is a gentleman of the
highest responsibilities son-in-law of

Northern Alabama-is a man of true
pluck, and will exercise the duties of
his office unless prevented by superior

clared that the fugitive slave law ought to

right to it, but the imbecile government of

exists, the United States Marshall at Chicago,
recently appointed by the President, few
days ago, arrested five fugitivcs in Chicago
and quietly returned them to their masters
in Missouri.
This efficiency in the execution Of the law
has created quite a sensation among the

Ben MCul'ohs Scheme--Further par
hculars. What is proposed to do.
We have stated that Major Ben. Nc
Culloh had organized military force fo
the purpose of making a descent oil
Washington.
Further particulars Of this movemen
have come to our knowledge. A Fir
ginia gentleman, now in this city, in
forms us that he had long conversation
with McCulloh a few days since, ant
that the design of attacking the Fedora
Capital was freely avowod by that reck'
less fllibuster. Mccullough, who is
we'll known as Texan ranger of unu-
sual bravery and skill, declared to oul
informant that his sole object in visiting
Maryland and Virginia was the organi.
zation of a military force to be prepared
for instant service as soon as war had &C
tually commenced.
Mccullough stated to our informant,
in the course of frank conversation
that his object in coming from Texas
was to cement and consolidate the seces.
sionist sentiment. He saw an opportu-
nifty for exciting the passions of the dis
contented, and proceeded without delay
to put his scheme in practice He now
declares, in the most positive manner,
that, with the assistance of Governor
Wise and other rank secessionists of the
ultra Virginia school, he has succeeded
in efecting a complete military organi-
cation. The number Of men already
enrolled is FIVE thousand. The order is
that they shall be ready for active ser
vice at a moments notice, and that the
first step will be march upon Washing
ton aud the seizure of the Federal Cap
itol and the archives of the government
at the moment when civil war shall
commence. The active military prcpa-
rations of the government have inspired
McCulloh and his fellow-rebels with the
belief that Adhesive blow is to be struck,
and the opportunity that will then be
offered for display of his force will be
eagerly seized. ~ y Post.
Whether there is truth or not in the
foregoing, we are not prepared to say,
but from the we'll known character Of
McCullogh, aLdi the utter disregard Of
morality and consciousness upon the
part of the ,Secessionists, we think the
fellow should be arrested, as it is well
known that he is prowling about Wash
ington, and can be after no god, but
doubtless mischief We think also that
the government should stop the recruit.

to the seeded states. If the govern

more men or n larger share of the i'm

facture themselves, and if the govern.
ment apprehends in the least, that wal

then it is more imperative upon it to pre-
vent these enlstments and this supp y OF
