only political juggle, intended to Fighter
Northern inen into the cx.ravagant conces-

The Secession Movement.
Secession conventions are now assembled
in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. The
Texas Convention Spontaneously meets to-day
(sth), and the Georgia Convention tomorrow.
Louisiana holds her convention on the 23d
inst, and special sessions Of the Virginia aad
Tennessee Legislatures met yesterday. A
special session of the Kentucky Legislature
will also assemble on the 18th inst. 1t looks
as though all the Cotton States, and probably
North Carolina, will stray away before the 4th
of March. The latest advices leave little
doubt that Georgia, Alabama, Florida and
Mississippi will very shortly follow the exam
pie of South Carolina, and, with such States
to lead them, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas
will hardly be able to resist the current. If
accounts from the South are to be relied upon,
the secessionists carry matters with high
hand, and compel where they can't convince

In the absence of the District Attorney,
the foreman may conduct the examination

ticipate in their examination.
Thus or. anized, you are ready for action.
Every citizen has the right OF free access to
