The Aroh.AIifafOr.

Stephen A. Douglas, who commenced the
disastrous agitation of the Slavery question
BY his infamous Nebraska Bill, and who has
time and again charged our present Difficult.
ties upon the Republican party, is before
the country once more witha melsure which
hs has digni6ed with the speculation Of q
Compromise. 1t is that Slavery in the Ter.
ritories and all legislation thereon shall be q
judicial question-in other words, to trans
fer legislative power to the judiciary, thus
putting the cart before the horse. This is a
monstrosity which Mr.. Douglas repudiated
when it came to be put in operation under
Mr.. Buchanan. and which the people en-
phatically repudisted at the last Presidential
election.
He makes smother proposition, to have
the President elected for six years, aud incl
igible thereafter. Four years is long time
for the people to endure President whom
they dislike. II he suits the people, they are
competent to re.elect him. But this meas
IRE proposes to deprive the people of the
radiance of bad President for two years,
and Of the right to re-eleot q good one.-
Every measure proposed in this crisis is to
tie up the people in some way, as If they
| were the only thing to be feared in this
Government.
fsny evidence were needed of the folly
Of altering the Constitution to suit the de.
mands of armed rebellion, It can be found
abandantly IL the various propositions
which have been made for that purpose.

RICHMOND, Va Jan. 9

RICHMOND, Va, Jan y.
Intelligence has reached here that previous
to the passage of the Georgia ordlnsnce of
secession, Harrison w. Rely, prominent
citizen of the mountain region of that State
proclaimed in another portion Of Georgia
that he was on his way home, and intended
to raise party and take possession of the
U. s. Mint at Dahlonega. for the United
States government, in case Georgia passed
secession ordinance. His declaration caused
considerable excitement in Miiiedreyille and
the Governor was requested to send ilita-
ry force to Dahlonega, but had rot done so
at last accounts. On tie same Authority az
the above we learn that there is consdera-
BILE Union element in the mountains of
Georgia, and an anti secession meeting vas
held in Pickens county. When they heard of
the passage Of the secession ordinance, the
old stars and stripes were run up and the
demonstrations of resistance to secession
were emphatic and unequivocal. The i'm
preston, however, at Milledgeville was that
the people of Georgia will generally sustain
the ordinance Of secession and cooperate in
the formation of Southern Cotton States
Republic.

The CEITrENDsN AAENDxsNr.-The New
York Hera1d's correspondent at Frankfort,
Kentucky. speaking OF the Crittenden propo-
sition, says:
"This is essentially Mr.. Breck;nr;dge's own
proposition, as state now to you, from the
best personal authority, what is generally
known here, that the Crittenden amendment,
so called, was drawn up by Mr.. Breckinri, &c
and NJ c. johnson, Esq, of this city, prior to
the departure of the former for Washington,
and by him taken on and entrusted to Mr..
Crittendsn. This you may rely on as
authentic beyond question"
This corresponds with what we have be-
lieved from the first-that this plan had its
origin in the Breckenridge school of politics,
and that Mr.. Crittenden was made instru-
mental in bringing it forward in order to give
it the benefit Of his patriotic and conservative
lend it the color of moderation,
and commit the border slave States to its
support. 1t is in spirit and substance equiv.
alent to Territorial slave code.

Coercion.

The term coercion" Is applied to the
seeding States, has been Intentionally or ig-
aorantly misreprssented. Mr.. Wallace makes
uss Of it in his communication published
in Daily in sense to indicate that it means
tho use Of force to whip these States in. The
Republican party, whom it urges coercion,
means only the enforcement of the Federal
laws. If our memory serves US correctly,
Mr.. Wallace and those who pin their faith to
his sleeve were vocifereus, only few months
since, for the same end-in fact, they con-
Quoted the late political campaign on the
simple platform Of 1.-THE Constitution and the
enforcement of the laws" It was a good
platform, and had our hearty endorsement sc
far as it went. Were they in earnest then,
or did they only mean to enforce the laws
against the people Of the North, and permit
those Of the South to 60 unpunisheds
We are in favor Of that kind of coercion
which will secure the enforcement Of. the
Federal laws in collection of revenue from
vessels entering the ports, and cut off the
mail facilities At the line of the seeding States
No man supposes the Federal Government
should keep up the mail facilities in such
States BY an armed force. The mails are fol
the special benefit Of the c;tissns Of those
States, and less Of interest to the Fedora
Government than to such citizens.

AJUe-HANDLE QUEsr1oN.-The question
as to guarantees for the rights of the South
are like the handle of jug-all on one side.
In all the discussions on this subject we do
not see that a syllable has been uttered by
the South as to affording protection to Nor
therners residing or travelingin slave States.
Now and then we hear of mob in a free
State rcscuing fugitive slave, and half the
present clamor has its origin in these excep-
tional cases. But it is Of daily occurrence
that mechanics, business men, teachers,
women, and even helpless invalids from the
North are driven from Slave States, after
receiving the most shameless indignities ;
and yet not Southerner raises his voice in
assurance to the North that such outrages
shall be redressed. Have Nertherners no
rights thatSoutherners are bound to respect2

~ Six States will be represented in the
Southern Secession Convention at Montgom-
cry, Alabama, February 4th. twill probably
adjourn to meet February Goth, so as to give
time to Virginia and other States to join the
movement. This is a good sign, as every
delay helps kill secession. The continued
firm and patriotic course of Gov. Hicks, who
stands as breakwater between Maryland and
disunion, excites the warmest admiration Of
all lovers of the country, and draws down
upon him the fierce wrath Of the secessionists.

The Base Betrayal Of Principle.

The Base Betrayal Of Principle.
We must again call the attention of the
Douglasites hereaway, who are anti-coercion-
lists, to the inconsistency of the present
position of their leader and themselves. The
Philadelphia Mercury popular Sovereignty
Democracy sets the subject in its true light as
follows:
sand then contemplate the extraordinary
change of front by Mr.. Stephen A. Douglas.
Coercion was a sound and glorious doctrine
to preach at Norfolk, Virginia, during the
heat OF the Presidential campaign, but it is
net polite or wise when the hour for coercion
has arrived. Popular Sovereignty was a
principle which had to be maintained though
the Democratic party was shattered into
fragments; but it must be abandoned the
moment the disunionists renew at Washington
the game begun at Charleston and continued
at Baltimore. If Mr.. Douglas was not pre-.
pared to adhere to his principles In the conflict
which everybody anticipated after the dis
ruption of the Charleston Convention, why
did he not thfn capitulate to Yancey, and
support Breckenridge and Lane? The Little
Giant had much to say, during the canvass
about tie principle Of self government being
worth fighting for, even as our revolutionary
fathers fought 'or it. And now, when the
call to the field is sounded, he asks parley,
and hoists the white flag, signifying his anxiety
to surrender, upon any terms the insurgent
slave-code faction may see fit to dictate. Our
indignation at this base betrayal is as thorough
as was our devotion to the cause of Mr..
Douglas and popular sovereignty during the
Presidential struggle. Blu. the Illinois Senator
counts without his host. if he supposes he
can persuade the great army of Democrats
who supported him in November last to pass
under the yuke now, for the sake of peace
The principle of self- government was baptized
in noble blood before Stephen A. Douglas
came into the world. and it will survive long
after he has inherited his five feet of American
soil. AS for coercion the Government
which has not the power and the will! to
enforce its laws against the most formidable
body Of rebels that may unfarl the flag of
resistance is not worthy of maintenance in
any enlightened land. By his opposition to
Coercion AIr. Douglas only demonstrates
that ho never deserved - as we confess we
thought he did to WELD the powers entrusted
to the President Of this mighty Republic"

aration Is final and irrevocable.
The correspondence OF Mr.. Hayne and
Gov. Pickens, while the former was at
Washington, was considered in executive
session. 1t appears that the ultimatum of
South Carolina was the surrender OF Fort
Sumter and the Withdrawal of the fedskl
troops-that South Carolina promised the
pay for the forts, and that Hagne, in defer

the proposition. Gov. Pickens new
tells Hayne to make a final demand. lie
reports repudiating the Presidents position,
that he has not the power to give them Up,
but must leave it to Congress. Gov. Pick
