The following extract from a letter received
by gentleman in this town from his brother
now and for twenty years past. a resident Of
the State of Mississippi, shows how they
would like to shape the Government, if they
had the power: 49,.
.H' -, Jan. 23d, 1861.
We are out Of the Union--several other
States are gone, and all the Slave States will
follow; and thus will be broken up one OF
the best Governments ever founded by man,
and all done by the love the abolitionists have
for the negro. They have accomplished this
by and with the aid of Black Republicans,
who united with them in the passage of the
personal liberty bills, and to exclude the
South from the Territories lam aware that
the South will suffer. but so must the West
and East, and the North. New England
must suffer the most of all; and, perhaps
Justly. 1t was New England that set tho
ball in motion. She has been the grand
centre from which has radiated all the iSms
that have wrought the downfall of the Gov
ernmcnt. was opposed to immediate seceS-
sion, but it has come, and as an adopted cit-
zen of this State, intend to do my duty
My plan would be, to have a convention of
all the States, except New England a
new Constitution; and the Western, Middle
and Southern States become one Government
and let Neso England Nth all her isms, take
care Of herself. The South Is so thoroughly
exasperated, fear nothing Of this kind can
be DONE"
Below We give an extract from the answer
of the gentleman to his Southern brother:
You say you are tout of the Union" by
which suppose you wish to be understood
to say, that your State and others, have coted
themselves ont ofMe Union 1t is to be hoped
that they will remain out of the Union, until
they feel the necessity Of that protection and
support, which they have hitherto received
from the North, which, from political and
other considerations, has borne and forebornp,
until forbearancc has ceased to he virtue
that they will remain ont Of the Union until
they become capable of approaching the
cival, political and religious blessings which
have been showcred upon them with so Law
ish a hand by a government, to the support
Of which they have contributed so little by
their revenue or their patriotism. That they
will soon perceive that by seeding from the
Union as States, they have placed themselves
in the position Of Territories, over which
Congress has the right to exercise supreme
control, and in which, as freedom must be
the general rule, and SLAVERY the exception,
the peculiar institution of the South
must be swept from existence. That soone,
than leave alone glorious New England, the
nursing mother of the South and West, the
great North West will perish in defence Of
h'r, and the great social and political doc.
trines which she inculcates in the minds Of
her children, who arc scattered FAR and wide
throughout the civilized world. The inert.
ness and inactivity Of tn present federal
executive, will soon give place to the exercise
Of decision and ir,nness in the executiy,

Gently disgraced by the man whose political
death spasms have prevented him from dis
charging the duties Of the office. and whose
mental carnations are too weak to promp,
him to withdrawal therefrom; but whose
love of notrrieiy is so extravagant, that h,
seems thankful even to the hand of inf,my
which has been so kindly stretched forth tc
snatch him from oblvian. The business OF
appointing territorial officers for South Caro-
lima and other seeding territories, cannot
under existing circumstances, be- attended &c
until after the 4th of March next, when tn.
impartial execution Of the laws will be f !,
