The CoysPrRACY-Thc secessionists
of South Carolina have now furnished
abundant evidences that they have been
long conspiring the dissolution OF the
Union. and have not the slightest idea
Of returning to their allegiance under
any circumstances unless ''cocrced -
The following are extracts from speech
es made in the South Carolina Conyen-
ton, viz:
Mr.. Packer, speaking ofseccssion, said:
1t is no spasmJlic effort that has come
suddenly upon Us, but it has been grad
uaIly eliminating for long series of
years.
Mr.. Inglis said: "Most of US have had
this subject under consideration for the
last twenty years.
Mr. Keitt said: II have been enga-
ged in this movement ever since | enter
ed political life
Mr.. Rhctt said: 1T is nothing proIu-
ced By Mr. Liucoln's election or the nom
execution Of the fugitive slave law. 1t
lis matter which has been gathering
head for thirty years And he further
said; 1--WE are about to sunder our re-
lations with that section, tie North, ]
and trust forever
On another occasion NJ. Rhett said:
"The Federal laws laying taxes on the
people Of South Carolina have fallen this
day; and so far as VIC are concerned,
fallen, | trust, forever
Hence it appears that there has been
a long concocted conspiracy to overturn
the Government Of the United States,
and that the causes heretofore alleged
are mere pretex,s.
Does any friend Of the Union believe that
these men intend ever to return to their
allegiance, no matter what concessions
are made by the North? Ii 50, he is
under dangerous delusion.

Dissolve the Union

Dissolve the Onion, Who would part
The chain that binds lis heart to heart?
Each link was forged by saiutel siros,
Amid the Revolutions fires;
And coo'd--oh. where so rich a food?
In Warrcn's and in Sumpter's blood
Dissolve the Union! Be Ike france,
When "Terror" rear'd her bloody lance,
And man became distinctions child,
And woman in her passions wild
Danced il the lile-blood Of her Queen,
Before the dreadful guilotine,
Dissolve the Union. Roll away
Tie spangled flag Of Glory's day;
Blot out the history Of the brave,
Aud desccratc each Patriots grave,
And then, above the wreck Of years,
Quaif an eternity Of tears?
Dissolve the Union. Can it he
That they who speak such words are free
Great God! did any die to save
Such sordii wretches from the grave
When breast 10 breast, and hand to haud
Our patriot fathers froed tie land?
Dissolve the Union, Io, Forbeari
Tie sword Of Damocles is there;
Cut but hair and earth shall know
a darker, dcal,icr tale of woe
Than history's crimson page has told
Since Nero's car in blood cer roll'd.
Dissolve the Union. Speak ye hills!
Ie everlasting mountains cry
SIrick out. ye streams and ningling rills,
And ocean roar in agony,
Dead heroes, leap from Glory's sod
And shield the manor Of your blood

The Richmond Wing, in arguing
against "precipitation' on the part of the
steady Old Dominion, remarks as fol-
lows:-"So far as we are concerned, we
are utterly opposed to any undue hurry
in the assembling Of State Convention.
In our judgement the election for mem
bers to the Convention ought not to be
held before the middle or twentieth of
April, and the Convention itself should
not assemble before the lst of May, and
even a latter day would be preferable.
We desire full and fair discussion be-
fore the people of the questions which the
Convention will be called upon to decide;
aud it is evident that proper canvass
and discussion cannot be carried on in
the midst Of winter. Let the people and
the candidates have March and April for
the consideration and discussion Of the
grave subjects in issue, and then let the
Convention assemble in May, or about
the first Of June. This plan would best
consult the convenience and the wishes
Of the people and candidates, and afford
them all ample opportunity to take their
position adyiscdIy and wisely"

"Mr. Gar6elde has been delivered of his
old speech here to small gathering.
Judge Strong followed and freely ventilated
himself He said that bull-ragging sheet
over in Oregon had said he was seces-
sionist. He repeled the foul asperson,
and then subsidized"
We clip the above from letter dated
Olympia, January 90, 1861, published in
the OregOnian of Feb. I'd.
So far as Judge Strong is concerned, it
is due to him to state, that the above is en-
tirely incorrect Judge Strong made no
speech, and did not profess to make q
speech.
After Mr.. GarGelde had closed his three
hours grafton, the Judge, in response to a
loud call, arose in the back part of the
house where he had been sitting, and de-
clined speaking He said that, although
he differed in many respects from the posi-
tions assumed by the speaker, yet as there
was not now before the people any election
in which there were important or living is
sues, he considered them mere distractions,
the discussion of which, at the present
time, could only tend to widening the breach
in the Democratic party. lie therefore
would not discuss them. He had no occa-
sion to make speeches for grandeur, but
when the proper time came, he was always
ready to aVow and maintain bis principles.
Abiding 10 Mr. Garfeld's attempt to de-
fend his character against some charges Of
official misconduct, he said that he could
also soy with the gentleman that as he had
no press, and no control over press, he
Would embrace the present opportunity to
defend himself against some charges which
had been made against him by an Oregon
press (he did not use the word bully-rag-
ging or any offensive epithet unless the
word Oregon may SO be cousidered) He
had been charged with being Chief Jus
tice Of Washington Territory, and being in
favor of secession, both of which charges
be utterly repudiated. The remarks in re-
gard to charges were made by the Judge in
playful manner, evidently intended as q
joke, and so received by the audience. We
trust this matter is now sufficiently ventil-
lated.

"rHE FORcE OF HABn."-This was the
text from which Mr.. G. F. Boyuton of this
place, delivered a pertinent and practical
lecture before the AIphean Society, in the
Methodist Church, on last Friday evening.
He gave the tobacco chewers and smokers
FITS" and presented many startling statis-
iical facts, showing the immense amount Of
money annually "squandered" for this worse
than useless habit. We have not heard,
however, that any Of his hearers have aban-
doned the use Of it since his speech, or that
the ladies have concluded to adopt his sug-
gestions, but one thing we will venture on,
at least, that she floor of the Church, on
that occasion, was not besmeared quite as
much as usual.

SENATOR BENJAMN's SPEECH,-We deep
" regret that Senator Benjamin has made
strong secession speech. This gentleman
stands in the front rank Of the legal profess
sion. Not long since, while engaged in
San Francisco upon the New Almaden
Mine contest, he delivered himself of Union
sentiments. The threats of Wade and
others, have changed many conservatives
of the South into ultra secessioniSts. The
Senator says a State has an absolute right
to secedc, and "lbat you must acknowledge
the independence of the seeding State, or
reduce her by war" He considers that
notification in the North justifes secession
in the South; that when the compact is
broken by one party, it is not binding upon
the other; that the day Of adjustment is
past; that if compromise is given, it will
be too late. He asks the North 10 lei
them go in peace; if they attempt coercion
the South will fight to the death. We
have not the shadow of doubt but thai
at least eight States have seeded, long ere
this.
