Il
submitted TO the people for ratification but the
previous question was sprung, and the fual vote
on the secession ordinance was TAKEN after some
sharp debates during the calling OF the Yeas and
Nays, several members changed their votes, so as
to be on the side Of the majority thus bringing
the Convention somewhat nearer unanimity.
Judge Linton Stephens of Hancock very warmly
declared that he saw no sufficient cause Tor
withdrawal from the Union, and that he would
neither vote for nor sign the ordinance. THIS
declaration provoked much warm comment and
many savage wishes from the outsiders when 1t
became known.
As soon as the Convention had declared the
State of Georgia cut off from the Federal Unen,
resolution was adopted begging the Federal
Government to carry their mails, and perform
sundry other useful acts. This done, resolu-
ton was introduced TO the effect that Georgia
would come back into the Union when she could
have her rights, but no action was taken on 1t;
it may come up to-day.
In the course of the session, the Governor SEM
to the Convention a copy of the resolutions faii
to have been adopted by your New-fork Legs
lature, concerning REASONABLE acts and actors IN
Georgia and South Carolina. l wish you could
have seen the bursting delight with which Toombs
must have watched the effect of these resolutions
on the delegates. They gave just the opening be
desired. and it is known that their transmission
TO the Convention was agreed on between the
ex-senator and Gov. Brown, for the purpose dis
closed by the following resolution, adopted auan.
imously:
Ror,d aaioHy response the resolutions OF New
York rcfrred to in Message, that this Conven
ton highly approves theeneIsec and patriotic condnc OF Oo
and regue him until the relations OF Georgia
With the Federal be determined by this CONVEX
ton and tina: copy Of this resolution be transmitted :" the
Governor Of New York.
If YOU remember remark made in a previous
letter, that TOombs and Cobb feared TO have the
action of the Governor in selling the forts talked
about much, you will thoroughly appreciate the
Joy of these parties at finding such means Of
flashing the Convention TO rage as the New-York
resolutions.
The reioiciDgs of Friday night were resumed
with increased spirit on Saturday evening and
night, and, though in a more subdued form,
were continued throughout Sunday. There was
a never ending ringing of bells all Saturday
evening, and more gorgeous outbreak of illnmi-
nation ] never saw. To-day it is probable that
an open session will be held, and the more or
less impressive soemnity of signing the ordinance
will be performed.

nuts 70 crack, as one Of them con6dentiaDy re-
marked the other day.
JEFF. Davis continues to be the favorite candi-
date for the Presidency of the Southern Pro-
yisional Government. Charleston is in the most
perfect tranquility; it is really painful to see
this beautiful harbOr entirely deserted by ship
ping, the quays destitute Of all commercial ac-
tvity; other indications of gloom seem TO daily
increase, in the calamities which befaD the sew
eral traders, the interruption of the pleasures of
the season, and the dminution, may say cessa-
ton, of travel from the North.
The shops which have made the most profit
out of the political troubles of the time are those
which sell arms, powder, and cockades. Of these
last articles nearly $4,000 have been sid at
prices varying from 25 cents to 50 cents each,
and the demand still continues, not only from
the South, but for expectation to the Northern
States also.
There always continues the most stupid big
otry on the part of the people here. just now
q young woman employed in sewing machine
establishment receives her instant dismissal from
the Republic of South Carolina, because she de-
clined to work an extra Palmetto tree. They
pretended that she had patriotic scruples.
In logical accord with the temper OF the times,
it has been raining great guns to considerable
extent lately, but the ardor of the youthful SOL
diery is not apparently diminished thereby. The
halls of the Charleston Hotel, heretofore generally
crow ded with feverish throng, are just now
almost deserted. Major Ripley and the other he
roes of the hour are passing their evening in
pleasant converse with their lady friends, and the
only source Of immediate anxiety appears. to be
the probably wet condition of the nice young
men who are watching over the honor of the
State.
The Legislature will probably adjourn at the
end of the week, and Hibernan Hall, or Seces-
sion Hall, as it is generally called, will again
resume its original character as center of musl-
cal entertainment There seems to be feeling
growing here in regard to the possibility of
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida being
entced back to the Union; but South Caro-
"lina" it is said here, "cannOt be entced back. "
Yet, this admission of the possibility of an at
tempt of entcing her back being entertanable,
shows that the Palmetto State is not yet alto
gether past reconciliation.

EX-PRESIDENT TYLER.


From Oar Special Correspondent
RICHMOND, Va, Wednesday, Jan. 90, 1861.
a conservative feeling prevails here among the
old +. +. VS. and the cultivated classes gener-
ally. but the oilice.holders, whose occupation viii
be gone with Lincoln's advent, and the formida-
bic class OF bangers-On Of ofhce-holdeTs, and Of
the hangers-on of these hangers-on, aud the lower
class of pot house politicians generally incite the
populace to Secession, and even the spots conse-
Grated by the memories Of Washington, Jeficr-
son, and Patrick Henry are now sounding with
the furious notes Of discord.
Ex-President Tyler left this morning at ESQ a.
ID. for Washington on bis mission Of peaceful
mediation. He bears his great age with remark
able grace; lie is still the same slim, tall-lOoking,
highbred Virginia gentleman his striking features
still showing a high degree Of mental activity.
He has that characteristic which Napoleon j.
considered the mark Of intellectual superiority-a
prominent nose. His eye is keen and gentle
and reflects the animal yigOr which is undimin-
ished by age. He has large number of chill
dren by his first and q large number by his
second wife, the youngest of whom is an infant
six months old. He IL accompanied by sweet.
looking boy, also the offspring of his second mar
riage, and his wife is soon to follow him 10
Washington; he is to stay at Browns Hotel, has
old and fayorite Headquarters but which he VIII
find to be filed now mostly with those politicians
opposed 10 Union. Mrs. Tyler is New-YOrk
lady, with strong South Carolinian procliyities;
but Mr.. Tyler is now laboring for the restoration
and peace Of the Union and endeayoring to im-
press his views on the President. He seems
fully impressed with the difficulties of his mission
and seems disposed TO look upon failure as the
death-knell Of all paci6catory efforts.
While Mr. Tyler is going North, Judge Rob
erison--another prominent, high-minded man
proceeds this morning South, on a similar mission

COMPROMISES CAN'T COMPROMISE THEIR
OWN DOOM
fespordeneo Of The n. Y. Tribune.


BERKSHIRE, n. Y, Jan. ~, 1861.
Please accept word from one quite removed from
Secession locations, although not remote from the most
lively interest in ransprng events. The word is this
Let the principles upon which the Republicans planted
themselves at Chicago and which carried them trium
phantly through most trying campaign, and won
them glorious victory, be MISUNDERSTANDING not
one lot or title. Let those who wish the Republican
party to live know that il will live only by the prn-
cples in which il was BORN Those who wish the
Republican party dead would compromise those prn-
cples Therefore, the political doom of every Repub-
lican will be sealed the moment voice hand is put
forth for compromise What compromise with
traitors What conquer an enemy, and then give
them your arms, and with your arms your country
Do any ask for evidence to this effect Here it is:
All the enemies of the Republican party clamor for
compromise sniveling, limberback, professed Repub
Hcans, whisper compromise. But they cannot COM
promise their doom. C.PJ.

FROM MARYLAND.

From Our Own Correspondent.
BALTIMORE, Jan. o. 1861.
Tie Southern Literary Messenger for this month,
published at Richmond, in Virginia, has just been
revealing some of the purposes of the Shareholder
rebels, in breaking up the Union. One of Them
and the main one, is 10 abolish universal white
suffrage. 1t declares the experiment Of a
Republican Government, based upon the universal
suffrage of the white man, to be a dsgaceful
failure, and openly avows the design of the rebels
to be to create a Southern Republic, upon
white suffrage, limited to men Of sufficient prop
erty for annual subsistence upon the usuiruct
In other Words the policy of these rebels is, to
reduce society in the Slave States TO the feudal
condition again, with African Slavery for its
basis, and to adopt such legislation as will com
pei the poor white man to emigrate, and TO
coDfne the dominant class to the fewest possible
numbers.
To show you that this ia not the mere idle
fancy of a magazine.writer, but that it is seri-
ously entertained, let me tell you how a heavy
slayeholdDg officer of the United States Army
native of South Carolina, recently argued
about this matter. He intends resigning just so
soon as his State shall achieve its independence Of
the Federal Government, and in this determine
ton there are more method and prudence in his
madness than displayed by those of his class who
have taken the plunge in advance lie said that
the policy of South Carolina and Of the Republic
of which she is TO be the cornerstone is, to
to drive out every white man who is not able to
own and keep at least five slaves, with sufficient
land to work them; to reopen the African slave
trade; to raise the taxes for the support of the
Government by direct taxation; to have FREQ
trade with all the world, except the United
States, and TO cut of oil commercial and per-
sonal intercszse with them; to raise and keep
