adoption, or that Of something similar to 1t, will
be by decided majority Of both sections. There
is great unanimity among the commissioners who
represent the States Immediately Interested. That
is among those from the border non- slaveholding

A NAKED DEsPoTlsN Every days mail brings
some additional proof showing that the disunion
leaders who have usurped the government Of the
Gulf States design to erect neither more nor less
than q naked despotism upon the necks Of the
masses, depriving them Of every vestige Of the
liberties they enjoyed under the Government Of
the United States. The very last evidence Of this
fact comes In the shape Of an ordinance, intro
duced among others Of the same character by the
brother Of the absquatulator Cobb into the Georgia
Convention, defining what shall be treason againt
the Stale of Georgia, and visiting any Georgian
with long imprisonment 81 who shall dare either
TO write or speak against any measure or plan OF
their so-called Government, bearing their rela-
tions to the Government CT the United States.
We quote II, es follows:
"Any citizen Of the State OF Georgia, wherever
resident, who shall, without the permission of
said state, directly OF Indirectly, commence or
carry on any verbal or written correspondence, or
intercourse with any foreign Government, or any
agent or officer of the same, with an intent 10 in
huence the measures or conduct Of such Govern
ent adversely 10 the existence interests Of said
state, in relation to any disputes controversies
with said state, or to defeat the measures Of the
government OF said State; or II any such person,
not duly authorized, shall counsel, aid, advise,
OF assist In any such correspondence, such citizen
Of Georgia shall be guilty of a felony, and on
conviction, shall be punished by imprisonment
in the penitsntisry not less than one nor more
than three years, and by fine not exceeding five
thousand dollars.
ION motion, this, with several other ordi-
nsnces introduced by Mr.. Cobb, were ordered to
be printed"
Who doubts for an instant, with such proof
before his eyes, that a reign Of terror has been
fairly inaugurated over the Gulf States, under
which the life, liberty and property Of any man
opposed to the late usurpaton, are to be the pen.

the General Government to procure the emancipa-
ton Of the slaves In some or all Of the Border

Objection being made, the resolution was laid

citizens Of this country to seize the Capitol and
prevent the Inauguration of the President elect
There was no objection, and the resolution, a

Mr.. Palmer, Of n. Y, offered the following:
ReSoIred, That neither the Federal G Government
the people, nor the governments of the non- slave

Der and Influence to excite the serious attention

| After an exciting discussion the resolution wa
adopted by vote Of yeas l61, nays none, with tn
4 following modification:
RssoIred, That neither Congress, the people
nor the governments Of the Notwithstanding State
have the constitutional right to legislate upon o
