EVANSVILLE, IND. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL T. 1861.

and, whereas, we arc willing to leave that
action to them and their own consciences,
we, the immediate neighbors of our worthy
representative James L. Baker, Esq, have
hereby @ T
ResOZed, That the bold, manly, and firm
stand taken by him, in the face of an over
whelming majority, and an immense out
side influence against him, in voting in ac-
cordance with our own wishes against 'im-
mediate separate State action" meets our
hearty appreciation and sanction.
ResOzeed, That we deem it best to have
such a one to further represent US in the
Convention, and we would request that he
return to and retain his seat therein.
The West Florida Enterprise, flourish
ing sheet, published at Marianna-and
whose motto is, the Constitution as it is !;
Union as it was, publishes portion of a
letter from very prominent gentleman in
that vicinity, in which he asks some ex-
tremely pertinent questions. He says:
The Convention has passed the Secession
Ordinance, and refuses to let the people say
whether they approve of it or not; and
yet they are called on to fight for it, against
the United States, before it is a week old.
The people have some sense left, and will
not submit to any such kingly power. The
0Of6EnoE Hdu no ElSIL 10 IdiSe an arm III
less 10 quell insurrection or an invasion IN
der the old State law. By what authority
does he order the generals to raise men to
go to Pensacola? Is be to be king Can
he bid fTeemen to do his fighting? viii
they do it? By what authority is Gen.
Anderson an officer How does his COM
mission read ? Did henot swear to support
the Constitution of the United States in his
commission Has he a new one Who
gave 1t to him, and by what authority p
As one of the people, l want to know. And
as it is a right, hope you will tell me and
your readers something about this new
Government that has all power, and makes
all officers, and has so much money to
spend. The people want to know, and if
you cannot tell US, send some one over to
see the Governor and inquire of him, &c.
This is but one of many similar letters re-
Gently published, and it merits that consid-
Grafton by the citizens of the North which
is due to it.

Another Envoy from Washington

Another Envoy from Washington.
The city was all agog yesterday at the
announcement that still another Ambassa-
dor from Washington had come to town,
and was in close conference with the Gov
ernor. 1t appears that this last Envoy Mr..
W. H. Lamon of Illinois, arrived in the city
on Sunday morning, and registered his
name upon the books of the Charleston
Hotel from Virginia. He remained
quietly at the hotel until yesterday morning,
when he sent his card to the Governor, re-
queSting an interview. The nature Of his
communication has not been made public.
About one o'clock, accompanied by Col.
Duryea, Aid to the Governor, Mr.. Lamon
left the city in the steamer Planter, Capt.
Ferguson, and proceeded to Fort Sumter
The tide being low the steamer was unable
to reach the fort wharf, but was met at a
short distance by n boat commanded by an
officer, who, we understood, was Lieut..
Hall. After presenting a written commu-
nicatior to the Lieutenant, Mr.. Lamon was
invited into the boat, accompanied by Col.
Duryea, and they were then taken to Fort
Sumter, where they remained for about one
hour. On the approach of the steamer to
the fort, about half the garrison had collect
ed on the wharf and some half-doZen Off
GERS were on the ramparts, using their spy
glasses.
After staying in the fort for some time,
Mr.. Lamon, accompanied by Major Ander-
son, took walk around the ramparts of
the fortiication, the Major apparently ex-
planning to his visitor the position of the
fort and its surroundings. While on the
steamer the Envoy from Washington allud-
ed several times to the Importance of pre-
serving the peace, saying that he expected
to leave Immediately for Washington City,
and hoped to return here in few days.
| The last remark would indicate that he
/ bore no order for the evacuation of the for
tress, and would give color to the opinion
/ held byssmany that the question of leaving is
still in debate between Major Anderson and
/ the Washington authorities, each being anx-
! ious to shift the responsibility of leaving off
their own shoulders. This matter as it
stands is becoming rather annoying to the
/ public here, and the people are expecting
with anxiety a final settlement, either
peaceably or by the sword
Mr.. LamOn left by the night train last
night for Washington. The latest and ap-
pareutly most reliable rumol was that his
brief visit related to postal affairs, and that
his trip to Fort Sumter was m erely inciden-
tai, as bearer of spatcbes.-.H Hercury, 26th.

The Convention Election in LOufsf-
RnR-An Ordinance TO Publish the
Returns Tabled
The State authorities of Louisiana per-
sistently refuse to publish the returns of the
Convention election, although an earnest
desire on the part of the people for their
several of the New Orleans papers. The
following reference to the subject appears
among the Published proceedings of the
Convention on Saturday last:
Mr.. Bienvenu presented an ordinance re-
questing the President to lay before the Con-
vention the official returns of the popular
vote of each parish n the State, of the cleo
ton of the delegates to this Onnveution.
Mr.. Bush moved for dispensation of the
rules.
Mr.. Rozier hoped the motion would pre-
vail, as he considered it of the greatest i'm
portance that the official vote of the differ
5nt parishes should be laid before the Con-
ventiOn, as they were about to have submit
ted to them the question of the submission
of the Constitution to the people, and it was
necessary to know what the popular vote
was on the Cooperation and Secession tick
et
The President decided debate out of or
der, and the yeas and nays being demand
ed on the suspension of the rules, resulted
yeas %, nays 72-so the ordinance vas
laid over
The Picayune, which had exerted itself
to procure the returns for publication, has
the following in reply to a correspondent
Of course, as the Convention has decided
against submitting the Constitution to the
people, the returns of the Convention cleo
tion will still be un-come-at-able for their
publication even now might possibly " ex-
cite hostility and prejudice against the Con-
vention.' = As we have no desire to contrib
ute to such excitement, we shall make no
further effort to "quiet the scruples and
suspicious of our correspondent, and so
we now inform all whom it may concern.
