n more important crisis was never upon
any people. We of the South can bring
tlln crisis to an end just as we wish and
we can reach that end in blood or peace, as
our passions or our prudence may direct.
Come what may, we should never be con-
tent with any patchwork. Slavery must
never again be the hobby Of the political
demagogue. l greatly deplore so much
feeling and impatience with so many of our
people. We are in danger now froin moth
IL
or now who assumes that slavery can be
abolished by any party or power. This s.a
concession to the efforts and dreams OF IA
naticism without any foundation in fact.
OF all people in this nation, the slave is
this day far the happiest; and Of all prop
crty, slavery is by lar the safest. The Un,
ion, t4e Constitution. good government,
are in danger from the passions, the fanat-
icism, and ambition of the white race only
But whatever may be>the cause, crisis is
upon us, and we must meet it.
1t is an hour when every man should be
all prudence and firmness, without petulance
or rashncss in word or action. Every south.
ern man should remember that every other
southern man is as much interested as him
sell and every southern State should re-
member that every other southern State
must be, more or less, involved By her ac-
tion. Each is. therefore, bound by every
consideration of ordinary respect anI good
feeling to offer a consultation and inter-
change of views before final action
Has South Carolina done this Does her
action become the dignity of the occasion
and the Importance OF the issue? Rather
has she not acted with abrupt discourtcsy
to the claims, wishes, and movements of heI
sister slaveholding States ? l trust yet she
will be more deliberate and communicative
than her proceedings would at first indicate.
South Carolina is not acting towards her
sister States in 1860 as she did towards
her sister colonies 1776. Perhaps her peo-
pie are more chivalrous and patriotic !, In
the name Of Calhoun. South Carolina is do

GENTLEMEN: Your very hattering favor,

1t Is quite needless, am sure. for me
to say TO you. gentlemen, that it would be
exceedingly gratifying to me, at all times,
to receive so complimentary notice from
SO large number Of those OF my neigh
bors and fellow citizens, who are best ac-
quainted with me. 1t is doubly so at

and no threats or accusations, 10 unjust

be absolute cowardicc Nor do l regard it
as any small matter to pull down our own
government, eonlcsselly the best on earth,
and to build up, I-know not wha, sort OF
one, on its ruins. | Anow achot the present
government is I do not kaow what the one

Believing that my own views but reflect

fellow citizen, of Sebastian, l had, even in

a candidate for the convention, in case one

CALIFoRSIA FOR THE UNIoN.-The tone
Of the entire press of California is emphat-
ically favorable to the preservation Of the
Union. and none are more decided in their
patriotism than the French and German
newspapers, the writers for which looh up
on any movement tending to rupture as
fatal TO our States prosperity. Out OF
nearly one hundred exchanges published on
this coast and received at this &c, we can
find not one that comes out openly or 9TH
erwse in iavor'of an independent Republic.
California is faithful to the Union.

SUPREME COURT,

Chief Justice Taney pronounced the opinion
Of the Court on the mandamus asked for by
the Governor Of Kentucky against the Cover.
nor of Ohio, to compel the latter to surrender
fugitive from Kentucky, holding that the de-
manding State has a right to have every such
fugitive returned that the Governor of Ohio
has no right to 60 into the question as to
whether the act of which the fugitive is &C.
cused is or is not criminal in Ohio, provided it
was crime in kentucky, and it is the duty Of
the Governor Of Ohio to deliver up the fugitive
upon any proper proofs; that the act Of Con-
gress Of 1898 determines what evidence is to
be submitted to the Governor; that his duty is
ministerial, like that of a sheriff or marshal
but as Congress cannot impose any Federal duty
on State officers, the good faith and the con.
ceivable good sense of the officer of State is
relied on. Upon these grounds the mandamus
was refused.

mitted to debate the resolution. lie wanted to
show his object in introducing it was for the
best Of all purposes.
Mr.. Mason briefly advocated the taking up

Georgia, having announced that they are no

become vacant, and the Secretary OF the Senate
is directed TO strike their names from the roll Of
members.
A debate followed when, after several pro.
posed notifications.
Mr.. Clark offered substitute, which Mr.
Fessenden accepted, as follows:
Whereas the seats of Messrs. Brown and Da.
Wis of Mississippi, Mallory of Florida, Clay of
Alabama, and Toombs Of Georgia, as members
Of the Senate, have become vacant: therefore,
Resolred, That the Secretary be directed to
omit their names respectively from the roll.
Mr.. Mason offered an amendment, that those
gentlemen having ceased 10 be members of
