do not mean aay position that she bag esspmea
"a a State under the Federal Constitution but
that in.whicb the present State Convention

3tion Of that Convention is clearly revolutionary
and cannot be recognized as legitimate State
action, eIshsi by tSS rsdaRl eOvsfnnens' Or by
the government Of any State in the Union.
That Convention, II its authority be recogni-
zed as legitimate, Misplaced South Carolina in
the position of foreign State or nation' In re-

ordinance dissolyingy all the political bands

uai.y and Decisive Action,

p The President Of the United States should
have unity in his Cabinet and decisive action.
The moral power Of the Executive Department
Is lost by the doubt and uncertainty that exists
Ia the public mind, as to the intentions and de-
signs Of the President. The laws of, the land
must be executed. The duty to dothis 10 dos
volved on the President, and IL Is not for him TO
be deferred from this duty, by any apprehension
or fear of the consequences. he is sworn to
protect and defend the eonstitationY and execute
the laws, and he should allow no diversity Of
opinion in his cabinet, to tum him aside from
the obligations which Eess upon him 70 preserve
Ithe constitution and execute the laws.

As will be seen by the report in our local col
umns, the Union meeting yesterday at Smith &
Nixon's Hall was most magnificent success,
quite equal, indeed, to the one held few days
ago at Pixies Opera-house. Notwithstanding
that the meeting was without distinction Of par
ty, called as such and conducted throughout in
that spirit, the Republican papers Of yesterday
morning not only threw cold water upon It, but
made personal attacks upon Mr.. Pugh ofthe
most unjust character, This, so far from hav-
ing the effect desired, seemed to give addition.

filled the large Hall of Messrs. Smith &, Nixon,
but would have occupied one several times as
large IL it had been available --E ,-liIti 4
As to Mr.. Pugh's speech, we but speak the
voice OF all who heard it,when we say that 1t was
one Of the most patriotic, effective and eloquent
addresses ever delivered In the eity.-,H was
full of truth and replete with information of the
most valuable character, and was delivered in
that clear and impressive manner, which char-
scterizes Senator Pugh's efforts. IL was well
calculated to add to the high reputation which
Senator Pcgh enjoys as an orator and statesman
Ia reputation excelled by few, if any, men 0i
his age in the Union In his sentiments he rose
far above the partzan politician, and there
breathed throughout bis address the spirit OF. O

States; who are denouncing the seotlonalism Of

and aggressive legislation upon the South, In
order that il might, with clean hands, appeal to
the latter, he was greeted with vehement rounds
of applause, as he was also, wen the policy OF
military coercion Of the South, howsoever ef-
fected, was nnspsringly condemned. The tenn
per of the audience was thoroughly for COM
promise and against force. Mr.. Pugh took
strong grounds in favor of Mr.. Crittenden's
amendments to the Constitution, as the only
practical policy ofsettlement which had, ,at pres
ent, any prospect of success. mi1 70 1odsUt

fewer prisoners. They suffered to the e1-

This Convention was called in the first

purpose of taking the State out of the

They have put Clsib. Jackson himself out
Of effice-a thing they could legally do.
Henceforth Missouri is in the hands OF
Union men. The government Of the State
is loyal and true to the Constitution.
