A Southern Confederacy.

In the language of a Kentucky cotcm-
porary (says the Richmond Whig.) we
have one insuperable objection to a
Southern Confederacy: Us FUNDAMENTAL
principle is CHANGE, INSTABILITY,
ANARCHY! All its advocates affirm
that every State has right to nullify any
obnoxious law and to secede from the
Confederacy whenever she fancies her
rights are invaded. This is the one great
idea Of all the precipitators Of South
Carolina. They boast Of a rule of action
which they hold in common with the
Mexican Greasers, who no sooner install
one ruler than they have him court.mar
tailed and shot. We will consent to live
in no Conlederacy which is based on this
destructive heresy. We have no respect
for any government which has no stabili
ty, no bond of union, no strength, but is
the wretched creature OF whim and ca
price. aF # sH-

BAD TASTE For papers in the seeded
States, says the, Huntsville Advocate, to
be denouncing Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri. Whatever course these States
may pursue land we heartily wish they
were with us) we (the seeding sta,es)
have no right to complain. We acted
without consulting their wishes or asking
their advice, and even boasted we would
drag them, with us Now, are we by
abuse, to make them our ensu'esS Are
they enemies to be desired? Let the past

beer to .n'oXicate came up IN Chicago last
week. O"e witness testified 10 having
drank about gallon, and was of the
opinion that lager was Intoxicating,
though his memory was a little oblivious
ON that point. Another witness diank
about ten quarts, and could not say
whether II was Intoxicating or not. De-
iendent was fined $40 for selling intoxi-

The Congress and Gov. Brown.

If we may believe the reports of some
of the newspaper correspondents tiom
Montgomery, the course of Gov. Brown
of Georgia. in taking independent meas
ures of redress after the Provisional Gov
ernment had assumed the quarrels of
the several seeding States with those of
the old Union, is disapproved. The cor
respondent of the Mobile Register writes
from Montgomery, Feb. 2jth: "rhe
course of Gov. Brown, in his second seiz-
urc of vessels, is deprecated here. 1t is
considered disrcspectful to the Federal
Government and calculated to embarrass
its action. Separate State action, it is
said, was very good thing, so long as
the States were separate; among conted-
crate States there must be no other than
confederate action. Gov. Brown forgot
the distinctions; and, suppose. if one
could have listened to the proceedings of
the secret session of Saturday and to-day,
Que would have heard the spunky Gov
ernor pretty roughly handled"

three times as many as the eight border

The Legislature Of Michigan refused
he request of Virginia to send delegates
to the Peace Convention which has Just
adjourned at Washington. After the re-
fusal, it was discovered by the radical Re-
publicons at Washington that there was
danger that those who favored compro-
mise would be in the majority in the Con-
vention; and, on consultation. the Sena-
TOYS from Michigan teegraphed the Gov
ernor of that State to get the Lcgisla-
lure TO reconsider its action and send
delegates. The same Senators also wrote
the Governor explaining more at length
the reasons why Michigan should send
delegates. The letter of Senator Chand-
Ter We give below. 1t is one of those pro-
ductions that stick to their authors TO
curse them while living and blast their
memories when dead:
WASHINGTON. Feb IL, 1851.
".hY Dear Gmemor: Governor Bingham
and myself telegraphed you on Saturday.
at the request of Massachusetts, and New
York. to send delegates to the Peace
Compromise Congress. They admit that
we were right. and they wrong; that no
Republican State should have sent dele
gates; but they are here and can't get
away. OHIO. lndiana, aud Rhode Island
are caving in, and there is danger o. H.

y DissArlsFIED SEcEssIoNIsT. The Geor-
.ia Corner .Stone, an old advocate OF seces-
sion, edited by Gen. Bethune, is not at
all pleased with the contamination OF that
scheme. The Constitution does not suit
him, the Deputies who framed it are not
| men of the right stamp, usurpers Of an
thority, building up n Government OF
privileges without any guaranty OF popu-
| Lar rights. and refusing to submit it to
! the people; and he boldly recommends
the people to instruct their delegates to
| frame or assent to no plan as final with
out being first ratified by them. OF the
chief of the new Conlcdelacy he thus dis
COURSES:
For oursclf, we are free to confess that
we know of no two men in the six States
composing the Conlederacy whose election
! would not have pleased US as well. Ii
| The object and purpose of those who are
nOw welding the power be, as we are
afraid it is, to build up Il splendid. mag
| mticcnt, expensive government for tue
| benefit and apglHndi>emcnt ofruleis and
their friends and dependents, there could
not in our opinion have Ieen mudea more
proper selection, But if the object is to
form II government, plain. cheap and OF
! limited powers. to be exercise tor the
benefit of the people, then we think II
worse selection could scarcely have been
! made"
