The Corwin Plan.

The following is the Corwin plan Of adj
jusment of our present difficulties, as re-
Gently passed by both Houses Of Congress:
!. That hostility. by the Southern States
to the deral Government. is to be regret
ted, and whether with or without ust cause,
all rea, enable constitutional remedies neces
sary to preserve the unity and peace of the
country should be promptly granted.
2. That all attempts of States to obsruct
the recovery of fugitves from service, are
in derogaton of the Constitution and dan
gerous to the peace of thu Union.
8. That if any States have statutes in
conflict with the execution of the fugitive
slave laws, they are earnestly requested to
repeal them.
f. That we recognize slavery as existing
in fifteen States, and recognize no authority
outside such States to interfere Herewith.
5. That faithful observance, by all the
States, Of their constitutional obligations to
each other and to the National Government,
is essential to the peace of the country.
g. That it is the duty of the General
Government to enforce its laws, protect its
property, and preserve the Union.
T. That each Safe is requested to secure,
without legislation by Congress, to citizens
of other States travelling therein, the same
protection as the citizens of other States
travelling or sojourning therein.
8. That they recognize the Justice and
pioprie,y Of the faithful execution of the
Constitution and laws for the rendition of
fugitive slaves, and discountenance all mobs
or hndrance in opposition thereto.
9. That they recognize no sufficient cause
for dissolution Of the Unon-that they
were not sent to Congress to destroy, but to
susta n, the institutions Of the country, per-
peluate it's existence, and see equal Justice
done to all.
10. That each State be requested to pre-
vent and punish any attempt whatever with
in its borders, to set on foot lawless inva-
sion of another State or Territory
IL. That the President he requested to
transmit copies 'f the foregoing TO the Gov
ernors of States, asking them to transmit
them to their respective Legislatures.
How IT WoHKs.-The feeling among the
coored population of this city against their
Republican bre,hern is very bitter since the
events ot the past week. The prevailing
sentiment among them is, "tlle Republicans
have gone back on u.s." We hear of sew
eral instances where colored men have re-.
fused to recognize Republicans on the street,
with whom they had heretofore sustained
the most intimate relations. A respectable
black man refused his house to Republi.

AUBURN, MARCH %, 1851.
Senatorial.

The past week has been all exciting one
at The Seat Of Government, in political cir
cles. On Wednesday last joint Conven-
ton Of the two Houses met to elect Uni
ted States Senator. On the first ballot the
vote stood as follows:
Nugent As. McDougal 90; Phelps, %;
Weller, 6; Inge, /; Casselly, l; Hoge, 2;
Burbank l.; Parks, /; Bowie, l.
MIR Nugent received the most Of the
Brccknridge votes, he having been nomin-
ated in caucus on Tuesday evening.
Two more ballots were taken, with about
the same result as above, when the 22nd
lalot of The session was taken with the
following result, as declared
McDougall. Sc; Nugent, Al; Phel. 5, l.
Weller 6; Creanor, l. Total Ill.
And McDougal was declared elected by
the presiding officer of the Convention amidst
the greatest excitement imaginable. After the
Convention adjourned it was found that in
stead of there only teing III votes cast
there were 49, Mr.. Leet having vo'ed for
Eugene Casserly and Senator Watkins OF
Yuba, for Major Anderson. whose votes
lad not teen counted. MrDoueal there
fore was not elected. But how will it be
remedied-the Convention adjourned sine
die. and the officers have certified that only
III votes were cast, and that McDougall got
a majority of them-which is not true.
Evidence of this fact has been presented to
Gov. Downey, who has not yet issued the
certificate Of election, and we hope will not
until the whole thing is thoroughly ventila-
ted Every man has right to aspire to
honorable distinction, and hold his position
legally, but not 10y error or fraud
We say If Jim McDougall is legally elected
all right If he is not, the Legislature
should so declare it.

Senator Trumbuil on Coniiscntion or til.
Property OF VrnitOrs.

The speech of Senator Trumbull in the United
States Senate, which we published on Friday,
introducing his bill for the conlscation OF all the
property OF rebels, including slaves, has some
features in it which are deserving Of commenda-
ton such as his assertion of the following
principlcs:-That the war for the restoration of
the Union ought to be conducted strictly within
the limits of the constitution: that il it is
conducted otherwise there is no difference be-
tween the guilt Of the United States govern
mcnt and that OF the Insurgents that the con
stiiution, with consummate wisdom, amply
provides for every emergency: that if it may
be transcended by the Executive on the plea of
necessity, which is always the tyrant's plea. il
is of no value whatever, and consequently the
object for which our armies are fighting
would be lost: that the military power in war
is not superior TO the civil power, but subor-
dinate to it, and that Congress is the war
making power, and can control the army and
It's operations, tho Chief Magistrate. as Com
manderin-Chief. having only the right to carry
out the will Of Congress, unless in such in
stances as he is left to his own discretion. and
where the laws of Congress and the constitution
do not restrict him: and, lastly, that martha,
law cannot override civil law. on even exist in
districts of the country where there is no
| insurrection
| This is all true as far as ii goes: but the
! speech of the Senator from Illinois is sinrular|v
inconsistent self contradictory. and like all the
speeches of the radical aboltioniss. is visionary
and impracticable He proposes TO carry ON
| the war strictly within the bounds of the con
stitGton and yet his own bill violates it in tbc
| most hagrant manner. For instance. he saws II
| is constitutional to establish martial law for
| civilians who are citizens of the United Stotes
in the insurrcctionary districts We shonld
| like TO know whore he finds this in the consti-
tuition? II he will look into il carefully he
viii find, on the contrary. that martial law is
expressly barred. even in the case OF citizens
guilty Of treason. and can be only applied to
when in active service.
The amendments to the constitution are the
bill of rights adopted by the people in addition
TO that Instrument, to "make assurance doubly
sure. and take bond OF fate that ther liberties
should never be troddcn down under any pre-
tence Article fifth Of those amendments de-
clares:-"No person shall be held to answer for

THE SoUTH IN THE MANUFACTURING Business
We perceive that the States of the Southern Con-
feder,cy are beStirring themselves in the rnanafac
turing line with view to provide for their own
wants in those articles FOR which they were hereto
fore dependent upon New England. Cotton mills,
shoe factories yarn and twine manufactures are
being put extensively into operation in Georgia and
other States. An association of Southern merchants
is busily engaged in locating sites for all kind OF
factories being with the assistance of competent
engineers, where the indispensable wafer power can
be made available. In the neghborhood Of Colnm-
bus Georgia there already established cotton
and wooden mills tan yard and shoe factory, grist
mills, and saw mills, Of the capacity and operations
