We feel it to be CUR duty to say to the Couserva-
tiyes of the State, that the Conservative cause as
represented in the present Legislature is in serious
peril There is danger that the Destructives will
find enough allies to carry the elections yet to be
made, and to shape the legislation of the session.
We assai no one, and we offer no defence at pres
ent for any but We call on our readers to bear in
mind that we have uniformly urged harmony in
the party, so that firm front could be presented,
at all times and on all questions, to the Destruc-
tives If the latter should obtain control of the
Legislature it will not be our ault the fault of
those with whom we act. The "straitest sect |"
claim no superiority, nor will they admit any infe.
riority They must be the equals of other Conser-
vatves-they will not be allies of any. Gov. Vance
has it in his power this soeek to save the Conser-
vatve party, or to so weaken and demoralize it as
to reduce it practically to minority in the Legs.
lature. lie has this power only because be hap
pens to be Governor at this time. Will he prove
himself equal to the occasion? If he is states
man, and if he is really devoted to Conservative
principles, he will. This week will decide Mean.
time our skirts are clear. No one questions the
soundiess of those Conservatives who voted against
Gov. Vance. A large majority of the members OF
the Legislature who voted for him are true Ccnser-
vatves; bat we fear there are enough in the two
Houses who voted for him, and who themselves re-
ceived large Destructive votes at the polls to give
the control in the Legislature to the Destructives
provided they should fuse with them. This fusion
depends on Gov. Vance. He can encourage and
accomplish it, or he can prevent it What will he
do! We shall soon know.

Constitutional Liberty.

The following admirable extracts are from the

7th December, 1851, on the subject of test oaths
and sedtion. These extracts, with those we have
made above from Mr. Webster, should be printed in
gold and hung up in every house in the land.

Mr.. Foote'S Resolutions.

I Mr.. Foote'S Resolutions.
In the House of Representatives, on the 30th
November, Mr.. Foote offered the following resolu.
tons:
Resolced, That however justifable it might DO, in
q case of "intoerable oppression" for any one or
more of these States to withdraw from the existing
Confederative Union; yet there is nothing in the
present condition Of public affairs to justify such
extreme action, and that it would 5e alike unwise
and unpatrotic for any one Of said States, any
number of them less than the whole, to make a
separate peace with the common enemy, or to en-
gage in movements looking to such result; but
that it is unquestionably allowable for said States
in their highest souereign capacity to confer to-
gether, in general convention or otherwise in a
manner not repugnant to the organic compact, for
the purpose Of lmparting to their common Agent
the Confederate government such additional powers
as may be needed for the efficient prosecution Of
the pending war for Independence or with view
to amplifying so far as may be judged needful the
existing treaty making powers of said government,
in order to secure as early cessation Of hostilites
and restoration of peace would be compatible
with the honor, the safety and the permanent hap
pness Of the people of said Confederate States.
Resolned, That the present condition of the coun-
try is such to render it emnentiy desirable that
for the purposes specified, convention of these
States in their highest sovereign CAPACITY should
, be convoked without delay, aud that if such con-
vocation should be judged for tho present imprac-
Icable it would be desirable that each of said States
should with as little delay as possible" appoint
limited number of Commissioners with power to
confer freely and fraternally with each other touch
ing the present condition of the country, and Of
altering such advisory suggestions to said Conted.
enlargement as might be calculated to prove
advantageous in the further prosecution of the
existing war, or conducive to the establishment Of
an early and honorable peace.
Reso1oed, That the resolutions be referred to q
colamittee of the House, to be composed Of one
mer ober from each State, and that said committee
be Instructed report thereupon at their earliest
convenience.
These resolutions were laid on the table by the
House, on the Cd, by a vote Of SO to 10. Those
who voted in the negative are, Messrs. Bell Of Ga
Boyce of S. c.; Colysr and Foote Of Tenn.
Cruckshank of Ala Lumpkin Of Miss ; AeMullir
of Va; and Fuller. Gilmer, J. NJ. Leach, Logan
Rausay and Smith of North Carolina.
Nh. FowLss REsoLuEICNs--We invite attention
to the resolutions introduced in the House of Com
mons en- Friday last on the subject Of ha6sas cor
pus, by Gen. Fowle, Of Wake County. They er'
BRET but they cover the whole ground. Now il
the time for the Legislature Of the State to announce
the true doctrine on this vita subject We tras
thescresolutions will be takennp and passed through
both Houses without delay.
