CAIRO, August New Orleans dates to
the Doth ult. have been received. The Con-
stitutional Convention, before adjournment,
By 4 vote OF 6S to S, adopted resolutions de-
nOuncing State rights and State sovereignty,
interpreted as they have been into the juSti-
tication of secession as Subversive Of our
form of Government, and tending to confu-
sion, anarchy and national destruction.
They hold that primary allegiance is due the
Government of the United States; that the
Constitution and Laws of the United States
are supreme; anything in the Constitution
and Laws Of any State to the contrary not
withstanding; that no State Convention,
whether fairly representing the people or not,
has any right to abSolve us from that ale
glance, consequently the ordinance OF scceS-
Sion has always been null and void.
ResoIrea, That We are in favor OF so amend
ing the Constitution as to secure the abol-
ishment of slavery throughout the United
States.

mostly taken 4 year since, arrived at New
