MISSISSIPPI AGAINST SECESSION,


The Vicksburg Wing continues to FIGHT steadily
lor tne Union, and insists that Mississippi, if the
question were submitted to her, would condemn
disunion schemes by 25, 900 majority. These cues
tons, 1t says, of Union and disunion taxation and
conventions, peace and war, secession and reyolu-
ton, are not party ssues-hey affect every citizen
alike, and while Mississippi may vote for a candi-
date for President because be is a Democrat it by
no means follows that her people will precipitate
themselves into civil war, because he is defeated
Again we say, there need be fear of Mississippi.
She will vote down disunion, whenever the fac
tlonists make the issue, by overwhelming ma
JorIty. Let them make the issue, then, if they
dare.


A NATIONAL CONVENTION PROPOSED.


=. Inc Savannah Republican proposes that Ma
tOnal convention be held, to be composed of three
delegates for each and every State in the Union
and appointed according to the pleasure of each to
meet at the earliest day practicable and to whom

and division between the North and the South
Such body, composed of the wise and prudent
men OF the country, the Republican feels sure could
agree upon plan that would protect all interests
quiet all heart burnings, give peace to the nation
and place US once more on the highway of glori.

with the hope that the selected as the saviours
OF our country in 1861 may catch some of the pa
trlotc fire that animated the breasts of the noble
founders of tho Republic.


REPORTED RUPTURE IN THE CABINET


All the New York journals of yesterday, publish
reports from Washington, that the President and the
Cabinet had serious misunderstanding at confer
ence on Tuesday. The Hcrald's correspondence SAYS
that the President insists that the Constitution of
the United States establishes government, and
he, as the sworn head and executive thereof, must
and will insist upon the execution of the Federal
laws; that the idea of peaceable secession by any
State is falacy which he does not recognize, and
must resist to the full extent of his power In
this view he is supported by Cass, Black, Toucey
and Holt.


On the other hand, the Southern members of the
Cabinet-Floyd, Cobb and Thompson-hod that
the Constitution is merely compact, which NAV
be broken at any moment by a single State, which
may wish to retire from the Confederacy, by de-
claring its wish to do So and that in so doing they
should not be moested by the Federal Govern,
