e of the Republic. He exhorted the people to be prepared for revolution, for it was surely at hand. He knew how plastic would be the material of the Legislature and the coming Convention in the hands of the few leaders like himself, and that these leaders had power to accomplish the fulfillment of their own prophecies concerning the course of events under their control. Memminger was one of the managers of a league of conspirators in Charleston known as The 1860 Association, formed in September previous, for the avowed purpose of maddening the people, and forcing them into acquiescence in the revolutionary scheme of the conspirators. As early as the 19th of November, Robert N. Gourdin, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Association, in a circular letter said :--The North is preparing to soothe and conciliate the South, by disclaimers and overtures. The success of this policy would be disastrous to the cause of Southern union and independence, and it is necessary to resi

and Houston himself actually renounced his allegiance to his Government, and, descending from the proud patriotic position which he at first assumed, became a maligner of the President, and used the vocabulary of treasonable speech with great fluency. He declared that he was loyal so long as there was any loyalty left in Texas. So early as the 18th of May, in a speech at Independence, he recognized the validity of the Southern Confederacy, and recommended obedience to its government. In September following, he found it necessary to explain his position, which he did in a long letter, in which he declared that Union and reconstruction were obsolete terms. If there is any Union sentiment in Texas, he said, I am not aware of it. He charged Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet with the crime of usurping the powers of Congress and waging war against Sovereign States, thereby absolving their allegiance to the National Government. He also charged that they had, with more than Vandalic malignity

called the people of the Free-labor States, and upon showing to the world that South Carolina was an independent nation, that so early as the first of January, 1861. when that nation was just nine days old — a nine days wonder --it was proposed to adopt for it a new system of civil time. Charleston Correspondence of the Associated Press, January 1, 1861. Whether it was to be that of Julius Caesar, in whose calendar the year began in March; or of the French Jacobins, whose year began in September, and had five sacred days called Sansculottides; or of the Eastern satrap Who counted his years from the hour when he smote His best friend to the earth, and usurped his control; And measured his days and his weeks by false oaths, And his months by the scars of black crimes on his soul, is not recorded. Three days after the Montgomery Convention had formed a so-called government, by the adoption of a Provisional Constitution, and the election of Jefferson Davis to be the chief standar

ve the right to summon any more troops to the field, should appoint seven commissioners, who should accompany the army in its marches, with authority to receive from Jefferson Davis proposals looking to an armistice, or obedience to the National Government. The proviso was rejected, and the bill was passed. Two days afterward, July 15. Benjamin Wood, of New York, proposed that Congress should take measures for the assembling of a convention of all the States, at Louisville, Kentucky, in September following, to devise measures for restoring peace to the country. It as tabled, and on the same day, Allen, of Ohio (opposition), moved that when the States now in rebellion should desist, it was the duty of the Government to suspend the further prosecution of the war; and that it was not the object of the war to interfere with Slavery. This was ruled out of order, when Vallandigham offered a long series of resolutions, in tenor like his speech on the 10th, condemning nearly every import
