ainst the enforcement of this military law. Resolved, That when our State requires our property and lives in defence of what we may consider her honor and the safety of her citizens and their property, we will freely give both; but we are not willing to surrender up our property, liberty and lives to an unconstitutional and intolerant act of our Legislature. Gen. Sam Houston, in a speech delivered in Texas, a few days since, said: "However much he might regret the election of Lincoln, still, if constitutionally elected, he ought to and should be inaugurated. 'Yes! they would have to walk over his dead body if he was not.'" The Governor was very severe on Calhoun and South Carolina, but landed Benton, Clay, and others. He never missed an opportunity to give a thrust, and heap abuse upon South Carolina and her doctrines. The brig that hoisted the Palmetto flag in the harbor of Charleston this week, was not from Boston, but from Newburyport, Mass., and belongs
men turned out and marched down Main street, amid a great display of fire-works. Judge McGrath and Messrs. Conner, Colcock and Cunningham delivered addresses. --Mr. McGrath remarked that the people, the Legislature and Heaven say that South Carolina has a right to secede. If the Government at Washington says she has not, then prove it by taking the right away. Mr. Colcock said that, although the present crowd was a large one, he wished to see one more person present, and that was Abraham Lincoln. He would take him by the hand, bring him to the platform, and tell him to look upon that crowd, and then ask him if he ever expected to wave the sceptre of President over their heads. He said he had no doubt that "honest old Abe" would answer with down cast eyes, "Never!" Augusta, Ga., Nov. 10. --The Minute Men's meeting adjourned after hearing exciting speeches. They appointed a delegation of ten Minute Men to attend a Military Convention, to be held next week at Milledgeville
interests of society require. Unusual excitement at the time prevailed. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Cumming, Wright, Cone, Sneed, Montgomery, Dorue, Ford, and others, and a conservative sentiment prevailed. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Counter public meeting at Augusta. Augusta, Nov. 10--A large public meeting is in progress to-night. The Savannah resolutions were unanimously adopted, after having been so amended as to declare that the only remedy for Lincoln's election is immediate secession. This was received with loud and prolonged cheering. It was moved and adopted that the thanks of the people of the South are due to the gallant men North who attempted to roll back the tide of fanaticism at the recent election. It was resolved, further, that the meeting pledge themselves to submit to a rate of taxation sufficient to raise a million of dollars to organize and arm the military of the State. A further resolution was adopted, condem
How Mr. Lincoln voted. The public have been entertained with a telegraphic dispatch informing the world "how Mr. Lincoln voted." It is edifying to learn that "he advanced as rapidly as possible to the voting place," exhibiting a commendable solicitude to "vote early," and that he "handed in his ticket" with his own royal, nee rail-splitting fingers. It is pleasing to be assured that he "cut off his own name" from the ticket, an example which the American people would have done well to foMr. Lincoln voted." It is edifying to learn that "he advanced as rapidly as possible to the voting place," exhibiting a commendable solicitude to "vote early," and that he "handed in his ticket" with his own royal, nee rail-splitting fingers. It is pleasing to be assured that he "cut off his own name" from the ticket, an example which the American people would have done well to follow.--After performing this ponderous achievement, he "walked back," whether fast or slow is not stated, amid the cheers of the Republicans, which he "acknowledged by raising his hat and bowing" with his accustomed grace and elegance.
Wide awake Rejoicing. --The Wide Awakes of Kingston, N. Y., celebrated the victory of Lincoln by breaking the windows of the Democratic newspaper office, and of the houses of all the prominent Democrats in town. The house of the Rev. Dr. Hoes, who had been guilty of the offence of illuminating for the Little Giant's parade, had not a whole pane of glass left in the front window.

of the South, and not the South of the North.--Botts and his crew may go with Lincoln, and enjoy the fleshpots together, but we shall go with the South, and for Sousion. If we discard altogether the assurances offered by prominent friends of Lincoln a few days before election, that he would not use his position for sectional pressing our wrongs. The time which must intervene between the inauguration of Lincoln and the securement of legislative ascendancy by his party, could be employed a The Fredericksburg (Va.) Recorder, speaking of the incoming administration of Lincoln, says: We should require the execution of the fugitive slave law, non-inions, and last, and by no means least, a fair representation of the South in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, for it is idle to talk about a Union in name if it be not a Uniont for our rights — to this we will consent, and to nothing less. We believe Mr. Lincoln can administer the Government upon such a basis, and if he does we shall sta

Politics in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Nov. 11. --A Republican Ward Club having passed a resolution tendering their services to Lincoln to support him if opposed by the Minute Men, and it being understood that the resolution would be offered at the Continental Club, there was a large meeting at the latter Saturday, which was addressed by prominent citizens in opposition to all efforts to coerce the South. South Carolina, it was said, was excited because they erroneously supposed the Republican party proposed emancipation. They should rely on conservative Pennsylvania, who will respect their rights. Union resolutions were adopted.
s of "Sit down," "Make that fellow shut up."] Let us remain here till we get our diplomas, and then we can return to our native States, and if need be, we can act the part of defenders of our homes, as well as render assistance to those who fall wounded. A Voice--"Get out." Dr. Sims moved as an amendment to the first and second resolutions: Resolved, That we consider it our bounden duty to return to our homes as soon as any of the Southern States secede. Several students here interrupted the proceedings by shouting out at once that they wouldn't have the amendment. One called out, "Let's all go home to our States and tell them to secede." Cheers, and cries of "That's right! Let's all go home." Great confusion prevailed, in the midst of which it was declared that the amendment was carried. The Chairman announced that the meeting was at an end. Seventeen Southern law students have left the Cambridge law school on account of the election of Lincoln.
Meeting of Southern Legislatures --In view of the menaced assemblage and subsequent action of Southern Legislatures in case of Lincoln's election, it becomes a matter of interest to know when those Legislatures meet, although some of them are to be called together in special session immediately.
