ving determined to resume a separate and equal position among nations, deems it due to herself and the remaining United States of America and the nations of the world, that she should declare the causes which led to the act. In 1765 that portion of t Union, and all States North of that live have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. In the formation of the federal government each State was recognjudicial tribunals will be made sectional; that war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States.--The guarantees of the Constitution will then no longer exist; equal rights of the States will be lost.

the utmost dispatch. In the event of a universal secession of the Southern States, it is not at all unlikely that volunteer companies of Wide-Awakes will be sent to garrison Old Point Comfort, which, being still in the hands of the Government, can be easily occupied and defended by undisciplined troops, whilst the whole disposable regular force and the Navy will be brought to bear upon the forts in Charleston harbor, either to reinforce and strengthen them, if still in the hands of the United States, or to recapture them if taken by the Carolinians. We have no expectation that the U. States will attempt to send troops through Virginia and other Southern States, to attack South Carolina. When such a possibility was suggested in the Nullification era, ocean steam transportation had not been inaugurated. Now, an army, when it is raised, can be conveyed to Charleston in a few days, whereas, to march the same number of troops, with all the munitions of war, through Virginia and North

the nullification ordinance of 1833 was a formal and full document in comparison with this, prescribing a cause of resistance to the laws and authority of the United States, and on this ground the proclamation of Gen. Jackson was made very severe and direct. Even that ordinance did not dissolve the Union. [from the Philadelpf the Union, and that all the laws of the Federal Government and the treaties which she, as one of the thirty-three States, had assented to as binding upon the United States, and to be abrogated only after notice to foreign governments, are of no effect as far as she is concerned. This is as cool a proceeding towards foreign goverlina, or receive or negotiate with her agents. The duty of the Federal Government is plain. It is to enforce the laws in every part of the territories of the United States, without regard to the attitude assumed by any portion of the inhabitants therein. It is to defend, by all the power of the Government, the property and the a

The Commissioners to Washington will appear with full powers as joint commissioners.

Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, have assembled in Convention, when final State action shall take place.

istent hatred manifested towards the Southern people. Their peculiar institutions are of English origin; their peculiar productions are the great support of English manufactures and commerce; their peculiar conservatism ought to be agreeable to English sympathies, and their political influence has always been exerted in behalf of friendly relations with Great Britain, and has, on more than one occasion, successfully resisted the efforts of Western and Northern politicians to involve the United States in a war with England. Nevertheless, for the last thirty years, an English crusade has been carried on against Southern institutions; the whole power of the press has been brought to bear upon slavery and slaveholders, till they are execrated throughout Great Britain, till Southerners are shunned socially, as well as proscribed politically, and made to assume the same hideous guise in European imaginations that "Bomba" and Francis Joseph are in those of our countrymen, by the malignant
