Florida Convention.

Tallahassee, Fla.,Jan, 5
--Judge McGhee, of Madison, was elected permanent President of the Canvention.

The morning session was consumed in perfecting the organization.

At the afternoon session resolutions were offered declaring the right of Florida to secede; that there is cause for the exercise of that right, and that it is the duty of the State to prepare for it.

A discussion resulted on the policy of the immediate passing of these resolutions, and they were finally made the special order for Monday--to which time the Convention adjourned.
