These additions will go very near to bringing the power of the North high enough to change the Constitution so as to suit their own views. There is also a process going on by which some of the slave States are becoming free States. In some the slave property is on the decrease.--The census shows this to be the case in Delaware and Maryland, and in other States on the same parallel the relative increase and decrease is against the slave population. The anti-slavery feeling is so predominant in the North, that owners of slaves in these States feel that their property is doomed, and they haste to get rid of it.

question of the right of secession. That question had, with his people, passed beyond the field of argument. If the right be not in the Constitution, the people of Mississippi knew there was a higher law — not the higher law of their foes --but the higher law of the people's power, when they put the lance in its rest and decide the issue in the field. When the North shall make up its mind to coerce us, we shall meet the issue. He hoped for peace in all sections, and trusted that Providence would so ordain that the friends of liberty throughout the world should not have to mourn over the madness and folly of a conflict of arms on this continent; but if war must come, they were preparing for it, and the Southern people would meet it with firmness. The justice of their cause was a tower of strength. When the hour comes (he continued) we know, however you may dread to withdraw from the Union and all its revered associations, where Virginia will then be found. Her sons will be

a Government where hostility to them is the law of administration — a Government not founded on the policy of equal rights, but on the policy of hatred to the South and her institutions. We are not opposed to the principle of a confederated Union. It was no fault of ours that a form of confederation with the Northern States ceased to be desirable. What, then is the remedy? It is that which we have adopted: a Union of States with common hopes and common interests. The destiny of the South Virginia now holds in her hands.--Let Virginia take her stand by her Southern sisters, and the revolution will be a peaceful one. Grim-visaged war will smooth his wrinkled front, and we shall no longer hear of the despotic power of coercion by the Federal Government. North Carolina, Tennessee, and the other border States will take their stand by Virginia, We shall then have a united South, with fifteen stars on our banner, and a territory more compact and more desirable than one with the Northe

e the South. Give him war, pestilence, famine, anything sooner than that. With regard to the African slave trade, he said emphatically that the Southern Confederacy had done all it could to dispel the illusion in this respect. The South would never open the trade. There never was a greater delusion than a contrary belief. On the Free Trade question, he said it was the purpose of the Southern Government to support itself by duties on imports. A large majority of the members at Montgomery were in favor of such a measure. The Vice President takes this ground, and think ten per cent. would be sufficient to support the Government. As to the prohibition of inter-State slave trade, he said it was true this was in the power of Congress. If Virginia goes with the North he thought it would be prohibited. Whatever the South could do in that respect, under such circumstances, she would do. This, however, was not a threat. He believed if Virginia joined the South, it would no

Commissioners. The President.--Gentlemen of the Convention, in pursuance of a resolution adopted by your body, I now introduce to you the Hon. Fulton Anderson, Commissioner on behalf of the State of Mississippi. Mr. Anderson, after a graceful acknowledgment of the reception, said he intended to detain the Convention but a few minutes, for the purpose of briefly discharging the duty imposed on him by his State, and would then yield the floor to the Commissioners from Georgia and South Carolina, States older and more distinguished, and having a more ancient claim than the State he represented.--They would present more conspicuously than be could the causes which operated on the States which have recently taken steps in vindication of their rights. In the name of the people of Mississippi, he expressed sentiments of admiration and esteem for the ancient and renowned Commonwealth of Virginia. Nothing that concerned her honor failed to create a deep interest in his State. H

ays done what they could to put it under the ban in Christendom. We had a right to argue from the past to the future. If the North has done all it could in the past, so it will in the future, and if it can, will abolish slavery in the States. The speaker alluded to the fact that the North is constantly acquiring the power to abolish slavery by the acquisition of new States. The public territory is practically Northern territory, and every State that comes in will be a free State. Kansas should satisfy every one of that. These additions will go very near to bringing the power of the North high enough to change the Constitution so as to suit their own views.

ry. The whole people there regard it as a moral and social evil, and in the course of events, it would merge from passive into active hatred. In the past, the North invariably exerted against slavery the whole amount of power which it had to exert.--They abolished it in the magnificent empire which Virginia presented them in 1787, and in every State and Territory North of 36,30; then endeavored to put the Wilmot Proviso on all other Territories of the Union, and succeeded in Washington and Oregon. They had taken all that was acquired by the Mexican war, and appropriated it to the free country. They do all they can to make negroes free — maltreat their pursuers, and make raids to murder all classes and sexes; and when the chief perpetrator is caught and punished, half the North goes into mourning. If any of the perpetrators escape, they are shielded by the law. This is what they have done against slavery — they have always done what they could to put it under the ban in Christendom

nd redress as the circumstances might demand. The Legislature also adopted resolutions setting forth a catalogue of vevancis, and suggesting such remedies as the people ought to adopt. These resolutions did not grow out of the fact that a Northern man was elected to the Presidency, and that the South was to be excluded from all there in the government, but out of the fact that the North had declared war upon our institutions, and a purpose to destroy them. The Convention assembled at Jackson on the 7th of January, and on the 9th, by an overwhelming majority, proceeded to adopt an ordinance of secession, by which Mississippi dissolved her connection with those people who had dishonored her, without the hope expectation, or wish of ever being restated, and with a purpose to hold them as her enemies in war, but in peace her friends. Another clause in the ordinance expressed her wish to form a Union with all those States which might secede, upon the basis of the Constitution of th

o show that it would be to the material, social, religious and political interest of Virginia to unite with the South. He spoke of the value of the cotton crop, and its rapid increase yearly — of the sugar, rice, naval stores, and other staple productions. --With their immense surplus, amounting to $200,000,000 to $230,000,000 annually, the Cotton States purchase their articles of consumption. Very little of this was spent at home. --He then went on to urge Virginia to take the place of New England and New York, in furnishing goods for the South. She would have it if she separated from the North, and with the same protection that has built up the manufactories in that section. He believed that the Southern Government would guarantee full protection, but if Virginia wants more, let her come in a proper spirit to the Southern Congress, and it would be given. This point was urged at considerable length, and with much force. In alluding to the fugitive slave evil, the speaker sa
