f all the thirteen original States. They adopted the articles of Confederation which contained a declaration that the Union framed by them should be perpetual, and never altered except in a Congress under the Confederation, and any alteration thus made should be ratified by each State. These articles were short-lived Eleven States of the thirteen seceded from that Union in 1789, not only without the consent, but in opposition to the will of two States which preferred the Confederation--North Carolina and Rhode Island. They seceded by separate State action — each State separating decided in a Convention of its own whether it would ratify the present Constitution, which had been framed and proposed by the General Convention, but was not and could not be valid in any State till ratified by a Convention of such State, and by which a Union could not be formed till ratified by nine States. They did not require all the thirteen States. Then secession, therefore, was not by the consent of

er corps of Virginia, asking for the removal to this State of the remains of Gen. Harry Lee, of revolutionary memory. In doing so, he said he had the honor to present a petition, which, as well from the character of it as from the imposing auspices under which it came, demanded a brief remark. It asked, at the hands of the Legislature, the appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to remove the remains of Gen. Harry Lee, the famous "Light-Horse Harry," of the Revolution, from the soil of Georgia, where they repose, to that of his native State. It came from a vast multitude of petitioners — all the principal military officers of Virginia, and volunteers of every kind — but chiefly, as is natural, of the cavalry corps of the State, as being that arm of the service on which General Lee conferred such distinguished lustre — a lustre that justly entitles him to be called the Murat of the South. He was aware he was not strictly in order in submitting these remarks at this time, but hop<

r law, to mean that it is praiseworthy to steal negroes or to aid them in their flight — that the covenant to deliver a fugitive indicted for a crime against the laws of a slaveholding State is construed to mean nothing unless the act charged in the indictment be a crime also according to law against the State in which the felon has taken refuge. In the case of two of John Brown's followers, murderers and invaders of this State, the Governors of free States refused to deliver--one escaped to Iowa another to Ohio. The refusal was upon a pretext — the real ground, I believe, was because they had done nothing more than invade a slaveholding State, to incite a servile insurrection, which failed because the slaves would not enlist under them. Another object of the present Confederacy was to secure domestic tranquility, which has been perverted by the believers in the "higher law," to keep up constantly excessive agitation on the most exciting subject, slavery; and, by way of variety,

Conventions of the States which have seceded there can be no danger to the right of self-government. The States are not in the Federal Union and they assemble to form a compact for another Union. In the course of Mr. Hopkins' argument, of which the above is a mere outline, he said that the General Government was a mere creature of the Constitution — the federative agent.--Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison both believed in the right of secession. The doctrine had been maintained by the New England States in the Hartford Convention--the right of withdrawal, claimed by one State, entitled all to its use. The legislation of Congress was and had been offensive to the slave States. He cited violations of the Federal compact by the passage of Personal Liberty bills, &c., by non-slaveholding States; traced the rise and progress of the Black Republican party, and said that demagogues and fanatical preachers had created the material of which it was composed, and sent John Brown and other a

Alabama relied on that declaration and on the construction placed upon it d to pass laws designed to obstruct us in maintaining our rights.
