his one, furnished by the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun: The leaders of the Southern movement are consulting as to the best mode of consolidating their interests into a confederacy under a Provisional Government. The plan is to make Senator Hunter, of Virginia, Provisional President, and Jefferson Davis commander-in-chief of the army of defense.

Mr. Hunter's resolutions offered read as follows: Whereas, certain forts, magazines, arsenals dock yvalue of the same if injured or destroyed by the act of any State making the application. Mr. Hunter said, in offering the resolutions, that he had no hope of preserving the Union. His only hope with a cheerful picture of the reconstruction of the Union. Mr. Barker, of Oregon, asked Mr. Hunter if, should the Convention assemble to remodel the Constitution, he would use his influence in nia to maintain the present Constitution and laws until the amendments were decided upon?

his question of the secession of South Carolina. Congress may say a State has a right to withdraw, or may say, we reputed the right of secession — we will send down our armies to coerce you to submission. Do this, and I will a wait the issue." I stayed there, gentlemen, with pain and suspense. I wanted help, and I called for help from Virginia, that good old mother that gave me birth, and I called upon Jeff. Davis, that bright Saladin of the South. [Applause.] They came, Mason and Hunter, [renewed applause,] with the patriots of the country, North and South, and talked with the President.--He then said, "I am content with your policy — we will send no more troops to the harbor of Charleston." Then, gentlemen, for the first time in three years, I felt a sensation of delight in my heart. I then thought the question capable of peaceable solution, and though you may not think it worthy of mention, I devoutly returned thanks to Almighty God. The speaker next alluded to the

The people must rely upon themselves and demand their whole rights — nothing less should content them. Southern members who listened to Mr. Hunter, say that his speech was worthy of any age, and that some of its eloquent passages will in after times be repeated in the schools as models of chaste and powerful rhetoric. Such is the anxiety now to hear the great men of the nation, that one stands no chance of getting a comfortable seat unless he goes up as early as ten o'clock. Many old women are said to leave home at daybreak, taking their knitting and a snack with them, in order to spend the day in the Senate galleries. Yesterday pe
