See resolutions of the General Assembly of Virginia, in March, 1847, concerning the measure known as the Wilmot Proviso, in relation to Slavery in the region just taken from Mexico. He reminded them of the dangers which had just menaced their State by the raid of John Brown and twenty men, at Harper's Ferry, of the implacable condition of Northern opinion concerning Slavery; and the rapid increase of Abolition sentiment in the Free-labor States. He reminded them that the South had a right to demand the repeal of all laws hurtful to Slavery; the disbanding of every society which was agitating the Northern mind against Southern institutions ; and the surrender of the po

A hundred guns were fired both at Montgomery and Mobile, by order of the Governor (Moore) of Alabama, in honor of the event. In the latter city there was also a military parade. Bells were rung and oratory was heard. At Macon, Georgia, bells rang, bonfires blazed, cannon thundered, processions moved, and the main street of the city was illuminated. A hundred guns were fired at Pensacola. The same number were discharged in New Orleans, where the Pelican flag On the great seal of Louisiana is the device of a Pelican, hovering over a nest of young ones in the attitude of protection, at the same time feeding them.

the exact day when an ordinance of secession would be passed in the coming State Convention; that Commissioners would be sent to Washington to treat on the terms of separation; that the demand would be made for the surrender of the forts in Charleston harbor into the hands of insurgents, and if surrender should be refused, armed South Carolinians would take them. He spoke of the weakness of the National Government with Buchanan at its head, and the consequently auspicious time for them then to This brought out William Porcher Miles, who assured the Convention that they had nothing to fear from any hostile action on the part of President Buchanan.

The telegraph instantly sent its swift messages with the intelligence to every accessible part of the Republic; and within twenty-four hours after the passage of the ordinance, the nation was profoundly moved by this open revolutionary act. Three days afterward, a railway train came in from Savannah with twenty delegates from an organization there, known as the Sons of the South. They represented, they said, three hundred and fifty gentlemen in Georgia, and were authorized to offer their services to the Governor of South Carolina, to aid in maintaining her noble and independent position.
