Notwithstanding all the precautions, however, there was considerable confusion in the lobby, which at one moment, seemed likely to result in knock-down arguments.

Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, offered a resolution, which was adopted, authorizing the Committee on Federal Relations to employ a Clerk. Mr. Dorman, of Rockbridge, desired to state, before the Convention proceeded to the execution of the order of the day, that the Governor of the Commonwealth was prevented from attending here to-day by the state of his health; otherwise he would have been present to participate in the reception of the Southern Commissioners.

Greater than we once went to his own, and his own received him not; yet he became a great light, illuming all the world. In conclusion, Mr. Benning presented-the Georgia Ordinance of Secession, earnestly invited Virginia to unite with her, and thanked the Convention for the attention given to his long address. As he took his seat, there was a hearty demonstration of applause. The Georgia Secession Ordinance was then read by the Clerk, and, on motion of Mr. Preston, of Montgomery, laid on the table and ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Preston, the further execution of the order of the day was postponed until Tuesday. On motion of Mr. Early, the resolution adopted on Saturday, in regard to tickets for this day, was renewed for to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Staples, the Convention adjourned.

tored under the Constitution.--Long and vainly had she hoped that every section of the Confederacy would recognize the rights of all, and that they might continue together. Could we have believed the evil temporary, we might still have hopes; but the present state of things is the sure result of the growth of false teachings in the Northern section of the Confederacy. He then gave a history of the Abolition aggression, beginning with the Missouri controversy, and read the language of Jefferson, 40 years ago, showing that he regarded that as the knell of the Union. Then traced it through subsequent years of disregard of constitutional obligations, until it terminated in the irrepressible conflict, of which a Black Republican President and his party were about to reap the benefit. But the South could place herself beyond its power. He did not mean to argue the question of the right of secession. That question had, with his people, passed beyond the field of argument. If the r

its eventual abolition in the States themselves. As a part of the history of the controversy, he read from a speech of Lincoln in 1858, quoting his opinion that the slavery agitation would never cease till a crisis was reached and passed; that theis hate. To satisfy any mind that might doubt this proposition, he then read a few sentences from a speech delivered by Lincoln, in October, 1858, wherein he said that he always hated slavery as much as any Abolitionist; that he was always an old n the Union. A separation from the North would be a complete remedy. The Personal Liberty Bills and the election of Lincoln had much to do with the action of Georgia. The Personal Liberty bills were direct, deliberate infractions of the Consti bound by the Constitution if she chose to say so. A bargain broken on one side is broken on all sides. The election of Lincoln was the occasion Georgia chose to select. The speaker went on to show that it would be to the material, social, rel

hing that could prevent the abolition of her slavery. This was the main cause. He maintained that it was true, that unless there was such a separation slavery would be finally abolished in the South. In the first place, the North hates slavery — hates it willingly, and hates it intentionally. An administration was about to be inaugurated founded upon this hate. To satisfy any mind that might doubt this proposition, he then read a few sentences from a speech delivered by Lincoln, in October, 1858, wherein he said that he always hated slavery as much as any Abolitionist; that he was always an old line Whig; and that if he was in Congress he would vote for the abolition of slavery. These were pregnant sentences. Hatred of slavery as extreme as hatred can exist. His political principle is that his action against slavery is not to be restrained by the Constitution of the United States, even as interpreted by the Supreme Court. This is the sentiment of the chosen leader of the

s. If doomed to disappointment, it would be a source of infinite regret to his people. He did not design, in whatever he might say of the enemies of our institutions, to include that great body of conservative people at the North who had manfully stood by us. He should ever remember with gratitude their struggles to maintain the Union as it was governed by our fathers. His remarks would apply to those who have persistently assailed Southern rights and Southern honor. On the 29th of November, the Legislature of Mississippi, by a unanimous vote, called a Convention of the people of the State, to take into consideration their relations with the Federal Government, and adopt such measures of protection and 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 Presi
