ed accordingly. And if you recede from your position, you will not only bring shame npor yourselves, but you will degrade your high miinded Representatives, who were willing o olfer up their property, and to hazard their lives in obedience to your behests. But it is vain for me to write in this strain. I am speaking to men of courage-men "de scended from fathers of war proof." You have- no choice left you, but to disavow the acts of your accredited agents, and retire disgracefully from a contest of your own waging, or to mcet the issue squarely, as men who " love honor more than they fear dcath." Those by whom you were begotten would never have hesitated, which course to take. But they were men of valiant iearts -men jealous of their rights and liberties; and they were willing to die rather than sub mit to a shade of injustice. They made war against a most powerful government, which was better and freer than yours, for the sim ple preample of an act, which was false in principle. You, too, unless you be degene rate bastards, inheriting the lordly naines, without the blood of your manly ancestors, will prepare for a trial.of your metal-for a struggle tiht may be long, and perhaps sig nalized by hazardous and bloody enterprises. The Convention Bill, under which you have just elected members to a State Con vention, and the whole action of the last Session of the Legislature were intended to be the beginning of a confliet, never to be abandoned until we obtain " indemnity for the past and security for the future." If it was not designed to commit you to separate State action, why were three huirlred ihous and dollars appro)riated to purchase muni tions of war? Why were one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars applied to the building of War-Steamers, if tlie Legisla tuare purposed only to make a little bluster, and then submit like a lamb to the shearer? Set speeches and inflated resolutions are the tLsual conductors of an excess of vapor and steam. But if the State had deternined to renounce all further action on its failure to obtain a Southern Congress, I assure yon, that a Convention of her people would never have been caled. It wrs urged, with force, by those whose aims were directed solely to obtaining a Southern Congress, that the Legislature had full power, to appoint, or to provide for the election of deputies to that body. And the objection to that mode was not, in fact. on the grounds of its unconstitu ionality; but it was based on the supposi tion, that its friends proposed that the action of the State should determine with that mea sure. What scruples could any man have to The appointment of Deputies to a Southern Congress, who could support the Convention Bill of the last Session? That bill really an swers the double purpose of calling a Con vention of the State, and of electing deputies to the Congress. If it wvas a violation of a member's oath to provide for a Southern Congress, it was certainly a greater viohation of it, to provide both for that assemably, and jStte Convention at the same time. But a ~~*~~Convetion is a stronger. measure of ~ ~ i theyear2050 ar1therfore the c;"onstitutional objections set fore by the ad eoates of the former mode to ~T&latter, were only specious, anid used for the sake of argument and for carrying a point. But could there, in truth, be any conscietntious scruples to the adoption of either policy? Are they not both remedies strictly within the purrietv of the Constitution ? We have the right to assemble together, and consult together on our political condition, when and where we please. And we have the othier inestimable right of petitioning for a redress of grievances, which is specially granted us in the Constitution. and interwoven with our whole progress in civil liberty, fronm the time our British Ancestors obtained from William and Mary, the Bill of Rights, to the present dark day at which I write. The right of a State also, to assemble in its sovereign ca pacity, and to take counsel for its own safety, and even to secede, if necessary to its free dom and to the security and happiness of its citizens, is equally as indisputable under theI Constitution, the written compact of the States, as the right of petition itself. This is the doctrine of the very framers of thamt instrument, and it has been promulged and enforced by .JEFFERsoN and MADTSON, and by all the abler expounders of the same, from the day of its adoption to this sad conjunctunrc.

Eron,-Our Cotton Mlarket has beenm slowly but steadily declining the last two weeks, quotations ranging from 10 to 12.4 cents. The heavy stock in Liverpool, together with increased receipts in this country compared with last year, and the general opinion that planters arc prepar ing to plant largely, bids fair to kecp the prices of our staple a lectle two low for the poects~ of those who have beeni dealing in the article of late.

Dien on the 31st January. at his resilence in the 59mth year of his ave, BENJAIN STEVENS, .'q., after a lingering ilhiess of several years of Consuiptiot. Mr. S-ravevs has left an afi'ectionate, though li')pless and much afilieted widow, seven chil dren and many friends to mourn their loss; yet they have a consolation left tlien, that will bear then up under the most trying afilietions : that he departed this lit'e in peace, and that his spirit hath winged its way to tile bright maioitinis of eternal glory. Esquire S-revrAs was a man faithful to his promises, kind and obliging to his neighbors, an al'etionate and kind husband and father, and a gooid and kind master. Ile belonged to no Pro fessional Denomination, thongh he professed oi his last bed of affliction, that lie had a strong hope that God, for Christ's sake, had pardoned his sins, and that lie was perfectly resigned to leave this world of sorrow and afflition-his hope was strong and unwavering that hie would meet his God in peace, and his earnest prayer was, that God woult take his soul home to glory. I us lying request to his chilren was that they would pray to their God every day while they lived. ie requested his friends, who stood around his bed ,ide a few days before his death, to pray for him, which they willingly agreed to do. Ile requested then to pray that the Lord might take himt to himself :s soon as consistant with his divine will, and also that he might die an easy death. And it did appear that the prayers of God's people were answered, for a few miin utes before his departure, he felt that his time had conic-he bid his fanily and friends present a final farewell, and died in about one minute af tvrwards. May his body rest. in peace, until that great day when God shall call the (lead from their graves to siand before his tribunal bar, and may his soul find a resting place at God's right hand forever and ever. May his afflicted family pre pare in life for death, that they will be able to imeet him ini glory, where partings will be no more A FRIEND. D on the 3d instant. SARAn CAROLINE, the daug'hmter' or Dr. John and Mrs. Sophia Lake, in the fifth year of her age. She was an intelligent, engaging, and sweet little ohild. The hearts of her parents were often made glad, by her ath'ectionite and confiding temper, and by her study, young as she was, to be dutiful and obliging to those who had the care of her person. We are apt to think the child we have lost the dearest of the flock, and in the ex eess of our grief, to forget the imperfections, and i:magnify the virtues of the decesed, but we can seak as a friei, without the partiality, that sus picion ascribes to thme statemenicts of the father or the mother: and we are justified in expressing the belief, that no person of her age, of our ae riuaintance, ever g:ve higher evidence of a vigo rous and sprightly intellect than did ouri lost little " Care." Before she was four years of age, she relieved the tedium of many of tie noments of the writer of this unaffeeted tribute, by singing, amd often repenting to him several of the sweetest songs of the day. But, while yet without sin, she has been kind ly removed fromn the trouhils of this wreteled state, and though torn from her fond parents here, she has been received into the bosom of her Father in IHeaven.
