Wo havo excluded our usual variety to s] make room tor the speech delivered by Uov. 8< IIauuond, at liarnwoll, on the ultimo. 11 It, as well as everythingolsoemanating from this distinguished man, is worthy the careful consideration of the people of the State, and whole South. It has been propar- s( HRsat care, end is distinguished fur n] Polity, elaborateness, and candor that ^ ^^^^^^usrvades its entire length lie treats the slavery question in a masterly manner, and ^ ^ has done more in this speech and his other Cl % writings to porpetuato the institution than any man now living.

It is tlio course pointed out by wisdom and patriotism, and should sink docp into the hearts of the conservative citi- j, 7.011s of the South. In our present condition, ovcrv man who holds to tlin fuitli of Mm fintli. ors of th? Republic?let him bo from the cast, north or wost?should bo regarded and treat- ^ cd as a friend: any otlior course would bo unwiso, unjust aud ungrateful. It is to be J anion tod that our friends in the free States aio numerically so woak,but it is no good reason why they should not have our sympathy and support. Without their assistance, we havo nothing but our moral power to make us hoard in tho administration of tbo federal ^ government. In a word, the South is numerically impotent for good or evil in the conduct ^ of governmental atfairs. And this brings us to the vital point in tho honoraoio Scnutor's speech?iho future destiny of tho Soutli. To begin, this is mere speculation, predicated upon such facts, ar- ( gumont and reason, as may bo within tho ( possession or mental reach of every one. It is truo, as affirmed by Senator Hammond, that, elavory is stronger to-day?moro firmly Axed in tho minds of those who aro surroun- 1 aeu ny it, una in me estimation ot tne publio 1 at largo, both nt homo nnd abroad?than at any form or period. Whilst this is truo, its enemies here, and i j ovoryulime, aro stirred 1 by intriguing politicians to pour out their ' wrath upon its rightful possessors, and sweep ' it from tho face of the earth. With him, we ' bolievo thoy must bejunsuccessful. But to 1 tho point: can wo maintain thu institution, 1 with our rights under it, in the Union ? Our 1 Sonator thinks wo can, and gives reasons for > tno laitu mat 13 in mm. ihey may bo goou and sufficient onos, but they do not satisfy our mind. Frankly, thou, wo arc convinced that tlio Union?not that I'iMiioned by tlio fra" mors of the constitution- will, if woromain in it, prove destructive, not only to tho institution of slavery, but to our orico rovorcd form nn.l Hyrttein of republican governmont.

North and wost mobocracy, dressed in showy colors by SEWAKoand hia bluck republican can, has usurped, in many instances, constitutional government an<H;?w. It is no longer a Union of toleration, justice and concord, but one of passion, prejudioo and discord. For tho Union, " n8 it was," we have rcverence and great vonortion ; but, in our humblo opinion, that Union has coascd to osist?and perhaps wo, and thoso who may eomo aftov us, may not look if.i libft n^inn f Wo havo said this much in justice to our- 1 self.

His Excellency re- j jommends that the banks be not allowed to j issue hereafter bills of a less denomination than $10 or $20, and urges strongly the adoption of the "'common school system" in that State. The message contains other wise and practical suggestions, and is characterized by wisdom and ability throughout. Wo append an interesting extract or two from it: " As (Inorcians we have much renson tolir> proud of tlio financial condition of our State, and of her high character abroad.

Tiik Fatk of Mkxico.?TheN. 0. 1 nyuno, which is well informed in regard to Mexican matters, gives its opinion of tho proposed "protectorate" as follows : <4Jf those who have favored this r>rov>osi tion, oxpeet Mexico to place Ucrtiulf voluntarily under tlio guardianship of the Unitoil States, they will, without doubt, be mistaken. The Centralists, embracing the party of the Church, fear tho presence of American influence more than misrule and perpetual anarchy. The Liberal party, though not so hostile to the ideas peculiarly AngloAmcriean, have vet a self-reliance that rcn tiers the proposition as distasteful, at least to their leaders, as to the public men of any other class in Mexico. Vidaurri, their leader in Northern Mexico, is a man of intelligence, of liberal views, and intensely national. Ilo has steadily rejected all proffers of assistance from Texas."
