Wo hope the statement is correct nnd that Mississippi tnay thus be ranked among the first of our co States in responding favorably to a proposition that wo deem of the utmost couscriuence at tins juncture of public affairs. 1st. Iietolved 6.V the Legislature of the State of Jfi**insippi, Tliat the Constitution of the United States recognizes property in slaves, nnd the Government created by, it cannot, ti-jr can any tribunal acting under its authority. whether it be legislative, executive or judicial, within its appropriate sphere, juntly withhold from the owners of slave* that uilei^unta protec tion for their slave property, to which the owners of property of other U itnls nre entitled or which from its nature tliey may further re[juirc to secure them in its (>?>06<-4sion and eu joyment. 2d. That, the election of u President of "the United States bv the vote* of-onc section of the Union only on t)?e ground that there exist* mi irreconcilable conflict between the two sections in referenco to their respective systems of lalior ind with an avowed purpose of hostility to the institution of slavery as it prevails in the Southjrn States, and as recognized by the compact of | union, would so threaten ft destruction of the Mid for which the constitution whs formed ah | to justify tlie slave-holding States in taking :ounsel together for their scperate protection ?nd society. 3<l.

We respect lilio American* from i he South who disdained to vote for all surli men. lletw.-en Mr. McCler timid, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. i'eiuiiuglon, bo fur aa the right* of the South are concerned in our i Territories, which are now larger than the whole of the United State? together, there is not the difference of the turning of iintraw. All of them, with their purliws in the Nortnen Stutcs, arc resolved to exclude the South from our Territories. They ase equally opposed to Southern expansiou. The South. liy lier miserublu compliunco, consents to occupy the CUIltelll nlihio ' 1 ui cuoosing between ackowled^ed enemies, ami to place tlie rml of power in the hxntls of Hint oiic which will smite hor least. The whole affair has jhown that her rights will never be vindicated ami established by the action of Congress. They arc too near the political head?they are too inuch in the vol lex of party. The Southern people, in the Slates, and nt the polls, must work out their redemption. Olio other matter in connection with this election may be worthy of note, although from the previows eoHrscof t'he general election to Congress lai>t fall, it can hardly be said to be Ranarkahlt. The Pennsylvania Democrats (but in real ily Consolidation-Tar iHf-lut ern al-Improvement Syuattor Sovereignty-Douglas Federalists?called Democrats) voted with the 'Black UepuMicniii for their candidate for Speaker- and as thtrir p i linn of the spot ? for their affiliation, Mr. Forney, the editor of the Philadelphia J'rexx, is elected l.o the Clerkship of the llousc. Mr. Forney's Prew is the grand orgau of these sort tif Democrats in the Northern and Middle States, and they will cutne from Pennsylvania with the twenty-seven votes ot that State, to take their part iu the Charleston Convention in the nomination of the Democratic candidates for the -Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States.
