We have been informed, by a private tele
graphic dispatch, that the State Convention
adjourned at Little Rock, sine die, yesterday
afternoon.
Mr. Yell’s ordinance of secession and
Gen. Thomasson’s co-operation resolution
were the measures which our State Conven
tion settled upon, as we have been telegraphi
cally informed.
Some of the members of the Missouri
State Convention are eminently for peace.
The other day one of them introduced a reso
lution saying that he did not countenance a
war by the seceded States on the Federal
Government, nor a war by the Federal Gov
ernment on the seceded States. If there
should be another peace conference held, that
man ought to be made president.
The Boston Transcript has seen the first
custom-house manifest issued at Charleston by
the independent authorities. It bears the
s;gnaturc of W. F. Colcock, “ Collector of
Charleston, and J. Laurens, •• Naval Officer.”
The common United States blanks have been
used, and the words “ United States erased
and those of “ South Carolina” inserted in
their place. The manifest has over the top,
‘•District of the Port of Charleston, State
of South Carolina.” At the bottom is the
following: “Given under our hand and
seal on the first of January, in the eighty
fifth year of the sovereignty and independ
ence of the State of South Carolina.”
• m_
A dispatch trom Richmond, Virginia,
says the plan of that State for the adjustifica
tion of the national difficulties has been set
tled upon in a slight modification of the
Franklin proposition, which prevailed in the
late Peace Conference.
The substance of that celebrated'amend
ment to the Guthrie measures, in relation to
slavery in the Territories, is that all north of
86° 30', not embraced by the treaty with the
Cherokee Indians, involuntary servitude, ex
cept for punishment of crime, shall not be
permitted. And, in all south of said line,
slavery shall not be hindered or prevented by
any law prohibiting the carrying of such
property there, nor no law passed impairing
the rights of such relation ; but the same
shall be subject to judicial cognizance in the
Federal Courts according to tla common laic.
It seems to us, that the people of Virginia,
in justice to themselves and the rest of the
South, should have made a considerable modi
fication in the Franklin amendment; and the
alteration should su have been as to put the
institution of slavery in all the territory
south of the drawn line, bevond constitution
al doubt, as its non-existence north of it has
been placed. We very much think that Vir
ginia will be nearly alone in her glory in thus
attempting to bind up the wounds of the
Uuion, and give it “ another horse.”
-|
Mu. Lincoln, in his inaugural, says lie does
not forget the position which many claim, that
Constitutional questions arc to be decided by
the Supreme Court, and he does not deny that
“ such decisions must be binding, inanv case,
upon parties to a suit as to the object of
that suit.” but it must be confessed by him that
the policy of the Government upon vital ques
tions affecting the whole people cannot be ir
revocably fixed by the decisions of that body,
while he admits that they are entitled to
high respect and consideration.” Now, the
Constitution plainly says that the Supreme
Court was created and vested with powers to
adjudicate • in all matters arising under the
Constitution, treaties and laws of the Fnited
States.” The builders of our Government in
tended the Supreme Court as the highest and
final arbiter of all questions touching the
Annstmirtmn nf flip (1nn<tihitinn titan ne
to the powers which that instrument had con
ferred upon the several departments of the
Federal Government. Its decisions upon all
questions not only are entitled to "high respect
and consideration,’7 but command obedience
from all the departments and people of this
< Government. Gut Lincoln lias assumed that
the judicial is subordinate to the “legislative
department of the Federal Government, and
that its decisions, deliberately made, may be
annulled by the decrees of the legislative body.
In other words, his position is, that where the
Supreme Court and Congress may differ as to
the construction of any clause of the Consti
tution conferring powers on Congress, the op
tion of the latter must prevail, and the Court
must go to the wall. lie would confer upon
Congress the right to determine what its own
powers are. Under this view of the matter,
there is no limit upon the powers of Congress,
except such as they see fit to impose upon
themselves. The Constitution may define,
and the Supreme Court may interpret, but it
is for Congress alone to say whether it shall
exercise, or refrain from, any powers what
ever."
Troubles in the New Confederacy
The following extract from The Missisiappian,
in relation to the establishment of a perma
nent Constitution, without a voice upon it,
directly from the people, shows a state of
things which is shortly likely to exist in the
new Confederacy :
‘ The constitution for the permanent Gov
ernment, before Mississippi becomes a party
to the compact, must be submitted directly to
a vote of the people of the State." It' re
marks that “if this is not done, the question
of the right of the people to form their own
government, may require practical solution,1
fefc-.. the New Order is fully established.
They will not hold themselves hound by a
H government which they have had no hand in j
I -
\/
The Convention and Secession.
It will be seen from Little Ilock dispatches
in our telegraphic columns, that the Arkan
sas State Convention has at last settled upon
a policy. After having once defeated an or
dinance of secession referable to the people
for ratification or rejection, a similar one
finally obtained passage on Tuesday last in that
body, by a very large vote. The time which
has been set apart for the people to det«—*‘uC
upon it, is the first Monday i*» -august next. It (
thus seems that wiuperation which seces
sion nar—o and leaders of the cross-roads and 1
small-town cliques have been heaping upon
the Union members of the Convention was
not altogether deserved. The action of that
body on the ordinance, as mentioned above,
certainly shows that some good, at least, can
come out of the Nazareth of a Union majori
ty Convention.
Abuse and vile condemnation of the politi
cal opinions of any people, with however holy
a will it is exercised, never yet persuaded or
coerced them to the desired purpose. Calm
reasoning, and a mild differing wield infinitely
more influence upon the erring; and this
should be the policy of the ardent admirers
of secession during the period which will in
tervene between the present and the time of
voting upon the ordinance. Lincoln’s poli
cy, too, in the meantime, will have been so
clearly developed that no doubt will remain
as to his infamous purposes toward the South
ern people and the institution of slavery.

TIIE GAINES CASE DECIDED.
This morning the Supreme Court room
was crowded by a brilliaut assemblage of
ladies and gentlemen, who had gathered to
hear the decision of the Court in the cele
brated and very long pending case of Mrs.
General Gaines. The opinion of the Court
was read by Justice Wayne, and it is in her
favor on all of the points involved, besides
being the unanimous judgment of the Court.
Several decisions of the lower courts are thus
reversed. Mrs. Gaines was present when the
; decision was announced, and she was over
1 whelmed with congratulations. The amount
involved in this suit was nearly three million
dollars. In the ordinance of secession of
r _ _ _1 ...i——
UVU'i 111 IL n UO VVl* < VIJ Ul»V|'WVU
I should in no wise invalidate the legal rights
! of parties in Louisiana to suits pending in
United States Courts, so the action in this
ease does not affect Mrs. Gaines’ rights under
that decision. [Cincinnati Gazette.
To those not familiar with this long stand
ing case, now finally disposed of by the Su
preme Court of the United States, it may be
proper to state that the suit was commenced
in 1833. by Mrs. Gaines' first husband, Wil
liam Wallace Whitney—prosecuted during
her widowhood after his death in 1830—du
ring the period after her marriage with Gen.
! Gaines in 1S38, until his death in 1849—and
from that time forward, by her in widowhood,
and under most adverse circumstances, until
the crowning point of her final and complete
victory over all her enemies on the 14th
March. 1 «61.

A telegraphic dispatch to the Augusta

it shall be established for said States ; and,
until ratified, the provisional Constitution

however, beyond one year.

Kentucky Looming Up. — Kentucky
seems to be prominently on the carpet just
now, as it has given birth to many of the
characters figuring in the second American
revolution. President Davis was born in Todd
county, Kentucky, in 1808. Lincoln was
born in Harden county, in the year 1800.
Vice-President Breckinridge was born in Fay
ette county, in 1821. Senator Crittenden
was born in Woodland county, in 1780. Jas.
Guthrie, the chairman on compromise resolu
tions in the Peace Conference, was born in
Nelson county, in 1705. Joseph Holt, the
late Secretary of War, is a native of Breck
inridge county, Major Anderson was born in
Kentucky, in 18U5. Gen. Harney is also a
Kentuckian, and Cassius Clay, both of whom
are somewhat connected with the current
crisis.
