WESTERN DEMOCEAT, CHABlLOTTE, JST. CHARLOTTE, 3V. C. Tnesday, January 22, 1861. THE NEWS. Georgia has seceded and declared her indepen dence. The resolution to appoint a committee to draft a Secession Ordinance was adopted by 119 majority in Convention. Hon.' II. V. Johnson introduced resolutions for co-operation in a conven tion of the Southern States to be held at Atlanta in February, but they were voted down. Five States are now out of the Union, viz: South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Geor gia. A Southern Confederacy is now a fixed fact. At Charleston nothing of importance has trans pired since the firing into the Star of the West. No further attempt has been made to reinforce Fort Sumter. It is stated that the President refused to surrender the Fort on the demand of the S. C. Commissioner, and that Maj. Anderson is instruct ed to act strictly on the defensive, but if the State authorities again - fire on a vessel, the batteries of Fort Suuiter are to be used to repel it. Lieut. Talbot, bearer of dispatches from Major Anderson to Washington, has returned to Charles ton, but the substance of his instructions has not transpired. It is stated that the Governor of S. C. visited the Forts on Friday. Congress has done nothing. The Republicans in the Seriate rejected Crittenden's propositions, but afterwards reconsidered the vote and made the matter a special order for consideration yesterday. In the House while the Army bill was under con sideration, Sherman, repub. of Ohio, deprecated civil war but said the Government must protect its property. He abused South Carolina, and Mr Craw ford defended her The Army bill was passed. It was rumored in Washington that the Presi dent had adopted a peace policy in opposition to the advice of his Cabinet, and that the Republi cans were denouncing hi in for it. Owing to .recessions, the Republicans now have control of both House. of Congress. Virginia has appropriated a million of dollars for the defence of the State. In tiie Raleigh Register of Saturday we find the following dispatch from Senator Crittenden to Mr Rogers of Raleigh: Washington, Jan. 17th, 9 P. M. In reply, the voto against my resolutions will be re-considered. Their failure was the result of the refusal of six Southern Senators to vote. There is yet good hope of success. John J. Crittenden. The Legislature. For the past week the Legislature has been engaged in discussing the Convention Rill and some anfi-c ercion resolu tions introduced by Mr Love of Haywood. In the discussion, Mr Erwin declared that if a convention was not called, the people of the Mountains would secede from the State and go where the people will not submit to Abe Lincoln. Next week we ex pect to publish a sketch of the debate. Seventeen days of the session were wasted in a recess, and about seventeen more have been con sumed in useless speech-making. Some of the Union men have shown a factious disposition, while some of the secessionists have been illiberal in attempting to put under the ban all who did not agree with them. They commenced wrong and both sides have not done as they should have done, or there would be more unanimity at an important time like the present. A Convention should be called and the people allowed to indicate by the election of delegates whether they want to secede or remain in the Union. Occurrences will settle that point some way before long, anyhow. On Thursday, the Governor transmitted to the House the official correspondence between him and 4 the authorities at Washington relative to the Forts in this fctate. 1 he substance ot the corrcspon dence is not stated. 4 Th t 'on veil I ! in rmfsfmn wns Hisen.esfd anil n few new bills introduced ne to enable the At lantic, Tcnn & O. Railroad Co. to raise funds for building the load. A well informed correspondent writes us as follows: Raleigh, Jan. 19th, The House of Commons passed the resolutions against coercion, but have not made any satisfac tory disposition of the Convention bill. The Senate, on Thursday, by a vote of 31 to 16 adopted the amendment of Mr Kure, (same as the I bill proposed in the House on Monday by Mr Clark,) J proposing that the people shall vote on the ques- tiou of calling a Convention and at the same time vote lor delegates to a Convention, lr a uiaiontv vote for ''Convention," then the Governor is to call the Convention together. If a majority vote "no Convention," then the elected delegates will not meet. Further amendments have been pro posed and there is no telling what shape the Bill will ultimately assume, or whether it will pass or not. Gov. Morehead's amendment was voted down which proposed to submit the call of a convention I to the people in March if a majority voted for it, I the convention to assemble in 31 ay or June, and its faction to be submitted to the people for ratifica tion or rejection. 3Ir Lure's bill is for an unre stricted Convention except as to the white basis. I think the opinion here is that a Convention will be called if time is given and the bill is con fined to Federal matters alone, and if the action of the Convention shall be submitted to the people Ifor ratification or rejection. f New Paper We have received the first num ber of the "Carolina Flag," a newspaper published in Concord, X. C.,by J. W. Gorman, Esq. It is i neatly printed and makes a very nice appearance. It will, uo doubt, merit a liberal support. TOWN .MATTERS. The election last week for Mayor and Commissioners resulted in the choice of a i new Beard as follows- U" A idmr- Ti.RPn. I J M Springs, S M Blair, M L WrUton, S W Davis, II G I Springs, Commissioners. On Saturday last the Board elected the following Of ficers for the present rear : Thos V Dewey, Sec'y and Treasurer; M W Robinson, Town Marshal and Tax col lector; Chas II Elms, Flour Inspector and Weighmaster; L A Blackwelder, J F Pettus, Geo Plummer, P Auten, Town Guard. M W Robinson, F Scarr, S A Cohen and II M Phelps were appointed Fire Wardens. fiST We publish the proceedings of a meeting held in this place on Saturday and cf a Union meeting hld in Gaston. The reason why we have not published the proceedings ot a southern r trhts iiip. t he d n Da as 1 about the last of December is, they were never sent to usforpoblication Hon Bedford Brown We have been re quested by a friend whom we highly esieem, to publish a speech of Hon. Bedford Brown delivered in the Senate on the 16th of Dec. We have to decline doing so at present for the reason that we have not room for it. Just at this time there is en Ml a nrpss nn nnr fnliimn5 nf inoffor nnnmrniiiiv occurrences that are every day taking place, that we cannot exclude the usual variety to publish a whole speech of any kind. Mr Brown is a gen tleman for whom we entertain a high esteem, and whose opinions are entitled to the respect of all. He is an honest man, and though he may differ with oth ers as to the proper courss to pursue in regard to national difficulties, he is as true a States Rights man as there is in Isorth Carolina. He is certainly no "submissionist," however much he .nay have op posed immediate secession. When in the Senate of the United States, he resolutely opposed General Jackson's "Force Bill," and would as resolutely oppose force against the South now as then. lie has always been a southern rights man, and though we may not endorse, entirely, ail his positions in the late discussions, yet we say that the man does not live whom we would sooner trust than Bedford Brown. We make these remarks because they seem proper while speaking of the request to pub lish 31r Brown's speech, not having in view any differences that may exist between him and others at Raleigh. . Mr. Vance for a Convention We find in the Raleigh Register a letter from 3Ir Vance, the member of Congress from the Mountain District in this State. We give the concluding portion of the letter. After stating that occurrences are forcing the people of the South to take position with or without their consent, he says : I do not regard the call of a Convention as a disun ion morement; I regard it rather as the conducting steel to the lightning-freighted cloud. Finn, temperate and decided action may save our rights and the Union, too; non-action will precipitate us into disunion. We want a Convention for other purposes than secession alone, though others, I know, desire it for no other ob ject. We want it for the purpose of demanding terms of the Northern people; if they are refused, then for making our voice heard with the Southern States which are rapidly innoculating the people with many dogmas, of which North Carolina does not approve. Above all, we want a Convention for the purpose of consultation concerning the common good. Though some ot our Southern sisters have contemptuously re fused to consult the w ishes of the 100.000 lighting men over whose dead bodies an invading horde, treading through the a;.hts of their homes, must reach them, yet there are others who anxiously seek general and fratern al counsel, and their desire we should regard. In short, in my opinion, uo belter method could be devised to promote the peace, the material interests and the honor of our State, than the calling of an open and unrestricted Convention of the people to consider our national all'iirs. giving as much time as the urgency of the case will permit. The whole Southern people, as sembled through their freshly elected delegates, united ly and simultaneously demanding a moderate and rea sonable ultimatum of the North, would, in my opinion, tret it, and those States that desired to remain in the Union upon honorable terms could do so. whilst those that think it accursed and damnable, and prefer to go out. rather than stay iu oa any terms, cold depart in pence. Lincolnton. We spent a day in Lincoln ton last week, and had the pleasure of seeing many of our friends and subscribers of Lincoln and Cataw ba counties, from whom wc received congratula tions of kindness, encouragement and approbation, and added to our subscription lists a number of volunteer, cash subscribers. Wo cannot feel other wise than gratified at the increased circulation of our paper in Lincoln, Catawba and Gaston. On Tuesday, although the weather was very in clement, a large number of persons assembled in the Court House to hear speeches. Win. Lander, Esij, addressed them for two hours in a good south ern rights speech. We did not hear all the speech, but the part we heard we fully endorse. We learn that at the close of the speech, while he did not recommend immediate secession nor disapprove of it, he made an eloquent appeal for a united South for the sake of the rights of the South a union of southern people for the purpose of maintaining their rights and resisting the aggressions of the abolition party, would do more to prevent war than anything else. The speech was very geuerally ap proved. L. E. Thompson, Esq, was called upon, but as the day was' far spent, he only made a few remarks and expressed a disposition to address the people at length in favor of the cause of the South if he had time. Mr Thompson is a gentleman of excellent judgment and always understands what he talks about. No doubt many were disappointed at not hearing him. We found the people mostly for preserving the Union if we could get our rights in it and have peace, but if this cannot be done and the Repub lican party does not yield, they are for resisting Lincoln and all his friends, and ready to fight if necessary. The Union will have but few friends in this part of the State unless the North speedily accede to the just demands of the South. Lincolnton is quite a business little town, with about eleven or twelve hundred inhabitants, good society and clever people. In the summer time it is pleasant, having good shades and a mountain breeze in the winter, or during rainy weather (such as we had while there last week) it is not quite so pleasant, there being entirely too much mud. But we guess it don't become one who lives in Charlotte to complain of mud. The Wil., Char. & Ruth. Railroad is now com pleted to within 7 miles of Lincolnton, and when finished to that town the citizens expect an in crease in busiuess of all kinds. From the head of the Railroad 4 horse coaches run to Lincolnton. The proprietor, Mr Suther land, exerts himself to afford safe and comfortable accommodations. He contemplates running fine coaches West by the time the summer travel com mences. An easy and pleasant route to the moun tains will thus be afforded. Untimely. In the Hillsboro Recorder we find the proceedings of a public meeting at Gravelly Bill (in Orange county wc suppose) held on the 8th of January for the purpose of celebrating the battle of New Orleans. Several toasts were given on the occasion nearlyll expressing extreme Union sentiments among others the following by the President, Wilson Brown : The whole Union and Major Anderson may the for mer be preserved, and the latter defend Fort Sumter. This toast was greeted with 2 guns and 20 cheers. It is the first publicly expressed desire for civil war that we have heard of in this State. If war and bloodshed are wanted, all that is neces sary is for any respectable portion of the people of the South to encourage Maj. Anderson and the Government in holding on to Fort Sumter or forts in any other seceding State without the consent of the State authorities. Mr A. W. Cheek offered the following toast: The immediate secession of North Carolina, a Con federacy of the Southern States, may the flag of a Southern Confederacy wave over a free and indepen dent people; and should we be compelled to give our aggressors a threshing, may we gire them a good one Mr Cheek was pretty spunky considering the crowd he was in, but his toast met with no re sponse save 1 gun no titters. We suppose the gunner fired without orders or by mistake ! Some of our fellow citizens in Orange, we fear, are a little too strong for the Union. Probably when they hear of the way the Republicans have treated Crittenden's propositions for a settlement, they will change their ideas. J&T We return thinks to A. B. Springs, Esq., a member of the S. C. Convention, for a handsomely printed phamplet containing the Declaration of the causes which induced South Carolina to se cede, and the Ordinance of Secession, signed by each member of the Convention. JBsaTLieut. J. R. Hamilton, late of the TT. S. Navy, publishes a card in the Charleston Mercury, call ing upon the southern officers in the Navy to withdraw from the U. S. service and bring their ships into some southern port for the use of the South. If they cannot control the ships with which they may be, they are requested to come themselves. He says South Carolina must and will have possession of Fort Sumter. Thousands of men are only waiting for the word to take it A Brave Act. It was indeed a brave act for the soldiers in Fort Moultrie to fire on the steamer Star of the West, for it was confidently expected that Maj Anderson would demolish Fort Moultrie in a short time, as he can do whenever he chooses. The Charleston Mercury says that when "the Star of the West turned tail, and it beeame evident that she would approach no closer, the young fellows in Fort Moultrie became clamorous and eager for "a shot anyhow." "Weil," says the Major(Ripley) jumping upon the parapet, "fire away, boys, but you'll all be in --in five minutes " The boys did fire; but the Major's prediction was not fulfill ed. Maj Ripley was twice brevetted for gallantry during the Mexican war." Missouri. St. Louis, Jan 17. The Conven tion bill passed the Legislature last nig'n by 41 to 2. Voters to -decide, at the time of election, if se cession ordinance shall be submitted to the people. The election is to take place on thelSth Fedruary; the Convention is to meet on the 28th February. JEST" Hon. Roger A. Pryor is at present on a visit to this city. He left Washington Tuesday evening, and we are gid to hear that he does not despair of an amicable and proper adjustment of the present national difficulties. Petersburg Ex press. An explanation of Mr Pryor's plan will be found in anoiuer column. Philadelphia, January 17. An immense meeting, irrespective of party, has been held in this city. Reso lutions in favor of conciliation instead of coercion, and peaceable separation rather than civil war, were passed. The Virginia Legislature has passed the bill calling a convention of the people of that State on the 13th of February. Election on the 4th, and at the same time a vote is to be taken whether or not the action of the convention shall be submitted to the people for ratification. The Legislature of Tennessee has called a con vention to meet on the 13th of February. Elec tion to take place on the 9th. If the convention adopts a secession ordinance, the question is to be submitted to the people. For the Western Democrat. It is no less a matter of surprise than regret that politicians of the border Southern States are now advocating a Middle Confederacy, comprised of a portion of the non-slaveholding Black Repub lican States. Wherein would be tho advantage to us ? We would have the Laernean monster of abolitionism still to contend with, without any prospect of present or ulterior relief and we would appear, eveti with such constitutional guaran tees as might be obtained, in some measure to ac quiesce in the insolent demands of a fanatical brotherhood. Far better would it be for us and posterity to meet the question on the square at once, and either obtain from the whole North un doubted and permanent constitutional guarantees, or form a Southern Confederacy comprised of all the slaveholding States. By advocating this Middle Confederacy, we also weaken our cause at home, produce distraction in our councils, give aid and comfort to the enemy, and inaugurate, from a diversity of views, opposition and hostility amongst each other. As a whole, the South would be amply able to cope with the North or any other hostile foe upon the face of the earth. We do not calculate on aggressive warfare indeed, we would prefer an amicable adjustment between the North and the South but in case they choose to invade us which most probably would occur we have a mil lion of men to meet them who, fighting for their homes, their families, their lives and their sacred honor, would be more than equal to two millions of invaders, who have nothiug to contend for but a fanatical idea suggested by satan himself andl discountenanced by Holy rit. Vc have a slave population easily kept in sub jection, whose labor will give us not only bread but the sinews of war. We have indeed all the elements of natural greatness in a very superior degree, provided we do not divide into a number of cootemptible confederacies; united in one con federacy, we can stand against whatever may op pose divided we must fall. But it is contended that in a short time the cotton States would find it to their interest to join in this Middle Con federacy. Lay not this unction to your souls they are going out of this Union now and forever, unless we ignomiuously permit them to be whipped back. into the Union, which God forbid, and which never will be done. If, therefore, we have to enter into the contest in favor of our sister States of the extreme South, why not participate in the benefits which may accrue. Much more might be said upon this subject which our time will uot permit. Xenophon. I. O. O. F. At a recent meeting of Mecklen burg Lodge No. 9, I. O. O. F., the following offi cers were elected for the current term : S F Houston, N. G.; James Craige, V. G.; D. C. Baruhardt, Sec'y; John Risjler, Sr, Treasurer; Alex Bern-hill, R- S.; D U Byerly, L. S.: G A Houston, I G.; Joshua Trotter, O. G.; J C Col lier, W.; HM. Phelps, C. D. C. Barnhardt, Sec'y. It is stated that "the New York delegation (in Washington have tendered men and money to President Buchanan to preserve the Union." The I vr 7 -1 ji j ii .i ii ien lum ueiegaiion ana an oiner ianaucs will soon find out that "men and money" will not save the Union. Their men will be met by people who don't fear them or their money either. They had better appropiate their money to feed the starving and oppressed poor in the North. Pilfering thh Mails. The Charleston Mer cury complains that letters addressed to that paper in Washington and New York, never reach Charleston, and that commmunications addressed to Southern army and navy officers from Charles ton never reach them. The Mercury suspects some of the Northern postmasters of stopping these letters for the purpose of prying into their contents. Fire in Newbern. We learn from the Pro gress that a destructive fire occurred in Newbern on Tuesday morning last the 15th. It originated, near C. A. Hart's tin and sheet iron manufactory. The Court House was burnt together with the buildings occupied by C A Hart, R Wilking, and N Tisdale. All the public records were saved from the Court House. . m Some of the Black Republican papers, for the purpose of increasing the animosity against the South, have published a miserable falsehood about the tarring and feathering and riaing on a rail of a Northern young lady in Alabama. The whole story is a falsehood from beginning to end. A New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier states that Gen. Jliratn Walbridge made a speech in New York recently in favor of coercing the South. We merely mention the fact as Gen. Walbridge is in the" habit of visiting this place, audit is proper that his position on this point should be understood. . Governor's Aids. The following gentlemen have been appointed Aids-de-Camp to His Excellency, Gov. Ellis, for the two years next ensuing, viz: N. Collip.' Hughes, Esq., of Newbern? Junius K. Long, of Halifax county; Wm. J. Houston, of Duplin county; and Cluis. J. Hammerskold, of Lincoln county. Ral eigh Journal ANOTHER PROPOSITION. A plan is now before the Committee of the House of Delegates, of Virginia, which is regarded in political circles with much interest. The idea emanated from Hon. R. A. Pryor, of Virginia, and has received the cordial endorsement of Crittenden, Douglas, Breckinridge, W. C. Rives, and other distinguished gentlemen, embracing all shades of Southern and conservative opinion. The plan is: First. There must be some definite and (Ton elusive settlement of the slavery question, or se paration is inevitable. Second. Proposing the Crittenden Compromise, as amended by Douglas, as the basis of a fair and honorable adjustment. ' Third. The appointment of a Commissioner to each State of the Union respecting the action of .Virginia, and inviting a response to this measure of conciliation. Fourth. A strong appeal to the Federal Gov ernment to stay iis hand and avoid all acts which may lead to a collision pending the mediation of Virginia. Fifth. An appeal to the seceding States to pre serve the existing status, and to abstain from all acts which may precipitate a collision. A dispatch from a distinguished source in Vir ginia, says that there is no doubt that this plan will pass both Houses of the Legislature. Simi lar movements will be made in the Legislatures of .Missouri, North Carolina,Tennessee and Kentucky, and arrangements are now being made for that jmrpose. Proposed Commission to the Border States from Prunsyhmnia. Lancaster, Pa, Jan. 16. Prominent republicans here recommend the ap pointment of commissioners to the border States with power pledging Pennsylvania's full perform ance of her constitutional duties and the repeal of all obnoxious laws, in order to counteract the efforts of the seceding States and secure the continuance of the border States in the Union. FROM CHARLESTON. Charleston, Jan. 17. Reliable despatches received in this city, state that the President re fuses to surrender Fort Sumter, but will not be aggressive. The status will remain the same. The Cabinet confirms his decision. I understand that Jefferson Davis has addressed a letter to Gov. Pickens, beseeching the restora tion of amicable relations with Major Anderson, whom he has long known. He vouches for Major Anderson as being as honorable as he is brave, and for his not abusing the confidence reposed in him. He thinks that free access to the market should be allowed, and that kind relations being restored, all would be well. Resolutions have been unanimously p ssed by the Legislature of South Carolina, declaring that any attempt on the part of the Federal Govern ment to reinforce fort Sumter, will be considered an act of open hostility and a declaration of war. A resolution has been adopted, approving of the activity and promptness of the mliitary in firing upon the Star of the West, and promising support to the Governor in further measures of defence. The House passed a bill to stay the collection or prosecution of debts due to the citizens of non slavehohling States, until after December next. A resolution was also passed to fire fifteen rounds for every seceeding State. The Governor sent a message to the Legislature detailing his plans for guarding the coast, and for the purchase of three steam propellers. He also proposes to fortify all inlets and mouths of rivers with redoubts and ordnance, and to keep up constant communication between these points, as a protection against sudden invasions by lawless bands. Seward's Speech on the Crisis. The New York Herald, speaking of the late speech of Seward, says: "The speech of Mr Seward, on this great crisis of Union or dissolution, peace or war, h before our readers. We might properly apply to it the old fable of tho mountain in labor, were it not that t this delivery discloses something more formidable than the mouse. With all its soft and silky ex pressions of forbearanee, conciliation and compro mise, we apprehend that this speech closes the door of reconciliation, and proclaims coercion as the deliberately chosen policy of the President elect." Cotton receipts at all the ports to date, 1,827, 703 bales, against 2,427,800 last year. Decrease, 600,097 bales. ; Arkansas. The Arkansas Legislature has unanimously passed a bill submitting the conven tion question to the people on the 18th February. If the majority favors a convention then the Gov ernor appoints the day. JEWISH DISABILITY. Mr Hall, of New.Hanver, has Introduced the follow ing bill into the Senate of Nort,b Carolina : ' A BILL to r -peal so much of Section second of Article fourth of the amended Constitution of NortbCarolina, as prohibit persons of the Jewish or Iraelilish faith from holding offices of piofit or trust in the State. , I T ' . v vi iuw isct im ciMuti ' 1 t u proclaims "that all men have a natural and inalienable gut ui nviauip Aiiuignijr vioa according 10 me aic tates of their own coasdences : and wheteas, Section 2d of Article 4th of the amended Constitution ;s incon sistent with Section 19th of the Declaratiou of Rights, contrary to the spirit of the age, and anti-republicaa in its operation, Be it enacted bj the General Assembly of the State of North Car-dina, and it is berebv enacted by the au thority of the same, (three-fiths of the whole numbei of members of each house concurring,) That so much of Section 2d of Article 4th of the amended Coostitn lum as, prohibits persons of the JewUh or Israelitish faith from holding offices of profit or trust in the State, be aiji the same is hereby repealed.
