THE SECTIONAL TROUBLES. Mili.eiujevillk, Nov. 17—Affairs are much more quiet.since Wednesday night, when Mr. Ste phens made a grejl speech, taking inrong con servative ground.

Public sentiment seems to be setting down un der the idea that the Southern States, South (’ar- oliiia included, will unite in a demand for an ail- ditional constitutional guaranty, which it is thought the Free States, will cheerfully grant. A convention of all the States can embody a new clause in the Constitution, securing the Slave States against further agitation and fixing a geo graphical line—perhaps the old Missouri compro- niise line Vjetween I'ree and Slave Territory. Such is the solution of the difficulty by leadin'^ men here from all sections. In addition to this they entirely approve of the suggestion of the limes, that payment shall be made for slaves not surrendered under the Fugitive Slave act. Hon. 3Ir.

Journal of Commerce A prominent lawyer in Vicksburg, Miss, writes to his correspondent in this city as follows: ^ iCKsBi Rfi, Miss., Nov. 10,1800.—The re sult of the Presidential election is producing gr»l excitement liere. Our leading politicians are making a great noise, and advocate immediate secession from the Federal Unionj but the great off; new leailcrs would sprint: up, and this trreat and glorious republic would so ,n be broken into a multitude ot petty states, witliout commerce, without credit; jealous of one another; armed for mutual agirre-sions; loaded with ta.xes to pay ar mies and leaders; seeking aid against each other tn)in foreign powers; insulted and trampled upon . by the iiatijns of Europe; until, harra.>sed with conflicts, and humbled and ilebased in spirit, thev would be really to submit to the absolute domin ion of any military adventurer, and tj surrender i their liberty tor the sake ot rejiose. It is impos- | sible to look on the coiisci^uences that would in evitably i’olluw the destruction ot thi governn.ent and not feel indignant when we hear cold calcu lations about the value of the Union, atil have so constantly before us a line of coNduct so well cal- culateil to weaken it.a ties.” Pn %idiiit J'irkson. The Secessionists seem to see the folly and dan- : ger of .sece.ssion in any new (’onfederacy tliey may create. Mr. Bartow, of Savannah, propo,ses that the Southern Confederacy should be a consoli- | dated Republic, all State lines to be obliteratdl ' and all sovereignty to reside in the Federal power. It will be a little singular if South (Carolina shall bo obliged to surrender her State Sovereignty in p, new Confederacy, after maintaining her State rights in the Union for so many years. But Mr. Bartow has the sagacity to see that no (iovern- ment can exist as a Confederacy it secession is a reserved right, and he doubtless wishes to provide against it. ^Southern Streiujth.—Now is the timem///i. tf> urge Southern Direct Trade, and Home Manu factures.
