the unnatural eflbrU of a sectional party at th.
North, to carry on an ''irrepressible conflict" against
tha institution of slavery, and whenever that par

It was in view of the Cbarlwton . Coovcntioo,
and the imporUnce of bringing the public mind
opto the issue thure intended to be made,' that
Senator Clat, of Alabama, wrote a letter from
Washington on tne 2d or January, I860, .which
. i il;.l.l . . i ... . . .
was prompuv puoiisuou to nis , consuiuenis, ei
whui the following Is an extract: ,
- "Why, yeu would ask, do not Southern Dem
ocrat'; and Americans unite their rotas on some
tMitriot of tither party, and save us from the dis
honor andbumiliation with which wear menaced?
The reply of either side, probably, would be, it
would demoralize, and.p-rhaps, disorganize ourpar
ty. But you would rejoin, would you sacrifice the
South on the alUr of your party i, can you . not
sink the lartizau in the patriot, when the enemy,
is at mii gates? . , . y,: .; .
"Why may I not address th. same question to
the legislators of Alabama, to ber poople, and to
the entire Southern people T We are confronted
by implacable and powerful foes,. whose, herald
and leader declares we must meet them-everywhere
in "irreconcilable conflict" They are now
straggling with us, band to hand, in the Capitol,
for the control of the .Treasury, the . Army,, the
Navy, the Post Office all the materials for war
upon th. South. They hang ia embattled array
upon our entire Northern boundary .Their em
issaries art in oor midst, preparing torches for the
incendiary aad daggers for the assassin. We
cannot, if we would, avoid , tha. "oonfl.ct"tbey
threaten. ' We hare been besieged and barrassed
by them for many years Aave suffered, sorely
from their ravages and sought, no reparation, but
only future peace, justice, domeetio tranquility

Having carried all his poinU in Alabama, we
here have the evidence tbat. he was equally
successful at Charleston. The result of this

rejected by a majority of the Convention, and the
secession, first of the Alabama delegation, from the
Convention, iouowea oy seven ovum uia. iw
