seemed to be no necessity for tba printing of tb

act. Ee (Mr. M.) was differently situated ; be
wsa not advised beforehand as to what tba report
would be. Tba gentleman from New Hanover
(Mr. Person) would, ia bis opinion, have to change
his coarse if be carried out his notions about wot

He bad not scolded the Publie Printer ; ba was

Mr. Wilkersoa said ha favored the amend meet
proposed by the gentleman from Wake ; there was
ta be a meeting laid ia bis county next week, ta

Mr. Ferebee lhigbt that the time had arrived

He was in favor of a Convention of the people

political dangers. This is a perilous time. This

Mr. Person called for a division of the ques

The Speaker stated that the - question would

then withdrawn for the ayes and noes, and the
bill and reports were ordered to be printed.
Mr. Folk said he desired to renlv to the ren
tleman from Guilford. He accused him of being

be stated that be knew tha bill would be report-
ad. Ha had no afflnitv with that nartv. He
had learned it from other members, from the
committee; had seen it stated in the New York
Herald and other papers. - The rentleman had
shown mora knowledge of the proceedings of
tnat party than he had, for he had stated tnat
the resolutions introduced here upon Federal
relations were manufactured in Raleigh. He
(Mr. F. V had never heard of that before the ren-
tlemaa had also accused him of acting with pre
cipitin er about thia matter. He hoped that his
friend had acted with aa much cautiousness and
deliberation aa be had. For weeks he had de
liberated as to what course a patriotic judgment
demanded he snouid pursue, lie naa conciuaea
that the honor of tha State and tha safety of her
citizens demanded that the Convention snouid
assemble. It was no question of Union or dis
union. It did not involve the destruction of the
relations existing between North Carolina and
the Federal Government If that question was
E resented at this tune, be would vote against it;
ut the true question was whether the possession
of the Government by the Black Republican
party, the withdrawal of the b tales sooth of us
from the Union, constituted sufficient danrer to
justify us in calling apon the people to assemble
in sovereign capacity, and say wnat JNortn Car
olina should do in the present emergency. He
deprecated all party feeling ; as for himselr, he
would rise above party on thia question. The
political horizon was too threatening with tem
pest and storm the battlements topplinr to their
foundations, presented two fearful a sight to
allow us to dinar alwut minor questions. . .Let
us forget party issues and party conflicts ; let us
furl together party banners, muffle party drums,
and in their place unfurl one broad catholic ban
ner, upon which shall be inscribed the safety,
honor and ultimate security of North Carolina,
Mr. Fleming said he felt called upon, in reply
to the rentleman from Guilford, to aay that nis
county had not been furnished with resolutions
drawn up here or elsewhere, other than such as
originated with her own citizens."
" Mr. Crumpler said be . rose to withdraw his
amendment, until the one offered by the gentle
man from Wake waa acted on. He was wp posed
to toe call or a convention at tais time, and
would oppose it with all his ability. He did
aot regard this aa a party question, and if the
gentlemen from Rowan thought his party bad
caucused upon it, that rentleman was mistaken.
Mr. Folk had said that he should not consider
himself as abandoning his party by favoring a
Convention. That was true ; and ha knew seve
ral Union Democrats who would rote with him
in opposition to a Convention at thia time.

proposed by the rentleman from Wake. Mr. B.

Mr. Fsison gave an account of the meeting held
in his county.
Mr. Folk said be was sorry to think that his

cated a change of political status. Ha never could
have any sympathy with tha Democratic party
as a party, but thia was no party question. He

REPORT OK THE COMMITTEE ON
FEDERAL RELATIONS, dec.
reference to the Legislative proceed
ings of Wednesday, it will: be seen that, a
majority of the Joint Committee on Federal
Relations made a, report , recommending the
call of a State Convention, to be assembled
oa the 18th of February next, for the par
pose of considering the coarse best to be
pursued by this State in the present crisis.'
In the Senate, a very interesting and ex.
citing debate took place on. the proposition
to send Commissioners to South Carolina for
the purpose of counselling with her,; and
urging her to postpone her exodus from the
Union until it could be ascertained whether
she eoald obtain redress for the wrongs of
which she complains. This debate lasted
till the hour of adjournment. We were an
attentive listener to both sides of this dis
eussion, and came very deliberately , to the
conclusion that the appointment of such
Commissioners at this time would utterly fail
to accomplish the object in view In the
first placej South: Carolina will have aoted
through her Convention, which will assem
ble on the 17th instant : and in the second
place, if there was tune to hare a conference
with her, we have every reason to believe
that a reanest for a postponement of her

they are t present. We hope, therefore,
that the Legislature will -refuse to appoint
any XSommiseioners to the State of South
From thV-xeport of the majority X off the
Joint Committee, to hold a State Convention,
we utterly dissent, and we verily believe that
a large majority of the people of the State
of North Carolina concur with us in opinion.
This Legislature may manufacture a Conven
tion, contrary to the wishes of the people,
and it will not be the first occasion on which
public opinion " has been manufactured by
selfish and aspiring men. We say that we
are decidedly against any such Convention,
because, as at present advised, we know of
but'one Convention into which we would wil
lingly 'see North Carolina go, and ' that
Convention would consist of all the States,
exoept those of New England, and would
be held for the purpose of making a new
Confederacy, from whioh the New England
States would.be excluded. ; We can conceive
of no harm to ' the remaining twenty-seven
States which oould Accrue from the exclu
sion of the New England States from a union
with them , but, on the contrary, ire can
clearly see that great good would result from
such exclusion. New England has been the
fruiftal source of all the evils whioh now
encompass us,' and to cut her off from the
body politio would be like the exoision of a
carbuncle from the body natural, and produce
as much relief in the former case as it would
in the latter. Nor would there be the
difficulties of internal . navigation Which
would attend the .division of the onion into
Northern and Southern Republics. , New
England has access by waters flowing in her
own territory to all the markets of the world,
and there wonld he no more danger of a

. . .
the rest of the world. A" Union of

The centre States, from-New York to South
Carolina, we are sure would readily go into
such a Confederacy, and, for one, bo far from
feeling the slightest pang at parting with
New England, we should hail th event with
unspeakable joy. ' She has nothing i in her
revolutionary .history that she can appeal to,
to make a lens. ration from her denlorable.
If in the days of the revolution sne nad great,

of '76 is not the New England of 1860, and

and revere it, we know; the latter only to
hate and despise it from from our inmost soul.

public property, that could be paid for in

could desire1 , ,

the Joint Committee on Federal Relations,
made to the two. branches of the Legislature
on Wednesday : last.- We eacnot notice; it

THE COMMISSIONERS TO S. CAROLI
- - NA THE MIGHT Of SECESSION.! !
We heard Governor Morehead deliver a
most able speech in the Senate on Thursday
against the policy of appointing Commis
sioners to South Carolina, and against the
right of secession. The arguments against
both were unanswerable. : j
;KFWe make the following extract from
a long article m the Richmond Whig: T
It is not ourWrpo&e at present to enter into an y
elaboration of our views in reference to the pend
ing crisis, but only to hint at them in a very brief
manner, in tee nrst place, men, we are xor ex
hausting all rational and honorable expedients
for obtaining a redress of Southern grievances i
the Union, before taking up our hat and walking
out of the J nion. To this end we are for a State
Convention for a Convention of the Southern
States and for a general Convention of all the
States. And if, thiough the instrumentality of
these various Conventions, we cannot affect tan
adjustment of the differences and difficulties ex
isting between the North and the South, then we
are in favor, not of secession, but of a separation
upon fair and just terms, to be arranged by j the
aforesaid Convention ot all the States. In the
terms of separation, if no adjustment can be had
and separation mwjeome, we shall demand a fair
and equitable division of all the property of the
United States, including, or course, the ooutn a
just proportion of the army and navy. If such
Uiwion Vk kue armjr buu uary, uu ui ui mu im-
lie property of the United States, including
likewise the public domain, should be refused us
by the Northern States, then we shall be in favor
neither of peaceable secession nor of peaceable sep
aration, but of immediate war, and war -to the
knife, and war to the "bitter end." i, j
Such is our nroeramme. and such our policy, in
general terms: and such, we trust, will be thepro-
gramme ana policy oi v lrgima anu tue peupm ui
Virginia, and also, of all the Southern States,
without exception. As to the thing you call
peaceable 'secession such secession as South Caro
lina and other Southern States are now preparing
for we consider it unmanly and cowardly in the
highest degree. Instead of involving a demand
for and a defense of our rights, it is a .running
away from our rights, and running away frem
duty, and running away from responsibility. It
is a remedy for nothing it is alike a base aban
donment of our rights and a compromise of honor.
And yet our sister States of the extreme South,
and many persons in our own and other border
States, seem to consider if a great point gained a
mighty triumph achieved if they can only be
graciously allowed by the North to peaceably se
cede, leaving aU their valuable rights in the army
and the navy and the public property behind,
them I ' As for ourselves, we ask no such misera
ble and disgraceful boon at the hands of the North
ern States. We ask of them no boon at all.: j But
we demand of the North, whether we stay in! the
Union or go out of it, ,mir righu and all r our
rights, political or pecuniary, down 1 to the last
atom or the last farthi ne. We mean to run away
fro rti none of them. We intend to secede from
noneofthem. On the contrary, it it comes
to the worst, and separation becomes inevitable,
we mean to take all our rights: along with us,
peaceaby. if we can. forcibly it we must.- Never,
never, will we consent to peaceable secession of
Virginia from the Northern States, unless we
Northern States themselves consent to a fair and
equitable division of; every particle of public
ropertynow belonging to ma uniiea piaus.
f South Carolina and the other Gulf States are
short-sighted and unmanly enough to indulge in
tha luiunr of nraivuihU secession at the sacrifice
of the immense rights they posses in the ar my and
navv and the nublio nronertvof the Union, we
shall regret and deplore their folly, but wa j can
not help it. 1 As Virginians, proud, j courageous
and tenacious of every right and interest which
belongs to us, we shall certainly not ' follow their
mad-cap, cowardly and disgraceful example.
And we indulge the hope that mostof our South
ern sisters will yet think better of this matter, and
pause and reflect before they consent to run nwaX
from their duty and their rights, and take refuge
in the ignominious device of peaceable secession..

HOTJIX or KEFBXSXirt'ATIVXS, v
-"Washington, Dec IjeOT
Dcab Sib : We are in a motTearful crisis. It
seems to be a settled purpose with disunion Sena
tors so to conduct the debates of the. Senate as
further to inflame the Southern mind, already too
much excited, and thereby precipitately force dis
union, regardless of all consequence. "Madness
rules the hour." .With many, who are well mean
ing and, in the main, conservative, "judgment is
dethroned," and " reason has lost its sway.? Oth
ers, entitled tojless consideration, seem " to be
moved by the instigation of the devil ;" " to be re
gardless of social duty," and fatally bent on mis
chief." These act as though determined to press
the South into action whilst laboring under a fa
rious fever. They ffar the effects of the sober sec
ond thought of the' free States on the steady masses
of the South. They are unwilling, to give any
time for reflection, or to enable the Slave States,
having a common interest, to confer with each
other and determine on any line of policy deemed
r Whilst I would not lose one moment in discuas-
ping the right of each State to secede, there ia a nile
of morality, law and religion that ail fair-minded
men ought to respect ana obsorre. It is so old
"that the memory of man runneth not to the con
trary." " The ;perfeclion of reason " is, that we
should so exercise our own rights as not to do in
jury to others,
At best, under present circumstances, and for
existing causes, for the Southern States to secede
is a fearful plunge to all who have social, material
and substantial interests, but the hazards are cer
tainly much greater if they 6hall go off disjoint
ed, differing and, perhaps, quarelling among them
selves. ' - 'j I
If South Carolina and Alabama have just cause
to secede, then all the slave States have a right,
and ought, to go with them. Taking these to be
true, I insist most respectfully that the sister States
of tiie South, that assume to themselves a superior
wisdom and rashly lead so as to create necessity on
the part of their sisters to follow before they have
time to prepare and set their houses in order,"
are wanting in their regard for the feelings and
interests of thdrfleighbors.
; Whenever it is reasonably settled, that our hon
or can no longer bVmaintained and our rights no
longer safe in the yhion, I have loo much confi
dence in the spirit and courage of our. Southern
people, to doubt their united pledges and action to
maintain and preserve them out of it. When we
have exhausted all reasonable and fair means for
our constitutional rights in the Union, and have
failed, I do not insist that we should be deterred
from a separation from the free' States, f because
thereby we lose all the sympathies we now have
with the conservative millions in the free States,
and make them all to us alien Garrisonian aboli
tion enemies, freed from all the restraints growing
out of community of interests, laws and Consti
tution; But this consideration, with the probabil
ities of many bloody battles with the millions of
the North-West, settled on the tributaries of the
Mississippi, growing out of the navigation of that
great river, running from the extreme North
through and to the extreme South ; and the ne
cessity of increased means to meet promptly and
successfully the multiplied friends of John Brown,
should induce us to weigh carefully the causes for
which we so separate, and to be certain that they
are satisfactory, now and in the futur& at least to
the masses in the slaveholding S
: At the risk of much criticism, X venture to express
the hope that some calm, firm and well-considered
line of policy may yet be developed by wiser heads,
which may save the Union, ana secure the consti
tutional equality ot the slave States therein. "
The eyes of the South are now anxiously turned
to Georgia, the Empire State of the South; : We
trust, that her citizens in every neignborhood av
this perilous time, will divest themselves of all
passion, calmly confer,- and give us at once the
summing of wise conclusions. ., --

- UMroBTUXATa Occcbbskcx.- We learn from
tbe Elizabeth City Southron that about a ' week
ago Mr. C. G. Daren port, late editor ofth Eden
ton Express, while in a state of intoxication, shot
and killed an old negro man, belonging to . Mr.
Hutchins, of Eden ton. Mr. D. has a bruise on
his head, which, he asserts, was inflicted by! a blow
from the negro, but the negro in his dying moments
declared that he did not strike, him, and said that
the bruise was occasioned by Mr. D.I falling
against a fence. , Mr. D's. friends are making ef
forts to bail him. ;-v.s 1 -i
The National Intelligencer, in an appeal to the
People of the Southern States, recommends "the
assembling, at an early day, of a Convention pr
Congress of Delegates, who shall be appointed
by the several Slaveholding State?, in such num
ber and in such a' way as shall be deemed most
expedient, for the purposes of mutual consultation
in respect alike to the dangers believed to : be im
pending and the remedy deemed most adequate to
avert tnem.

- WasHnroTOK, Dec. 10. Senate The Senate
agreed to continue the Standin CommlUees of
last session. . v .-. - !. . - ''
. rMr Sumner presented a memorial from Thad
deus Hyatt, asking aid for the people in,. Kanaasc
With relation to the select committee of thir
teen on the President's Message, Mr. Powell, of
Ky., urged its appoinment., - . iV- J s-;
, Mr. E-ing, of , New j Xork, wished v amena
Mr.Poweil's resolution so as to read "for the
protection of Deraons : as well as property in the
United States, and inquire what legislation is neces
sary for the maintenance of the Federal power."
Mr. Green, of Mo., was willing to amend, the
Constitution, as well as give power to tne .execu
tive to enforce the laws and maintain the rights
of persons and property. He advocated a Fed
eral police along the boundary line between the
free and slave States, with power to.arrest and re
turn fugitive slaves. ; v,-.''-.-.. 'j
Mr. Powell's resolution was amended so as to
strike out the portion inquiring as to the necessity
of additional Federal power. ; . f
Mr. Green advocated the amendment of the Con
stitution, provided it was sustained by public sen
timent i not otherwise. -Before the good old times
can be restored, the Government must intervene
to protect the States, and , if, possiDie ciog we
wheels of dissolution until a reaction takes place.
Mr. Foster, of Conn., favored allaying public
excitement. He advocated Powell's resolution.
Mr. Douglas, of 111., was ready to act with
anybody or individual for the preservation of the
Constitution, and urged all to lay asido their par
ty feuds and petty grievances, and look to our
country and not to party. Applause in tn
:1
Mr. Davis, of Mm., saia the prospect pre-
sented was notja very, hopeful one. If Federal
coercion be used, the Union is shattered to frag
ments. The South is prepared todo justice. The
repeal of the Personal Liber .y bills is but of lit
tle account thto only remedy is in tho hearts of
the people. He would resist Federal coercion, and
argued aai.ut l itoj constitutionality!
; The debate was Continued at great length, and
Snding amotion to postpone the resolution till
onday, the Senate adjourned. J '
, House.-Mr. Hawkins explained at leneth why
he could not serve on the Boteler committee, and
in the course of his remarks he bitterly attacked
the unfair construction of tbe committee, tie
was Darticularlv severe on Winter Davie, who,
he said, did not represent' the sentiment of his
State. He gave fair warning that Mississippi,
Alabama. Florida. Georgia and South-Carolina
would certainly secede, and Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas certainly follow. The selection of the
members of the committee tended to 'disgrace and
irritate the South. The time for hatching up a
peace had gone by.' I . ! s '
Messrs. Valllandigham and McClernand com
plained that the Democracy of tbe Northwest
were unrepresented on tne uommiwce.; t
Mr. Sickles said if disunion comes, New York
citylwill set up for herself as 1 a free port. To
settle the present question, he thought the Be-
publicans must take the initiative, and repeal all un
just laws, as well as give the proper protection to
Southern rights. If they win not respeci we
Constitution of our forefathers, it e an not oe ex
pected that they can amend it, guided by sach
men as Seward, Giddings and Sumner, so as to
secure the objects sought for; . , I '.
Pio vote was taken on uawKins; request to oe
excused. . : ' ';' . . . ;
Mr. Sherman, by consent, reported a bill au
thorizing theissueof $10,000,000 Treasury notes,
to meet the necessities, which was passed, ine
bill provides for six per cent, interest, and author
izes the Secretary to issue them, as required by
necessity, to the "highest bidders for specie, with
out restriction as to par value, j "
Adjourned.' ' ' ' , ;
It is estimated that in the last Afty years the
number of slaves who have escaped from the
South is fifteen hundred annually, and the total
loss about forty millions of dollars. : .
