ed for. that purpose, declared herself out of the *** * * ft
.tfoioq, iudopting an ordifaance “ that the Union
. wow, subsisting between South Carolina and the
ether States, under 1 the United States of Ameri-
ca, dissolved.” This treasonable act
ijs jast what we all along suspected. In the
language of Hood—“rashly importunate" she
(has. determined to go out into the cold. W'hat
Is the duty now of the Government ?
Clearly to treat her as if she was in the Union
—•to enforce tho collection of the revenues—dc
tfsnd the forts and retain possession of the pub
lic property—and enforce all of the Statute* at
largt Bndlatct of the Country i Nothing less than
this, on the part of the President of the United
States, will satisfy the Union sentiment every-
where—nothing lees will be right.
For week after week South Carolina has been
making preparations to seoedo, and to carry out
her. design by any necessary resistance to the
United States authorities and laws. The mem-
beis of her convention, who declared the fina*
act, acting and spekking for-the State, (as shown
by the published proceedings of the Convention)
declare that “ there is no Collector of tbo Port
or Post Master within the State —that they bad
abrogated the Constitution of the United States
anithe laws*”. These and similar views were
‘the-sentiments of the Convention. Grant the
Might of tjie State to secede and set up for her
tiuax,right to dissolva all connection with ,
-Ibe. general Goveraaieut, and we think we|
,'lMOgoiae their right to make their own laws—
to collect tbeir own revenue, or if they please,
mud tan, to do without revenue, and cany on
the Government for themselves without any re
sponsibility to the Federal Government, or any
bounden duty to discharge toward her cister
States. But we think it is very clear ehe has
me right to secede, even; had she cause. In that
event, she must get redress in the Union. The
'Constitution points out no way for dissolution.
Secession is revolution. Is their any doubt of
the rigjht and the power of Jho General
iaent to prevent this or to put it down T
True it is, South Carolina need not send
of Congress and Senators to Washing
tpn unlessLshe wishes. They need not draw
. out, oftbe public treasury their $3OOO a year
palaries unless they choose. Judging from the
jgMti that the present members from that State
jha? P.alreadji drawn their full pay for this ses
aion, ,we presume there will not be much diffi
jonlty, aft«r they have bod time to reflect and
tool off, in getting patriots enough, even in the
Palmetto State, to relieve ns of this sum.'
She relative advantages or disadvantages
Sonth Garplina would derive by secession, we
do not propose to write of. In round numbers,
fclr .population consists of 800,000 white people
and 400,000 negro slaves. This .is the human
material for the proposed new Republic. What
■ army she should have, Row it should be equip

Qodgrant,in any contingency, it may not.
.sp.far,,imtil the 20th, they have been talking
of their powers and resources—in
WgseOh-ibalMng. In all.this there was no great
responsibility. Now, however, matters assume

fuse ? Would itnot give them all they now have?
Is It, then, more party spirit now .that presents
giving them all they would get, by establishing
the line he proposed ? : What would they gain
by a refusal? Nothing would be gained, but
all the fatal consequences of disunion would
come. In view of these mighty consequences
and great events, is it not better to settle it on
the Missouri Compromise line ? The people
were' Satisfied with that for thirty years and
would be satisfied with it again. It was bis
settled conviction that unless something is
done we would be a separated and divided
people in less than six months.
Is not this the cheapest price to pay for the
Union ? Some people were not afraid, but so
sure as he stood there, disunion would follow
unless something was done, and he feared it
would swallow .even old Kentucky, as true a
State as yet exists in the Union. He thought
the North ought to be satisfied. The South has
only one-third of the territory. When we come
to make a pWoe offering, do we measure care
fully and count every cent 1 1 It was a glorious
sacrifice of party to save the Union—a Union
which bad copfmuch.sacrifice. Washington said
Providence helped them. Is this great work to
bedashed in'pieces? The recent trouble was
the result of a long controversy, and we have
now come to a place where the preservation de
mands the sacrifice of party. The highest duty
of the Senate is to preserve the Constitution of
the Government, and hand it down to posteri
ty. We are in a position where history will
record our action. When we sow discord and
danger, we show a bitter party spirit, and a
great country is ruined, and to the amazement
of all the world. The Great Republic has fall
en, and our names go down with stigma upon
them, lie wished to God that it was in his pow
er to save the Union by giving up his private
opinions. He would forgo every one. Is the
South bent on revolution ? He did not believe
in such madness. He could speak for his own
State. Old Kentucky would be satisfied with
the remedy, and stind by the Ucion and die by
it. He dosed with a strong appeal to save the
honor of the flag, and expressed the hope that
such would be the case. He then offered his
resolution.
VChtrtat, Alarming dissensions bare aria in between the
Northern and Southern States, as to the rights of the com
mon territory of the United States, and it is eminently de
airab.e and proper that the dissensions be settled by tho
Constitutional provisions which give equal justice to all
sections, and thereby restore peace : therefore
Jtetdvtd, That by the Senate and House of Representa
tives, the following article be proposed and submitted as
an amendment to the Constitution, which shall be valid as
part of tho Constitution, when ratified by tho Conventions
of three-fourths of the people of the States :
First: In all the Territories new or hereafter acquired
north of latitude 3C° SO' Slavery or involuntary servitude,
except for.the punishment for ccimf, is prohibited; while
in all the Territory South of that iatitudefilavery is hereby
recognized aa existing,-and Shalt not be interlered with by
Congress,.but shall bo protected as property by all depart
ments of the Territorial Government during its continu
ance. All the Territory North or Sonth of.aatd lino, with
in sash boundaries as Congress may prescribe, when it
contains a population necessary for a Member of Congress,
with a republican form of government, shall be admitted
Into the Union on an equality with tho original States,
with or without Slavery, as the Constitution of the State
shall prescribe.
Second:; Congress shall hare no power to abolish Shi
very in the States permitting Slavery.
Third: Congress shall have no power to abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia whllt it exists in Virginia and
Maryland, or either; nor shall Congress at any time pro
hibit the officers of the Government or Members of Con
gress, whose duties require them to live in tho District of
Columbia, from bringing slaves there, and bolding them os'
such.
fburOi: Congress shall bare no power to hinder the
transportation of slaves from one State to another, whether
by land, navigable rivers, or sea. /r
Fifth; Congress shall have power by law to pay an
owner who shall apply, tliofull ralue for a fugitive slave
in all eases when the Jlarshal is prevented from dischar
ging his duty by force or rescue, made atter arrest. In all
such cases the owner have power to sue the county
in which tho violenca,ojr rescue was made, and the county
shall have the right to sue the individuate who committed
the wrong in the sama manner as the owner could sue.
Sixth: No further amendment or amendments shall af
fect the preceding articles, and Congress shall never have
power to interfere with; Slavery in the States’where it is
now permitted. &
The last resolntion declAos that the Southern States
have.a right to the faithful exeuitlon of the law for the
recovery of slaves; and Bach laws ought not to be repealed
or modified so ns to Impair their‘efficiency. All laws In
conflict with the Fugitive Slave law it shall not be deemed
improper for Congress to ask the repeal of. Tho Fugitive
Slave law ought to be eo altered as to make the fee of the
Commissioner equal whether be decides for or against the
claimant; and the clause authorizing the person holding
the warrant to snmmoo a potit comitaiut to be so as to re
strict it to cases where violence or lescue is attempted.—
TOe laws for tho suppression of the African slave-trade
ought,to be effectually executed-
'Tas Finances of Pennsylvania. —Wo con
gratulate oar readers, among all the causes of
trouble, upon the. bright exhibit made by the
Auditor General of Pennsylvania. Nearly $7OO
- has been paid into the sinking fund dufmg
the year ending November 30th, and the State
debt has been reduced by that amount. This
has been accomplished while an equal sum of
$700,000 remains in the Treasury ready for the
February interest. '
The interest payable by the State is gradual
ly sinking under the operations of our admira
ble financial system. This year it is reduced
to $1,931,206. The direct tax is reduced to
$1,444, 674, or nearly half a million below the
interest of the debt This difference is met by
indirect taxes and the paymentabf the Pennsyl
vania Railroad for the Public Works. Our debt
is.heavy, but it is thus becoming'lighter every
day. ■
SfeakkbJ of the Senate.— We hive heard

'Speakership of the Senate of Pennsylvania.—

Santa Claus Head -Qu asters. —Wo are now
writing with one of Fettinger’a magnificent gold
pens, which, together with a massive holder ef
some other composition, was left upon our table.
It writes so smoothly and slips over the paper
so fast that we can hardly keep from stretching
the truth, but nevertheless, what we say here
Fet’s will fully substantiate. He has
just returned from the city and has now on ex
hibition ;ani sale, at his Literary Emporium, the
moat costly and consequently the finest display
of beautiful gifts and fancy toys for the Holi
days that this part of the country has yet seen.
Mammoth dolls, worth from $2 to $l, all dres
sed up in silks, gold and silver lace and rib
bands, all kinds of “ jim-craeks,” for the.boys,
candies j that can not be rivalled, and Annuals,
Albums, Hymn Books, Prayer Books, expressly
for gifts from friends to friends. His stock of
jewelry is fine, consistingof lockets, breastpins,
ear rings, finger rings, &0,, together with plenty
of suck pens as we now write with, which are
cheap at the price asked for them. By all
means go and see Fet's store to-morrow.
*e* We are still in the notion of enlarging
our paper, at the commencement of the next
volume, and would therefore remind our patrons
that the time for which the majority of them
hare subscribed expires about the first of the
year, and if they hare a desire to see the paper
enlarged and improved, we hope they'will call
soon and give us a lift in that direction. We
have not published a rugular “ dun” in our
paper (or over three years aud we do not intend
to bore ;our readers with one so long as we con
trol the Tnbune. When we can’t get, money
without doing so we will quit the business. We
don’t Wish the above to be taken as a “ dun"
but merely a reminder, which, if promptly acted
upon wiU be for the benefit of our subscribers
as well as ourselves, It will cost something
to enlarge our paper and add additional cost to
keeping it up hereafter, yet we do not increase
the prjce of subscription.
Important.— According to a decision of the-
Post Office Department, made during the past
summer, all letters, no matter to whom ad
dressed, must.be prepaid by stamps. This de
cision applies to letters addressed to members
of Congress, or the State Legislature, conse
quently those of our readers wlio address letters
V> either of the above named officers* most pre
pay the postage thereon, otherwise their letters
will be I sept to the Lead Letter Office.- Atten

Avoid Pedlkxs. —Not long since a gentleman
in a neighboring county bought of a pedler
some salve for corns. He 'applied it, and it
caused a sore which continued to spread and
cause intense pain until he was relieved by
death. This is but one of a thousand warnings
against dealing with any of the thousand vaga
bond swindlers who are allowed to harangue
crowds in our towns, and prowl among the far
mers, cheating the simple and sometimes im
posing upon the very shrewdest. Some of them
are doubtless prisqn birds, and belong to gangs
which tell each other where they can pluck the
fattest geese by the way of trade, if they never
dare go twice to the same place. The right
way is to buy all you have to buy af settled
merchants, who pay rents, license and clerks,
and who can, be held responsible if they defraud,
and be avoided if they cannot be punished.
Christmas ahd tub Poor. —ln the midst of
the festivities incident to the holiday season, let
the poor and destitute be kindly remembered.
The poor we have always with us, and it is
recorded as a Divine saying, that “ inasmuch
as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye
have done it unto me also.” The reward of the
charitable is not of this world, but finds its place
in the sacred memories of Heaven, la the
meantime; however, let as feast upon the good
things that are provided by an all-wise Provi
dence for our use, for it is a kind of gratitude
to the Giver of all good things to enjoy tho fruits
of the earth in due season.
The lost Erie Dispatch ‘contains a strong
article seconding the suggestion of the Cam

well known to our readers in and about Bloom

so graphically shown up in the Pittsburgh Trvt
Prat, a year and more ago, died lately in Peo

nevertheless, the managers have our thanks for
their kind invitations. We hope the affair net

A Tebeiule Calamity isj Mabibtta— Four
Children Burnt to Death.—On Sunday evening,
about 8 o’clock, a fire broke put iu a two-story
frame house occupied by a colored man named
John Walker, in an alley opposite Samuel John
son's stable, Marietta, and before it was discov
ered, or before assistance reached the spot, the
interior was a sheet of flamej and four children
—three of them belonging tp Walker, and the
other a child of his sister in law—perished in the
flames. It appears, says the Express, that, early
in the evening, the children iyere put to bed on
the second story, and that shortly afterwards
the father locked the door and went to church,
leaving the fire in the stove down stairs. There
was some kindling wood on the tup of the stove,
which it is supposed caught fire, and hence the
cause of the frightful calamity. As soon as the
alarm was given several persons were quietly
on the spot, and for a few seconds the terrified
faces of the children were at an upper win
{ dow, but they soon disappeared and were not
| afterwards seen until their charred remains
i were picked out of the smouldering ruins. The
I ages of the children ran from about four to ten
I years. Another, a boy about 13 years, wlio was

Tub New Governor of Carolika.—
The Legislature of South Carolina has succeed
ed, after seven ballots, aujd by a vote of 82
against 64 for Mr. JohnsonJ in electing a Gov
ernor, Col. Pickens being the successful candi
date. This election may be regarded ns some
what significant, inasmuch |as Col. Pickens is
looked upon by the extremist in the State as
much too moderate in his principles. It is well
kno Wn that he strenuously ! opposed the seces
sion movement until after | the election of Mr.
Lincoln ; when by the sbeCr force of the cur->
rent he was pressed into the movement. His
election may be regarded as an anti-revolution
victory, as it is generally believed in the State
that he will not proceed to extremities until all
negotiation and argument With the General Gov
ernment have failed. Pickens was late United
States Minister to Russia. -
