The last Gazette contains an article com menting on the Uaioo meetings of week be- ; fore lust. It trys to place tbe Republicans in ; a wrong position, and has not the fairness to j let their proceedings go before its readers.

Andrew Juhusou, of Tennessee, made a strong Union speech iu the Senate, the other day. lie took the grounds that no State had a right to secede, aud that the Government ought to enforce the laws at all hazards.— Such is the sentiment of a large majority of Union-ioviug men iu aiany of the Southern States.

PENNSYLVANIA.— We congratulate our readers, among all the causes of trouble, upon the bright exhibit made by the Auditor General of Pennsylvania. Near ly §>700,000 has been paid into the sinking fund during the year ending Novembi r 30, aud the State debt has been reduced by that amount. This baa been accomplished while an equal sum of $700,000 remain in the Treasury ready for the February interest. The interest payable by the State is gradu al! sinking under the operation cf out admi rable financial system. This year it is reduced to $1,931 '205. The direct tax is reduced to $1,44-1.674., or nearly half million below the interest of the debt. This difference is met by indirect taxes aud the payments of the Pennsylvania llailrosd for the Public Works. Our debt is heavy,T>ut it is thus becoming lighter every day. Godard Btiley, who has charge of the ludian trust fuuds in the Department of the Interior, Washington, has confessed to the Secretory of that Department that he some time since ab stracted from a safe in his office, State bonds and Coupons to the amount-of $830,000, which ne and other parties used for the purpose of hypothecation, and with the intentiua of resti tution. But owing to the present panic, they found themselves unable to do so. The dispatch says Mr Buily attracted these funds for "tem porary purnoses," as if that lessened the crime any. If this pita avails him, tiie man who hereafter invades the precincts of a hcu-coop, nnd is caught with the fowls in bis bands, will only have to say that he took them for ''tempo rary purposes/' South Carolina* The following ordiuauce was passed by the South Carolina Convention, at Charleston, on the 20th inst.

SHALL IT BE A MONARCHY! in order to apprise our readers of the gov ernmental projects whifh are already built on the apprehended ruin ot tbe Federal Union, we invite particular attention to tbe subjoined extract from an elaborate editorial article in the Augusta (Gra.) Chronicle and Sentinel of the Bth instant. It is only ono of vety many similar intimations which have recently met our eye in the Southern press : "If the Federal system is a failure, the question may well he asked, tot not the whole republican system a failure ? Very tuany wise, thinking uieu say so. We formed tbe Federal Govern men t because the separate States, it was thought, wore not strong enough to stand aloue. and because they were likely to prove disadvantageous, if not dangerous, each to the other, in their distinct organiz ition, aud with their varying interests. When we break up, will the disadvantages and danger* of separate States be such as to require the formation of a new Confederacy of those which are at present, supposed to be homogeneous ? If we do form a new Confederacy, when the old is gone, it would seem to be neither wise, prudent, nor statesmanlike to frame it after the pattern of the old. Sen safeguard? and guarantees must necessarily he required, aud noue hut a heed less maniac would seek to avoid lookiug this matter squarely in the faeo. "It is true that wo might m ke a Coustitu tioD for the fifteen Southern States which would secure the rights of all, at present, fioui harm, or at least which would icquire a clear viola tion of its letter, so plainly that the world would discern it, when unconstitutional action was consummated. But, then, io the courso of years, a? men changed, times changed, interest* ehanged, business chaoged, productions chang ed, a violation of the spirit might occur, which would not bo clearly a violation of the letter. It may be said (hat the Constitution might pro vide for its own change, as times changed.— Well, that was the design wltca our present Constitution was formed, aud still we say it was a failure. llow more carefully could a now oae be arranged 1 Men will say that we of the South ore one, and that we shall get along well enough. But they who say it know neither history nor human nature. When tbe Union was formed, twelve of the thirteen fStatj? w re -1 ivehoiding ; and if tbe cotton gin had not b'en furcate 1 there would not probably to-day have been an African slave in Noith Ameriot. "But how about the Stale orgablzifions ? Tilts is an rmpoi tint consideration, for whether *' consult with the other Southern St.tes or no', it is certain that each State uinu set for itse.r, iu the Cri-t instance. When any State goes out of ihf present Federal Union it then \ becomes a foreign Power, as to all other ! States, as weil as to the world. Whether u will unite again with any of the States, or stand alone, is for it to determine. The new (Joo federuey must then bo made by those States j which dctiie it ; and if Georgia, or any other State, does not find the proposed terms of fdr station agreeable, she can maintain her own separate form of goveromcn', or at least try it. Well, what form of gov- rnmaot shail we have 1 Ibis is more easily asked than annver- 1 cd. "Sotar of *he wisest and best citizens pro pose a HEREDITARY CONSTITUTIONAL MONAR CHY ; but however good t at may b- in itself, the most important point to discover is, wheth er or not the people arc prepared for it. It 19 thought, again, by . then tint we shall be able to go on for a generation or two, iti a new Oon federacy, with additional safeguards—such, for .ustaooe as an Executive for itfe, a vastly rt stricte I suffrage, Senators fleeted for life, or for a long period, say twenty one y-ars, and the.most popular brrncb of the as-enii.ly elec ted for seven years, the .Judiciary absolutely independent for lire, or good behavior. The frequency of elections, and the universality of sultragi-, witn the oiterideut arousing of the people's pasaiuns, and the necessary sequence of uemegogues bejug elevated to high stations, are thought by nuuy fcu he the great causes of trouble smoug us, 1 We throw out these suggestions that the people uiay think of them, and act as their in terests require. Our own opinion is that the South might be the greatest nation on the earth, and might maintain on the basis of African slavery, not only a splendid Government, but a secure republican Government. But still our tears are that, through anarchy wo shall reach the despotism of military chieftains, and 6nai!y be raised again to monarchy." THE REPORTED WAR IN KANSAS. Liter accounts show clearly that there has been no 'war of extreme ferocity' carried on; that Burt Scott has not been taken nor even approached; that Paris has not been sacked or molested: that Missouri ins not been invaded and none of her citizeus have l e u molested; that Williams' Court was not broken an nor the records of the Land Offi e seized; and, in fact, that all of this excitement grew out of the hanging of three men by a vigilance com mitter of the citizens of Southern Kansas ■he bullstaflian Judge, \Y illiatus, conscious, probably, of deserving punishment, saw mul tiplied legions of men in buckram, aud fled like a oow.rd to Missouri when no oue thought , of molesting him, aud there in his fright, sat I down to the task of alarmiog the whole ooun i try by sending false dispatches all over it. Aud now the truth begius to come out. Col. 1 Morin, the Register of the U. S. Land Office at boit Scott, telegraphs that no demonstra tions have been made agaiust that plaoe, and that he thinks that VM iiiiams is entirety unius tifiaole in breaking up his Court; the company of men seen iu Missouri and supposed to be i Montgomery and his band, are proven to have | beeu a company of U. is. troops on their way 1 to Fort Smith; no war or revolution exists in Southern Kansas, and thus the whole thing ends iu smoke. We hope that in the future moo will think before they condemn, and when such reports as these are sent out reipecting Capt. Montgom ery, that people will bewaro how tboy btjieve such ex parte evidence agiinat a man whose character has heretofore beeu without apiw or blemish, aud whoso moral worth has always in tho past beeu far greater than those of his ma lignant accusers.— Atchison Champion.

A R Et'OJIJI E.HDATIOI Numerous appeals have been made to mo by pi ous and patriotic association* and citizens, in view of tbe present distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that ads," be set apart for HUXIMATION, FASTING AMD PRAYER throughout the Union. In compliance with their request, and my own jense of duty, I designate FR(DAV, THE 4RU BAY OF JANUARY, 1801, for this purpose, and recommend that the people assemble on that day, according to tbeir several forms of worship, to keep it as a sol emn Fast. Tbe Union of the States is at the present mo ment threatened with alarming and immediate dan ger; panic and distress of a fearful character pre vail throughout the land; our laboring population are without employment, and consequently depriv ed of the moans of earning their bread. Indeed, hope seems to have, deserted the minds of men.— All classes arc in a state of confusion end dismay, aud the wisest councils of our best and purest niea are wholly disregarded. In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our lathers ? His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crinit s and follies —our own ingratitude and guilt towards our Heav enly Father. Let us, (hen, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling ourselves before the Most High, in confessing our individual and nation al sins, and in acknowledging the justice of our, punishment. Let ua implore Him to remove from our hearts the false pride of opinion which would impel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of con sistency, rather than yield a just submission to tbe unforsten exigencies by which we are now sur rounded. Let us with deep reverence beseech Him to restore the friendship and good will which pre vailed in former days among the people of tbe sev eral States; and above all, to save us from the hor rors of civil war and "blood-guiltiness:" Let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne that he would not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but re member us as he did our fathers in the darkest days of the Kevolution, and preserve our Constitution and our Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to come. - AU Omnipotent Providence may overrule exist ing evils for permanent good. He can make the wrath of man to praise Ilim, and the remainder of wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every indi vidual, in whatever sphere of life he may be placed to feel a personal responsibility to God aud his country for ke-ping i.us day holy, and for contrib uting all in liis power to remove our actual aud im pending calamities. JAMES BUCHANAN. WASHiXGTOX, Dec.—l 4, 1860. - t* John-tons Amendments to the Con stitution of the I'alted States. Ou Thursday week, Mr. Johnston, of Ten nessee, read in the U. S. Senate a resolution proposing auioodmr-ut-i to the Constitution, and state! his iDtentiou to offer it at the proper time. The following are tbe proposed aiueuj incuts : Each State shall be divided into districts equal io number to the whole number of Sco ut irs and Representatives to whieb each may be entitled. On the firft Thursday in August, 1864. and on the esine day every fuuttb year thereafter, the people shall vote in their respective dis tricts for Presideut and Vice President. The candidate reeeiviug the highest number of votes in any district shall be bolden to have received one vote. Congress shall meet on the second Monday of October, 1864, and on the same day every fourih year thereifter; and tho President of the Setiato shall open the certificates "f sec tion returns, and tbe person having the great est rumber of vote* for Presideut, shall be Preside*)*, if such number be equal to a major ity of the whole number of votes given. If luo person shall have such majority, a second j election shall be held on tho first Thursday in j December, following, between the persons : having the two highest numbers at the first ; election, and *he one receiving tbe greater uumber shall be President. [Tho election of Vice President shall be effected in like ruin | net.] The President in 1864 shall be chosen from j the slave States, and the Vice President from ! the free States. In 1868 tbe President shall Ibe chosen Irom the free States, abd the Vice | President from the Slave States, and so on, j alternately, every four years, during the con tinuance of the Government. Tbe United States Senutors shall be elected i by the people. The term* of Supreme Judges shall he litn | ited to tweive years, one half of them to be • chosen from the slave State*, and the other hall from the free States. We had suppmscd that tho lowest depth of human baseness bad already been reached in and about the White House, but wo wete mis taken —here it is at last! We quote from the Washington correspondence of the Herald, but not without having first made inquiry aud been satisfied 'hut the paragraph i* substantially i true: i "lu every hotel and every street in this city, ! we hear hardly anything but denunciation of j tho President for his course iu refusing to strengthen Major Anderson. Justice should | be done to the President by aseerting the fact, and I make the assertion upon good authority, that the President stands in fear of assas&i --j nation if he attempts to increase the force at i Fort Moultrie. He has so expressed biuiselt to a distinguished Democratic member of the \ Government, who I know would have denounc ed hint in the Seuato a* a traitor, had not the acknowledgement referred to been made, which enlisted for the President the sympathy of the Senator, and induced him to withhold his de nunciation."

EXCITEMENT AT PITTSBURG. The Allegheny Arsenal to Provide aims for Southern Forts- THE ACT OPPOSED BY THE CITIZENS GENERALLY. PITTSBURGH, Dec. 24. Au iuteose excitement was created here to day in consequence of it being made public that the U. S. Quartermaster Taliaferro, was negotiating for the shipment from Allegheny Arsenal of seventy-eight guns to Newport, near Galveston Island, near the Bulize, at the mouth of the Mississippi. Major Sy msngten, of Maryland, who is in commaud of the Arsenal, declined giving the press any information on the subject. It seems that the points referred to are now forts that have never yet been mounted ; these guns ate designed for their armameDt, the gun carriages being tmde at Watervleit, N. Y.— These guns are ten inch columbiads to 32- pounders. Genera! Moorhead, our Member of Congress, immediately telegraphed to Mr. Stanton, the Chairman of Military Affairs in the House, for information. Leading Democrats also tele graphed to Washington to have the orders countermanded, saying that the people would not allow the guns to be removed. Persons of all parties are excited about this removal, the oue charging that it is an attempt to strip the Allegheny Arsenal and place the guns where the secessionists may get thorn, while others regard it as an attempt at coercion. A call is iu circulation addressed to the Mayor to convene a meeting of citizens to take action on the matter. It will be held at Du quesue Depot, on Wednesday. The call is signed by men of all parties. 'The feeling against allowing a gun to be removed South is almost unanimous'! The report prevails that muskets, shells, balls and cavalry accouter- Uieota t.< a considerable amount have already beeu shipped. HIGHLY IMPORTANT!
