“Punch” FeneillwgSt
Mr. Punch is satirical upon the prominent
personages in the South of Europe. His last
cartoon, entitled “Tho Rub,” represents a
party playing Whist. The Pope has Fnsxcis
of Naples for his partner, and seems to hare
bad luck, for he is labelled with the exclama
tion, « H’m f Botliertliecards.lssy.” Italy,
personified as a young woman sadly beauti
ful, has Gabibaldi for her partner. In the
middle of tho play, Victor Esmaxuel struts
in, and Garibaldi rises from his seat, and
offering him the cards, says “Now Sire ! will
you go lon with tho Game 1” The King of
Naples, who raises his hand to -prevent his
diadem from falling of, and looks particularly
wretched, says, « If he cuts in, I lose my
crown to a certainty.”,
Punch had a cartoon, in a recent sumbor, in
which he introduces the Prince ot Wales, at a
ball in the United States, to this fair, cousin,
Miss Columbia. He follows out this idea in a
few'aianzas upon the reported marriage ot tho
Prince —who completes his nineteenth year
this very day—with a German Princess, and

England’s Foreign Policy.
England seems drifting back into Abso
lutism, even though she apparently does not
discourage the efforts, of Gabib.ilm to de
throne Francis of Naples, and make Victor
Emmanuel King ot united Italy. Lord Pal
merston Is cognizant, of cohrse, of the re
cent letter sent by Lord Joan Bussell to
Count Cavoub, declaring that Victor Em
manuel must not think of attacking Ve
netia. Lord Palmerston has been a Mi
nister of State at least forty-seven years
ont of the last flity-fonr. Even in the
Reform Cabinet he was a sort of Tory. Ever
since, ho has been Tory when he durst. It is
he, not tho Imbecile Lord John Russell, who
tells o avour that Austria must not be
meddled with. In a letter from Professor
Newman to a London newspaper, it is stated
that Palmerston “pertinaciously sticks to his
old doctrine, that Austria must, at all events,
be sustained in her possession of Hungary.
This is tho key to the understanding of Lord
John Russell’s letter, wich is no hasty out
burst of official impertinence, but a grave and
solemn protest. If yon accept it as a pass
ing cloud, I believe yon blind yourself. If
Austria invades Italy—l hope she may not;
nevertheless, I expect that she will, and vfiry
shortly—she is to be permitted to draw troops
from Croatia, but Victor Emmandel is not
to be permitted by England to land troops in
Croatia. The plain meaning of Lord John’s
warning is, that the English fleet is to bar the
way of the Sardinian fleet, and, it necessary,
to destroy it, rather than allow Victor Emma
nuel to invade those Austrian territories
which are disaffected. This is exactly Pal.
hekstoh and Russell repeating in 1860 the
conduct for which Derby and Malmesbury
were driven from office in 1859.”
Mr. Newman adds: “At this moment, in
my belief, Fbanois Joseph is deriving en
couragement for bis meditated invasion of
Italy, by the assurance that, if he does it be
fore Parliament meets, our Ministry will not
permit Sardinia to arouse Croatia and Hun
gary against him. The new Austrian diploma
does not restore tho historical constitution of
Hungary. It withdraws from her Diet all con
trol over the army and over finance—the two
vital points. It dismembers the kingdom ei
Hungary by cutting away Transylvania, Ser
via, and Croatia. Tho Hungarians could only
accept such a constitution as a weapon lor ex
torting more; for if the army and finance are
put beyond their reach, their liberties may bo
destroyed by a stroke ot tho same pon which
now aflects to bestow them. These very pro
posals were officially made to the Diot in Sep
tember, 1848, when tho invasion by Jella
ciiioh was impending. Hungary was then un
armed, and it was known that jELLAcnion was
a tool of the dynasty under the mask of re
bellion ; yet tho Diet unanimously refused as
sent to their own slavery; such they judged
the proposal of withdrawing from them the
control of tho army and finance to be. When
I consider the arrests which have been recent
ly made, and tho crnelty of pressing into tho
army, as privato soldiers, tho Hungarian offi
cers who resigned their commissions a yoar
ago, I cannot think that Austria designs' sin
cere conciliation. 1 fear it is only like the
Stadion Constitution of 1849—a gift on pa
per, to ho withdrawn whon the campaign
closes.”
England will endeavor to avoid getting in
volved in an European war. That with China,
which Mr. Disbakli wonld call “ a mero flea
bite,” has already cost about $60,000,000, and
not a blow yet strnck. She cannot afford to
go to war. Sir Abcbibald Alison told the
volunteers, at Glasgow, a fortnight ago, “the
whole army of Great Britain is about 230,000
men. Of these 80,000 must ho absorbed in
India in consequence of the revolt, and 40,000
in tho other colonies. There remains, then,
100,000 for the British Islands. 30,000 must
be put in Ireland, at least 85,000 must be
placed in Portsmouth, Plymouth, and other
such towns, leaving only 85,000 troops to de
fend the country against a Power which could
bring, If-the sea were open to it, as many as
250,000 men to our shores.”
England cannot safely go into an Enropean
war. Sho has no army, and as for purchasing
Hessians, as she did in tho first contest with
us, and tho subsequent battles against NAro
; Leon, she cannot afford it. Professing to be
.neutral, why should she side with Austria 1
Queen Victoria’s husband is a Gerfuan, eter.
naliy but quietly meddling with politics— a
weak man, but conceited—taking bis cue from
the Continent, and, with great affectation of
Liberalism, bonnd to the chariot-wheels of
Absolutism.
Of the future of Italy, whether England side
with Austria or be neutral, wo have no donht.
The conspiracy of Austria, Prussia, and Russia
at Warsaw—these same Powers divided Po
land among themselves—cannot put down the
feeling of'Liberty which now pervades Italy.
The London Times , of the 26th October, thus
concludes an article of remarkable power:
« We do not despair that the day will arrive
when the three Northern Powers who have
just met at Warsaw, apparently to commemo
rate their joint exploit—the partition of Po
land—and to recall to the memory of mankind
the detested traditions of the Holy Alliance,
will unite to acknowledge the Crown which
Italy has’just placed on tho brow of Victor
Ehkasucl, and to give the sanction to a revo
lution, successful in spite of their earnest pro
tests and bitter reclamations.”
Shall England be on the side of Liberty, or
opposed to it ? We fear the worst, with
Tory Palmerston and Aristocratic Rus#ell
mismanaging her foreign policy.
The Mnnicipal Buildings.
It will be seen by the report of the pro-,
ceedmgs of our municipal legislature, yester
day, that about two-thirds of tho members of
Common Council have unequivocally decided
against locating the proposed new buildings on
Independence Squaro. This decision does cre
dit to their judgment and their regard for the
wishes of a large majority of tho citizens of
Philadelphia. It is true that many owners of
property in that vicinity are warmly in favor
of erecting thp pew buildings there, and, be
sides that, lrom force of habit apd other con
siderations, many suppose that tho precept lo
cation, or one very near it, will bo much more
convenient to business men than any other
likely to bo selected.
Bat dt must bo remembered that it now
buildings aro erected at all tboy should be of
such a character so would answer tho purposo
for which they aro designed, poj, pjerely during
the activo life of tho present, but ot future
generations. Tho course of business and of
population in onr city is flowing westward
with extraordinary rapidity. Tho squaro be
tween Eighth and Ninth is now tho very heart
of Chestnut street, in a social pnd business
point of viow. It is but a comparatively
few, years since tho square between Fourth
and FUth streets occupied a somewhat simi.’
tar position. At this rsto, oven Broad street,
in twenty years, will not seem farther west, in
a business point of view, and M B place of
daily attraction for a large portion of our po-:
pulation, than Sixth Btreet was twonty years ■
ago. Even if it wore clearly domonsfrate.d
that Independence Square was tho best loca
tion for the present period, this ono conside
ration should turn tho scale against it. Bqt
when it is remembored that buildings of tho
proper kind cannot be erected upon it without
seriously encroaching upon spaco which a do
cent regard for historic asspciptlong, and for tho
spirit and lottcr of tho legislation by whlpjt tho
title of our city to it was acquired, shonld
iorco ns to consider as sacred groand, the ar
gument against the proposition which has been
so pepsistontly and tenaciously sustained by
pecuniarily fqtergpted parties becomes irre
sistible.
Philadelphia should certainly not djsgraco
herself iq the eyes of tho whole country by
making forever tho Mecca of American free
dom a vast den for tho daily congregation oi
all the vile, intriguing, and disreputable spirits
which all past experience has shown, will In
evitably bo attracted around tho courts where
Justice is administered, and the various offices
and deliberative assemblies connected with fhft
municipal Government. There is far too much
Of this even now. It shonld bo reformed and
abolished, not increased and porpatuated.

The Secession Movement.
By our despatches from South Carolina it i
will be seen that that State is apparently do- i
ing all in hor power to fulfil the threat she ;
has so often made of seceding from tho Dnion.
Tho only token of a conservative spirit mani- ‘
Posted was the proposition en the part of a
small minority oi her Legislature to wait for
tho co-operation of other States. In some
former emergencies this idea was a sort of
safety-valve; for, while the ce-operationists
were waiting for the support of sister Con
federacies, tho Disunion storm blew over.
But yesterday this suggestion was promptly
rejected, and tho determination was boldly
expressed to set the ball of secession in mo
tion “ solitary and alone,” if necessary. A
new Convention, however, is to be elected,
and after it assembles in December next, it
will he ascertained whether tho co-oporation
ists will also prove powerless in that body,
and if they are, succeeding events will demon
strate whether tho theory that the Federal
Government is a mere rope of sand is practi
cally correct or not.
The despatch purporting to come from
Washington and to represent the views of
Mr. Buouanan, is of a very singular tenor.
It is reported that the President says he
« will resist nullification, but not secession.”
This is certainly the most singular doctrine
that can well be imagined, it the usual signifi
cation is to bo attached to those momentous
words. To our judgment, it appears there can
be no practical and effective secession, with
out resorting to nullification in its very worst
forms. There may ho nullification without
secession, but there certainly can he no seces
sion without nullification. A State may vio
late some of the laws of the nation without
seceding from it, or even desiring to do so,
and such attempts have been of not unfre
quent occurrence in our country. Thus
she is, of course, guilty of an attempt
at nullification. But secession implies that
not only one, but all tho laws of the’ Fe
deral Government, witl he set at defiance
and nullified by the State which resorts
to It. The act ot soceding necessarily implies
a complete separation from tho
in a legal sense of tho term, and consequently
au utter disregard ot its Constitution and all
the statutes enacted under it, except so far as
thoy may ho deemed suitable to tho exigencies
of the new sovereignty to ho established; just
as, whon tho thirteen colonies seceded from
Great Britain, nobody obeyed any English law
because it was an English law—indeed, all
offensive statutes of tho mother country were
nullified in a very determined and unequivo
cal manner, and only each English laws us
woro tasteful to the American people woro le
gally established and acquiesced in. If, there
fore, the vencrablo Old Public Functionary
successfully opposos nullification in South
Carolina, thcro can oi course be no effective
secession during his official term. If tho national
revenues are collected, tho proceedings of tho
Federal court 3 continued, tho operations of
the Post Ofiico Department uninterrupted, and
the Constitution and the laws of Congress
enforced, and not nullified , in tho Palmetto
State, it is impossible to conceive iiow her
legal status would differ from that of any other
American Commonwealth, no inattorwhat hor
politicians might say about Bocession.
The reported position of tho President on
this question is evidently either an idle and
unauthorized rumor, or ho has spoken with
“ a forked tongue ” to tho Disunionists.
The First Congressional District.
A telegraphic dospatch has been received
announcing that Gov. Packer has issued his
proclamation declaring that Mr. Leuman is
tko duly elected member ot the next House of
Representatives of tho United States for the
First Congressional district of Pennsylvania.
Tho bold fraud that was peipetratod by Wil
liam Byerly, tho return judgo of the Fourth
ward, is no longer a mattor of doubt. He has
been tried, convicted, and sentenced. The
fraud has been judicially ascertained, and of
this Gov. Packer might well tako notice.
Let us look at the Election law. Tho atten
tion of the Legislature has been directed to
prevent and detect frauds. Formerly, it was
not necessary to file a return of tho votes of
each precinct in the Prothonotary’s office of tho
Oohrtof Common Pleas, on the morning after
the election. Ho return was made until after
the lapse ef three days,when the general returns
wera presented at a meeting of the return
judges. Thiß afforded araplo time to project and
practise all sorts oi frauds npon the ballot
boxes j and it was not until after the meeting
of tho return judges that tho election was de
cided. Experience had Bfiown that frauds
could bo successfully practised, and that 1b
some instances false returns had been ioisted
on tho return judges. To prevent this, the
provision in the act of 1851, prepared by
William L. Hiest, Esq., rendered It the duty
of tho judge of- each precinct to file in the
ofiico of tho Court of Common Pleas, on tho
morning succeeding tho election, tho return of
tho votes cast. This ’is tho first and the best
ovidence of tho result of tho election. It is
the original count, verified by tho inspectors,
clerks, and tho watchers appointed by the
Opposition—it is the count which the law re
quires to bo announced to the peopjo fropi the
window of the polls, before there is any
time tor alteration or any possibility of
concert and comparison, and is really the
only true and reliable record of the votg. It
is ono of the checks provided by law to secure
a trno return, and being tiled of record, is
proporly within the scope ot the Executive’s
knowledge.
Perpetuity of the American Union
BY GRAYBEARD
In addition to the woighty reasons in favor of
tho perpetuity of the American Union, pot forth
by patriots and statesmen, from Wasbingtongjown,
tboro have been many arguments advanced by
historians, philosophers, theologians, and others,
to show the improbability of its desolation. Some
of tho most ourioue, if r.<>t ile meet plausible
among theso, are tho following : Tho Rev. F. E.
Pitta, of Nashville, Tonn.*, in & discourse delivered
in tho Capitol of the United Slates, on the anni
versary of Washington’s birth-day, 1857, took
ground, that the prophecy in Isaiah, respecting
“ a nation born at once,” was consummated in the
birth of tho American Republic, and that the pe
riod of time fixed in Revelation for the fulfilment
of this prophecy had, by a calculation based upon
Soripturo data, actually expired, at the meridian
of Philadelphia, at a quarter to three o’olook in
tho afternoon of July -Ith, 17'iG ! Tho nation thus
born U also said to bo that symbolized by the
“stone out out of the mountain without hands,”
in Daniol’s piopheoy, tho glory of which “ shall
oontiimo,” and whose “sun shall no more go
town-”
' In a aeries wf sermons by Dr. J. F. Borg, of thia
oity, published in 1856, tho author eiakod his
ability, as an cmlnont theologian, by gravoly as
serting that the “stone” kingdom, already re
ferred to, pointed, “ boyond question, to our own
Republic,” and that the Scripture declarations,
“it-shall never bo dostroyod,” and “it shall
stand forever,” were spoken with reference to our
own nation* To this and kindred prognostications
relating to tho permanoncy of tho Union,- based
upon unfulfilled prophecy, may bo added that of
the venerable Lyman Boeohor, D. D. The latter
is reported to have once said, in a publio address,
that “ God would never have helped the Ameri
can people to establish this freo and independent
Government, if lie had intonded ever to let it go
to the deyii.” ' ' '
Another theory, whioh probably quite as satis
factorily meets the exigencies of the “ Union”
oase now in pourt, is that founded upon the pecu
liar topography and pb’yeioal oharaotbristioo of our
Continent, tho ablest ohampion of which is Colonel
William Gilpin, late of the United States army,
whose views havo recoutJy been published by
Sower, Barnes, & Co , of this city. Whatever
may fro said of Mr. Gilpin’s deductions from the
data precepted, his book is rpmarfiaftle contain
ing the best digested geographical portraiture of
the continent of North America that has yet ap
peared. Ho contrasts tho topography of our
country with that of the other grand divi
sions of the earth, with the view of showing
that the untold millions, who shuli yet be born
jA it, are destined to bo a united, homogeneous
people. goipe of tho arguments presented are cer
tainly plausible, if tboy are not ofjn&lppiyp. Jtio
a foot that tho whole continent of North America,
with the exception of & margin upon cither
side, separated by mountain raugos—the Alle
ghenies on the east, nod the great Cordilleras
on tho west—presents to the heavens the
fo/Ej <?f- r r n ottstrotohed bowl, with its rivers
flowing* nmaviily> »pd pawing out to the ocean
through thegreat trough of the'Mfßtisalppl. Thus
we have rolled out, in one uniform expanse o?
2,300,000 square miies, an oroa of arable laud
equivalent in surface to the aggregate of the val
leys of all tho othor continents, whioh are small
isolated. All this, by tho interring of rivers
and artificial mcap? of communication, presents &
unity of syßtem, in wnfoh cpy Jtye of
that could be proposed would necessarily be arbi
trary. In this respect our oontineot Is peculiar.
In Zurppo, Asia, Afrioa, and even South Amorioh,
,to some extent, th? howl is invorted, and the
rivers, instead of mingling ip sue pighty conflu

Asia tho same topogrephio character is found; the
Himalayas there taking the place of the European

In effect, these two central mountain systems
have been to the nations around them another
Tower of Babel, not only dividing them into dis
tinct nationalities, eaoh with Its own language,
habits, and interests, but constituting an insupera
ble barrier to anything like oommon union be
tween them. So unalterable,indeed, is this shown
to bo in history, that every effort afcpqlitidal amal
gamation has onlyrelapsed Into former incohe
rence. On the other hand, under the influence of
our own concave so to speak, tho ten
donoy to extinguish national distinctions is as
plainly revealed. Where, for example, has there
ever been a race of people as numerous and as
wldoly-soattered as tho Indians of North Amorioa,
in whioh there has existed as great an identity in
physical appeatanoe, stature ootuplexion, and lan
guage ? And what is, if anything, a still more
conclusive example of the tendenoy to homogono*
ousnesq in tki9 oountry—wo mean of the white
rooes—is the faot that the disti&otions between
English, Irish, German, and other European immi
grants, whose individuality at home has remained
unchanged for oenturioS, are here obliterated in b
single generation. Would it not seem, from this,
that the great question of Union now agitating
tho poople, depends for its solution more upon tho
ways and purposes of Him, who a by wisdom made
tho heavens, and strotohed out tho earth above tho
waters,” than upon the mad tbroatenings of exci

WASHINGTON COEEE3PONDENCE.
Letter from OccimonaL”
ICorreflpondenoe of The Press.]
Recent intelligence from South Carolina shows
that tho Disunionists have taken complete posses
sion of the Legislature of that State, and that every
representative of the Federal Government in
Oh&rleston is imbued with the strongest revolu
tionary feeling. It is now asserted that Juotioe
HoGrath, United States Judge for the District of
South Carolina, has resigned his position, and that
Mr. Coloook, well known as a fire-eating member
of tho Houso of Representatives a few years ago,
and the present collector of tho port—appointed
by Goneral Pierce—with tho United States mar
shal, will follow suit, so as to deprive tho President
of all power to execute the laws. This is not only
insurrootion, but revolution—not only secession
from the Union, but an organized defiance of tho
laws of tho United States.
Nearly thirty years ago, when ibis same South
Carolina arrayed herself against tho Gene
ral Government, and prepared to resist the man
dates of the President, Congress passed tho cele
brated force bill, whioh, by its terms, only applied
to th&t exigenoy, and expired with the settlement
of the difiionlly. It is now contended by somo of
the ablest jurists in this city that Mr. Buoh&n&n
onnnot enforce tho laws of the United States in
South Carolina unless there is an act of Congress
passed similar to that of the foroo hill; and those
who know the complexion of the present Congress
noed not be informed of the trouble and impossi
bility of pusaiug any bill conferring any suoh au
thority upon the Executive. If the Presidont
wore to convene an extra session, and to ask for
authority, it would not be given to him, and if
given by tho majority there would be another se
cession from the halls of the National Legislature,
precisely ns (bore was at Charleston and at Ball!
moro.
What, then, is td be done ? Is it possible that tho
American Govcrnmentpossesses no power toproteot
itself ? Are our laws to be violated and vitiated?
Are our magistrates to be insulted and defied
with impunity? If this theory is to prevail thoro
is, of courso, an end to free institutions on those
shores. Mr. Buohanan will throw up his hands
and announce his incapacity to protect the Ameri
can Government. Treason will thus be made re
spectable And triumphant. General Jaokson con
strued the Constitution in his own way, and the
people supported him. It Is true, be asked Con
greis to confer upon him plenary power to punish
all disobedience to the laws of tho United States j
but what would General Jaokson have done U
Congress bad refused to give him such power ?
Would he not have assumed it ? In other words,
would he not havo made have thrown
himself upon his cohntrymen? If the fearful
idea shall enoo prevail that any State of this Union,
upon whatever pretext, may secede and refuses te
obey the laws, and there is no power on the part
of the Executive to preserve the national compact,
where are we to land ? Talk as yeu may of the
despotism of conferring upon tbe> President tha
right to insist upon obedience to tbo-iawa, yet is
it not better that be should have supremo power Jo'
do this than that he should be helpless, and that
all our olvil rights shsuld be destroyed ?
It is a singular oomment upon the threats of the
firo-caters to leave the Union, on account ef the
election of Mr, Lincoln, that the very people whom
they expected to agsirt them have thrown an im
mense vote in favor of John Bell —the stune Johif
Bell who has been denounced by Mr. Yancey end
others as an Abolitionist almost as extreme as
Lincoln himself. The very people who aocuse Mr.
Lincoln of being identified with Mr Seward and his
doctrinos, turn about and support Mr Bell for the
Prosidenoy, who is charged by them with being in
sympathy with Mr. Linooln on certain important
questions. It looks now as if Maryland, Vir
ginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and
Louisiana, bad all pronounced in favor of 8011.
Even in Alabama, where Mr. Yancoy and his doc
trines were supposed to be supreme, the Douglas
element has been powerful, conquering Mobile
and other important points, and bad our friends
united with the friends of Bell in that
State, there Is no doubt that Mr. Brcok*
inridge and his party would have gone down.
Now, it is absurd to say that the Douglas and
Bell men of tho South sympathize with their
revilers I know that the oommon o&nt of the day
was to the effect that if Jvinooln elected, all
partlos in the South would unite to resist his inau
guration, and to punish the Northorn people for
oleoting him. But is it uot a reasonable and com
mon-sense view that they would not be likely to
unite m resisting the constitutional election of a
President with men who had been constantly and
daily traduolng and laughing at them ? There is
as muoh bitterness against tho Bell men, on the
part of the Breokinridge men in tho South, as there
is against the friends of Douglas and Lincoln in the
North.
No ; the Union party of tho slave States will be
composed of the frionds of Douglas and Bell, and
this organisation will extend into tha free States*
If Mr. Lincoln should ’trample upon the laws,
foolishly fulfilling tho predictions of his enemies,
the Demooratio party of tho Union will be com
posed of thoso who rallied undor the banner of the
Constitutional Union party, and under the standard
of the “Little Giant.” But I believe Mr. Lin
coln will not only be true to the Union, but that he
will disappoint all the apprehensions of bis foes,
I prophesy that he will give as much offence
to the violent men of his own organization
as Millard Fillmore did after the death of
Gen. Taylor. For, bear In mind that Millard Fill
more, living at Buffalo, and impregnated with the
strong anti-slavery sentiment of his State, had
written letter? that were called Abolition lettore—
lottera even roeiatanca to tho fa
gitivo-slavo law. And yet, wbon ho o&me into the
ohair that Washington, Madison, and Jaokson had
flllod, ho lost his sectionalism, and became a pa
triot, and the very men who had contributed to
his eleotion became his enemies, and thoso who
had opposed him his friends. Mere partisans con
tinued to assail ftp
ot posterity has bean reoo/ded in h(s behalf- Let
Abraham Lincoln romember that no man can bo
a ro-eleotod Chief Magistrate of tho United States.
.Therefore, let him tako tho responsibility In tho
Jackson spirit, and even if ho should' be deserted
by his own partisans, ho will havo tho approval of
his own oonsoienoo. Occasional

THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.
Important from Georgia*
SPECIAL MESSAGE OP GOVERNOR BROWN-—IIE DOES
HOT RECOMMEND THE APPOINTMENT OF DELE*
GATES TO TIIR SECESSION CONVENTION, BUT
ADVISES LAWS FOR THE STATE PROTECTION.
Millbdgeville. November 7.—Governor Brown
to-day sent a special message to the State Legis
lature.
, He thinks that but few States will meet the
bouthern Convention} and does not recommend tho
appointment of delegates from Georgia.
Bo thinks the constitutional rights of the peoplo
of Georgia have been violated by several non
slave-holdiDg States, to the extent of justifying, in
the judgment of all civilized nations, tho adoption
of any measures nooessary to the restoration and
futore protection of their rights.
lie refers to the patriotio spirit in the origin of
our government, and portrays the series of uncon
stitutional and unfriendly aots committed by sister
States. He subsequently i 3 pointedly severe on
tho M&ssachasotts laws, saying if the laws of Mas
sachusetts cause the plunder of the property of
Georgia, tho citizens of Massachusetts must be
compelled to compensate them, he advises a sys
tem of reprisals, and says, “let us meet unjest
aggression and unconstitutional State legislation
with just retaliation.”
He recommends the enactment of laws autho
rizing the seizing of sooh an amdtint of the money
or property of any oitizen of such offending and
faithless State as will indemnify the lossoa of the
citizens of Georgia He recommends legislation to
drive the mnnutactured articles of such offending
States from Georgia He says that Georgia has
the right, es soon as Northern goods are brought
to Georgia, to tax as she deems proper. lie ad
vises a law taxing all goods and merchandise 25
per centum, introduced after \ho Ist of January,
which are' manufactured in, or brought from,
Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan Maine, Rhode
Island, New York, Wisconsin, or other unfriendly
States—the tax to bo romitted when such un
friendly legislation is reponlod.
Shoald such legislation prove inoffdclual, he
would recommend the repeal of all parti of the
penal and civil code protecting the lives, liber
ties, and properties of th/s citizens of the States
where such unfriendly laws exist.
He says: “In my opinion, the tithe for bold and
decided action has arrived, and he would be un
worthy the confidence of tho people of Georgia
who refases to vindicate her honor, and at any
ooat maintain her constitutional rights at every
hazard.”
He believes the legislation he has recommended
will t»nd to- strengthen rather than weaken the
ties of the Union of fctates It will destroy the
sectional controversy and narrow the issue to a
contest between individual States.
He says if tho Legislature fails to onaot the laws
ho recommends, the people should rise in tholr
might and at the ballot-box demand their enact
ment.
The Governor entertains no doubt of tho right of
each State to decide to act lor herself, but so long
as all the States abido. in good faith, to their con
stitutional obligations, no btate can withdraw from
tho Uoion without boiDg guilty of bad faith to the
others. Any violation of the compact relieves all
parties. Tho right of secession for cause Is only
denied by tho. a e who deny the sovereignty of
States,
The message occupies twonly-two closely-prioted
octavo pages. It contains a full reviow of often*
sivo Northern legislation, and concludes thus :
For tho purpose of putting the State in a defen
sive condition as fast as possible, and preparing for
the emergency which must sooner or later bo met,he
recommends that the sum ot a million of dollars bo
immediately appropriated as a military fund for
tho ensuing year, and that prompt provision bo
made for the raising of suob portion of tho money
as may not be in tbo treasury, a 3 fast as the publio
expenditures rcqulro. “ Millions for defence, not
one cent for tribute ” shonld be tbo future motto of*
tho Southern States. To every demand for further
concossion or the compromise of our lights we
should reply : “ Tho nrgumont is exhausted, and
we now stand on our arms.”

The PrOFKSSOB3HIP OP G HUMAN IN THE
Oektbal Hioh School—Examination op appm
cants.—On Friday lest, an examination took nlaoo
at tho Central High- School, for a professor oT the
department of the German language, to fill a va*
oanoyoaueed by tbo late removal of fiomain t u
jeane. A committee of gentlemen, versed in Ger
man, supervised the examination, as follows •
Rev Dr. Mann, Dr. 0. Herring, Wm L Keder-
Hn, Dr. Keller, Rev. Dr Furness, Dr. Mac Ewen,
and Rev. Dr. Berir. There wereoriginally nineteen
applicants, five of whom declined an examination
They were examined orally and In writing. Tbo
examination ocoupicd an entire day and evening,
from 9 A. M. to OP. M The oity furnished nei
ther dinner nor supper to the parties, probably
under the supposition that an empty stomaoh fa
thered a quick wit.
Ihe written examination comprised twelveques
tmns upon tho principles of the German language
and letters, an exeroiee in punctuation, definitions

Four of the applicants were Americans, the re
mainder Germans. The oral and written exami
nations demonstrated tho inefficiency of all but
threo, viz : Messrs. Angelo, Lidensteker, and
Lokhaidt. These are all Germans.. Two of them
have been tcaohersof their native tongue for many
yoars On Wednesloy they underwent an exami
nation in discipline, mode of teaching, eltT Fif
teonof tho students in Division E, who had been
the recipient of a year’s tuition in the. language,
wore examined by eaoh applicant severally &
gross ignorance of the German was manifested on
the part of all these young men. The committee ;
expressed aurpnso that so much of time devoted to
its acquisition should exhibit .so little of aotual
knowledge. Tho lads had received not less than
ono hundred and twenty lessons, yet some of them
faltered in the questions on the first principles of
the German. Tho committee will be able to re
port in a few days. As the examination has been
conducted, partiality of choice will be out of the
question. The moral and profoufonal antecedents
of tho applicants have been inquired into and
doubtless the now professor will reflect credit upon
the institution and the department. 1

This fact, in connection with a hesitation on tho
part of the managers to appeal to tho publio
through tho papers, if they oan possibly strag

been asked whetbej tho United States Sunnaaei
Court will pal adjudicate the pending Territorial*
quegltofiw-ihAt is, the right of the Territorial Le
gislature to exclude Blavery. In tho i>r«d fioott
oase, the Chief Justice gave his opinion to thfe
efieot that the Teriitory, as a'creature
oould not do what Congress, could not do. Hut <u
case has arisen •y.’hitk mill bring that par*
ticular quistiow directly before the Court for
decision. It will involve the distinct qoea
, tion of the right of a Territory to exmsdi.

that the Territory cannot exercise thia power in a.
particular case, the Territorial authorities must
bound by it; and if in any oaso the ptoceseeii ©p
the court should bo resisted, the United States,
marshal be supported to any extent by the,
Executive of the United States. The case which If
Prefer to is to come from Kansas. The Territorial)
question may perhaps thus be settled by the ad-.
mission of Kansas, and by the expected decision o&
the Supreme Courts
