How the President is Elected.
Tbe successive steps in tbe election of
President and Vice President of tbo U
nited States are taking according to exis
ting laws, at tbe following dates :
1. By tbe aet of Congress in 1843, the
Elector for President and Vice Presi
dent of tbe United States are appointed
in eaob State on tbe Tuesday next after
tho first Monday in Novomber.
2. By the act of 1792 tbeso Electors
are to meet on the first Wednesday in
December after, in their respective States
to cast their votes.
3. Tbeso votes, when cast, are to be
certified by the Electors and sealed up
and sent to tbe President of tbe Senate.
4. On the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary after, the soaled certificates of the
Electors are to be broken open and the

They evidently thought that a sovereign

which should be of perpetuul obligation.
There is, however, a striking difference
iu tbe authority by which tbe Articles of

on the authority of the State Legislatures,
acting through their Delogates in Con

There never was a course of action a

than that which they have now taken.
They will not buy sight drafts on cotton
because Lincoln is eh-oted President.
No one will take South Carolina bank
notes, and tbe consequence is that thi-
depresi-ion of trade is ruinous. It is dif-
ready quite a large' correponcence with

It is a sugqestivo circumstance that tho
famou South Cnrolina Nullification or
dinance of 1832 followed, like the present
-ecession movements, immediately upon a
Pre-id.-utia! election. It was adopted on
ihe 24th of November, within a fortnight
after tbe re-election of Gen. Jackson, by
a Con-ention called for that purpose, by
an aet ol the Legislature passed at a spe

A correspondent of The Galveston News
writing from Independence, Texas, Octo
ber 21, gives the following sketch of a
speech delivered there by Gov. Houston :
In regard to tho recent raid and in
cendiarisln in Texas, ho said it had been
exagerated and misrepresented by tbe
letters of ''that man Pryor of Dallas, '
tbe brother, bo said, of Roger A. Pryor,
of V irgiuia, who bad some time since sent
a certain oballenge. The fact was, that
there bad been one white man bune in
m - ... O
lexss tor incendiarism Herndon of
Henderson, and two negroes; and there
never bad been a vial or bottlo of poison
found in tbe possession of any other ne
groes in this State thus intimating very
clearly that the other who were punished
were unjustly punished.
As to the house-burning, it had bGcn
reportea at one time tbat there wore
fourteen houses burned in tho City of
Austin, when, in fact, there was only a
banty or shed in the outskirts of the city
burued; and he aocouuted for the burn
ing of that by the carelessness of tbe
Dutch, who were lounging and smoking
there at the lime.

nection with tbe people of the other States,
they would forthwith proceed to organize
a sepcratu Government aud to assume en

This ordinance reached Washington
simultaneously with the meeting of Con
gress. The President briefly alluded to
it in bis annual message, promising a pe
oial message, should tho persistence of
South Carolina-render it necessary to ap
peal to Congress for additional powers.
Meauwhilo, on tbe 10th of December bo
issued his famous proclamation, in which
he argued tbe question with the Nullifier
on Constitutional grounds; adjured the
people of South Carolina not to be led by
demagogues to tbeir destruction; held
out a modification of the tariff as the prob
able result of the approaching extinguish
ment of the publio debt, and expressed
his determination toexecuto thelawSjand
to sustain tbe Union.
This proclamation did not seem to pro
duce much effect on the uullifiers. Tbo
South Carolina Legislature proceeded to
pa-s acts to carry the ordiuanco iuto ef

of 10,000 voluuteers, and provide ail'ita-

presented themselves at Jackson's houso.

both men. women and sh.ildren participa

gave out, and then closed in with axes,
knives and gun-barrels. Durjng the
shooting, a sou of Jack-on, a mere boy,
wbs killed by (it is thought) a son of Da
