To A " n'' rf R,PeOTUUT xh
United 8u t
r deem it my doty to submit to Centres
series of resolutions adopted by the Legis
latere of VirRiol oo the 19th Instant, having
io vis peaceful settlement of the f listing
questions which now threaten the Union.
They were delivered to me on Thursday, the
24th Inst., by K President Tyler, who has
left his dignified and honored retirement in
the hope that he muy render service to his
country in tbis its hour of peril. These reso
lutions, it will be perceived, extend en Invite,
tion to all each States, whether elaveholdinff
or non slaveholdiog, as we are willing to
unite with Virginia in an enrnest effort to
ndjnst the present unhappy controvereaties
in the spirit in which the Constitution was
orin'inilly formed, and consistently with its
principles, so as to afford to the people of
the slaveholdicfl States adequate guarantees
for the security of thi-ir rights, to appoint
commissioners, to meet on the 4th rloy of
lVhnsry next, io the eity of Washington,
similar commissioners eppoioted by Virginia,
tu consider, and, if practible, agree upon some
suitable adjustment. 1 confess 1 hafl this
tbis movement on the part of Virginia with
Kret satisfaction. From the past history of
this ancient and renowned commonwealth we
have the fullest assurance that wbtt she has
undertaken she will accomtnplish, if it can be
done by able, enlightened and persevering
ilTurts. It is highly gratifying to know that
other patriotic States have appointed, snd
lire appointing commissioners, to meet those
or Virginia in council. When assembled,
they will ennstitutu a body entitled, in nn
eminent clearee. to the confidence of the
country. The (Jeneral Assembly of Virginia
have iilsn resolved that ex-President J orbit
Tyler is hereby appointed, by the concurrent
vote of each branch of the General Assem
bly, a commissioner to the President of the
l.'nited States, and Judge John Ilohison is
lierebv appointed by a like vote, a commis
tvoncr to the State of South Carolina and the
other States that have seceeded, or shall
secede, with instructions respectfully to re.
quest the President of the United States and
the authorities of such States to agree to
abstain, pending the proceedings contempla
ted by the action of this General Assembly,
from uny nnd all acts calculated to produce
n collision of urms between the Stales ami
the government of the United Stales.
However strong may be my desire to' enter
into such an agreement, I am convinced
that ! do not possess the power. Congress,
and Congress olone, under the war making
p.iwer, can exercise the discretion of enree
me to abstain from any and all acts calcula
ted to produce a collision of arms between
this or any other government. It would
therefore, he a nrsurpation for the executive
to attempt to restrain their hands by an
agreement ituejsard to 'matter over which
I. e has no constitutional control. If he were
thus to net they might pass laws which he
should be bound to obey, though in conflict
with bis agreement.
Under existing circumstances, my present
actual power is confined within narrow
limits. It is my doty at all times to defend
nnd protect the public property within the
seceding States, so far 09 this may bo practi
cable, and especially to employ the constitu
tional means to protect the property or the
l.'uited States, and to preserve the public
pease at this the seat of the Federal govern
ment. If the secedng States abstain from
ny all acts calculated to produce a colli
sion of arms, then the danger so much to be
ileprecnted will no longer exiBt. Defence,
nnd not airgression has been the policy of
the Administration from the beginning
Hut whilst I can enter into no engogement
Fiich as that proposed. I cordially commend
to Congress, with much confidence that it
will meet their approbation, to abstain from
pasting any Ibw calculated to produce a col
lis'n.n of arms, pending the proceedings con
tenplated by the action of the (Jenprul
Assembly of Virginia, I am one of those who
will never despair or the Kepublie. 1 yet
ch-rish the belief that the American people
wi:l perpetuate tho Union of the States on
some terms just and honorable for all sections
i.f the country. I trust tbot the mediation
of Virginia may be the destined means under
Providence of accomplishing thin iiiestima
bin benefit. Glorious as are the memories of
her past history, such an achievement, both
in relation to her own fate and the welfare of
thu whale conntry. w-mld surpass them all.
JAMKS BUCHANAN.
A Man Kim.kd by a I-io.n at Asti.ky's
'I iikatrk. A Thrilling Scene. On the 7th
inst.. all the lionj at Astley's Koyal Amphi
theater, in l.tindon, and owned by Mr. Crock
en. escaped from their den. The London
'Aries says :
Several men who were at work in the build
ing were stat tied by the loud roaring of the
lions, and in a few minutes they were horror
struck at beholding one of the lions strut?
tiling with a man named Jarvey, a yard
helper in the establishment. Oo the arrival
hs Mr. Crockett he rushed on the stage,
lier th lion waa running about with the
iiiifurtoDale man Jarvey io his mouth, to H
uppoarance quite dead. Mr. Crockett in
stantly seized a stable fork add dealt the lion
h heavy blow on the side of the head, which
caused it to lt the man go ; but instead of
running away, be tornod rouud, uud seemed
inclined to spring upon his master. Another
powerful blow, however made the enraged
animal luru, and run away. Medieal aid was
immediately brought for poor Jarvey, but on
the arrival of the surgeou, life was found to
bo extinct. After the body of Jarvey had
been removed Mr. Crockett went in search
of the lions, who were now roaming about
the theatre. One was seen running at a re
mote corner of the alage, another was in the
urena, and the other could not be seen.
The lioness was the. first that was attempt
ed to be secuted, hut this was a work of ex
treme danger and difficulty, os the assistants
were all afraid of even approaching the beast.
OnseeiugMr. Crockett, the lioness made a
dash through the pit saloon, whence she
rushed up tbn box stair case and entered one
of the private boxes, and took op a most
threatening attitude.
Nothing daunted, Mr. Crockett entered
the box, placed a leathern collar around her
neck and having secured her head, she was
hauled out of the place by ropes, and finally
placed in security. From tbe private box
Mr. Crockett saw another of the animals
playing on the stage with quantity of rib
bons and stage properties, and, with compa
ratively littla difficulty, it was placed again
in tbe cage and, after a few minutes search,
the third was recaptured. At half past seven
yesterday morning, tbe watchman of tbe
theatre, wbo la oo doty all night, left, at
which boor, be ssyr, ell waa perfectly quiet
ud safe. In consequence of tbe large lion
being onwell, it had been parted from its
companions, and, it is supposed, that in en
deavoring to join it, one of tbe three lions in
the other compartment of tbe cage must bave
broken down the partitioo and thus displaced
iba iron ban. The greatest excitement and
consternation prevailed for some time In the
theatre, and it required Mr. Corkett'a ut
most perstiation to convince the attendants
that no further danger need be apprehended.
Dki-iuudlt KxrBKssivc. A correspondent

aK ETCH OF MR. KTIICRtDOE't REMARK.
Mr. EllirrMge. of Tennessee, laid if a jury
of twelve honest men could be' sworn to try
tbe issue joined between the two contending
factions, and bi longing to no political party,
with nn motive bat to subserve the country,
he conld submit the case to them without
argument, and have a unanimous verdict. But
anfortunately a disinterested jury cannot be
procured, and tbe people are silly ennogh to
appeal to this tribunal for peace. There are
two hundred end thirty-six members of the
House, but an eqisl number of es wise men
can bo found in any Congressional district in
the country, and yet w are told that because
this Congress, elected wllhnnt reference to
the present issues, will not Instantly stoy the
tide of revolotion, therefore there is no nope
for a free people.
He proceeded to show the the madness and
folly of subverting the government to secure
any right without, that may not be enjoyed
in the Union. Tbe personal liberty bills are
not without excuse, hut it was due to the
truth to express his belief that they would bn
soon swept from the statute books, and, if
unconstitutional, they are already null and
void. If constitutional, there is no right to
complain. As to the fugitive slave law, from
the commencement or the present century till
now not one dozen slaves nave been rescued
from the State authorities. Why, Mr. Orr
himseir.of l he kingdom of Carolina f laughter
said it was strong ns anybody wished to make
it. and would the I ugitive (Slave law be any
more stringent, and the people more willing
to execute it out of than the Union? The
northern people have always, and will ever
bn opposed to slavery, and you can mailt- no
man in the north n pro slaverv man. The
strougest slavery men in the south are Yan
kees, and they no sooner go south than they
marry a negro. I Laughter.) He begged
pardon, they marry a woman with negroes,
and then they commence to talk about the
rights or slaveholders. There wos not a man
iu this body who claims to bo an abolitionist.
As on evulenco of his disposition Tor peace
he would submit eight veurs longer to the
Administration of President lluchanan.
I Laiightrr.l He would assent to anything
to the Crittenden, or the Horder States'
Compromise, or the resolutions which he had
himself sought to introduce here. He would
go for the recommendation of the Select
Committee of Thirty-three, before he wonld
go nut of the Union. Failing in this, he
would meet the disunion!! with a torch in
one hand and sword in tho other: nnd so
long as the stars nnd stripes wove over Ten.
nessee, he wonld never snbmit to disunion.
ApplnnseJ He proceeded to show that
everv sluve act or Congress which has excited
public notice and discussion has been dictated
hy Southern statemen, or advocated by them.
In every instance whore southern statesmen
demanded concession and guarantees, the
north has been yielding everything that was
demanded, though it might be reluctantly.
He referred to tho acquisition or Louisiana
nnd Florida a Tew years ago. In 1819 before
ha lived even the clamor was so great thut
tho Federal Government had to purchase
that territory, because the peninsula must
not bn in tho hands of a foreign power. I
cost five millions originally, and fifty millions
mora werespenltn suppress I hostilities and
millions more to build fortifications guard
our commerce. After all, Florida, with not
half ns many people therein as were in his
district which can't master enough men to
destroy her alligators assume to separnte
from ber sisters. She walks out ef the Union
not only with our fortifications and public
lands. That is not the worst. She leaves
nn prestige of the nnity of the States. Why
Florida cannot protect herself from alligators
without tho Federal government. Laughter
Mr. Ktheridgn said it was known that the
peopltt of the South are liko a tempest. Tney
were insane, and in the language of Scripture
be would answer them as he would a fool,
"according to their folly." If the people or
one section are misled, in the name of Heaven
would it bo just to any that those of the
other section should not do what is right to
disabuse their minds. In the course of his
remarks, he read en article from the Mont
gomery Mail, in which tho editor says that
the policy of tho Republicans is to turn the
negroes loose and compel them to inter-marry
with the poor whites, etc. Was it not true
that Riteit had alleged that Mr. Hamlin was
a mulatto? And did not Memininger an
nounce on the Pine hills, to persons high and
low degree, including "philosophers" end
"short boys," that Mr. Hamlin was really a
mulatto ?
It is well known that throughout tbe South
where the disunion sentiment predominates,
there exists a reign of terror. While tbe
conventions are in session in Charleston,
Montgomery and elsewhere; while men are
deliberrting on the fate of an empire, the
military are being drilled.
Mr. Leake, of Virginia wanted to know
where the gentleman stood, by tbe nortb or
south T
Mr. Ftheridge I speak on the side which
has but few representatives am tpealing
fur my country. Applause A flor alluding
to the tearrul condition or alTairs in the Sooth
and the alarm which tbe military movements
occasion, ne sain nn would vote Tor any pro'
position that could for a moment relieve (tie
public mind. I will, he added, return to
Tennessee to resist the wave of disunion. If
tbn worst ciroes to tbe worst, and I sbonld
be dragged th the fearful precipice and made
on unwilling observer of my country's. ruin, I
will wash my bands of the same and crime
which will attach to those who would over
throw the public liberty and make our coun
try a despotism. 1 will cling to the flag of
my country in tbis darkesr hour of her peril,
and cling to it as tbe saint would cling to bis

Dr. Winsihp Outdone Dr. Winship,
the celebrated Massachusetts uthlele, who'
was asserted to be the "strongest man in the
world," has met a superior in the person of
William Thompson, wbo is connected with
the Chicago Gymnasium. Tbe test of
strength occurred iu tbat city one duy last
week, at a gymnastic tonrnamuut, at which
Dr. W inship performed his great muscular
teat of lifting uine kegs of nails, weighing
1000 pounds, and raising, with tbe aid of
barnets ou his shoulders, 1517 pounds. He
was succeeded by Thompson, wbo commenc
ing with tbe last lift of the Doctor, then went
on adding weights aud lifting, with harness
on shoulders sr.d hips, until the number stood
successively 1536, 1G3G, 175G, 183C, 1036,

pounds. Another competiog gymnastic,
named Cnrtis, "pushed" first 130 pounds,
and then 150 ponnds in each baud wilb tbe
pulley, and lying down upon his back, put op
110 pounds in each band. Hut tbe feat of
the evening was tbe great lift of Thompson,
and tbe judges so considered it in tbe award
of tbe '.'00 prize to bitn.
Orders from tuk South. Tbe Boston
Journal states that orders continue to be re
ceived in Lyon from prominent merchants of
uoarieston, a. u aud Augusta, Ga., for
goods upon tbe old terms, six months' credit.
Last week a prominent dealer received orders
for aboea from a Cbarlrsloo firm, wbo, like
bit brother merchants io Georgia, said not a
word aboot secession, tbe dissolution of the
Union and civil war- Tbe manufacturer very
naturally returned no answer to the effect
that ir tbe cash, or its equivalent in a reepon
sible draft was lent, tbe goods would be ship

I NATtnATioH of thr Mtssisstrrt. Tbe New
York Timet says : "There is great excite
ment at the West consequent on the ereo
tion at Vicksbarg, by the Governor of Mis
sissippi, of batteries commanding tbe pas
sage of the Mississippi river at tbat point,
wan orners lor the detention end examine'
tion of aft Northern vessels. This hich band
ed proceeding is an outrage oo Western rights
wnicn win arouse universal indignation np
me river, and be likely to provoke a signal
chastisement. Tbe Western people regard
the free navigation of the Mississippi as an
indefeasible right bestowed on them by the
God of nature, and they will never brook its
Interruption. If the federal government will
protect them in this right, the? wonld doubt
less prefer protection by its authority ; but if
me government should rail to act, they would
wrest tne mouths or that noble river rrom
hostile occupation by their own valor, and on
tneir own responsibility.
"If the South provokes a contest of this
kind, it will have its hands full. Our West.
em popolation, originally like all emigrants of
an aaventuroos spirit, nnd nurtured by fron
tier life, are the hardiest and bravest in the
world. The boatmen on the Mississippi, in
particular, srn the most daring navigators
inai ever trod the deck o; a steamer, as Is
attested by their racing on that snag beset
stream, by the frequent boiler explosions,
collisions, sinking of vessels and the whole
sale destruction of lite and property which
make river steamboats a terror to under
writers. An army of Western pioneers, with
a strong infusion of those dare-devils and
the Mississippi boatmen are themselves an
army would be, by all odds, the uglist
customer the Southern rebels could deal with.
And the upper valley of the Mississippi is as
formidable by its numbers as hy tbe charac
ter on its population. It could pour soldiers
down the river like en inundation, which
would sweep and lay waste all before it.
