Ingratitude and Treason.
The course of Mr. Hawkins, of Florida,
in declaring that he would not act on a
committee the purpose of which is to re
store fraternal relations between the two
sections, shows him to be a traitor at
heart, and bent on the destruction of the
Union. The St. Louis Democrat, com
menting upon the course of Hawkins and
his confederates, says, "the impossibility
of reconciling the Secessionists to the Union ,
is a proposition that may be safely as
mimed. No concessions which the North
can make will satisfy them. All their
schemes and projects are based on a dis
solution of the Union. If there be a
Representative in Congress who should I
feel reluctant to avow himself a Disunion
ist, it is the representative of Florida.—
That State was bought by the Federal
Government, and paid for out of the Fed
eral Treasury. The cost of her Indian
wars to the nation is something that would
stagger belief, so enormous is the sum.
Florida has grown to be what she is, and
that is not much, on federal pap. After
she was admitted into the Union, she was
unable to protect herself from a handful
of Indians. The Federal Government had
to fight her battles, and at the same time
defray all the expenses. Her secession
from the Union will be a flagrant case of
an absconding debtor, and as great an act
of meanness as that of a nigger who should
run away from a generous master whom
be had entreated to buy him. The pride
of the South is 'a string that is harped
upon continually, but in the case of Flori
da it is the bitterest irony. The mass of
the natives aro the immediate descendants
of Majorcans or Minorcans—we forget
which—who were brought from that island
to the American peninsula by an English
man, the same as Coolies are now brought
to the West Indies. The imported immi
grants struck--4roke their contract with
the. Englishman—refusing to work for
him as they had stipulated—as soon as
they found they could do so with impuni
ty, and their history ever since is in keep
ing with that memorable proceeding.—
They should also be the last to complain
of Personal Liberty Bills, for under their
primitive organic law they were persons
held to labor, and they discharged them
selves from the obligation by a Personal
Liberty Bill administered by Judge
Lynch. Yet we are told that Florida will
be degraded if she remains in the Union
any longer ! Is she willing to pay back
all that has been expended on her ? She
would:be to this day a howling wilderness
for the most part, if she had not been ad
mitted to the Union, and it is very proba
ble she will relapse into her original con
dition after she goes out, for her white
population is less than that of Kansas.
The grievances of Florida, forsooth We
grant she has one strong cause for disu
nion —the multiplicity and magnitude of
the benefits of which she has been the
recipient. She never paid a debt, and
the debt of gratitude which she owes the
Federal Government is so great that she
takes refuge in repudiation. That is al
ways the way with the little-minded, who
hate those who greatly favor them as well
as those whom they injure. Mendicancy
and repudiation mark every page of Flori
da's history, and it is to be.-regretted that
the ingrate was ever permitted to merge
fromiher territorial condition, or that the
much talked of ship canal from the Gulf
to the Atlantic, which would cut off the
peninsula from the main land, has not
been dug. We trust the Republican mem
bers of Congress will take Mr. Hawkins'
declaration at its advertised value, and
abandon at once the hopeless task of con•
ciliating the secession States. If there is
to be a readjustment and compromise, let
the Union slave States only be considered,
for they are the only States that have the
slightest cause of complaint. Their griev
ances, we presume, are all summed up in
the difficulty which masters experience in
re-capturing their fugitive slaves. The
radical remedy fbr that, we are convinced,
is the substitution of the indemnity prin
ciple for the extradition principle in the
Constitution itself."
jilt:MOE TO THE NORTH.—While the
Southern States are demanding a repeal
of the Northern "Personal Liberty bills," .
and Northern conservatives evince a will
ingness to acoede to their demands, the
Freemen of the North—the great body
of the people—will require the enactment
and enforcement by the Southern States,
of such lima aswill fully protect our citi
zens when traveling through, or sojourn
ing in, those States. They will require.
tne repeal of all laws imprisoning our sea
men when they arrive at Southern ports,
all laws preventing the circulation of
Northern newspapers, and they will de
mand that full freedom of speech and of the
press be guaranteed. We are willing to
do the South justice, but we ask a little
of that commodity for our people in re
turn—nothing more.
John M. Botts on the Union.
This distinguished Virginian has writ
ten a very able letter on the present con
dition of political affairs. He says that
secession is "plain, bold, daring, flat-foot
ed rebellion against and treason to the
rest of the States," and those who engage
in it will have to be dealt with as rebels
and traitors—that he has no desire to dan
gle at the end of a rope as a traitor—and
if South Carolina chooses to run a tilt
against Uncle Sam, she is welcome to try
it. She will still be a State of the Union,
in a state of rebellion, and Mr. Botts has
not a shadow of a doubt either of the
right, or the power, to control her. The
only question would be—se it worth while?
He scouts the right of secession, and on
this point says:
"When should we be safe in declaring war for
the defence of our honor, or our rights, or for
the protection of our people, if in the midst of
the war, the Union should be dissolved, and the
government destroyed, whenever some one of
the States might be disappointed in the election
of her favorite candidate for the Presidency, or
because her interest would be promoted by do
ing so, or because it would enhance the price of cotton
to Ten a direct trade with the enemy What govern
ment on earth would thereafter treat with us,
as one of the Nations of the world ? or treat us
with respect ? One of the inconceivable and ir
reconcilable things of this world, to my mind, is
that an idea of such unmixed and unmitigated
nonesence and absurdity as that of the right of
a State to secede at pleasure, should ever have
obtained a place in the mind of any man who
was not an absolute lunatic."
Fire Eating Epistle from Mississippi.
The "Bulletin" is permitted to publish the
subjoined letter, received yesterday, by a promi
nent mercantile house in that city, fibm a party
in one of the largest cities in Mississippi :
DEAR Sra :—There is great excitement here
now, and Abolitionists are hung as fast as
caught. Blue cockades all the go.. Old Miss.
will leave this Folluted Union in two weeks.—
Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida, will go with her and South Caro
lina. We rescued a man here yesterday from
the clutches of- an Indiana Sheriff, as we don't
intend to allow any one to take a person from
here for trial in a Northern State. Two steam
boats were ordered to travel up country, day
before yesterday, for having captains on board
who voted for ABE, and as they pass here we
intend to give them a taste of "pitch and
down." Mississippi will vote on 20th for se
cession by 25,000 majority. The next letter
you get from me will be from a foreign country
to the Confederacy of Columbia. Tell
if we catch a Wide Awake down here, the
Minute Men will make him wish himself in
Dixie. Don't you think Abe had better resign,
and let Mr. William L. Yancey take his place?
Yours truly, 0 n ct
Who . Shall Pay the Piper?
The secession of the cotton States, which is
now spoken of at Washington by the fire-eaters
as a fixed fact, holds out a prospect of taxes to
the people of these States by no means envia
ble. As a small sample, we quote from the
last annual report of the Postmaster General,
the receipts and expenditures during the year
for the postal service in each :
States. Receipts. Expenditures. Deficit
South Carolina, $107,536 $319,063 8217,523
Georgia, 168,665 858 180 189,515
Florida, 25,902 171,185 145,253
Alabama, 129,103 363,620 234,520
Mississippi, 101,549 819,001 286,445
$532,784 $1,581,068 $1,049,281
This is but a single department of the gov
erment. Not one of these States pays as much
revenue on importations into tbeTreasury as it
costs to collect it. Of course if free trade were
established in the cotton republic, the revenue
from duties on imports Would be cut off, and
the post-office yielding nothing, there would be
no other resource than direct taxation. Flori
day and Texas have each cost the government
well nigh , a hundred millions to acquire and de
fend them, and for a long series of years the
postal and customhouse expenses of all these
States have been a dead drag on the national
Treasury. Yet the fire eaters who , talk of a
separate government of their own, want it to
be a strong one, supported by an expensive ar
my. How they expect to pay the cost is a
mystery.—North American.
THE. QUARREL BETWEEN THE GEORGIA LEGISLA
TURE AND 'GOVERNOR BROWN.—The quarrel be
tween the Legislature of Georgia and Governor
Brown, of that State, in consequence of the
latter, as is alleged, having charged the mem
bers with having been bribed to pass the Bank
suspension act, " still goes on.' As already
stated, the House of Assembly has passed a
vote of censure on the Governor. The latter
has responded that his language was directed
against "lobby influence, which he considers
the most growing and dangerous evil in our
legislation," and against the resolutions of
censure be enters his solemn protest, " because
they were conceived in passion, prompted by
a spirit of personal revenge, and not of public
duty—undignified in their bearing, untrue in
their statements, and unjust in the assault
which they wake upon a co-ordinate branch of
the government." And in conclusion, the
Governor remarks that, "should any member
of the House feel conscious of guilt, and persist
in applying to himself a chargeOf bribery or
dishonesty, he has no wish to become his pub
lic prosecutor • but deems his punishment in
deed severe, when left to himself, to be lashed
and tormented by the goadings of a guilty
conscience."
A TREATRICAL 'UNION DEMONSTRATION. —The
New York "Times" says, of a representation
of the character of Richelieu by Mr. Booth, in
that city:—
It was curious to notice how every passage of
the play which bore upon the love of country,
loyalty, patriotism, told upon the feelings of
the audience. Especially was this manifest in
that memorable passage, when, trying to lift
the huge two handled sword, with which, in
his youth, he clove "an Englisher to the waist,"
the Cardinal found he could not even raise it
now in his old age, and causing it t) be laid
aside,. tottered to his chair, and grasping a pen,
exclaimed
"The pen is mightier than the sword.
Take away the sword—
States can be saved without it."
For some minutes after the delivery of these
words the progress of the play was stopped by
the cheers upon cheers, loud, long and repeated,
which arose from all parts of the house.

HOSTILE TO THE SKIM
The grand Union meeting assembled at noon,
in Independence Square. The proceedings
were opened with devout prayer by. Bishop
Porran. Mayor HENRY presided, assisted by a
large number of Vice Presidents and Secreta
ries, their names comprising a large number of
our most wealthy and influential citizens The
following resolutions were read and adopted
WHEREAS, The people of the city of Philadel
phia having assembled in cheerful obedience to
the proclamation of the Mayor, issued by re
quest of their Councils, for the purpose or tea
tifyng their love for the Union and their devo
tion to its perpetuation, and to the strengthen
ing of those bonds which hold us together,
whether of the north or the south, the east or
the west, as one great and united people, do
Resolve, That with one voice and united
we proclaim our attachment to and reverence
for the Constitution of the United States, and
our earnest and endearing love for that great
Union which it creates and protects—a love
which is not sectional but national, and that
greets our brother, from whatever State he
comes, as a partaker with us in that noblest of
all inheritance, the title of a citizen of the
United States.
Resolved, That the usefulness and the endur
ance of the Union both depend upon a faithful'
observance, by the people of all the States, of
all the requirements of that sacred instrument
which the wisdom and the patriotism of our
fathers framed, and under whose provisions we
have•become a great and happy people, prosper
ous and renowned among the nations of the
earth.
Resolved, That we do therefore more deeply
deplore the fact that some of the States of this
Union have placed upon their statute books en
actments which evade or defeat provisions
which the framers of the Constitution wisely in
serted for the protection of the valuable rights
of citizens of other States, and that we pro
nounce all such acts to be violations of the sol
emn compact by which we are made one people,
and that we earnestly appeal to our brethren of
those States instantly to repeal all suoh enact
ments. •
Resolved, That the people of Philadelphia here
by pledge themselves to their brethren of the
Other States that the qatute.books of Pennsyl
vania shall be carefully searched by their Rep
resentatives at the approaching session 'of the
Legislature ; and that every statute,. if _any
such there be, which in the least degree in
vades the Constitutional rights of citizens of a
sister State, will be at once repealed; and that
Pennsylvania, ever loyal to the Union and lib
eral in construing her obligations fa it, 444 . 11
be faithful always in her obedience"to its re
quirements.
Resolved, That we recognize the obligations
of the act of Congress of 1850,commonly known
as the Fugitive Slave law, and- submit cheer
fully to its faithful enforcement ; and that we
point with pride and satisfaction to the recent
conviction and punishment, in this city, of
those who had broken its provisions by aiding
in the attempted rescue of a slave, as proof that
Philadelphia is faithful in her obedience to the
law ; and furthermore, that we recommend to
the Legislature of our own State the passage of
a law which shall give compensation, iu case of
the ieseue of a captured slave, by the county in
which such reseue occurs, precisely as is now
done by existing laws in prise of destruction of
property by the violence of mobs.
Resolved, That as to the question of the recog
nition of slaves as property, and as to the ques
tion of the rights of slave owners in the Terri
tories of the United States, the people of Phila
delphia submit themselves obediently and
cheerfully to the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States, whether now macre, or
hereafter to be made, and .they pledge them
selves faithfully to observe the Constitution in
these respects as the same has been or may be
expounded by that august tribunal ; and fur
ther, they recommend that whatever points
of doubt exist touching these subjects be done
in an amicable and lawful way, forthwith sub
mitted to the consideration of said Court, and
its opinion be accepted as the final and authori
tative solution of all doubts as to the meaning
of the Constitution in controverted points. -
Resolved, That all denunciations of slavery as
existing in the United States, and of our fel
low-citizens who maintain that institution and
who hold slaves under it, are inconsistent with
that spirit of brotherhood and kindness which
ought to animate all who live under and pro-'
fess to support the Constitution of the Ameri
can Union.
Resolved, That we candidly approve 'the sug
gestion that a Convention or , Congress
.of dele
gates from the States contemplating ecession
be held for the purpose of consultation Upon
the cause that induced them to meditate such
a step, and of suggesting such remedies as they
would propose, and that it is the firm convic
tion of the citizens of Philadelphia that the
propositions made by such Convention would
be received by the people of the other States
in a fraternal and conciliatory spirit and with
an earnest desire to remove all grounds of just
complaint.
Resolved, That we appeal to our brethren of
South Carolina, of Georgia and Alabama, of
Mississippi and Florida, and of such other 'States
as are considering the question of seceding
from the Union, with all the affectionate ear
nestness we can express, to forbear. That a we
remind them. of the innumerable ties which
bind us todther as one people, anti which
seem to us so strong that no power short
of that 'which paralyzes all memory, and
effaces all history, can separate us. That
the ashes of those brave men who fought
with us and for us rest beneath our soil, and
that they have in their keeping the bones of
our soldiers who perished in their defence.—
That our glorious institutions under whose
guidance and protection we have attained-to so
great prosperity and renown, and which have
made this Union of ,States the joy and hope of
oppressed millions throughout the .world, were
framed by the wisdom, built by the toil, and
defended by the blood, of a common ancestry,
and cancot perish without an eternal reproach
to us, their children, if we destroy so great and
so fair an inheritance.

MEM=
Mayor lim' said : "We have met to inteli
gently consider the imminent danger which
threatens the perpetuity of the Union, without
any partizan or personal motives. This danger
has been brought upon us most rapidly. The
Republic is still iu its infancy, yet now we meet
on ground where the Declaration of Independ
ence was proclaimed by our fathers with despair
in their hearts. Only in the sovereignty of the
people, and by the prompt efforts of the people,
can this Union be perpetuated. We have met
to declare our unshaken confidence in the Union
and our determination to defend its integrity.
He spoke plainly. If any hostile sentiments
have been proclaimed by any one portion of the
country against the other, they must be relin
quished. We must restore public sentiment to
the old standpoint. The misplaced appeal's
from our pulpits, lecture rooms and presses,
against a section of our common country, must
be frowned upon. [lmmense applause].—
It has been these violent appeals that have
mainly brought about this sad state of affairs.
We must preserve the Union at all hazards
We will do well to icpel this officious inter
meddling with our neighbors. So long as our
social institutions do not contravene with the
principles of the Federal compact, none may
justly interfere with or righteously denounce
them,
[The resolutions were amended so as to call
for a geueral convention of all the States, in
stead of the seceding States
Jos. R. Imams= then addressed the meet
ing, and spoke strongly in favor of the proposed
Convention or Congress composed of delegates
from all the States, to be held in Independence
Hall. He cautioned against violence, lest we
have a civil and devastating war ; and we have
all to lose by disunion. It is most important
that public sentiment be changed • that we no
longer consider each other at this North and
South as hostile and enemies; and he referred
to the speech of Mr. STEPHENS, of Georgia, whose
name was received with hearty cheers. His kind
sentiments are heartily reciprocated and echoed
back to the people of Georgia and the South.—
We must repeal these hostile acts of assembly
passed by eleven States, interfering with South
erners in recovering property. [Applause.] We
must thus show our good feeling by action, not
only by words ; and we must show the South
that we will do nothing to interfere with their
rights,
but everything to protect them ; that
we are their brothers, friends and fellow-citizens.
It is folly to suppose this country can be divi
ded, and it must be union in peace or union in
war.
Jonas WOODWARD, of the Supreme Court,
said we must consider calmly the position of
the South, and ask whether they may not be
justified in their apprehery3ioos. The pla'•
form of the party which has just succeeded in
electing their candidate for President, is un
doubtedly considered hostile to the institutions
of the South.
CHARLES E. Lax, City Solicitor, said he had no
doubt that the action of this meeting would be
heartily endorsed by a majority of those who
cast their votes fur the President elect, and he
sooke as a Northern man on Northern soil. In
doing so they would not abandon their panel
pies. The vote of Pennsylvania was not influ
enced by the slavery question. The main issue
on which the recent contest was decided in this
State was the protective policy. Any danger
to the South would be repelled by hosts of
young men lately conspicuous in the political
clubs of the successful party. Let the Fugitive
Slave law be implicitly obeyed. We may pre
fer that it should be slightly modified, but as
it is, its the law of the land, and let us submit
to tho decisions of the Supreme Court. He
only spoke the sentiments of the Governor elect.
[Faint cheers for Curtin.]
• He read a telegraph dispatch from the Gov
ernor of Maryland to Mayor Henry, denying
the report that ho intended to convene the Le
gislature of that State.
Mayor Henry read a dispatch to the meeting
from Philadelphians now holding a meeting at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, approving
of the action of the people of their native
city.
THEODORE CITYLER, President of the Select
Councils, spoke earnestly and patriotically on
the questions of the day. This was no hour for
crimination or recrimination. Forgetting all
party ties, or questions of expediency, we must
unite and keep step to.the music of the Union.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18
SENATE. —After prayer and the reading of the
Journal, Mr. JornrsoN, (Term.,) presented joint
resolutions proposing amendments to the Con
stitution of the United States, in accordance
with the fifth article of fhe Constitution. He
also introduced a resolution that the select
committee of thirteen be instructed to enquire
into the expediency of establishing, by Consti
tutional provision, a line running through the
Territories of the United States, making an
equitable division, with slavery to the South,
and vice versa to the North. Secondly—that
the States preventing the return of fugitive
slaves shall pay double the value of said
fugitives : Thirdly—slavery shall exist in the
Navy Yards, etc., in States where slavery ex
ists, but not in the others : Fourth—Congress
shall never interfere with slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia so long as it exists within the
limits of Maryland : Fifth—Congress shall not
touch the - representation of three-fifths of the
slaves : Sixth—the amended provisions to
be considered a part of the Constitution.
Hors.—The Speaker appointed Mr. HUGHES,
(hid.) a member of the committee on military
affairs, in the place of Mr. BURII&M, excused.
Mr. Mortars, (Ill.) asked leave to intro
duce a resolution expressing a proper es
timation of the immense value of oar Na•
,tional Union and cherishing a cordial, ha-
Ntual and immoveable attachment to it; that
we will speak of it as the palladium of our po
litical safety and prosperity ; that we will
watch its preservation with jealous anxiety ;
that we will discountenance whoever may sug
gest even a suspicion that it can in any event
be abandoned ; and indignantly frown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of our country from the rest, or en
feeble the sacred ties which now link together
the various parts.
Among other things the resolution declares
that we regard the perpetuity of the Union as
of more value than the - temporary triumph of
any party or any man ; that whatever evils cr
abuses exist under it ought to be corrected
within the Union, in a peaceful and Constitu
tional way ; that we believe it has sufficient
power to redress every wrong and enforce every
right growing out of its organization or per
taining to its proper functions ; and that it is a
patriotic duty to stand by it as our hope in
peace and our defence in war.
Mr CURRY, (Ala.,) objected to the introduc
tion of the resolution, unless it be referred to
the special committee.
Mr. Monms said he had not the slightest idea
of letting it be buried in the coffin of that com
mittee.
Mr. CURRY again objected.
Mr. Mortars said that he wanted a vote on the
resolution, and hoped ultimately to succeed.
On motion of Mr. SEMINAR, (Ohio,) the
House took up the Treasury note bill asreturn
ed from the Senate with amendments. The
House agreed to the amendment restoring the
- denomination from $lOO to $6O. The other
Senate amendment proposing •that three mil
ions of the Treasury' notes may be sold ~at
rate of interest higher than six per cent. but
not less than par, was agreed to, bat the House
extended that authority to all the notes issued
under this law.

Comm.—The sudden changes of our climate
are sources of Pulmonary, Bronchial and Asthmatic Af

the Cold, Cough, or Irritation of the Throat be ever so
slight, as by this precaution a more serious attack may
be warded off. Public Speakers and Sirgera will and
them effectual for clearing and strengthening the voice.
