WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 19‘, 1860
THE NATIONAL CRISIS.
KENTUCKY'S ADDRESS TO THE SLAVE'STATES.
.Governor Magoflin has addressed the follow
ing Circular letter to the Governors of the
Slave. States : i -
. ' Entertaining the opinion that some movement
should be instituted at the earliest possible
momfint. to arrest the progress of events which
seem to be rapidly hurrying the Government
ofthe Union to dismemberment, as an initia
£l97 'fitep, 1 have, with great diifi'dence,‘ conclui
dad to submit to the Governors of the slave
States a series of propositions, and ask their
counsel and cooperation in bringing about a
settlement upon them as a~basis.. Should the
propositions, be approved, they can be submitted
to the assembling-Legislaturesand Conventions
of the slave States, and aConveution of all, of
said States, or those only approving, he called
to pass upon them, and ask a general Conven—
tion of all the States of the Union that may be
disposed to meet us on this basis for afull con
ference. .. _, _ . _ _p p
The present good. to be accomplished would
be to arrest thesccession- movement, until the
question as ‘towh'e'ther' the Union can be pre
served upon fair and honorable terms can be
fully tested. If-thereb; a basis for the adjust
ment of our difficulties within the ‘ Union,
nothing shouldbo, ._ Lundoneiniorder to its
development. To thfi’dnd,, it seems to me there i
should bea confer-spec of the States in some ‘
form, and it appea/‘is to me the form above sug
gested would be most efiective. I, therefore,
as the Governor of a State having as deep a
stake in the perpetuity of the Unionl and at the
same time as much solicitude _for the naming
nance of the institution of slavery as any other,
would respect-fully beg leave to submit for your
consideration the folldwing-o'utline of propo
sitions: _ . _ . . *- '
Ist. Repeal, by an amendmentiof‘the Consti
tutiOn of the United Statesyall laws inthe free
States inany degreenullifying or obstructing
the execution of the fugitite slave law. 3
2d. Amendments to said law to enforce its
thorough execution in all the free States. pro
viding'co‘mpensation to the owner of the slave
from the State which fails to' deliver him up
under the requirements of the law, or throws
obstruction in the way of his recovery.- 7
. 3d. Ihe-passage of a law by Congress. com
pelling the Governors of free States to return
fugitives from justice, indicted by a grand jury
in another State, for stealing or enticing away
a slave. , ‘ '- 1
4th. To amend the Constitution so. as to
divide all the territories now belonging to the ‘
United'States, or hereafter to be acquired, be- ‘
tween the free and the slave States, say upon
the line of the 37th degree of north latitude—
all north of that line to “come into the Union
with requisite population as free States, and
all south of the same to come in as slave States.
- sth. To amend the Constitution so as to
guarantee forever to all the States the free
navigation of, the Mississippi river.
6th. .To alter the Constitution so as to give
the South the'.power, say in the United States
Senate, to protect itself‘from uncenstitutional
and oppressive legislation upon the subject of
slavery. .
Respectfully, your obedient servant, ,_
. . B. Madonna, ,
PROPOSED CONVENTION or THE BORDER STATES.
The. LouisvilleJloumal, after a candid and
impartial review of the present political crisis,
suggests that a Convention of the Central
States of the Union, on the basis of the Con
stitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court
in its formal decisions, be held in, Louisville on
the 22d of February next. Virginia, Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois are the Central States referred to.—
These eleven States, says the Journal, linked
together more or less closely in destiny as in
position. constitute the real Keystone of' the
Arch of the Union, and it is equally their duty
and their interest to lead off in someintelligent
effort to bring order out of the present chaos
of our political affairs. '

paragraphs : . . ‘ .
The time was when men shrank from calcu
lations of the value of the Union. That has
long since passed, and now they who, during a
long life, have ever cherished and cultivated
veneration for the Government with an almost
religious fervor. are driven to the oontempla-‘
tion of its disruption. The Constitution is the
only bond of Union ; but if it is to be respected
and obeyed by the Nerthern people only when it
chimes with their theoretical opinions, or con
serves their interests; if we are practically as
signed the position of infer-ions when the letter
and spirit of the bond is that wears equals;
if we are to be oppressed and despoiled of our
property, and to he tyranniaed over by a hos
tile Government, and expected to submit he
causé the outrage in' perpetrated under the
forms of law, then it is better we should r‘es
tire from an association'whioh has ceased to
benefit us through perversion from its original
design. , ' .
I do not think it comporis with the, honor
and self-respect of Louisiana, as a slavehol'ds
ing State, to live under the Government of a
Black Republican President. I will not die
pute the fact that Mr; Lincoln is elected ac
cording to the forms of the Constitution; but
the greatest outrages, both open public and
private rights, have been perpetrated under the
forms of law. This question rises high above
ordinary political considerations. It involves
our present, honor and our future existence as
a free and independent people. . It may be said
that. When this Union was formed, it was in
’- tended to be perpetual. So it was, so far as
such a term can be applied to any thing hu

LETTER FROM EX-GOV. WISE.
Ex-Goveruor Henry A. Wise, in a letter dated
Dec. 1., addressed to a. gentleman of Columbia,
G 3,, thus defines the meaning of the phrase
“fighting in the Union: ” ‘
Dear Sir : Yours of the 22d ult., was late
coming to hand. I now thank you for it. As
to my doctrine of “fighting in the Union,” it is
one of true policy.
1. If a. Sovereign Stale is judge of the in
fraction as well as of the mode and measure of
redress, she may remain in the Union to resent
m- resist wrongs as well as to do so out of the
Union.
2. If other States have infracted the Union,
not she, the State wronged is bound to defend
the Constitution and Union against those who
have infracted the one and threatened the other.
Logically the Union belongs to those who have
kept, not those who have broken, its covenants.
3. The Union is not an abstraction; it is a
real, substantial thing, embracing many essen
tial iand vital political rights and properties.
It has nationality, lands, treasury,orgauization
of army, navy, ships, dock-yards, arsenals, &c.,
&c., Sac. Shall we renounce these rights and
possessions because wrong-doers attempt to‘
deprive us of other rights? Is it not cowardly
to renounce one rightto save another? Are
these rights _not as Beecious as the more right
of property in negroes? But,
4. If you secede, you not only renounce the
Union and its professions, but you fail to unite
your people, because you‘ do not renounce these
rights. Wake a man up to destroy the Union
and Constitution and he will stare at you and
turn away. But tell him that the Constitution
is infracte'd and the Union threatened by Black
Republicans, and call him to aid you in defend
ing both against those who would destroy both,
and he wiil not heartily with you.
- 5.. Then how is this to be done? The third
clause of the tenth section of the first article
of theConstitntion of the United States per
mits a. Stateto keep troops and ships of war in
time of peace, and to engage in war when ac
tually invaded, or when in such imminent
danger as'will not admit' of delay. Now, are
we not actually invaded? Is our danger not
imminent? Does it admit of delay? May not
a. sovereign State so decide? .
‘ 6. And What is the difi'erehce? Will it not
be revolution and war in either event?
I say. then, stick to all your rights, renounce
none, fight. for all and save all!
' Yours truly, &0.,' ‘ HENRY A. WISE.

The Hon}. 1": King, one of the ablest and
most popular than i‘n’GeOrgia, contributes to
the Augusta Cofistitutiomht an able .paper on
the present condition of National afi'airs, from
which we ‘make‘ the following extracts:
" This panic has already cost our planters
millions in- the depreciation of their property,
and if it continues long, must prove disastrous
to all classes, and, to the debtor class must be
attended with absolute ruin. I wish to show
that lie-immediate danger to us is threatened;
that so far as any material interest is concerned, 7
the danger is remote. and contingent. The
equality in the Territories—the main question
involved—is practically a mere abstraction,
and, by many of our greatest Southern states;
men,-.helieved.to. be 'of little importance to the
South. This claim, as a constitutional right,
is of recent, origin. It was not insisted on
'even in the angry discussions on the Missouri
Compromise: Its justice; however,-was none =
the less clear, and the claim should not be
surrendered i . * , ‘
Our grievance, from the election of Lincoln,
is not one of tangible‘and immediate wrong
to our interests. It is only‘an'evidehce on
.which we ground an apprehensionmf future
wrong. ‘ It is evidence, but not conclusive
evidence. The election of Lincoln is more an
insult than an injury. It does not touch a
single interest that would not have been equally
exposed under any President. lam not indif
ferent, however, to the outrages of those States
who have violated the social compact by hos
tile legislation. 'But I would not adopt a
Japanese plan of redress, lend rip open my
own bowels, but punish the guilty parties.-.—~'
This we can do better inthe Union than out of
it. We can make them contribute to our na~
tional strength and resources, while we can
make them pay for their own perlidy and folly.
Our complaint is against the perfidy of States,
not against the government of the Union. It
was the perfidy of States that called the Union
into‘ existence. The Union cemented these
"faithless, jealous, sectional bodies together;
and from objects of contempt, when separated,
they rapidly grew into one of the mostpower
ful and prosperous nations on the earth.
These puny efforts of faithless States to nul
lify the fugitive slave law have been home
down in every instance when the two powers
came in contact. Even Black Republican
judges have generally sustained the law, and
it is the boast of Judge McLean that afugi
tive never escaped in his jurisdiction for want
of a. correct interpretation of the law. Burns
was returned, at the point of Federal bayonets,
in despite’of the laws of perfidious Massachu—
setts. This Government has performed every
_duty expected of it, and has never failed to ex
ert its power, when called on, to enforce the
Constitutional rights of slavery. For that
very reason the ultra Abolitionists at the North
denounce it as “a league with hell,” and wish
to get rid of it. They are consistent, for it is
their only chance to accomplish their hellish
designs. Are we equally so when we wish to
give up this bulwark Without‘a single equiva
lent? In the Union we-have every power of
protection by State action that we would have
out of it, and have this additional security be
sides. In the Union our slaves are—to use the
strong language of another—“as safe as if
they were in the middle of the earth.” Are
we certainthat they will be equally so under
the lone star and “the sublime terrors of the

SOUTHERN SECESSION DONATIONS.
The Port Gibson (Miss.) Reveille states, from
a private source, that a. number of prominent
wealthy citizens of Mississippi have donated
various sums for the purpose of providing the
State with the means of placing herself on a.
war footing, and otherwise preparing for any
emergency. Among those who have thus con—
tributed of their substance are the following :
Gen. Clark gives 100 bales cotton; Miles I{.
McGee gives 100 bales; Chambers, of Coahoma,
gives 100 bales ,- Jefi'. this‘ "gives $lOOO ; Gen.
Lamar gives $1000; and COLE. T. Archer, of
Claiborne county, gives bonds in the Missis
sippi Central Railroad to the amount of over
$2000; besides numerous others have contrib
uted various sums.
SUPPOSE WAR! WHATTHEN?
The Albany Argus deals some heavy _blows'
to those Black Republican sons of thundee
who raise their voices for war in the evenli' of
Southern secession. Says the Argus :
“Do these rash codnsellors forget that. the
threat of Sectional Civil War would compact
the South, border States and all, in one mass!
How would it leave the North! A change of
five per cent. in the vote of this Slate would
give it against Lincoln, and that change, and
more, has beeuacaomplished already, since elec
tion! - ,
u Let us imagine the minority‘Governor! or
Northern States attempting to aid a minority
President, (the rejected of nearly two-thirds
of the people,) not merely in a civil war, but
in a servile war, against the men and women
and chilbren of the South, (for that isthe
shape the invasion would soon assume.) and
where would be the sympathies, where, the
arms of the Northern messes? Not with the
black swarm of insurgents or their Northern
allies, but with our brethren of the South.
“ Dissipete then, this foolish and fatal delu
sion of resolving diflicultiea like those presented
in the present. crisis, by civil war.» It is wild
and it is as wicked as absurd.” .
The resolutions adopted at the meeting in
New York (of which we gave on account yes~
terday) Aare as follows :I‘ ' ‘ “"'
Resolved, That the deliv‘ery _of fugitive slave?
to their masters is an obligation enjoined by
the Commuting, in whip}: all good citizens on
bound to acquiesce ;_ and that. all laws passed
by the States with _a View to emh’ogrosslor‘ob
slruct the execution of the ac! ofACongir'ess
making provision therefor should 11¢ promptly
repaled. “ _ ' '_ ‘ '. X,
Resolved, That the territories of. theint’Qi;
Statesare the common [iroperty o'f théjpeopl‘e'l
thereof; that they 'are of right, and oughttn be,
open to the free immigration of citizens of all
the States, with their families, and with what
ever is the subject‘bf personal ownership un
der the laws of the States from whiléh they
emigrated; that theflrelatiofi of master‘andsloye
cannot, during the territorial conditiop,. be
rightfully disturbed by federal or local legisla
tion; andihat the people of any such territory
can only dispose of the question of slavery in
connection with their own political organiza
tion, when they form a. Constitution with a.
view to their admission into the Unionas a.
State.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to uphold
these principles by all the means in our power;
to seek by all practicable efforts a redress of
the wrongs of which the Southern States justly
complain, and to maintain their equality under
the Constitution, in the full enjoyment of all
the rights and privileges it confers.
Resolved, That while we deplore the existing
excitement in the Southern States. we do not
hesitate to say that there is just ground for it.
But we earnestly entrant our Southern breth
ten to abstain from hasty and inconsiderate
action, that time may be afforded for bringing
about a reconciliation of exisiting difi’erences,
and that the Union of the States—the source of
our prosperity and power—may be preserved
and perpetuated by a restoration of public har
mony and mutual confidence.
Resolved, That Hon. Millard Fillmore, Hon.
Greene 0. Bronson and Richard Lathers. Em,
be appointed a committee to proceed to the
South, with a. View to make such explanation
to our Southern brethern, in regard to the sub-’
jects embraced in the address and resolutions
as they may deem necessary, and togive such
further assurances as may be needed.to mani
fest our determination to maintain theirrightl.
Resolved, That in case either of the gentle
men named in the foregoing resolution-he una

pointed, the committee on the address and res 3
