The cotton Siatea have seceded and manifest a determ ination to try their fate outside of the l mm,. Thoy are tired of our present form of Re publican government, and are evidently r.- solved to make a most hazardous experi ment by which they think their political ambition and material interests will be greatly subserved. Having seceded from the Onion with these ideas, they are de termined not to be coaxed back by. spurious promises ou the part of the North. The Northern and the Herder States, how ever, still love the Union and are attached to it by a thousand memories, dear to the hearts of the people, and a thousand rich benefits which the Onion has conferred upon them. . The interests of the border and middle States are identical. Their interests are our interests, and for the Bake, of satisfying them any reasonable compromise which they shall ask. should cheerfully and promptly be acceded to ou the part of the North H the allegiance of the border States is thus secured, the Southern States will, sooner or later, gel tired of their seces sion from the Union. Coercion, without a bloody and prolonged civil war, f imprnet, cable. The movement is too big a one to la decided by battles, n IS a people divided against itself, and compioiUi-t ouK i an the breach which bus occurred The bol der States hold the, balance of power, they will bo satisfied with compromise. The object of this convention is not a political one. There are no office to give out. It is a meeting or the representatives oi; the people, to take counsel upon their own highest and dearest interests. I In people will at last have to settle this national difficulty, ir it is evet settled. The politi cians have worked at it in vain, until the people have lost all hope and confidence in them. The people are for the Union, ann their sentiments upon tho terms and condi tions under which it can be preserved an now of tbe greatest moment. It is clear that the question raonot be adjusted u|-on party or sectional issues. It is these vt ry issues which have caused the d.flhully. The body which the people are now to select should be of their own men. Those who have heretofore been prominent as politi cians are not the men to send to such a con vention as this. Those should be sent to Uarrisburgh who are ready and willing to renounce partizan standpoints, and take their stand upon the Constitution with lib eral national patriotism. N'o issues which have heretofore been entertained in party disputes should have influence in tbe selec tion of these delegates. In the city, the delegates to the County Convention Bhould be selected from among our business men merchants, manufac turers, and mechanics. Tarty politicians should especially be avoided. In the coun try districts, the people Bhould choose the most intelligent and upright farmers. Let us have new men in this convention men fresh from the ranks of the people ; and so the delegates to llarrisburgh should be selected with an eye to their patriotism, their conservative love of the Union, and their personal influence as men. This con vention Bhould be composed of men who are for the country—not who are for their own personal aggrandizement, or who are seeking political preferment. In its deliberations, this convention must be guided by the Con stitution and the laws, and not by preju ce partisanship or personal feeling. It must be composed of men who are equal to the task of doing the work like true Amer ican citizens. Let the people see to it that thkis done; and, to this end, let all their delegates be men who are not politicians, except in the enlarged meaning of that term. THE NEWS, The news in our telegraphic columns this morning is important and interesting- There are now two Republics. On Satur day, JeSerson Davis, of Mississippi, and A. H Stevens, of Georgia, were respectively elected unanimously President and Vice President of the “Confederated States of North America. The Boston Bankers have determined to refuse any government loans under the new administration until affairs are settled. The New York bankers have already done the same thing. The proceedings of Congress are impor tant. In view of the free trade proceedings at Montgomery, the seizure of New York ships, at Savannah, and the obstruction of the interior commerce at New York, Mr. Cochrane will to-day press the passage of his bill for the protection of commerce, through the execution of the Federal Revenue laws. The Little Rock Arsenal with boon stand of arms, a large amount of amuuition, forty cannons, including Capt. Braggs battery, has been surrendered to the State authoii ties, and is cow garrisoned by one hundred volunteers. FboM North, South, Hast and West wo have news of a terrible storm, prostrating telegraph wires, unroofing houses, uprooting trees and demolishing high chimneys and weak walls. ; f - i n • * „ .***» ■ ■ "*?**#, ■" f*. . ! % • /** For the Pit tabor, h Post COtTHTY FINANCES—SOME FACTS ANO FIGURES.

TnE Surveyor General's Report baa tbe following in relation to Petroleum: The development of Petroleum or Rock oil.in large qanliuos in tbe northwestern portion of tbe Stale, while adding to tho wealth of Un people, has also increased the business of the office. Tbe applications for vacant and islands, throughout that region, are flowing on continuously, and not always as smoothly as tbe oil which is coveted. There is a prospect of litigation—an ill-wind that will blow good to somebody. The appli cations are so numerous in various northern counties for warrants to take up beds of rivers, since tho oil excitement, that it will bo doing a service to many worthy j/orsons to slate dis tinctly, that no warrants, for that purpose,can issue to any county in the State, ex<:r})t AlU gheny. The discovery of tbo oil was made in any years since; h n nce tho name of Oil Creek. ‘The Seneca Indians applied it by mixing wilh'tbeir war paint, and for religious purposes. .“The great Chiet would recito the conquest and heroism of their ancestors. Tho surface of the stream was covered with a thick scum, which buret into a complete conflagration,— The oil had been gathered and lighted with a torch. At the sight of tbe flames, Ihe Indians pave forth a triumphant shout, that made the hills reecho again! Hero is revive(F ! -tbe aDcient lire worship of the East. Hero then, tiro tbe childrerf of the Sun.” This description was written more than one hundred years ago to Gen. Montcalm. The lirst settlor acquainted with the locality of tbe oil springs was Nathan iel Curry, of Franklin, seventy years since. Un tho 2Gih of August, lbo'J, a vein of oil was struck at tho depth of seventy-one foot, on Oil Creek,below Titusville,in Venango county, superintended by Col. K. L.
