might possibly do. in our sacred charac-

as we are. touching the .justice of the tuniiv when Morgan wa asleep lie cut his

iiiimiiIvik u-ki.p hup lii.tlni- limn ilmv am ' ileseiiheil. We have; ileal (1 ol instances of
hut as eipials only : and they are many
wliile we are comparatively few. And
what in sacli circumstances will be the
probable judgment of mankind respect-
ing our action should we secede
If I may place any reliance on what
has come under my observation during
in Ions journey t'l.ough live of the prin-
cipal Southern States it is not probable
that a Southern Congress representing
the Southern people can he had at all ;
nor if it could be had that it would do
much if any thing more than the Geor-
gia Convention did. As to secession 1
have no doubt that three-fourths of the
people would oppose it at the present
time. The reason of this opposition! Have
understood to be that thev elo not consid
er the acts of Congress to be a violation of
the Constitution and in their opinion no-
thing less should justify secession. 1 un-
derstand it to be the opinion of onr peo-
ple of South Carolina that Congress has
violated the Constitution. At most then
it is a mooted point and not a settled fact:
we entertaining one view of it while a
majority of the wise and virtuous of oth-
er States greatly on; numbering us hold
the opposite. Do we owe. them nothing7
Is it not even due to our own srlf-respect
to review the matter? Surely we should
know that we are right beyond dispute
before we should proceed to a iinal act of
the most fearful import.
And ought wc not to consider consequen-
ces? Patriotism demands not of us to run
madly on to our country's ruin and secess-
ion by our Slate ulonc must prove ruinous.
What though no hostile army might invade
our soil the United Slates must and will op-
pose us. Charleston will be shut out from
the test of lhc world her commerse perish
her merchants leave her in despair; while
from her very suburbs our rice and cotton
flhall be carried to Savannah and Augusta
loramaiket. Even now the rivalry ol Sn.-.
van nah is not to be contemned but let our
State secede from the Union and Charleston
must become a desolation.
Xor will the blight fall on Charleston only
but on nil the Stale; while our taxes in-
creased seven-fold r.nd the heat of the pres
ent agitation cooling off ourvciy leaders if
they should prove too proud to be loiind
knocking; at the door ol" the Union for admis
sion shall join the many thousands of our
novel ty-stnckcn people in their flight Irotn
their ruined homes to more fuvorcd parts.
Can patriotism demand the sacrifice r Patri
otism demand the sacrifice of the State? No
never.
Let ua then fellow-citizens review our
ground. If a Convention we must have M
il 7iol be a Convention of 601J find half-made
incn but oj the icisc and sohcr-minded. Thei c
is no battle to bo fought lor glory by seces-
sion but a fearful struggle with poverty and
high tne; hard times without hope of im-
provement mid great and sore humiliation.
And may God grjnt us deliverance!

Hnnittii'r.nDc.vTii. The body of James
C. Harrington a man of respectable connc.x
ions hut who has for some time been a slave
to intemperance! was found in Law's church
between Canterbury; and Milford (Del.) on
Saturday last. It is supposed he entered
lhc gallery of the church the previous even-
i"gj through an:oulcr door to obtain shelter
fiom the weather; and being intoxicated fell
hind foremost to the floor bcloiv. The whole
of the floor was smeared with blood showing
that the fall did jnol kill him instantly ns he
must have craw'led about the cnurch prewi-
ois to his death. His hat and a jug of whis-
key were found in the gallery.

Clark Trial Condition and Eiicution of t.t
Murdmrs.
A train consisting of fifty wagons has arrived
from Fl Iio accompanied by Major C P. Mart- j
leit. Commissary ol" the lloiindary Commission j
Col. McLellan and several gentlemen who were
connected with the same expedition. The Com-
missioner in connection with the Mexican officer
appointed for the same purpose has settled upon
the point of commencement but there has been bt-
lle or no progress made in the survey. Operations
have been suspended for the presmt owing to the
uini of supplies. The members of the parly ac-
companying the commissioner were scattered
amongst the several villiges upon this side nf the
river between Socorro and Dona Ana but were
ordered to the Copper Mines to remain until the
arrival of supplies.
An inhuman murder was committed in Socorro
in January last. Mr. Edward C. Clark the As-
sistant Quartermaster to the expedition (a son of
"senator Claik of Hhode Island.) was the victim.
I: appears that a man bv the name of Ale.xander
Young a in led e'esperad bad be. n ropn-i.anded
by ("lark on account of some outrages committed
by liim (Young.) upon some Mexicans eine of
w'.orn he bad killed. Fin ng became exasperated
and in company with several lavvle-s cnnipaiiions !
went to a fandango where tlu-v Knew- I nrk ! i
armed with knives and pistols and commenced be-
having in the most boisterous manner. Upon Clark's
interfering for the purpose of preserving orJer be
was immediately attacked by Young and his party
and instantly killed : bis body was literally cut to
pieces. Young made bis escape but four of bis
accomplices were arrested and tried the next day.
before the Chief Justice of the county and con-
victed of murder by a jury of twelve men six
Americans and six Mexicans.
Three of them Ciaig Uullcr and AA'aile were
hung oi. the evening of the same day that they were
tried. The execution of the fourth McNeiin
was postponed until ihe next day on account of the
lateness of the hour. He was released however
in the morning after passing the night in the same
bouse with the bodies of bis companions who had
been executed.
A reward of four hundred dollars (oblaiued by
individual contributions.) was offered for the ap
prehension of Young who was captured about ten
days after upon the otberside of the river brought
back. trieJ. comicted and executed on llie same
tree upon which his accomplices had been previous-
ly hung. The Commissioner Mr. Harriett was
absent from the scene of the above occurrences and
was not cognizant of the tacts until all bad been
consummated. Young confessed bis guilt upon
the gallows together with the fact that he had
been instrumental to several pievious murders but
the others maintained their innocence to the last.
The trial of the offenders though prosecuted as
is seen in an informal maimer is said to have had
a most salutary influence upon those persons (of
which there are a great number in thai country)
ho are disposed to be riotous and quarrelsome.
Aew Monvr. Powek. Prof. Snloman
ofllurrodsbure Ky. hits successfully on
plied the entire power of carbonic acid gas
as a substitute for slcatn in propelling engin-
ery for every purpose. The power of this
gas lias long been known-to chemists but
their inability to rcgulute nnd govern t has
prevented lis use as n "propelling "agent.
ProfessorSalotnan claims to be able to con-
nl it wilh ncrfect safely and' that fti vviirhf-
ford n power equal to steam in one-fiftieth of
the space and one hundredth part oftbo .ex
per.se dispensing with both furnaces 'and
boilers- Experiments hnve recently been
mado in Cincinnati which are said to be
ntirely satislactory.

rarelv to resort to corporeal pj.-ushinent but when
