Anyhatiein one State to nor in advance of the otherti (though not bo intended,) will hate vr be construed into art appearance of a disregard to the Kill and action of others. And while I am free to admit that each State must act for herself and resume, by her own independent will, her delegated authority, yet I conceive, that it is possible and highly det'w ble that all of them should -assign, some common day for nuch resumption.

In the meanwhile proper steps might lie taken not only to secure harmonious action, but to provide for a future Confederacy." 1 Senator Toombs, in hislettcr to the Danburg Committee, just published, takes ri mil ar ground, and goes even further. He is willing, for a reconciliation, and upon Indications tli.it it can be liad honorably, to iratf a reasonable time for tlie North to grant us the terms requisite for peace. lie names the 4th of March, which is of-iwlf a repudiation of the Immediate Secessionists, but is willing to "yield that point for the sake of harmony, and go for a day farther off, should there bo a reasonable indication of the South'a obtaining her rights' the Union." We copy below two extracts in which the views of Mr. Toombs are fully set forth: rr.OM JIOS. ROBERT TOOJIttS.

The Legislature of Georgia have unanimously declared tlmt the present crbis demands and have unanimously voted to call a convention of the people to determine (he mode and measure of redress. This is plain language it ia easily understood, proposes to reiitt wrong at the time and in the manner best calculated to obtain bxdeess. The Legislature also unanimously rated a milliun of (Julian to arm tlie people of Georgia, in order that they may repel by force whatever force may be brought to reeiit the measures of redress the people may odupL Then, upon the questions that we liavc wrongs, and that we intend to redress them by and through the sovereignty of Georgia, tlie State is unanimous. What, then, is likely to divide us? It cannot be the mode of redress, for it seems all look to secession separation from the wrong-doers as the ultimate remedy. The time when tills remedy ouht to be applied seems to be the most important, if not the only point of difference between us.

lie uugkt nut to divide upon tht point-Many persons think the remedy ought to be applied immediately others at a day not to extend beyond the 4th of March next; others, again, supposing that too short a time (or the courenicnt action of the abolition States, would extend it oulv to what might be fairly deemed a reason ableand convenient time within which our wrongs might be redressed by the terong doer. 1 would ttrohgly that there be uo division among thote alio hold either of those opinion. While I personally favor tlie posir Uon or those who are opposed delaying longer than the 4th of March next. I certainly would yield that paint to cornet and honest men who were icmt me in prxnapte, ou uj urv uiu hopeful of redress from the oggreseors than I am. esDcaaliT if anr such active measures should te taken by the wrong doers as premised, to give us redreas in the Union.

But to go beyond the 4th of March, we tbould rc- beforc; as would, with reasonable certainty, lead to adequate redress, and in the mean time wo should Uke care that the delay gives r.o ad- ranta-res'to the adversary and takes nuue from ourselves. Uow is it possible to remedy these enor mous evils ia the Union! There is but one mode, one omV all others arc del Hit una and snares, intended to lull the people into false, security, to steal away their rights, and with them the power of redress. This mode is by amcudmuuu to the Constitution oi the United Slates. In the Union the States cannot make contracts with each other; all departments of tlie Government would be compelled to disregard them. To repeal laws hitherto passed by the Abolition State would net be redress, they would re-enact them next year.

The amend-mems of the Constitution should be such as could neither be evaded or retuted by the Abolition States, and aliould not rest for their ellicacr. unon these witlis of Abolitionists; no oaths can bind them. The Constitution pro vides two mooes tor its own amendment. Article Oth is as follow, on the point before w. "Tlie Coiicress.

Dothis; oiler in Congress such amemhiena of the Constitution as will give you lull an ample security for your wrongs then if the liVk Republican party will vole for the amciidtncEtg. or even a majority of them in good faith, thcy.can be easily carried through Congress; then Ifhink it would be reasonable and litir to postpcsie action) until the Legislatures of the Nortliern Stales could be -i cully called together for definite action on the amendments. If they intend to stop this war on ycur rights and 'your property, they will adopt such aju end mental once in Congress; if they will not do this, you ought not to delay an" hour after the 4 th of Mireli to secede from the Union.

This ts a constitutional and eOcetuaL means sometrdng, can be tested. can Ih; tested at once. This will be putting planks where they an; good for something, il they nrc tho right kind of but putting planks in your Georgia Platform, is putting them where our experience tenches they arc powerless, for good, and only, subject us" to the iibes and jeers of our en emit; cart load of new plants in the Georgia Platform, will not redre3 one wrong, nor protect one right of the neonle of Gcorcia.

It wilt thus Iks seen that the two leadirg spirits the Captain and First Lieutenant Resistance Army in Georgia, have turned their backs upon the wild and inconsiderate scheme Secession, and have resolved, so far as in their power lies, to conduct this great State out of present trials witli dignity and honor, without a stain upon her character or a sacrifice of her justice, patriotism or good sense.

Whatever may be the case in the eight Cotton Slates, there ia la the other seven Slave States' people who lovejiberty secured, regulated, and guarded by Constitutions, as it has been ironvthe foundation of our Govern- its, Geaeral and State, under the Federal and State Constitutions. They do not 'want a 11 Constitutional Ifonarcliy." as some, at least. of the South Carolina school do, nor a consol idated gorernment for the fifteen.

Slave States, with an obliteration-of StftO lines, as other disciples of that school there aad elsewhere desire. Many of them ere in the habit of rcadingjli Bibles, and such of them hare ed npoa 'well reaaember one rcmarkuble events. recorded in the hiatory-of chosen people; And it came to pass, when Samuel was old that ho made his son Judges over Israel. Xow, the name of bb first boru waa Joel; and the name of the second Abiali; -they were Judges in Beerahcba. And his' sons walki-d not in hU waya, but turned aside after lucre and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Then, alt the elders of Israel gathered them selves together, and came to Samuel unto Uerruu, auu em unto urn senoid tnou uowmakcua'a kin-r to iudee ua likuall the nations. Hut the thing displeased Samuel when they said give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord; and the Lord said unto Samuel: Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all tlut they bay unto thee for they have not rejected thee, but have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they bare done since tne day that I brought them up out of Egypt; even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken mc and served other gods, ao do they unto thee. Now, therefore, hearken unto their voice; howbeit, yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall rule OTcr them.

And batnucl told all the words of the liord unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, this wilt be the manner of the kins that shall reign over you. Ht will take your tint ami appoint them jor lumuy, lor coanow anu to be bis horsemen aiid tome thali run before his chariots. And he will appoint Ii tin eaptaint over thousand' and captains ovtrjijiie; and trill tet them to tar Ait around and reap huharvttt, and to makehU iuMtruineuti of tear and inMtrumenu of hit chariot. Ami he Kill take your daughtcrt to be confectioneries, and to be coafa, and to be bakers.

And lie Kill take your field, and your tineyardt, and your olive-yards, even the list of thein, and jire them to his tenant. And he vail take tlie tenth of your uedx and of your vineyards, and give to hitoujeertand to hit servant. And he will XniQ your men tervaut, and your maidurvaiUi, and your goodlittt young mm, and your asset, and put than to hit mirk. He will uke the tenth of your sheep; and ye shall be hitter-rant. And tc shall cry out in that day, because of your king, which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will nut hear you iu that aay.

Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the Toice of Samuel; and they said, nay! but we will have a king over us, that we, also, may be like all the nations: and that our tines mav judge us and go out before us, and fight our Duties." The Lord was the King of Israel and the people rejected Him as their King, and insisted upon having auofcer to rula over them as their luu.ineir aUtr cation of all that Samuel foretold to them as the results of their aposiacy. The chosen people evinced thehr.incapacrly for self-government, and the Lord yielded them up to the chastisement of their own weakness and folly. The Lord has heretofore been die only King of the people of this Union. Theleadcrs and rulers, however, of ihc minority three millions, three hundred und thirty-three thouiond, three hundred and tuirty-thrce, in the cotton States have been and are earnest iu scasjn and out of season, to fire the hearts as welloi that minority as of the people of the other seven slave States, and induce them, uuder thev-influence of passion, excitement and cxBsperatioti, to reject the Lord as their only King, desvoy the ark of their covenanted liberties, and choose another King to rule over them, either a'con- stitutional monarch, or a few leaders undir a consolidated government, with an obliteration of State lines, or under some new and modtt form of gorernment concentrating all power-in the hands of the few. With that minority in' five, at least, of the eight cotton Status, these rulers and leaders have, it id to be feared, already succeeded in their designs against the liberties of the people, who, in these States, will enly awoke from their delusion to find, wc fear, when too late, that they have, by their King, whether a constitutional monarch or the few leaders, been irretrievably seduced into the condition so graphically delineated by Samuel, as that into which the people of -Israel would; by their chosen King, be seduced.

Under the influence of this passion, excitement and cxas- deration, aroused and created in the hearts of that minority in these fire of the cotton States, these leaders and rulers mean to precipitate these fivo States into revolution, with the de sign, thereby, of compelling the "people, as welt of. the other three cotton States as of the other seven slave States, to take part in that revolution. Their determination is the break up the General Government, and with the fragments of the rn'med edifice to erect such a Southern Confederacy, or Southern Kingdom, as will concentrate the power in their own Will the people of Tennessee permit these leaders and rulers of the minority of the people of the fifteen slave States, thus to rah them of their coiutitutioual liberties? COMMON SEXSE. t3TThe medical students of the New York University hod a rumpus on Friday, and one hundred and twenty from the South resolved to secede and go with Prof. Aylett to Charleston.

the mode of redress. He na opposed to sect-ssion, and would fight for the rights of the South' in the Union and upon' the battlements of tho Constitution.

Let us examine tnese Mr. Johnson here' read from letters of Mr.

Madison, to show that the Government was 'formed as a sacred compact that State has no right to secede, and that the only way for her to go outof the Union was' by revolution. If the doctrine of secession is true, then wu havo no Government at oil. The Gorernment has no right to coereea State, but has a right to enforce the laws against individuals in a State. Hebclieved that the Personal Liberty Bills or the Aurth were unconstitutional and rerolutionarv, but this was no reason why the South should follow iu revolutionary acts. He (Johnson) was iii.tiie Union and meant to stay in the Union.

He was not to be driven out by any act, but meant to fight in it Suppose a should go to" Vermont, and on his arrest there a mob should rescue him! Ihat would be an act of nullification and rebellion, which should be nut down bv the Government. Mr. Col lamer said diet as his State was referred to, he would like to correct a wrong iirt- pression.

The people of tlie free States never held the doctrine that a Slate could nullify nn act of Congress. There was no reason lor uppoiing tliat the North was unfair or un-candid.

Mr. suid tliat it was in the history of the transaction that at the time of the adoption of tht law, the Supreme Court had passed a law deciding that colored men had no rights under law which white men were bound to respect, Mr. Benjamin asked if the Supreme Court had ever decided it so.

When read, the resolutions were laid over. Mr. Crittenden explained a resolution he intended to offer: It would practicably re-establish the Missouri Compromise declares that Congress shall not interfere with slavery in the States; provides for the faithful performance of the Fugitive Slave Law, 4c.r Ac.

Hoaaid we were in troublcous times. With remird to concilliation and sacrifice by every lover of tho Union, calm reflection was necessary. If this mighty experiment be overthrown, it will be the greatest shock ever received by civilizationworse than the French revolution. Suppose the Southern Statea come and ask to go out and ask for a fair division, would the North refuse? Would it not give them all they now have! Is it then mere party spirit that pre vents giving them all they would get by establishing tbo line he proposed? What would they gain by refusal Nothing but alt the fatal consequences of disunion. In view ofall these mighty consequences and great evcjjla, is it not better to settle it cn the Missouri Compromise line? The people were satisfied with that for thirty years, and would be satisfied with it again.

It was Vis settled conviction that unless something is done, we would be a separated and divided people in lea than six Is not this the cheapest price to pay for Union. Some people were not afraid but as sure as he stood there, disunion would follow unless 'something was done, and he feared it would swallow old as true a Slate ns yet exists in tlie Union, lie thought the North ought to bo satisfied. The North lias only one-third of the Territory. When we come to make a peace do we measure carefully aud count every cent! It is a glorious sacrifice of party to save the Union, which has cost much sairrilicc. Washington said Providence el pod them.

Is tins great work to bo dashed in Tlie present trouble was" the result of a controversy, aad we haw now come to a plate uhcre the preservation ot the country demands' the Sacrifice of party. The lightest duty of the Senate is to preserve the Constitution and the Government, and hand it down to posterity. We are in a position where history uill record our actions. When we saw discord and danger, we showed a bitter pjitv siiirit, and a treat country was ruined; and, to the amazement of an too world, the great Republic lias fallen, and our names go down witli a stigma upon them. He wished to God it was in his power to save the Union by giving up his private opinion.

He would forgive every one. Is the South bent on revolution? He did not belicre in such madness. He could speak for his own Slate. Old Kentucky will be saiL-fied with this remedy, and stand by the Union and die by It. He clofed with a strong appeal to save the honor of the flag, and express td the hope that sucti would be the case.

He then offered the following preamble nnd resolution: WiicuKAS, Alarming dissensions have arisen between the Northern and Southern Slates as to the rights of the common territory of the United States, and aj it eminently de; irons and proper that the dissensions be settled by constitutional provision which give equal justice to all sections and thereby restore peace, therefore, Jlesolred, That by the Senate and House of Representatives uf the United States tne following article be proposed and submitted as an amendment to Hie Constitution, which shall be valid, as part of the Constitution, when ratified by the Conventions of three-fourths of the people ot the-States. First, In all the territory now or hereafter to be acquired north of latitude 2G dcz. SO slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, rs prohibited; while all territory south of that line, slavery is heie-by recognized as existing, and shall not be interfered with bv ConeresH. Imt -lull tn tirotect- cd as property by all the departments of the Territorial Government during its continuance. AH' the territory north or south of said line, within such boundaries as Congress may prescribe, when it contains a population necessary lur of Congress, 'with a Republican lortn ot bovcrnrneni, suan ue namitteu intu Union on an enualitr with the orhrinnl States.

witli or without slavery, as the Constitution of" Second. Congress shall have no power to abolish slavery in the States permitting slavery. Third. Congress shall have no power lo abolish slavtry in the District of Columbia, while it exists in Maryland or Virginia, or in cither of those States. Nor shall Congress at any time prohibit the officers of the Government or members of Congress at any time prohibit the oflict-rs of the Government, or members of Congress, whose dutira icquire them to live in the District of Columbia, from bringing blares there nnd holding tiicm ss such.

fourth. Congress shall have no power to ninuer tne transportation oJ slaves Jrom one State to another bv land, navigable rivers, or a- Fifth. Congress shall have power by law to pay an owner, who shall apply, to the full value of a fugitive clave, in nil cases where the marshal is prevented from discharging his duty by force or rescue made after arrest. In all such cases the owner shall have power to sue the county in which tlie violence or rescue was matte, and the county shall have the right to sue the individuals, who committed the wrong, in the same manner as the owner could sue. Sixth.

No future amendment or amendments shall effect the proceeding article aud Congress shall never have power to interfere with slavery within the Slates where it is m.w permit led. The last resolution declares lint the Southern States have a right to the faithful execution of tiie law for tiie recovery of dares, cud siu li laws ought not to be repealed or modified so as to impair their cfhcicncr. As to all laws in conflict with the Fugitive Slave Law, it shall not be improper for" Congress to ask their repeal. The Foci tire Slave Lnw outfit la so oltered ns to make the fee of the Commis sioner equal, whether he decided for or against the claimant; and the clause authorizing the person holding the warrant to summon a iose eomitou In be modified so as to restriyt it to uses where violence or rescue is attempted. The laws for the suppression of the African siave uauc uagni to ue cili-ctuaiiy executed.

Mr. Powell's resolution was taken up, and after the discussion of points of order. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, yielded the floor to Mr. Hale.

Mr. Hale said he simply rose to far that, whatever lie thought of tlie practicability of, the of the Senator from Kentucky, he had no doubt about the purity of his motives, and integrity, and the disinterested for-vor of his patriotism, but the Senutcr from Louisiana (ilr. lieiijamm) asknl wlist was mcunt by tho ntnentiiueiiWof the Senator from Atw York. fMr. Kiusi and he now row to ask for infoniiniion.

If this sober second could be token in' all the Southern States, the worst feature of the present troubles would be removed.

We could then look con fideatly for a calm, deliberate, firm, respectful, and dispassionate effort to right our: wrong in tht Union an effort which would receive the countenance and support of a Untied South and In the event of its failure, that failure would be met with a united and enthusiastic readiness to accept the last resort It may be said that failure is inevitable. We believe the reverse, but admitting that the effort will be fruitless, yet Itls none the less incumbent upon us to make it. We owe It to ourselves to our to bar position in the eyes of the civil Ised world. And If for no other purpose, it should be made to secure a united South, ao indispensable to success in the event of a resort to dissolution. There is a party in two or three Southern States who will oppose co-operation and deliberation to the bitter end.

They are diiurion-ists per e. They fear the result of deliberation. The only assurance of the success of their programme, they candidly admit, is pre-dpUation. Delay will be they tell us. But there is a much larger' party who will adhere to the Union as a better government than can be made of its pieces, until every honorable effort has been made in'vain to secure in the Union our constitutional rights.

The sentiment of the latter party Is orershadowing the former in We hope to sec it prcrail in all the Southern States very soon. Gneral Scatt Seeestlan.
