The Governor advises the calling of a State Conven- tion, to ascertain the \%&! of the people on the subject. Turning t State matiors, the Governor advises the yough organization of militia to repel the invasion of the State and protect the property of the citizens. The Governor also recommends the legalization of the suspensions of specie payments by the banks. INAUGURAL ‘ADDRES3 OF THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN.

In the latter case it would require no prophet to foretell the result. It is reported that Mr. Buchanan has received informal- a Commissioners appoiuted by the rebels of South Carolina to a gotiate for the publi¢ property in the bar- Lor of Charleston and for obber purposes. It is also re- orted that the President dirapproved of the couduct of jn Anderson, who, being satisfied that he would not be able to defend Fort Moultrie with the few men under his co |, Wisely took pos- session of Fort Sumpter, where he could o himcelf and the country from the disgrace which might Yave eceurred if be had remained in Fort Moultrie.

So loug a8 the United States persersion of this fort, the independence of South Criohie will only be in name and not in fact. 1, how- 60 net apprehend, the smothered indignation of’ the free States wonld be roused beyond control. It would not be n the power of any one to restrain it. In twenty cays two hundred thousand men would be in readiness to take vengeance on all who would betray the Unien into the hands of ite enemies. Be aeswed that T do not exaggerate the feelings of the people. They are airea ty sufficiently excited at the aticmpt to dissolve the Union, for no. other reason ou thut they constitutionally exercised the most pre- jous rgbt conferred on them, of for the person whom they considered the most worthy and best quali- tied to Al the office of President. Fort Suter therefore cught not, and I peerume will not, be delivered over to South Catohina, I am not, however, pleading for the froe States, for they are not in dapger, Dut for the Union and the preser- vation oi the cotton 'States. ‘Those who sow the wind must expect to reap the whirlwind. ‘Tho jeadors of South Carolina conld not have notived that we live in an age of prigress, und that all Christendom is making rapid strides ‘im the march of civilization and frec- com, Mf they had, they would have discovered that the aunounccment of every victory obtained by the hero of the wineteenth century, Garibaldi, in favor of the oppressed cf Italy, did not fail to electrify every American heart with joy and gladucrs. “Where liborty dwells there is my country,” was the declaration cf the ilustrious Franklin. This principle 18 too strongly implanted in the beartand mind of every man in the free Statts to be surrendered because South Carolina desires it in order to extend the area of slavery. With all Chris- tianized Europe, and nearly all the civilized world op- posed to slavery, are the Southern States prepared to set ubice the barriers which shield and protect their institu- tiore ubder the United government? Would the se Psration of the South from the North give greater security to slavery than it has now uuder the constitution of the Union? ‘What security would they have for the return of ruaway slaves? Tapprehend none, whilst the number of ruraways would be greafly augmented, and the diffl- culties of which slaveholders complain ‘would be in- creased ten-fold. However much individuals might con- demn slavery, the free States are prepared to sustain and defend it as guaranteed by the constitution. In conclusion, I would avoid the bioody and desolating example of the Mexican States. 1am vow, and forever, in favor of the Union, is preservation, and the rigid maintenance of the rights und intercsts of the Staves, individuatly as well us collectively. ‘ours, &¢. JOHN E. WOOL. THE SOUTHERN FORTS AND THE PITTS- BURG BIG GUNS. ‘The numerous reports in regard to the removal of the big guvs from the Allegheny arsenal, Pittsburg, to Ship Island and Galveston harbor, have been so contradictory that we bave taken some paing to ascertain the exact truth in the matter. The citizens of Pitts- Durg assert that the fortifications for which these guns are signed are not ready to receive them, that the order of Secretary Floyd for their removal to the South was for the purpose of peg dom in possession oF the secessioniets. On the other it 13 contended by the friends of the late Sec- retary of War that the fortifications for which these guns are designed are finished aud ready for their arma- ment. The best authority we can have on this subject is the testimony of Brigadier General Totten, the Chief of the Bureau of Fortifications of the United States army, who says of these forts in his ruport of 1859:— SHIP ISLAND FORTIFICATIONS. ‘The ccesion of the jurisdiction from the State (Louisia- na) having been obtained, operations were commenced about March last. ‘To the end of the tiscal year, the work performed had consisted in the construction of workmen’s quarters, office building, stable, smithery and storeheuse for the ‘reception of materials, and a plank road from the wharf to the work. A pi sunk for the draining of the excavations for the fortitica- tion: one hundred and ten feet for a frame work for the excavation of scarp work, foundation propared and in eve place, ready for sinking to the proper level. Materials for the further operations of construction had likewise deen procured. GALVESTON FORTIFICATIONS. Plans haye been propared fora fortilication on the lower sand island (at Galveston, Texas) knowa as Pelican Island, fronting the entrance to the harbor, and the island purchased from the State (Texas) aud jurisdic ticn over it obtained. Added to the above statement we have the verbal testi- mony of an experienced ofticer of the United army, who says that it will be from eight to teu before the forts referred to can be ready w reee armaments, NORTH CAROLINA.
