DECLARING THE ORDINANCE OF SE-
* CESSION ANNULLED.
Section 1. The people of the IState
of Texat by delegates in Convention o#-
sembled, acknowledge the supremacy
of the Constitution of the Unitea
States, and laws made in pursusance
thereof, and renouncing the right of
secession, do ordain, that the Ordi-
nance passed by a Convention, in the
city of Atu0 in,'On the first day of Feb-
A. D. 1861, entitled an "Qrdir
to dissolve the Union between
the State of Texas united under the
compact styled *' the Constitution of
the United States of America." be
•id the same is hereby annulled, and
declared to be of n6 further effect.

After the adoption of the amend-
ment. the main question was immedi-
ately ordered by u vote of 49 to 28.
The main question, which was the
engrossment of the ordinance us
amended was put, and lost by the fol-
lowing vote:
oh both sf&6s
House. They had as well keep cool—
no good is accomplished by lashing
ones self into a passion, there has
been too muotyi fighting of late years
for a fellow to be scared by a loud
voicOL Oran angry brow—this is a time
to talk to men's reason, and not to
the crayen emotion of fear. I tell
keep cool—''don't
ions rise."

We, the people of Texas, by Dele-
gates in Convention assembled, ac-
knowled^in" the supremacy of the
Constitnt ion of the United States and
Law s made in pursuance thereof, and
disclaiming the right of Secession,
and recognizing an ordinance entitled
'•An Ordinance to dissolve the Union
between the. State of Texas and the
other States, united under the com-
pact styled ' The Constitution of the
United States of America,"* Adopted
by Reconvention at Austin on the. 1st
day of February, I8fil. to Uw^iiT con-
travention to the Constitution ^f the
United States. «l> ordain and declare
the same to I'" uull aud void ah
initio. \
During the priKCedinga «f "this
uioruing. Mr. Davis, of Webb, stated
that he I relieved it tlie intentioh of a
lui^otity of the f'ouvwitWh"to folijt a
treasonable paper on the country, iii
the shape of the ordinance annulling
tL«^ onlinance of ^'cession, and that
lie should vote to facilita.tr proceed-
lugs up to," f he test vote on Uiet^u-
growineiit of the hill. ;y
Au-unm w- ar,v debate has sjn-jpig
up on the motion to reconsidt r. iyinE
by Mr. Davis. Nobotly opposes it,—
The ground is bqidly ukeu by Davis,
of Webb. Flanijian and. Taylor, or
Fannin, Tliat nothing will satisfy
them hut the ordinauce reported by
the minority..
The notion' to reconsider prevailed.
tion of the United States of America,
adopted in Convention at the city or
Austin, on the 1st day Of February,
1861,fas from the beginning, ntul
and vt j/Lff r\f -;
The foregoiug wa^ adopted as a
substitute for the minority report, by
a vote of 38 to 36, but this was 'hot a
test vote.
Mr. SLAUGHTER, offered the fol-
lowing as a substitute for Mr. Han-
cock's Ordinance:
"lie it ordained by the people of
Texan, in Convention nsmnbied, That
we acknowledge the supremacy of
the Constitution of the United Stotes
aud the laws passed in pursuance
thereof—and that an ordinace adopted
by a former Convention of the people
of Texas, on the 1st day of February,
A. D. 1861, entitled," An Ordinance
to dissolve the Union between the
State of Texas and the other States,
united under tho compact, styled the
Constitution of the United States of
Auicrica, be, aud the same is hereby
declared null and void, and the right
heretofore claimed by tlie State of
Texas to secede from the Union,
hereby renounced.
The ayes and noes were called a
number of times during the evening.
The interest and excitement, contin-
ued through the session.
Austin, March, 12, 10 a. m.
Convention met.. Cloudy, disposed
to rain—gentle norther sprung up,
which will probably dry the rain up.
The contest this morning is between
the ordinance of Judge Hancock, and
that of Mr. Slaughter. The deck will
soon be cleared for action.
Mr. NORTON, Chairman of Coin
inittccon Condition of the State re-
ports an ordinance clothing the Leg-
islature with power: 1st, to extend
relief to debtors, by passing a stay
law—staying execution from year to
year, or from court to court, on all
judgments now rendered, or tliat may
be rendered on existing debts; on
condition, however, that the debtor
pays the interest and one fourth of
the payment euch year the execution
is stayed, with a further proviso, that
execution shall nor, be stayed for more
than lour years. 2nd, that the exe-
cution of (feeds of trusts nnd mort-i
-grtgeSf may be stayed on the same
condition which apply to payments.

A Visit IJader DilRcaltlca.
A party of I'ennsylvanians, witli a
view of purchasing plantations, vis-
ited St. John's Island, S. C., on Sun-r
day, the 28th nit., to make prelimina-
ry examinations. Armed with author-
ity from Washington, supplemented
by the sanction of Gehs. Sickles and
Dovens, at. (Charleston, the party an-
ticipated little trouble iu accomplish-
ing the purpose of the visit. The
following nariatiye, however, shows
a different, issue. We quote the Au-
gusta Constitutionalist:
On reaching the settlement at a
plantation which they wanted to ex-
amine before purchasing, the whole
party were surrounded by an infuri-
ated mol> of "colored folks," it is not
respectable to say negroes now,) arm-
ed with nil kinds of weapons, aud the
aforesaid while gentlemen threatened
with insinnt death for daring to enter
the stronghold of their island without
permission from the Tycoon, who now
rules the island with despotic sway.
The white men from Pennsylvania
were immediately seized and Com-
pelled to' walk twelve piiles. ifiiost
the entire length of the island, to tb"N
headquarters of the Tycoon, whoiruna
the machine, that is the Bureau of
Uncle Sam.
The fut I'ennsylvanians showed
their authority from the big bureau at
Washingum and Gens. Sickles- and
Devens, at Charleston; but Cuffej
couldn't, read, and replied that he
would kill Gen. Howard,Gen. Sickles
or any other '' cussed white man who
j cum on .lint or Jon Island for take he
property.'' There was no alternative
left, and thi!; Pcunsylvuui&us had to
trudge twelve miles through the
heavy sand, surrounded by a mob of
about one hundred and fifty infuriat-
ed blacks, several of whom wanted to
"loofje town in the woods," and were
only resl.ruined from doing so by tha
hard entreaty of themselves and the
Influence of u few of the negroes,
whose (wimpiissionato hearts melted**
the iilislt i i d feet, aud sufferings of ths
" U^01 huUras."
