IntiUtgtnttT denounces tte secret sessions of the South Carolina Convention as despotic and i forfeiting one of the most precious securities of personal and political Independence. The Constitution of this morning fairly hotels with rage that the Gov. Wise plan for the subjugation of Washington by his Minute Men and ' National Volunteers" Is likely to fail through the prompt action cf lien Scott. The R>pub!iran believes that the Southern appointments in the Cabinet of >!r. Lincoln will be deferred till bis arrival in this city. A SkisHt Set Back.?The-Legislature of Vlr!glnla, in calling their State Convention, which it to meet on the 13th of February proximo, having provided that the people in electing delegates to it shall also vote for or against the reference of the Convention's action back to tb* people, the Richmond Enquirer, the organ of the disunionists per se in that State, berates the body (the Legislature) unmercifully for having virtually abandoned the cause of the South, and " all that sort of thing " The same wise precaution of the Virginia Legislature hea given like deep offense to the conspirators against the peace of the country and the continued existence of the Union, here. The latter have froari the first en^in> ered the scheme so as to allow the people nowhere tbe privilege of sitting In judgment npon the acts of their (theae conspirators') agents in the several slaveholding State?, and a successful termination of their plotadepends In great measure upon their being allowed by the people <o usurp tfce government of the South unquestioned by formal popular inquests anywhere They commenced wi;h the dec laration thnt they aimed but to svcure - peaceful and conatitutional accession," and have already illustrated th^t they r-Silv design revolution bv force i.t arrr.s. hv taking potttssion not only of United Stitft forti! fixations, Ac., in a State claiming tohavesec<ded, but in several States making no inch pretentions, and a It j by the ute of triors Tom one Stite that had a t preteuded to have seceded, in another State alto not pretending to have seceded. That such proceeding! on their part are awakening the 6j*a jiJe people of the South to a realization of the fact tba'- under pretense of seeking to conserve southern rights, an irresponsible secret council are rapidly placing upon their necks the yoke of an atrocious military despotism, It evident in recent proceeding! of the people In the town of North Alabama, where Senator Clay retide1, by which the Alabama Convention now in teM'.on were duly notified that if they dare to aatume to make a government for Alabama without submittrtig their action In the premises to the consent or rejection of the people, North Alabama ^.-111 promptly reaist its authority by force of arius.
