Has the South been wronged in its constitutional rights on the part of the North Those who deny this make a special merit commonly of standing by the Constitution as it if', and charge the friends of compromise with a design to temper in some way with its sacred principles. But when you come to examine the matter, it is found that what they mean by the Constitution is simply a certain construction of this organic law established for the time by the authority of a reigning party. Their doctrine I is, that what the will of a majority of the nation may determine at any time to be the sonso of the I C, , ustitation that must be taken and held fur the true sense of it, until it may happen to be revers ed and changed by the will of some new majori ty, agreeing to think inn different way. So, for the present, the sense oftlin Constitutionlalnaile to be the Chicago platfdrm, essanctinned'anden dorsed in appearance by the late Presidentiill election, But this is itself to violate the funria- :mental coneeptbin of the Constitution. Lot this view 'prevail, and it would in 0 11 0114'h of itself to pro rohe soo o ssion. not Qui} , hero on the port of the South, but on the part of Pennsylvania al -40, nntl evory other State possessed of a particle of proper regard for its own rights; for in that ease the Constitution would ho not a bond of freedom at all, but a mere organ of tyranny and qppression, at the service of any fanaticism 'that knight be able to lay held of it for this end. - What um need to consider here is not any such party construction of the Constitution, nor even the mere hitter itself of the written instrument, but the spirit, the genius, the original soul and life of the Constitution. That this has been vi olated in a way injurious and insulting to the b'outheru States, is too plain, it seems to me, to admit of any serious question. If anything in the weal is certain historically, it is that the Coustitutiou was intended to be a bond of petit isai union between the Northern and Southern States, under which they should be allowed to maintain their separate institutions respectively, without let or hindrance, ovals° without noy sort of mutual reepunsibility. On no other terms was it possible to unite these several independent Commonwealths in a common Confederacy. It lay in the very nature of the care, that the Con stitution in these circumstances should know no North and no South, no slaveholding end no non-slareholding States—that, it should be per fectly neutral anti indifferent to these distine. tions, extending over them simply the shield of its common protection. But the complaint of the South note is, that the original spirit or,the Constitution in this Vic:vs' bi to longer'practically regarded on the part of the North, but that on the oontrary a system of thinking has organized itself here, and grade/illy gained the ascendency, which holds slavery to bill simply tolerated by the Constitution, while it pretends to make it at the saute time a party against the fair political equal. ity of the Southern States, and an organ for un dermining secretly the very pillars of their pecu liar social system, Such is their complaint; and we must shut our eyes to the, truth not lo See that the complaint is only too welt supported b' feats. In these circumstances, whe will say that we ought not to own the reasonableness and pronrio. ty of the call which is made upon us to settle the difficulties which new besot us in the way of eon cession and compromise; or that we should hesi tate for a moment to do this on the basis which is proffered to us for this purpose by Virginia and her rissociate•Border 'States 1 It should 'be no objection to such an arrangement, that it calls for some new adjustment of the Constitution.— That does not imply any change in the spirit of the Constitution; it is merely the way in which suitable form and expression is to be giehn in this spirit, in order to insure its reservation more truly than before. This, it seems to me, ii the only course of wis dom in the case of those first alternatives, com promise or dlviehm. Lot it be by all means com promise, sincere, fell, and fairly satisfactory' the:Steles which still adhere to the Union 'ln the South. But aupposo this refused, and the tiO.tiiin unhappily driven to the extremity of diVision, we are then at once confronted with another is sue: Shall the separation be peaceful, with ir4- tual ceusont and common settlement of terms, or shall it proceed through violence and blooa, in the way of attemptedeoereion and consequent civ il war? In the name of all that is sacred in hu manity and religion, let us not hesitate about the answer with which this moat solemn question is to be met. If we will consent to respect the con stitutional rights and reasonable demands of our brethren in the South—if we shut them up to the necessity of a general separation from us as the penalty and price of refusing to surrender base ly what they conceive to be their proper civil and political rights—lot us not then be so insane as to think of compelling them to remain with us still, in spite of their own purpose and wish.. On this subject it is of the utmost importance that the mind of the people generally, and above all now that the mind of the people of Pennsyl vania should be distinctly determined, and pro claimed abroad as it were on the foUr winds of heaven, before the time Shall have mine for the. cry to pass into actual word and deed. We here it said et times, that we must Maintain the atti tude of unbendint authority and preiser,lnerder to open the way for peaceful negotiation, that ab solute submission to the existing government must be insisted upon as a eiiie qua non of all set tlement of our present difficulties, and that to gire tip openly before hand the idea of enforcing each admission, if need be, in the way of out!. ward power, is in fact but to encourage the spirit of accession and treason. All this might sound well enough for ordinary circumstances arid times. But when will mon learn to make full earnest with the fact, that we are in altogether extraor dinary times, in the throes, in truth, of a great political revolution, which must end in the dis solution or in a separation and new-birth of our national existence itself, end it can ho no better, therefore, than political pedantry'to think of go ing through with it by ordinary maxims and rules. Let us, in the name of common sense, be done with speculations and abstractions here, and set ourselves to deal with facts in their own character of facts. Let us not he children in this tremendous drama of real life, but let us act as reasonable and full grown men. Dues any man in him senses believe, that a resort to farce, under any circumstances, in this controversy with the South, can ever bring back any part of it to its true place again in the Union; or thnt the talk of coercion can ever carry with it the lend weight there in furor of terten ciliation and peace? And in the event especially of a general secession embracing all the einveholditig States, the event of which lea an imminent possibility I am now speaking, nitn't not every imagination of th ia sort become still more; I might almost say, infinitely Meant? Can any three: of coercion operate with theweight of a feather, to pr; Feat such States as Virginia, Maryland, Rentecky, ntissuttri and Tennessee, from throwing themn:ivos laid the arms of tho now Confederacy, if such a course secins necessary to maintain their rights? Nay, it is this very threat, or rather the bitekwarclneaS which is shown to disown It, the stutlitol reserve with which it seems to lie hold all a sort of rod he. hind the back, to ho used hereafter as occasion may require, instcati of beim; flung r.way at CHICO as it should he—this it is, I say, ns much almost as anything e6e, just now, vitrich gr,es to irritate and it,fiarne the mind of these States, and to make it difficult to bring our negotiations willt them to un andeable and peaceful result. "The Constitution," says Andrew Jackson, "eannot be maintg inc.', nor Iho Union preserved, in opposition to the ioblic feeling, by the more exertion of the coercive powers confided to the General Government, The f•mullations must be laid in the affections of the peop.';. , ,t in the securi ty it gives to life, liberty, character, pt""Pe„rtY in every quarter of the country; and in the ...mt."; nal attachment which the citizens of the severs; States bear to one another, as members of one political family, mutually contributing to promote the happiness of ems another," These are true and right words. Let them be deeply pondered, and solemnly laid-to:hourti by all who care fur the peace of their conntry at this time. Tblo idea of fighting for the preservation of the Union, in its present cirenrostadees, is simply preposterous.. No vietttry hi Mich a. war could deserve to he considered d triumph.
