THURSDAY, JANUARY 2.0, 1861
The Ch,nese Question.
ViThat has long been dreaded by the Chinese
has taken place at last. England, which intro
duced "the wedge," by the first Chinese
Mar, eighteen years ago, whereby certain
Chinese ports were opened to the "outside
barharlaha" 'of England, and then to all other
foreigners, also obtained Hong-Kong for her
self, as a distinct settlement, which is now one
of her Colonies. This did not suffice. Under
Lord Palmerston's rule-.--and, if not at his
spggestion, certainly, as events have proved,
withtlo expression of his disapprobation—a
new casus hal was found, or made, and a new
War ensued, during whiOll Canton was stormed,
captured, and occupied, after which the com
bined English and French force, naval and
military, proceeded to carry the war to the
very gates of Peking, and actually went up the
river Pei-ho to the city of Tien-tsin, ninety
miles distant from Peking. This frightened
his a Celestial Majesty" the Emperor Hien
fung, and he consented to a treaty, which was
signed on July 3, 1858.
To obtain a permanent and encroaching
footing in China has long been one of the
Moat decided desires of England. As early
as the reign of Elizabeth, (A. D. 15980 an
English expedition was sent against China,
and failed. Nearly a century later, in the
reign of Charles 11, the English "squatted"
on the southern coast of China, much as they
had done in Hindostan, when they commenced
their approaches to sovereignty of that coun
try. But the Hindoos, an effeminate race,
were very different from the Chinese, who are
at once more numerous and more warlike,
having large Tatter forces, by no_means de
ficient in courage and discipline. The only
European nation allowed to have any footing
was_ Rnssla, and its intercourse was com
mercial, not political: it has existed from
about the' year 1780. England was permitted
to have similar relatiOnefor a short time, in
the last decade of the eighteenth century, but
this was checked when it was found that the
English brought in great quantities of opium,
cheaply produced in India, and strictly pro
hibited in China. The trade in tea and silks
was carried on, but under such restrictions as
kept the English so much out of China that
few of them ever entered Canton, the port ot
shipment.
Fer many years preceding the seizure of thee
English stock of opium, at Canton, by Gov.,
Lin, in 1839, constant difficulties were arlstifg
between the Chinese and British, on account
of the contraband dealing of the latter in
opium. The Value of what was burnt at Can
ton was about $20,000,009, and assuredly the
Chinese were justified in what they did ; but,
in the war which ensued, Might conquered
Right, and the treaty of August, 1842, opened
flee ports, instead of Canton alone, to all na
tions ; admitted the residenceof foreign con.
suls in these ports ; ceded the island of long
Kong to the English forever, and allotted $21,-
000,000 to be paid to England, for expenses of
the war and as indemnification to the opium
merchants. •
The coarse of the recent war need not be
traced here, as it must be fresh in the memory.
The Anglo-French army, according to all ac
counts hitherto received, did not penetrate
Into Pekin. The Emperor ran away into
Tartary, with a baker's dozen of his wives—
the whole number exceeding Solomon% being
3,383. The English opened one of the outer
gates, and encamped on the broad outer wail
which encompasses the city. They did not
enter, it is said, for fear that the disaffected
inhabitants ,should-take advantage of the
- f axiala to 'pillage .and destroy. " The Met ac
counts slate that Lord Main and Baron Gros
had taken up their residence in Pekin until
November 9th; but not these Ambassadors
only, but a itroagßutopoan force shohld have
occupied Pekin, which' is a Sacred City to
the Chinese, who look upon European for
bearance as equivalent to fear; The Empe.
ror's summer palace, which the French
"looted," (pillaged,) and which The British
finally burnt to the ground, was not in Pekin,
but live miles distant.
The Emperor of China, anxious to get rid
of the "barbarian" invaders, is said, to hive
delegated to Prince Hung, his brother, the
power of making a Treaty which will "e Act
this, His Celestial Majesty, it would seem,
has a lively appreciation of the value of a whole
skin, and, therefore, retreated from the French
and English bullets. On the 24th of October,
the Treaty was made which restores peace to
China. The principal conditions are: the
Emperor apologizes for the , attack by the Ta.
ka forts upon the British and French in the
Pei-ho last year; British and French Ministers
are to reside in Peking; 8,000,000 taels to be
paid, by instalments, to France and England ;
(another account says , c the indeniiatty by last
year's treaty to be doubled,"); the Allied
forces to retrial at Tein-tain until all the money
be paid; Tien-Jsin to be immediately opened
to trade; the treaty of Tien•tsin to go into
immediate operation; the Chinese to be al
lowed to emigrate ; the Treaty to be publicly
proinulgated all over China; the Allied ar
mies to evacuate Peking on November Bth;
poo,boo to be paid for the benefit of the four
British officers who were murdered ; the island
of Ohusan, which the British had taken, to be
given up; 'Cowloon to be ceded to the British
Crown.
The indemnity. of 8,000,000 facts, amount
ing to $10,040,000 of our' money, so far from
being double the amount - Axed by the treaty of
Tien-tsin, dated July 3, 1868, is less than half
that, whioh was $10,000,000 to the English,
and $0,000,000 to the French. What Cow
loon' may be—port or island—we have been
unable to learn from Lippincott's Gazetteer,
an anthority which never failed -us before.
And that England should give up Masan' an
island So welt fitted for a commercial settle
ment, surprises us, for we recollect that Chu-
San was held ah 'security for the payment of
the indemnity of $21,000,000 under the treaty
of 1842, and held until the last dollar was paid.
It has,long been regretted by the English that
Chusan, rather than miserable and unhealthy
irons Kong, was not retained, and Lord El
gin's relinquishing it now will not, be wel l
thought of by the mercantile interest at Lon
don and Liverpool.
' Moderate terms are regarded by the Chines e
a*'tho effoets of fear. The allied forges should
have wintered in Peking, where the mule-
Hon is so vast, that there must, be ample means
of living,. no matter how great the cold.. Actual
oecupancy of the Chinese capital, by European
conquerors; can alone let John Chinaman feel
Mat' he has been beaten and his Emperor a
disgraced; fugitive.
However, the wedge is in. Whatever eon
"condo:ins Eilgrand and France have gained from
'ChinO have been also gained' for all other
niviliked nations trading With the- Chinese.
The 'United States, :by, the • treaty of 1858,
'come in Upon the same footing as the most
favored nations.' The world gains commercial
and political privileges- 7 , -England gets
,Cow
loon, In - addition to' Meng Kong, and; no
'doubt, will quietly fellow her wonted plan of
; gradually. advancing 'her feet, • until they are,
;firmly, planted upon Chinese territory, Thai
she did,in HindoStan.„
, , .
, China, at any rate, will be an -easy prey.
Rebellien at home, and a conquering, arm,
,from abroad, may speedily change the Impe
rial dynasty. 'The Emperor, suppoSed to be
infallible, unconquerable, and godlike, has
,shOwn his Want of sense in acting so that the
;Eurepeart army-had to advance upon his capi
tal, his Ward of., courage in not meeting and
defeating them', and his want of spirit in run-'
Wei away at the first alarm of danger.
Of course, if the Chinese can evade the ful
'filmont Ot the provisions of the new treaty of

WARIIINCMON, January 8, 1861.
To the Etittor of The Preirt-Tho Mend am=
sloe of the Thirty-sixth Congreschas opened:art
eventful page in our country's hisbry, Per the
fleet time in that history the disruption of the Feder
ral Union, and the overthrow of the Federal 130 i
vernment, have beep deliberately attempted. The
threats of thirty years' growth have ripened, and
oultninat-d in overt acts. The) foot is manifest
that we are now passing through the most perilous
crisis to which our political system has ever boon
subjeoted. It is worse than idle to stop to discuss
theories of secession, and to thresh over and over
again the chaff of • constitutional abstractions.
What
What the public) councils have to do with, in'the
immediate present, is the stubborn fact thatjbis
Bideral Constitution—the band of our FodsM -
Union—bes been repudiated, end the Itedifral
laws. passed in pursuance thereof, have been
fled, and art appeal taken to the last resort, that of
armed rebellion,
The question' that confronts us, then, at Gile
moment, is one of Overwhelming magnitude, over , :
shadowing ail Issues ofpartisanship, all contemns
for place, and all strife for plunder. It involves
the vary existence of the Government, and
threatens the very foundations of she Republic.
All other questions dwarf into Insignificance be-
Side it, and must await its solution.
This motnentons issue is one to be regretted, but
not to be avoided. We may, and we do, deplore
it, but we must not the less resolve to meet it with'
becoming firmness and patriotism. It is not of
our seeking, but in the last extremity it must,
nevertheless, be mat as our fathers met the clash
of resounding arms, in the days that tried men's
Settle, as in a furnace of consuming fire! The
Constitution, the Union, and the Laws, are at once
the bulwarks of our security, the main-spring of
our prosperity, and the palladium of our liberties;
and they cannot be destroyed Without oenvulsions
so terrible as to leave behind them disaster and
utter desolation. This Government of thirty-three
millions of people, with a history of a century,
stretching from ocean to ocean, and shaped by the
geography of a continent, is not a bubble to be
pricked, or rope of sand to be rent in twain. Its
peaceable disruption is impossible If disrupted,
it will be amid the Storm of betties, and with the
whole heavens lurid with the glare of its confla
gration !
Fer thirty years past and upwards, a conspirney,
hardly concealed from public observation, has ex
isted in South Carolina to destroy the Government.
This mischievous purpose has, of bite years, as
sumed more definite form, and been strengthened
by the conviction that political power and material
greatness were rapidly centering in the free States
and Territories. The truant CODSIIB returns and
the election of Mr. Lincoln have coneentrated.arA
Intensified the resentments and disappointments of
Southern politicians, until finally the Southern
heart has been fired, and the Gulf Statel Are preci
pitated into actual revolution
So far has this purpose progressed that it has
penetrated the national capital, is heard in open
defiance on the floor of Congress, and holds within
its grasp the sworn officers of the Government.
Those who have taken solemn oaths to maintain
the Constitution' inviolate, and to execute the laws'
made in pursuance thereof, have...yielded to its
eyren songs of delusion or been intimidated by ire
brazen assurance and immtdemt menaces. It haa
filched from the National Treasury; 'beggared the
finances and paralyzed the industry of the country.
It bee betrayed the property of the. redpral Govern•
went into the hands of traitors, and hue corrupted
the fountains of public' morality and private virtue.
In open rebellion in some of the States, It hm
itinerant commissioners in others, and invites
revolution in an. No later than last weak it in-
Rioted that most ignoble stab upon our national
pride of hauling down our national ensign, and
witnessed its defilement beneath the feet of an in
furiated populace in the streets of Charleston. This
wee a feat which the enemies of American institu
tions bed -, never been able to accomplish and it
was reServed 'for &sr countrymen tq humiliate us
in the eyes pith° civilized world, hp dragging. in
the mire and filth of mob violence the gioriouc flag,
whose sears had never paled in the fees of the foe,
and when,' stripes had never been unfurled except
in honorable distinction.
We have to deal to-day with the same spirit of
insubordination whieh President Jackson curbed
by the exercise of his strong will, end the power
of Federal authority. The nullification heresy
was in full development thirty years ago, before
slavery—then a matter of purely Meal ooncera—e
became a part of our hationel polities. General
Jackson then predicted that thereafter tho negro,
would servo as a pretext for nullification , . arid too"
prediction has become history. Front that day to
the present the Southern mind has been occupied
with vain theories of Southern aggrandisement,
Weide of ii:Union which is really the only pro•
teotion raft in the wide world to Its peculiar insti
tutions. The storm has burst upon us, and must
be met, not by partisan appeal or violent denun
ciations, but in the stern resolve of patriotic duty.
If we had a bond of fate that the misildef would
stop where its limits are newoleftnert, we might ad
quiesoo with regret, but - without alarm. Bitt we
have no suoh security. With the loss of a single
Stone, the arch tumbles to the ground. Tho with
drawal bf a part destroys the cohesion of all that
remains. The tieoession of one State is the signal
of a catastrophe which will leave source two States
in political affinity. The only thing possible, short
of anarchy, is, the Republio, one and indivisible.
In the face of these things, true and undisputed
as I believe they must be admitted to ha, What is
the first step to be taken that suggests itself to
every patriotic, citizen—what is the first duty re
quired of every Representative of the people ?
Plainly to assert the dignity of the Government;
to viedioate the outraged majesty of the law; to
restore the static quo ante helium,/ No man's
'property—no man's life—neither our institutions
nor onr liberties ate secure, except as we maintain
the Government in its integrity and entirety.
Indications are multiplying around ns that the
bow of promise will soon span the vanit of our po•
laical horizon. We are realizing daily how strong
the Federal Union rosily is. Its foundations are
imbedded in the hearts and beat affections of the
American people—lto honor will be vindicated, if
need be, by their strong right arms, and its future
greatness and strength will bo ranted, The
emergency is calling out the qualities and in
spiring enduot which marks true statesmanship.
Firmness in repressing treason, and conciliation in
:harmonizing with tbo patriotic elements of the
country, are both needed, and in equal degree.
The Nullifiers are beyond the resole or immediate
redemption from the pit into which they have
rushed precipitately, but they may be weakened
and isolated by depriving them of, the pretexts
for rebellion, and thus the border slays States may
be arrested before they take the seine fatal plunge
of secession. The patriotism of the free States may
be relied upon to do justice to all sections, and to
concede Cho oonatitutienal rights of every State,
and thereby the Union•lovhig min of the South
will be strengthened for the conflict with the trill•
tors in their midst
I came to Washington with the determination to
unite with patriotic :and Union-loving Men in the
legislation whioh I might deem necessary tu mum
the constitutional rights of all our follow-oltisonr,
and to adjust all grievances In a fraternal spirit.
•If ever there was a time. in the history of our min
try when partisanship should be merged in patri
°three, that time is now. Fanaticism end passion
ate unsafe counsellors in this moment of the
nation's travail. As far as I know myself, I will,
while not forgetting my life long devotion to prin
ciples, endoavor,to rite aboveooneldorations of pet
ty partisanship, and' meet the momentous issues
wheel' are upon us, with calmness, and the dignity
of statesmanship. My viola •of, and my course
upon, them issuea will, in good season, bb spread
before the generous people whose representative I
am here, and if I fail to satisfy all of their eorreet
noes, I will at !tent appeal to all to judge me fairly
and accord me Sincerity of purpose.
At this immediate junoture, I am oalled on to
deal with fools and events as they now confront
us. My mind is clear that no terms pan be mado
with traitors who have acme in their hands, and
are in the actual conatnission of high crimes and
mindomeanors. To allow the Federal Government
to be mimed into humiliating concessions by con
federate treason in ono or more States, is to admit
the weakness of our system of government, to in
site anarchy, and to plunge into confusion worse
confounded. So grave an issue rises in majestic
proportion above all others that can be suggested.
To tamper with treason, to negotiate with traitors,
is to encourage renewed threats and borrow future
trouble. We meet stand by the constitutional au
thorities of the country, rebuke tuition, and put
down rebellion And in the spirit of conciliation
whioh prompted the construction of our matohleas
form of government, and which alone has upheld
it hitherto in the affeotions and renpeot of the peo
ple, we may then return to the adjustment of WO,
coition, the assertion of constitutional rights, and
the correction of the abuses Which formed the sob
joie of Federal legislation before the storm of
treason broke upon us.
Yours, J. W. KILLINGSR.

Birder Stir : I have last read, With eotto surprise,
an artiolo in this morning's (January 8) Press on
4, Tiro Duty of Pennsylvania in the PreeentCrisis "
But my surprise is not that small men should har
bor mean thoughts, or that vicious men should seek
to utter vile slanders to arouse eeetarian hate and
sectional strife, but that prudent men should give
Them publicity in a journal whose usual fairness
demands our respect and claims our support. But
what is the land and who the race that F. E P.
athirst to caiumniato? Maseachueette, the mother
bf men, if not of Suttee, needs no vindication at
my hands, the least of her devoted sons. There
she is, look at her!" But yet it becomes ne, in this
day . of our humiliation, to Lanka a confession,
though not to man. First, then, our fathers did
bring with them from their native land the narrow
prejedrees, the bigoted faith, and the strung con
sciences of their peculiar cent and of their age in
common, and as a oonseqtienoe they persecuted the
Quakers, "destroyed the witches," and banished
the Baptists But let that sent that was without
guilt in those days cast the first stone Let history
speak. A few evenings since I. attended the leo
tore of Bishop Sdapson on the preternatural, in
whloh be ehOwed that where adaseaohusetts " do-
Stroyed ono witch," Italy and France had do
etroyed thousands. But New England has long
since repented of these things, and now spreads
the olive branch ownr all religions opinions. Yet
the sins of the fathers are visited upon the child
ren, not only to the third and fourth generations,
but, by the demoniacal judgment of men, even to
the seventh—these same men at the time canting
ly quoting the Scriptures In justification of their
political faith.
But as your correspondent appeals to Pennsyl
vania, let her spook, and let Philadelphia answer.
Who founded her University, her Public Library,
}ter Hospital, her Fire Department, and put her
Post office into good working order? Who were
always active in advocating and establishing her
publics cahoots? Who brought the Berthing from
the skies, and taught electricity to convey the
thoughts of man to the uttermost parts of the
earth? Who first floated a steamboat upon the
calm' waters of the Delaware? Who whitens every
Sea with her canvas, to administer to her neaossi
ties, to her luxury, and to her pride? Who con-
Mirage her coal, and transforms her Iron into useful
tools, and curious machines? Who fills her ware
houses with goods, and her stores with merchan
dise? Who keeps open a free roil, and free work
shops, fer the downtrodden of the Old World, and
educates their children to freedom and joy? Who
are now repeating the words of Jefferson, and ad
ministering the will of Washington? And, finally,
who era now, as In the days of old, declaring for
liberty and union, now and forever? Who are
,contending for Union, amidst the traitors, but
Owes, and. Kendall, and Prentiss? and, oh! that I
:might add the name of Toucey
Ynt Massachusetts is not ohivalrous—sho has
lost her martial glory! Judge again, thou hind
Pennsylvania! More than thirty years ago, when
.the writer had just made this pleasant city his
-abode, an -.artisan in humble life told him that
'while a Massachusetts regiment
,were marching
through this oily; weary and foot-scorn, they wore
hooted and pelted kith stones by the boys, spurred
en, no doubt, by such patriots, par excellence, as
our present evangelizer, F. E. P. Yot the nation
was in suspense; . 5 patriot-soldier then, as now,
was fn peril; the national flag Was scorned and
menaced, while a party of soldiers, with renewed
vigor, were climbing the rugged mountains, and
'crossing the deep valleys of Pennsylvania ; end on
they msrohed, inspired by the deeds of their an
castors, till the broad prairies received and wed
corned their tread. And the nation was startled
into now joy—the battle of Tippecanoe was won
and the brava Harrison gave that persecuted regi
ment at Massachusetts the wreath of honor•—the
soldier's highest rated. 11.

priced at a fact that transpired during my chat
with ono of the firm. The foreseen of their binde
ry, Mr. Roserquest, who has for some thirty years
filled that position, came in with a bar of gold
valued at $OO7 44, accompanied with the assayer's
certificate. 'This amount was the proceeds of gold
dust swept up from the floor and wiped or on the
rage need by binders during three months. I was
so much surprised at this bit of economy that I
asked what tht value of their picked-up things
oniounted to in the comae of a year, and was told
that the gold sweepings wore worth about $1,500,
ihavinge from paper $5,000, shavings from paste
board $7OO, and scrape from loather slso—making
an aggregate from those four sources of $7,350 per
annum.

GreatlUnion Meeting at Elkton.
Lit a large Union meeting, held in Elkton, hid ,
on the 9th instant, the following resolutione were
unanimously adopted :
Painfully sensible of the disorders which at the
present moment of our country, and filled with
ecliedtride for the perpetuity of the blessings of
fret government, which we deire to see transmitted
to our posterity as a trust confided to no for their
benefit by our ancestors of the Revolution ; and
aware that to us, citizens of a border county of a
border State, the consequences of a dissolution of
the Union would entail evils, the bare contempla
tion of which causes unhappiness, and compared to
which, all other trials we have been called upon to
endure sink Into utter insignificance; we have met
to-day determined to throw aside all political dif
ferences heretofore separating us, and to raise our
united voices to cheer on the patriotic men of the
land in their holy efforts to avert from our country
the dire calamities with which it is threatened.
Beeession or Disunion we understand to mean civil
war, with all ire horrors and desolations—the sur
render of our once happy land to scenes of violence
and blood. Filled with these apprehensions, we
therefore
lissolee, 1. That this Government. founded by the
wisdom and patriotism of our ancestors has proved
itself a biassing to us, their posterity. Under it, de
spite the machinations of unscrupulous politicians and
us dela agitators, we have enjoyed comparative halm
nese and prosperity; we are. therefore, not disposed,
for light and transient causes, to be deprived of its ad
vantages, but esteem it our duty to hold it m our keep
ing, as a sacred cameo, for the benefit of future gene
rations
2. '/ hat we are not insensible of the injustice done as
by a portion of the people of the Northern States who
have k apt up for along' period a continued agitation of
the question of slavery, and who have wantonly inter
tared in our domestic, oorcerne, and who have departed
so far from their duty as to enact lawn in 0011alOt
our constitutional nehts. These lawn, !tom their na
ture and evident design. are an indignity toes. They
area dishonor to those who participated in their enact
ment, and a stain upon all who permit thorn to continue
to disgrace their statute books. They are void. because
they are unconstitutional. and do not even serve the
tpuarevrposueloosre wee,
they were called into being s entree
h
and is, merely to irritate and fret the
sensibilities of a people already despoiled. The dic
tates of common hpnenty demand their prompt repeal,
whilst the cultivation of a proper regard by them for
our rights is demanded by the highest instincts of pa-
Menem.
3. That the greatest safeguard of the people of the
country from civil war, enatohy, and ultimate despo
tism, is in the continued Union of these Mates; and,
holdirig these sentiments, we esteem it our tutored duty
to maintain the Union as the bulwark of civil and reli
gious liberty, and to anathematize all whose sacrile
gious hands would tear its beetle asunder.
11. That the rash conduct of South Carolina cannot but
m u ri p t o o nn
u:d y isapprovel. liar attitude towards the Fade
raj Government and her sister States cannot be defend
ad e
fair principle of propriety. Of her own act
she hoaprocipttated upon the border slave States sns
, tions of fearful magnitude and import to them ' and such
as seriously disturb the peace and repose of their ether
Wine happy Cal LIMN. tier Course Mg been taken without
eoneultanon with the people of Maryland, and in utter
disregard of. and apparent contempt of our rights ,_ sen
timents, and interests , and she has, there ore, forfeited
all elm in to our sympathy.
5 'that the right of a peopie of 4 single State to ab
aol'o themselyee at will, and 'without the m sesent of
the other Staten, from their most solemn oblicatiolia,
and hazard the,liberties and happiness of the millions
comprising this Union, cannot be acknowledged. Bush
authority is helmet, to be utterly repugnant. both to
the principles upon which the Gemmel Government is
constituted and the °Wets 'which it was expressly
formed to attain
6. That the people of Mary land are not suiferirg from
or threatened with any grievance requiring or justify
ing revolt or revolutionary methods of redress. 1. that
whatever evils now exist find their adequate remedy
by the ordinary course of administration of govern
ment and the courts of justroo, and that the converting
of the Lexislature by the Governor of this State, to
°minder the present revolutionary oenduot of certain
States. would. in our judgment, be unwise. and tend
greatly to inflame the mine mind in Maryland, shake
the confidence of the people in the Goyernment of the
United 8; Mee, end encourage the conspirators against
It. existence.
7. That the people of hlaryland are unalterably at
imbed to the Government of the United States as
°stabile - heti by the Constitution. and will adhere to it
age,nst al enemies, domestic or foreign.
fi. That we join our testimony to that of all other
Un'on-loving citizens in doing honor to Meier lender
eon for his brave and discreet notion in Charleston har
bor. we regard his movement as eenessary to the pro
Motion Of the lives of his command, and as conservative
of peace rather then itatiettve of nostilinee
O. That we will sustain James Buotianau, President of
the United States, in whatever measures . 111 may adopt
Posupport Major Anderson and maintain the supreme
