Before the recent election the Republicans ridiculed the idea that the electlon of Ltncoln by a purely sectional vote. and by a minority of the American people, could seriously en‘dan ger the Union. They smiled at the threats of the South, and alleged that it was only a. game to frighten them from their propriety. We be lieve that many of the better-informed Repub licans knew better than this, and read the signs at the South oright; but the appeal to the re solntion and manliucss of the Northern masses against the alleged bullying of the South Was very powerful and cfl‘ective—so much so that we have little question that the threatening aspect of afi'ait-s at the South contributed to swell Lin coln’s majority. Men said dcfiantly—" Let us “ see whether these Southern men are in ear " nest, and bring this question of disuoion to “ the test”—and nine-tenths of those who talked in this way sincerely believed that there was Donal d -nger, and that. the South would “back “ down” as soon as boldly confronted. Had they supposed that Lincoln’s election would seriously en longer the Union, they might. have acted difl’erently. Those who put the argu ment into the months of the masses. and who read the signs of the times so as to see real danger in the future, were not deterred from driving the South to the wall, because they had learned to regard disunion as preferable to what, in the slang of the day, was called the “ domination of the Southern oligarchy ” Dis union had no peculiar terrors to them, because they contemplated it as the least of two evils. They would rather have Lincoln elected, with the certainty that. disuuion would follow, than to preserve the Union at the cost of his defeat. So when real danger comes, and there is good ground for fearing the disruption of this 0011- 3 federaey, these men are calm, even jetcnlar.— They can still laugh, and ridicule, and mock at the fears of Union-setters with as keen a relish as belore the election. They are not aston ished at the existing excitement, and if dis union comes the small remnant of their patri otism will not suffer any deep pangs of regret. ‘ But the alarming movements at the South have excitd different emotions in those who predicted immediate peace upon the election of Lincoln; and they exclaim loudly against ex aggerated reports. They would like to believe that the South is not in earnest, that there is no mason to he alarmed,_:md that. it. won’t be much of a flaud after all. Thus their time is divided in alternate attempts to disguise the Iruth, and to throw the whole blame of this excitement upon Ihe Southern States. They really fear that the wolf will come this time, but they Would like to protraet the old dream of security with the peaceful cry of “no danger.” Like sleepy semine 5 they shout “all’s well,” when the sappers and miners have perforated the ground under them. ready for the train of powder and the fatal match. We said before the election that the imposi tion of a sectional President upon the country by a minority of the people would be followed by serious danger, and that. danger is now upon us. There was some litlle excuse before the election for blinding the eyes of the people to the source of danger, but there is no excuse for denying it after it is upon us. Let us now find out the cause, and remove it forthwith, if we wish to preserve the Union. The Republi cnn party have brought this danger upon us, and if secession and civil war is the consequence they are responsible. They were warned of the mischief that would follow their sectional ism, before the election; but they would not heed it. Now they are bound to repair the damage they have done, or stand before the country as the guilty authors and promoters of the perplexities, troubles and dangers of the Union. It will not do for them to say that they have not taken any immediate steps to produce secession, and that they cannot control South Carolina. They have furnished South Carolina with reasons for secession, without which she could not occupy the position she does; and along as these reasons remain there can be no security for the Union. Let the just causes of complaint he removed, and the se cessicn agitation will cease. These causes spring from the Republican party and should be removed by the Republican party. IS PEACEABLE SECESSION POS- SIBLE? OPINION 01" MR. WEBSTER We should he‘sorry to believe that a. dissO luhon of the Umon will ever take place- We know that. governments have been destroyed, and that any one is liable to destruction; but no man of intelligence. when he comes to con sider the matter, calmly and deliberately, can an how it is possible to break up the American oonfederacy, as one would dissolve a commer merciel partnership, by mutual consent, and in peace. The hearts of the people, North and Soul h. are against it; their interests are against, it ; their personal and social relations are against- it. and, finally, the geographical con— ditions which associate them. are against it.— The Conslitution, may, indeed, be amended, as it he: been amended, whenever experience of ill imperfect- working for the great and good ends It was meant to secure, has shown wherein and how it might. be improved. But utter sub version _of the Constitution—total demolition of the Federal Union—is a thing that is so dreadful and revolting. even in contemplation, that we are all accustomed to regard it as sim ply impracticable. And it is, doubtless, be cause every one feels so profoundly, and be lien-130 absolutely, that the government is in dostrnctible, that certain rash and distempered persons, here and there, bill; so flippontly of destroying it. And they fancy they. have the right to destroy it for whatever they may be pleased to regard as 8. sufiicient, reason for! breaking up a grand and beneficent. political 1 system. with little more concern for the conse quences than than with which a, spoiled and peevish child demolishcs 'a. toy. We surely cannot be wrong in supposing that the Union is Stronger than 'thc passions of a. compara- Lively few madman in any section of the coun— I try. ‘ Certainly the great mass of (he popuhl- 3 Lion of those States would not suffer them to be 1 dissevered for “ light and transient. causes.” or, Q indeed, for any cause that. may be corrected by less violent and disastrous menu‘s. But, be all this as it may. the idea ofpnucea blc revolution is preposterous. The Union can not be dissolved without war in the beflinnin or war in the end—war as the immediate or consequent effect. On this point, Mr. Webster bus spoken so forcibly and impressively, that we shall quote here the following extract from the great speech delivered by him in the Senate, Match 7111, 1850, in favor of the “ Compromise measures” of that year. He said: Mr. President—l should much prefer to have heard, from every member on this floor, declarations of opin ion that tnis Union could never be dissolved, than the declaration of opinion by anybody, thst, in any case, under the pressure of any circumstances, such a. disso lution was possible. I bear with distress and anguish the word “Secession,” especially when it falls from the lips of those who are patriotic, and known to the coun. try, and known all over the world, for their political services. Secession ! Penceable secession! Si r, your eyes and‘mine are never destined to see that miracle.— The dismemberment of this vast country without con vulsion! The breaking up of the fountains of the great deep without milling the surface! Who is so foolish (I beg everybody-'5 pardon) as to expect to see any such thing! Sir, he who sees these States now revolving in harmony around a. common centre, and expects to see them quit their places and fly off without convulsion, may look the next hour to see the heavenly bodies rush from their spheres and jostle against each other in the realms of space, without causing the wreck of the Uni verse. There can be no such thingas a. peaceable seces sion. Peucenble secession is an utter impossibility. Is the great Constitution under which we live, covering this Whole country, is it to be thou-ed and melted away by secession, es the snows on the mountain melt under the influence of a. vernal sun, disappear almost unob served, snd run oil"? No, Sir! No, Sir! I will not state whet might produce the disruption of the Union , hut, sir, I see as plainly as I see the sun in heaven what that disruption 1331! must produce ; I see that it must produce war, and Such a. war as I will not describe, in its twofold character. l‘eeceable secession! Pence-able secession! The con current agreement of all the members of this great re public to separate! A voluntary separation, with ali mony on one side, and on the other. Why, what would he the result? Where is the line to be drown ? tht States are to secede ‘! What is to remain Ameri can? What um I to be? An American no longer I’ .Am I to become a sectional man, a local men, n separa tist, with no country in common with the gentlemen who sit around me here, or who fill the other house of Congress? Henve. forbid! Where is the flag of the Republic to remain ‘3 Whereis the eagle still to tower! —or is he to con-er, and shrink, and full to the ground ? Why, sir,’ our ancestors, our fathers and our grand fathers, those of them who are yet liviux: amongst us with prolonged lives, would rebuke nod reproach us; and our children and our grandchildren would. cry out shame upon us, if we of this generation should dishonor these ensign: of the power of the government and the harmony of that Union which is every day felt among us with so much joy and gratitude. Whnt is to become of the army? What is to become of the navy? What is to become of the public lands. How is each of the thirty Stats-es to defend itself? I know, although the idea. has not been stated distinctly, there is to be, or it is supposed possible that there will be a. Southern Gon— federaey. Ido not “10!“, when I allude to this stute ment, that any one seriously contemplates such a slate of things. I do not mean to say that it is true, but I have heard it suggested elsewhere, tlmt the idea. has been entertained, that, after the dissolution of this Union, a Soutueru oonfederncy might be formed. lam sorry, sir, that it has ever been thought of, talked of ,01' dreamed of in the wildest flights of human imagination But the idea, so far as it exxsts, must be of a. separation, assigning the slave States to one side,:lnd the free States to the o-her. Si r, I may express myself too strongly, perhaps, but Ihere are impossibilities in the natural as Well as in the physical world, and I hold the idea. of a. separation of these States, those that are free to form one government, and those that are sluve-holdingto form another, as such an impossibility. We could not sepa rate the States by any such line if we were to draw it. We could not sit down here w-day and draw a. line of separation that would satisfy any five men in the coun try. There are natural causes that would keep and tie us together, and there are social and domestic relstzons which we could not break if we would, and which we should not if we could Sir, nobody can look over the face of this country at the present moment, nobody can see where its populo tinn is the most dense and growing, without being ready to admit, and. compelled to admit, that are long the strength of America. will he in the Valley of the Missis sippi. Well, now, sir, I beg to inquire what the wildest enthusiast has to any on. the possibility of cutting that river in two, and leaving free States at its source and on its branches, and slave States down near its month, each forming a separate government? Prey, sir, let me any to the people of this country, that these things are worthy of their pondering and of their consideration Here, sir, are live millions of freemen in the free States north of the river Ohio. Can anybody suppose that this population can be severed by a. line that divides them from the territory of a. foreign and an alien government, down somewhere, the Lord knows where, upon the lower banks of the Mississippi? gl'hat would become of Mis souri? Will she join the’arandissmeur of the glove States ? Shall the men from the Yellow Stone and the Platte be connected, in the new republic, with the men who lives on the southern extremity of the Cape of Flo rida! Sir, I nmnshmned to pursue this line of remark. I dislike it, I have an utter disgustl‘or it. I would rather hear of natural blasts and mildews, war, pestilence and famine, than to lieut- gentlemen talk of secession. To break up this great government! to dismember this glo rious country! to astonilh Europe with on not of folly such Is Europe for two centuries has never beheld in any government or any people! No, sir! No, sir.— There will be no secession E Gentlemen are not serious when they talk of secession. uWILD CAT” Bums Ix ILLxxol3.—-The next Illinois Legislature is to be called upon to give the State a sound banking system, wilh a cash basis required and redemptions at.

The case in question is that of a monomaniac, for he can be called by no other name, who has for several months been engaged in the pursuit of a fortune through the medium of chemistry and alchemy in the effort to convert into precious stones some of the clear, flint-like agates and cornelians of the Lake Superior region. The operator is a chemist’s clerk, who came here from New York. His name is James Huse, and he is a Prussian by birth. a silent, morose man, 'of uncongenial and solitary disposition. It seems that while operating in his employ er‘s laboratory in New York he made some ac cidental discoveries which led him to believe that. our native flinls, agates and cornelians could be crystalized, purified, and hardened to such an extent. as to make them of a consistence nearly if not quite equal to diamonds both in point of brillianoy and hardness. He came here seven months ago, bringing with him about $l,OOO of hard earned savings, and set himself about the realization of his chimera. Visiting the Lake Superior regions he spent two months in collecting specimens, traveling on f-zot. over the mountains and along the beach, and sleep ing in a blanket by night. He returned with the finest collection of native stones ever brought from Lake Superior, built his furnace in an old house in the upper part of the city, near the outskirts, and alone and unattended bent over the fires, mixed his chemicals, and watched day and night for the results. No one ever had access to the house, and an insepara ble air of mystery always surrounded it, and but for a very natural accident the occupation of the inmate probably never would have been known. . ' One day last week, some'boys, playing around the house, discovered smoke issuing from the crevices in the window shutter, and gave the alarm. There was nobody near but some women belonging to the families of the laborers who were absent, and these, by the aid of heavy sticks and cord wood, burst the door open, and found a fire gaining rapid headway in one cor her of the solitary room which the house con tained. This was easily extinguished, when the inmate was found lying on the floor one pile of straw, fast asleep. Overcome by fatigue and watching, he had fallen asleep while waiting for his chemicals to mix in a crucible over a flir nace, and the fire had comunicated with some charcoal lying near by, and consumed at coh siderable portion of the floor. He was neaxfly stupefied by the charcoal gas and the cloudsof smoke that filled the house. Without vouch safing any thanks, he ordered theintcrlopers all out of the house and closed up the doors. Pei)- ple began to suspect counterfeiting operations, and in the‘ evening he was again visited byéa number of his neighbors, who again burst his door in and demanded an explaination. Ile gave it—showed his apparatus, his chemicah, a hydraulic hand press, and a half a bushel )r i more of disintegrated agates, some of whie‘h were burned, others showing the action :jf acids, which seemed to have eaten out the in purities and left the flint as clear and transpi rentas crystal, which was, doubtless, the ace:- est he had come to the perfection of the sparr lingdia‘mond He was irritated beyond measure by the intrusion, and showed no civility. lie, shoved the last man out of doors with a. force: which sent him reeling down the steps, lockd his door, and the next morning was gone, leav‘ ing no trace except a few smoked bricks whicl, had composed his little furnace, and the pile (f -straw which had made his bed. ' ' Whether he had gone to' some more undis-1 turbed locality to pursue his chimera, or givel; it up and returned'to the World and commm; sense, can only be surmised. He was ehideml; 7. wrapped up in a delusion which absorbed everj'. faculty and swallowed up all reason. H ; seemed to be sensible on all other topics, an! gave his name and told his story in a perfecll: rational manner.—Har{fard Pram. . FURTHER HEAVY Movminms IN AGRICULTU2 mu.
