Where. the Responsibility Rests.
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

.Am I to become a sectional man, a local men, n separa

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'

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

Here, sir, are live millions of freemen in the free States

dislike it, I have an utter disgustl‘or it. I would rather
hear of natural blasts and mildews, war, pestilence and

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. Chicago or
Springﬁeld. People have stood the wild cat

the last four or ﬁve months more than twenty
new “ banks” have been established in the
State, and the "armors have got for their aplen

that. are good only so long as people will take
them. By the last reporl of the Slate auditor,
it. appears that of eighty-four such banks
twunly two had not a cent of specie on hand,
andlwemy-four others less than $l,OOO ; while,
with a circulation of ten millions. only eleven
banks had loans amounting to $lOO,OOO, and
the others no loans at all. '

Srnascs HALLUCINATION.—A very singular
instance of the hallucination to which the
human mind is sometimes subject came to our
knowledge a few days ago in such a. manner as
to leave little doubt of its truthfulness, and
under such circumstances as to make it Worthy
of mention. 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. .
