IT is almost needless to say that we do not.
agree with the author of the communication on
secession as to the possibility of a. peaceable
dissolution of this Union. While we do not.
believe that the Union can be maintained by
force, and that the attempt to coerce any single
Southern State into submission to the General
Government would increase the evil by causing
all the Southern States to make common cause
with the State attacked: still secession cannot
be accomplished without. coming in conflict
with the General Government, and the Govern
ment, or those administering it, must neces
sarily use all the means at their command to
assert and maintain its authority.
Encouraging Secession.
After having contributed largely to produce
the existing sectional irritation in the country
by straying the North against the South, the
New York Tribune coolly insists “that there
” shall be no bribing, no coaxing, no wheedling
“ those to stay in the Union who want to get
“out.” If any of the Southern States Wish
to dissolve the Union by secession, the Tribune
would bid them good bye with a- smile and a.
“ thankyou!’ In the estimation of this organ
of Republicanism, this Union is of so little
value that. it is not worth preserving at the
trifling cost of kind words and just concessions.
This indifi'ercnce to the calamity of disunion,
now menacing us, furnishes the key of that
reckless and scofling (one of the Tribune during
the campaign. When warned that the success
of the Republican party would endanger the
Union, they ridiculed the idea, not because of
its inherent improbnbilily, but because they
did not regard disnnion as a. very great calam
ity. Hence the Tribune is remarkably serene
at the prospect of secession, and counsels that
no concessions be made for the sake of pre
serving the Union.
Disrupfi; o the Republican Party.
There are ominous signs that the “irrepres
sible conflict.” will soon threaten the existence
of the Republican party. The ground swell of '
Abolitionism is already felt, in anticipation of
the demands to ‘26 made of the approaching
administration, but upon which hinge great.

lie says:
“There is but one real issue between the Republican
party and those factions who stand opposed to it. That
is the question of Slavery. There is really no other is
sue formed. The Republicans are pledged to exert the
constitutional powers of government in favor of liberty
against oppression and slum-y wherever it holds exclu-
Siva jurisdiction; and if they exert those powers to sus
tain 51:“er or the slave trade at any time 7 or in any
place, they will bring upon themselves the some dia—
pleasure of the people that the Whig, the Democratic
and the Bell—Everett parties have brought upon their
organizations."
t the close of his letter Mr. G. expresses a
belief that Mr. Lincoln will redeem his “pledge”
in relation to this matter.
When and to whom was this pledge made?
It. would be interesting to have light on the
subject. 01- is Mr. Giddings in error respect
ing Mr. Lincoln’s alleged pledge?
The Paramount Issue.
The leading Republicans difi‘er greatly as to
what are the principles of the Republican
party, no two interpreting them precisely alike.
It is true that the Chicago platform professes
to embrace a. concise summary of Republican
principles ; but when it comes to the enlarge
ment anddefinite application of the resolutions,
members of the potty have as conflicting views
as statesmen have regarding the correct inter
pretation of the Constitution. Each man sees
in the platform an explicit endorsement of his
favorite dogma, and he is satisfied that the
entire party must think as he does. For in
stance, Josnus R. Gmmucs, the father of Be
puhlicsnism in Ohio, declares with confidence
“therein but one real issue between the Re
“ publican party and those factions who stand
“opposed to it. That is the question of sla
“ Very. There is really no other issue formed.”
Now we are inclined to take the same view with
Ml” Giddh‘gs- The Republican party derived
its strength exclusively from the agitation of
“1° slavery question, and by pandering to and
stimulating the Abolition sentiment prevailing
to a greater or less degree in all the non-slave- ‘
holding States. The issue presented by this
anti-slavery party, although it may not have
been explicitly expressed in the generalities of
the Chicago platform, was that of hostility to l
slavery by every available menus. 01‘ the ;
masses of the party, probably not one in ten
ever thought of any other issue than this.—
And yet it is fresh in the recollection of the
people of this State that certain Republican
politicians of the Morton M’Michael, oily
gammon school, sought to impress it upon the
voters that the question of slavery or the cou
st-itutional rights of the South hardly entered
at all into the contest, but that the true ques
tion presented to the people for their determi
nation was the tariff~proteetion to home in
dustry. Well, thcom has been elected Pres
ident, and what follows? Is the country en
gaged in discussing the übstruse questions of
a. protective harm and free trade? Was this
the point upon which the contest hinged?
Not at all. Even the North American has for
gotton the tarifi' in its eagerness to discuss the
questions growing directly out of the slavery
issue, which it afi‘ected to ignore during the
canvass. .The absorbing question excited by
the election of LINCOLN, is not how the indus
trial interests of the country can best be pro
moted, but whether the Union can endure the
heavy blows inlicted upon it by the recklesn
and radical sectionalism of the Northern people.
The mousing politicians, who undertook thejob
of persuading Pennsylvania that the tariff was
the leading issue of the campaign, are at last
constrained to admit, by their conduct that.
slavery and the Union had something to do
with it, and that Gmmxos understands the
principles of the Republican party better than

[Communicated .]
The question is mooted—“ Can there be in this
country peaceahle secession ‘2” Various opinions
seem to be entertained on this subject. Mr. Web
ster, a host in himself, thinks it impossible. Others
think differently. The former gives no reason for
his opinion, further than the consequences that.
would ensue. But these same consequences—dis
ruption of the Federal ties between the different
States, and the weaker condition of the constituent
parts—would follow whether the secession should
be peaceablo or violent; and therefore the argu—
ment is without reason, and proves nothing. No
doubt secession of any portion of our great Con
federacy is a subject of momentousimportance, and
should not even be spoken of, excepting in a case
of as vast concern as disnnion and revolution them
selves. The destruction of the Union under the
Federal Government seems fraught with such ex
tensive mischief—blighting the hopes of every gen
uine friend of freedom in‘ the progressive move
ment of this great Republic, on its supposed hea
van-sent mission of usefulness and glory—that. the
whoio community is startled at once out of its
dream of security, and awakens, in surprise, to the
perception of danger and distress at our very doors.
But still, anxious and distressed as we may be,
we cannot shut our eyes to the fact. that secession
is before us, and that it is our duty, if in our power,
to deprive it, should it come upon us, of all the
baleful cfi-‘ects we can.
Why must a secession he necessarily violent and
accompanied with bloodshed? There will he no
fight, excepting at the will of two parties. If one
offers fight, and the other consents, there is war
fare. But if the one secedcs—thnt is, draws him
self away from another—there will be no fight, un
less that other follows him and constrains him to
fight. If, then, the South peaceably withdraws
from the North there will he no bloodshed, unless
the latter insists upon it. And hemin is the solu
tion of the whole question—whether there may or
may not be a peacenbie secession.
The difliculty is not in the question, but alto~
gather in the temper of (he parlies.
But it is insisted that the attempt at secession is
itself so grievous a wrong that it should be pre
vented hy force of arms. V
Let us look at this coolly and dispessionetely.—
The United States exist by reason of the agree
ment of the several States under what is termed
the Constitution. Each State was a party to that
agreement. Prior to that, however, the States had
been acting together, under articles of confedera
tion, as one nation 5 but these articles, which were
declared to be perpetual, were in a. few years after.
wards (in 1787) abrogated, and superceded by the
present Constitution, in which the word perpetual
is not used, nor any other word or expression
having that meaning.
‘ Now it is very manifest that if several parties
‘ enter into an agreement, for any expressed number
of years, that it is binding on each, and no one of
them can break up such a. partnership during that
r...” w;+‘\(\l‘lt ..-i u .._ -,_ -——~a“" Dill? II
the copartnership agreement contained no specifi
cation of time, its duration would be terminated by
any one of them at his pleasure. And this would
he still more manifest if there had been a previous
partnership for a time certain, which had been
cancelled between the samefpurties, to make way
, for the new agreement.
How does the same:state of things operate as
between sovereign States? The words of perpe
tuity in the first are left out of the second. And
the inference is strong, that the individual States,
in their jealousy of the strong government they 1
were forming, looked to an emergency Where that 1
strong government might be disposed to turn its
strength against some of its constituent members,
or to a period when local and sectional feelings
should create such strife and opposite interests
among them, such invasion of rights", and such
unconstitutional enactments, as we of this day be
hold.
The union of there States was c’ertainly not in
tended to bring together a. number of distinct com
munities, firr the purpose of inflicting wrong on
those that were the weaker 5 and when they would
flinch away and withdraw from the cruel torture,
hold them to it. by the iron hooks of the Constitution_
And if it was not, where is the remedy for such
ills but in the power—the legal power—of with
drawing from them. We see but one othh remedy.
And that is the repealing of those hateful enact
ments, by the Northern States, against the rights,
the peace and domestic institutions of the South.
Musm AXD Puma—Music is the language of
harmony. It is the highest. mode of articulate
expression, and its true voice ever speaks for
peace and love. The devil has taken possession
of all the best tunes, said an old divine, once
upon a time, and he might have added that he
hired all the poets too. But it is one of the
hopeful signs of this transition age that not.
only poetry and music but the general arts are
returning to their legitimate offices of advan
cing the general harmony and elevating the
general virtue. The poets, whom Horace
stigmatized as cowards and humble laudators ,
of the deeds they were disqualified to perform,
now stand like Lamartine, and Victor Hugo, 3
and J olm Bowering, and Bryant, and Longfel
low, in the vanlof liberty, and have braved
oppression and wrong; and painters, whose
grandest tablesux were of battles, now present I
to the eyes of the people, like Edwin Landseer, l
the beauties of peace beside the horrors of war. 1
Music, when attuned to the harmonies of nature,
always subdues and softens the soul. Thibaut,
the celebrated Professor of Law in Heidelberg,
relates theta. young man, his guest, who had
listened to the performance of a compositor of i
Lotti, exclaimed when he left his house, ‘f 011,
this’ evening I could do no harm to my greatest ‘
enemy.” Zwingli, the Swiss reformer, when
l‘Eproached by Faber, afterwards Bishop of
Vienna, for cultivating music, said; “ Thou
dost not know, my dear Faber, what music is;
I love to play a little upon the lute, the violin
and other instruments. Ah, if thou couldst

Madame ‘l9 Stael, “ that. nations were civilized

GENERAL NEWS.
PUZZLED CnmAnnn.—-The special correspon
dent of the Londcn Times gives an amusing ac
count of attempts of the Chinese to work the
engines of the Cormorant, the British vessel
sunk last year in the Pciho. The Chinese, it
seems, succeeded in raising the snnken vessel.
They then built a boat, into which they trans
ferred the Carmerant’s engines. But, alas,
they wouldnot work, and no one could set. them
a. going. So Sand-holin-sin sent down four
wolchmakers from l’ekin. " You are accus
tomed to machines," said he, “ set, that. harbo—
rianmachinc to work, orl will cut olf your
heads.” Thcnnhnppy watchmakers succeeded
in making the fires, and inducing the smoke to
ascend through the funnel. This seems to have
contented their tasknmster; for, though the
engines are not at work, we have no account of
the watchmakers’ decapitation.
Bxcrrnnnxr m LANCASTER Couxrx‘, Vim—AL
great deal of excitement prevails in Lancaster
county, Van, owing to some revelations made
by n. free negro: The Fredericksburg Harald
says : A slave was first arrested for making
sundry assumptions of freedom “ now that.
Massa Lincoln was elected;” but expressing
penitence, and stating thnthe was “ in liquor”
at the time, he wasdischargcd. Afterwards, a.
free negro made revelations to the efi‘eet that.
the nogroes from the upper and lower ends of
the county were to meet at Lancaster Court.-

seize the fire-arms therein, and commence an
indiscriminate slaughter of men. women ind

provided by a. vessel lying in the creek.
Axnonom on JUDGE TANEY.———“ When the Li
brary in the Capital was in flames, and clouds
of smoke were rolling out and enveloping Ihe
building, Chief J uskice 'l‘uney, of the Supreme
Court, appeared in his seat at the usual hour.
looking quite tranquil and undisturbed ‘ May
it please your Honor,’ said an officer of the
Court, ‘yvill the Court. sit to-day ?’ The Chief
Justice looked up, and coolly and significonly
asked, ‘ls the court. room really on fire?’ ‘ 01),
no. no, not yet-,’ was the answer. ‘Then wfill

did sit ; and transacted business as usual, amid
all the confusion about it.”
DIPLOMACY AND TnUTH.-—M. de Talleyrend,
when repronched by a friend for certain diplo
matic finessings usually attributed to him, re
plied : “ There is nothing in the sphere of
politics so hard to get believed as the truth.—
Whenever I have revealed the pure and simple
truth, I have always been suspected ofdissimu
lotion; I have always been believed when I
have resigned myself to the nececssity of cm
cenliug it. I predict that the first statesman
who shall have the moral com-age to avow, hour
by hour, all that he thinks and all that he
knows, will create for himselfn reputation of
being the most consummate hypocrite.”
M. Leverrier believes that the spots on the
sun’s disc are clouds in the atmosphere. His
opinion is that the sun is not a luminous body
on account of its high temperature, but that it
is a. huge solid or liquid body. surrounded by
an atmosphere. A common opinion respecting
the constitution of the sun is that it has a. lu
minous atmosphere but an opaque body, and
that the spots seen on the sun are open spaces
formed by unknown causes in the luminous at
mosphere. This subject is still shrouded in
mystery, and on this very account it excites
more general interest.

the Vermont Legislature. If that. bill doesn’t

are cured. by perseverance with
BRANDRETH-‘S PILLS,
which takes all poisqns, of whatever nature thvy may
be, from the circulation.
Mr. John Y. Hnight, Supervisor of New Castle, WBSt
ch'esfier county, New York, says, November‘ 1858 :
‘= I was, two years ago, attack ed with fever and «gum
which, notwithstmuling the best medical advice, con
tinued to sorely nlllict me for six tedious months; I be
came yellow as safi‘ron, and reduced to skin and bone.
Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As
an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six
of Brnndreth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed
to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame.
I feared the worst—their purgutive effect was dill‘ereut
from anything I had ever used or heard of. At length
this effect ceased, and I seemed lighter and breathed
freer. That evening I was indeed sensibly better and
slept soundly all night. The next day I followed the
same course, and continued to take the pills in this way
about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.” '

be confounded with any of the numerous patent medi

prepared for absorption; pleasant to the taste and natu

those, then, who are sufiering from poverty, impurity or
dßficiency of blood, and consequently with some? chronic
disease or ailment, take of this BLooD FOOl7 and be re
stored to health. We notice that our druggists have
received a supply of this article, and also of the world
renowned Dr. Earox’s Ismxrme CORDIAL, which every
mother should have. It contains no paragorieor opiate
of any kind whatever and of course must be invaluable
for all infantile complaints. It will allay all pain, and
soften the gums in process of teething, and at the some
time regulate the bowels. Let all mothers and nurses,
who have endured anxious days and sleepless nights,
procure a supply and be at once relieved.
