WEDNESDAY MORNING. JAN. 2, 1861
THE. NATIONAL CRISIS.
THE PERSONAL LIBERTY BILL TO DE REPEALED
IN RHODE ISLAND.
Governor Sprague, of R. 1., has written a
letter, in which he says :
The Governor of Rhode Island goes heart
and hand for the repeal of the so-called Perso
nal Liberty bills of his State, though they are
Only unconstitutional in spirit.. The Legisla
ture, which meets in January, will, without
hesitation, repeal them, not from fear or cow
ardice, but from a, brave determination, in face
of threats and sneers, to live up to, the COnsti
tution and all its guarantees, the better to
testify their love for the Union, and the firmer
to exact allegiance to it from all others.
COERCION AS VIEWED BY A REPUBLICAN
The Indianapolis Journal, the central organ
of the Indiana Republicans, takes a very sen
sible view of the policy of coercion, as advoca
ted by the radical Republicans, to prevent se
cession. In its last Thursday's issue the Jour
nal makes the following remarks on the point :
"You cannot compel friendship and frater
nity, and if the Union is not a friendly one it
is nothing, If it is not held together by love
for it and trust in its benefits, it is no Union,
whatever else it may be. The government will
be weaker for it; the nation must be poorer
for it. It will cost us much and give us noth
ing. A subjugated province is always an ele
ment of weakness, and not unfrequently a door
for ruin, until the exasperation of defeat and
humiliation have had time to wear mit, and a
generation arises that has forgotten' the past in
present blessings. Fight the Gulf States to
compel them to love us well enough to stay
with us! This is the absurdity at the bottom
of coercion. The countervailing argument that
the Union must be preserved is no argument at
all, because the Union is not preserved by a
war. If it were, we would see the wisdom of
coercion at once. The Union, in its very life
and essence, is broken to pieces by a war, and
it is hopelessly broken. Peaceful. separation
does not break the Union half so utterly and
irremediably as coeraion, for time will soon
teach the slave States the folly of disiution,.and
bring them back, while a war will put an im
passable gulf of blood in the '*atof a return
forever."
POSITION OF HON. C. M. CONRAD. •
Hon. C. M. Conrad, Secretary of War under
President Fillmore, addressed a southern rights
meeting in New Or leans a few evenings since.
The. Bulletin, in reporting his speech, says
He could not see how any sane man =could
hesitate about the alternative that was left.-
-They were oalled ou for sympathy for the - Its.
Han, but so help me God, said the speaker, I
would rather he a Spaniard or an Italian, than
be an American and live under a chief magis
trate selected by the Republican party. He was
for prompt and energetic action, and believed
the best way to obtain co- operation was by the
States acting separately. He begged all to lay
aside party distinctions, and the differences
growing out of peat political struggles in this
community. It was impossible that such a
• cause as theirs should not triumph.
THE CABINET STILL UNDECIDED IN REGARD TO
• THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORTS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.—No decisive action
was taken by the Cabinet to-day relative to
the Charleston forts.
The President's special message will proba
bly be transmitted to Congress on Wednesday.
It is understood he will submit such facts as
have come to his knowledge for such legisla
tive action as may be considered necessary
concerning the secession movements.
Senator Hunter intends introducing a reso
lution having in view an adjustment of the
property, and other questions with any sece
ding State.
Mr. Treacott, Secretary of the South Caro
lina Commissioners, will leave Washington for
Charleston to-morrow. The commissioners
will remain to await executive and legislative
action.
There are almost any number of
. wild and
improbable rumors in circulation, which, as
they only serve to excite the public mind, are
deemed unworthy of repetition.
MORE RUMORS
According to a Washington letter, there is
some fear of trouble at Harper's Ferry, (Mr.
Boteler's district, and the point of John Brown's
invasion,) growing out of the news from Charles
ton, and the fact that the government armories
are there. Hon. A. R. Boteler, representative
from the district, is said to have received a
letter similar to the one, it may be remembered,
received at the War Department on the night of
the John Brown raid, in which the writer pre
tends to expose a plot for another inroad into
Virginia, in which a force of seven thousand
men are enlisted. These rumors we give for
what they are worth—and that is, probably,
very little.
WASHINGTON RUMORS AS TO THE APPOINTMENT
OP A SUCCESSOR TO SECRETARY FLOYD.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The report which
prevailed throughout the city this afternoon,
that 'Lieut. Gen. Scott had been appointed
Secretary of War, ad interim, produced a thril
ling effect, and occasioned much indignation
among the secessionists, who are fully aware
that Gen. Scott is in favor of extensive military
preparations. The truth is, Postmaster-Gen
eral Holt is'in temporary charge of the War
Department, and to-night was attending to
duties there in company with the chief clerk.
Gen. Scott has not been either at the Depart
ment or President's house to-day.
Both Secretaries, Thompson and Thomas,
were at the Cabinet meeting to-day, though
rumor had declared otherwise. Many reports
prevail, with no truth for their foundation,
and which serve only to add to the already
intense excitement.
THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
By the old law the regular U. S. army con
sisted of about 18,000 men. Under a law
passed in 1850, authority was granted which,
with fall regiments, would make a total force
of 19,000. This small force is now scattered
over the vast territory of the Union ; some in
Utah, keeping the Mormons in order ; others
in Oregon, California and Washington Terri
tory, fighting the Indians; and some in Kan
sas, looking after Montgomery and his "Jay
hawkers." But we hear of very few located
at the South, and it would probably be a diffi
milt matter to concentrate a large force in that
region, except of volunteers, without some
weeks, or perhaps even months' notice.

[From the Journal of Commeraej
in one of the great speeches'of Lord Ei4ikine
there is a beautiful and true remark, .to , tha
effect that there is nothing valuable, whether
in science, art, morals, religion, or anything
else, that can be acquired without exertion.—
Not only are patient toil and study requisite
for progress in all knowledge and every pursuit,
even in that which is most necessary to human
existence, but also in all that concerns a man's
duty in. this Jiff! and destiny hereafter.
This is as true in the experience of nations
as of individuals. What a painful and long
continued training those nations-, have been
compelled to pass through which haye reached
either eminence in true civilization, ar excel
lence in civil and political government! ' The
history of the world presents no exception to
this general rule. Look at England. How
crooked and thorny was her pathway from the
reception of the Magna Charts.. at Runnymede
in 121E4 to the Revolution of 1689 and the ac
cession of William and Mary, when the Consti
tution may be said in a good degree to have
become a well defined and consistent compact.
Her subsequent history shows; that all was not
attained, even iA that great event, -which was
desirable and necessary. England has been
making her political education during almost
six centuries and a half; nor has she completed
it.yet.
flow much Swecdeft has yet tO learn, every
one 'who is acquainted with the COnstitution of

made great advances, but even she (and. She
differs but little more than in name from what
she wee when a Republic) is far from having
reached the character. of a p4rfietgovernm4nt,
Hungary, the oldest constitutional State -in
Europe, would probably have made great pro
gress had she not been forced to serve as a
barrier to defend Christendom against the
bloodthirsty Turks for almost three centuries,
and fallen finally into the cruel embraced the
House of Hapsburg. As to Switzerland; she
made scarcely a step of progress beyond the
merest elements of political science, until within
the last eight or ten years. France, as a nation,
has learned a little, and that little within the
last seventy years, notwithstanding her dread
ful experience, and notwithstanding the great
theoretic science in government which many
of her writers have displayed. Belgium, with
a small homogeneous population, has done
better. •
Italy is not, going to prove an exception to
the position which wehave taken. In our ex
uberant joy at 'witnessing the guecessive over
throw of Austrians, Austrian Dukes and Nea
politan Bourbons, we jumped to the Conclusion
that Italy was redeemed and free. Alas, we have
little known what it costs to give nations good
constitutional forms of government., anti make
them beer them with ease and contentment.—
Already do we see in Tuscany the manifestation
of a desire for Tuscan independence. The an
nexation of the Duchy to the kingdom of Sar
dinia has destroyed the hopes of many, and
among them those of Sig. Montanelli, who
might expect to play an important part in a
separate Duchy, but who can be 'nothing more
than an honorable citizen in a Kingdom of Italy.
The same spirit shows itself in Naples, where
already the Sardinian yoke has become irksome
to many. The cry is rot exactly for the restor
ation of Francis 11., who unfortunately is not
yet dislodged from - Gaeta, but for .some change
or other. The professed friends of Garibaldi
are clamorous for his return to power in Lower
Italy. It is quite possible that Victor Em
manuel will be compelled to yield to this de
mand. It is extremely doubtful whether the
King, popular as he is himself, can long dis
pense with the services and influence of the
popular military chieftain. Neither Parini at
Naples, nor La Farini in Sicily; can ever, it is
probable, have the hold which Garibaldi as en
the people of both. His presence will, we fear,
soon be needed in both. In the meanwhile,
Joseph Illazzini and his folloWers are doing all
they can to undermine and ruin the government
of Victor Emmanuel in Naples.
It is evident that between the driving away
of Francis 11., and Pius IX.,
and the rendering
homogeneous 23,000,000 of Italians and com
pletely reconciling them to his sway, Victor
Emmanuel will have his hands full far a good
while, without attacking Venetia.
SLIGUT VOCAL MISAPPREUENVON. — The bore
