MONDAY MORNING, JAN. 21, 1861.
THE NATIONAL CRISIS.
These words sound well, and particularly so
in'the mouths of men who are notorious for
having preached and prayed rebellion against
the Constitution and laws, even to the shooting
down of the officers whose duty it is to enforce
them. Seek out those men who murdered the
constable Batchelder, at Boston, while endea
voring to sustain the fugitive slave law, or who
abetted or approved of the deed, or who have
been guilty of any similar crime in any of our,
states, or of abettingar approving afthe same,
or who have boasted that said law could not
and should not be enforced, and we will
guarantee that every one of those men, 'whether
clergyman or layman, is now rampant in favor
of enforcing the laws against the seceding States,
and in - denouncing any who counsel forbear
ance, delay or any such thing, in the hope of
avoiding the effusion of blood—the blood of our
brethren.
This alone is a suspicious circumstance, and
may well lead to the inquiry whether the "en
forcement of the laws" now, against the eece-
Aling States, is not the same thing in effect, or
Aoes not tend to the same end, as the wanton,
wilful, avowed and persistent violation of the
fugitive slave law, and other laws which were
intended to carry into effect the stipulations of
; the Constitution in favor. of the South. It is
:not best for sensible men to be deceived by a
name;, they should look at the thing. Let it
be understood then, for it is clear as light, that
what is called "enforcing the laws" in this
connection, is synonymous with coercion and
civil war. The Government. is now dealing,
not with individuals, or neighborhoods, or
cliques, but with States. These were sovereign
and independent when they entered the Union,
and are so still, (Republicanism itself. being
judge,) , except in' those particulars wherein
they conceded certain 'powers and privileges,
in exchange for certain other powers and
privileges, which they say have latterly been
withheld from them, notwithstanding their
earnest and oft repeated remonstrances. The
right of the seaeding :States, under such cir
cumstances, or under any circumstances, to
resume their 'former absolute independence,
(which must of course precede new alliances
with other parties or with each other,) is not a
right conceded 'by the Constitution. Neither
is the right' to "whip" them back into the
Union—"aye, whip them" back, to use the:
gentle expression of our'Pearl street eotempo
rary—coneeded by the Constitution. The
Constitution contemplated no such anomalies. •
Neither did it contemplate the wilful and per
sistent violation of its own stipulations by any
State or section, 'against the rights of any other
Suite or section, whereby its operation should
become, or be deemed, more intolerable than
the perils of secession, which is another name
for•'rviolution. The true method, we take it,
is,'to loOk at the cam as now presented, not.in
the light of the Constitution, (which, as it •
contemplated no such complication. provides•no
key for its solution,) but as a naked fact, with
which the remaining States, through the na
tional government, have to do. Call it seces
sion, or revolution if you please, but do not
belittle it by calling it a simple breach of the
laws.
It is a great movement, as they will find who
undertake to suppress it by force of arms,,
Already the States of South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi, comprising a popu
lation of near 2,500,000, have formally declared
themselves out of the Union; end if Georgia,
Louisiana and Texas, follow their example, as
it is most probable they will within three weeks
from the present date, the seceded population
will approach 5,000,000, and the area of the
seceded territory will be more than 600,000
square miles; with a sea coast greater than that
of all the Atlantic States which will then remain
in the Union. The white population of those
seven States is greater than the whole popula
tion of the United States at the date of the
Revolution, and a more heroic set of men do
not exist on the face of the earth. The ne
groes, instead of being a drawback upon the
strength of whites, as many persons at the
North seem to suppose, will be iit some respects
more valuable than so many white men, as
they can be employed to do all the drudgery of
the campaign,—the building of earth-works,
bearing of burdens, and in short, almost every
thing but the actual fighting, for which latter
service said States could easily set on foot a
quarter of a million of able-bodied men, inured to
the climate which would prove fatal to Northern
Wide Awakes who should attempt to remain
there through the hot season. But enough of
this. We will only add, that a resort to coer
cion, which appears to be the determination of
the Republicans when they come into power a
few weeks hence, will bring nearly or quite all
the other slaveholding States to the support of
these which are attacked, and thus the nation
will be divided into two parts, as nearly equal
in respect to oepulation, territory and resour
ces, as will be necessary to ensure a protracted
and terribly bloody fratricidal war.
We have already intimated our belief that
much of the zeal which is manifested among
certain classes all over the North, including ,
many notorious law-breakers, for the faithful
execution of the laws in South Carolina and
other seceding States, is only an out-cropping
of that intense hatred against the South which
thirty years cultivation has produced. At
first, such malignity is measurably satisfied by
hard words and foill imputations. But as it
becomes more fiendish and diabolical, it craves
higher.seasoned food, It longs to get at i t s
victim with a butcher-knife. It thirsts for'
blood. John Brownism affords a temporary
relief, but it is a hazsrdous business, and too
circumscribed. Murder by wholesale is what
is wanted by the etass of fanatics to whom we
allude; and a wait, which would make the
slaughter legal, [recollect their sacred regard
for law.] and not expose their own precious lives
to danger, would be just the thing. A war, too,
ostensibly to preserve the Union and enforce
the laws ! Could anything be more exactly in
point ?
But this is not all. The view of these fanat
ics is not confined to the butchery of masters
—it looks also to insurrection amang the Slaves.
It is John Brownism on a large scale. . And
what an opportunity to inaugurate it, with the
power and purse of the government to support
the movement! Already the Legislatures of
several States, including, we are ashamed to
say, the State of New York, are proffering aid,
or have resolutionebefore them for that end.—
Maj. Gen. Sandfoid has tendered the services
of his noble Division for titis inglorious busi
ness of attempting to compel by force of arms
a number of unwilling States to submit to Black
Republican rule—some specimens of which
have been Seen and felt in this city within the
last few years. Doubtless that splendid Di
vision would go to the• death for the country in
case of- a foreign invasion' but we are not, so
sure . th emey yin like the fun of bayoneting

Let us not be misunderstood. We do not

fanatical character above described. But we
do charge that all such fanatics are in favor of
coercion, i. e., war, unless there may be a few
exceptions of the Garrison-Quaker order. We

To such we have no reference in the foregoing
remarks. We wish there were more of them.

EFFECT OF THE NATIONAL TROUBLES ON EMI-
IRATION
An incidental loss sustained by the North
and West, on account of our national troubles,
will be a great falling off in the emigration for
1861. But little more than two months have
elapsed since the Presidential election; and
already the list or arrivals shows the fatal ef
fects of that sectional triumph. The number
of emigrants in the latter part of December and
up to this date in January is much less than
for a corresponding period in 1859-60; whereas,
had the average of annual increase been main
tained, it would have been at least twenty-five
per cent, more. Late European mails bare
brought back an immense number of passage
tickets which had been purchased here by for
eign -born citizens or residents, and sent as
gifts to their relations across the water. The
news of .our unhappy difficulties has frightened
hundreds of foreigners from accepting a free
passage to this country, since experience or
observation has taught them that industry can
not thrive in a nation distracted by revolution
and civil war. Many emigrants who arrived
here after the Presidential election, and who
were disappointed in getting work, have pru
dently returned to their old homes, spending
their last penny, if need be, to escape that im
pending conflict which Republican politicians
and editors talk so flippantly about; but in
which the emigrant, fresh from troubled Eu
rope, sees nothing but unutterable horror and
nro. Therefore, he goes back to the despotien,
or monarchy, of hisparent nation—preferring a
solid, thcingh a tyrannical government, to an-
archy . and mob rule.
In the ordinary course of things, the emigra
tion this year would have been fifty per cent.
larger than that of 1860, and might have
equaled that of 1856. News of our immense
• crops had been spread all over Europe, tempt
ing small farmers to sell out their barren acres
andmigrate to the bounteous West. The Ameri
can revulsion of 1857 had ceased to be a bug
bear 'to the European mind. It was generally
understood abroad that the business of this
country was on a Bound footing again. And
then, there was a universal conviction that
Europe was to be the scene of a general war
this year, in which all the great powers would
inevitably be involved. But all the prospective
advantages of emigration to this country will
be outweighed by the gloomy intelligence which
• has, by this time, been printed in every Euro
pean language, and has been privately circula
ted in a million of letters all over the continent.
Enough bad news has already crossed the ocean
to reduce the emigration one half below that of
last year. Should a civil war actually occur,
the flow of emigration will be stopped entirely;
and will not be resumed, with anything like its
former abundance, until two or three years
after peace is restored.
How shall the injury to the North and West
resulting from the temporary check of emigra
tion be estimated ? Nine-tenths of the emigrants
are healthy, able-bodied persons, frugal, in
dustrious, and, in times of common prosperity,
commence at once to add to the wealth of the
country. Most of them who have means betake
themselves immediately to the great West, buy
land, cultivate and beautify it, and• enrich
themselves, their neighbors and the State.—
Out of the 105,000 foreigners who arrived at
this port last year, it is not probable that, even
in these hard times, more than 10,500, or one
tenth, are a charge upon the community, while
the remaining nine-tenths are a clear gain to
the industrial resources of the nation. But,
though the full value of emigration can never
be ascertained, we know that every emigrant
brings an average of $65 with him. The
Castle Garden books prove this. The actual
addition to the pecuniary wealth of the country
by the emigration of 1860 was, therefore, over
$6,800,000—a sum not to be despised. Pursu
ing this view of the subject, we• find that the
two million and six hundred thousand emi
grants who have landed in New York since 1847
brought the snug little sum of $169,000,000
with them.
As an item in the long catalogue of losses
entailed upon the Free States by aggressive
Republicanism ' these facts are worth consider.

MESSAOE OF THE GOVERNOR. OM BENT:MKT.
LouisviLLE, Jan. 17.—The extraordinary
session of the Kentucky Legislature met at
Frankfort to-day.
Governor Magoffm's message asks the Legis
lature to express their approbation of Mr.
Crittenden's resolution. He says that eight
States will have seceded before their delibera
tions close; that Tennessee has referred the
whole subject to her people, and Virginia and
North Carolina are discussing the propriety of
a similar course. Missouri seems likely to
adopt a similar policy. He submits to- the Le•
gislature the propriety of providing for the
election of delegates to a convention, to assem
bleit an early 'day, to determine the future
inter• State and Federal relations of Kentucky.
In the meanwhile he would leave tie experi
ment untried to restore the fraternal relations
between the States. He recommends a con
vention of the border slave States, to meet early
in February, at Baltimore,
The Governor says that the Witty *lotion of
the seceding States does not meet with our ap
proval, but that Kentuckians will never stand
by with folded arms while those States are
struggling for their constitutional rights and
are being subjugated to an anti-slavery gov
ernment.
The Governor asks the Legislature to declare
by resolution the unconditional disapprobation
by Kentucky of the employment of force in any
form against the seceding states. He also asks
an appropriation for arming and equipping vol
unteers and the militia.
ORDERS FOR FIREARMS.
It is stated that orders were last week re
ceived at the United States armory in Spring
field, Mass., from the War Department, for the
delivery of 1,000 Maynard's primer rifled mus

military stores at New York city, and 044 of

MR. STANTON AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL, &c.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The session of the
Rouse to-day is distinguished for a declaration
from Mr. Stanton, a very promiaent Republi
can, to the effect that the laws meta be en
forced, and that United States forts must be
held by the government.
It is stated positively in intelligent quarters
that Judge Greenwood is to receive the ap
pointment. of Secretary of the Interior at an
early day.
I hear in high political circles that South
Carolina intends storming Fort Sumpter ' and
calculates upon a loss of many hundreds of
lives. "'
The collector of Charleston bas rendered his
accounts to the treasury up to the 26th Decem
ber, and paid over the balance duo to the cub
treasury at, Charleston.
It is understood that the government - wiil
give orders on sub-treasurers at. the South to
compensate mail contractors there for what
the government engaged to pay them, over and
above what they collect at the several local
post offices. The total thus paid by the govern
ment
last year in the eight cotton States was
about two million And a quarter of dollars.
The Alabama delegation will vacate their
seats on Monday, at farthest.
There are fair prospects of an executive veto
of the Pacific Railway bill, not probably so
much for alleged unconstitutionality in the pro
visions making a money appropriation for the
road within State limits ) as for extravagance
of expenditure at a period when 81 ateo arc
acceding from the Union, and financial distress
and embarrassments impending.
Governor Letcher, of Virginia, in his mes
sage laying before the Legislature of that State
the resolutions of the Legislature of New York,.
tendering the service of men and money to the
Federal Government, to coerce the Southern'
States, says
The Governor and Legislature of New York
ought to know that the sword has never recon-'
oiled differences of opinion. Military coercion'
can never perpetuate the existence of . tide,
Union. When the affections of the people are
withdrawn from the governthent, an attempt
at coercion can have no other effect than to .
outspent() the people threatened to be coerced.
Blood shed in civil strife can only enrich the
soil that must speedily. produce a harvest of
woe . * * * * *
Nothing that has occurred in the pregress of
this controversy 'has been worse timed and leas
excusable. If the Governor and Legislature
of New York desire to preserve the Union, a
tender of men and money under the promptings,
of passion, prejudice- and excitement will not
produce the result. '
At a time like this, when the horizon is over

are gathering *lose around us, and when we
behold nothing but danger on all sides, some .
little wisdom, discretion and prudence are ex,-
pected from the representativee of the peoPle. •

intensity now. It would have been far better
that these resolutions had never been ndopted.
THE OHIO•PERSONAL LIBERTY BILL.
The Ohio House of Representatives, by a
vote of 68 to 81, has indefinitely postponed a•
bill to repeal the "Act to prevent kidnapping."
Under this act, says the Cleveland Democrat,
"during the Wallington rescue trials in the
United States Court in this city, three persons,
one a Deputy United States Marshal, and 'the
others two Kentuckians, acting for the owner,
were arrested and indicted for a penitentiary
offence for arresting. a. fugitive slave under the
law of Congress for the rendition of fugitives
from service." It was framed and has the ef
fect to nullify the Fugitive Slave law of Con

urn BROOKLYN'S INSTRUCTIONS.
According to a correspondent of the New York
Times, instructions were given the commander
of the• United States Steamer Brooklyn, when
she sailed from Norfolk, to the following effect:
You are to proceed direst to Charleston har
bor, but not to go over the bar, nor come to
anchor, but lay under steam outside, and as
certain if the Star of the West has landed her
troops ; if not, countermand her orders, and
order her, with the troops, to Hampton Roads,
and also gain any information you can as to
the existing state of affairs there, and then re
turn immediately to Hampton Roads.
