platform to the very letter. When it sud

Revival of the Slave Trade.
In the light of recent events, it is easy to
detect the gross deception practiced by many
isewspiper editors pending the late Presidential
campaign, in representing that a leading pur
pose of Southern voters was to secure a re
opening of the slave trade. Now, if any State
in the South contemplated a measure of this
kind, suspicion might reasonably attach to
Georgia or Alabama ; for it was from thew
States that the reported landings of cargoes of
slaves mostly came. But what do we see ?
The State Convention, assembled at Milledge
ville, on the 28d alt„ unanimously adopted an
ordinance continuing in force all the Federal
laws in reference to the African slave trade,
after changing the form of the penalty desig
nated for their violation. In like manner the
Alabama State Convention, Jan. 29th, "adopted
resolutions instructing the Deputies to the
Southern Convention to insist upon etieh rater
sures as will forever prevent the re-opening of
the. African slave trade." By these simple
note is a _complete refutation given to the infa ,
mom charges circulated all through the North
ern States, with the sole object of influencing
the choice of President_ By the same process
deep-seated prejudices welt sown, of which we
are now reaping the bitter fruits.
Letters from Jacob /Meier on the Cribb.
In our paper of this morning will be found
the first of a series of letters over the signature
of Jacob Leisler, addressed to the people of
Pennsylvania, on the ' , tate of the country.
These letters, which were first published in the
Ptvangeoanian, are from the pen of a 'distin
guished lawyer, awl a gentleman who holds an
important official position in the city of Phila
delphia. The name of Jacob Leisler is but a
n 0,4 de plume, chosen by the writer instead of
Ida real name. These letters will well repay
the reader for the trouble of perusing them ;
inasmuch as they are written in a style that is
not only eiwto and elegant, but they 'hem. with
them !he ilypress of bold, original and plire
eophioal thinking, and treat the subject of
secession and the relative rights of the States
under the federal Constitution in a manner
that but. few minds are capable of doing.
We have said this much about these letters,
(all of which we will publish as they appear.)
in order to direct puhlic attention to them that
they may be extensively read, and the Matter
they contain may be pondered by those who
think upon the present momentous condition
of our common country. We tear that there
are to'i many men amongst us, who plod along
blindly in the beaten path of former days.
without giving to the circumstances that sur
round them, at. a time like this, the necessary
consideration to enable them to form an intelli
gent understanding of the fearful consequences
to which p►rtiaan rancor and reckless fanati
cism has brought our beloved country.
The Abolition Plot.
During the recent Presidential campaign we
oft' n warned the people that Republicanism.
with the extreme wing of that party. was only
a half way house to Abolitionism, and that as
soon as they obtained power, under the delu
sive assurance that no attack w•ts meditated
upon slavery in States where it exists, they
would proceed to develop their Abolition pro
gramme. Some of the organs of the ultra Re
publicane are already beginning to feel the
public pulse, by cautiously hinting at the pta•
bability of measures being taken to compel
emancipation in the border States. We direct
particular attention to the following extract of
a letter written by a special Washington cor
respondent of the N. Y. Tribune:
.• If the secession epidemic reaches the ex
treme border States, and the whole aqiect of
affairs becomes threatening, hidh reasons of
State may compel prompt and radical measures of
emancipation wherever it can be safely attempted.
And no one would be likely to deny that it could
be safely attempted in all the States west t,f the
river, as Well as in Wayland and
Del .ware. If secesaion forces itself upon the
Federal Government, and becomes dangerous
in its proportions and localities, the instincts
of self , preeervation, fttal the tit , t,i4il‘lo of im
perative duly, mqy require the instant abroga
tion of slavery in certain States by whatever
power can accomplish the object. If revolu
tion can be Played in no other way, it must be
met by revolution. Certainly the revolutionist
could not expect to he exempt frotn incurring
the dangers of the weapons he himself has
forged. All extensive conflagrations have to
be arrested by extraordinary and often destruct
live methods. The authorities blow up a small
district to save a large one. A little fire is
often set to stop the ravages of a great one.—
How, then, could Maryland or Missouri corn•
plain at having slavery suddenly overset within
their limit*, if the act was one demanded by high
considerations of national safety ?"
The same writer declares that "these views
" are common among all thinking men here at
" Washington ;" so they are not given as the
emanations of a heated invigination, but as
opinions common among the leading men of the
Republican party, with whom the writer is, no
doubt, in constant communication.
With the light of this hint we may begin to
see the proportions of the plot in which the
abolitionized Republicans have embarked, to
bring about the dissolution of the Union, and
the emancipation of slaves in the border States.
The first step having already been gained in
the election of LINCOLN, and the consequent se
cession of the cotton States, the efforts of this
party are now directed towards preventing such
a compromise as shall retain the border States
in the Union, and by maintaining an attitude
of rigid hostility, drive them into co-operation
with States that have already seceded. When
this is accomplished, the next movement in ex
ecution of the programme foreshadowed by this
correspondent, will be to suddenly overset sla
very in all the-States west of the Mississippi
river, as well as in Maryland and Delaware.—
And if this design can he executed upon the
plea that revolution must be met by revolution.
its authors no doubt anticipate that time and
opportunity' will enable them ultimately to
sweep slavery from ell the remaining Southern
States, and convert “brutalizet Cbattela" into
men and fellow-citizens.
We don't mean to insinuate that the entire
Republican party is cognizant of this mad
scheme, or that there is any danger of its con
summation. But it is clew that the N. Y.
nibune and its fanatical followers are driving
at something of this kind. and that they look to
maneipation in the border States as the crown
ing glory of their labors. The Tribune has
endeavored to show th..t it would be practicable
and expedient to extinguish slavery in the
border States by purchasing all the negroes at
a cost of something like a hundred millions of
dollars. When they succeed in familiarising
the minds of their readers with this ides, it
will not be difficult to pursuade them that it is
not absolutely necessary that the money should
be paid or that the consent of the States inter
ested should be obtained. These slight imped
iments to the realization of the plan, might he
reasoned away—particularly if the border
States join the Southern Confederacy. In that
event forcible emancipation might be essayed
as a measure of punishment to the seceding
Elutes. The several steps of the plot are those
clearly indicated—first sectionalism—then un
yielding firmness to induce secession—then
emancipation as a counter revolution. This is
the end which the North is constantly implored
to promote by standing firm.

FALLOW CITIZEICS :—Eloilth Caroline line de
clared herself withdrawn from her political con
nection with the United States of America, and
entitled to recognition se an independent State.
She t as organized a Government, fitted to
maintain foreign relations anti to preserve dO
- tranquility. No hostile foot presses her
soil. No Federal offieer, as SUCH, pretends to
exercise civil functions, or to execute civil
process within her territory. If not coerced
into submirsien to the Union, she is defaces a
State, whatever her de j6tre condition may be.
At present, she is at peace with all the nations
of the earth Practically, she has achieved her
Independence. It is true, that the Govern.
went of the United States has not recognized
such independence, and never may. it is pos
sible, that the Government of the United States
may see fit. to send fleets and armies, for the
purpose of coercing the people of South Caro
lina in o dependesee upon and submission to
the laws oldie Union. If, so, it is promotable,
that such military force win he met by like
force, organ zed awl acting under formal com
missions from the Government of South Caro
lina. Call the act of South Carolina, by the
name of rebellion, treason, or any other, still
the fact is that, in the coneid ration of the law
of nations, she has accomplished a political
revolution, and is. without an enemy on her
soil or an opposing Government within her
limits, a de facto Mote perfectly organised and
iu tt condition to be recognized by other nations.
Call a military attack on her, by the Govern
ment of the United States, by the name of
" enrorcement of the laws of the United
States," suppression of rebellion, punishment
of treason, coercion, or any other. it wilt still
he the employment of,military force against
an organized Government, an united people. a
de/ado State, and therefore it wilt be war. By
the laws of war, omens civilized nations, those
taken in battle, by either of the contending
parties, are regarded its, and are entitled to the
honorable treatment of prisoners of war. In
the event of a capture or a citizen of South
Caroline, in arms against. the forces of the
Unit. d States by authority of the State of
Stitith Ca olive., the name and ignominious late
of "a traitor" will be wholly inapplicable to
such captive. Should hostilities ensue be
tween the United States and the State et South
Carolina, exchanges of peisoner* must or a
rule of the warfare. An illustration of the
principle contended for is found in the history
of our revolutionary etru sgle. The difference,
in the usage then adopted by the mother
country, from that observed by her in the
Great Rebellion," is accounted for, by the dif
ference in the character of the conflict. In the
Atherimin Revolution, thirteen colonies, or
poised Govertiftiente, or de facto States, de
clared themselves independent of their political
connection with the crown of Great Britain;
their captured citizens were regarded ae
pritionere of war, and exchanged as such. In
" the Great Rebellion." subjects, without any
or with a very imperfect civil organization, as
mimed arms to overthrow an established Gov
erment and to take violent possession of its
functions. Until that was accomplished they
were traitors and liable to the doom of traitors.
Consequently, those taken in arms against the
Government, in the .• Greet. Rebellion," were
treated as tr.:Otero and net as prisoners of war.
Nor does the military inferiority of either party
effect the principle which governs the case.
In the American Revolution the inferiority of
the Colonies was so marked, Glatt emend Bar.
Boyne asserted, on the fleor of the House of
Common-, that he could suppress the incipient
movement with a single British regiment.
The simple idea involved in a consideration
of the present case, is that South Carolina is
an organised Governinent, in pt acefut posses
sion of its own .err tory, a de facto State or
nation, and that an hostile effert to enforce the
laws of the United States, within any part of
her territory, will be a national war with her.
If so, it follows, that such war must, agreeably
to the Constitution of the United States, be de
clared by the Congress of the Milted Suttee.
The Executive power, as such. cannot constitu
tionally declare war. The constitutional pro
vision, on this point, is so familiar as to render
its quotation here unnecessary. Ii is true, that
the President of the Unties States may, within
the acknowledged and actual jurisdiction of the
United States, in aid of the civilpower and to
execute civil process. employ military force, when
called on, in certain contingencies, as provided
in existing acts of Congress. But confessedly
no act of C - ingress applies to the present anom
elous condition of things in .south Carolina,
admitting that she it; Still a State of the Union.
In a somewhat analagous state of facts, during
General Jackson's Administration, to meet the
peculiar exigency of the case and to clothe th e
Executive with the requisite power, Congress
made a special legislative enactment, commonly
known as "the Force Bill," which, not long
after its enactment, expired by its own limits.
lion. The constitutionality of that act of Con
gress was greatly questioned. Such constitu
tionality was, however, never judicially tested,
because a Congressional Compromise averted
and rendered .uunceessary a resort to its pro
visions. That case was by no means as strong
attainst the employment of military force, by
the President, as is Uri present case. South
Carolina did not then wieuttie a position ou t s id e
of the Union. She proposed to nullify (as it
was termed) certain revenue laws of the United
States, whilst avowdedly a part. and a constit
uent member of the Union. She has now for
mally seceded, (as it. is termea) or declared
hereelt independent of ~the. Union. As .hoi
been shown,. her, right to do so is an entirely
different question from the fact that she hilts
dune so. Whether rightfully or not, a State
outside of and independent of the Union. South
Carolina is de fecto such a State, and her pe. ple
cannot he brought into their former political
connection with the United States, save by a
voluntary repeal of their ordinance of secession,
or their complete subjugation by the arms of the
United States and the consequent overthrow .4
their present system of Government, as estab
lished by the various ordinances of their recent
Convention. If then, without the formal dec
laration of war, or, at least, a special authori
sation of military force, by Congress, against
the State of South Carolina, the President of
the United States has no constitutional author
ity to send the army or navy of the United
States against her; the responsibility of hostile
action devolves en Congress. Scuth Carolina
has, in point of fact, withdrawn f, om the Uni
ted States, by a peaceful revolution. So far, no
fraternal blood has been shed, no horrors of
civil war have been witnessed, in effecting this
great political change in her civil condition_
The question now seism shall such blood he
shed—shall such civil strife be inaugurated,
by delibet ate and formal legislation—by the
Congress of the United States, authorizing the
employment of military force or declaring war
against South Carolina! This is a solemn, a
most momentous question. Its solution will be
without a precedent or parallel in the history
of mankind_ It will strongly affecc, not merely
the single State of South Carolina, the other
seven cotton growing States, (who are rapidly
and surely taking the same position. and will
soon confederate with her,) a I the sbtveholding
States and the prosperity and freedom of the
non-slaveholding S aces, but likewise the hopes
and destiny of mankind. The propriety and
justice of a declaration of war, by the Congress
of the United Stares. against the State of South
Carolina, will be judged, not only by existing,
but by all future generations of men. In the
event of such declaration of hostilities, fifteen
S toes, of kindred blood, lineage, religion,
pursuits, aspirations and history, will at once
be arrayed ie arms against seventeen States,
differing only in the single institution of negro
servitude, in a fratricidal strife—in a war of
national extirpation, and wend wide desola
tion. The next letter will propose an enquiry,
as to tLe existence of any sufficient ground or
reason for provoking, by a declaration of war,
against seceding States, such horrors, as the
diesolution of this Union, the conversion of its
fair fields and great cities into waste places and
scenes of riot and carnage, the erection of a
military despotism, and the consequent extinc
tion of civil and religious freedom among men.

DSSATUTION IN LONDON.—Serious Bread
Riots.—The London Mercantile Gazette of the
17th instant gives the following account of
serious bread riots in that city :
"Owing to the continuance of the frost, and
all out-door labor being stopped, the distrees
and suffering that prevail in the metropolis,
particularly among the dock laborers, buck
layers, masons and laboring classes at the east
end, are truly horrible. Tnroughout the day
thousands congregate around tee approaches
of the different work-houses and unions, seeking
relief, but it has been impossible for the officers
to supply one-third that, applied. This led to
considerable dissatisfaction, and hundreds h.ive
perambulated the streets asking alma of the
inhabitants and of the passers-by.
On Tuesday night much alarm was produced
by an attack made on a large number of bakers'
shops in the vicinity of the Whitechapel road
and Commercial road, east. They were sur
rounded by a mob of about thirty or forty in
number, who cleared the shops of the tread
they contained and then decamped. Last night,
however, affairs assumed a more threatening
character, and acts of violence were committed.
By some mew it became known, in the course
of the afternoon, that the dock laborers intended
to visit Whit echapel in a mass as soon as dusk
set in, and that an attack would be made on
the provision shops in that locality. This led
ton general shutting up of the shops throughout
the East End—a precaution highly necessary,
for between 7 and 9 o'clock thousands congre
gated in the principal streets, and proceeded in
a body from street to street. An attack was
made upon many of the baker shops and eating
houses, and every morsel of food was carried
away. A great many thieves and dissipated
eharactere mingled with the Mob, and many
serious acts of violence were committed. The
mounted police of the district were present, but
it, was impossible for them to act against so
large a body of people. Tonight another
attaek is apprehended, and much excitement
exists. The streets are thronged with groups
of the unemployed, seeking relief of the passers
by,"
FORTY MEN LOST IN THE SNOW.—An English
journal says: "Perhaps no more severe wea
ther was ever experienced on the Yorkshire
moors than that which prevailed during the
past week. The snow storms were continuous
and heavy, occasionally attended with thunder,
and in some of the valleys the drifts of snow
are still twenty feet deep, All traffic was
stopped, and the partridges and grouse were
driven off the moors by scores, and were picked
up in the streets of Malton half dead with cold
and hunger. Vast numbers of crows and other
birds are found dead. The works on the Rose
dale railway, now in course of formation, have
been entirely suspended, and the laborers
reduced to great distress. Forty of these men
WOO driven from the works to seek shelter at
the Esklitt Rots, on the bleak moors, where it
seems they were snown over and could not
escape. Their continued absence caused a
search party to set off over the moors, and by
dint of great labor a passage was made to the
huts, where, on the door being opened, the
poor fellows were found in a very exhausted
condition. They had been prisoners for two
days and nights, and had eaten their last pro
visious and used their last fuel."
MIL AND MRS. BURCH CODING TOONTRISIL
AGAIN.—It is cautiously whispered among the
familiar friends of both parties in Albany, that
Mr. and Mrs. Burch, whose divorce controversy
recently created so much excitement about the
country, are about to come together again. It
was with the view of accomplishing this end
that the further prosecution of the controversy
was taken out of. the court after Mrs. Burch
had obtained be custody of her youngest child,
and mutual friends are now engaged in effect
ing a reconciliation upon the basis indicated. It
may be that such a determination may bring
upon the heads of both the indignation of
thousands, but doubtless they were equally
imprudent in the course of conduct which finally
brought them so prominently before the public,
and consequently may well resume peaceable
relations of man and wife, without any very
great sacrifice on either side. Mr. Corning, it
is understood, will acquiesce in any satisfactory
arrangement that is acceptable to Mrs. Burch.
