THE NATIONAL CRISIS.
ORGANIZATION OF THE NEW CONIMDERACY
The adoption by the Southern Congress of a
Constitution, and the election of officers for a
Provisional Government, change in some degree
the aspect of the secession question, and give
to the movement a more stable character.—
Instead of several States acting separately and
individually, in hostility to the authority and
laws of the United States, we have now to en
counter a Confederation of six States under a
single government, to be hereafter—if the
action of the Congress shall be ratified by the
several States which are parties to the Confed
eration—directed by a single purpose, and
united in a common object, to secure which, all
their combined energies *ill' b 6 put forth.
We regard this -new. phase of the question as
in some respects better than the . old ; likely to
conduce to more prudent "action; and to les3 en
the danger of warlike movements which may
be made in either section .. of the Union. It
establishes a Government possesling consider
able resources and much military strength, but ,
not sufficiently so to prompt its officers to rush
madly into war, or to engage in, hostilities in
any form, until peaceful remedies shall first
have been exhausted. It places the seceding
States, not as heretofore, in an attitude of
desperate and rash exasperation and defiance,
but in a position for deliberation, for counsel,
and for testing the public judgment of other
nations, respecting their policy and course.—
It places upon them a weight of responsibility
Which eanunot but prewete caution and en
gender prudence in the action which the new
Confederacy will be called upon to to e, in
seeking to acquire a place and a rank among
the nations of the world,
It is probable that the organization of a
Southern Confederacy will have the effect to
postpone at least, any hostile demostrations
against Port Sumpter arid the other Southern
fortifications in possession of United States
troops. It would neither comport with the
dignity, nor redound to the interest of the
South, to proceed at once to attack such forti
fications; and we may be assured that such a
policy will not be adopted—certainly not until
negotiations shall have failed, and the ability
to procure a recognition of the new government
proved abortive. We anticipate an effort on
the part of the authorities there, to establish
a rank and position by peaceful means, and to
obtain, if possible, from the United States and
from other powers, an acknowledgment of their
indepondence and separate existence. Such a
policy I§ dictated by every sense of interest,
humanity and statesmanship. It would be
looked upon with greater favor than would any
belligerent attitude, both here and throughout
the world ; and might secure the end desired—
the separate and independent establishment of
a Southern Confederacy, embracing the present
seceded States and such others as may choose
-te-Aoin4l,4eir-,fartaukaa-witit,granz—fax.4steih
purpose.
There is of course no security that war will
not sooner or later ensue between the seceding
and remaining States ; but we deem its proba
bility, at least for the present, materially
lessened by the confederating together of those
States which have determined to cast their
fortunes into the secession movement. As a
last and terrible resort; in ease no concessions
are made on one side and no abatement of pre
tensions on the other, an appeal to arms may
be made, and then will be realized, in the
fullest measure, the horrors of a civil war.
The possibility of such a calamity will depend
in no small , degree upon the men at the head of
the respective governments; and the occasion,
therefore, is one for the exercise of the utmost
wisdom and forbearance on the part of both.
The near approach of Mr. Lincoln's inaugura
tion, renders it probable that so far as the
United States Government is concerned, the
issue will be left for the new Administration.
How it will be met—whether in a spirit of con
ciliation and moderation, or in a tone of defi
ance and menace, it is at present impossible
to determine. There are strong reasons to
hope that the policy of the Lincoln Adminis
tration will be peaceful ; and we shall take
great pleasure, should such be the case, in
according to it all the merit which such a pol
icy would elicit, from patriotic and peace
loving citizens. In adopting ouch a course,
the President elect we cannot doubt, will have
the encouragement and support of a large por
tion of his own political party,—of that portion
whose moderation and good sense are stronger
than their passions and partizanship—and the
approval of a vast majority of the 'people of
the whole Vision. The anti-compromise, anti
slavery, Abolition branch of the Republican
party, will of course denounce such a policy,
possibly to the point of dismembering that
political organization ; but that will be of small
moment to the country, so long as the public
honor shall be maintained, the public peace
preserved, and 4he evils, horrors and demoral
ization of a civil war, avoided.
The choice of provisional officers to preside
over the new Confederacy, fills us with admi
ration for the wisdom and good sense of the
Southern Congress. If in this they have re
flected, as we see no reason to dispute, the
views and wishes of their constituents, we hail
the omen as one of the happiest. attending the
secession Mvement. If we must encounter
a rival government upon soil hitherto common
to every Amercan citizen, we greatly prefer
that it should be one controlled by statesmen of
ample experience and ability, such as have been
chosen to control the destinies of the Southern
Confederacy. It is the weak and the incompe
tent who plunge their people into war, and
precipitate its terrible calamities. Statesmen of
larger calibre, better appreciate and understand
the blessings of peace, and labor more intelli
gently and effectively to preserve them. The
selection of Jefferson Pavia .for President, and
Alexander H. Stephens for Vice . President of
the "Confederate States of America," is a step.
which will go far towards the acOomplishment
of the object in view—the establishment of an
independent government. General Davis is a
statesman of great power, combining in an un
usual degree, the 'various qualifications for his
new position. He is efficient in action, cool in
judgment, firm in purpose, and conscientious
in his opinions. He is not by any means the
fire eater which many, orthern presses have
represented him;
and we are not sure that he
has any superior for the first office in the gift
of any people on this Continent. For Vice
President, the Southern Confederacy has a man
who less than two months ago, was pronounced
by the entire Republican press, a patriot and
fie
s -
..pf the first order ; a moderate,
honorable r its

a_.ans: were ei'4 l 3
some degree ignorant of, his position, or what
is more probable, governed by partizan malice,
their general estimate of his character was
quite correct. He deplores the necessity for
secession, and has favored an appeal to the
justice of the North, before taking the haul
step ; and we have no doubt that - both he and
General Davis would have been infinitely better
pleased to preserve the Union unbroken, than
thus to be made leaders in its dismemberment.
We intimated in a former article, that Mr.
Lincoln, on his accession to power, was likely
to find a government fully organized, claiming
supreme jurisdiction over a portion of the
States, and that such government was quite
likely also, to possess vastly greater ability
and vigor, in its Executive department, than
the remaining government of-the United States.
The sequel shows the correctness of our predic
tion ; and the fact will prove painfully true
before the close of the next Administration,
should Mr. Lincoln listen to the counsels of the
rash and anti-compromising wing of his party.
This he ought not to do. With the alternative
before him of peace and the happiness and
prosperity of thirty millions of people, or war

he ought not for a moment to hesitate in the
choice.—Journal of Commerce.
TICE AUTUORITATIVE COERCION PROGRAMME
OF MR. LINCOLN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION—
Cr? IL WAR UPON US.
[From the N. Y. Herald.]
The bells of Bt. Germain d'Auxerrois have at
length tolled forth the signal for massacre and
bloodshed by the incoming administration.—
The speech of Mr. Lincoln, at Indianapolis, is
the first authoritative proclamation of his in
tentions in the present crisis. His words are
pregnant with meaning, and deserve the ma
ture and deliberate consideration of every con
servative citizen of the country. "If the Uni
ted States," he exclaimed, "should merely hold
and retake its own forts and the properties, and
collect the duties on foreign importations, or
even withhold the mails from places where they
are habitually violated, would any of these
things be invasion or coercion ? Would the
marching of an army into South Carolina be
invasion ?" The Premier of Mr. Lincoln had
already declared to the United States Senate
that "battle," which should sweep away oppo
nents to Republicanism "as moths before the
whirlwind," was his idea of the final develop
ment of the "irrepressible conflict." And, by
a well calculated coincidence, on the same day s
perhaps at the same moment that Mr. Lincoln
was indoctrinating the citizens of Indiana into
invasive and coercive principles, Senators King
and Fessenden were announcing, at Washing
ton, their reasons for reinforcing the navy of
the United States with vessels which should be
able to penetrate Southern harbors, and attack
Southern fortresses.
" Treason " says Mr. King, "is abroad in
this land, and I believe there is an occasion and
a necessity of the increase of the armament and
the power of the country. But for the condi
tion of things in the country now, I would vote
against it, but I vote for it as a measure to put
the country in a condition to defend itself
against its enemies, whether they are domestic
or foreign enemies. This government and this
country cannot be peaceably destroyed or over
thrown or divided, Men cannot talk treason—
they must act it; and he who acts it, in my
judgment, should take the fate of a traitor, and
should not seek to escape by pretending that
he cannot commit it peacefully against the
country. I tell these gentlemen that, in my
judgment, this treason must come to an end,
peacefully I hope, but never, in my judgment,
peieefttlirlfliSr` an MN:Masi - 6n of
the honor of the people of this country to tral.
tors. Never. I desire , peace, but I would pro
vide, amply provide, for the means of defence
of the country, by war, if necessary.
senator Pessendon was equally positive in
deciding "that if the time was coming to use
force, he was perfectly ready to do it." Where,
then, does the ,country stand ? Gov. Morgan
offers the militia df New York to Mr. Lincoln, •
and a large sum of money is appropriated by
the State Legislature for coercive purposes ;
the authorities of Massachusetts mobilize their
forces to act outside of the State ; Pennsylva
nia avenue is turned into a Champ de Mars;
Generals like Wool, Sandford, Scott and
Weightman are sharpening their swords for
bloodshed; members of the Cabinet isete in
structions to "shoot on the spot" active sece
ders, and every preparation is being made for
the inauguration of sectional hostilities, after
the 4th of March next. It is declared that the
Southern seceding States must prepare for a
blockade of their ports ; to surrender the fort
resses they have seized upon, and to fall back
into the passive submission which Republican.
aggression has demanded for over thirty years.
In the present deplorable condition of the
country, is this the right policy ? Is it expe
dient? The Southern Congress, at Montgomery,
offer the hand of friendship to the North, on
such terms as they believe to be consistent with
its dignity. They have provided, in the sixth
article of the Constitution of the Southern
Republic, that its government "shall take im
mediate steps for the settlement of all matters
between the States forming it and their late
confederates of the United States in relation to
the public propel ty and public debt at the time
of their withdrawal from them, these States
hereby declaring it to be their wish and earnest
desire to adjust everything pertaining to the
common property, common liabilities and com
mon obligations of that Union upon principles
of right, justice, equity and good faith." To
all this the Republican party answer—" Submit
to the abstractions of the Chicago platform, or
there shall be no alternative but war—a bloody,
internecine, destructive conflict, which shall
bury in ruins the prosperity of the country."
Sober minded, patriotic citizens at the North,
have no time to lose,if they would avert irre
parable disaster. eetings should at once be
held in every city, town and village of the
Union, proclaiming, first of all, as an indispen
sable, irrevocable preliminary, the resolve' of
the people to maintain peace, and, nest their
desire to aid in the work of reconstruction,
which the exigencies of the time imperatively
demand, The declarations of Mr. Lincoln, of
his Premier, and of the Republican Senators
and members in Congress, have rendered clearer
than noonday the suicidal intentions. of the
incoming government. They are founded upon
the gigantic scheme of General Scott for the
subjugation of the South, which was .exposed
by the Congressional representatives of Louisi
ana, in their address of the 14th ultimo, to the
Convention at Baton Rouge, and which includes
the garrisoning of Southern forts and arsenals,
the marching of forces into the seceding States,
with a - view of employing them for domestic
intimidation.
The Republicrn party is only awaiting, in
fact, the close of the present Aministration to
clothe itself with the panoply of vow, and to
initiate acts of aggression, which it fills the
mind with horror to contemplate. Imagination
Cannot coneeive the disasters that will over
whelm the land, if an appeal is permitted to

problem which the developements of the last

in that important body, and we think it may
be affirmed that they have scarcely ever been
equalled by the same number of persons as
sembled in any representative capacity in our
country, from the beginning of its history, in
respect either to the distinguished posts its
members have filled, or in the qualities of ripe
experience, wisdom, dignity, and weight of
character. This fortunate composition of a
body chargedwith a mission of momentous im
portance is duo in a great measure to the mode
of their selection. Not chosen by popular elec
tion or party favor, fitness for the high trust
was alone consulted. The consequence is that
we have from all the States the sagest of their
citizens, if not in every case their oldest. There
may be found among them a venerable Ex-
President of the United States, Ex-Cabinet
Ministers, Ex-Foreign Ministers, Ex-Senators,
Ex-Members of the House of Representatives,
Ex-Chief Justices of State Courts, Ex-Chancel
lors, a Governor and Ex-Governors, Ex-Attor
ney Generals, &c. May we not confidenly hope
from the counsels of such a body of men, ani
mated by love of country and deep affection
for the noble fabric of Union and Government
founded by their immortal fathers, a solution
to our present perilous difficulties and the res
toration of peace and harmony to our distracted
and suffering country ?

THE LATE ELECTION IN VIRGINIA.
Then is doubtless a misapprehension in
many minds at the North, RS to the results of
the recent elections in. Virginia and other bor
der slaveholding States. Or rather, as to the
force and meaning of those results. Those
persons greatly err who imagine that Virginia,
or any other slaveholding State, will remain in
the Union, without renewed guarantees that
they shall enjoy without abridgement the rights
secured to them by the Constitution of the
United States. Hear what the Richmond Whig,
the organ of John Minor Botts, and one of the
most Northern papers in Virginia, says on this
bead :
WHAT WAS DETERMINED BY Tin LATE ELSO
TioN.—We regret to see, from many of our
Northern exchanges, that the import of the late
election in this State is, to a large extent, mis
understood or misrepresented in that section.
The impression that Virginia has determined
'to remain in the Union as matters now stand—
to submit to the rule of the new dynasty under
the Chicago programme—is a gross and perni
cious error. She has decided to do no such
thing; nay, she has decided to do just the re
verse, by a popular judgment approximating
unanimity. She has determined that her con
nection with the Northern States shall end,
uuleati satisfactory and inviolable assurances
are given that every constitutional right she
has will be recognised and respected, and that
her equality and safety, as a member of the
Confederacy, will be free from all jeopardy.
Perhaps - we may make ourselves better under
stood by reproducing from our own columns a
portion of an editorial that appeared on the
moreing of the election, as follows:
"We expect to see elected a vest preponder
ance of fair minded, rational, conservative
men; and yet men who, unless the North 'will
agree to a speedy, satisfactory and final adjust
meat of the issues in controversy, will boldly
unfurl the standard of resistance, and resolve
to stand or fall out of the Union."
's We exhort the people and politicians of the
North, in advance, not to be deceived by the
result of the election in Virginia to-day, should
that result be against the precipitators and in
favor of what are called here conservative can
didates, as we feel confident it will be. For,
let us assure them, in all sincerity and candor,
that Virginia's remaining in the Union, or going
out, depends entirely upon the decision of the
'Peace Congress'—the convention of State com
missioners—which assembles in Washington.
Should this commissioners' convention fail to
agree upon terms of adjustment, 094019 pm-

tion will be irrevocably settled against the
Union, so far as Virginia is concerned. And if
Virginia resolves to go out of the Union, there
not a slaveholding State but will immeilately
follow her example, as we religiously believe.
In other words, the failure of the 'Peaoe Con
gress' in Washington to adjust the pending
controversy, or to put things in such train as
will inevitably lead to an early, satisfactory and
final adjustment, will certainly be followed by
the prompt withdrawal of the whole of the
alaveholding States. This is our earnest and
deliberate opinion, and we admonish the North
ern people and politicians to place full confi
deuce in the accuracy of that opinion, and act
according, or the Union will infallibly be num
bered with the things that were I"
We now add that our prediction as to the
character of men who would be elected has
been fully realized, and we warn the people of
the North that the admonition to them, coupled
with that prediction, is no less truly prophetic,
should the contingency occur.
We hope this will be taken as our response
to the many applications which have been made
to us from distant States, both North and South,
for information on this subject.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Lai"
writing from Paris, in November, 1860, hai
the following:
Here is a fine river, some 180 miles long, be
tween Paris and Havre, on the ocean, that is
almost unused• If we had it in America, what
uses we should make of it! It has a depth of
water equal to, certainly, five feet, up to Paris,
yet it is not used, we may say, for the trans
portation of merchandise,
The Frenchman has some idea of a steam
ship, but none at all of a steamboat for navi
gating inland streams with shallow draught of
water. The steamboats that do ply upon the
Seine get along in the following primitive
way : In the centre of the river, along nearly
its whole length, is a chain, moored to floats at
proper distances. Each steamboat has a aide
drum-wheel, around which a turn is made of
this chain ; and the steam-power is used to wind
the endless chain around the drum, and thus
warp the boat forward.
This being the mode of river navigation, it
will not surprise any one that the railway car
ries the merchandize. No wonder fuel is high
in Paris , and manufacturers are at disadVall
tage.. Wood is chiefly used in families, and its
retail price is half a cent a pound! The quality
is but middling; it is mostly small sticks of
beechwood.
Fuel can be cheapened by doing as we do at
New York,. viz having boats to run• from the
mines to the port of Consumption without
breaking bulk. The coals of England and
Belgium are almost on the ocean. Boats of
proper construction to carry 600 tons can be
made to load at Liff Castle, for instance, and
thence to go, without breaking bulk, to Paris.
The English Channel may require, at times, a
center board of large dimensions, which can
be provided. In• this way only can fuel be
brought to reasonable rates in Paris. It may
be mentioned that the coals. of France are far
from this centre, and the quality is inferior.
The enterprise of America is making itself
known cit the earth. In Russia we build their
railways ;. in the Crimea we raise their sunken
vessels ; and we provide all Europe with sewing
machines. It would be a paying speculation
if our people could get, a concession for the
steam navigation of the Seine.
All over Parle, in the greatest profusion,
conveniences are. provided for the private re
tiracy of the passer by the way. Along the
curves of the boulevards these useful arrange
ments consist of hollow cylinders of iron. The
part towards the street way is open. They af
ford barely sufficient concealment. The whole
surface, exclusively, of the actual retiracy, is
let out to advertisers. The interior, facing
the person, en retiradea, is also used by medical
advertisers of a certain selection. In other
parts of Paris, wherever a corner can be made,.
(and a three inch projection of one wall beyond
another is considered a corner,) it is arrange&
with offs flows for the purpose. You can scarcely
go three squares in any direction and not fin&
one of some sort. There wag, to our- eye, at
first, an indelicate exposure in. all this. But
we have got used to it, and it no longer offends.
At first it does seem out of all propriety that
women are ever brushing up, as they must do
on narrow pavements, against men so circum
stanced. But as they don't mind it at all,
neither do we, after a like training of Wit.
Indeed, all their statuary is open to similar re
marks.
We look upon the institutions we have named
as so essential to health, and So demanded by
a reasonable:regard to decency, as veiwed from
another aspect, that we may appeal to our
American city governments to say if they are
not behind the age and behind the namable
performance of their duty to the public in
omitting all provision for this purpose.
Cabinets (d'aisance) are also numerous all
over Paris. These are kept in the neatest or
der, and Are frequented, as occasion urges, by
both sexes. They are always in charge of
women.
It 'le in very few things that we can learn
from Europe. We are generally ahead. But
when we find anything that can be commended
for imitation, we think it right to mention it,
and we trust the genic, well intended will
cover an unavoided exposure if separable from
the description.
There is a company - which finds eltetild%
business in Paris supplying to Wands ruovear
ble gas arrangements. Their large wagons Are•
freighted with numerous oast iron jars; holdt)l4
gas, forced in. A flexible pipe is attachedi to
the customer's receiver, which is replesiehed
from the wagon. It is common in Paris ise,lieht
shops and all halls with gas, direct. I#4t• Pert
apartments are fitted with pipes antl fixtures
for gas. This peculiarity gives businesato the
Portable. Company. The price of gee direct
from the works ; is vs per 1,000 cukio.feet, [the
price in New York is only $8 per I,OOA feet ! )
and one is amazed how liberally it is used in
the street lamps, and in shops and Awes of
amusement.
We boast of butter in Philadelphia; but it
is better made on ale continent. It rarely
you find butter not presentable. It is always
made without salt; hence the necessity of
working all milky particles out of it. The.re
suit is, that it Po always l i ike. putty, and that it
keeps sweet much longer than ours. Phila
