BEGINNING TO BEE THE EFFECT OF THEIR WORK. We were not surprised at seeing, a day or two since, in the two Republican evening pa pers of this city, evidence that those who have contributed in so large a measure to bring the present political and financial troubles upon the country, begin to appreciate the evils which press so heavily upon us, and to comprehend the practical obstacles in the way of their re moval. The Post and Commercial discuss these . topics simultaneously; and both appear to have awakened from a sense of security to the real danger impending. The Post is worried about the finances of the Government; and asks, "what shall be done for a revenue ?" It seems to apprehend that under the existing tarriff laws of the United States, and of the Confederate States, the bulk of mer chandise imported, subject to duty, will go to the ports of the Confederate States, and find its way thence, free of duty, by railway and coast ing vessels, to all parts of the United States, without payment of duty, except the moderate rate levied by the government of the Confed erate States. When merchandise is once in the country, there would, it declares, be no way to prevent its free circulation and sale in every part of the United States. The mode of preventing this, which appears generally to be entertained, the Post thinks surrounded with difficulties. We quote a portion of its article, to show into what a predicament we have been precipitated by the Abolition fanaticism of which the Post is so distinguished a represen tative: What, then, is left.. for our government? Shall we let the seceding States repeal the revenue laws for the whole Union in this.man ner ? Or will the government choose to con sider all foreign commerce destined for those ports where we have no custom-houses and no collectors, as contraband, and stop it when offering to enter the collection districts from which our authorities have been expelled? Or will the President call a special session of Con gress to do what the last unwisely failed to do —to abolish all ports of entry in the seceding States ? We will not undertake to add anything to the picture thus drawn by our evening cotem porary. It is sufficiently dark and discoura ging; and we turn to our other evening neigh bor, the Commercial, for light. Let us see what that hitherto cautious, but lately rather fast sheet, thinks of existing facts. After re ferring at some length to the rumored inten tion on the part of the Government to evacuate Fort Sumpter, and the "apparent necessity" for such a course, and expressing the decided opinion that it will be equivalent to acknow ledging our inability to exercise authority over the seceded States, and that Fort Pickens must also, be surrendered for like reasons, the Com mercial goes on to say: Then the Southern Confederacy will have undisputed possession of the coast and the coast fortifications from Brownsville up to Cape Fear, by far the larger portion of our gulf and Atlantic coast. To suppose that this Can ever be retaken by force is absurd, in view of our inability to retain Fort Sumpter. The Southern Confederacy thus triumphantly established, in all probability North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland will join it, further diminishing our Atlantic coast, and extending theirs up to Cape Henlopen. . These consequences must almost inevitably follow upon the surrender of Fort Sumpter. We might add that the example of secession thus successfully set, further dismemberment will almost inevitably follow,. and in less than a decade of years, instead of there being on this continent one great republic, one proud confederacy of the United States, we shall be subdivided inte a Southern, a Central, a Pa cific, a Northern, and possibly an Eastern and Western Republlc, a mere -collocation of small sovereignties. In fact., if it be conceded, as it apparently is about to be, that secession and revolution must not be suppressed by force, but may be rewarded with the undisputed pos session of whatever public property is located upon the seceders' territory, it is impossible to say how far dismemberment and subdivision may go in less than a decade of years. In view of all the facts of the case, we have a recommendation to make to the President, if he should finally determine to surrender Fort Surripter tO . the revolutionists. It is, that im mediately Upon doing so he call an extra ses sion of Congress, that measures may be promptly taken to call a convention of the people for the purpose of acknowledging the independence of the "Confederated States of North America," be they seven, ten or fifteen, so that a perpetual end may be put to the disturbances to which the country has so long been'subjected. And We would further recommend that such conven tion be instructed to make such amendments to the Constitution as shall either distinctly and openly recognize the right of secession, or shall make provision for its suppression when at tempted, clothe the Executive with power to carry such provision into effect, and make it a penal of fence not to use it. We have no hesitation in say ing that, the recognition of the Southern Con federacY should not be delayed a day longer than can be helped after once Fort Sumpter is surrendered to it. When Major Anderson re treats from that fortress, it will be irrevocably gone from the federal government of the United States. No . one dreams that it, or any other fort, will be retaken after that. The proud motto, " Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseperable," will cease' to be ours, and the Union, itself wounded in the house of its pro fessed friends,will be spoken of with regret, and thought f with a segh, as a thing only of the past. We almost suspect the Commercial has been reading the files of , the Journal of Commerce for some months back, so faithful a reflex does its article contain, of the predictions and warn ings which we felt it our duty to utter, before secession became an accomplished fact, and when there was still a chance to save the Union. Had our cotemporary then used the - language it now utters-not as a lamentation, but as a warning to its political friends—and bad it been supported in such a policy by its Pal Or asiociates,—it is not too much to say that the catastrophe which it now mourns might have been averted.

NO. 166. warned the former that without concessions the Union could not be saved, and urged upon the latter that with a conservative Congress and an aroused public sentiment, their rights could not be seriously jeopardized, even under a Re publican President—the Republican journals were engaged in denouncing and defying the South, and in nerving up their friends in the North to stand firm, and to make no concessions —no compromise with slavery. In this last work the Commercial, we will do it the jusiic to say, did not fully join ; neither did it exert that powerful influence for good, which it might have done, had it seen things as it now sees them, and raised its voice earnestly for peace. We are glad, even at this late day, to see such evidences of returning reason as are mani fested by our evening cotemporaries. It may be too late to save the Union, but it may not be too late to save the country from war. Thee is a desideratum of no small consequence—worth in fact the surrender of all the partisan feeling which it may be necessary to sacrifice on the altar of our country.—Journal of Commerce. [From the Journal of Commerce.] "The NATIONAL CONTROVERSY ; or, The Voice of the Fathers upon the state of the Country. By Josephe Stiles.) , New York : published by Rudd & Carleton, 12 mo., pp. 108. In this little volume, Rev. Dr. Stiles, of New Haven, has discussed, with much clearness and power, the following questions: 1. Were our Northern fathers encouraged to expect that, within a short period after the for mation of the Constitution, slavery would dis appear for ever ? 2. Has the South transgressed her constitu tional relations to the subject of slavery, and encroached upon the North ? 3. Has the North violated her constitutional obligations upon this subject, and encroached upon the South? 4. Where shall we find the origin and the healing of this unhappy strife ? The affirmative of the first question is assumed by many well meaning men, and on that .as sumption they build the conclusion 'that the South has wronged the North by defeating this just expectation ; and therefore that the North is justified or excused in helping herself to se cure the desired result. Such persona should by all means read the answer of Dr. Stiles to the same question, which occupies about 30 pages. It scarcely admits of abridgement.— Among other proofs that there was no such un derstanding between the North and the South. he quotes the language of various members of the Convention which framed the Constitution. He also accumulates a mass of evidence from other sources to the same effect.; making in the aggregate, we should think, enough to con vince. the most incredulous. A brief outline of the course of thought embraced in the discus sion will be gathered from its closing para graphs, as follows: Oh, my country, what is to become of thee ? Is there then to be no more a United States of America So long the pride of the North Amer ican, and the glory of the world? How it wrings the heart to think of it! What can be done in this dark hour ? COmpromises may connect, but never can unite the people. Organ izations band the body, sentiment only welds the parts. Oh, friend and brother of the North, I fear you have had too much to do in working out these dark issues. Wrong is rarely con fined to one party—nor do I insist upon it here. But in behalf of yourself and our Northern brethren, for God's sake, and for man's—will you not give impartial heed to the serious con-. victions addressed to you on these sheets ? Pray, think of it! If the opinions here ex pressed are true, and you will heartily adopt them—this shall save the nation, as nothing else can ! Before the God of our country do you net believe them, in the main, to be true ? Are you not assured that the Northern fathers were never authorized by Southern delegates in the constitutional convention to expect that slavery should be brought to a speedy close ? In your hearts, then, let the South have the benefit of this solid truth. In consideration for commercial privileges granted by the South, are you not assured that the North covenanted to yield to the South all such claims and toler ation upon the subject of slavery, as would se cure to her, in this relation, a comfortable, honorable and profitable participation in the Union? Then, in your very soul, give to the So'uth the full benefit of this most important. right.. Whatever pride, passion, assumption and misconduct may have been justly laid to the charge of the South, are you not convinced that, on the whole, the South has not wandered very far from her stipulations in the great con stitutional compact upon which the government was founded? Let the South then have the full advantage of this important admission in your mind. Are you not assured, that the North, for long years, has allowed her people to carry out a vexatious persecution of the South, in the very teeth of her own slavery guarantees, which has largely despoiled South ern men of that peace, respect and profits in the. Union so sacredly pledged ? If this be indeed so—and surely you will not deny it— should you not be willing to concede the wrong and make amends for it? Finally: Has not our national controversy its origin very largely in this unhappy truth, viz: that the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ has had too little to do with almost all Northern virtue upon the subject of slavery ? In the leading class of opponents, and in all others under their influence, has not a fanatical spirit been allowed to disturb kind relations, unsettled sound judgment, demoral ized good conscience, and set the heart upon disorganizing ends ! Come now, friend ! Speak out from the sincerity of your soul—to save our glorious country—will you not do right? Will you not act sensibly, honorabli, justly? Will you not permit the God of the nation, by his most blessed book, in all the matter of our differences, to breathe a kinder temper into your heart, to shed sounder light upon your understanding, to set up a juster rule in your conscience, and place before you wiser ends than you have sought.? But do this, and think of it—lt shall save our people as nothing else can. For—justice to' the South ! On the one hand, it is the very last element of hopeful re construction of our divided country; on the other, the most potent agent of a sound fra ternity between our bordering nations I Only let the North do right—only let her see, feel,. and say--- ,, We have all gone wrong in this mate ter of slavery. The South never troubled U 8 in her part of the contract, but fairly - .gavotte all she engaged to surrender. We, on the con trary, have not secured to her what we cove nanted to convey. We have disturbed herihere we promised peace. We have suffered her to be dishonored where we vowed protection. And we have allowed to be taken away, from her what we . ourselves promised to restore. In a word, we have not kept our bargain with the South. No-! we have not! PA Now, my Northern friend! Let the Sotith.do or fail to do what she may— will you do right ? For the sake of our country, the church, and the world—do right, myfriend —do right. And by the constitution of things. - arid the fidelity of its author, heaven and earth shall see what the North and the South .ehaa feel—that the work of righteousness—is peace, •
