SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1861.
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.
While we appealed to the Nor:h for justice
and to the South for moderation—while we

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.

"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, •
