The New‘York Tribm never very hint or
mafia-m. is pecpliarly ferocious just how.—
Bléod streams down itsgolumus in cataracts.
It displays ahuge appetitefor slaughter. The
organs of the Mountain in the days of the
French Revolution could not have been more
sanguinary, nor more regardless of law or jus
tice. It pmposes that the State of Pennsylva
nia shall make a dash at the Maryland Legis
lature ass-ambled nt Frederick,,and disperse it
at the point of the bayonet, before it has time
to consummlta the treason of secession. ‘Now,
there are several very, grave objections to such
a proceeding. .In the first place, the volunteers
of Pennsylranla have been mustered- into the
service: rot the General Government, and their
movements are :squth to the directions of the
Federalauthoriiies. Pennsylvnniarhas no idea
of treadingrin the footsteps of the secessionists,
. by levying war upon her own account upon
any State belonging to the Union. . In the next.
placé, thevMiirylapd Legislature has a. right-40
assemble at the call of the Governor, and'to
deliberate without; moleétation; and Pennsyl
vania has no right to interfere with it, upon
the fidked presumption that. it mediates treason
to the Federal Government. We are not going
to inaugurate e guerilln warfare upon our
borders. This is not a light; between States.
but one between the General Government and
those who ante in armed rebellion against in;
anther-fly. Pennsylvania is mindful of her
obligations as a member of the Union, and will
not set an example of lawlessness while she is
putting forth all he: energies to reestablish
lair end order) , .
An Inviting ufi'er.
Item the tone of the following article, which
we extract from the columns of the St. Louis
Repubh'cm, a. journal that favors “armed neu
trality” on the inn-t of the Border States, we
infer that seceésion has not. mahy enthusiastic
advocates in 'Missouri, and that. they are not
anxious to invest very largely in the business:
A Omen sou SEGESSIOR]3TS.—As there are
many among us who, no doubt, sigh for the
blessings of secession and annexation to the
Cotton Confederacy, we ‘are requested by a. dis
tinguished lawyer at the capital of the most
promising of the acceding States to ofer'his
city maidenee, 'consisting of an elegant and
most desirable and commodious mansion, with
every accommodation for the largest'family,
which has ever-y tenement and necessary out
huildiog. surrounded by ’four acres of choice
grounds, covered with Elysian shades and
shruhbery, and a. choice garden. The house is
thoroughly luruished in a style befitting an
outlay as: a prime cost‘of $15,000. The family
Servants are of the best kindfor the establish
ment. -His library has cost $6,000. and is well
suited to an extensive practice in the State.—
Hisnotes and accounts amount to over $30,000;
The whole oi- the immovable part, with good
will in pnetice'and in the Secession cause, wili
be exchanged for a. St. Louis residence of like
value. or course an exchange with a. Seeeé~
siou lawyer will be preferred, as thus an ex
,changeiof residence may be affected and both
accommodated without the usual inconvenience,
loss and expense; ‘
The 'e’dilur of this paper vouches for the
good faith and fail" dealing of the offer. Refer

llistakes of Southern People.
The prevailing idea in the South, and espe
cially in those States which have not fotnially
attempt-fed torswevler their connection with the
Federal-Government, is, that the North in let
ting loose a horde to overrun, trample‘npon,
subdue 'snd annihilate the 'slaye States.' The
people ere made to Believe that they‘mnst fight.
for their homes, their property and their ex
istence; thst they must. beat hack the Hot-them
invader, or submit’to' inferiority and slavery.
This false notion of the purpose of the Federal
Government is encouraged by the Secessionists,
who seek to fire the hearts of the peopleto
resistance as nothing else ean fire th‘ém—nnd
also by certain Northern journals, which play
into their hands by exhibitions of the most.
revolting ferocity. When a Southern than,

and duty is to re-emablish the reign of law and
order. If it is compelled to use force for the
accomplishment of this purpose, the fault rests
with those who have taken up arms againstthe
Government. _. If rebellion would lay down its
arms and return to loyalty, and not uttemptto
stand between 7 the violators of low end the
punishment. due :to their crimes. there would
he no neeessity‘for the invasion of Southern
Soil by Northern soldiers. The Government
has determined to subdue rebellion wherever
it exists—but not to let loose lhe horrors of War
anon a people for their euhjugmion. The war
is for the maintenance of 'the Union ; forgood
gcvernmeut against anarchy. and not against
the rightsof any of the States or of the peer
ple of any State. If the Southern people could
be made to understand this, toe battle would
be more thanrhelf won. .7 .
Misplaced Sympathy.
Why should the Border States play into the
hands of the Southern Confederacy? Why
should they submit. to_ being dragged into the
secession mbvement contrary to their inclina
tions and interests 2 They have everything to
lose and nothing to gain by such aromas.—
South Carolina. never cansulted their interests
‘ when she started theseeession hall, and why
I should they throw themselves as a body guard
between South Carolina and an olfended Govt
ernment? The Border States have been placed
in their present perilousposition by deliberate
calculation! South Carolina rejected the pro—
position whiohjtns made early in this contest
for the holding of a convention of all the South
ern States to determine upon some united plan
of action, apprehending thatthis would result in
a determination to abide by the Union, and to
‘ set-k such redress for supposed grievances as
the Union was sure to afi‘ord. This did not
suit her plans and the plans of her associate
conspirators. ‘ They foresaw that the Border
States, with their strong 'attachtnent for the
Union. and their hostility to secession, would
kill the disnnion movement—and that the se
cession conspiracy would be crushed in its in
fancy. They refused to ask the advice or to be
governed by the remonstrances of the very
States they expected to stand by them in the
event of a. conflict with the Federal Govern
ment; but precipitated secession, dragooned
State after State into their measures, and in
vitedthe hostility of the Government by seizing ‘
its-property and anti-aging its flag, with the 1
deliberate purpose of compelling the 'Border ‘
States to stand in the van and fight their bat
tles for them. K ,
Will the Border States he used in this way?
Will they rebel agninst a. Government of their
own choice, and espouse the cause of conspira
tors who disdained their counsels and now im
periously. seek to thrust them into the. froht of
the battle ‘2 Never were pes-ple worse used by
the Southern Confederacy than .the people of
the Border States—audit is degrading to these
States to submit to the domination of those ,who
abuse while they use» them. Will theyl'not
pause before plunging into open rebellion, anti
break the fettere of a false sympathy while
there is yet time 2’ '
Tnn'Wsn T 0 mt BARBAROUB.——It is the boast
of modern times that the warfare of civilized
poeples has been stripped of half its horrors.
The Government that; should confiscate the
properly of foreigners prosecuting their enter~_
prises within its jurisdiction, would invite a’
l verdict reducing it. to'the level of the pirate
‘ and the highwaynmn. No English mob de
spoiled the warehouses of Russian merchants
whilst. VSebastopol was beseig-tl; and Russia
with all its absolutism, meddled not with. En
glish monufactories maintained in its midst.
The Paris Conference adopted conditions recog
nizable between nations, expressly calculated
to mitigate the misfortunesof war, and to pro
tect the ‘ interests of those not immediately
engaged in the conflict. In connection with
that movement,?the United States Government
stood in advance of all others in the extent-of
its proposals.
Now what have we? At the very threshold
of war, hOIh sections in the States commit
themselves to plans which bring back the bar
barism of olden times, and will subject. North
and South to an opprohrinm which neither can
all'ord to carry. On one side. Southern soldiers
threaten indiscriminate slaughter. There shall
he no quarter, they advertise in advance; 0n
the other hand, the leading Republican journals
deliberately advise the employment of measures
which might suit the latitude of China or the
Punjsnb, but will sink in everlasting infamy
the cause that shall resort to them on the
American continent. Thus the New York
Tigmnnrges the adoption of means to excite
sen-vile insurrection in the South. Organiza
tions inerecommended with the specific object
of arming slaves and prompting them to re
cent. the nameless horrors of St. Domingo.—
Innuccnt women and helplesschildren are to.
he butchered by their servants! Again, the-
New Y_ork Tribune holds up to Northern volun
teen the tempting bait of wholesale blunder.
It promises that Southern plantations shall be
panelled amongst the victorious soldiery: and
descants upon theriches and salubrity of Vir
ginia as an estatemotth striving fort There
is nomincing of phrases on the part of our New:
York contemperary. It unblushingly preaches
the doctrine of “confiscation,” literally main
tains the right to rthrolling the sweet morsel
under its tongue as something irresistible to the
pharisaio palate. .

The Blockade of Sontherii Ports.
Some excitement has been produced in dip
lomatic circles, growing out of ihe proclama
tionof the President, directing a blockade of
Southern ports. It. appears that 5 blockade to
be respected hy foreign powers, must not. only
,be effective, but that due notice must be given
of such intention to their representatives.—
With Brazil and all the ‘South Ameriean Go
vernments, a notice of ninety days is required
under existing treaties. But this has not been
given by our Government. Hence; consign
{nexus of coffee and other natural products,
designed for Southern ports, are delayed in
their transporta-ion to that. portion of the
country—the merchants not. having been noti
fiedof the-effects of the immediate blockade.
It. has, therefore, .become necessary that
specific inquiries be made of the Federal Gov
ernment in relation to the subject, so that.
treaty rights and priveledges be not. damaged.
The ForeigmMinisters will insist. that the stip
ulations shall be respected and observed;'other.
wise naval forces will be \dvspmched to the
blookuded ports as a means of foreign prome
tion. The delicacy of the question is apparent,
and from what is known may involve'serious
consequences to all concerned—at all events
produce u-ouble now as well as in lhe fulure.
