DOCK, Jr., & Co tot atrigt `T,I WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 9, 1863. Prom The Crisis ABRAHAM AND THE DEVIL. Satan's Visit to Abraham and Tod, seen after the Vallandigham Convention of June 11th, 1563. 'Twee night. Old Abe sat iu hie arm-chair Most horribly loud did he more; When awaking and gazing around him he spied Old Satan peeping in at the door. "Good evening, dear Devil ! How are you?" he cried, "I am right glad to see you," quoth he ; "Bit down, faithful servant," old Satan replied, "As I prefer standing, you see. "I have important business," old Satan then said, "So I thought to call up to see you, To see if you know what in now going on, And what course you've resolved to pursue." "W Mini happened, dear Devil ! What's happened, pray tell ?" (And Old Abe turned pale as a ghost,) "oh say have you yet a sly corner in h-11 That's empty? If not lam lost!" "Oh don't get excited—pray Abraham don't; An depends on your courage and strength. You must turn out Old Burnside, of that I'm quite sure, As I fear he has gone his full length. The people have called a convention, you see ; Per Vallandigham loudly they cheer; If allowed to go on in their now present course, They'll make him a Governor, I fear." "Oh Bevil, dear Devil! Oh what shall I do? If State Rights are established I'm lost; knit advise me, kind parent, what course to pursue, And do it, let what may be the cost. I have spilled the best blood of the nation, I know; Widows and orphans I've made by the score; But what matters that? I can just order a draft, And bring hundreds and thousands more." "Do it—do it !"—crled Satan; "just make up a yarn That the rebels are close at your door; Then send Provost Marshals by hordes and great swarms, And you'll soon have an army." "I snore," Cried Old Abe; "a capital plan; I'll do it as sure as I stand, I'll soon have an army of blacks, too, you know. To squelch rebels by sea and by land." Then Satan turned around with a dignified air And picked up his pitchfork and rod, Bid Old Abe "good evening," and passed out the door, To call on Old Renegade TOIL He found Old Backbone in a terrible stew, Hot tears coursed hie beautiful cheeks ; When Satan inquired for his health, he replied He was sick—that he felt very weak. "Weak in what," cried the Devil, "in body , or mind?" "Weak in both " mid poor Ted, with a sigh; "Since the two last conventions Jive failed very fast, And I feel tbat my end draweth nigh. They have broken my backbone and cast me aside, My own party have sent me adrift, And Vallandigham men will coon put on the gloss—r Devil, dear! can't you give sae a lift ?" "Give a lift? to be sure ; and tell you how— • I'll take this long pitchfork and rod, O'er the high walls of brimstone, deep down into h—li, I'll boost you, Old Renegade Tod. I have built a new one--my old one is ftal— Its wails are of brimstone quite high— When you've boiled long enough in the bottomless pit, You'll be placed on its griddle to fry. • "You'll not want for companions—Stanton, Seward and Chase, The whole phalanx of Abraham's crew, And Old Horace Greeley, the vilest of all, I intend shall help season the stew." Tod fainted. Old Nick gave a horrible grin As Old Renegade lay pale and still; Clrubliting, he said to himself as he went. "Don't you wish you had stard at Briar Hilt !” STATE RIGHTS AND STATE REMEDIES—No. 10. To His Excellency A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania RESPECTED Sin :—I have heard lawyers say, in court, when about to introduce testimony, that they would explain, or state the substance of it. I will follow this practice with respect to introducing the evidence of John Henry, believing it of importance, , so that his testi mony may be understood. On the 9th March, Isl 2, President Madison sent a menage to the Senate and -House of Representatives of the United States, laying before them " copies of certain documents which remain in the De partment of State," from which the following is an extract : " Through its [the British Government's] public Minister here, a secret agent of that Government was employed in certain States, more especially at the seat of government in Massachusetts, in fomenting disaffection to the constituted authorities of the nation, and in intrigues with the disaffected for the purpose of bringing about resistance to the laws, and eventually, in concert with a British force, of destroying the Union and forming the eastern part thereof into a political connection with Great Britain." • Those documents and tort etipendenee are too voluminous to be inserted at length in these numbers. The inquiring reader will find them in full in the 3d volume of the "American Re view" and in the "4th volume . Abridgement of the Debates of Congress—by John C. Rives." I shall only refer to dates, and a few extracts taken from the correspondence, so that the evident° of Mr. Henry may be understood. The first is a letter.from " Mr. Ryland, Secre-. tart' to Sir James Craig, late Governor Gene ral of the British Provinces in North America, to. Mr. Henry, applying to him to undertake the mission to the United States, dated at Que bec, January 26, 1809," and marked ("most secret and confidential.") No. 2 is " General Instructions from Sir J. H. Craig to Mr. Henry, respecting his secret mission, dated Quebec, February 6, 1809," ("Nose secret and confiden tial,") in whioh, among other things, he says: "The Federalists, as I understand, have at all times discovered a leaning to this disposition, (dissolution of this Union,) and their being under its particular fnfluengf at this moment, ie the more to be expected, from their having no ill-founded ground for their hopes of being nearer the attamment of their object than they have been for some years past. * * * It has been supposed that, if the Federalists of the Eastern States should be successful in ob taining that decided influence which may ena ble them to direct the public opinion, it is not improbable that, rather than submit to a con tinuance of the difficulties and distress to which they are now subject, they will exert that in fluence to bring about a separation from the gen eral Union. The earliest information on this subject may be of great consequence to our Government, as it may also be that it should be informed how far, in such an event, they would look up to England for assistance, or be dis posed to enter into a connection with us.. * * In passing through the State of Vermont you will, of course, exert your endeavors to pro cure all the information that the. short stay you will probably make there will admit of. You will use your own discretion as to delay ing your journey," &c. Mr. Henry accepts of the mittsion, and, 021 the 10th of February,lBo9, acknowledges "the receipt of tile Governor General's letter of in structions, the letter pf credence, and the ci pher for carrying on my correspondence." The first letter that Mr. Henry writes to Sir J. H. Craig, after his arrival in the United PRICE TWO CENTS. States, is dated "Burlington, (Vt.,) Feb. 14th, 1809" : "Sin—l have been here two days in order to ascertain the progress of the arranyement heretofore made for organizing an efficient oppo sition to the general government, &c. * * * I lcarn that the Governor of this State is now visiting the towns in the northern section of it, and makes no secret of his determination, as Commander-in-Chief of the Militia, to re; fuse obedienee to any Command from the gen eral government which can tend to interrupt the good understanding that pi avails between the citizens of Vermont and His Mojecrtyla auldecie in Canada. * * I need not add that if these resolutions are carried into effect, the State of Vermont may be considered as an ALLY OF GREAT BRITAIN. * * * I only say with certainty that the leading men of the Fedora party act in concert, and therefore infer that a common sentiment pervades the whole body throughout New England. * * * Every thing tends to encourage the belief that the dissolution of the Confederacy will be accele rated by the spirit which now actuates both political parties." The next letter is dated at "Windsor, (Vt.,) February 19, 1809," from which a few extracts are made : "Therefore, since my departure from Bur lington, I have sought every favorable occasion of conversing with the Democrats on the pro bable results of the policy adopted by the gen eral government, r l'he difference of opinion is thus expressed : The Federal party declare that, in the event of a war, the State of Vermont will treat separately for itself with Great Britain, and support, to the utmeSt, the stipulations into which it may enter, without any regard to the Policy of the general government. The Democrats, on the other hand, assert * * * at all events (they) would risk everything in preference to a coalition with Great Britain." Mr. Henry goes to Amherst, (N. H.,) where he stays a few days, and then proceeds to Bos ton, from whence, on "March 6th, 1809," he Writes to Sir J. H. Craig, (in cipher,) from which is taken the following extract : "It does not yet appear necessary that I should discover to any person the purpose of my visit to Boston, nor is it probable that I shall be compelled, for the Bake of gaining more knowledge of the arrangements of the Federal party in these States, to avow myself as a regular authorized agent of the British government, even to those individuals who would ierl equally bound with myself to pre aerie, with the utmost inscrutability, so im portant a secret from the public eye. I have sufficient means of information to enable me to judge of flee proper period for offericg the co. operation of Great Britain, and opening a cor respondence between the Governor General of British America and those individuals who, from the part they take in the opposition to the National Government, * should be qualified to act in behalf of the Northern States." His next letter is dated "Boston, Marsh 7, 1809": * * * " The Legislature of Mas sachusetts will give the tone to the neighbor ing States ; will declare itself permanent until a new election of members ; invite a Congress, to be composed of delegates from the Federal States, and erect a separate government' for their common defence and common interest: * * They would, by such an act, be in a condition to make or receive proposals from Great Brit ain." I will pass over his letter of the 9th. March, 1809, and insert an extract from his letter dated " Boston, March 13, 1809." " To bring about a separation of the States, under distinct and independent governments. &0., however desirable, cannot be effected but by a series of acts and a long continued policy tending to irritate the Southern and con. ciliate the Northern people. The former are agricultural, the latter a commercial people. The mode of cherishing and depressing either is too obvious to require illustration," &c. In his letter dated Boston, March 29, 1809, he says " The Federal candidate in New Hampshire is elected. In Connecticut no change is necessary, and none is to be apprehended. In Massachu setts it is certain that the Federal candidate will succeed. * * * It should, therefore, be the peculiar care of Great Britain to foster divisions between the North and South." In his letter dated Boston, A:pri126,1509, re ferring to tho eleatioh in the New England States, he says : "In all these States, however, Governors have been elected out of the Federal party. * * * The correspondence between Mr. Erakin and the SecretaTy of State at Wash ington, you will have seen bifore this can reach you ; it has given much satisfaction to the Fed eral party here, because it promises an exemp tion from the evil most feared, (a war with England,) and justifies their partiality towards Great Britain." . I will pass over without notice several of Mr. Henry's letters while in this country, and call your attention to an extract from his letter to Sir J. H. Craig, dated Montreal, June 12, 1809: "The present hopes of the Federalists are founded en the probability of a war with France ; but, at all events, this party is strong and well organized enought to prevent a war with England. It would be now superfluous to trouble your Excellency with an account of the nature and extent of the arrangements of the Federal party to resist any attempt of the gov ernment unfavorable to Great Britain. They are such as do great credit to their ability and principles." There are a number of other letters in this correspondence that might be referred to ;, but 1 have quoted largely . enough to make Mr. leury'e evidence intelligible. The message and documents having been read in Congress, Mr. Rhea made a motion to print them. A discussion took place on this motion, the Eastern members, generally, op posing the printing. Bat a Mr. Fisk, a member from Vermont, advocated the printing, and, in hie remarks, introduced a new witness to the, same fact. He says : sir, oan gentlemen seriously, doubt the truth of the facts stated by this Mr. Henry, when they have it from the highest authority, that the former British Minister,- Mr. &kin, while here, at this very time, was in the 'garde business this Mr. Henry was sent to perform? In a letter written by that Minister to his gov ernment, dated the 15th February, 1809, he tells them, 'the ultimate consequences of such differences and jealousies, arising between the Eastern and Southern States, would inevitably tend to a dissolution of the Union, which has been for some time talked of,. and has of late, as I have heard, been seriously contemplated by tunny of the leading people in the Eastern di vision.' Now, sir, when the British Minister was on this business, by order of his govern ment, is it extraordinary or incredible that niusza*FD Amy,.

In this connect n, I might refer to the reso lutions and proillidinge of the Legislatures of Corinecticnt and Maesiichuigt at this time—to the proceedings of the 'Hertford Convention - from the 15th of Decemberi 1814, to the sth of 'January, 1815—to the oppoeitipm and , oonduat of the New England States 40'41 the Mexican war, and even up to the 12th ot:Peliaii, when 'Senator Hale, of New taMpshire, pre sented petitions in the Senate of the Vnited States, "asking the peaceful dissolution of the Union:" But, sir, look at the evidence of Wm. Plumer, of President John Adams, of President J. Q. Adams, and John Henry—who spoke from their own knowledge of the faots at the time—and you must admit their testimony is clear, positive and truthful; and they prove that, after Mr. Jefferson's election to the Presidency, the Federal party of the New En gland States had formed a conspiracy to dis solve the union of these States—to establish a separate government in New England, in alli ance with• Great Britain. Such were the acts and proceedings of the New England States in their unjustifiable op position to the regular and necessary measures of the General Government—and this, too, at a time when that Government was in the ex tremest peril and embarrassment, in defending our country from the seesulto of foreign ene mies. But the chief object of presenting these quo tations is to show, that from 1803 to 1815, there was a real conspiracy organized in the New England States to sever the Union, and, in the time of a foreign war, to commence a civil war, deluge our country with the blood of brothers, spilled by brothers' hands, spread desplation over these States, and.blot out of existence the only sanctuary of free principles in the civil ized world. It was nothing more or less than " moral treason." It is secession. er • a With drawal from the Union by the aggrieved State. But for a State to resort to secession, as a pri- 5 wary means of redressing a wrong done by th usurpations of the Federal Government, not only defeats its own object, but does injustice to the other States. Moreover it ipso facto, breaks the Union, and is therefore not within the letter or spirit of the Virginia and Ken tucky resolutions of '9B, as these resolutions propose to preserve the Constitution, by an nulling every act of the Federal Government Which the Constitution does not authorise ; they propose to preserve the Union, by abroga ting all unconstitutional acts and usurpations, which course would not withdraw the State from the 'Union, nor embarrass the regular action of the Government within the Constitution; secession, on the contrary, withdraws the State out of the reach . of the usurped powers, and, there fore is not a means of resistance within those resolutions or the, principles of State Rrights and State Remedies. GREAT DISCOVERIES MADE TOO LATE. Prom the New Hampshire Democrat They tell' ne of a 'gold, a silver, an iron a brazen and a dark age. The present. is the age of discovery.

That 300,000 nine months' men would finish it. 16_ That the Maine, New York, New Jersey and Ohio militia would do it. 17. That 300,000 drafted men will do it. 18.

DinuNG A MARRIAGE c'eItEXONT thi bride was sobbing immoderately-while the knot Was being tied. "What is the matter, my young woman?" asked the official. "Oh, sir," replied th e bride, "it's because Ws forever," "No, n o," replied the Petton; "that's a Mitotakea great mistake—it's not forever. Death puts an end to the engagement."
