In Order to make the blockade of the South ern porta thus complete, the American govorn ment mu*t have vessels enough to blockade ' every port, otherwise the British government . - will feel themselves compelled, in accordance : : ‘ywith tbeir engagements with other powers, to ■ - disregard the restriction and carry on their Commerce with the Southern ports as if no Bach'blockade had been announced. . ... Xt la understood that it is also the intontion . i£. Morcier, Ihe French Minister, to give notification to the government in ro v-; - -gard to France, and that all the European 'f Bowers, inconsequence of the peculiar rela ' • tWtis they have with the commerce of the "'■’yiwSria, will likewise take advantage of the Keaty of Paris and act in accordance with the policy adopted bv the French and English governments. —A- 1 • Herald. This means, when the great extent of gea ooast to be blockaded is taken into consideration, that a mere announcement of a blockade on paper by the United States, will be disregarded by England and other foreign powers. It is impossible for our little navy to effectually blockade this Vast extent of sea ooast, and if it is not fechud, it will not be acknowledged, and cannot be earned out without going lo war ' with England. The public law of block ades will not suffer commerce to be inter rupted in violation of law. It is very correctly inferred from the above announcement, that it is very evi dent that neither Franco nor England will permit a blockade of the cotton States, and , that it is highly probable they already have - an understanding on the question, as they had in the case of the interruption of their in China. And who can doubt that joint action will be again equally deci- #ive? Should the President, therefore, carry out the policy indicated in his in- augural, he may calculate not only upon a war with fifteen Southern States, but a dis astrous war with England and France in lea* than six months.^ The London Herald of Feb. sth, in antici ■k pation of the news above announced, says: “The United States, so loDg as they cohered, felt strong enough to stand aloof from the public law of Europe; but the secession move ment, besides opening up a door tor the treaty of p*ris being revised, and made, without ex ception, the law of nations, U likely to raise questions of international right, which we *hall have the deepest interest. The United States government was originally founded • upon certain delegated powers by a communi • ty of Sovereign States, who have still exer used- their independent sovereignty, and it is held by the seceding States that the delegated powers may now be withdrawn. Jj wr mwt assent to this riyht toe maj / claim admission to llu. Southern ports to carry mereluindisc on th'' ican principle of free ships, nuihny tree ■ji&i.', while, if we deny the rxyhi, n e shall, no d'>“lt, (■+- ourselves from the Southern trade. Thus it appears, if the President attempts to carry out the policy announced in bis inaugural, that we shall have England and France against ua, as well as the Southern Bepubiic. If the new administration attempts to re inforce Fort Sumpter aud retake the prop erty which has been taken possession of by, the seceding States, and thus initiate a co ercive policy, it is rather a difficult question to say how the matter is to oe accomplished. The Force Bill failed in Congress because of iU unconstitutionaiiiy, and because moder ate Republicans were averse to coercion while there was any possibility of any set tlement. How Mr. Lincoln is to carry out his programme, without calling an extra session of Congress, we do not see. He cannot increase the army and navy, and it is not large enougti and strong enough to pat down the Southern army, which num bers thirty thousand determined men. It also appears that Lord Lyons, the British Minister, has notified the government at Washington, that his government will not recognize merely a proclamation of the blookade ot the Southern ports on the part of Mr. Lincoln’s administration, but that a blockade, to be considered such, must be effectual. It is stated, too, that the French government, also, will soon give, similar offi cial notification, and that this course will probably be followed by all the leading European Powers having commercial inter ests at stake. How Mr. Lincoln is going to raise the men, and the money, and the Bhips to meet all the consequences which the policy of coercion will give rise to, we do not see. It will be a great risk for him to cal an extra session of Congress, and without the Legislative power his hands are tied. The Raleigh Standard, of Saturday last, states that the returns of the election re ceived up to the hour of going to press, left no doubt but that the State had gone largely in favor of the Unionists : but, in speaking of the successful parly as Unionists, it says : It is not to be understood that that party will submit to the administration of the Gov ernment on sectional or Black Republican principles, but that they are anxious to pre serve the Union on a constitutional basis, and to obtain such guarantees as will lead to a per mauent re construction of the Union. The Unionists entertain hopes, and nearly all of them strong hopes, that the Union can and will be preserved, and they are willing to show that, faith in this respect by their works. They are opposed to disunion at this time, and woula regard it any time as fraught with nu merous and great calamities; and they are also opposed to the attempts which are being made to Mexicani:c this Rrpublic by breaking it up and incurring tbe hazards of revolution Simply on account of ibe election of Mr. Lin. qoln to the Presidency. The vote in favor of a Convention will be fljnfta, but sufficient to carry. The view the members elect may take of Mr. Lincoln’s policy, as Bbadowed forth in hia inaugural, - ffiU gpeedily settle the question whether the Old North State will go into the South ern Confederacy or remain in the Union. The ■ telegraph has informed us that five Republican Senators voted against the con firmation of Mr. Bates, of Missouri, and Mr. Blair, of Maryland, as members of Mr. Lin coln’s cabinet, because, they belonged to Slave Stales. Here is sectionalism with a ven geance. The extremists of the North are worse than those of the South. We refer this case to the especial consideration of the Djispatch. . ' • THE INAUGURAL.

The closing Beenes of the Thirty-Sixth Congress were without the usual excilment which ha* heretofore attended this occa sion, and were unusually interesting. Be low we give the speeches of the retiring offi cers of the House and Senate, and the re marks of the new -\ice President, Mr, Hamlin : MR. rXNXrKGTON’s SPEECH. Id the House, the Speaker rose midst marked silence and delivered the following address: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: We have now arrived at the close of the thir ty-sixth Congress. During its passage scenes of an extraordinary character have been wit nessed. Several States have Beceded, and all their members, with one exception, have left this Hall. No lover of his country can witness such an exhibition without feelings of the deepest anxiety. 1 have not felt it my duty to deviate from the established practice by entering into ais» cussion on the floor. Indeed the demands upon the time of the chair are sufficient in its view without it. And it is wise. The Speaker should not be entangled in the cuntl cts of de bate. You will permit mo, therefore, before part ing, to say publicly wbat is well known to many, if not all of you, that I have ever been, and am now, and, I trust, ever shall remain a devoted friend of the Union of these Slates, and favorable to any just and liberal compro mise. Tho report of the Committee of Three of this House met with my cordial ap proval, and I have never hesitated to declare ray belief that a Convention of all the States to consider actual or supposed grievances, was tho proper and most available remedy. As a member of tho Union, I declare :ry conviction that no tenable ground has been assigned for a ( f the ties which bind everv American citizen in his country, and impartial history will so decide. My confidence in the American peoplo is such that I believe no just c* mp'tint can long exist without a redress at their hand? 1 hero is always a remedy in the l rnon. With lb’s view I still declare my wilungncis to join in monbures of compromise. 1 would do so because of the ancient ties that have bound us together ur der institutions framed by our father?, and und *r a consiitU' tion signed by the immortal "Washington. I would do so for the national honor eomitted to the experiment of free institutions 1 would do so for the love I bear my countryman in all parts of our beloved land, and especially so 'or the sake of the noble band of patriots in the border States, who, iD the mid?l of grent opposition, have stood, firm like rocks in the ocean, tor the peace and perpetuity of ibu Union. But, gontlemen, I may not further dwell on these general subjects. For the discharge of the duties of this nation, to which I was called by your kindness, 1 can only say that it has been my purpose to do all in my power to promote your comfort as members, t * deal im partially with all, and to advance tho bodt in lert.HU of my country. So far as any success has attended my ad ministration in the chair, it is to b>* ascribed very much to the kindness and forbearance o! the members of tho House. I claim f>>r inyuell only tbo merit of good intentions and honest purposes. The resolution you have been pleased to adopt is truly gratifying, and will bo among my most agreeable recollections of this place 1 thank you, gentlemen, for this mark ol your approbation. I could not fail to remark that this resolution was by the oldest member of ibe House, by whom 1 was Kw»uK s si'KKi it Twelve o’clock having arrived, the Vice President called tho Senate to order, and said: Senators—ln taking my final leave of this position, I shall ask a few moments in which to tender mv grateful acknowledgments for tho resolution declaring your approval of the manner in which, I have discharged its duties, and to express a deep sense of the uni form courtly which, as presiding officer, i have received from tbe members »f this b->dy If I have committed errors, your generous forbearance refused to retuko them. And during the whole period of my services 1 have never appealed in vain to your justice and charity. The memory of these acta will ever be cherished among the most grateful recol lections of my life. For my successor 1 can express no hotter wish than that be may enjoy these relations of mutual confidence which have so happily marked our intercourse. Now, gentlemen of the Senate and officers of tbe Senate, from whom I have received bo many kind offices, accept my gratitude and cordial wishes for your properity and welfare MB. HAMLIH S SI’KECII Mr. Hamlin, the Vice President elect, then steppod forward and said: Senators —An experience of several years in this body has taught me something of the duties of its presiding officer: and with a stem, inflexible purpose to discharge those dutiea,faith fully relying upon the courtesy and coopera tion of Senators, and invoking tbe aid of Di vine Providence, 1 am now ready to take the oath required by tho constitution and enter upon tho discharge of tbo official duties assign ed me by the confidence of a generous people. Vice President Hamlin then took the oath of office prescribed by the Constitution as ful lows: “I, Hannibal Hamlin, do solemly swear to support the Constitution of the United States.” COUNTY REFORM. The Journal states that three parties are at work, reforming the county government. The Auditors, the Commissioners and the County Executive Committee, have each a proposition before the Legislature, for the better regulation of our county affairs. We hope the reform will be consummated, and the work done well, for in a multitude of counsellors there is safety. WHEN WILL THEIR HEAD* GO OFF ! The hordes of office seeking Republicans are getting very uneasy to know when Mr. Lincoln will commence cutting off the of ficial heads of the present officials of the country. Do give the \*>or man time to get his pen nibbed. Did Massachusetts ever Secede. Certainly she did. On tho 26ih of March, 1845, tbe Legislature of Massachusetts passed the following resolution: Resolved, That Massachusetts hereby refuses to acknowledge the act of the Government of the United States authorizing the admission of Texas as a legal ant in any way binding her from using her utmost exertions for co-opera tion with other States, by every lawful and constitutional measure, to annul its conditions* and defeat its accomplishment. ..

LETTER FROM]’ALTOONA. Altoona House, March 5, 1861. Dear Post:— Tbe idea having struck- me a few moments ago, that you might think I had “cut your cotton,” since my appointment as a government officer, I concluded to drop you a few lines to let you see that notwithstanding the cares, responsibility, and dignity of my exalted “posish,” I still condescond to take you, and your readers into account. In fact it would-be uDgraloful in me, in prosperity, to forget the good old Post, which, during so many years of adversity, permitted mo to tie to it. And ob! how -many the changes, both in men and things which have taken place since I first did hitch to tho Post When the writer Aral knew it, James F. Campbell, Esq., the present editor of the Blairsville Record, worked a few hundred copies of tbe daily on a hand press, in tbe third story of tbesame old corner. Now Etoam pre.-ses are used in turning off thousands of large, handsome looking sheets. Those who then worked on the papor, in differ ent capacities, have nearly all coanged their business and locations, borne of them have since served their country as State and National Legislators, Governors, Ministers to foreign countries, «&e., while many good fellows, with whom I labored at case, and whoso memories will always occupy a warm place in my heart, have set their last stickful!, corrected tbeir last pro* f, and their manly forms are now locked in that narrow chase, the grave. But I am digressing, and these latter thoughts are sad. While all these and many more changes have happened to the Po.i/.and those connected with it, tbe hand of time and improvement havo made wonderful alterations hereabouts. It seems to me but as yesterday, when the ground whero now stands ihe comfortable hotel, in whkh 1 am writing, was covered, and all around it, with a thick heavy lurest, with no Bign of a cabin, cleared fluid, or improvement. II w changed tbo scare!
