, . THE CONSTITUTION
- An appeal to the passions of mankind is'a
more ready way to incite li commnnif;.' to ac
tion, than a resort to reason. When passion is
inflamed, like au infectious disease, the circle
widens and widens until all who arc within its
influence become feverish, and for the while
reason loses it,s sway. Such appeals though
the roest efficient are the most dangerous, for
man blinded by passion may destroy his only
substantial good, or in fleeing' from anticipa
ted ijl rush upon evils ten times more terrible.
These thoughts force themselves upou us wheu
we review our history, particularly that of the
last few months. Our government was crea
ted to "establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty" nobler, better oljects
than thc30 could no people have adopted
they are summum bonum comprise all tempo
ral benefits which ra in should seek or desire.
The prosperity or adversity of any individual
has a greater or loss ctlbct on the whole com
munity. .The success of the many is the ob
ject to be attained, and its attainment proves
beyond cavil that the government lias per
formed its mission. The sun has never shone
upon a freer, happier or more prosperous peo
ple than we have been, and if we arc but wise
and study aud practice the teachings of those
who conceived aud projected our glorious
Constitution, that brilliant luminary will, as in
its regular course it .lights our eastern shores,
disclose the progressive strides which we are
making towards our manifest destiny and the
solutiou of the problem man's capability lor
elf government. Our Constitution was a
compromise. It was the product of caref ul,
prayerful deliberation. If it was not perfect',
its comprehensiveness and excellence was the
marvel of thinking men and the subject of
their panygeric. Unless impious bands des
troy it and demolish the fair fabric of a gov
ernment which has been raised upon it whilst
a jot or tittle remains it should bo respected
and obeyed, as it declares itself to be the su
preme law of the land. It is our ark of safe
ty. When a flushed and victorious majority
seeks to override the few aud trample their
rights in the dust, the minority can fly to the
Constitution, invoke its protection and it will
palsy the aim of a majority intent on wrong.
Our fathers displayed foresight in providing a
meansof changing tho organic law of the land
by amendments to the Constitution and thus
removing all reasons for revolution. Their
wisdom is apparent by the checks which pre
vent amendments in time of intense excite
ment. Tbey believed the sober second thought
of the people would correct the dangerous po
sitions assumed by men during popular com
motions. Let us, like them, view men who
pander to the prejudices of a community as
enemies of themselves and of the people. If
our Constitution docs not suit the exigencies
of the tinies let us divest ourselves of passion,
and as reasonable, thinking men, with an eye
siuglo to the good of our whole people, take
the proper steps and make such amendments
as are necessary and then trust to Providence
for the future.
The Inacgcrai.. The Philadelphia Bulle
tin, in speaking of the effects produced in that
city by Mr. Lincoln's inaugural address, says :
"The general impression in this city, among
moderate men of all parties appears to be that
the President could hardly have said more
or less. While his assurances aro full that
the rights of the South shall not be invaded,
and tiiat the Constitution shall be strictly
observed, he is equally explicit that the laws
(hall ' be faithfully enforced. If this brings
on collision, it does not appear that the res
ponsibility can rest upon him."
It is a noteworthy fact that the opinions of
many of the Northern democratic papers, in
regard to the inaugural, coincide with those
of the secessionists of the Gulf States. The
New York Ilcrall, Pittsburgh Post, and the
New Orleans Bulletin, and Charleston Mercu
ry, all unite in the cuckoo cry of "coeicion,"
while the Union journals in Maryland, Virgi
nia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and
Missouri, generally speak of the Dew Presi
dent's position in terras of approval.
The Corwi Amendment. Tbe passage by
the Senate and House of Representatives, be
fore their recent adjournment, by a two-thirds
vote, of the amendment to the Constitution
proposed by Mr. Corwin, practically disposes
of the most important point in the whole slave
ry agitation, so far as Congress is concerned,
and places it in the power of the people of the
different States, tftrough their Legislatures, by
endorsing this provision,' to remove the most
important ground for apprehension which ex
ists among tho people of the South.
North Carolina. The Unionists have car
ried North Carolina on the question of hold
ing a Convention. The State has gone against
a Convention by a thousand majority small,
but sufficient. Of the delegates elected to be
members of the Convention, in case it should
have been ordered by the people, two-thirds
are for the Union. '
Mr. Buchanan pardoned Judge Vondersmith
of Lancaster, who W38 "convicted and sentenc
ed to, the. Reniteutiary for twenty year; fyr

SUMMARY OF NEWS.
After Ex-Secretary,IIolt. The Charles
ton Mercury walks into Mr. Holt, late Secre-.
tary of yar under Mr. Uuchanau,as follows :
Joseph Holt, who is more cordially and just
ly hated and '.-despised than any man : in the,
Cabinet, has, refused to receive a box sent to
hira from" South Carolina. The box when
opened at tbe Adams Express Company's of
fice, was found to contain "most beautiful flow
ers." No one dared to disturb these flowers,
for fear of an explosion of some subtle poison.
Holt docs not deserve the honor of assassina
tion. But he is a marked man. If ever he
ventures within the confines of the Confeder
ate States, he will never return to practice co
ercion again. Tho breed of such traitors can
not be perpetuated among us." ' i
il CUSHION' in Arizon a. la the southern
portion at the Territory of New Mexico, known
as Arizona, for which we paid ten million dol
lars in hard cash, tho secession rebellion is in
full blast. Certain United Statesotiicials there
are busy stirring up rebellion against the Gen
eral Government, and proposing secession for
the purpose of uniting with the new Southern
Confederacy. If the General Government
cannot prevent the secession of States, it cer
tainly has tbe. power to enforce the laws in
and mantain; its authority over a Territory ;
and these citizens of New Mexico are furnish
ing a strong argument against the admission
of that Territory as a State, to be followed by
her immediate secession, taking our ten mil
lions along with her.
Senate Discussion. A discussion occurred
on the Cth i-i tho Senate on the printing of
the Inaugural, which elicited someexpressions
that arcworth of note. Mr. Clingman de
nounces it as a war document, intended to
provoke a collision with the South. Mr.
Douglas camo'to the rescue, and defended the
President's position with much eflect, con
tending that the Message was far more concil
iatory than he expected, and evinced a friend
ly purpose which would lead to pacification if
properly met. There was no move of evading
the duty which Mr. Lincoln' was soleinnly
pledged to discharge, and in collecting the
revenue he could not discriminate in favor of
o-ne port over another by an omission to obey
tho law without forswearing himself.
Plan eou Kk-enkouckmest. A plan was
organized sonic time ago under the direction
of . Gen. Scott for sending in supplies of men
and provisions,-which can be moved at a few,
hours' notice. Two . steamers of light draft
form the proposed expedition.' and a gallant
oflicer of the navy has volunteered to conduct
it in safety to Fort Sumter. Anderson is not
allowed to procure any more meat and vege
tables from Charleston than will la,st from one
market day to another. No stock of flour aud
other necessaries has been obtained, and in
these respects . he is worse off now than two
months ago ; and as Governor Pickens might
countermand the present privilege at any mo
ment, his position is necessarily precarious,
and must sooner or later bo relieved.
Protest Against Kecohnition. Mr.Black
recently addressed a circular letter to all for
eign Governments protesting in decided terms
against the recognition of the Confederated
States as an independent Government, and as
signing tho reason at length which induced
the remonstrance. Th protest will, of course,
be renewed, and, perhaps, by the present
Administration, so that when M. i'ancey
and his diplomatic, colleague get abroad,
tiiey may discover that . recognition by tbe
Grsat Powers is loss easy than was supposed
at Montgomery. . . .
Florida Postage Stamps. Several speci
mens of a pretended" postage stamp from
Florida have been received at Washington.
Of course they are not recognized by the De
partment, but, like letters which have been
accidently forwarded without prepayment, are
charged with the usual postage beforedelivery.
The office at Pensacola continues closed, and
several others will be in the same category be
fore long. The time has come when the
mails must be cut off If they are abused.
Feeling about the Treason of Twiggs.
Letters received on, March 8th, from a promi
nent army officer at San Antonio, state that
the conduct of Twiggs excited great indigna
tion, and while a largo majority of the troops
were in favor of tho South as they understood
the causes of difference, they were opposed
to the disruption of the Union, or the disband
ment of the forces. It is now certain that in
addition to his crime of treason,Twiggs basely
deceived all the important officers arouud him.
Wigfall Despairs of Secession. Since
the appointment of Keagan of Texas as Postmaster-General
of the Secedtrs, Mr Wigfall
begins to despair of the Confederate Stares.
He considered theia a close corporation, in
which the leaders looked out sharply for num
ber one. As Davis has shown this want of
appreciation he is half inclined to secede
again. He cannot be stationary.
From the Sotrn. The Southern Congress
has passed an Army bill which has been for
some time under discussion, and it is expect
ed that the Confederacy will soon have 50,000
men in the field. Asthat number of troops in
active service will cost at least fifty millions
oi dollars per annum, the Confederacy will find
tho question of revenue an exceedingly se
rious one.
Virginia. Hon Wm. C. Rives addressed a
large meeting on the night of the 8th, on the
subject of the Peace Conference propositions.
His remarks looked to the conciliation of the
border States and tho eventual reconstruction
of the Union. He denounces tho secession
movement in strong terms. His speech ex
cited much LTithusiasm among the audience.
Soctii Carolina. The Charleston Cuuricr of
Thursday 7th, March, says that the works in
the harbor have made formidable progress
within the last ten days, under the direction
of Gen. Beauregard, in whose charge the at
tack on Fort Sumter has been placed. Three
soldiers whose terms of ' enlistment had ex
pired, left Fort Sumter on Wednesday.
Anderson's Promotion. Maj. Aaderson's
promotion to the rank of Brigadier-General,
for the Twiggs vacancy, has not been deter
mined, because Secretary Cameron's absence
necessarily precludes any such action at this
time. There is tho best feeling toward him
by the new Administration, and by all who
estimate his faithful service.
Visit of Army and Navy Officers. Tho
officers of the Army aud Navy now in Wash
ington were received by the President, and
subsequently by Mrs. Lincoln. Commodore
Shubrick was at the head of the latter, not
withstanding the secession of South Carolina.
Ho considers the disunion experiment about
played out.
Resignation- of Judge Campbell. It is stat
ed that Judge Campbell will resign immedi
ately after the expiration of the Supreme
Court on the 14th. He has hitherto resisted
the intense pressure liom. Alabama, and is o
ven now for reunion on the basis ol the Con
stitution. Southern Commissioners. Messrs. Craw
ford, Forsyth, and Roman, the Commissioners
sent by the Southern Confederacy to demand
the surrender of the United States forts, arc
in Washington, and were to have made their
demand on the President on Tuesday.
Texas. The New-Orleans papers bring in
teresting news from Texaa. The bold stand of
Capt. Ilill at Fort Brown greatly disconcerts
tbe Rebels, and there soenis to be some danger
of a fight.
SECRET ABIES HOLT AND THOMPSON.
Ex-Secretary; Thompson's recent boast that
it was through Lis revelation of Cabinet se
crets that the Star of the West was prevented
entering Charleston", lias brought out Secre
tary Holt in a letter of reply, in which he ex
ecrates that derelict functionary as he deser
ves." 1 hopruson pretended that the sending of
reinforcemont was a concealed "trick,", but
Holt shows that the Pies:dent knew alCabout
it, as it had leen discussed in Cabinet Conncil.
He says, it is true that, in the hope ofavoid
ing a waste of human life, an endeavor was
made to "conceal" the expedition from the
hostile troops in charge of the forts and bat
teries in Charleston harbor; but this endcav
orthe vigilance and .zeal of Secretary Thomp
son defeated.' Secretary Holt says s ! ; .-' j
"This step not merely endangered the high
est public interests, but put in imminent jeop
ardy the lives of two hundred and fifty innocent
men, who had never wronged the Hon. Sec
tary, and who iu proceeding to Charleston
harbor, were simply obeying the lawful com
mand of their superior officers: The armed
enemies of tbe Government he was serving,
under, the solemn sanctions of, an oath, were,
as he declares, 'thus put upon their guard,'
and the frail vessel that was bearing succor to
its friends 'received a warm welcome from
booming cannon.' ft could not be" less than
offensive to the heart and to the intelligence
of the American people to comment gravely
on this humiliating transaction. Its true
character lias ulreadybeen determined by the
public "voice, and that voice, will doubtless
find its echo in the judgment of history. It is
well known that a persistent falsification of
the policy and conduct of the late Adminis
tration, in its relations to tho South, has prov
ed a potent instrumentality for inflaming the
popular mind of that distracted portion of the
countr', and thus giving an ever-increasing
impetus to the revolution; and the fact, that
the telegraph and the press have been under
the absolute direction of those controlling
this movement, has rendered resistance to this
instrumentality impracticable. Whateverpur
poses, therefore, were expected to bo ac
complislied by the circulation of the paragraph
which has been exposed, Wilt probably be at
tained, since the antidote now oCered cannot
possibly pursue the poison into its. ramifica
tions. If however, this explanation shall se
cure to me the coufidencc of those true-hearted
patriots who still love the Union belter
than all the spoils and power which revolution
can promise, then I shall little regard the con
demnation of men who, for the last two months,
have denounced me throughout the South,
simply and solely because I have refused to
blacken my soul with perjury, by betraying
the Government of my country, while in its
service."
Wig fall, the inevitable Wigfall, gravely in
formed the Senate on the 7th inst, that inas
much as the views of Mr. Douglas on the Pres
ident's inaugural had been'given to the conn
try, it was but right that the, country should
also have the benefit of Wigfall's opinion on
the same subject, which he then proceeded to
give in his peculiar style. The Union he said
was dead must be buried, and the only ques
tion was whether it should have a decent Pro
testant funeral, or an Irish wake. The Gov
ernment mi;ht take its choice the South
would bury the Union in any way that was de
sired. If the President did not remove the
troops from Forts Sumter and Pickens they
would soon be removed for him. The seceded
States will never come back. They will nev
er consent U live" under such a Government
as that of the United States; The United
States could have war or peace just as fliey
pleased. "No compromise or amendment to
the Constitution, no arrangement you may en
ter into will satisfy the1 South, unless you re
cognize slaves as property, and protect it a3
any other species 6f property." Mr. Douglas
replied, reasserting his opinion expressed the
day before that the inaugural was pacific in its
tone, and that Mr. Lincoln meant peace and not
war. He thought, however, that events were
rapidly drawing to a crisis, and that tbe Fed
eral Government could not long retain Sumter
and Pickens. There was a time, he said,
when Fort Sumter could have been re-enforced.
He believed it could not be re-enforced
now without the use of at least 10,000 men by
land and sea. There were but four men to serve
each gun, and they would soon be exhausted,
and beside they had not bread and salt enough
to last for thirty days. If war was to come,
there was no time to lose. Congress should be
in session, and 200,000 men in the field. These
suggestions of Mr. Douglas are obviously of
great importance. The general tone of the
South indicates a determination to force the
United States into a war.
The King ot Dahomey at His Old Work'
5,000 Human Beings Sacrificed. Another of
those horrible massacre"!, which aro a'disgrace
to humanity, h is recently taken place at Da
homey. The West Alrican Ilernld publishes
the statements from eyo-witnesses of the bar
baric "custom" just perpetrated at Dahomey.
From this fearful narrative we learn that the
recent "grand custom" of Badabung, King of
Dahomey, was one of the most revolting which
had ever taken place. Several persons aree
in stating that the number' of persons slain on
that occasion was estimate! at 2,000, but a
nother correspondent gives the number at 7,
000. He says he was present by compulsion,'
and that tho blood swept past him like a flood
into a large reservoir. Another gentleman,
referring to these inhuman butcheries, says :
"I assure you that it made me quite sick, and
at the same time I felt stunned. The poor
whetchesmet death with perfect indifference."
Tho H(ralJ, which gave Government notice
through its columns many nunthssince of the
intention of the King of Dahomey to hold an
unusual "grand custom," in remembrance of
the death of the late King, concludes the re
citals of the butcheries by stating that "Con
sul Foote has come out with full powers to
'treat' with the King of Dahomey, as to the
abolition of these sacrifices." A correspond
ent, who is well acquainted with Dahomey,
says : "The best way to 'treat' with the King
is to 'squelch' him, deal fairly by the natives,
and let the custom dte out."
Henry Clay on Riif.tt. According to the
report in the Benton abridgement of debates,
v. IG, p. 584, Mr. Clay thus spoke., in 1850, res
pecting a South Carolinian, now quite notori
ous: "Mr. President : 1 said nothing with res
pect to the character of Mr. Rhett, lor I might
as well name him. But if he pronounced a sen
timent attributed to him, of raising the stan
dard of disunion and of resistance to the com
mon government, whatever he has been, if he
follows up the declaration by corresponding
overt acts, he will be a traitor and hope he
will meet the fate of a traitor. Great applause
in the galleries, with difficulty suppressed by
the Chair."J Mr. Clay resumed : "Mr. Presi
dent : I have heard with pain and regret a con
firmation of the remark I made, that the sen
timent of disunion is becoming familliar. I
hope it is confined to South Carolina. I do
not regard as my duty what the honorable Sen
ator seems to regard as his. If Kentucky to
morrow unfurls tbe banner of resistance, I
never will fight under that banner. I owe a
paramount allegiance to the whole Union a
subordinate one to my own State." ...

.Neuuaska City, Feb. 13,1801.
Dear Father and Mother: When. I. got
back from Wisconsin, some .one had told them
that I was a salaried "nigger thief;' so T was
taken the very night I got back to where I had
been at work in the woods, by leu or twelve
rullians, stripped bare, tied to a tree a rope put
around my ucck and'Ocer a limb, and told that
I had got to "own' up" or be whipped to death.
I tried to reason, .with them, but tbey were full,
of w hisky, and of course it did no good. They
cut ii whip eight or ten fuel long (crotched),
and thcu set one man to pull up the rope, and
another to apply the forked gal,'uw7A bUh
hands until , it w as used up entirely, and then
gave me a chance to "own up" again. I told
them they could probably extort anything
they wished to by whipping loug enough, but
that as long as I had my senses I could tell
them nothing different from what I had. They
got another gad then, and used it up in the
same way ; put a fresh hand at it, ol course,
this time, whether to divide the honor or to
multiply the pain I could not determine, prob
ably the latter. Thanks to kind human nature,
il refused to feci the most of the ImihI "lift-," as
they called it. The thieo that did the whip
ing and choking were strangers.' The others
Stood off at a distance, and as it was between
8 and 11 o'clock in the night, I could not re
cognize them. Tbe leader has been justice of
peace, and is now Postmaster at Fillmore. Mo.
They tried to frighten me with their revolvers,
and one that had hold of the rope, after they
had concluded to w hip no more, stuck hi.s re
volver up to my head, and, with great gravity
and sternness, said: "Now, G-d d-u you,
own up, or I will blow your d-d. brains out."
They caught hold of him and held his pistol.
Then be swore he would break my neck, and
then jerked up on the rope, but they at length
untied me, not, however, until I hail promised
to leave and stay away, which is not hard to do.
The charge of "Abolitionist' was a base fabri
cation, got up by one or two that were owing
me, to get rid of paying. Now I hope there
may be a civil war anything for an excuse for
me fo go into Missouri, to hunt some of those
bloodhounds ; but I will bold my temper.
Four Counterfeiters Arrested and Shot.
The Memphis Enquirer, of 28th Feb. says:
We last evening learned the particulars of the
arrest of four counterfeiters and the singular
administration of summary punishment on the
part of tho people of Pocahontas, Tennessee :
Au old man named S. Carper, and his two
sons, William and George Carper, together
with a son-in-law named Gruber, were recent
ly arrested on a charge of counterfeiting at the
above named place. Upon an exa'mination
being held, the testimony, including that of a
confident, who turned State's evidence, went
to show that they were implicated with a band
of horse-thievts, robbers, and counterfeiters
of gold coin, the latter being carried on in this
city. The four were bound over for trial.
They procured bail and were released, when
they threatened the lives of their prosecutors,
and the party who had turned State's evi
dence.' This open defiance of law greatly en
raged the citizens of Pocahontas, who took the
matter into their own hands, and on Tuesday
last proceeded to re-arrest and take-them to
jail. The four men made a desperate effort to
escape, and the citizens seeing no other al
ternative and desiring to rid the town of such
a set of villians, fired upon them in their effort
to escape. The old man, S. Carper, was killed
on the spot, and the other three were suppo
sed to be fatally wounded. ' A large number
of shots were fired. We are of the impression
that George Carper was arrested in this city
some time since, on thi charge of stealing "a
trunk containing $1,000. '
U. S. Treasury. The accounts laid before
Mr. Chase on his assuming the charge of the
Treasury show that; there are f'undson hand
applicable to the current expenses of the Gov
ernment to the amount of $6,000,000. Bes ide
this, tho current receipts from tho customs
amount to $80,000 daily.
