It ineuy for the Republimn laden—for the President elect and his political moci nes—to deny thetthe party which triumphed in the late elech'lin in an Abolition poly; but it in mtceptihle of the clurcnt demon stration, that if it in not based upon the identical principles which Gui-risen and hi. follow-laborer: advocated at the outset. it lma espoused enough of those doctrines to embody all the antipathy to slavery among the pmplt‘ ot‘ the North. and to aecure the votes (with very insignificant. exceptiom) of the whole Abolition element in North ern vciety. To do this and still Itecr clear of the odium oftiurrimn Abolitionism was a delicate feature in the tactic-1 of the Re publican party; but the reault. proves that there were not. lacking political leaders equal to the emergeney.aml that their work luv- been executed with consummate akin and enmity. But this fact by no means does away with the essential circumstance that it is to the culmination of Abolitionism. through the political Agency of the party which has elevated Mr. Lincoln to power. that we are indebted for our present nation al calamities. .

A Virtual dissolution will have taken place. whilst the forms ofits ex istenceremuii.

One section will stmd in meat cing and hostile srriiy against the other.— The collinion of opinion Wlll be quickly fol lowed by the club of arms. I will not st tempt to describe the scenes which now happily lie conealed from our View. Aboli tionists themselves would shriek back in dismay and horror st the contemplation of dosolnted fields, conflagratcd citics, murde— red inhabitants, snd the overthrow of the hired fsbric of human government. that ever rose to snimctc the he of civilized mm.

UNION AS IT IS. It was perfectly' evident that the mad advocates of the " irrepressible conflict" had determined to prevent the meeting. and to choke down free speech at all hazard;— Letters were written in advance, ntating that this would be done. and rumors were current that the Wide Awake organization would be present and take charge of the meeting. At the appointed hour a large number of those who were invited under the call to be present, went to City Hall and attempted to organize the meeting. when a scene of the most din-graceful disorder and confusion en— sued. It had evidently been intended to Erevent an endorsement of any comfmmise y force of numbers; but mwdyium efented its own ends. and yells and shout: took the place of order and reason. The scheme of “ the irrepmibles" had been well laid, and the attempt to prevent hundred: of peaéefhl citizens of Pitt-(burg from a fair and honest ex reunion of their love for the Union wru- eflPectunll carried out. Thoae who had pdd for the lull were not permitted to me it, and a Union mm meeting of the citizens of Pittsburg was ef fectually crushed out by the cohorts ot'Black Re üblicaniam. The “'ide Awake rabble wits: good clothea and bad clothes was tri nmphant.

According to a correspondent of the New York Times, the follomng in the substance of the letter of Col. Kayne. the South Caro lin. commissioner, which he in said to have communicated to the President on Saturday: In it demand is made for the surrender of the fort; first, on grounds of the right of eminent domain in the sovereign ; and secondly. on the ground of the right of the sovereign to condemn to public use any prOperty necessary for its own protection And independence, by paying thcri-furafair compensation. The document genuine: the complete independence of South Carolina, and this assumption carries with it the first proposition. .. bidet the second head he argues that the position of the udniinistration I: nbzmnl if the {arts be regarded as propertv only, and the purpose be to protect it.
