Tlie Crisis.
It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome
was burning, and many of the Black Repub
lican .leaders appear equally jubilant at
the present time, although the destruction cf
the Government under which they live, seems
inevitable. The idea that the dissolution cf
the Union was an event which might possibly
occur, though in far distant ages, called up
painful emotions in the breast of Washing
ton. Ife knew that it would be followed by
war, anarchy and confusion, and that the
idea that man is capable of self government,
would be thenceforth forever abandoned He
therefore warned his countryman to beware
of sectional parties as the most dangerous en
emies the Union would encounter, and implo
red them to regard that Union as the palla
dium of their liberties, as the protector of
their rights as freemen. But few. even at
this day, are, we think, willing to deny that
Washington was a profound statesman who
loved his Country; but still, from the indiffer
ence with which many cf the leaders of the
Lincoln party regard the signs which indicate
the speedy dissolution of the Union, we believe
they secretly consider the views expressed by
uini in hu larewelt aauress, as "oia logyisa
and unworthy of attention in this enlightened
Age. They seem to regard the dissolution cf
the Union as ao event neither to be dreaded
or avoided, and which, while pregnant with
evils for the South, cannot possibly injure the
North. It may be very consoling for them
to think so now Let them, if they will, shut
their eyes against the approaching danger,
until disunion is upon them with its train of
horrors. It may not look terrible to them
when contemplated at a distance, for it Las
rot yet assumed its most hideous form; but it
may soon do so. As Robroy Mac Gregor said,
"they who scoffed at the grovelling worm and
tpurned him, may parcbance, be the first to
cry and bowl, when they see the stoop of the
flying and fiery-mouthed dragon."
Scarcely a Republican Statesman or a Re
publican newspaper has now a word to say in
favor of conciliation. They nearly all advo
cate coercion and contend that the grievances
cf which the South complain, ars pot real
bat imaginary. TLey are not willing to re
cede a single inch from their present position
in order to prevent a civil war. They are
not startted or alarmed at the idea os keeping
the Union together by force, by holding a
lash over nearly one half of the States ; al
though they cannot but know that this Union
ia a Ieaga3 of love, and net of oorr.pulsion, and
that a State compelled by an armed force to
remain in the Union would cease to be a soc
erefjn State, and be degraded into a conquer
ed pio'.icce.
Certainly if force is to be resorted to, in
order to prevent seeeesion, it should be resor-

by repealing their laws, nnilifying the fugi
tive Siave law; let abolitionism be every
where frowned down and discouraged ; let the
Northern members of Congress advocate the
Ukicg of immediate steps for amending the
Constitution, in accordance with the sugges
tions of Mr. Buchanan in his annual Mes
sage; let them instead of making &coercion
speeches, advocate union, harmony and con
ciliation. By pursuing c course cf this kind
we believe the Union can be saved. The op
posite course if pursued will render its dis

is too profound and farseeiog a 'statesman, to
be alarmed at triflvs, and they must be . cir
cumstances of magnitude and importance,
which have caused him to despair of tbe pres
ervation of the Union.
Congress has cot and will not do anything
during the present Session to restore tranquil
ity to the Nation. The Republican members
instead of favoring conciliation and a rni'd
and forbearing spirit, strongly urge and ad
vocate coercion. They are evidently as anx
ious for dissolution as the South CaroliniaLS.
Governor Biler of this State, recently de
livered a powerful Union speech in tbe U. S.
Senate. He is not willbii to "give np the
State. Its laws are supreme and binding only
so far as they are passed in pursuance of the
Constitution. The duty vf tire . President is
only to execute the law fo the letter as it is
written. We have co common law to fall
back upon when the written law is defective.
In the collection cfcutoms and revenues, he
ba3 a particular method pointed oat for him
to adopt, and if the machinery furnished by
Cougress for the collection of duties should
become so deranged or broken up that it could
not be used, there would be no bgal reason
for substituting a different kind of machinery
in its place. The Government is the owner
of the public land3 and national property, and
the Attorney General thinks the President
will be jastiSed ia taking ruch measures as
he may deem necessary for their protection.
It had the right of keeping exclusive posses
sion and repelling intrusion, and could take

Tbis has never occurred except when the par
ties were impudent Abolitionists, of the John
Brown school, who were tampering with the
slaves in order to induce them to run away or
revolt. It is ao wonder they were compelled
to leave under the circumstances, and were
occasionally treated to a coat of tar and feath
ers. Why didn't they leave their Abolition
ism at heme, and attend to their legitimate
business?

purpose of expressing the hope that it maybe

aside all worldly cares and employments on
this day, and for all especially the "rising
generation." to have a merry time of it, by
giving a hearty welcome to,
"Mirth, that wrinkled care derides,
And laughter, hohlingVrth his sides-."
Tbe event commemorated however, is of
too solemn and impressive a character, to jus
tify that wild revelry and excitement, which
too many substitute for innocent mirth and
rational pleasure. Once more we'say, a mer
ry a'nd happy Christmas to all.

what will be its effect i. He allude3 particu
larly to the fact that the country was never
so rich as it is now, and that the financial
pressure has been the result of the intrigues
of fanatical and pestiferous politicians. Tbe
attention of Congress is called to the fact that
receipts of the Treasury have already bsen
diminished to a dangerous degree, by the ex
isting state of things. The Secretary recom
mends that Treauty notes, secured by pledge
of the public lands, shall be substituted for
stock in the eleven millions of the new loan
yet to be raised, and also asks that Congress
will give to tbe President and tbe Secretary
of the Treasury, authority to issue limited
amounts of Treasury notes when the exigen
cies of the public service require it. The
Secretary also asks the authority to issue tea
millions in Treasury notes atonc-io order
that the government may meet tbe lawful de
mands upon it.
