From the Richmond Euquirer.J Mr. Calhoun proposed, as the means of preserving the Union from the war which now desolates it, that the Executive De partment of the Federal Government should bo reposed in two agents instead of one. His dual Executive was derided ; but the wisdom of his proposition, no less than his patriotic love for the Union of which he was charged with being the de termined enemy, is now apparent to all. Two Presidents the one for the North, and the other for the South, with the con currence of both to every law would have prevented the election of Mr. Lin coln, and made the Southern States secure of all the rights within the Union. Hut that remedy can now do nothin" mom . . c than point out an analogy. The war has created the necessity for two Presidents, two Congresses, two Judiciaries, in fact, tor two nations. Each independent, tut not necessarily indifferent to the welfare of the other. The domestic affairs of the two sections should be managed separate ly and exclusive! v by the authorities se lected by the people. If our inerny would but consider the abolition of slavery among the people of these States in its practical bearing, the utter impossibility of accomplishing it would be apparent to them. If no prin ciple was involved, if no interest was at stake, how could four millions of tvo negroes exist among eight millions of whites .' I lie institutions of the States of the Confederacy and those of the Union are based upon different and opposite principles ; the former upon negro slavery, and the latter upon white freedom. The necessities of each require a separate Go vernment, the good of both would be pro moted by two governmental organisms, and the power and influence of all, undi minished by the .separation, would alwavs exist in aiaity as against an assailant of cither. The American continent, for American civilization, is as much a Con federate as a Federal sentiment, and, not withstanding the passions excited and aroused by this war, the peoples of the two sections must ever lean more on each other than on any other nation. Our corqut-st only could make u the ally of a foreign power nrrainst the United S:rJ, Subjugated, the people of the Confederate Statc-s wouid become the Ireland, the Po land, the Hungary of the American con tinent, welcoming any and every cnejny of the U'nii. d States as their friend .-u,,! deliverer, and ready at all times to reopen the contest. 15ut as an independent na tion the closest alliance that can unite the peoples should exit between them, and an insult to one would be an ollenso to the other. The " national unity " of an emnire or kingdom may be preserved by conquest, but force belongs not to constitutional go vernments. Compromise is the onlv nrin- t . 1 . l i -I cipie oy which popular governments can perpetuate their existence. When the ap peal to arms was made the peaceful reme dy of compromise was made impossible ; and now four years of war ha3 so wi dened and deepened the gulf that separ ates the two sections, that they can never be again united in peace. Intoxicated by suuuen ana partial success, Mr. Lincoln may imagine that our conquest is within his power and means. No words of ours can be more convincing than four years of war, but in the interest of humanity will the sober thought ever dispel the de lusion that by conquest, by arms, by war, a " lasting peace " can be made between The "State of Maine" is paddled through the troubled waters of "Ilell- cate, 2 f: Unknown t7 "f", 'T' 1-H.ninary de! j r ng the Unknown to escort her to her resi- , cations of this body.
