I would again reiterate my opinion that the Ad-
ministration desire peace, and mean to have and
keep it if possible. Peace is dictated as a financial
necessity, if nothing more, and is manifested by all
the acts of the President thus far. Where there is " a
will there is generally a way ;" but exactly how
the difficulties are to be met, and yet a collision
avoided, is more than the Government, which is
feeling its way, can yet say. While the tone of the
" inaugural" and of all the acts of the Administra-
tion is peaceful, the news from Texas continues to
look threatening.. General Houston, who has been
deposed by the Convention, refuses to submit, and
threatens to make armed resistance. Parties are
more divided in that State than in any other. Com-
plete anarchy of opinion seems to reign there.
Some want independence—some to remain in the
present Union—some to join the Southern Confede-
racy—and what is more remarkable, they seem to
have a representative everywhere—two Govern
ments at home, a senator at Washington, and a
senator at Montgomery. Out of this state of
anarchy there threatens to come bloodshed.
The rival Confederacies are in the market each
for a loan. The South ask 15,000,000 dols. upon
bonds issued under the following Act, to be issued
after April 17 in sums from 50 dols. to 1,000 dols.
at the option of the purchaser, bearing interest at
the rate of 8 per cent., and secured by an export
duty on cotton as named in the Act :
" AN ACT TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE
GOVERNMENT AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE DEFENCE
OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.
" Sec. 1. The Confederate States of America do enact,—
That the President of the Confederate States be, and he is
hereby, authorised, at any time within 12 months after the
passage of this Act, to borrow, on the credit of the Confe-
derate States, a sum not exceeding fifteen millions of dols.,
or as much thereof as in his opinion the exigencies of the
public service may require, to be applied to the payment of
appropriations made by law for the support of the Govern-
ment and for the defence of the Confederate States.
" The Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorised, by
the consent of the President of the Confederate States to
cause to be-prepared certificates of stock or bonds, in such
sums as are hereinafter mentioned, for the amount to be
borrowed as aforesaid, to be signed by the Registrar of the
Treasury, and sealed with the seal of the Treasury; and
the said certificates of stock or bonds shall be made payable
at the expiration of ten years from the Ist day of September
next ; and the interest thereon shall be paid semi-annually,
at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, at the rreasury and
such other place as the Secretary of the Treasury may de-
signate. And to the bonds which shall be issued as afore-
said shall be attached coupons for the semi-annual interest
which shall accrue, which coupons may be signed by officers
to be appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of the
Treasury. And the faith of the Confederate States is here
by pledged for the due payment of the principal and interes
of the said stock and bonds.

"3. At the expiration of five years frem the Ist day of
September next, the Confederate States may pay up any
portion of the bonds or stocks upon giving three months'

previous public notice at the seat of Government of the par-
ticular stocks or bonds to be paid, and the time and place
of payment; and from and after the time so appointed no
further interest shall be paid on said stock or bonds.
" 4. The certificates of stocks and bonds shall be issued in
such form and for such amounts as may be determined by
the Secretary of the Treasury, and may be assigned or de-
livered under such regulation as he may establish. But
none of them shall be for a less sum than 50 dole. ; and he
shall report to Congress at its next s6ssion a statement in
detail of his proceedings, and the rate at which the loans
may have been made, and all expenses attending the same.
"5. From and after the Ist day of August, 1861, there
s!iilf be lev;ed, collected, and paid a duty of one-eighth of
une cent. per pound on all cotton in the raw state exported
from the Confederate States, which duty is hereby specially
pledged to the due payment of interest and principal of the
loan provided for in this Act, and the Secretary of the Trea-
sury is herebrauthorised and required to establish a sink-
ink fund to carry into effect the provisions of this section.
Provided hewzwer, that the interest coupons, isbued under
thi tecond section of this Act, when, due, shall be receivable

coin concurs with Mr. Buchanan in saying that' the
award ought to be annulled.
The Government, as well as the people of
the North, are waking up to the idea that
the Morrill Tariff was an act of insanity
towards friendly European nations, and also an
act of folly to mere matter of revenue. The
means by which to neutralise the operation of
the low duties of the Southern Confederacy have not
yet been determined. The question is one of great
embarrassment. Without recognising the indepen-
dence of the Southern Confederacy it will be impos-
sible to establish Custom-houses and impose duties
along the Northern frontier of the seceded States.
Their low tariff goes into effect on the Ist of May
and already the North-Western States are pro-
mising to supply themselves with foreign goods
through Southern ports. I think that the Adminis-
tration will be obliged to call an extra Session of
Congress, when, I think, the indignation against
the Morrill Tariff will make itself heard in unmis-
takable tones that will compel a repeal.
I have received from the Census Department the
following official table, just published, showing the
population of the United States and Territories,
according to the Seventh Census (1850), and the
Eighth Census (1860), respectively :
