BLUSTER AND TREASON.

In an article on 'lhe Slavery Convention at
Nashville" the New York Mirror says: "'rhe
general tone OF the leading Southern men par.
takes so much of the spirit of hluSter aud bra
vado, that we attach bu, little Importance to
their impotant ,hrcalenings 10 dissolve the
Union The dissolution of the Union is a
moral impossibili,y. Such calamity could
only he effected by majority in both Houses
of Congress; and we have too much faith in
the Almighty Ruler of Nations, to believe that
a dozen men in either branch Of Congress.
would ever be LETT so abandoned of God and
reason, as to raise sacrilegious hand against
the blood GENE ard Union Of the States.
"lhe very first suspicion of rebellion against
the Union. on the part of single State, or a
single individual, would bring the moral and
physical force Of twenty millions Of Unionists
upon the devoted head of the offender. Trea
son is the very highest crime that can be COM
miled against the Stale. The statute still ex.
ists and the penalty under the Constitution is
as summary and severe as the ancient code Of
Draco."
The above is a fair specimen Of the spirit
and manneriin which the Northern press speak
of Southern men and the slavery question: The
Mirror is not particularly rahid. There arc
others much more abusive aud denunriatory.
Observe in what matter "f Course style il says:
'the general tone Offending Southern men par.
takes SO much of busIer and bravad", that We
attach but little Importance 10 their imPoeni
threats" &c. The man speaks as it he were
u,tcring recognized truth, and is as cool about
it as if he were paying compliment, instead
of asserting that the leading men Of the South
are clustering, Dragging. impudcnt and lying
bullies; for that is the plain English of what he
does say. Yet the Mirror, we hav, ro doubt,
speaks what is the sentiment Of the people about
il, for all the other newspapers talk in the same
way. Now supl C the Southern press should
adopt an equally complimentary strain, and as
Northern men mistake Southern ardor for bra.
yoda, the South should SC, down Northern cold
ness as cowardcc, and denounce Northern
men as unprincipled and degraded Poroons.
1t would he quite as just as the epithets bestow.
ed upon the leading men Of the South. but we
rejoice to say lha, no Southern press has stoop.
ed 10 such calumuy and denunciation.
The talk about ''treason" and the "penalty
under the constitution" is characteristic, and
illustrates the Northern crotchet, that dsso'u
lion is treason, and that somehow if the South
ern States endcavor to dissolve partnership.
the North can have them take to The City Hall
at New York. try them for treason, and hang
them at a lamp post. The idea is prevalent
among the cockneys. and especially rank in
infant schools and nurseries. But fortunately
the ''code of Draco" is not in conformity with
the genius Of American institutions, and if it
were, the North cannot raise "posse comia-
,us" big enough to put it in execution.

We notice the arrival o(thc steamship Isabel,
