Consequences of Secession.-lf the General
Government applies force to prevent the seces'
sion of State, or to coerce her after seces-
sion. it must either be denial i'll solemn form
of the right of secession under any circumstan-
ces, or an act of war against a foreign State.
If the right be denied we will have the strange
spectacle of Il republican government founded
on force; and not only a republican govern
ment (for our central authorities do not form
government, properly speaking, nor is that term
applied to them by the highest authority but

while all its constituent sovereIgnties profess to
have entered it volunt y, and to remain in it
voluntarily.
If, on the other hand, the right be admitted
and force be used on other grounds, will be for
the United States to show the causes and mo-
tives of war. A republican and limited gov.
errment, enacting the tragedy of Poland or
Hungary, will he a spectacle OF which the
world will require some explanation. 1t will
remain, therefore, for the President and his
Cabinet, to show cause why they wage Il war

Mr.. SUMMERS LETTER.

A letter is now travelling the circle Of the
Ameircan press, from tie nct.d Abolltlo"ist,
Charles Sumuer, in which he expresses his de
votion to the Union, Lis opposition to section
alism with many other fine common places
The letter is add essed to the Legislature OF
Massachusetts,, signifying his acceptance Of tie
U. S. Senatorship, and is an admirable eXem-
plitcation of the remark of Taleyrand, that
language was given to man to CONCEAL his
thoughts. Much surprise has been expressed
at the tone OF this letter, as if it were manly
recantation of the doctrines of the school oil
Abolition. We are only surprised at the cool
impudence of the effort to hoodwnk the pub.
lic 1t adds insincerity to the other political
Offences of the mau who has done all within
the scope of superior literary ability, to in
doctrnatc the people of his part of the Uuion
with the pestiferous tenets OF the party to
which he is attached. This MIR. Sumner is
about to enter the Senate OF the United States.
He fca,s that sort Of social ostracsm to which
his co.labourer, Mr.. Kantoul, in the SAME
cause was subjected lie apprehends that the
contempt with which that person was greeted
when he took his seat in the Senate will be Wis
tied on himself Hence he is naturally anxious
to remove the disgust which his conduct has
INSPIRED. But he will be found side by side
with Hale, Chace and Seward in his votes aud
can no more change his character as Il Free
Soiler of the rankest character than can the
negro his skin or the leopard his spots. Abo-
lition opinions are ingr;lined in his nature, they
make part of his convictions, they have be-
come that portion Of his intellectual property
with which he entered public life, and from
Which he will never diTorce himself.

pROCRASTINATION, TIE THIEF OF TINE

REPRESENTATION, TIE THIEF OF TINE
We have never been able to comprehend
the wisdom of the course recommended by
some Of the Southern States, with regard to
the aggressions Of the Federal Government up.
on their rights. 4 few years ago, Georgia and
Virginia came to the conclusion that no fur
thcr aggrcssions could, with safety, be submit
ted to BY the South, and these States resolved
by their Legislature to resist to the death, all
further encroachnents. Since then, the Fed
cral Government has given life and effect to
the Wilmot Proviso, and abolished the slave
trade in the District of Columbia, two of the
threatened aggressions which these States de-
cared they would resist. Now, these same
States have, made new mark, and dared the
Federal Government at its peril to toe It, Who
can believe that they would not back again,
should the Federal Government advance again.
We do not, nor are we'willing to trust our
rights to the keeping of such craven spirits.
But the great misfortune of this course of
conduct is, that at every step the asgressor
grows in strength, while aggrieved in the same
ratio grows weaker. Ten years ago. the will
d, st tanaticism in the country would not have
dared to abrdge the rights of the South, south
of 3G deg. 30 min, nor have prevented the
sale of slaves in the District Of Columbia.
Do those, who insist upon procrastination, not
know that it has been very justly called the
"thicf of tmc." Are they not aware that a
flood of foreigners arc pouring into our coua.
try, whose hate of our institutions have heen
nnrturcd from their infancy, and who need but
the opportunity to degrade the master to lev
el with his slave?

Tie Friends Of the Uniom-The, Boston
Commonwealth, the organ Of the Abolition and
Freesoil party in Massachusetts,, is like Seward,
the Clays, Sumner, Fish, and Wade, great
friend OF the Union. .
In announcing the success Of Sumner, the
Commonwealth says: ,;....
's.This is one of a series of victories which
will make this indistructble Union the pride
and JOY of the world. 1t will raise the droop.
HR hopes of the slave, and of the slaveless white
ssen of the South. 1t will give courage to the
South. 1t will give courage to the thgnsands
of the true men at the South, who, like esssus
w. Clay, are longing to throw off the chain OF
the Shareholder. 1t will eectrify the ,ffeen'en
of the North. 1t will seal the death. .wsrri''t OF
the Fugitive slave law" T. i.'>sc-
We commend this passage to our "Consttu-
tional Union" and Compromise friends gen.
orally, and ask them who arc responsible for
creating belief in the North that the South can
not be kicked out of the Union, no matter what
mdignity is offered, or what outrage is COM
mttcd on Southern rights9 We hope that the
declarations of such frenls Of the South IS
Seward, Cas-. ius NJ. Clay, Sumner, Henry
Clay and the Boston Commonwealrhswll be
sufficient to induce our Union friends to open
their eyes and look whittier they are going

: Arrests of Cubans.-Our city yesterday was
full of runors concerning arrests which had
been made along the: coast between this and
Florida, of men concerned in the Cuba expe.
dtion. We endeavored to inform ourselves OF
the particulars, but were unable to get at what
may be considered a correct statement. We
can only give to our readers, therefore, what
was in every body's mouth. namely, that the
officers OH board the U. 5. revenue cutter Ia
ney, Capt Randolph, had arrested three officers,
attached to the expedition on the river above
st Mary's, and placed them i'll charge of Dep
uty Marshal Finaey. This officer arrived
here yesterday in the steamer Magnolia. with
twenty men, (ncludng the three otticers,) who
had given themselves up voluntarily. Rumor
further saith that there is still u number Of men
in the vicinity of Burnt Fort. .:..
Since writing the foregoing, we learn that
Capt. Cookagee, Of Columbus, and Lieut.. Raj
ston, OF Macon, are the officers who were ar
rested, but were simply passenSers.-Saran-
nah Republican.

The FHguice S!aue Lau.-The New York
Tribune, Of the 2nd inst in an article glory!ns
over the passage Of the compromise measures
with the exception of the Fugitive Slave Law,
has the following:
:"Ihe Law. Of 1850 must turn out to be an
imperative enactment. Indeed, it is practical
ly nulIitied already, when it costs, as in the
case of Sims, FIVE thousand dollars to catch
aud return Runaway. But if it is to be any
thing but a: self:nuIIifyirg act lying dead on
the State Book, its repeal, or essential mudti-
cation, is inevitable"
The same paper, in the article alluded to
above, speaks thus of the benefits secured to
the frce-soil cause by the passage Of the Clay
Compromise. The South has gained much.
"1hc rich blessings secured by the friends
of freedom, in the late contest with slavery,
will glow with all ever increasing lustre, and
develope from age to age i'll an ever increasing
magnitude"

A Fen Qnrstions.-We beg leave to pro.
pound the following questions to all submIs-
sionists, acquescents, aud non.actlon men-
to all believers in the divine right of the Union,
and to all who think that the best way to pre-.
serve Southern ri yhts, is to surrender them to
the keeping of the North. we hope they will
answer plainly and directly.
If secession would prove ruinous to South
Carolina; why is it that all who hate and affect
to despise South Carolina, are opposed to Sc
cession! If secession would prove injurious
to sl.very, why is it that opea abotionists at
the North, agree with the Clay and union abli-
tonist of the South, in denouncing secession!

Presidential INorements.-Wo have already
referred to the movements Of the young demo-
cracy in regard to the Hon. Senator Doug
lass, of Illinois. \ somewhat similar demon<tra
ton has been made at New York; an invitation,
nu,nerously signed, having been rendered that
gentlemen, to partake of dinner, as an evil
dence of the high est, EN- il which he is held BY
the democracy of that city.
Judge Douglass very gracefully declined the
dinner, and expressed his qualification at the
bright prospects Of the party.
4 Scott meeting was held at darrisl urg. Pa,
last week, aud Il meeting in favor of MIR. Web.
ster for the Presidency has been held at York
town, Va. The Pennsylvania movement is un'
der the auspices Of Gov. Johnston, whose
name has been mentioned iii reference to the
Vice Presidency.
Therei Is certai.ly time enough for discussion
on this subject; but we have no ideal that the
Wing party, when called upon to act seriously
in the matter, will overlook the merits of Pres
ident Fillmore. His course has been so truly
national and just that nothing but sheer party
opposition can suggest motive for thrusting
him aside.
The campaign will opea with some degree
of earnestncss during the coming winter.

SLAVE CASE AT San FRANcrsco. men.
toned 4 day or two ago, that fugitive slave
case was under examination. The Tribune's
correspondent says the slave was liberated.
The case has gone as follows:
A man from Tennessee brought slave
with him, perhaps year or more since. The
negro chose to think himself his own owner,
and walked whittier he listed. The master,
wishing to return, desired to take the boy, but
mistrustng legal aid, he seized him and attempt.

posed, and old Habeas Corpus brought the case
before Judge Morrison. This morning (April

boy, and limiting at the liability incurred by the
claimant as kidnapper; whereupon measures
were instantly taken to arrest the gentleman
This will prevent him from sailing in the steam

Judge Morrison and the subsequent proceed.
ings, will do incalculablc good in settling other
cases, and putting stop to all kidnapping.

The Fight in Ala6amd.-We see it noticed

q candidate for seat in the lower House Of
our State Legislature, announcing his willing
ness to respond to a call of the General Gov
ernment to coerce and put down South Caro-
lima, should she attempt to secede from the
Union. When the author Of this Infamous de-
claratiou and his friends shall be ready to put
doctrines into execution by marching to that
State, he will please inform US of the fact, as
there are few hercabouts that will be ready
to accommodate him with small bit of q fight
right here in Alabama. If this is the doctrin,
of the federal party, and this the manner in
which they intend to carry it OUT in Alabama,
then we say we are considerably near civil
struggle, for the ight of secession will be sus-
taincd by arms if necessary. If it to come
the sooner the better We arc ready for the
emergency. South Carolina nor any other
State cannot be cocrced or snbjugated by
federal bayonets without the bloodiest struggle
tI.at the world has ever seen.-Momgomery
