RUTLEDeE undertook to Socede from that Union.
They met publicly in convention and adopted a
plan of government for the seeding States, and
q mt il round for them to consider, with the pro-
posa that if nine of them would agree TO it, they
would secede from the Union, although the ar
ticles of confederation expressly declared, what
the present federal Constitution does not, that
that Union was perpetual, and the articles unal-
terable, except with the concurrence of all the
States. And they did secede They actually
dissolved that glorious Union, the Union of the
revolutionary war, the Union OF the stars a nd
stripes. They divided that glorious Union for n
time, into four or five Independent powers
Why, this very federal Constitution now of ours,
is the offspring OF secession-of secession from
the American Union. And the secessionsts
improved, as was thought, 80 much OIL the pre-
vious unonst u.s. that the latter finally all gave
up the old system, seeded from it, and came
over to the secessionists And there was Just
as much right and power under the old confed-
Grafton to coerce States, AS there is under the
present But the men of that day were not
quite 80 far advanced in consolidation as Mr..
CLAY.
Mr. Clay, after denying the right of seces-
sion, admits the right Of revolution, which he
says is the right of the oppressed in all nations,
and all conditions. That is to say, that State
of this Union has no more right to govern itself
than a serf of Russia, or slave. AS such a
proposition is too absurd for argument, we will
only say, in reference to it, that there is no such
thing as the right of revolution at ALL No such
right was asserted in our revolution. The right
of revolution is the right of might is the
subsection of reason TO will and to force-a
conclusion that would degrade man below the
BRUTE for the latter is governed by instincts
that, in great degree restrain his passions
more than man.
Mr.. CLAY looks with horror on dismem-
bered confederacy, independent States, quarrels,
and wars. We suppose that men would be very
like men, whether in or out of the Union. If
they are disposed to modest or defraud each
other, it would be rather less convenient to ac-
complish it by military array and fields of bat.
tle than by the safe and easy method of meet
:ng in Congress, and voting away lands and
god. We are not aware that any evangelical
influence presides over that body, particularly
since the compromise was passed.

HANGING OF KossVTH AND FRIENDS IN Eff

Daily Ne,os wr ties thus, IN regard to this matter
briefly mentioned in the telegraphic accounts

On the 22d September, early, the names and
etfigies of the Hungarian fugitives were publicly
executed by hanging them in the market place
of Pesth, with all the dreadful solemnities which
accompany the execution OF a human being
Disappointed in their passionate desire to wreak
the most frigbtful vengeance on the head OF

Pesth, reports the fact 10 the simple terms which
a state of siege permits.
The mil tGry were drawn out and formed into
square, within which there a; peared the usual
gallows. The officer in command read the SEN

treason. The sentence having been read, the
hangman was ordered to do his duty, which he
did by hanging up string of black boards, on
which the name of the sentenced criminals were
written.
or course the military were indispensable,
otherwise the populace would instantly have
torn down the boards and hung the hangman
and his commanding officer in their place.

We have now no longer any doubt of the

the esteem of the world We trust, too, that
we shall thus give other powers proof that if,
from diversity of causes, our empire has de

and that these same feelings will never allow us
TO suffer the most insignificant outrage against
