the best of interrupting the progress of civil
lizatiOn. These three persOns--One of them said
to be decidedly mentally wrOng-another disposed
to similar melancholy dispensaton, and the third
a mere boy-are at enn ty with the enlightened
part Of mankind. The presumption of three such
creatures sitting to decide on the policy of Europe,
argues either madness or badness and the indg

privacy of their inner chamber, was not this, after
all, an age of tuft-huntng, cant, and peace socie
ties.
The private consultation of the Gar, the En-
peror of Austria, and the King of Prussia, implies
the consideration of topic on which even prime
ministers were not to be trusted. The weakness of
Frederick William, and the youth of his royal
neighbor, give obvious ascendancy to Nlcho-
las; and The result will, of necessity reflect solely
the views of Russia. The intention of the conspi

Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blackiston. 1amo. pp. 456
The title Of this book fully explains the object.
Mr.. Weld was for many years connected with the
press, having been the editor of several literary
periodicals of high character. He has now turned
his thoughts to the ministry, but appears to steal
an occasional hour for literary pursuits. His present
compilation will be much esteemed by the religious

Progress of Memphis. - The Enquirer gives
the prices of three lots OF usual size, the june
ton OF Madison and Main streets in that city, at
two different periods to prove how rapidly property
is increasing in value there. In 1914 these three
lots sold at prices Of Respectively $4,000. $4,000
and s110O, making in all 5000 and in 1851, seven
years later these lots respectively sold for $l2,000
$4,000 and $24 900, in all $42, 900.
The Enquirer remarks this excess Of value
in seven years: 1--WE doubt if any city in the
West will exhibit greater or more rapid apprecia-
tion Of value. Property in all quarters of the city
has in the same period been coming up continu-
ally in nearer or remote proportion with the FORE
going"
Exhibits Of this character substantiats nothing.
If the Enquirer is prepared to say that the above
relative values in 1914 and 1851, represent the
ratio of increase in the average value of lots in the
city of Memphis during that time, its remarks are
correct, and we tender them a cordial welcome
If the Enquirer cannot go up to that mark, "any
city in the West," that has been enjoying an ordi.
nary share of vitality for the last seven years. can
| compare lots with its three near the junction o.
Madison and Main streets" The people of Mem
phis have superiors in enterprise, and their city
has iourished exceedingly There can be none
| who do not desire to see it go and prosper.

Right OF ssess.ian.

In a letter addressed to the Hon. Daniel
Webster, dated July 20, 1851 the question is
asked-"Do you believe that State has a
right to secede from the Union2" In reply he
wrote the following letter:
AUGUST /, 1851.
DEAR Sin: | have received your letter OF the 2Oth
July.
The Constitution of the United States recognises
no right of secession, existing in the people of
any one State, any number of States II is not

proceeds upon the idea that it il to be perpetual,
like other forms of government, subject only to be
dissolved by revolution.
Iconfess / can form no idea of secession but as
the result of revolutionary movement. How ia
il possible, for instance, that South Carolina should
secede and establish government foreign to that
of the United States. thus dividing Georgia, which
does not secede, from the rest of the Union?
Depend upon it, my dear sir, that the secession
of any State would be but the first step in pro-
cess which must inevitably break up the entire
Union into more or fewer parts.

ton.

present session of Congress, expresses fully and
'plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all

sistration of the Government, in regard to what
'are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperiections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and conne1ion, they formed
a system of compromise the most concilatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tained from conflicting sectional interest and
'oplnions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion 80

will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration of the public good demands this If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message ii does not expect to stand at all.
IDANIEL WEBsTER's Letter TO the Union Meeting
at IVesichester.
The republic., 1851-08-07

by making burnt offering of Charleston2
These citizens have conceived themselves ag-
grieved by the Compromise. Who has de-
MED them the right of saying SO? Why should
the freedom of speech or of the press be re-
strained. even if it were practicable?
We have grieved that the Disunonists of the
South should condemn the Compromise so
harshly as they have been accustomed to do;
but we believe, in the words of the call, ''that
the right of citizens, as voters, is equally unde-
niable to discuss, with full and mutual regard
for the rights and interests of all parts Of the
Confederacy, (Which is as necessary now to
maintain as it was indispensable to achieve,
the blessed Union of these States the cape
diency Of such Ialcs, and the propriety of any
Of their prorisions and to seek, by constitutional
means, their repeal or modification"
Now, is there to be one law for the South
and another law for the North? This cannot be.
Upon question so momentous freemen will ex-
press their own opinions in their own language.
We are grateful that we live neither in an age
nor in country of constructive treason-of
libel against government-of letters de cachet,
or of fines, forfeitures, or Imprisonment, for the
expression of political opinions, however vio-
lent. Compromise is the motto of this age, as
compulsion was of the preceding.
If 4 compromise could be effected in South
Carolina upon the basis Of acquiescence, I"
would it not crafty every friend of the Com
promise; yet, would the citizens of South Ca
rolina be required to repudiate their past action,
renounce their past opinions, acknowledge the
justice of the Compromise, and promise to
sustain it2 We hesitate not to say, that if
South Carolina would pass her word to acqu-
esce in the Compromise, that all her past de-
clarations would be forgotten, and she would be
welcomed by all. Read the address of the Con-
servatives in Charleston, who denounce the
Compromise and the union of the States, who
only advocate postponement Of civil war until
South Carolina can obtain the cooperation of
other States. Has the Union condemned this
meeting? We have hailed it as harbinger of
reaction; the right to entertain and express any
opinions has been admitted; we have looked
only to the ultimate action of the State, and
have never exacted the recantation of opinion
as condition of peace.
We are really concerned that the prospect of
political harmony-perhaps the oblivion of the
unhappy. subjects of controversy--should occa-
sion any disappointment or provoke any censure.
The effort is at all events worthy the prayers
of every patriot; and, if all efforts shall prove
unavailing, we shall commit ourselves to the
future with the honest conviction that we have
done all in our humble power to restore harmo-
ny and to perpetuate the Union
