THE SECESSION MOyEmENT-A
COMPROMISE IN THE EGG.

1t cannot be too thoroughly understood and
realized by our People that the financial crisis
through which we are now passing If purley
Politicians Panc-tbat there is no possible cause
for it outside of the councils of the defeated
FusiOnists of 1860. The country, as whole,
was never before so rich and strong as it is to-
DAY. Its Cattle and Grain are worth Millions
on Millions more than were those of even one
year ago. We have as much Specie as we ever
before had, and twice as much as we had at
any time prior to 1850. True, we owe heavily
abroad but that debt has not been increased
within the year now closing, and is in such
shape that we are not pressed for payment.
Our Exports were hardly ever before so heavy
as during 1860, and we have at least Two
Hundred Millions worth of Grain and Meat
Cotton, Tobacco, &c, just ready to be shipped
to markets where all will be eagerly taken at
good prices. The outward flow of Specie is Just
ceasing, and strong inward current is certain
to set in before New-Years Day. Our Northern
and Western farmers never before had such
full barns and granares such large stacks and
ample herds, as now: they meter were paying
up their stOle-debts more thoroughly. All the
elements of prosperity and industrial activity
are ample beyond precedent: the one thing want
ing is loyal submission by the defeated poll
ticians to the judgment which the People have
rendered against them. Their factiOus and
reasonable plots and schemes are the cause,
and the sole cause of the financial troubles now
existing or impending
DO they really mean TO break up the Union
4 few of them, who have been Disunionists for
not. They simply mean to bully the Free States
into concessions which they can exult over a.
neutraliziDg the election of Lincoln. They do
not care what these concessions are, so that they
can boast that the North was cowed by their
threats of Secession. That point made, all would
be sunshine again in three days.
We believe the President is likely to be driven
to formally recommend the call Of a Convention
10 resettle the Federal Constitution, with view
to strengthen the machinery for slaye-catching in
the Free States and affirm The right 20 eriead
Siacery IF not into all Federal Territories, at least
into oil South Of 3Go So whether present or
We believe the existing Panic will
be deliberately aggravated and extended, to the
extent of forcing part of if not oil the Banks
into suspension, and that men high in Office are
secretly leagued with stOck-gamblers TO highten
the present distress and mutually e4rich them
selves In due time, the toreordaincd compro-
mise will be trotted out and oil worshpers OF
The Golden Calf expected to bow down before it.
This we understand to be the programme: we

IS in the secret, but he is played upon by those
