IGsUNION.

dispatches to sensation papers out of very small
material. AS this capital has no commerce. and
is mainly dependent on Government, every disturb
ing cause is sensibly felt by property-holders whose
whole means are invested here. No attempt at
secession is expected in any State but South
Carolina, though prudence is necessary to pre-
vent sympathy and cooperation from others.
The nullifers are rushing their movement in
order to fOrestall the reaction which they know
to be certain after the experience of 1851, and
| to prevent the moral influence which will be ex-
erted from the South against this rash policy.
They have got the cry, and will denounce as
AkolitOnists all who favor delay or concerted
action Still, much may be done in the next
month, especially when the practical effects of
these proceedings begin to be felt by people
already Overtaxed.
The Banks of South Carolina must suspend
soon under the demands already made upon
them for specie by the return of their notes from
all quarters. On Saturday they were refused in
Baltimore for railroad fare, and the discount
upon them is daily increasing. money pressure
is spreading through the South under the defen-
sive restrictions of the banks aud negroes have
fallen 80 per cent in value since this revolution
airy scheme began.
The President admits the right of South Caro-
lima to secede peaceably, and will not resist it,
if the Convention there should so determine next
month. Resistance, it is supposed, would pro-
duce more cGlamitOus results. But, if she should
attempt to open her ports, they would probably
be blockaded in viDdicatOn of our revenue laws.
And if she should try to set up an Independent
Government and send Minister here, he could
not be received. II is likely other nations would
be notified that any snch recognition on their
part would be considered eGsus betIi. These
are stated as probabilities. but with some
reason.
The designations Of the Federal Oficeholders at
Charleston have not been accepted, and will be
retained by the President for further considera-
ton. Alfred Huger, Postmaster OF Charleston,
has not sent one, and will not, except under CO.
ercion Of public opinion, which is now disin-
clined to that extremity. Only one Postmaster
in the State has signifed his purpose to resign
at q future day, unless the State should with
draw sooner The Post-Office service is the
most sensitive branch, and its pulse furnishes
good indication of the popular feeling.
TIE CONSTITUTIONS SECESSION ARTICLE.
The President personally directed the contra
diction of the article in The Constitution, after
the election, favoring secession, and distinctly
notified his Cabinet, from one of whom 1t was
believed to have emanated that it must not be
repeated Five out of seven avOwedly against
this whole scheme, and Messrs. Cobb and Thomp-
e fh.yi aar and
deplOre, without pretending to advocate it.
THE RESIGNATION OF MR.. TOOMBs.
Dir. Toombs's resignation from the Senate was
rendered necessary by his pledges during the
canvass In holding on till the 4th of March, how
ever. he takes the chances for o reelection, which
everybody believes he desires Georgia has no
confidence in his counsel nor faith in his stability
He is irving to recover from his recent afiliation
with Mr.. Douglas. Last Winter he declared
here that he wanted no better epitaph than
Here lies the man who destroyed the Repub-

| THE CLFRKsHIP RESERVATIONS.
| The few departmental clerks who have re-
signed to take effect on the 4th of March, with
view of making newspaper flourish, were
only temporarily employed and appropriations
| for their service will be exhausted before that
time. All the South Carolina and Georgia incum-
bents are still supporting the Constitution with
good salaries.
