BLACKwooD's MAGAZINE AND THE BRrT-
IsH REvIEws.-We invite especial atten-
ton TO the announcement lin our extra
of these popular reprints for the coming year.
No one who desires to keep pace with the
current of thought in the most cultivated cir
Giles, on topics connected with literature, sci
ence, history past and present., the fine arts,
&c, can afford to deny himself these publ
cations, especially on this side the Atlantic,
where the whole five are supplied by Messrs.
Leonard Scott Il Co., at the extremely low
price of $40 per annum. In England they
cost S3l per annum. The reader will notice
also the premiums offered to new subscribers,
and the very cheap rates at which they offer
the back numbers. The beginning Of the year
is a favorable time TO subscribe for these pub
locations. For terms see advertisement.

The PREsrDENr's FAsr.-We publish, in
another column, the proclamation Of the
President appointing Friday, January 9TH as
a day Of general fasting, humiliation and
prayer. In response to this accommodation,
Gov. Fairbanks has issued proclamation
calling upon the people Of Vermont to OBJ
serve the day in the manner advised by the
President, which we also publish. We look
upon the whole proceeding as a mere hypo-
critical farce. A few, md perhaps most Of
the Northern States will comply with the
Presidents recommendation, and prove their
devotion to the Union by imploring Divine
aid upon the rulers and people Of our COM
mon country; but south Of Mason and Dix
on's line, whore disloyalty and rebellion are
rampant, the proceeding will be received with
more Of derision than seriousness. If the
day, wherever it is observed, does not prove
more fruitful in a rehearsal Of mutual Rriey-
ances than Of sincere and earnest prayer for
the salvation of our country, we shall be
greatly mistaken.

Resolutions and speeches in Congress con
sttute the outside view of the secession ques-
ton and think it cannot have escaped the
attentive observer that for the most part the
outside view is political. In fact one great
point IN Southern and Democratic policy is, to
demoralize and divide the Republican party
and embarrass the incoming Administration
That, and that alone, is the purpose of some
who are apparently sympathizing with the Sc
cessionists. But there is an inside rie,o. which

The tone Of Senator Wade's speech vibrat-
ed sharply on the secessionists Of the South
and concessionists Of the North-vibratod as
a shuddor. Coercion-oivil war the laws
must be executed, said Wade-force blood
shed That is the way it strikes many peo-
pie. Doubtless there may be some sad truth
in that gloomy picture. Suppose South Car
oina to socede, and attack the forts in
Charleston harbor then there will be force
against the United States Shall it be rcpel-
led by force Shall the Federal Government
defend the lives of its officers and soldiers
and protect its property, or shall it surrender
70 South Carolinas That is the question.
do not like force, but confess that mis-
like wrongful force, reasonable and rebellous
foace, considerably less than self-delcnce or
patriotic force But doubt whether mat
ters will come to that pass Immediately
South Carolina will negotiate first, if she
can There is a different sort of coercion,
however, not quite so repulsive. OF course
when South Carolina secedcs it may be fairly
presumed that the Federal Government cam
MT execute its laws within that State in the
ordinary way, for want Of courts, morshals,
juries. &c. II there are no Federal officers
to be resisted, no case will arise of an ordin-
airy character: it will be the extraordinary
case provided for by the act ef 1895, and that
act expressly confdes the use Of the militia,
army and navy to the discretion or judgment Of
the President. Perhaps softer means will be
first used-coercion, indeed, but of milder
type. If South Carolina interferes with the
post offices, Uncle Sam will stop the mails I'm
South Carolina If South Carolina refuses
TO pay duties, Uncle Sam will either repeal
the acts establishing ports Of entry within
her bounds, thus cutting off imports and ex-
ports or collect the revenue at the entrance
of her harbors. Pretty effective coercion
that, and yet not necessarily bloody. If after
that South Carolina undertakes TO use force
or make war, we shall arrive at the old qucs-
Tonight or surrender. By that time the
will of the whole country will be pretty
thoroughly understood by both tho Foderal
and State governments, and, guess
