From the ". Y. Herald.
With revolution active in the South it behooyes
every man in the North to consider, and to con-
slider at once what can be, what shall be done, to
save the whole country from the commercial revul-
sion and ruin that may follow this great rupture
of political and material interests. Coercion if it
were possible, is out of the question. Coercion
would bring at once civil war, with all its train of
evils. Not only would CO merce be stopped, and
industry parayzed by such course, but the Sc
ceding States would be forced to the rights of
war against US. 1t would be declared illegal to
pay debts to the Northern people, Just revo-
lutionary fathers declared it criminal to pay debts
to English creditors. The export of cotton and
other productions to ports would be prohibited,
our ships would be driven from their harbors our |
citizens would be denied admission among them, |
and every practice of state of war would be as |
righteously put in play against us as was done by
our revolutionary fathers against the people of
England, when they determined to exercise the
right of selEdefence.
From the " J. Timesl
In our Judgment the less we of the North have to
do with this matter the better. The Union will be
safe in the hands of the South alone. The moment
the issue is made we shall find a powerful Union
Party in every Southern State. 1t will comprise
the great bulk of the property of the South, and
will rally to its support all who have anything at
stake in the welfare of the country or of their own
State The discussion of this subject will no LONGER
be all on one side. The whole subject will be fully
canyassed in all its bearings-and unless the an
ceys and kindred Catalines of the South light the
flames of civil war by act of desperate infamy
the whole South will eventually become perfectly
satisfied that every evil they suffer from the present
Union would be infinitely aggravated by its disco
luton.

to have been most astonshed by the fact that
the American people know how to behave them
selves. He dwells at great length upon the dig
nifty, decorum and good nature with which a half
million of people came together to engage in the
welcome to England's representative. He says:
"There was military procession, but that was
only item in the great feature of the day, which
was the welcome of the people. 1t was such
welcome as only whole people and free people
could give, and in the details of its enthusiasm and
its good order there was much, strange as it may
seem, that made such a reception possible only in
! New York. In Paris it would have been govern.
ment affair of soldiers and gend' armes; in London
it would have been mob, with an immense police
force to control it. Here it simply the people
turning out in hundreds of thousands. huge
sea of decorous but most enthusiastic spectators,
who, even at the spots where they were densest,
were yet so quiet, so impressive in their
majesty Of good order, that at no one place
did they seem TO have single element in common
with what call mob. 1t seemed more gigan-
tic meeting of the citizens of New York, convened
for some great and solemn rejoicing along the whole
length of the city, than the mere chance muster
ings of its busy and excitable population. 1t wa:
such grand display of popular enthusiasm, there
was such dignityn the calm reliance felt by every
one in the preservation of order, such a perfect
warmth and genality of kindness evinced from
highest to lowest toward the young visitor, made
the whole demonstration, perhaps, one of the most
remarkable of its kind that has ever taken place
