The ENGLISH IN RUSSIA An Englishman
can scarcely form an IDEA Of the petty annoy.
ances 10 which foreigner is subjected on his
arrival at St Petersburg. He is first REQ uired
to give in writing long and crcums tan tial
declaration on variety If subjects. He has
then to undergOa personal examination at the
bureau of the secret police; and woe be to him
II he talter or make single false step, or say
anything that seems Inconsistent with his
written, and perhaps forgotten, declaration

police he will receive a passport at the foreign
Office. This precious passport system, now
happily abolished by the other Northern DOW
ers, IS carried TO absurd lengths in Russia; III :
deed, If you wished TO invent prac tIcal bur-
lesque on the princi pie OF passports,you could
Lot do better than adopt the Russian plan of
Surveillance. You cannot legally enter town,
or sleep at an inn, or even spend night at a
friends house, without a passport. You can

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILRoAD-Tbe
monthly statements of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad shows that the aggregate earnings of
the road during November amounted TO S429-
U93 A, on the main stem and branches-a de-
crease of s., ,e33.52 compared with same
month last year. An analysis OF the earnings
shows unmis stakably that the travel of the
country has greatly fallen off under the feel
ing of uncertainty and depression abroad in
ali the land There is decrease for Noyem-
ber of S23 1000 the passenger receipts, which,
however, ON the main setm is coun ter ha lanced
by an increase of freight earnings. On all he
railroads of the Countrywide great New York
trunk lines of the Central and the Pennsyl-
yania Central included-there is a very rs.
markable red duction of travel Through pas
sengers on the great lines are very few In
number ia comparison 10 what they have
been formerly.

NEW YORK AS A FREE PORT.

New York, says
The declaration of Mr.. Sickles, yesterday.
that If the Union is broken up. New York
Guy Will not consent to be an ..ppeudage of Il
Puritan New England) province buI Will
assert her own independence, means much
more, under the surface OF Things than most
people may imagine. The moment secession
takes place, you may rely upon II, movement
Will take place here which will astonish the
natives. The train is already laid, and the
explosion only awaits the culmination Of
events elsewhere TO bring d bout the explosion.
On the whole, however, the feeling on all
hands to-day is a little more hopeful. Much
is expected of the Committee of Thirty. three.
and much also from the compromise Lieut..
General Scott is said to be anxious 10 offer.

rEAoEARLE sECEssIoN AN ARsURpITY.

In behalf of the treschery and imbecity Of the Ad
mnisraton at Washington the doctrine is intokA
that each State has right peacefully to secede-tbat
notification Of any particular law Of Congress il
to be resisted and punished by the government, but
that secession e. the absolute notification and def
ance of sill such laws and OF the Constitution aud Of the
Union is perfectly right and within the power, at all
times Of each and every State The fathless members
Of the cabinet seek thus to shelter themselves and their
parsans In dsuDion from resistance by the general gov
ernmcnt, while the imbecilss aim in .he same way to
fud excuse from shrinking from their duty of aitr
native al energetic action for which they lack courage
| If not principle.
A more monstrous and absurd doctrine than that OF
the right Of any State at its pleasure to secede from the
Union has never been put forth. The government n
such would indeed be mere rope Of sand. Accord
ing to this dogma Cuba after we shall have paid $780,
600 900 for her purchase, State may AZ secede
and leave the United States Treasury plcs that small
item the account OF profit aud loss" Texas, when
she came into the Union after had paid many millions
to discharge her debts and other millions go into her
cofers was aud entirely at liberty TO seceds with the
booty Each and all the States carved out of the Loui
siana purchase for which also paid such immense
sum, may do the ike.
So too States in which the largest amounts Of the pub
lie property may be situated, NAV at any time secede
with that property When the Pacific railroad shall be
constructed at an expense Of countless millions paid
from The common treasure the two or three States
through which il will run, may decamp with the puudeT
and plant cusomhouse on the site Of storehouses
Vermont, New Hampshire, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Tennessee and the other inland States which will
have contributed to these great disbursemen and il
which States hardly dollar Of the public treasure even
expended are TO look quietly ard appovingly the
odus Of those which have been thus purchased and en-
rched at their expense and TO recognize the right
each OF them to secede and take the property with them
Again. if this right exists exists all tines, until nc
two States remain united. What then would become

would the creditors Of the Government: look for pay

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From the Nes York Freeman Journal Roman Cdthoiie.)
The Oonstitution-by which the General Government
and the government OF South Carolina alike are tied
makes no provision for secession any terms. South
Carolina and each other STATE has way Of secession
except by RKvOLuTIoN-G revolution which the General
Government is under OATH before God and man. 70 put
down James Buchanan may make light of tampering
with bis oath to support the Constitution aud enforce the
laws made under IT, he may prove still further the plant
tool of Southera Dsunioniss but The eoHnTy viii no:
held him guiIess and there has been no public func-
onary in this country whose death by the rope for e
ony II proven would have met 50 little compassion as
his would do perilous crisis has fallen upon u.s.
We must meet il Ike men, shrink from II. see
oaal Piesiden-the candidate solely Of The geographi-
cal Nothought be elected. Southern treason,
With Brecknrdge as its tool has entrapped the North
into this position. The South must them bear the un-
gracious results of the wrong doing of ber own faction
ss As TO resisting Lincoln while he abides by the Con-
sttuon and eniorces the laws Of the Unoh that IS non-
sense.
Every citizen who keeps good conscience owes al
egance TO the United States Government At the North
there will be no two opinions. The division, the contest
the ,car-if war alas must be-wil be at the South
IL had better lot be tgun. The South certainly can
deeply wound the North but it will deeply wound
itself Lincoln within the tuition and the laws will
and must be sustained Lncolu transgressng the laws
or abusing the Constitution will be rebuked checked or
punished the case may demand by the North quick
ly as by the South.

obe-vise at the polls We submit. We have lived during
tho mast four wears under Administration which has
NOT been able TO entirely deprive Of life, though i has
filled us with unutterable disgust. We have survived
nnder four years Administration, the most corrupt
that ever cursed this county, any land under heaven
W fool assured that have survived the reign OF
Ir,ss buchanan we can live through the Administration
Of Abraham Lincoln We are as much opposed to the
sectional doctrines Of the Republican party as any man,
b We have not the least hesitation In saying that as
MN Abraham Lincoln is both more capable and
n6ni,elv more honest than bis predecessor the
now ruling tyrant and corIup. despot, James
buchanan whose whole public career has been
bpt one continued series Of intrigue, corruption
aud fraud dscredtable alike 10 his standing as Poha-
clan and as citizen We repeat that much as we wish
cd for the defeat Of Mr. Lincoln, live under his
Admnistration can the Yancey Breckenridge Demoera-
cvy To them the election Of Mr. Lincoln Is due Ihey
did the work. They perpetrlted the act. IL Is m.-
chief and on their heads lies the responsibility All

men They have elected sectional Ant-SaveTy candi-
data They have ust proved whatjwe have intthis can
yass charged GU hemhat they are the strongest prdc-
tieal Aboonists in the United States Of Mr. Lincoln
We have the bodness to cay what the IanceyBreckites
have not the bolduess to utter that aside from hs no
tops about Slavery we think that Abraham Lincoln viii
make q good President; good, We say, because we De-
lieye him 10 be an honeJ mau. Ills morals hive neIer

one will be further from desiring TO see with pa
tence the violation of the laws and the Constitution
than we If Mr Lincoln attempts this, we say inpedeh
him We have said for two three years that the old
"Pubc Functionary ought be impeached and II the
Lord had in his visalons OF Providence permitted JOh
C. Breckenridge to have become the ruler over US, and
Mr. Breckinridge had attempted to give aid aud comfort
to Yancey and bis coconsprato which thing VIC much
fear Mr. Breckenridge would have done, then We should

We feel that there is need for deberadon and the
ercise Of the greatest ercumpecon. Reason and ndg
men should be invoked TO lend their best coun
sell We should do everything consistent with honor aud
right 10 preserve aud perpetuate the Union We have
believed that the Constitution and Laws, rightly inter-
pre,ed and enforced, would afford ample protection
against all evils likely to arise under the government
In an honest and faithful public administration upon the
basis Of the Federal Constitution as it Is lies the safety
of the South and the North alike aud Of the rights CT
all sections
We did not desire to trust that administration to the
hands Of sectional man, backed and supported aud
elevated to power by sectional M ority We have our
fears that tho influences which prompted bis nOmna-
ton may be used to inaugurate line of policy which
susained and carried out, would resu; in justice and
wrong to portion Of the American people. For our
own part content await the solution Of those
fears by the actual logic o! events" II they prove
welLgtouudei then we shall Tess. that policy with just
enough and Just such force will suffice to vindcae
honor and our rights
