The Impending Crisis--The Duty of Every
True Patriot.


The Impending Crisis--The Duty of Every
True Patriot.
The Enquirer calls for a fusion of the
Union men with the National men, in this
State, for the Presidential election. 1t is
very singular that the Union men are not
National, and the National men are not
Union; but the danger of the election of n
Republican President is now imminent, and
there is no longer any excuse for the factions
which regard it as dangerous to the Union,
to remain separate, when they may combine
and hang together, without any sacrifice
principle, which we are informed BY the
Enquirer is the case now, and which we have
supposed to be the case for some time.
The fusion was settled upon before the
State election, but as the terms may still be
open, they may be regarded as debateable.
1t was proposed to give the Bell-Everett
party five men on the Electoral ticket. 1t
seems proper that they should also have one
of the Senatorial Electors. 1t is essential to
the Bell-Everett party that it should pre-
serve its identity. This will be far better
recognition of that than q small minority
place among the District Electors The
Bell-Everett men come into the fusion as a
party, and as a party they are entitled to
equal recognition. 1t is on the same princi-
pie as the equality of our States without re-
gard to numbers. This principle is already
recognized in the proposition to give them
five places on the Electoral ticket; for if
their numbers were taken as the basis, they
would not be entitled to half this number;
probably to not more than one. The Doug
las party can afford to be generous in this
apportionment, for it can not make any ma
terial difference in the end.
The Enquirer omits to invite the Breckin-
ridge party to the fusion, therefore we rem
edy its neglect. The reason is just as urgent
for fusion with that as with the Bell party,
and itequally involves no sacrifice of princi-
pie. The Breckinridge party is entitled to
Ave of the Electors. This would still leave
the Douglas party a majority of one. Num-
bers of voters are discarded from the start,
as basis of fapportionment, and the different
factions are recognized only as parties, on q
basis of equality. But let it be taken into
the account that the Federal Offices are in the
hands of the Breckenridge party. These are
an important element in campaign, and a
fusion had better be careless of the fate of
principles than to omit these.
The Republicans ought to welcome such
combination Of all the elements of opposi-
ton to them, for as they have no party in
the South, they should be unwilling to take
the administration on mere plurality in
the North. 1t would greatly stimulate the
hostility to them. Besides, by the fusion,
they will have all the heads of the opposi-
ton united on one neck-a thing which one
of the Roman Emperors regarded as greatly
promoting the convenience of general exc
cution.

THE Commercial exhibits some sorehead-
edness at the Union men for helping the
Democrats to elect the Sheriff. Why should
it feel so2 Is not Armstrong as good man
as there was up for the office? Has not the
office fallen into excellent and deserving
hands2 Nobody denies that. Then why
should the Commercial grieve? 1t is natural
that the Republicans should regret their
party loss, but the Commercial is an inde-
pendent paper, and, of course, its only anx-
iety can be that the public interests should
be in safe hands, and no body denies that
they will be, in the hands of Armstrong,
The Commercials reproaehes are most un-
accountable. OF course, the triAing fact
that the election of Armstrong takes the
Sheriff's advertising from the Commercial,
can not have any influence on its feelings in
n political contest; for to profess party in
dependence-merely to follow the spoils OF
the party camps-would be the most anus
ing kind of independence. This can not be
the motive of the Commercial, for is it not an
Independent paper? Therefore, it seems so
unaccountable that the Commercial should
regard the election of a competent and very
deserving man to an Office, for which an in
dependent journal can only require these
qualifications, as the turning point of its
destiny. 1t is very queer. If the CONNER
cial now, was party paper, and went in
for the spoils of Office, as mercenary, one
sided, party papers do, we might see into it ;
but being an independent journal, which
utterly scorns such partizan motives, we can
not understand it. 1t is very queer.

Developments nj Washington.
w AsnINGroN, Nov. II

WASHINGTON, Nov. II.
We are privately informed that the
Declaration Of Independence Of South
Carolina was laid before the Prcsilen,
to day. This, however, requires con.
firmation. As far rs can be asccrtained
there is no disposition on the part Of the
Administration, or Of gentlemen Of po-
litical prominence here, to interfere in
the present Southern movement, except
perhaps in a friendly spirit. It is now
probable that the President will soon
issue an address or proclamation, as
the election Of delegates to the South
Carolina Convention is to take place at
an earlier day than was recently antici-
pated, and as in consequence there
would not be sufficient time for the gen
eral circulation of an appeal through
the annual message, MS was originally
contemplated. Such is the general
alarm that Washington will not be CON
tinued the seat of government, that the
valuable real estate has been sensibly
affected by the secession movement.
A portion Of the money seized By
Gen. Degolado a short time ago from
the condncta to Tampico, is on the
way to New York for the purchase of
arms and ammunition through the same
party who, for the last two years, has
been sending similar supplies to the Lib.
eral army.
The President to day informed Thad.
deus Hyatt that the land sales in Kan.
sas could not be postponed, but that
such was the construction Of the law
that actual settlers would be allowed to
refile their pre-emption claims, and
should not be disturbed in their posses.

What Lincoln said 10 the Lou
lS10mo Visitor:

The Lou;s;~nian, Breckenridge pa
per Of New Orleans, gives publicity to
the following conversation between a
New Orleans merchant and Mr.. Lin
coin:
"a highly respectable merchant Of
our city who has Just returned from
the North and West, informs us that
during his visit there he had All inter-
view with old Abe, the rail splitter.
Upon being asked by our informant
what he would do, or what would like
" be his policy in regard to the South,
should he be elected. the rail splitter
replied that similar intcrogatories had
been propounded to him by many per-
s-ons, and also in writing by letter, but
that he had uniformly refused to an
swer them, since he did not deem it
either polite or prudent to declare his
policy in advance. Tie took occasion,
however, apprise our informant that he
would dispel the illusion existing at the
South. that he would have to send men
from the Free States'to' fiji the offices.
bv assuring him that there would be
found plenty Of persons at the South
glad enough to get them, and that he
had already received four hundred beg
ging letters from the Slave States, a
large and considerable portion of which
came from Louisiana.

Parental sym pAthy.

Parents express too little sympathy
for their children; the effect Of this is
lamentable. '.How your children love
you! would give the world to have
my children so devoted to me - said a
mother to one who did not regard the
time given to children as so much cap
ital wasted. Parents err fatally when
they grudge the time necessary for their
children's amusement and instruction !;
FOR no investment brings so sure and 50
rich returns. The child's love is holy !:
and il the parent does not fix that love
himself he deserves to lose it, and in af-
ter-lite to bcwail his poverty Of heart. -
The child's heart is full Of love, and It
must gush out towards somebody or
something the parent is worthy Of
it, lie possesses it, he is blessed; and
the child is safe. When the child loves
worthy persons, and receives their SYM
pathy, he is less liable to be Influenced
by the undeserving for in his soul are
models of excellence, with which he
compares others. Any parent can de-
scend from his chilling dignity, and
freely answer the child's questions, talk
ing familiarly and tenderly with him
and when the little one wishes help, the
parent should come out Of his ahstrac-
tions and carefully help him. Then his
mind will returnto Interpretations elastic
and it will act with force. All parents
can find few minutes occasionally, du-
ring the day, to read little stories to the
children, and to illustrate the respective
tendencies to good and bad feelings.
they can talk to them about flowers,
birds, trees, about angels, and about
God. They can show interest in their
sports, determining the character Of
them. What is surer way than this
Of binding the child to the heart Of the
parent? When you have made friend
