MIR. CLuNGmAN,s PROPOSITION.


The Hon. Thomas L. Clngman is u. S.
Senator from North Carolna-which State be
represents as on the point Of seeding from the
Union; notwithstanding which, Mr.. G. is eau
didate for reelection to the u. s. Senate for si1
years from the 9Th of March next, and is evi.
IDENTITY quite anxious to be elected. His success,
we understand, is exceedingly doubtful; where
upon Mr. c, makes speech in the Senate
squirting very strongly at Secossion-that is to
say, he is sure "my people" will secede along
with those of most Slave States, unless tho North
eats some very humble pie on account of Mr..
Lincoln's election.
We propose here to consider briefly Mr..
Clingnan's basis for o peaceful dissolution OF the
Union--this, namely, that the Public Property
h0uld be divided and the Public Debt appor-
toned fairly between the seeding States and
those that decline to follow them but prefer to
remain in the present Union. Let us look at
this scheme in the light of History and Reason.
Florida is one of the States expected to &C.
cede. The United States paid Spain Five Mil
lions of Dollars for the territory now included
within her borders. This territory she will of
course take with her if she goes out, and Uncle
Sam may whistle for bis $4,000, 600; but wouldn't
it be rather severe if he were called upon to set
off to Florida, in addition, large slice Of terri
tory in the Far West!
Te1as was acquired under Joint Resolve of
the two Houses of Congress in lS43. We have
since had 10 fight Mexico in her behalf at a
heavy cost, and have paid her SlC,0OO,oOO
outright for a quitclaim Of her pretensici's to
all, the territory in her possession when NO es-
spOused her quarrel, and proposes to keep every
acre of IT, Then she would like to have us set
her off liberal share of the National Domain
outside of her geographical limits. Don't she
wish she may get it
Louisiana and Arkansas we're included in Mr.
JeffersOn's great Louisiana Purchase of France,
for which Sl5, 900, 900 in hard cash was paid
from the Federal Treasury. Each of these States
has much unsettled land. If they secede, they
will expect to keep this, and to render us not
even thanky Sir for our $4,000, 900; but Mr.
CliDgmon would like TO have o large tract of
outside Federal territory made over 10 them.
Perhaps they will get it, but not this year.
On the whole we see no reason for paying
a premium on reputation and disunion. The
Slave States are morally bound to stay in the.
Union throughout Mr.. Lincoln's term and to
deport themselves Loyalty and peaceably. If they,
or most OF them, choose instead 10 secede, and
their people seem earnest and decided in so
doing we would let them 60, but not pay them
Cor going. If the Union is to be causelessly,
wantOnly broken up, We propose to acquiesce,
but not to become accessory either before after
the fact

monopoly TO the Union. Under it, the prioo Of
negroes has trebled. Hence they will exhaust
every effort to maintain the existing state Of
things.
The position of these Border States in case OF
a secession will be, in any event, difficult one
If they 90 with the South they may possibly
hope to maintain their present monopoly in sup
plying tho American slave-market, but must
anticipate general stampede of their two-lsgged
ard reasoning cattle into the FREQ States. If
they stay with the North, they will lose their
monopoly, and will see tho price OF slaves re-
duced to the Dahomey standard, with the cost
Of transportation added. In either event, they
will soon find themselves compelled to sell their
slaves, in advance Of ON inevitable reduction IN
their value and will eventually be compelled to
pass acts of emancipation, and follow tho glorious
fortunes Of the Free States.

SUCCESSION or NEw.yORK CITY.

1t is noteworthy that the Union-sayer by trade
becomes readily aud naturally rampant aud
wholesale Disunionst. The n. Y. Express has
lived on its love for the Union for number Of
years. and now stands on the tack of DisuniOn
wholesale aud retail. II is for breaking mp the
States into fragments if the North refuses to
knucke to the demands of the Fire-Eaters 1t
says;
The Republican journals exhibit generally very bad
spirit and very very slow the great lesson coming that In
North will be the civil well in the South when
the Union struck down. hsg York CITY cW s@aHepats

and Gemsny they who rests! w. will resist 1t with the
swoid"
1t may be very good fun for our City to
{" do business free;" but with whom will she
do it, There WILL of course, be a custOm-hOuse
lust across Harlem River, and another in Jersey
City; and the duties would be paid outside of
our City instead of being paid within it. 1t
would be easy to compute our City's profit on
that operation. But the City will not separate
from the State, even if the Cotton States should
secede from the Union; and The Express may
put up its "sword. " There will be no work
for il hereabOuts.

OPENING THR BALL.

Senators Iyerson of Georgia, Brown of Mis-
sissippi, and Wigiall Of Texas, yesterday gave
the country ali exhibition of the spirit in
which Secession is pushed forward. The
remarks Of each clearly imply that the main
question is decided-that the extreme South
viii secede any hOw-and that no genu-
fections, no prOstrations on the part of the
North can possibly avail. Repeating Personal
Liberty acts, even reviying and extending the
Missouri Compromise line, would now come too
late--tbe South has resolved to 90 OUT, and she
will in no case be sweved from her purpose.
The only choice lies between letting her 60
peaccably and compelling her to how her way to
independence with her good sword. Such is the
substance, the drift Of the remarks Of the two
eminent Fire Eaters, whose words will OF
course be duly weighed by the People

an appropriation of 81 500 for extra cOmpensa-
ton to the Clerks of the Aldermen, in return
for like favor in behalf of their own clerks.
They also ratified the ordinance creating twenty
two Assistant Health Wardens, at SO day.

heretofore exposed; but for the matter of useful
ness the entire City Inspectors Department, Of
which this new batch of officials is an adjunct,
might be dispensed with. 1t has already run
through about 100000 for street cleaning this

The House of Representatives showed the
right temper yesterday. No time was wasted in
useless talk, but the real business of the country
was begun in earnest. Mr.. GrO,o'S HOMESTEAD
bill scas passed, and will go to the Senate, whence
we trust it will promptly be laid before the Old
Public FuDctiOnary for him to veto it, if he
dares. The bills for the payment Of PEN
sions and the support of West Point Academy
were also passed. Now, let the House take up
and pass Mr. Morrill's Tariff bill, and it will do
more for the real pacifcation of the Republic
than can be done by million new Fugitive
Slave laws.

The President in his Message says that the
real reason why South Carolina wants to secede
ia that she is afraid of her negroes. They are
on the point of Instruction, and everybody is
alarmed Buchanan thus describes this state of
universal terror:
1.-THE incessant violent sgalon Of the Slavery question
Throughout the North for the last quarter Of century has at
length produced its uagn influence the slaves and In
ped with vague notions Of freedom Hence Of
security longer exists around the family altar This feeling
peace home has given place to apprehensons Of see
instruction Many throughout the south reIes
nght dread Of what may bes hersef and her children be-
fore The morning Should this apprehension domestic danger
whether imaginary extend and intensity Itself until it
persde the Of the Southern people, then disunion
win become inevitable"
We will not deny that such q sense of in
security prevails in South Carolina, and possibly
also in other Cotton States. But it cannot be
attributed to the agitation Of the Slavery question
know nothing. They cannot read, nor do Anti
Slavery books and newspapers ever reach them,
All that they learn about the Slavery agitation
they learn from their own masters and from the
speeches at political meetings, where they are
allowed to be present From this source they
have no doubt gathered the opinion that all Re.
publicans are AbolitiOnists, and that Mr. Lincolns
election will certainly result in the immediate
emancipation Of every slave. In the same
manner they were informed in 1856 that
if Col. Fremont became President he
would at once set them all free. After that elec-
ton, there were disturbances among the slaves
in several places, but they were exclusively the
result Of the exaggeration and imPrudence which
had characterized the discussions of the political
meetings beforehand If the politicians of the
Slave States had all kept common sense and
truth ON their side during the recent Presiden-
tial campaign very different state of feeling
would now exist around them. They alone are
guilty in the premises, aud no amount of impu-
deut assertion can fix tho responsibility on the
North.
