THE New YoRK Posr OFFICE DEFALcATIoN.-
George Law and Gustavus A. COnover yesterday
the Unisd States from eyvag upon their proper
ty to satisfy the 900 suretes which they entered
into for Isaac V. Fowler. They have, however,
gone through the formality OF giving 100000
bonds to abide the result Of the trial of the allega
tion that the Government was aware that Fowler
was deiaulter before they became his bondsmen.
There is little doubt of this fact, is there any
reason to expect that any part of the sum flched
from the Post Office funds by Fowler will ever be
replaced either by the principal or his securities
Aware of the soundness of their objection, i'm
PEELED by other reasons it is doubtful if the United
States authorities will ever try the issue raised,
and Messrs Law and Conover are therefore as Sc
cure of their dollars as ever they were.-M Y.

RRWARE /.

We warn the people Of the Free States, that
cockatrice's egg is being Matched at Washing
ton, in the form Of proposition to amend the
Constitution by tracing the line of 360 30 across
the continent, and booming TO eternal Slavery all
tie territory we now possess or may hereafter
acquire south Of that parallel We are aware
that this " measure of peace" which, during the
fifteen months that would expire ere it could be
acted upon by the State Legislatures would fill
every corner Of the land with unprecedented agta-
ton, can never be incorporated into the COnsti
tuition. We know that excepting in and imme-
dately around the great commercial centers,
every member of Congress from the North who,
by giving his vote for such measure in this
crisis, betrays the cause of Free Labor and Free
Government, will be buried under an avalanche
of popular reprObatiOn, and will know no resur-
rectOn. Therefore we have no fears of the ulti-
mate fate of this proposed recrcaucy to Truth,
Justice, and the permanent peace OF the cOun-
try. But, we appeal TO the Republicans IN
Congress, and ask, Why encourage treason in
80 the South and cowardce in the North by
inspiring hopes which you know can never
abe realized" If they are deaf to reason,
then we turn to those great constituencies which
have just deposited ia the ballOt-boxes nearly
two millions Of Republican votes, and ask them
If they are willing to allow their representatives
10 even seem to throw away the fruits of their
dearly won victory; to break down the Admins
tTation Of Lincoln ere he attains power; to
prove themselves TO have been hypocrites while
out of place, and cravens, who are ready to sur
render their principles the moment they are able
to abandon them to their enemies Or if we
are too confident of the final result, and there
really be danger of such an amendment being
Incorporated into the Constitution, if presented
to Congress, then we ask Republicans il there is
any exerton which they will not put forth to
prevent the initial step in this downward road
any effort they viii not put forth TO hold eur
country back from entering upon piratcal and
buccaneering schemes for reopening the slave
trade and extending Slavery over the Southern
half of the Continent preciptating US into wars
with foreign nations, and provoking the indigna-
tion of Christendom
We warn our readers that this sO-called
4" Compromise" may be sprung upon Congress
Immediately after the holidays, if not previously
broken up by the outspoken condemnation of the
people. Let Republican constituencies take
prompt measures, through the mails tine public
press, and personal appeals, to bring proper in
fueDces to bear upon their Senators and Repre-
sentatives at Washington, ere it be too late.
Let them crush this offspring Of Southern trea-
son and Northern dOughfaceism in its incipiency.
There is not a moment.tO be lost!

THE ALLEGED EIGHT OF Succession.

The doctrine 20 earnestly insisted upon by tho
Secessionists, that each State has o right under
the Constitution of the United States, to sepa-
rate upon its own mere motion from the Union,
and that no power of coercion az against State
is vested in the General GoverDment-this doc
trne and the emphasis placed upon it by the Sc
ceesOnists abundantly show that with all their
clustering, they lack the courage to acknowledge,
even to themselves, the true character Of the en-.
terprise in which they are engaged. In the very
act of aiming deadly blow at the Federal Con-
stituton, in the very act of repudistng it, and
setting it at defiance, they seek to shield them
selves from public Odium and their own guilty
fears By the cover Of that very Constitution it
self
The Federal Constitution does not recognize
the possibility that any acts of resistance to the
lawful authority Of the General Government can
emanate from State. Such acts are regarded
by the Federal Constitution as the acts Of indi-
viduals. or Of a collection Of individuals COM
bined together to resist the laws. TIE plea Of
such individuals that they acting under au-
ihorty of a State ayails them nothing, because
the State, by the express provisions Of the Fed
eral Constitution, has no power to confer ony
such authority. Any pretended act passed BY
State Legislature looking 10 dlsObedlence OF
the Federal laws il absolutely null and void.
1t is not the act of a State Legislature,
but of number Of usurping individuals,
who. in tronscendipg the authority which
they can lawfully exercise, have Invested
themselves of their legislative character.
The employment Of an armed force, should
such procedure be thought expedient to put
down such combination for resisting the laws
is an authority expressly conferred upon the
President VIII anybody pretend that when
Washington marched fifteen thousand men into
Western Pennsylvania to enforce the collection
of the tax on whisky dstilleries he transcribed
the powers conferred upon him by the Constitu-
ton and the laws enacted under it Should
the people of South Carolina, or any considerable
portion of them, undertake in like manner to
resist the collection of the revenue or in imta-
ton Of the whisky rebels, to stop the United
States mails, would it not be equally the right
and the duty of the President OF the United
States to do what Washington did, to employ a
sufficient military and naval force to put stop
TO this resistance to the laws
it is in vain for the SecessiOnsts to attempt 10
SHIFT off the responsibilities of their position.
Treason is an ugly and uncomfortable word, but
those who undertake treason must learn not to
be afraid of the name. The very fact that the
Secessionists shrink from the name of traitors
affords strong ground for believing that the
greater part of them, when the thing comes to
the test, viii shrink from the act.

Tn the Charleston Convention two day. ago,
Chancellor Dunkin set the members little sum
in arithmetic, which must have been instructive
Ia those members who took the trouble to cipher
IL out. Mr.. Dunkn suggested that there should
be no sudden disruption " Of oil the ties that
bound them 10 the Union, and as reason for that
advice stated the fact "on the best authority
that the Post Offices Of South Carolina cost the
Government s24O,G00, aud the receipts have
been less than $50, 600 for the last quarter"
Now. four times $40, 600 is 1860 900; and four
times $4,000 il $500, 600. SubtractDg the
one sum from the Othcr-we have no doubt
many Of the members did the sum in
their heads on the spot-and We have a
remainder of $500, 900 for the postal expenses
Of South Carolina for one year over and above
the receipts, Now, $3.50, 900 il nice little sum

Slavery may not be extended into territory we
possess already Aud lift be urged that we have now
no territory into which it is ever likely to extend,
then still more do we demand it, least that very
fact should prompt to continual expeditions of
Pro-Slayery land-pirates, determined on the ac-
QUESTION of new regions where the system may

Is it possible, then for us to yield one inch on
this question: Never We believe in the great
doctrine of the Federal Constitution; we believe

on the authority Of Mr.. Secretary Cobb, that,
"tbc revenue Of South Carolina from the Gus
"tom-House didn't near pay the expenses Of
customs" the Chanceor's advice was judi
ciOus that there should be "no sudden disrup-
A." tion." 1t might be very nice thing to go
out of the Union; but it would also be very
nice thing to permit the Federal Government to
pay the expenses Of the State. Possibly some OF
the other Secession States will wait to see how
this difficulty is arranged for South Carolina, be-
fore following her example.

DIPLOMACE.

Some Washington letter writers seem 10 at.
tribute q certain weight to the opinion of the
Foreign Ministers I'D that city, and to the reports
made by them to their respective Governments
concerning the secession crisis. For cur part
We are perfectly indifferent "a to what these Dip
lomatc lucubrations may contain; but if there arc
people in Washington who give credit to the no.
tons considerations, and apprehensons woefully
uttered by individual Minister'S, or even by tho
whole corps, We will undertake to reassure them
by few facts of history.
Diplomacy, from IFS character, nature, and tend
encies, most generally sides with all that is sta.
tiOnary, retrograde, despotic, and oppressive.
though English diplomacy occasionally form, an
exception to this rule. No progress, no enamel.
patton, no victory of civil or political liberty no
conquest of national independence, was ever vel
lcomed by diplomacy. If diplomacy had the
matter in its hands, Lombardy Naples, Italy,
would still gr0an under the most infamous rule.
Diplomacy tried to save Francis H., AS it has
always tried 10 save all Opprobrious rulers and
systems Of government
Diplomacy and craftsmanship are two alto
gether opposite poles; and the exceptions to this
axiom are rare and few. Thus, Sir Robert Peel,
one of the greatest statesnen of our century,
was not diplomatist. Diplomacy and diplomats
had no hand in carrying out the abolition of
serldom in Germany and Prussia; they never
urged the creation of homeSteads for the German
and Prussan peasantry; and, certainly the pend
ing emancipation of the serts in Russia is nss
the work OF Russian diplomats, but is carrisd
Out contrary to their advice and forebodings.
Such are some among the numerous lacts that
justify our total Indifference TO the opinion of the
diplomats concerning our domestic affairs, We
know that, England excepted, for most OF
them, American liberty is an oaense, al
though their respective nations view eur

increase the Police Force of this city by an sd-
ditional AGO men, 300 to be appointed in JAN
uary and 100 in each Of the two following months

the men are very much needed. Brooklyn also

preserve the peace and protect the property of
the city. If the wishes of her citizens are con-

tend to this matter without delay.
