WHAT SECESSION MEANS.

The Heratd'S special Virginia correspondent

There is more truth in the above than usu-

for the circulation of Helpers book. The Fire

the Slaye-Trade and they will listen to you but to
talk of repeating Personal Liberty acts, &c. only
does mischief, by impeling conservative Soutbrons
to unite in their demands, in the hope of averting
Secession. Better say nothing

THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR

Tho Hon Fernando Wood, in a Proclamation
seconding the motion of Gov Morgan that we
celebrate Thursday of this week as day OF
Annual Thanksgiving, volunteers the very gra-
tutous and rather impertinent remark that
Sin MY Judgment the country either in its political oomme
c or financial aspect presents Gestures for which we should
be thankful"
We are sure that neither the eminent ga
gacity nor the fragrant picty OF our incompara-
Bile Mayor is fairly exhibited in this passage.
Let us endeayor gently to remind him OF few
things for which the people Of our City should
be. and we are sure many OF them are, pro-
foundly grateful. They are
l. The election of new President and Vice
President on the platform of the Declaration of
Independence, in defiance Of the desperate, fran
tic exertions of all who would place Money and
Merchandise first Man and his Rights long
way afterward.
2. The taking the rule of our State and Ma
ton out of the hands of their grogshOps, gam
bling-houses, and other haunts OF lewdness and
vice, and placing it under the control of those
who gain their livelihood by means accordant
with Virtue and the Common Veal.
3. The great progress which the cause OF Lib
erty and Human Rights has made during the
year now closing, alike in the Old and the New
World.
a. The moral certainty that the Hon. Isaiah
Rynders will retire to the shades of private life
early in March next, and that the African Slave
Trade will thereupon be very seriously crippled,
and kidnapping in our own City lose some strlk-
ing facilities.
s. The strong probability that the Hon. Fer
nando Wood will rule over us as Mayor just one
,ear longer, and that nothing can ever secure
him another reelection.
If His Excellency had only stopped mo-
ment to consider, he surely must have realized
that never had people greater political reasons
for Thanksgiving than have ours just at this
time. SO let us eat our roast turkey with
grateful hearts, fervently praying God that future
years may be az suspicious TO Liberty and
Good Government as 1860 has been.

MITCHELIsM.

We rather like impudence when it ia of a high
Order-the impudence, for instance, of an irish
patriot like John Mitchell, who in Dublin would
pour Vitrio upon the heads of the enemies
of Liberty, and in Mobile can conceive of no
higher state Of earthly bliss and prosperity than
the ownership Of q hundred men and women,
eolored and parti-colored. who shall work for
him for nothing all their days, except a peck of
corn per week and ten dollars worth of clothing
annually. We suppose that when the FIRST
Mitchell was made, there was put into him nine
parts of impudence to one part of everything
else; and the proportion has held good in all his
descendants, whether the name be spelled with
an c or an /, ever since.
Every steamer that has returned from Sayan.
nah or Charleston for week or two past has
brought back a number of Storage passengers,
who were either positively and peremptorily sent

bonds demanded of the ship and captain for their
support. The Nashville, from Charleston on Satur-
day, brought forty steerage passengers. whom the
Mayor of that place would not permit TO land;

week, brought back thirty two steerage passen.

Of republican government on democratic prin-

our past history or present position to induce
serious misgvings "a to the result.
II has often been urged that with the increase
of wealth and population our existing popular
system of government would become Impractical

laborers, destitute of property, to whom tne
right of suffrage could not be safel! entrusted
Our experience thus far does not give any coun-
tepance TO this view. Take the State OF Massa

in population and wealth, her institutions ana

danger to her existing political institutions even
if that increase should continue indefinitely

1t is but about thirty years since our Presidents
Annual Message vas taken across the ocean in
sailing vessel and published in London eight days
before it had reached and been issued in st.
Louis, which city is very near the geographical
center of our present republic. And now the
result of our Presidential Election, which took
place on the 9th inst, was transmitted, mainly BY
Pony Express, to San Francisco on the 1fth and
published there BY o'clock the morning Of
that day. The news Of its arrival there, returned
in like manner was received here 30 az to b.
printed in our columns of the 18th inst, though
of course no special speed was attempted in the
return. The people of the entire Pacific coast
had doubtless heard of Lincoln's election before
it was known in Europe; and it may yet be
several days before We shall hear of the reception
of the tidings even in England.
II We are not yet able to announce positively
the result Of the Presidential contest in Cali.

of each of those States, a. between Lincoln and
Douglas in California and Lincoln and Breckn-
rige in Oregon, is exceedingly close. Lincoln is

III. Any arrangement by which localities
might be held responsible for fugitive slaves in the
cases specified by The Journal, must be made

offending States to reimburse the outlay; the
States could collect it Of counties or other To-

I'LL The restoration of the Missouri line seems
to us exceedingly Objectionable on several grounds:
/. The North never agreed to run any such line.
Seyen-eighths of the Northern People, with their
representatives in Congress, resisted any such
partition. and were barely overborne by sub
stantialy unanimous South, backed BY hand
full from the North Should the North now pro
pose or cordially accept re6stablishment of that
line, it would be evident that the sentiment OF
repugnance to Slavery Extension had lost ground
among us during the last forty years. We trust
that the fact is otherwise, and we would not
have the fact contradicted by the record. Win
Northern President, on the morrow OF great
Free.State victory, we cannot consent to take
lower ground than was taken by the Free States
under Virgins President, with Calhoun and
Crawford in the Cabinent and Clay Speaker OF
the House. 2. We hold that the reputation by
the South of the Missouri Compact was, under
the circumstances, an act Of bad falth ana
wrong, and that TO simply restore 1t would
not be that terror to evildoers' that the equity
of the case demands. 3. The South and her
Northern allies ten years ago offered, ana Voted
not less than thrice, to extend the Missouri line
to the Pacific. Polk was then President; the
Slave Power in the ascendant; Buchanan ana
Douglas both urging acquiescence; yet the Free
States stood out. They would abide by the
compromise of 1920, but they would not extend
it from the Rio Grande to the Pacific. We can
not see why they should take lower ground now
4. We cannot ignore the fact that restoration
of the Missouri line now would practically sur
render Mexico and Central America to Slavery
and would enormously stimulate the spirit OF
FiEbusterism. 1t would say to all the uneasy
spirits of the South, Seize Mexico, piece-mesl,
az you did in the seizure of Texas and We
guarantee you the unresisted establishment of
Slavery therein" We could not assent to
this
For the reasons thus briefly indicated, We
trust that the programme hastily outlined BY
The Journal will not be accepted by the North
