PRESENT DANGER OF THE BORDER

WASHINGTON, Dec. a6, loGO.
The Secessonists are playing with revolution

than q new style Of Damascus or a fresh
brcech-losder. They forget its awful explosive
forces, its huge volcanic powers acting under
no known laws, and defying every restraint.
On its bosom society and slits interests swell
and tOss like waves upon the SEA. Hidden
rocks and treaoherOus shoals lie beneath, Kissing

in this hour of insanity among the siayeboldng

There are some things that seem to me 70
CLEAN through the darkness OF the fnture WIN
such dstinctneA that no man can faii u per
ceive them. Among them is the TACT that unoer
no circumstances that can Dow be foreseen, can
this accession movement be permitted to extend
west of the Mississippi or north of the Potomac
J de- not say it is even to embrace the territory
limited BY these boundaries. But under any
circumstances, of however forbesring character
the dictates Of prudence, of national safety, oil
necessity, seem to point to this result with great
distinctns. And If this be so, are not the
consequences ntimated among those to be most
seriously apprehended.
These are reflection, which will arise in mems
minds at this juncture, and at this focus Of po-
ltical thought when every imaginable aspect of
the more immediate future il debated with anx-
ious earpestness, and under lights Of fercer
glow than burn in any atmosphere remote from
the political center. The States that cut loose
from the Union are, m the speaker at the
Charleston Convention said Of South Carolina
after secession, "houseless and homeless" Dis
integrsted, weak, distracted, will not their tran
sition state be period Of sufficient length to
bring upon them every danger and every evil
How can they protect themselves from the con-
sequences Of their own rash acts, while in their
