AZ But little good was expected of Mr..
Buchanan's message; therefore. its perusol
will not create any great disappointment
among the people.
The present state of public affairs af
forded him a fine opportunity to rise, SUI
perior to the mere politician, and TO act
the part of patriot and a statesman; that
opportunity he has failed to improve. and
his administration will be recorded on the
page Of history as distinguished for moth
ing, except corruption and impecility. The
times require Jackson.in the chair of
State, and we have simply got Buchanan.
He shows conclusively. by his own rea
soning, and by the authority of illustrious
names, that State has no right to secede;
that secession is another name for revolution
aud yet denies that either, the President
or Congress has any power under the Con-
stitution to prevent such a catastrophe.
In 1888, Congress passed law, commonly
called the "forcc BILL" authorizing the
President to use the whole military power
Of the nation, if necessary, to secure the
enforcement Of the laws in South Carolina.
That was considered good constitutional
law in the days Of Clay and Webster and
Jackson and Benton; they were men who
were supposed to know something of the
powers and duties Of the various depart :
ments Of the Government; they were
statesmen, not mere partisans, and when
resistance 10 the laws was threatened, and
the integrity of the Union was assailed
they rallied around the old Hero, whose
motto was: "The Union; By the Eternal,
it must and shall be preserved" That
sentiment must be fully and unreservedly
endorsed by our citizens, and maintained,
if necessary, with our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor" or else the wisest,
and best system of Government ever in
slituted by mar, will soon be destroyed by
demagogues and traitors, and we shall
leave to our children, not the glorious in
heritance OF freemen, such as was be-
qneathed to US by our ancestors, but the
vile heritage Of slaves.

system Of governmept-they are only fit to
pull it down. The meres, prstender and
most unskillful boteh can pull dowpsthe
most beautiful fabric ever reared by mortal
hands. The mere apprentice in building,
can destroy at one fell blow. the patient
work of a great master. The almost d.
vine creations of Angelo and Raphael
those immortal productions upon which
they spent almost I'll cir whole lives, can DC
oblitarated, cut In fragments in few mo-
ments, by the reckless desperation of
madman. TIL eEphsian Temple, the proud
est work of ancient architectural art was de-
stroyed in few hours, by the vandalism Of
one man. A blow from the arm Of saw
age can knock the Apollo Belvidere into
fragments, and the strength Of an infant
cosld hurl from itsexact equipoise the m ost
nicely balanced specimen.of the mechanical
arts. 1t is easy to destroy. but difficult to
erect. How those Southern ire-eaters
will succeed in building up a govern
ment, remains TO be seen. That they are
expert in pulling one down, seems to be
the fact. 1t requires patient toll, disinter-
ested labor, and cool, clear head TO lay
the foundation, erect the pillows. and turn
the dome of a great governmental fabric
Impulse will not do it; anger will not do 1t;
imbittered feeling will not do it--nothing
but the most enlightened labor. persistent
toll, christian philanthrophy and disinter-
ested benevolence can do it. Are these
qualifications common among the fire eat
ers of the South2 Who is to be the first
man IN this Southern Confederacyf"--
who the architectf--who will hold the
rule and the squaref--who direct the gavel
and the plumetf Shall it be Yancey,
Keith, Toombs or Iversonf Who is to be
the President. Emperor. Monarch, Despotf
These are questions moro difficult to set
lie than perhaps that OF secession. Yet.these
are questions that will have to be settled,
and settled by these seceeding States
alone; if, in their madness, they ever sever
al Constitution.
1t is easy to pull down, but it is difficult
to build up. The woodsman, in an hour.
prostrates on the ground the giant oak
which it has required centuries to pro-
duce-it was easy to fell it, but it would
require the united strength Of giants to
erect it again. 1t may be more diff
cult-aye, thousand fold more diff
cult, for Southern Confederacy to be
formed-fully and completely organized
all the different departments in full harmo-
ny-each wheel revolving without jar
within a wheel; then it is to abjure all al
legiance to this Union and separate forever
from the parental care of this General Gov
eminent.

when they come TO organize-when all the

WASHINGTON. Dacamber IL

HoUsE.-Mr. Cobb, Of Alabama, did not
rise to make SPEECH, but to express an
anxious desire that the Senate should
commence. their business, and present their
deliberations in some tangible form. His
hope was, however, faint as to any useful
result. II anything was To be done TO save
his State II must be done at once. 3.
The election for delegates to the State
Convention takes place on the Doth inst,

and do something, II possible, TO produce
harmony among the peaple. There was a
pure beam Of light from Boston, which may
ultimately have good effect on the public
mind Let the North show q returning
