THE LESSON. CONCLUSION


- think it was Senator Pugh who once
said that if Douglas was struck down by the
South, he would take his bleeding corpse
and show it to the youth of the Northwest
as an example of Southern gratitude. Let
that modern Mark Anthony come in with
his dead Caesar (pardon me, it is neither
Caesar dead nor Mark Anthony lying,) let
him bring in his bleeding corpse, and l
would suggest the funeral Oration. Let HIM
say to the youth Of the American Republic !;
'' This is Douglas. Look at him. For every
wound the South inflicted upon him, ne
" has struck blow at the liberties OF his
= countrymen. Let him serve as warning
g example that every man may be traitor
g to liberty, and yet not become a fayorite
:. to the slave power. Mark him. By false
. Popular Sovereignty he tried to elevate
himself a true Popular Sovereignty
strikes him down" Loud applause,l /
If the youth OF America profit by this les
son, then it may be said that even Douglas
| has done some service to his country. Laugh
ter. Then peace be with him-his mission
| is fulfilled

The CfrY FISANcEs.-The national nnancc6
seem to be in deplorable condition atthe pre-

Trust Fund bonds, the repudiation OF the Trea-
sury loan bids, and the enormous rates which
the government are compelled to pay for
money; and our own city finances appear
10 be no. in the best condition either; but the
great difficulty Is to get some one to keep
them safe. new City Chamberlain has just
been appointed, confirmed, and has given
bonds for the faithful performance OF his du-
ties. To the gentleman appointed, Mr.. Devlin,
there can be no possible objection He Is q
successful merchant a wealthy man, and Is
not politician. But the system Of keeping
and managing the finances Is highly objection
able.
For instance, the amount Of money handed
over TO the City Chamberlain is over four mil
lions Of dollars, and during the year some
eight or ten millions pass through the hands
of this officer. This money IL lodged in one
of the city banks-in the present case
in the Broadway Bank; and the only
security given for It's safskceping Is bond Of
two hundred thousand dollars, In which four
gentlemen are joined, each Of whom swesrs
that he Il worth over hundred thousand and
no doubt he Is But We would suggest that this
Is not an equivalent sum for the large amount

,ainly beyond the reach Of danger while IL Is

should be adopted. Why not retain these
moneys IN specie in kind Of city sub.treasrry,

no interest on its deposits; so that there l.
nothing gained by lodging Il In bank; whereas

and the United State and until the United
States shall have recognize the independent
nationality of South Carolina, she VIII not be
out of the Union. The federal government
may suspend the exercise of its authori. " ana
functions, touching the revenue, the UniteH
States mails and judicial department in South
Carolina, and still she will not be cut
off from the Union. She can only
be cut of by the recognition of her
independence by the United States Very
true, the constitution has made no provision
for the coercion of seeding State; but it is
equally true that It makes no provision for
the recognition Of seeding State as an in-
dependent nation. What, then, is to be done?
Are we to have civil war; We hope not. We
trust rather that South Carolina may be, de
dcto, restored to the Union, rs she still remains
de jare, in the Union; and yet we fear that all
may be lost unless the President elect shall at
once interpose in behalf of peace
Peace is now the first necessity, and Con-
gress may keep the peace by recognizing tenn
porarily the seeding State or States in that
attitude of semi-nationality which Congress
has the constitutional authority to confer.
Thus secession may be left to fair trial with
out provoking warlike collision, and when
the secessionists are tired of their experiment
they will come back into the family circle Of
the Union Of their own accord.

CONfERENCk OF THE BORDER STATES.-There
is IN irregular line of demarcation between the
North and the South, running across the centre
Of the Union from the Atlantic seaboard to
Kansas. The States divided from each other by
this line are called the border States--those on
the south side being the border slave States, and
those on the north side the border free States.
The former are Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky and Missouri; the latter class COM
prises New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa. The inhabitants of both
these classes of States, living contiguous to
each other, constitute, with the city of New
York and its immediate surroundings, the great
central conservative body of the American
people. We are not speaking of the first two
or three lines Of counties from the Canadian
frontier OF these border free States They are
so far removed from the dividing line between
free white and black slave labor, and SO tho
roughly impregnated with New England aboli-
ton ideas, that they can be only properly
classed with the New England political section
of the Union. We are speaking of the people
of these border free and slave States whose
intimate social and business relations lave
brought them into happy political accord
with each other.
Selling upon this idea Of harmony between
the border free and slave States, our Congress
sional peacemakers at Washington, represent
ing said States, had joint conference the
other evening on the crisis, and from the
proceedings of this first meeting the move
ment looks encouraging in behalf of the Union.
But in this connection we have suggestion to
make which, If adopted, will most probably
be worth more TO the ends of peace and har-
mony than anything else that could be devised.
Abraham Lincoln, the President elect Of the
United States, Is q citizen of Illinois, one of
these aforesaid border free States. Our sug-
gestion is, then, that, without standing upon
punc,ilio, he be invited to participate by letter
in the proceedings of these Congressional
border ctate conferences. Let a oommittoe In
behalf of the said border State Congressional
Union movement address letter to Mr.. Lin
coin, respectfully soliciting from him any pro-
positions of compromise which he may think
calculated to save the Union, and who knows
but that something good may come out Of
Nazareth A letter, for example, from Mr..
Vice President Breckenridge, of Kentucky
1.-THE native State Of Mr.. Lincoln), could hardly
fail to command full and respectful answer
from the President elect. Or, cannot the
Illinois delegation bring him to the rescues
Suppose they try.

ton Of the constitution in the territory.
Under these circumstances they would be viii
ling 10 surrender a portion of their rights In
order to secure the rest. But the republicans
say that the Missouri Compromise line was
agreed upon before, and was repealed by Con-
gress, and may be repealed again. This objec-
ton, however, is answered by making the com
promise a part Of the constitution. 80 that it
cannot be repealed. All who desire the per
petuation of the Union and to save the country
from civil war ought to promote this compro-
mise measure; and Notwithstanding that COM
mittees of Congress have not adopted it, last
effort ought to be made in Congress itself to
carry it; and If it finally fails there, an appeal
ought TO be made to the people in their sove-
reign capacity. 1t is not all that is needed, but
il would 60 great length to arrest the pro-
gress Of revolution and, with one or two other
healing measures, might be made the basis Of
reconciliation and Of permanent domestic
peace.
