Social Lifo In Washington.

Tho social life of Washington will be consid-
erahly affected by the prevalence Of disuniun
feeling Dinner parties and receptions by the
high public "fnnct1onaries and by Southern
Congres.ncn will he, rs FAR as possible, given
up. The South have had the control Of the
capital SO long, that their wishes on this point
are decisive, and to judge Gy the dcmeanor .,f
Southern Senators and Representatives in pull
lie towards Northern men, with whom they
have hitherto bscn on term, Of familiarity, no'i
intercourse will be tic rule for the winter, and
re must wait for tho coming iu Of i Reruh]i-
ran President before the era Of good leelin:,
ehall be renewed. At ths dinner given by the
President to the diplomatic corps, {wherc. cnu-
trarJ to usage, not o sin.le member Of the
Cabinet was in attcndance.) he is said to have
expressed the apprehension that it was the
last scrics OF dinners OF the kind they would
ever enjoy at the White house. In this ill.,
preston The diplomatic corps seem to agree
the Southern Senators having tAken pains to
indroctinate them with thcir peculiar notions
as to the state Of things Mt The South.
Judging from the arrivals here aud the or
ders fur rooms at hotels, there will be plenty
Of strangers here during the session, to wit
ness the decline and fall, not of the govern
ment, but Of Mr.. Duchanan's administration.
At Wizards, for example, which in extent is
now, perhaps, the largest hotel in the United
States, preparations are made to entertain
three thousand guests about the period Of the
Inauguration Of Lincoln. The dining hall has
been enlarged to hold ninc hundred, and the
Presbyterian church In the rca- Of tho hotel
has been annexed, which will hold good
mauy more When this building, by tha way,
WINS purchased by the Willard* last winter, It
was employed in the week days for dancing

firmly established us that clause of tho
fundamental law which forbida titles oi

The sublime impudence Of the proposition
is in tho TACT that while creating new

compromisers insist with dogged pertina-
cy that these slaves, shall In the slavc
States, retain the attributes ofpersons, and

Missouri he is a 1erson, entitled TO three
fiftis Of the representa- n which white

POLITICS AND FINANCE,

The first step towards restoring conf
dencc in commercial and monetary circles
must be 10 restore confidence in the statil-
ity Of the government All other things, 10:
the time being, will hinge on Ibis. 1fSou,ll
Carolina is permitted TO sccede to day, and
Georgia 10 morrow, with Louisiana 10 follow
next week, the panic Of necessity will 1s'-
como overnowering; and If universal
bankruptcy does not supeTcnc, it will he
the next thing to universal. II the scccs-
sion Of lhe Gulf States is 10 be acauiescctl
in, the channels Of trade are sundered. all
laws for the collection Of debts are Sits
pended, exchanges are ctstructcd, properly
is confscatcd, and all the clements OF fina,,-
cial ruin, growing out Of fear and frenzy,
arc tumbled upon us together. But this is
not the worst. The precedent established
BY The secession al one State applies 10 I'll

year and !: establish an independent
government. Maine may annex her

lures which can create aud maintain Il full
Iloodcd panic, rush in at The heels Of r.
ccssion. But to the northwest there nte
mora serious troubles involved. The loss

necessarily brcals up the commerce Of its
grea. tributaries, the Ohio, tho Missouri,
the Illinois, the Wabash, tic Wisconsin. i,
an incalculable, an irreparable loss, sutii-
cient to ruin the country s:x times over.
And the example Of secession which c.,is,
us off from the Gulf Of Mexico applies
equally to the Eastern States, which may
in turn cut US of from the Atlantic. We
grant this event is mot probable, hut who
among us is prepared for that line Of poll
cy which makes it possible? 81.
1t is not to be wondered at tlat in the

People have used the words " Southern
rights" encroacll1ncnt," "fanaticism,"
compromises OF the Constitution" and
the like, so much and so long, that they are
in imminent danger Of forgetting what ail
tie present rowdy~dow is about-of cover
ing up the true meaning Of the contest
under flood Of words which any parrot
might repeat We 60 back TO first princ;-
pies, and tell in plain Saxon what the rca!
struggle is. 1t is for
!. The ai3at Of property in n1en, toomf"
and chi!tl1xn-a right which is of modern
invention, and which only 1attcr-day ingc-
nuity has found in the Constitution oi tic
United States.
II. The desire Of the South to usurp tl,c
control and shape the destiny Of all the
Territories by dcyoting them to slavery,
and telling freedom 10 stand back until .l.c
man-scllcrs arc scrycd-a desire whiel,
none Of the fathers Of the Republic induls-
ed and which is not justified by line of
the fundamental law.
III. The determination of the South 10

Law which is atrocious in every one Of its
3eatures-whicl, conlpels free men to att

carry slavery into all the Free States in
spite Of local legislatures and the people
thereof-to carry il by demanding for
Southern men The right oftransit and tcn,-
porary sojouru with their chattcls. This
is also e. new claim which complaisancc
may allow, but for which no warrant exists.

South can govern the country, her citizens
will submit to laws which they make; but us

the forms and in consonancc with the snir-
it Of the Constitution. assumes the powc:,
they will revolt and set up for themselves
These all resolve themselves into opc,
and that ia this:
We, Southern gentlemen shareholders,

600 souls, despisins democracy and your
toiIing men Of the North, demand that we
may he permitted 10 do what VIC pleasc
with the institution Of Slavery--to buy nra
sell, work without pay and whip without

children we please; and when our partisan
courts canno,.3lnd justification for our arts
in the Consultation, we demand of you IN
amendment of that instrument, and you
must submit, or VIC break the govern
