The citizens of Washington City and Vi
unity, during the contest for Speaker of the
House, crowded the galleries and loudly ap-
plauded the disunion threats of the fre-eaters.
The state of affairs has changed since then-
The Democracy about to vacate the seats
of power and patronage-the fre-euters are
no longer in the ascendant disunion would
endanger the continuance of the seat of gov
ernment at their cty-and the music they
now make is of different strain They still
crowd the galleries, but their applause is called
forth only by appeals in behalf of the Union
and denunciations of secession.

-, ~ The Baltimore Exchange demo
eratl has very poor opinion OF Mr.
= Buchanan as AN cNpoundcr OF the
constitutional law:
nrr sThe only deduction we can draw
q from his theory is that the right Of
q revolution may be exercised at any
4@time by any member of the conteder-
ssation, for if the Federal Government
~ can never repress such revolution,
dFa State may 90 out of the Union for
amy cause or for no cause at ALL
: South Carolina may sccede on ac-
= count Of a Homestead or Tariff Bill
as well as on any other grounds,
whether they be frivolous or just, and
Mr.. Buchanan can no more collect
revenue than he can do anything else
sin seeding State. Practical Y, then,
e. the right Of secession exists though
- it may not be deducible from the pre-
else language Of the Constitutions or
from the history Of the Convention
by which the latter was formed. We
cannot but think this construction Of
:. the Constitutions altogether unsound.
1t cannot be that the right OF reYolu-
d ton can exist, unless the right to
* Judge Of its propriety and to resist it
- resides liz the government whose au-
- shortly is defied. If the latter can
ssdo, nothing to prevent State from
Withdrawing its allegiance then such
action on the part of such State can
scarcely be called revolution. But
if secession is revolution, it seems to
49, rs that the General Government has
=. the inherent and undemable power to
= suppress it. 1t might be unwise to
= exercise that power, and as against
q the contemplated movement at the
IA South it certainly would be injudi-
cious and ruinous; but that the Pres
ident and Congress have the mere le-
galright to put down revolution, in
a5surrection or rebellion we cannot
20 doubt.

Nearly all the Washington letter writers
refer TO the prevalence of rumors of contem-
plated violence in that city by the disunionists
on OF hesorelthe4th Of rMarch.a The cores

people here who ereditzthe story.
Mr.. Douglas even, it is said, believes there is
such u conspiracy. and that its object is to pre-
vent the Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln. 1 can

and speaking of the organization of party

this kind be attempted, those who engage in it

THE SOUTHERN MANIFESTO.

To our constituents the argument is exhaus-
ted. All hope of relief in the Union through
the agency of the committee and congressional
legislation, or constitutional amendments, is
extinguished and we trust the South will
not be deceived by all appearances, or the pre-
tense Of new guarantees. The republicans are
resolute in their purpose to grant nothing that
viii or ought to satisfy the South. In our
Judgment, the honor, safety and independence
of the Southern people are to be found only III
Il Southern Conlederacy, the inevitable result
Of separate State secession. That the sole and
primary aim of each slayeholding State ought
to be its speedy aud absolute separation from
an unnatural and hostile Union. ,--' .'

South Carolina, the leader in the secessi OIL
movement, has always seemed like foreign

Of her sister States-is vain, arrogant and

flctious and her people, who are entrusted
With but little power Of any kind, not even
being permitted to vote directly for President,

pointed hour, the Clerk in his black silk robe
like the gown of an Episcopal Clergyman, calls
the roll. The Messenger, in front Of the
Speakers room il. the lobby strikes his staff

Speaker, The cry is repeated at the door of
the House by the Doorkeeper in a very loud
tone of voice. accompanied with three heavy
raps with his staff. The Speaker clothed in
rich mazarine blue robe, aud preceded by the
Messenger with his staff in hand, marches up
the aisle and takes his scat. Three raps with
the gave calls the House to order, the journ-

The House Itself presents an unusual ap
