The condition Of the Treasury is far worse
than Is understood By the pntlic. OF disclosed
In the weekly statements. 1t has no. been 80
bad at any time since lsl4, when Treasury
notes were sold at 35 Per cent discount. Over
drafts amounting to $35o,O00 have been made
on New York, and orders have been dis spatchcl
to St. Louis to transfer S::>aN, 90 sent There to
pay army and other demands, TO New York to
ssasi=fy these drafts. There arc only few
hundred thousand dollars In all the Depoeito-
ries, scattered in email sums, AMI thus ren-
dercd unavailable at ans particular poiut The
Mint fund, which il rarely touched for any
other purpose, is exhausted, and there az

EXPECTED EFFECTS.

It is proposed by b1r. John Cochranc ot
New York, among others, to restore the
Missouri Compromise line and extend it to
the eastern boundary Of California, and to
amend the Constitution in such a way that
al territory south Of that line shall, not
may, be slave territory. This proposition
Is now most earnestly advocated by those
who were tho t1ercest for the Nebraska bill
in 1854, whereby the Compromise Of 1920,
WIS ovcrthrown. Our Washington corres-
pondcnt points out so clearly that all NAV
zee the difference between the scheme which
has just been latcllcd, land the Compromise
which the Democratic party destroyed. We
refer tho rcadcr TO lis letter printed here
with, while We state IN objection which
will conc home to all men Of peace, with
great force
The South is essentially and, her states-
men say, necessarily, aggressive. She de-
mands what 1cr politicians call expansion.
Slavery is wasteful and ruinous. It curses
the soil tilat it occupies and makes
1t US barrca ~ if sowed withsalt. Hence it
must have, if the system is to be maintained
and enlarged in accordance with the ideas
Of those who sustain it, room TO spread.
Draw line, then, across this continent,
Routh Of which freedom can mike no con-
test for the possession Of the soi1, and the
struggle for the acquisition Of
more territory would instantly begin. All
former raids into Cuba, Central America,
Sonora and Mexico would he child's play
compared with what single year would
develop. The temptation to increase the
political power Of the South, in the Senate,
by the conquest and organization of new
States, and the alluring prospect of more
profitable lands to be ovcrrun and worked
out, would be irresistible; aud the North
would not be able to say Nay: The threats
Of dissolving the Union now held over
Northern constituencies, would be renewed |
with the assurance, if VIC now give way, of |
unbounded success, Is the prospect allur-
Ing tc uny in tie North:

miscellaneous dirt eating will turn back the

WHAT 4 RAILROAD DIN

a few years ago, when the land grant
was made to the Illinois Central Railroad
the Company set forth that their grant
covered nearly Us much ground as the State
"f Connecticut. In reply to this, the op-
;'onents Of the scheme said the lands had
no value unless they were peop1ed. The
census just taken shows 814, ,891 souls in the
forty-nlne counties through which the uli-
nois Central Railroad runs; and Of this
number 479,293 have come in since 1850
Icing somewhat more than the entire
population Of good old Connecticut which
State, according to the late enumeration Of
its people, has but 100000.

There is not day in which wc do not
receive letters from well meaning but timid
friends as ;l;ng What Shall he Done? We
have cndtayored, once or twice, 10 answer
this frequently propoundcd inquiry; but
as it still continues We reply again, as be-
fore, No1H1Noi What can be done By the
Republicans? VIC ask in turn, They do not
wnnt to secede and break up the govern
ment- They donot want any amendments
to the Constitution; or if in their opinion
any are necessary for the maintenance of
tho rights Of citizens Of the North, when
IN the South, they donot ask for them now.
They have no concessions to oaer-no
bargains to make. They propose to SUBJ
NIT to the Constitution as it is, 10 abide by
It's compromises, 10 execute the laws in all
sections ofthe country, and to protect all
citizens IN thor constitutional rights. They
stand On safe, sound, conservative, and
cminent1y national ground. Will any one
tell us where, if that be abandoned, We
shall find refugc-whcrc the country can

IL no: on the platform that the people
have approvedy The nation las Just

not know what they want-that flcy vote

out, repent Of their act because South Car

are sane and earnest men, why insult them
Il the hour Of triumph, by; insisting that
they shall, under threat, adopt and incor-
porate into the Constitutions either Of the
two polisica! systems that they hare yoted
dcwnr
No, friends, nothing is to he done except
10 stand firm, to use conciliatory but dcci- |
dcd language to all who are dissatisfied
with the result at which the people have
arrived; to insist upon the preservation Of
the Constitution and the Union at all haz-
ards; and to encourage in each other the
cultivation Of the sentiment and idea of
liberty, in obedience to the restraints and
limitations Of law That's all; and if We
do that with m united and declared pur.
pose, this secession blast will soon blow
Out, aot without having redoundcd greatly
to the glory Of the Republican cause, and
the progress Of freedom in the land.
That's the ground on which we stand,
and where VIC intend to remain. It is TINT
which Inc Republican party occupies TO-
day; md rs sure as God is just, it cannot
abandon it without being demoralizcd md
destroyed We beg all compromiscrs who
