Mr.. VarIandinghum on Coercion,

The reelection of Hon. c. L. VAIL,NDINGHAu to
Congress from Ohio, having been the occasion for
some spiteful comments upon his position by the
Cincinnati Gaelic, he has written letter 20 the
Enquirer of the same city, in which he reiteratcs
his formerly expressed opinions:
And now let me add that did say, not in Wash
ington not at dinner-tabe, not in the presence Of
tire-eaters,n but in the city of New York, IN
public assembly of Northern men, and in pubic
speech at the Cooper Institute the ID OF November
1860, that if any or more Of the States OF TINS
Union should at any time secede for reasons of the
sutciency and Justice of which, before God and the
great tribunal of History, they alone may judge
much asI should deplore il, never would, as rep
resentative in the Congress of the United States,
vote dollar of money whereby one drop Of Amer
lean blood should be shed in a civil war. That SEN
tment thus uttered in the presence Of thousands Of
the merchants and solid of the free and patriot
&c city of New Ork, was received with vehement
and iongcontinued applause the entire vast assem-
bage rising as one man, and cheering for some min
utes. And now deliberately repeat and reafirm it.
resolved, though ! stand aone though all others
yield and fall away TO make il good TO the last mo-
ment of my public life. No menace no public cla-
NOR no taunts, nor sneers nor foul detractiOn from
any quarter, shall drive me from my firm purpose.
Ours is government Of opinion, not of force-a
Union of free will not arms; and coercion is civil
war-a war of sections. a war of States, waged BY
race compounded and made up Of all other races
fnl of intellect Of courage, of will unconquerable
and when set on fire by passion the most belliger
emf and most ferOcOus on the globe-a civil war
full of horrors which no imagination can conceive
and no pen portray. If Abraham Lincoln is wise,
looking truth and danger full in the face, he
will take counsel OF the 'old men, the mOderates
of his party and advise peace, negotiation, corcCs
sion; but if like the foolish Of the wise kI:S, he
rejects these wholesome counses. and hearken only
to the madmen who threaten chastsement with
scorpions let him see to it, lest it be recorded at
last that none remained TO serve him. save the
house of Judea only" At least, ifhe viii forget the
secession Of the Ten Tribes, will he not remember
and learn lesson of wisdom from the secession Of

There are two institooshuns' that have done
more than all others combined 10 retard and poison
American progress. The banking system ana
the credit system have been, like another Guy
Fawkes moling beneath our national wealth, ready
at a moments warning 10 blow our commerce, our
manufactures and our labor into ruins. Banks and
credit are a lie and cheat. They are shadows
- false, hollow deusive shadows. When we are
prosperous they cling around us like summer
friends" They initiate US with gas, like balloon,
and we are dragged upwards, not by virtue Of our
strength but by our hghtness. When we are IN adj

If the people had consented in the past TO live on
what they had earned, and refused TO mortgage

honest earnings in gold, they would have been a

And kissed her silent tears.

But when alone at night, poor child,
She wept her life away.
We strove by every ara, poor child,
D. every tender art,
And every gentle means to win
Her sorrows fsom her heart.
But still she dropped beneath care,
Ard sadder grew each day
Ter cheek always wet poor child,
She Eept her life away
Still while she wept and strOve, poor child,
To pay our love with smiles,
Ard hide her from hearts
With sweet aud playful wiles,
Her lip grew winter and her check
Grew paler day by day.
And struggling with her grief. poor child,
She wept her life away.
She died when summer came, poor child,
The child we could not save,
And hardly mourning that she slept,
We laid her in the grave.
She never could forget the daV
Her sainted mother died;
They could not live apart, poor child,
They slumber side by side

Werd TO the National Democracy OF
Tennessee

Tennessee
We have heretofore refused 70 urge our friends TO
attend the proposed State National Democratic Con:
vention, to be held at Nashville on the 9Th Of Janu-
airy next, because we have regarded the movement
as entirely premature. In the present disordered
status on political affairs, when the Federal Gov
eminent is upon the brink of imminent dissolution
we have thought proper to engage ourselves with
weightier matters than keeping up the organization
of a mere political party. The time which will
elapse between the present month and the period
for the usal gubernatorial election, VIII be amply
sufficient in which to take steps towards making
available and appropriate nominations for State
officers Il is impossible for to anticipate the
future Of parties in the country the issues which
may be evoked by the emergencies of the present.
We therefore would venture to advies the postpone
ment of this movement upon individual respon-
sibility, and without pretending to speak the or
gan Of any set of men or any party. Our thoughts
of party success, ought at least for time to be
swallowed up in considerations of mightier inter-
ests and of greater moment. We submit to the sug-
gestion to the calm and sober reflection of poll
teal friends. Memphis Appeal.
