Mississippi Louisiana, aud Iesss, The feVc'U
ton;sts are running Che sa,ac rig. They desiro |
Ia take these States out Under whip ana spur |
hefore there is time for reaction. The Question,
.. hove slid, is, will they be able - do il I
u,,e st Washington the old political leaders OF
several Of these States ore cSidtnily alarmed
The movement has got wholly beyond their con.
troll. They feel they must 40 phcad mach fastcr
Than their own convictions wcuid lead them, or
be left behind 10 see oilers uore rampant vault
INTO their positions. Senators and Representa-
tyes are nike to be snasrcd under the Move
mcnt, each having his ASPIRATIONS, and what is
worse, his Federal salary, extinguished Ike the
blowing cut Of q canda, while he himself is TO
be suddenly reduced 10 the ranks of the people
and tisAe his charce aSong with the seething null
titade for precagious and Improbable honors in
revolutionary government, with very smart
cha1ce of beng Tuthlessly rode over aud tram
Pied under feot in the general melee. The pros
pect il not pleasing, especially TO the Old stagers,
snEo know tbey cannot vie with the young and
reckless whom such rash movement Is sure to
belch to tie surface The experienced do no
desire to court sudden ruin. The inexperienced
aud unscrapulous face it without knowing wha
| they do
II is said BY those who are aiding the move
| ment that 1t would not be at all surprising L
the ole leaders should all be hung By the revou-
tiorists before the thing is through with. That
1 the whole of them will go under in one way or
another, is, suppose, the lesson which history
would teach. Ard hence | say the members OF
| Congress from the States making haste to re-
tire, are not, as a general thing, jubilant, but
evidently depressed.
| | am able to see that these gentlemen, or
mapy of them, might be glad 10 seize upon some
concession which would save them their places;
but / do not so clearly see that the revolution
lists at home are going to be satisfied, except by
| proceeding TO consummate their schemes up to
the sticking point.
The secess.onsts have already got their heads
full of oil manner of absurd projects for what they
| call a reconstruction" For example, they do
not ike the threatening attitude of the North
West in regard 10 the mouth Of the Mississippi
River. and one Of their plans is to confederate
with everybody in the Mississippi Valley and
even go 80 far as Pcnng lvania and NewYork
the terms they dictate. But New-Engand, with
Der twelve Senators, ia not TO be allowed
the privilege of coming in on any imaginable
condition whatsoever. The fanatics of that dis
trict of country are TO be fenced out at all haz-
ards. You mas think this scheme joke. II is
no Joke at all, but seriously entertained pro-
iect Take out the twelve New-England Sen
ators and their unanimous representation in the
lower branch, and the slayehodiug section have it
al their own way again in the new Confcdcracy.
That it takes two to make bargain may be
innocently suggested, bat that is no maxim Of
the South Their plan is have things their oica
wpy without reference to anybody else.
Now, the people or rather the ruling
classes of the Slave States are brave, aets'e,
fighting ICoJle. They can HEX up as great
row in as sEol; tine es any ether sat of men
OIL earth. 1Ley are prime guerrillas, end good
al Il dish In word, they do as greaf
business On q smah capital as any other people
IA der tie SUI. And they Ike 70 do It,
Hoemcr, they love tie Mcxlcauese stiles. They
ike 70 Iun governments horseback with q 10 $50
for II cir opponents ard tree III the distance.
They have feryor Of spirit that makes them

patriotic. THUS Serator lverson Of Georgia sag-
e,.ted the sticking OF Sam Houston, because Old
san JscintO did not believe in calling Disunion
Convention. And the Wises 60 for raising Min
ute Men and commencing q civil war at Wash-
ngton, with a veY TO arrest tie inauguration of
| President Liocon.
From such and divers other similar cOnsdera-
tons, thus conclude that the Gulf States intend
to 20 the length Of their rope in their present
movement. They mean to go out, aPprehend,
if for nothing else than TO see how it seems, ex-
pectng TO be invited back perhaps or ut all
events TO come back, if staying out should be
E found not 10 agree with them. IL does not loOh
to me, therefore, that concessions at this time
are going TO arrest this course that they would
= thank anybody for their custom in offering them.
And this conviction | suspect, operates to render
the representatives Of the precpitated" States
Indifferent TO having any propositions offered Il
them. They would hardy knew, now, bow to treat
them without ad,iccs FROM the scat Of war al
home. !. 3. p.
