nSn- A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser
treats CURLY the plans of those passive Secession
lists vino, in the event of Mr.. Lincoln's election,
see the lruiton of all Southeners to take or hold
Office. lie argues:
"There are four kinds of Federal olice-holders
in Alabama, to wit: The officers of the Federal
Courts, Land officers, Postmasters and Collectors of
the Customs. The Judges of the Courts hold Of
fee for life, and therefore do not hold offices under
any Administration. Suppose that there be no
Marshals or District Attorneys in the Federal
Courts2 Suppose even that the Courts shut up,
what good Will that accomplish? What would
Lincoln care IT, the courts were closed How would
it interfere with his Administration Next come
the Land officers. Suppose the Land Offices were
closed who would be injured by it, Lincoln or our
own people The Government derives a patry
pitt0ncc from the sale Of its hitan-acre land which
II can spare without inconvenience. If the Offices
were closed, oar own people who want the land
could not get it. Next the PostmaStcrs. Suppose
the mails are stopped, who will be injured by it,
Lincoln or our people? The mails are gwen to us
as u boom at an expense to the Government and
are an Indispensable necessity to us, What would
LINCOLN care if we stole the mails Not a fig
Aud, last of all, the Custom House officers From
the receipts Of our Custom House Government de-
rives about million Of dollars per anuum This
Is the only part of the Federal Government the OBJ
structon Of which would iniure or annoy the nd
miniStTatOn. But we have no means of 9bstruct
ling the collection Of the customs. Suppose nonC
of our people dare accept Custom House Offices
then Lincoln will find Northern men who will ac
cept them. Suppose they dare not land upon on,
soil, then they can remain on shipboard, and col
lect customs on board revenue cutter

BsS- The N. Y. Time proposes, as a settlement Of
the difficulty between the North and the South, that
Congress shall enact law requiring the Federal
Government to pay fair price for every fSgiti We
slave lost to his owner. This is not only a very
narrow and contracted view of the merits Of the
controversy, but It is Offering Insult to injury in so
far it requires the STAKEHOLDER to pay in the shape
of taxes, portion Of the value of the property
stolen from him. If.the law Of pecuniary compen-
saiion were worth considering in connection with
the high constitutional rights and obligations in
volved in this question, Justice Simple and exact,
would demand that the State which frees and
habors the slave, should alone be made to pay his
value to the owner aud that the individuals in that
State who wrest from The STAKEHOLDER property
guaranteed to him by the Constitution, should suf
fer the full penalty for the crime But neither Of
these things win ever be done, nor viii fugityes
ever be restored, as general thing until united
South, by wise and unanimous action within the
Union, teaches the North that it has the will a.
well as the power to coerce, by civil means, the
fullest Justice, and the ampest reparation for til,
wrongs done TO its rights and its property.

psA.. The Cincinnati Commercial tRepuplican,)
of the 10Th says that no man in his senses believes
that the demands of Virginia will even be enter
tanned, much less conceded. And what are those
demands2 First That those nothern States which
have. null6cd the fugitive slave law shall repeal
their unconstitutional enactments. Second That
the equal rights of the South in the common I er
ritories Of the United States shall be fully recog
nized, and, third That slave property shall have
equal protection with all other kinds of property in
the Territories until the citizens thereof shall form
State Constitution. These are the demands that
will not even be entertained by Black Republican
Administration; and if the Commercial expresses
the views of Lincoln aud his party, all must see
that there can be no peace between the North and
the South. This same Republican organ which
sncers at the constitutional rights of the South,
with an mpudeuee born of vice, discusses the I'M
constitutionality of secession, and maintains the
constitutonality of those enaetments which set at
defiance u law of Congress, decision of the Su-
premo Court aud a clause of the Constitution
Such arrogance, injustice, and hypocricy insult.

secession than even the material grievances Of
which they complain. Gould we control the senti-

present these demands and suspend all Intercourse

Cd and that with such guarantees as would secure
thcm against future violation. This course would
soon humble Republican arrogance, and make the
party Odious at home that its leaders would hav,

RslS- II seems that some of our readers inferred
from an editorial of last week. that We are getting
to be a iire-eater. A more careful pcrusal of our
remarks would, we think, bring them to a differ
ent conclusion, especially when they remember that
we expressly declared that our suggestions were Of
fered as a substitute for secession and disunion;
and to avert either or BOTH we claim that it is far
better that united South should redress its wrongs
in the Union than that even one State should enter
upon the wild and dangerous experiment Of setting
up for itself The plan we proposed, involves no
violation of the Constitution, no Modification of
any Law of Congress, whilst secession does both
and must eyeutuatc in disunion by peccmoaL The
slave States have the right to withhold their dele
cation from Congress and they have right 20 insti-

would not only force an early compliance with our
reasonable demands, but strengthen the Union, we

RAJ The Louisville Journal suggests that the
press publish entire or give copious extracts FROM
Washington's Farewell Address and Jacksons
Proclamation, as a means of arousing the dormant
patriotism Of the masses. The suggestion has its
origin in patriotic devotion to the Union and the
Constitution, but ono might rs we'll sing psalms to
dead horse as TO make such appeals to people
wearing the collar of their masters. They who
feel and appreciate the force Of those able docu-
ments are the minority now battling for the Union
outside of these we have the majority, made up
Of dishonest demagogues and the masses who i'm
pliciuy obey their orders-thc former would swear
that those documents are forgeres, and the latter
would believe it. Were the mass of the people
free and guided by their instructive sense of right
such appeals would not be unavailing-indeed they
would never have become necessary; but when VIC
reflect upon the character of the material which
constitutes the heavy end of the baot-box and the
corrupt influence which fashion that material, how
hopeless appears the effort to make it available fol
the ends of an elevated and enlightened patriotism
We are not disposed to disporogo the capacity o.
the people for self-government, aud would not ven
ture 10 express q doubt upon the subject did no
the experience of thirty years. followed by th'
present posture of affairs force upon us the conyic
ton that the people have not that ca2acy, and tina
every government based upon that idea, must uti
mately prove failure. 1t is a beautiful theory
but not be reduced to successful practice unit
the heads and carts Of the majority fitted, b.
intelligence and virtue for the duties that devolv
upon the FREQ citizen Of free government. TIT
majority rule operates, directly, against the salu
tary influence of the honest and enlightened few
and until the majority changes places with the mi
nority, in the moral and intellectual scale tn
theory Of oCr government must prove sigma
mistake.

naE- Tho Savannah Republican says:

We are grotifed to see, from yesterdays mails,
that tho project of National Convention to agree
upon terms of a just and Constitutional Union, is
engaging the minds of the President and his Cab-
set aud will probably be formally proposed as a
means Of escape from existing troubles, as well as
the preservation of peace in time to come. We
observe also, that Mr.. Resent the Representative in
our Legislature from the county of Camden, has
introduced resolutions looking to the same end.
Let the ball roll on 1t is the only hope Of the
country in the crisis that is upon u.s. 1t sacrifices
nothing. 1t seeks an honorable continuance of the
Confederacy, and failing to obtain il, a peaceful
separation Such movement commends itself 10

only to be calmly considered to command the APP
