Such shemes are the last resort Of rufians.
The Union sentimets of Cochrane in the
House and Salisbury in the Senate, drew
heaty applause from the galleries; last
year the disunion sentiments were mostly
-applauded.
Secretary Cass will shortly give to the
public bis views of the political condition
Of the country.
Two millions of dollars will be wanted
January Ist to pay the interest of the
public debt. There is not that amount in
:be Treasury. and bill will probably be
reported to day, authorizing the issue of
ten millions of Treasury notes.
Hope for relief is grounded upon the
anticipated changes in the Cabinet. Mr..
Holt, P. N. General, will take The place of
Secretary Cobb, and Mr.. Fessenden, of the
Finance Committee, will succeed Mr.. Hun
ter, the present Chairman. The passage
of the Morrell Tariff Bill is expected after
these shanges, and brighter times are look
ed for.
The correspondents of the Cincinnati
Commercial, telegraph that Seward, Cor
win, Sherman, Wade, ali the Republicans,
and Douglas and bis friends, assume bold
ly that the idea of The Right of Secession
shall never be admitted in any event, and
men of stamini take the ground that, if
necessary, steel and lead shall be the ulti-
fmatum. 7EfCn

NORTHERN FIRMNEss.
You would be surprised at Northern
sternness. Many Southern men are delu.
ded with the chimera that, if Government
attempt to coerce the South, revolution
will ensue in New York and other North.

meanor of Republicans. They begin TO
manifest serious anxiety 10 know whether
the North will meet the shock bravely.-
There seems yet to be no traitors in the
North.
BucHANAN's COURAGE.
It is considered not unlikely that the
Presidents courage may he terribly tried
before New Years, as his intination in his
Message that revenue laws must be enforc-
ed at Charleston, will be pressed home on
him by the North. Senator Douglas is
bold, and infexibly for the Union.
JERRY BLACK.
Southern men have ruined Jerry Blacks
prospects for a seat on The Supreme Court
Bench. They accuse him Of penning often
sive portions of the messge, and if the
President should appoint him the South
will oppose, and rejection would follow
Douglas friends are in ecstacies.
FORT MoULTRIE.
Fort Moultrie is garrisoned by ninety
men, KeHtuckians, and Col. Anderson will
die by the flag of the Union sooner
than yeiId TO any public enemy. South
Carolina members say that their State will
not assault the Fort. Their Commiss-
toner's appointed by State Convention will
apply to the Federal Executive for peaceful
arrangement and adjustment of financial
matters after secession.
TENNEssEEANs VIEW.
Virginia Kentucky, and Tennessee Un-
ion men were storming about the "insul!
ing" demeanor of South Carolina and de-
nounced disunion as superlative folly
"Wbat," said Tennesseean, "shall Tennes-
see be dragged into this folly by South
Carolina? We are a prosperous and hap |
py people. Our uiggers are under better
subsection, and are happier than they ever
were. We've got good trade with the
North and South, and does South Carolina |
imagine we are such Internal fools as 10

Whose agoing to run 'em off The most
internal nonsense ever heard Off And a
Virginian planter in a similar state of mind,
raved up and down Pennsylvania Avenue,
swearing he "would shoulder musket and
march down with Virginia troops and
wipe out South Carolina, if she didn't stop
her cussed folly" He went on to say that |
secession has already reduced the value of
niggers 6tty per cent. g Tz3a.E

: Senator Trumbull will not confess that
secession is likely, excepting perhaps in
the case of South Carolina, she being lu-
natic, apdtberefore an exception to all laws.

Senator Wade recognizes the facts, is ready
tosieatthem as facts, and says the North
has nothing to do but proceed as she ever

Senator Stewards position is in dispute.
The logic Of his career has a duplex inter-
pretion. One party says he will yield too
muchto the South, notwithstanding his
"irrepressibe" speeches. Thurlow Weeds
articles confirm this impression,
because his intimacy with Seward seems
to Indicate tina. they are acting in concert,
aud that the utferances of the Albany
Evening Journal are The echoes of Sew

contend that he will, as usual, lead the
in the line of rigid principle.
But general impression obtains that he
will assume the role of pacifcator. Sum-
