Capt. Maury of the National Observatory has
RENTED, for q time, his nautical observations
and deductions and betaken himself to the fash
ionable task Of saving the Union--or perhaps we
should, in Difference to the acute sensbilites OF
the Palmetto Nation, say rather that he aims to
revive or reconstruct the Union. He opens the
case as follows:
mn OMAR SIR: 1t does appear that permitting
this Union to be dissolved through lack Of little plain
Rely upon a. the body OF the Southern people

Them 10 Union They think sud rightly think that the di
cuies the settled nowin the Union
If Of II The South considers
herself the sggeved party She stands upon her dignity and
because she has oyeuTos to make
Let us look ut this q moment in the light
of "plain common sense" 1t was all along
asserted, throughout the late Presidential canvass
by the incongruoss factions opposed to the Re-
publicans, that Mr.. I.incOln's election would
insure dissolution Of the Union. 1t was the
fundamental base of their appeals and their Goa
ltions that the election of either Bell, Douglas,
or Breckenridge, would save the Union. Well:
Lincoln is elected, and the prophets of evil
thereupon proceed to fulfill their own prophecies
by breaking up the Union. They have since been
firing the Southern heart" as Mr. Yancey long
ago proposed to do, with intent to "precipitate
- the Cotton States into a revolution" Capt.
MauTy takes the part Of the disturbcrs so far
as TO insist that the South is the aggrieved
party-that she must be placated by the North
and yet he says that the Unaffected section
" stands upon her dignity, and makes no over
% lures, because she has no Overtures to make"
Very good. We might suggest that dignity"
affords rather narrow footing, but never mind.
The South considers herself aggrieycd, but stands
on her dignity: why is not that good position
for the North also Should not plain common
"sense suggest that grievance which cannot
be stated, or for which the aggrieved chooses to
suggest no remedy, may safely be left to cure
itself
But Capt Maury has snug place with a
good SALARY, and he evidently doesn't care to cut
loOse from the Union whatever his section may
do. So he dismounts from his dignity, and pro-
poses mode Of adjustment or reconciliation, a.
follows:
"Thers III. gallant little State Of New Jerey She La. ever

the sh Of her sisters ia the confedrscy She one Of the
Old Thirteen ho ACT VI hers has ever offended her sister

those States that have ordered Convention Of their citizens
upon the state Of tho Union and in her let them ssh the
people assembled in their sovereignty 10 state the term.
and conditions upon which they viii be TO remain In the
Union"
We beg the Captains pardon, but, as We have
no salary to conserve, We aro mpclcd to sug-
gest that the North may possibly have some
dignity" to maintain, and that she also may
possibly suppose thht her dignity viii afford her
standing room. Here is Northern State ad.
