BELLOWS FALLS. MAR. 8, 1861
Thank Heaven /!

Finally ia spite OF and amid all The
troubles and trials, confliciion and confusion,
sreachery and traitors and obstacles which
the ingenuity Of wicked men could invent,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN is President Of tie
United States.
In common with thousands OF others, for
the frat time since being freeman, we
have the satisfaction Of entertaining views
and principles in harmony with the national
administration.
We have not the space TO comment upon
the admirable address of the new Presinent.
Nor does il need any. II will be read BY
everybody. Il isan honest document, with
out couccalmen, and without compromise.
There is no language in it to irritate, while
il does not abate one iota Of republican
principle. The argument against the right
Of secession is strongly taken, and to object
to the policy thus naugurated, is to go for
the dissolution Of the government and the
cztaoiishinent Vi anaiSuJ'
The Cabinet Of the President is COM
posed Of some Of the best character, talent
and ability of the country, and is as follows;
Secretary Of s,ate--wiiliam II Seward Of NY.
srcrctary Of Treasury---salmon P. Chase Of Ohio
Secretary Of war-smon Cameron Of Penn.
Secretary OF Nsvy--Gideon Welies OF Conn
Secretary Of Iutersr--Caleb D. Smith Of Indiana
Postmaster Generalization tgomery blair Of Nd
Attorney Generai-Edward Bates Of Missouri.
Most Of these men have long been in pub
lie life, and all but Mr.. Bates were original
republicans of 1856. They form rare
combination Of political ability and expert
cree, and no cabinet has ever been formed
with greater distinction in this respect.
We close this brief article by asking the
particular attention Of our readers to the
last two closing paragraphs of the Presi-
dents Address.

Correspondence between Hen. HI. 5. FOote
ana Hon, Andrew J. DOnelsOu.
NAeuvurr March TX 1851

NASHVILLE, March 10, 1861
Hon. Andrew j. DoRelson:
SIR: In the progress of the very interesting con-
versaton, which occurred last evening, at a certain
public place in this city, in which you prominently
participated had the satisfaction of hearing you
enunciate the views at present entertained by you,
touching the policy and duty of the Border Slave
States at this fearful and perpexiDg crisis There
was so much of what you said on that occasion,
which heartily approved, that feel justified in
thus calling upon you to embody the same in writing,
in order that your fellow-citizens, generally, may
have the opportunity accorded TO them of proftiDg
by your sage and salutary counsels 1 agree
with YOU in suppOsng it to be altogether probable,
that Virginia in her Convention, now in session,
will be able to mature satisfactory Olindtrn for
the tulOle South, which. after having been duly rati
fed by the Border Conference which she is evident
y about to call into existence, is likely eventuate
in relieving US. in one of two ways, from our pre-
sent embarrassments. Either thetttaGtiua referred
to- on being presented to each one of the free States
of the North, for consideration, will be accepted,
and enable u.s. by such act of acceptance TO employ
suitable persuasives ameng the seeded States Of
the South to induce them TO return within the fold
of the Union; this stmat,ua, being rejected by the
free States of the North, would alike enable US to
restore ourselves to our former happy and adyan-
tageous connection with the cotton States of the
South from whom we have been of late so unfor-
tunatey separated.
1t is due TO our long standing social relations
and to my own reputation for frankness. to say,
that see but little, if any hope of finding the North
ern States disposed to grant the needed concessions
So far they have appeared to be utterly regardless
to the claims of justice confrateTnity Still am
quite willing, under the circumstances, that the
last experiment will be made in the hope that if
other good effect shall result uaited South may at
last be secured / am the more reoonoiled to this
plan O.: operation, since deem it quite certain that
if faithfully pursued our present troubles will be
brought TO a termination in the space of three or
four months, at most.
Helping for early reply to this communication
have the honor to be. very cordially and respect
fully, your friend and fellow citizen.

FrprR Never in the history of our nation
has Federalism made such rapid progress as since the
aection OF LINCOLN Before then the Democracy were
al State Rights men, and but few oftheir opponents
vould admit that they believed in the consolidating
centralzing doctrines of the old Federa:sts State
sovereignty was everywhere maintained. There
was not man in the South who held the doctrine
that q State bore the same relation 70 the Federal
Government that county does to the State.
Black Republicanism now proclaims it boldly
Mr.. LINCOLN did so in one of his speeches on his
trip to Washington.
The Cincinnati Gazette says
The States. as such. are not recognized to any
greater extent than counties in State Constitl-
tons. The Constitution is supreme; the States are
subordinate corporations for local purposes.
If such be the case why not blot out all State
lines Why let such thing State sovereignty
be recognized by giving to every State, large and
small, the same representation in the Senate Why
not strike from the Constitutional the United States

The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution nor prohibited by Il 70 the States,
are reserved to the States respectively or 10 the
people.

ss reasonable, the Declaration of Rights from the
Constitution of the State of Tennessee With some

mas of ancient Federalism. With come the only
hope of Federal promotion is to advocate the power
