This much taikcl of line divides the
country, commencing at the point on
the Atlaatio coast whctc the dividing
line between Virginia and North Caroi-
ma commences; passes along the line
dividing those States; along the line
between Tennessee and kentucky along
the line between the States of Missouri
and Arkansas; thence through the Ter
ritory OF tie Cherokee nation, through
New Mexico, striking The eastern boun-
Gary OF the State OF California, a short
distance south Of the middle, striking
the Pacific a short distance south of
line thrc are about 100000 square
miles OF territory, including Indian res
ervatlrns, while on the North there are
about 100000 square miles. OF the
100000 square miles south Of 5000
there is not the slightest probability that
there could he carved out more than one
slave State. All New Mexico, CON-
prlsing about 100000 square miles,
would never become slave Territory,
from the fact that it is not adapted to
slave labor. 1t produces neither cotton
nor cane. North Of that line, though
slavery were to be legallzed, it could
never exist.
This shows the folly of the declaration
of the Republican party to make all the
territory of the United States free ter
ritory, or else destroy the Union. This
is the position Of its leaders.
LAST October, few weeks prior TO
Lincoln's election, the Tribune prophe-
cied as follows:
1t will be pleasant and instructive to
see what quoting effect, Ike that of
oil poured upon the waters, the election
OF Lincoln will have upon the agitation
just now OF the political elements. They
(the Southern people, have not the
shghtest lntentlon OF giving any practi-
Cal effect to those threats OF secession or
1orc'ole resistance to the Inauguration
and Administration of Lincoln, out of
wh'ch some OF our city papers are striv-
ing TO create a panic. The election
over, they will hasten to shake off a
s"sP'c'on fatal to all their future pros
Pecis. The avowed disunionlsts will
shrink INTO little fraction about as
numerous ard influential az our Garrison
Aboltionists, while the great bulk of
Southern politicians will be too busv in
looking forward to new combinations.

A friend hands US the following extract of a
speech made by Gen. Montgomery, of Revolu-
tionary times, to his soldiers just before his at
tack upon Quebec. The language is so appro-
pirate to the present state of things, and SO ap-
plicable to those who are soon to engage 18th
the secessionists, that we give them place.
"And what object can be more
worthy ofyour courage at present? Yourselves
your children, your own rights are to be defend
ed. We must conquer, or we must return to
the dominion of feudal slavery, and of every
sort OF vexation and oppression and servtude
Your own individual happiness and the happi-
ness Of all those dear to you, is thus intimately
connected with the safety of your country. But
those are unworthy to defend it who do not
add virtue to courage. The men whom we
Sight to-day are our brothers-to-morow per-
haps, they will be cur friends. Intrepid in bat
tie, firm during misfortune, modest after Victo
ny, generous to the vanqu shed such are free
people.
The law will punish with just severity all out
RACES against the rights Of nations, and still
more sacred rights Of nature. Rewards, on the
contrary, will attend faithful warriors Their
names will obtain forever the gratitude and
the homage of the friends Of liberty, and if
they die in battle their children shall be the
children Of their country.
AS for our President, he is immovable. In
the midst of political storms, he will calmly
watch over all the movements of the enemies
of our country. The world shall determine
whether he is the President of great people,
or the timid subject of an arbitrary power. He
has sworn not to capitulate either to pride or
Tyranny. He will keep his oath.

The Lavv Against Piracy.


Judge Sprsgue of the United States District
Court, few weeks ago defined treason very
clearly. To-day he laid down the law against
piracy He says the statutes on the subject, be-
ing enacted pursuant to the Constitution, are
of paramount authority and cannot be invalid
ated or impaired by the action Of any State or
States; and every law, ordinance and constitu-
ton made by them for that purpose, whatever
its name or form, is wholly nugatory and can
afford no legal protection to those who act I'M
der IT, Comparing the seeded States to Il por-
ton of a foreign country in revolution, AMI
claiming TO be independent he says is tie Leg
islative and Executive Departments Of cur Gov
eminent utterly refused to recognize such new
Government, or acknowledge ii a. having any
belgerent or national rights; and, instead Of
taking a neutral attitude, endeavor by force to
suppress depredations on commerce by such
assumed Government, as violating the rights
and infringing the laws Of the United States,
then the judiciary will hold that such dcpreda-
lions are not to be considered as belligerent and
entitled 10 the immunities of lawful war, but
as robbery, or other lawless depredations, sub
iect to the penalties denounced by our laws
against such otfenses.
There is another view, that mere rebellion
absoIves 10 man from his allegiance. Citizens
of the United States, therefore, may not only
be subject to the penalties OF treason, but If
they commit hostilities upon the commerce Of
the United States, under commission from any
foreign notion even the Oldest and best estab-
lished such as England or France, may be dealt
with as pirates.

In his recent message, Jefferson Davis says
that the right of state TO judge It's wrongs
''was maintained by overwhelming majori,ies
of the people of all the states of the Union es-
pecay in the election of Mr.. Jefferson in 1905,
Mr., Jefferson in 1909, and Mr.. Pierce in 1852. ]"
Mr.. Jefferson in his inaugural address in
1901, the sentiments eff which he repeated in
1906, made use Of the following expressions:
1.-THE preservation of the general government
in itsswhole constitutional vigor, as the sheet
anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
absolate acquescence in the decisions of the
majority, the vital principle of republics, from
which there is no appeal but to force. the vital
principle and immediate parent of despotisn,"
In 1889, Mr.. Jefferson wrote:
"When t,oO parties make a compact there re-
suits to each q pO,0cr Of compelling the other to
execute IT,
After the election of Mr.. Madison, the cleo
tors of Virginia, the Madison corresponding
committee and the Governor of the State dined
together in Richmond. The following was the
fourteenth regular toast:
"The union Of stars the majority mast gou-
ern 1t IS treason to Secede."
Now for General Pierce. just prior to the
nomination, Mr.. King, of Alabama, who was the
candidate for Vice President, wrote letter in
which he said
II have ever been a state-rights man of the
Jeffersonian school, and can fearlessly appeal to
my whole public life in proof of the assertion.
am not, however, prepared to admit that the
states possess either the CONSTITUTE email or the
reserved right to secede from the Union"
General Pierce himself is now on the side of
the government.

President Lincoln is now free to act and it
may be worth our while to examine the means
by which he proposes to coerce the seeding
States back into the Union Judging by his
declaration to the Virginia Commissioners, and
his proclamation OF war against the South, we
are led to conclude that coercion will in no
sense be invasion. The President designs mere
~ to occupy and posse,s the propertv belong
ing to the Federal Government, and few will
dispute his right to do so, even though such oc-
cupation should entail civil war. This avowal
gives us the clue to Mr.. Lincoln's policy, when
taken in connection with the fact that everv
Southern port is blockaded, and the mails stop
ped to seeded States. 1t IS not proposed to
enter the States composing the Southern Con-
federation, but merely to regain the property
which belongs, and always has belonged, to the
Federal Government This is precisely what
the South most desires to avoid. for if Mr., Lin
coin can re-talle and hold the Balize forts at the
mouth OF the Mississippi and the defences of
Pensacola, Savannah, and Charleston, Southern
independence will become impossible, and the
seceders be compelled to return to their allegi-
ance. There as no community an the ciUiti@ed

coth designs to PIT The secederS into thas position
SO as to compel submission. Whether he has the
power to effect this purpose we need scarcely
stop to examine, but he can st all events, keep
up such state of alarm upon the Southern
coast as Will vitality effect commerce if it does
not annihilate it. The Government of Mont.
gomery evidently fears this result, but as the
Southern Contederacy does not possess a navy,

After the band came eight men bearing the dead
