spirit Of the Morning Pr.ss

The IstsH,genesr treats the resolution ADOPTED
n q public meeting In Prince Georges county,
Md and published yesterday In the Baltimore
Sur, that Maryland will assert her right to
jurisdiction over the District Of Columbia In case
of a dissolution of the Union" as a question
revolving within the sphere OF the law and not
pertaining TO the domain Of revolutionary vio-
lence, where the voice Of law Is silenced by the
din Of arms. It quotes the first and second sec
tion Of the act relative to the cession Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, showing that a retrocession OF
the District can only be effected by an act of
Congress relinquishing all claim and title.
The Republican says the demand from the
North for some measure OF adjustment IL large
and pressing, and that man is most unwise
politician, who does not see that there would be
great danger Of a seriously divided North, IL the
republicans were not ready, to do anything, not
repugnant to their principles to remove all STUN
blirg blocks In the way Of a restoration Of har-
mOnY.

an apology for not before noticing the fact that
he has become the publisher a. well as the editor
Of the States and Union newspaper, printed in
this city. The published notice Of that fact e.
capped our observation until the afternoon Of the day
before yesterday, and briefer notice of the
change, which we indited Yesterday, was lost in
"sending up"a crowd Of copy. We have now
to say, however, that besides being heightened

TEE WASHINGTON CONVENTION There is no
longer question as to which States will be req
resented here In the Convention to meet on Monday
next; but rather as TO which States protesting to
remain in the Union, will not be 80 represented
Our columns elsewhere to-day contain the names
Of the delegations from two or three more States,
that have reached us since the last issue of the
Star. We are gratined beyond expression at
being able to state that every delegation so far
chosen, whetherfrom South or North, is eminently
conservative; neither Of them embracing more
than one man, each, regarded as being an ultraist
uPon the question Of the times. II is no longer to
be doubted that nearly all the Northern States as
well as Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri will
be represented by men bent on efecting settle
ment that will keep the slaveholding States not
protesting to have already revoluton,ed, faithful
70 their allegiance to the Union Of their fathers.
We See in the composition Of the Convention
entirely satisfactory evidence that ere Il separates
IL viii recommend some plan Of settlement, by
vote Of three-fOurths Of all its componens, from
The North rs well a. from the South. We are
now very sure, too, that Congress will promptly
accede to whatever IL recommends. And we
further forsee that upon that settlement the Union

THE South CAROLINA AUTHORITIES AND THE
Hon. WIN. AIKEN-we perceive that Mr.. J. ID.
Aiken, a relative Of the Hon. VIM. Aiken, denies,
through the Charleston Mercury, that Mr.. w.
has been taxed $40 600 In the shape Of a forced
loan, by South Cardinals revolutionary authori-
ties; that gentleman not being In Charleston to
make the denial himself The statement ap-
peared originally In this paper, published simply
as one that was being freely conversed over In
cesson circles here, and for which, in publish
ing IL, we disclamed responsibility for its truth
II this denial be true, and we have no reason to
doubt Its truth, we are glad that Mr.. VIM. Aiken
has so far escaped the inevitable fate, sooner or
later, Of all men possessing property to De taxed,
indirectly and directly, to carry out the purposes
Of such parties as control the revolutionary move
ments in the South. South Cardinals ordinary
State governmental expenses were about $3.50 200
per annum. Already the Legislature at its cur
rent session have made appropriations to meet the
Pecuniary cost of the new state Of things there for
the next year, amounting to an aggregate OF
81 SOC, 600. Though the banks may have loaned
the Government hundreds of thousands, and in
dividuals may have contributed an aggregate OF
perhaps 500, 600, and the " Republic may have
Issued bonds and notes to the amount Of 500 OOO,
all which have been done to meet those appro.
PrIatons, yet property in South Carolina 10 to paw
the piper sooner or later, beyond all question No
argument Is necessary to prove that fact.
In this connection we may mention that we
have noticed that the Charleston lfsrexry vehe-
mcntiy and vituPeratively denies all truthful &C.
counts Of the state Of affairs there-commercial
financial, &C. that are found in the press inimical
to the secession movement; but, being well aware
that 1t is engaged in hiding from the world
knowledge CT what South Cardinals revolution
has already cost her people in sacrifices Of every
conceivable description, as well as the much.
greater sacrifices to be exactei Of them in due
time, we have not thought it worth the necessary
space In which to remind the public that int,
anna, ksss silent; and that when the laws az.
silent, and peaceful industry Is given up by a
community en- DIasss for the pursuits Of war, the
sacrifices and suferings of the people are neces.
