Co. OPERATION UNooNsTITUTIoNAL.-H
ing shown that cooperation in the Union
would be in violation Of the Constitution, the
N. o. Crescent makes the following f,rcible
and appropriate remarks as to the object and
purposes Of the submissionists calling them
selves co-operationists:
But it is useless to disguise the fact that this
project of "co operation" is but another name
for compromise-for submission. That is
what it means, and it is not worth while to
call it by any other name. Those who favor
"co-operation"-not all Of them perhaps
have hopes that it will result in demand for
guarantees which will be granted They
think that what is called the conservative
sentiment" of the border States will bear
down the other Southern States that are de-
termined to have their plain political rights
and liberties They believe if the Gulf States
can be entrapped into conference they will
feel themselves bound in honor to abide the
result, and the result will be submission. 1t
is scheme to drag on the Gulf States into a
conventicle where they will be overslaughed
by the numerical powers of the others, and
forced to acquiesce in their decision. That is
what it means, and nothing else.

No Hope.

In view of the defiant and arrogant tone Of
the Black Republican organs and leaders in
Congress, the New York News which has
hitherto expressed great degree ofconfdence
in the restoration of harmony between the two
sections-abandons the hope altogether, de-
claring that nothing can avert the impending
catastrophe of the disbandment ofthe Republic
but the interposition of a 'higher power"
In the course of an elaborate article in its
issue of the 18th. the News, says:
The leaders of the Black Republican party
in Congress exhibit the same hardened spirit,
and are apparently determined to drench the
country in blood rather than recede from the
absurd and pernicious political notions adop-
ted as the party platform.
To avoid this fate we cannot count on the
discretion or the returning sense of patriotic
duty of the Republicans, but alone on the in
terposition of a higher Power.

minutes. knew a horse taken with it on
tread wheel to carding machine, so that the
owner thought he could not live. He got the
veterinary surgeons, and they did what they
could, ard all decided that the horse must
die. The mans wife, who believed and prac-
ticed hygiene, from the time the horse was
taken tried to persuade her husband to use a
wet bandage, but he insisted it would do no
good. After all had given up that the horse
could not live, by her entreaties-the doctors
saving it could do no good or hurt-he took
q thick bed comforter, bound it around the
horse, went to the well and drew water, and
poured it on till thoroughly soaked. Itseem-
ed like pot boiling. In less than fifteen
minutes from the time he commenced the
watering process, the horse was up and eating.

knew it could not live. The horse did good

eloquent address of Hon. W. L. Harris, Com
missioner from Mississippi to Georgia, to the
Legislature Of the latter State.

1t will be seen that the sentiment under which
Mississippi has sought the cooperation of
Georgia, is fully reciprocated by that venera-
BILE Commonwealth, and that it has been un-
hesitatingly pledged SO far as her Legislature
i s concerned.

Hon. j. L. ALcoRN.-This gentleman has
been elected to the Convention, from the
county of Coahoma, and is classified by
the Vicksburg Wing as "Co-Operationist," !"
The term ''fco-operatiou'i isreiy vague and
indefinite and can have no practical applica-
ton in contradistinction from immediate State
action, inasmuch as it is net probable that any
member of the Convention will oppose the
cooperation of Mississippi with South Caro-
lima, and such other Southern States as will
certainly have left the Union before the 4th of
March The term was doubtless assumed in
many cases as a cloak for submission-aniOn-
ism but not in this sense can the Wing ap-
ply it to Col. Alcorn, if his sentiments are to
be inferred from the following paragraphs in
a recent publication of hisof Memphis paper,
correcting certain statements which had gone
abroad touching the alleged punishment OF
abolition emissaries in the county of his resi-
dence.

"A fOeman worthy of their STEEL"
E.,oul The Chicnno nen,oc,

FROM the Chicago Democrat.
PEACEABLE SECEssIoN-1here can be no
such thing as peaceahle secession. We are
one Of those who believe that all this talk
about secession is an old trick of the slavery
extensionists, to perpetrate greater wrongs
upon human liberty. We were in the storm
for the admission of California and for the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise, and we see
nothing now more alarming than there then
was. The2North was then disgraced to save
the Union Rule or ruin is the motto of the
South. But granting that the South is in
earnest, the Republican party has its duty
plainly marked out. PeaceaHe secession as
eolCardice on tie part Of the North. 70 is an
archy. Il ,0iR be the commencement of a series
Of aoroRgs tie extent Of loltich no man can pre-
dict Secession must be PIT do,on. II must
be checked tn ftspntaRcy by the stgord and bay
ORet. We have an army and navy. Let both
be brought to bear to preserve the Union of
these States And we want no affiliation
with any party that, with the sword and purse
of this nation in its hands, cannot keep the
Union together.
THE Dg ~ OF THE NORTHERN MEN IN
CoNGREss.--Let them stand firm to their God
given doctrines. They have manfully sub
mitted to the. slave power, and now that they
have got the ascendency they must make the
slave powerSubmit to them to the extent of
the Constitution and the laws. And if State
attempts to secede, the Republican party must
suppress such attempt, or be everlastingly dis
graced. Lincoln must hand over to his sue
cessor the same number of States that he re-
ceived from hiSspredecessOr; and if war comes
of such an attempt, why let it it come War
before dishonor! Can Republican President
do less than General Jackson did ? No! no
WAR BEFORE SEcEssIoN.-We may as well
have civil war before as after secession. Sc
cession is both. civil war and anarchy. We
fear our Republican friends are showing the
white feather" which is only an invitation
foI4southern insolence.
This Union must bepreserved and frmness
is only necessary.
