What Shall be Done ?

the President is bound by his oath to execute
the laws. lie can recognize no law, no ordi-
nance. no government or authority in South
Carolina or in any other State, contrary TO the
Constitution OF tie United States, and the laws
and treaties made in pursuance thereof
Congress can only legi-late under the Con
stitution. 1t cannot dissolve the Union. 1t
cannot abrogatc tho Constitution in any part Of
the Union. 1t c.nnot co cooperate in any reyo-
lutionary proceedings.
What shall be- done? Shall tho Federal Gov
eminent make war on the seeding States p
No! Shall the reyolutonsts now domineering
in those States encounter no resistance when
they make war upon the United States? No
What then?
Shall we attempt 10 " reconstruct the I'm
ION? Let no man entertain such thought
who would not he a traitor to liberty. No
change of the Constitution Tor the sake Of con-
ciiatlug and buying back the men who are in
arms against the Union, should be thought Of
for moment. No change Of the Constitution
that shall give new advantages or new sanctions
10 Slavery, should be considered.
What shall we do then? Accept the fact
that is becoming more manifest every hour
The problem OF the perpetulty Of Slavery is
coming 10 its solution. We have long feared
an instruction Of the slaves. We now see an
instruction of the masters God. who controls
the destiny Of nations, is opening new chap
ter in the history Of the world wickedness-
He has permitted the apostacy OF Southern
Christianity and the in endiary sophlstry of
Southern politics to work out their results
lie has permitted that revolutionary frenzy to
sweep over 50 many States. Qlos rut pedere
dementat. IL is for US to accept the fact Those
States must he permitted 20 work out their own
destruction under that retrihutiye Providence
which Is ordering their dreadful destiny
What shall be done then Let them alone.
Let them 60 Whatever may be the process by
which their separation fr,u The Union can be
most efcctually and peacefully legaized, let
that process be adopted. let The boundaries
between them and the United atcs be defined
by negotiation and peaceful agreement, if pss-
sible and then let their destiny and ours b.
developed dPRdem.

What we Want

We want honest men we want statesmen i'll
place Of demagogues We want careful guar.
dams of Nations welfare careful watchers
of our liberties instead of politicians; We
want bold, resolutc men, men to meet the cr-
sis, men to stay the tide Of disruption and tur
moil now sweeping over our Republican land I;
we want power to say, "no further shalt
thou go !" we want President OF these United
States WHO trusts in the oyer.ruing Proyi-
dence of God, and under whose all-drccting
power he will bring tins Nation from distrac-
ton and Generalization, to peace, prosperity
and power we want the men for the times

ship, and inspire the confidence of q free pco-
pie and give the lie to those who are croakng
over the downfall Of our Government we
want prompt action, noble.hearted spirits,
which, like the Fathers OF &c, seemed to spring
unexpected from the plow, the anvil, the town
and the city, to lay down their lives, property
and honor for their Country want action in

dishonor; we want true patriotism, energy and
courage, we want the shade, of Webster. Of
Clay, of jackson, of Jefferson, and of Wash

Shall We have it?

The Subcommittee of the compromise Con-
vention at Washington have adopted Mr.. Guth-
rles plan o. settlement which in. substance
provides that all the territory OF the Uuited
states shall be divided by d line from east TO
west on the parallel Of SO degrees 80 minutes
north latitude; and IN all territory north of
that line involuntary scrSituc, except as pun
ishmcnt for crime, prohibited while 1t shall be-
long TO the United Stat or be under Terri
turml Government and ia all territory south
oil SAID line involuntary seryliude recognised as
Il cTlstS IN Tie S0Ufien States Of he I mon
while such territory shall belong to The United
States or be under the Territorial Government
and neither Congress nor the Territorial Gov
eminent shall have power to hinder or prevent
emlgrants to said territory from taking with
them persons held TO labor or Involuntary SER
vtudc, according to the laws aud usages of the
State from which such persons may be taken,
nor to impair the right arising out of such re-.
lation, and be subject to judicial cognlzancc.
Ii also proyid that states formed from the
territory, either North or South of the proposed
line, shall be admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States with or
without involuntary serylude or labor, as
their constitutions may provide. Also that
Congress shall not have the power to establish
Slavery in any State or in the District of Coll
umbm without the consent Of Maryland and
Virginia. Tho African slave trade is forever
prohibited and the paragraph of the fourth
article of the Constitution Is not to be construed
to prevent any of the States from the enforce.
ment of the Fugitive Slave Law. Lastly no
territory shall be- hcnceforth acquired without
the consent of tarce.iourths OF the Senate.
This plan amounts simply to total surrender
of the principles of Rcpubicanism, and would
deiile the National Constitution with Pro Slavery
clauses, that would act as perpetual ob,,e,,,s -
the progress OF Freedom. 1t comedies nothing
to the North and everything to the South
Away with such compromises If the Consti-
tuition is to be amended at all it must be IN
widely different direction from thm. The only
change that the Constitution needs ia to make
it still more Anti.Slavery than it is at present.
The North will accept no other alteration

ing the Tact of a want of concert of action in
the several States. South Carolina has gone off
in one direction, and is already quarreling with
the other States, while il she has definite plans,
she either lacks courage or force to carry them
out. Georgia, Florida and Alabama seem to
be in the same condition, while the submission
they exhibit in allowing Forts to be reinforced
shows that, in our opinion, the Government
has now but to encrgetically enforce tho laws,
to forever root up this germ of disunion. The
South manifests lack of back bone at this
time, and want of confidence in its own
strength, But a few days remain to the 4th of
March, and by perusal of Mr.. Lincoln $
speeches, it will be seen that he has not alto
gether given up the Union. He may have a
plan of operations, probably has, which his
judgment tells him better than to reveal until
he is in place to act. We hope no has a
successful plan in mind, and we hope he has
the iirmuess and energy to carry it out. We
shall see.

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
systen from its destructive consequences.
Hence il should lie employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIEE
and SKIN DISEASES, So. AETHoNY's FIRE,

EASES. DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VTTIA-
TED Or IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in - impurftyot' the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible In
contaminated constitutions.
