1t appears that the citizens Of Men,
phis arc moving in tho work Of rebellion
in a very positive and effective hammer.
They are about to take possession of the
Mississippi, by erecting . battery there
which 10 to command the river. This is .
tender point in the controversy. 1t sets
the people Of the great North-We s
thinking. 1t is similar to having n per-
son clap his hand on your wind-pipe-a
very unpleasant performance when pre-.
sisted IN to any considerable extent.
It is another Of those steps which speak
out in strong language. There is no
treason or rebellion in erecting that bat
terry there-any body has . right to do
so, but it looks at though there wa
an idea Of using them, if circumstances
should require it. 1t furnishes another
proof Of our oft repeated declaration
compromise or fgLt. How do the peo-
pie Of this section Of the Union look
upon this act. Do they understand
what it means? The principal object, We
conceive. is not 70 much 10 prevent the
usual commerce - to command the
river in case il should be deemed neces-
cary to send coercion troops into the
South BY the way Of the Mississippi.
The battery already erected would be
sufficient to sink, with one firing, any
steamboat which eve plowed the cur
rent Of this river.

The Gazette don't like the majority
report Of the Committee Of SO. Well,
neighbor, what are you going to do about
itt Do you propose to read out Of the
party all those Republicans who have
placed their m to it! You could
not be so cruel. The handwriting is up
on the vail, and it is there for the spec
ial purpose Of warning the people that
the Republican party, when placed in
the balance with the Union is most
wretchedly wanting in weight.

RULING Passion STRONG IN DEATH.
Our worthy neighbor still refuses to
look at compromise. Though he reads
how inevitable compromise or disunion
is, he stubbornly places his hand on the
latter horn of the dilemma, aud blindly
pushes on. "Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" and our
neighbor is very far from being pleased.

In . long and ably written article on

the London Times thus expresses itself
upon the question Of coercion :
Mr.. Buchanan was right in thinking,
If not saying, that it is impossible to co
cree a seeding State, because American
institutions involve no provision for the
government Of . conquered province.
The pride Of belonging to q great nation
the habit OF Union, aud the convenience
Of unrestricted intercourse. will probably
induce the elavc States to devise some
attainable compromise, if only time is
given tor negotiation and reflection. The
feelings, and perhaps the interest OF Eng
land, are on the side of continued
union.

The GOVERNMENT WILL BE SUSTAINED
The indications throughout the North are
that the people intend to sustaia the gov
ernment in the position they have taken
for maintaining the integrity of the Union.
Whatever difference may have originally
existed. it is nov the manifest duty of every
citizen to do all he can to maintain the
honor Of his country. Its flag is our flag.
and by it the people will stand so long as
a state of war exists. and till an honorable
peace can be procured. The way to bring
peace soonest, and prevent the unnecessary
shedding of blood, is TO uphold the hands
Of the Government, and make the contest
as short as possible. We have strong
hopes that these imposing demonstrations
of the Northern people will of themselves
do much toward bringing about a speedy
adjustment of our national differences

Springfield, ILL.,, April Ex-senator
Douglas addressed both houses in Repre-
ssntatives' Hall tonight and was ehthusi-
astically received. He said :
A war of determination and oppression
is new being waged against the Govern
ment. Walker boasts ahat OH the lst Of
May the Confederate flag will wave from
the dome of the Capitol, and on the 4tb OF
July the Confederate army will occupy
independence Hall. Already their pratt
cal flag is unfurled against our commerce
and the navigation of the Mississippi is
obstructed, aud we are required to pay
tribute at its mouth. The question is,
shall we allow this to proceed or meet the
oppression He said there was no cause
for this rebellion that no evidence had
been presented that their institutions were
insecure that the fugitive slave laws were
never executed with more firmness than
recently at Chicago. Are we to inaugur-
ale the Mexican system in the United
States. Had the candidate of the Disun-
ionists been elected and the Republicans
of the North rebelled, l would have used
my best efforts to crush then. The first
duty Of American citizens is obedience to
courts and laws. In my opinion it is your
duty to lay aside all pa ty creeds and plat
forms until you have rescued the country
from her assailants. If the attempt is
made TO incite servile insurrecton among
them, | would be the first to rush to the
rescue, yet they must distinctly understand
that | will never acquiescs in their inya-
sion of our Constitutional rights.
1t is crime against Constitutional free
dom to attempt to pluck the United States
out Of the map of chistendom. lie ap-
pealed to men of all parties not 10 allow
passion to get the better Of their judg
ment, and not TO attempt to manufacture
partizan capital ont of miselics and strug-
giles of their country. To Democats he
would say. don't allow party considerations
to make yoE traitors. The most stupend
Gus and unanimous preparations for War
is tho shortest way to peace the greater
the unanamily, the least blood will be shed.
Every friend of Liberty must feel that this
cause is his own. The seeded States have
proceeded to obslIuct our inalienable
right of nav igalion of the Mississippi. The
people the valley of the Mississippi can
rever consent to be excluded free access to
the Gulf of Mexico. L will never cease to
urge my countrymen TO take up arms and
fight to the death in defence of these rights.
1t is war of self-defence. believe it a
duty we owe to ourselves, orr children
and to our God. TO protect and sustain our
Government and flag from every assail
ant.
He was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause.
Mr. Douglas remains here about one
week, and then goes TO Chicago.

The First Fight

Many Of our citizens are speculating as
to the probable result OF the first fight In
the war of sections Admitting equal
numbers on both sides, we think the result
cannot be doubtful The first conflict will
evidently come off in Maryland or Virginia,
and moments calculation Of the charac.
Ter of the forces to be engaged will dissi-
pate all apprehension. The States of Vir-
ginia and Maryland may have brave men.
bat they have but few trained volunteers
and no regulars. Any considerably army
from those States would necessa. ialiy be
composed in greater part of raw militia,
without organization or rdiScipline--On the
oher hand, the Government of the Union
will be surrounded with men equally brave,
a large number of whom will be regulars,
and still larger number of them well
drilled and sp!endidly equipped volunteers.
That Militia of Virginia and May and.
and few volunteer companies, can con-
tend on equal terms with such men as will
form our first army, we do not believe for
a moment.--Such splendid regiments as
the SEVENTH Of New York would always
be equal TO twice their number of undis
ciplined troops. We have therefore no
fears Of the result of the first battle. We
are in as little doubt as To the result of the
last battle We have ever believed, and
believe still, that we can and will defeat
them. We ought to whip them, and can
do it. Our numbers are as two To one
our money is as two TO one, and the sea is
under our complete control. The only
question for us to decide is as TO how long
and how nplacably We shall use the power
which we undoubtedly possess, by our
numbers, our money and our courage.
This will be the question after our pride
and honor have been fully satisfied CAi-
cogo Times.
