"ARTIFICIAL CRISIS"
This crisis is shown to be artificial by these
facts:
J., The compromise line of 36o 3V (which
admitted the introduction Of slavery south Of
that line) was repealed by means Of Southern
votes, on the condition expressed in the repeal.
ing act, that LEFT the slavery question to the
people Of Territory, "the same as in State"
lSee the Presidents inaugural, on the "happy
thoughts"
2. While the friends of the South have held
the power Of Government (which has been for
many years,) no motion has ever been made
to protect slavery by act Of Congress, except
that by Senator Brown Of Mississippi, which
they themselves rejected.
3. In CO coordinate branch Of the Govern.
ment, the Supreme Court, the South have
majority Of friends, and its decisions have al
ready been made to the extent Of all that they
require. '... .u..
4. In their own councils, for the Presidential
election, the South made sectional nomina-
ton Of Mr. Brecknridge, in opposition to
national nomination of Mr.. Douglas, and now
complain that sectional nomination Of Mr.
Lincoln, by the North and West, has prevailed
with the peoplel That drtifce, to create the
present crisis" was charged against them
during the canvass and is now proved
8. The real ground Of complaint by the
South may be attributed to the apparent prev
alence'of anti slavery sentiments in the North,
which had given countenance to abolition ser.
mons and lectures, and to some of the acts Of
State Legislatures alleged to be for the pro.
lection Of " personal liberty" 1t must now, in
candor, be acknowledged, that such sermons
and lectures are now discountenanced; and
that the "personal liberty" acts, SO far as they
interfere with the "rendition of fugitive slaves "
are about being repealed. The most important
consideration for the patriots Of the South (all
who desire to preserve the Union) is, that there
is an epident reaction in public sentiment at the
North, looking to the future safety of Southern
rights.
This consideration is more important than
can be any from compromises or propositions
of Peace Convention, or Of Congress.
But the "crisis" is proved to have been arti.
fetal before and independent of this evident
reaction, and without any pretence Of cause
from any Legislative or Executive proceeding
of this Government.

SECESSION AN ABsURDITY

TITS Perjury, Treason, and War; to which are

~ The New York Herald has long and
abusive article upon the Presidents inaugural,
of which the accuracy may be judged by the
following extract:
"Nr. Corwin's amendment to the Constitu.
ton il referred to by Mr.. Lincoln, as though he
had not read it and, at the time he spoke, he
was unaware 1t had passed the Senate"
The Presidents language was as follows:
II understand proposed amendment to the
Constitution, which amendment, however, have
not seen, has passed Congress, to the effect that
the Federal Government shall never interfere
with the domestic institutions of the States, in
cluding that OF persons held to service"

COLLECTING THE REVENUE.

In announcing his purpose to collect the
revenue at all the ports Of the country, Mr..
Lincoln is only acting upon the views an.
nounced by Mr.. Buchanan, and which induced
him to make the nomination, weeks ago, upon
which the Senate did not act, of collector for
the port of Charleston. The President has no
dispensing power in respect to the laws and
until separation Of the States is agreed upon
by competent authority, ordinances of seces.
sion must be treated by him as mere nullities.
No other conclusion can be arrived at, except
by those who hold to the right of secession, as
existing absolutely in each State, and the mum.
Der of such is happily very small.
1t is obvious, that the question of how the
present secession should be treated by Con.
gress, by a National Convention, or by the
people acting in any other mode, is a very dif.
ferent question from that of its proper mode
OF treatment by the President, who has no dis.
cretion as to the execution Of the laws.
Considering the purposes for which this Gov.
eminent was framed, and which it actually &C
complishes, being principally connected with
the relations of tho country with foreign Pow
ers and its security against foreign invasion
there can be no hardship in requiring the SO
ceded States to contribute to the public reve
nue.. They may, if they will, regard them
selves as out Of the Union; but it is the power
of the Union at this moment which gives them
that security from foreign attack which they
enjoy. 1t is for their benefit, as much as fol
the benefit of any of the States, that the amy
and navy Of the United States are now main
tanned. And if they contribute toward the cos,
Of these establishments, they receive an ample
compensation for it.

ed from Savannah, that it has been decided
there that all goods entered to be carried by
railroad to Tennessee, must pay duties to the
Southern Confederacy. 1t is doubtful il such
decision will be adhered to, as it will simply
prevent any goods being sent to Tennessee by
the way of Savannah. A similar decision, at
first made at New Orleans in respect to goods
for the non-seceding States on the Mississippi,
has been given up, and in respect to goods in
tended for that destination it is now only re.
quired that bonds shall be given that they shall
be carried to their destination, and not be con.

THE QUESTION NOW AT ISSUE.

The question now at issue between the North
and South is no longer that Of the protection Of
slavery in the Territories, or of interference
with that institution in the States but simply
whether the people shall decide for themselves
the principles by which they shall be governed,
or whether they shall be decided by the politi.
clans for them.
According to the theory Of Mason, Hunter,
Green, Wise, & Co., and the practice Of JEFF.
Davis, Toombs, Kett, Wigfall, and others Of
the Southern secessionists, the people are unfit
for selfgovernment, and they generously desire
to relieve them of its responsibilities while
the President, having faith in their intelligence,
patriotism, and devotion to the Union, favors
the submission Of all the questions which now
distract the country to the people, believing
that their direct action thereon will be the
means Of producing harmony and peace.
