that, instead Of convicting her we must ask fez
our own pardon. We do not remember mor9
curious complication Of matters in all histcry.
OF course, we do not blame Mr.. Peabody for
looking at these affairs from bankers point OF
view. But there s another point from which
the moral and conscientious people OF the North
will insist upon considering them. Cash is good
and 80 is commercial prosperity and so are stocks
But even in the creed Of an enlightened banker:
these are not all. All the pounds sterling in the
United Kingdom would not buy Mr.. Peabody to
DO dishonest or dishOnorable thing and hs
NAV rest assured that neither stocks at par oe
premium will seduce, nor stocks at discount,
brighten the Free States into one-sided conces-
son or needless humiliations. Money viii buy
much and do much; but among those things
which it cannot buy is the human mind, aud
among those things which it canno. do is tho
construction of Government upon fundamental
political errors.
The credit of the Northern States has not been
established upon the Union, but upon their wealth,
and industry, and fertility. In the Union or Gus
of it, these qualities will remain to us. Out OF
the Union, We shall neither fold our hands, nor
yet waste our resources in the needless and i'm.
probable war which Mr.. Peabody anticipates.
New England will be New-England still. New
York will not, by one inch of SOIL by one dollar
of capital, by one intelligent aud creative mind,
be less than she now is. No complication OF
politics can permanently blight the great grsia
fields of the West. Far from US be the thought
of treason triumphant Still further from US b

great In proof of this we might quote from Q
number o. leading journals in that State, but we
limit ourselves 10 two the others are in the
same spirit. Tie y..'eksOn Mississippian asserts
''the right of the peopist' to decide whether or
IS not they will live uodsr the Constitution which

The Tidksburg Baig contends that the per-
s. manent [seceding1 Government must bs SUD-
united to the popular viii, and woe be TO the
90 man who stands between the people and this
rs inalienable right"
In Louisiana, where. IA our READERS have
learned from our columus, Secession succeeded
only by suppres'ing the election returns, and
where no doubt there is positive Union ma
iority, the dissatisfaction finds loud and frequent
expression. We confine ourselves to single
quotation from TIE n. o. True Delta:

We might extend the eyidences Of dissati5fac-
ton in the seeded States, and Of the impending
outburst Of popular indignation there, almost
indefinitely The quotations We have gi7en, it
will be observed, are from original Secession, as
well as from Union sources, and therefore can
not be regarded as partial or partisan. We may
safely conclude that much more remains I'M
spoken that will find expression sooner or later.
The JEFF, Davis dynasty is clearly usurpat'on,
denounced as such not only by many who have
favored the change and all who opposed it, but
confessed by the usurpers themselves in their re-
fusaI to submit the question to the people,
between whom and their new rulers there has
thus arisen an irrepressible conflict" All the
different elements of opposition must very soon
become consolidated into the party of the Union
