following paragraph:

THE CABINET AND FOREIGN PowBRs.


There are anxious, if not distracted, ooun-
ellis in the Cabinet. The attitude Of foreign
powers is regarded with apprehension; but
SO thoroughly determined is the Northern
spirit in prosecuting this war. that I sim
cerely believe the men and money Of the
States would be expended to the last to re-
sist intervention by force. It is, however,
not the less certain that the President and
his}Cabinet are not iRdisposed to Q pesceful
arbitration; and, from what hear, it is
not unlikely that at this moment the pro-
priety of accepting or asking for the inter-
vention of great European potentate may
be under consideration. The condition Of
such a settlement will be difficult; but,
meantime, success in wsrike operations
will give the North q broader basis and q
more commanding attitude. All the world
sighs for such peace as may secure con-
tinuance of friendly relations and prosper
ity to both sections. May it come-quod
| fsla1 faust unique SIT. But, come as it may,
or how it may, the arbitrament can never
reunite the fragments Of the shattered mir
ror in which the goddess of American lib
erty loved to survey her charms. A stand
ing army, the suspension of the hobeas cor
pus, the infringement Of the liberty Of the
press, confscations and prosorisptions-
these stand between and break the shining
! surface.

principle aud goes about it with The same stcadl-
ness that he does any other duty. The beet and

their earuestness and fixed purpose in prosecuting
this war. we also believe there is an endurance
and courage in the men we make soldiers against
which she will throw herself, as the sea
dashes against the everlasting rocks, in vain. Ii
is right we should take this encouragement from
the thorough bravery displayed by our men at
Bull Run; it is simple justice to make this
acknowledgment to the men themselves.
The rebels, we believe, know this as well rs
we dc. and therefore they keep behind intrench-
meuts; for there alone, as ut Great Bethel, at
Vienna, and at Bull Run, have they met with
the least SUCCESS Elsewhere as at Carthage
and Rich Mountain, their defeat has been COM

by inferior forces. They know it 30 well that

that they may thereby throw their opponents oil

TIE SOUTHERN MODE OK WARFARE.

The prime object in oil warfare is to get the

R,GxzT OF SECESSION.

"ls there any Constitutional hlsht oi oec'SSlou
we are asked for the huudredlh time We answer
No-a thousand times, No. There is no more
RIGHT of state TO seccde from the Union, than
TO establish an absolute monarchy and make
Mormonism the exclusive religion.
Hamilton in 1757-8, when the assent OF this
State to the Constitution was very doubtful,
wrote TO ask Madison if she might not stpulate
for right to withdraw from the Union Maoi'
son percmp;orily rejected the idea The non'
he Justly responded, was to be PsPaaH
Union, ard no right Of withdrawal or secession
could be recognized.
This has been said a thousand times since by Jack
son, Webster, Clay. and every body else that
ever had any National reputation, except perhaps,
John c. Calhoun. Ia was declared all over The
South during the Embargo and during the War
Of 1912, when it WIS charged that the New
England Federalists wanted to break up the
Union. Nobody ever denied or doubted 1t but
those who could not otherwise convince even
themselves that they were got traitors.
Wei, then, what sort of Right Of Secession is
there, or can there be-
We ansWer-Just this:
Suppose q stakeholder in Bank or Railroad
were to enter the office one morning and say,
Z" pronounce you all pack OF knaves and
" swindlers and dissolve my connection with the
concern. Here" reaching over for the cash
box and emptying the contents into his valise,
{" is my share Of the assets, which / shall take
home with me. Good morning"
That is precisely Secession, and the Right TO
do it is the Right of Secession.
Now, il is not impossible that case might be
found or imagined wherein such conduc. might
have q sort of justification. If the managers Of
the Bank were all swindlers and thieves, it might
be that he could do no better than just that, aud
o sort of wild justice be thus obtained But this
il not Law nor Peace-it is Violence and War.
If the States that hate the Union, mean to de-
strOy the Union, were resolved to make War on
the Union had been willing to depart peacesbly,
and TO arrange quietly and decently the terms Of
separation we alone among the people of the
Free States expressed a willingness to let them
90. But they would not go in this way-in fact,
could not get their own people to hate the Union
without fighting it. They set Themselves to steal
ing the forts, arsenas, armOries, minis, public
lands, cusOm-hOuses, &c, that were the unds-
puted property of the Nation From that hour it
has never been possible to let them 60 peaceably
without National NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The name of American will rank below that of
Mexican should we now succumb to the traitors.
So much for the Right of Secession. II ia the
substance Of all we have ever said upon it.
Need we repeat it, If you ever hear sympa.
tbizers with treason say that THE TRIBUNE once
favored Secession, just cut this out and keep it
to read to them.

One Of our City journals sees lit still to say that
tho traitors would have compromised last Winter.
Some who are now with them would; but tue ieAa-
ers and master-spirts would not. They were r'aoy
to compromise only as they were in the Chaf'V,o.
Democratic Convention, where they took eAeeHe"'
care not to have their own way.
But when it is said they would compromise "ha'
is intended is just this-He oia stay longer :" 80

Der of men, and no doubt quite so as to their
character as before. The generalization SO far
as it existed at all, seems TO have been confined
to the three months troops whose term of SER
vice was about to expire. The strongest conf

there are more capable than ever of resisting on
attack from behind their intrenchments, and
quite ready to meet the enemy in the field if
he should be rash enough to offer battle This

danger Of al attack upon the capital

Thus the increased production in the Free
States was about IS per cent while in the Slave
States it was only about 80 per cent. The
greatest corr-prOducng State in 1910 was Ten
nessec, whose crop was 1926, l55 bushels. La
1850 it was but little over 80 900, 600. In the
same period Indiana and Illinois had risen from
80, 095 10 lI06ll,3 l7 bushels. Iowa had In
creased her yield nearly 500 per cent Wisconsin
as much, while New-Jersey, Ohio, Vermont, aud
Maine nearly doubled theirs. In Michigan tho
increase was more than double. In only two Of
the Slave States, Missouri and Arkansas, was
the production doubled. Virginia made poorer
relative progress, than any other State. These
figures show that the great corn empire of this
country is to be il the West. Nearly one-sIth
of the Ohio crop is converted into whisky
While congratulating ourselves on the euor-
nous annual increase in the number OF bushels
it must be admitted that this increase is not the
result of improved cultivation, but is owing 10
the additional quantity of new land brought every
year into tlllage. Take the great corn-yleidihg
State of Ohio as an example. In 1859 ONO
had 22O5,9 S2 acres in corn, producing
81, So, i3i bushels, an average of 397 per acre,
In 1859 the quantity in corn was 2,43l,3l2
acres, producing GS, 730,si6 bushels, an average
of only 29.5. For ten years the average !Ield
has been steadily declining; in two only, witbin
that period rising above the yield of 1850, IL
then stood at 36.s per acre. and in 1889 at g9.5.
The crop of 1860 is estimated at 9O,OO'WV
busbels One-tenth of the entire State is devoted
10 corn.
