The Great Emergency.

There now appear to be but two
courses open for the adoption Of the
administration in the present emer-
gency--one is to let this glorious
Union dissolve without an effort for
its preservation, and the other is to
maintain it by protecting the govern
ment property and enforcing the laws
with all the power of the Federal Gov
eminent. Briefly, the alternative is
submission or coeroion. The one will re.
suit in the dsmcmbcrmcnt of this
confederacy, and that will ineritably
be followed by q bloody war. The
other may provoke a contest, but it
will be comparatively bloodlcss. In
the former case, the war between two
great divisions Of this confcdcracy
would be one of determination. But
if we wisely adopt the other alterna-
tive, the power of the seeding States
to resist the Federal Government is
limited. Coercion might be confined
to the enforcement of the revenue
laws and the recovery of the govern
mcnt property. Doubtless this would
be resisted, but when the madness o.
the hour abatcd, and returning reason
resumed its sway, a strong Union par
~ would spring up, which would in
sist that the letters be removed from
trade and industry, and that the sc.
ccding States shall return to their al
lcgiancc.
There is one fact which VIC may a.
wei! recognize now, and act accord
ingly. No compromise which Con
gress may adopt will keep the cottor
States from going ont of the Union
at least SO far as they can absolvt
themselves from its obligations. They
are lured on by the ignus fatuus o.
commercial greatness, and Northern
aggrcssions arc but the prctcxt fol
secession. But because they will be
satisfied with no compromise, we arc
not called upon to let them so. Sucl
a course would only defer for tint
a contest which must come sooner OF
later. Besides, if the cotton States
are allowed to go out without an at
tempt to maintain the integrity of tn,
Union, the contagion will spread ant
other slave States will follow. They
arc ready to try the experiment o
separation from the North if they car
do it pcaccably, but not otherwise. Il
is the weakness and imbccility of the
administration which has spread the
secession fever through Virginia, Ten
ncssec, Kentucky and even in Mary
land and Missouri. A vigorous ad
ministration Of the government, ant
the exhibition Of G settled purpose t.
maintain the Union Mt all hazard
would soon check the epidemic, ant
give time for reason to resume it
sway. Such an administration w
shall undoubtedly have when Lincol
I is inauguratcd, but the task whic
will dcvolve upon the incoming admin
istration will be nccdIcssly compiled
