To What Does the Southern COnfederncy
Amount

An article in the Baltimore Clipper says:
Cast aside for moment sll this fre-eating
gasconade and Santa Anna-like pomposity Of
utterance, and to what does the Southern
Confederacy amount2 How does it secure
for the people of the Southern States one
single right for which they contended, or
avoid one particle of the dangers by which
it is alleged they were menaced2 It will
procure for them the recognition of none Of
the rights they claim in the territories Of the
United States. II viii give TO them no great
er assurance of the prompt and unobstructed
rendition of fugitive slaves, than was obeyed
within the Union and under the Constitution
as it stood. It will bring to them no more
security from interference with the institu-
ton of slavery in their midst than they have
heretofore enjoyed. It will accomplish not
one single ens of the purposes for which the
secession movement was ostensibly began. 1t
win afford none of the new guarantees,
without which the secessionists declare we
must abandon the Union our fathers made,
DESTROY the sacred temples they erected, and
| suread desolation over the land, whose pow
er. progress and prosperity were terdlized by
their blood.
The arguments of these disunionists are
unrest faliacy They say to Us 'if the North
will not give US new guarantees, We must
abandon the old ones; if the North viii not
accord to US the right to carry slavery into
the territories where the laws Of climate pro
duction forbade its profitable employment
We must resign all the rights there we now
eniov; if the North will not enforce for Us
the fugitive slave law which twas the duty
OF the federal administration (for eight years
past in the hands of the democracy to en-
force, we must throw away the constitutional
guaranty we now have, and make the matter
infinitely worse by bringing the Canada line
down to the borders Of the slave States,
and offering premium for the slaves OF
the border States to escape into a for
eign country, from which there will be no
shadow of prospect Of their recovery" Fine
4 arguments lrulyl Most excellent reasons
wfv we Of the South should cut of our own
noses for spite against our brothersl

The following choice paragraphs are from
the Washington correspondence Of the New
Orleans Crescent;
There have been no new Developments
The drift of the Gorilla policy has not mani
tested itself in action. No practical coercion
step has been taken. "0rders in council
are being prepared, no doubt, but they are
kept secret. The first blow struck by the
Coercive-Kangaroo powers will be in secret.
The first stab at the Southern Confederacy
will be in the dqrk.
In lieu of deeds, we have CAB, endless CAB.
Each day of the week is set apart by the del
egations from the triumphant States for pay
ing obsequious civilities to the various and
sundry animals freshly Gagged in the Federal
menagerie Early in the morning, some hO-
tel v9mits dark stream of human forms,
containing the souls Of insects. Now, Viii
lards gapes its great jaws and lets out athou-
sand pismires from New York; now the Av-
enue House heaves up a couple of hundred
ascarides from Indiana. These wind their
way TO the White Den of the Imperial Go
riIla thence to the burrow of the pre-emi-
nent weavel, Seward; thence to the coop of
the plumed peacock and bustard-of-war,
Scott; thence to the kennel of the incompar
able hound, Andy johnson; and so on, around
the entire ring OF royal beasts, princely non.
descrips, and martial birds of prey. --H-
In reference to the vermicular obeisance
made to the kingly quadrupeds and fowls,
there is one note with many variations. All
tie poten ates and powder-thorned big-bugs
make it their business to congratulate the
worms of the dust thai they a bqUe GOUeTn-
ment." This is the burden Of every thr, at,
from the shrek of the king gorilla down to
| the foul howl of the hound. Would to heav-
