SpR1NarIELD. Ill, Dec. 90

To-day's journal has a startling leader on
secession, which, from the peculiar relations
of the paper to the President elect, has great
significance.
1t says that South Carolina cannot dissolve
the Union by the simple passage of resolu-
tions or other passive demonstrations. Her
federal officers may resign, and she may close
her courts and post offices, but she cannot
get out of this Union until she conquers this
government. While this government endures
there can be no disunion.
If South Carolina does not obstruct the
collection of the revenues at her ports, nor
violate other federal laws there will be no
trouble and she will not be out of the Union.
If she violates the law, then comes the tug Of
war.
The President Of the United States, in
such an emergency, has plain duty to per-
form Mr.. Buchanan may shirk it, or the
emergency may not exist during his admins
tration. If not, the Union will last through
his term of office.
If the overt act of South Carolina takes
place on and after the 4th of March, 1861,
then the duty of executing the laws will de-
yolve on Mr.. Lincoln.
The laws of the United States must be
executed. The President has no discretion
AIRY power on the subject. His duty is em-
phatcalIy pronounced in the Constitution.
Mr.. Lincoln ,oW perform that daty.
Disanion By armed force is treason, and
treason must and to'R be PIT do'cn al all hazards.

As some three thousand Of our citizens intend
turning out soldiers today, and all the rest Of
the town intends turning out to see them there is
little need now of any particular programme of the
doings OF the day. The suspension of business will
be general the public turnout universal, and the
military display splendid beyond anything yet seen
here.
Canal street will be the center Of attraction in
the morning, and the Creole Race Course will be
the grand of life and excitement the rest of
the day.
The flag presentations to the Crescent Rifles and
the Orleans Cadets will be the earliest incidents of
the day, and the flag presentation to the Washing
ton Artillery will be OF the scenes at the Race
Course.
Speaking of flags, Mayor Monroe yesterday re-
ceved a gigantic and beautiful flag of Louisiana
made to order for the city by Mr.. Cassiday. It
will receive its first airing at the ball of the Con
| tinental Guards Tonight And, speaking OF
| balls this will be one Of tie balls.

As mauy persons seem to think that some sort of
Official sanction or proclamation should issue as to
this iilumnation and rs yesterday numerous per-
sons called upon Mayor Monroe to inquire about it,
the Mayor, not having thought it worth while to
issue proclamation, authorized us last night to
state that he heartily sanctions and recommends
the illumination and that he would have Issued
his proclamation had he thought it called for, CT in
the least necessary. As the Common Council fixed
the day, we think the Mayor ought to have issued

young and decently dressed man giving his
name as Alexander Rudd, arrested yesterday
at II o'clock, charged by James O'Donohue with
having attempted to rob the contribution box in
st. Patricks Church. He was found in the church
and attempted to take refuge behind the altar. He
came very near being lynched by the Infatuated
crowd of Irishmen who first had him in custody,
and had to be protected by the police when they
took charge of him. He certainly must have been
hard up, to invade church and attempt to rob s.
contribution box.
