Since the political complications Of the country
commenced, the transit Of specie has been alto

TO send 1t to us, because our imports fell Of,
while our exports increased; and now that tho

probability is that the imports will yet largely

looked in vain, thus far, for any fat office given

Webb. But he must have something. If We
are to have war the Chevalier might be sent
down with Horace Greeley to relieve or re-

FORT PrcKENs.-It is given out that the
Southern confederacy Commissioners at WASH
ington will demand the evacuation of Fort
Pickens, at Pensacola, and present the alter
native of fight for 1t if not surrendered. It
is believed, however, that Fort Sumter Is a.
much as the administration will give to the
secessiouists, even for the sake of peace, and
that even Sumter would not be given up II
there were any help for it. Accordingly, we
may expect to hear the ominous-sound Of thun-
der from the Florida coast before many weeks
are over; and then-why, then, we shall have
the beginning of the end. The administration
talks peace, but it is drifting to war.

MILITARY MAxris Coon FOR POLITICIANS
The most important man in the country just
row Is General Scott. Old as no il, he has
proved himself the only statesman in Washing
ton. But for him the new administration would
have precipitated the country into the horrors
of civil war, and rushed upon its own de-
struction. He has cooled down Its belligerent
ardor by little soldierly advice.
Military men are often the best guides when
political sagacity is at fault The Duke of
Wellington taught the old routine tory politi-
clans that true craftsmanship consisted as much
in knowing when to yield ~ when to resist
Had be obstinately refused to recognise the
Justice of the Catholic claims he would have
plunged Great Britain into the same troubles
that now menace us.
We trust that the Lincoln administration will
continue to benefit by the lessons of their mill
tary Mentor. His last, conveyed In the form
Of notice to his correspondents, is yelling.
tonian in its brevity and significance, Telling
those who address letters to him that, owing to
his inflrmities and inability to use his pen, ap-
plications for autographs and Offices are
most burdensome to him, he adds that
che has within his own gift but two small
places Qong well flled), and that he recon-
mends no one whatever, other than an old
soldier, nor for any Office whatever out Of
the army" II would Of course be too much
to expect that republican administration
should apply these principles TO all its ap-
pointments. There is, nevertheless, q large
class Of public servants in the government de-
partments whose experience and usefulness
cannot easily be supplied. These persons can
be the Lees dispensed with at time when the
DISCRIMINATION Of the Post ONCE by the So.
cession Of the cotton States, and the adoption
Of q high, and, az regards some Of its provi-
sions, an incomprehensiblo tariff, are likely to
throw the public service into confusion. As
the new administration has been compelled to
call In the old veteran to extricate It from the
embarrassments caused by It's inability to full
al tho pledges Of the Chicago platform, II is
to be hoped that It will continue to benefit by
his advice, and act as far as possible, on the
wise rule that he has laid down In tho choice
Of his subordinates.

WHAT DO THE FREEDOM SHREKERs WASrf-
In 1856 there were thirteen States in this Union,
twelve Of which were slave and one free. In
1861 there are hirty-four States and seven Ter
ritories; nineteen Of these States and six Of the
Territories are free, and two other States which
now recognise slavery-Delaware and Mary
land-will undoubtedly soon be free States
also. In Eve years from now the six Terrific
ries will be ready to come into the Union--if
there be any Union then-as States, under free
labor constitutions, and we shall then have
twenty-seven free States to thirteen slave
States. Yet the freedom shriekers are not sat
isfed with this rapid progress and growth Of
free territory. They are not content with any
thing short of the destruction Of this glorious
country for the sake Of getting hold of the
apoils, over which they are now engaged In
such fierce squabble at Washington.

SAD CONDITION OF THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
There never before was party in such sad
condition as the republican party. There does
not appear to be any possible chance of saving It
from utter humiliation, if we are to believe Its
own followers. When the administration was
inaugurated they cried out that If the govern
ment yielded an inch towards compromise the
party would be ruined; then, when the evacua.
ton of Fort Sumter was talked OF, they cried
out again: If the troops are withdrawn the
party will be ruined. The republicans in the
last Congress passed the Merrill tariff, and the
republican merchants and importers In the
Northern cities, as well as the republican agri-
oulturists Of the West, now declare that unless
the tariff Is repealed by an extra session the
party will be destroyed. Again, Mr.. Seward
announces that no naturalized citizen, espe-
cially no political refugee, shall represent this
government ct any Court In Europe; where
upon the whole Northwest rises up and cries
out that II the missions to France, England,
Austria, Russia, Sardinia, Switzerland and
Prussia are not filed by European refugees,
the republican party Is ruined forever. In

OPENING OF THE BRITISH RED RIVER TERRI
Toar.-It appears by the last news from Eng
land that bill Is in preparation in Parliament
with reference to opening out the territory in
British America lying between the Red river
and the Pacific for colonization. The British
government are thus about to develope fine
Northwestern territory, stretching out to the
Pacific on one side, and to be ultimately
brought into connection with the Atlantic on
the other, by means of the Canada Trunk Rail-
road, the st. Lawrence and every other availa
BILE means of communication. This is o fertile
region and splendid wheat growing country;
80 that the American Northwest will soon have
a rival beside her In the British Northwest and
the former will have to look sharply to her in
terests. The American Northwest, in short
must decide upon what course she Is to pursue
in the present complicated condition Of the
country, which has been brought about by the
fanatical party who are now developing their
policy OF Washington in feroclous scramble
for the spells, which they have won at the cost
Of disunion and the destruction of tho country.
Itmay come to pass that the Northwestern States
will one day find It to their advantage 10 unite
with this newly developed British territory, and
form one grand country for themselves, in
dependent Of the North, East and South. Such
an event was limited at before, both In this
country and in the British Parliament, and such
may yet be the result Of the breaking up of the
Union by the abolition fanatics.

States; but no portion Of territory once organ
izsd into States and admitted into the Jnion,
can eonstitutionally become foreign territory
Congress hes, power 70 admit new States in
10 the Union; but has no powerto expeia
State, or TO permit II to depart from the Union.
II the Constitutions had placed such power In
the hands of Congress or Of any other body'it
would have provided means for the destruction
Of that very Union which 1t was formed to es.
tablish and perfect. The bare statement OF
such superstition Is its own refutation.
Apart from completed revolution and over
throw of our whole system Of Government,
| State and National, no dismemberment Of the
Union can ever take place, except by amend
ment of the Federal Constitution. Amend
ments to that instrument may be proposed in
two modes, but before they can become ineor-
porated into It, they must be ratified BY
three -fourths Of the States through their Legis'
latures or Conventions. There are now thirty.
4 four States In the Union; consequently, nc
| amendment to the Constitution can be valid
1 until 1t receive the assent of twenty-sever
States. It's, therefore, clearly out ofthe Ques
ton. to suppose that, without great and radi
cal change In public opinion equivalent to
revolution, the dismemberment of the UnioI
/. can be effected by amendment to the Conattu
: tion.
But under the Constitution as 1t now stand
la dissolution of the Union ia not possible, unles
J the people become SO generally corrupt, an
disloyal to the Constitution, that it cannot long
or be maintained. Then will come revolution
anarchy. and all the manifold evils that follow
, their train. But We have an unfailing conf
dence that the mass of the people have the vii
' tue and patriotism to maintain the ConstitutiO
in its integrity, and we, therefore, set down tb
Z dismemberment Of the Union, not only as
constitutional, but as moral impossibility.

Triple Tragedy In IlHn0is-A Wan
and mis- Wife and n BOY. Diabolicnl-
~ Murdered.
The Jacksonville (Ill.) Journal says:

The Jacksonville ILL., Journal says:
A most diabolical murder was committed last
Saturday, near Wilmington? Mr.. Wilkinson,
a farmer, living short distance from neigh.
Dor by the name Of Mace, heasd the report Of a
gun in the direction of the latter's house, and
short ly after saw emoke as II the house was on
fire. Together with others who happened TO be
passing BY, he rushed to the spot, to find Mr..
Mace, his wife, and an orphan child who lived
with them, lying dead near the house, and 1t
set on fire., Mr.. Mace was found with his lungs
shot to pieces by the near discharge Of o double.
bareled gun; his wife had been cut TO pieces
with an ak, and the boy murdered with q heavy
club.
Upon the forehead of Mace the marks Of @
blow from the breech Of gun were found, aa
were also fragments OF the locks, which were
knocked of by the violence Of the blow, and
which the murderers had not taken time to re.
move or conceal. The FIRE was not extinguish-
ed, but the bodies were rescued, and immediate
steps taken for tie arrest Of the perpetrators Of
the outrage. Two fellows were arrested on
suspicion. Subsequently II was discovered
that the fragments Of the locks found resembled
those upon Mr.. Wilkinson's own gun, which his
own son had q little while before borrowed and
had not yet returned, Upon being asked fol
the gun he replied that HHe would 20 and gel
It." He went, and has no. been seen since,
Last Monday about two hundred men were in
pursuit, and as he 10 easily identified, II Il
thought be will surely be caught.s' t'aTf
