hesitate, however, in their resistance TO the
mo- oyements Of an unmatured, dubious and
ricketty Government which, hardly able to
stand upon its feet, undertook to emulate the
conqucss and glory Of Old Rome in the
paniest days Of her power. They certainly
would resist the seizure Of any territory by
by the Confederacy in question. The North
would also resist it, and the South, now com
planning Of a possible hemming in of its insll-
tuition by a Gordon Of Free States, would find
itself shut in more closely than it had ever
dreamed was practicable in all the night
mares Of its past existence.
We need not follow out the results OF
state Of war between the South and other
Nations We need not point TO the insuirec-
tions Of Southern slaves, urged on to deeds OF
slaughter, rapino and violence such as only
the black blood knows when it is aroused and
let loose upon the white races. The imagina-
tion shrinks appalled, from the picture, and
yet these things will be.
IT is said that the branch of the Knights of
the Golden Circle in this State have in view
the establishment Of Pacific Republic, not
50 much for the sake ola Pacific Republic as
for the purpose of taking away so much
power as may be possible from the Northern
Union. BE that as it may, let us look a mo-
ment at the practicaLilty Of such a Republic
Whence would come its armies and naves,
when most OF these would be needed, to-wit ::
at the outset? What would prevent San
Francisco from being leyccd to the dust, by
bombardmcnt? What would prevent the
landing of English troops all along the coast
of Oregon and California, for the purpose OF
extending the limits of the adjoining British
Possessions? Whence would we obtain arms
and ammunitons? We have no ships to
fight their way upon the seas, and we have
no railway over which to transmit them
from the States across the mountains. Say
we put II hundred thousand men into the
field, where are their arms and provisions
lfthcy have these, who are to cultivate the
fields, attend to the various avocations Of in
dustry and provide for the sustenance and
shelter of women and children? ? With no
arms and ammunition, both men and women,
with their children, would be driven from
the cities into the mountains. There they
would be met, if not by famine, by the saw
age Indians of the Plains, the allies Of the
Mormons. but too ready to make their in
roads for slaughter and for plunder The
Mormons themselves would not be idle; and
ia short, the inaugurators ola Pacific Repub-
lie would find themselves met and foiled at
every turn that it would be possible for them
to make
This is bat mere shadowng Of the diff
cultes to which we could point. But even
this ought to be sufficient, we should think,
to deter any rational man, having any home
to bind him or any ties to hold him, from
embarking, either by word or deed, in the
mad scheme of a Pacific Republic

To CoRREsroNDENTs.- The Milwaukee News
gives the following sensible advice to news
paper correspondents:
Never write unless you have something to
write about. Never write with pencil, or
pale blue ink, on bright blue paper. Never
write on both sides of the paper Never write
to crafty personal pique, or to get an enc
my's name in the paper. Never send your
production until you have re-read it and
carefully punctuated it. If it is your first
effort read it three times, and then submit it
for examination and criticism to a mean per-
sonal enemy You will be apt to Judge of its
merits by its length-so viii the editor
Your rule, "the longer the better"-his, "the
shorter the better" A tremendous thought
may be placed in a small compass, made as
solid as cannon ball, and like that projec-
tile, cut down all before it. Short articles
are generally more effective, find more read
ers, and are more generally copied than long
ones. Pack your thoughts close together,
and though your article may be brief, it will
have more weight, and will be more likely TO
produce an impression. Many an article is
written SO badly that the editor has not time
or patience to read it. The common p. S.,
"Fix it up, Mr.. Editor" condemns the whole
You should fix it up yourself The authors
name should accompany it, or it is entitled to
no respect. but the greatest failure is in
writing poetry, and perhaps the best rule for
this is to let it alone altogether Not one
effort in a thousand has any merit and most
new writers are apt TO have an attack Of this
disease Finally, friends, if these suggestions
be followed we shall be very happy to re-
ceive your communications

ZAcH MoNTGoMERY.-This gentleman deliv
cred speech on Monday, in the Assembly,
which we shall read and comment upon, at
an early day. We cannot say whether we
agree with the observations of our special
correspondent, "Capito," upon it, until we
have examined the speech, but we have great
confidence in the accuracy of our correspon-
dents perceptions. We expected that Mr.

pointed, if he has not

SUBoRDINATE.-Sen Seward has de-
clared that "Republcanism is subordinate to
the Union" We hope his party will make
it So They need not be afraid Of humilia-
tion in SO doing, for they claim, like every
other party now existing, to rest upon con-
stitutional basis. If, for the sake of the pres
orvotion Of tho Union, fundamental princi-
pie is incorporated in the Constitution which
settles forever the question of slavery and
places beyond all dispute the proper inter-
probation of the instrument, why, then, of
course the entire aspect of political parties is
changed; for the very essence Of these par
ties is the spirit in which they interpret the
Federal Constitution. All doubtful matters
being settled in the organic law of the coun-
try, parties will be framed with reference to
the authoritative Interpretation, or rather to
the positive and unequivocal declaration of
the instrument. New lines will be drawn,
and inconsistency cannot be charged either
to Democrats or Republicans. The great
point is the preservation of the Union, and

into the Constitution, and consonant with
civil liberty, should there be incorporated
whether by the votes of Republicans, Breck-
inridgers, or Wings, or Democrats. No par
ty man need be ashamed to sacrifice his po-
litical identity for the salvation of his coun-
try. lfSeward truly said what is imputed
to him, he spoke like great man.
Daily national Democrat., 1861-02-13

ANswEE-As the Express is so fond of
asking questions. we will just inquire of it,
what it will do if the Secession movement
fails, and the Union is preserved? viii it
claim to have been great Union paper, all
through the existing difficulties, and that it
never had any sympathy with Secessionists? :?
Will it laud Douglas and John j. Crittenden,
and all those leading patriots who are now
eXerting themselves to preserve the country =?
In short, does it approve the doctrines of
John c. Calhoun or not? We desire di
rect answer TO this latter interrogatory, if to
no other.

YORK Eighth hIlitia, whose term Of service
expired, insisted On their discharge, I wrote
to the regiment, expressing q request for
them to remain short time, and the Hon
Secretary Of War, who Wes at the time on the
ground, tried to induce the battery to remain
at least five days; but in win. They insisted
on their discharge that night. It was grant

moved toward into battle, these troops moved
