| The London Times, of the 18th ultimo,
has long article on the "impending crisk
In America. 1t says:
| IfSouth Carolina secedes, il Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi Arkansas,
Louisiana, follow, if Southern Federation
be formed, aud take its place among the
powers OF the earth, there can be no hope
OF keeping the border slave States. These
will be drawn by natural affinity to detach
themselves from the North, and Join the
slavcholding federation. North Carolina,
tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, will then be disso-
ciated from the free States. Such an
event cannot be regarded without dsmay
by the most staunch Abolitionist. 1t would,
IN fact make the Southern Federation the
real United States, as far as territory,
present and prospective, is concerned, and
reduce the North to what our ancestors
would have called "Rump." The people
OF Boston or Philadelphia might be dis
tinSuished for their abili y and enterprise,
but they would belong to country with
hardly greater future than Canada.
Every natural advantage would be on
the side of the slave States. Look ut the
map, and you Will see what narrow slip
OF country composcs the free soil of the
American federation. Only the sea. coast
from the British frontier to the Delaware
Ga few hundred miles, belongs to it; all the
rest, stretching far away down the Atlantic.
and along the Gulf Of Mexico, is in the
hands Of the slave owners The mouth of
the Mississippi is theirs; the Missouri and
ARKANSAS, the great arteries of the extreme
West, are thcis Virginia pushes u spur
OF territory to within less than n hundred
miles vi Lake Erie, and thus divides the
Atlantic free States from the West ip a
manner highly dangerous to their future
union. Indeed, ii is doubtful whether the
connection between New York and New
England, on the one hand, and Illinois and
the neighbonnS States on the other, could
long snrvivc the total separation of the
South The North would have territory
as Struggling as that of PRUSSIA, and the
Western region would soon find it adyan
tageous to dissolve its union with the East
ern. In the meantime, all the riches of
the New World would be in the grasp of
the Southcrners. Instead of exploring
the i"hospitable regions in the neigborhood
OF the British frontier, which would be all
that remained to the North the slave own
ers would carry their "undeniabe proper
ty" into lands blessed with every advantage
of climate, soil and mineral wealth Texas
has territory enough TO make three or four
great States. New Mexico is about to be
admitted with slave institutions Arizona
will follow. Mexico must in a few years
be conquered, and the Southcrncrs, lords
OF the most magnificent domain in the
world, would control the passage betwcou
the two oceans.-Lon,ioR- Times.

Seward and Mason
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE


In the United States Senate, on Thur
day, Mr.. Seward pres ,ntcd II memorial from
$4,000 citizens of the State OF New York
aud said that alt on IN the Senate Clam.
Der was the LARGEST legislative chpmber ever
erected since the beginning of the world
except the House OF Representatives, thi,
memorial would cover Il space thirty-cigh,
times ns large as this chImbcr lie had
already presented Il similar memorial, with
25,OUJ names, all urging concili ton. The
comm ,ttcc who bruus Int this memorial were
the representatives of the largest commerce
IN the world-a commerce which in any
other country would bc paramount to all
other interests. Happily, however, it was
not so. He concluded by saying that he
had advised the gentlemen composing the
committee who had brought OH the memo.

MIR. Mason moved that the memorial be

rial praying tor the adoption of the Cri ten

at this time, when six States had seeded
and others were armiug, the Premier oi
the new Administration had proposed any
practical measures. All knew by his voics

the Constitution needed no amendments
but that the Constitution and laws should
be enio ccI. He (Mr.Scwirdj had urged

ing of that
Mr.. Seward said that he meant that the
people should advance to the Union the
iunds by which the credit of the Govern.
mcnt should now be sustained
Mr.. Mason said that he had not done
him the injustice to suppose that he meant
the money to suhSidizs or dcmoralize any
portion OF the South. He meant to pay
the army to conduct the fight
Mr.. Seward said he meant to advise that
If, after all Congressional com promises, the
assembling of Convention OF all the peo.
pie Of the United States had faicd, then
for all to stand, as he should do himself, in
the breach for the Union.
MIR. Mason said he now understood the
Senator. He meant, it negotiations failed
to use war and bloodshed to preserve the
Union. The Union was gone, aud no at
tempt at subjugation would restore it. He
wanted his people, who were medtating to
restore broken Union, to understand
these things.
Mr.. Seward said he meant nothing that
was attributed to him by the Senator from
Virginia. He did not believe that blood.
shed would be necessary He believed the
people could settle it, The Union was
not gone, for the Senator was here to sus.
tain it.
Mr.. Mason said the remark of the Scna-
tor i'll favor of coercion would undeceive
Virginia, and show her that all this talk
about compromise and coaccsson amount
to nothing

GApplause. The great duty which is now
imposed upon us is to provide for these
States government for their future sccu

cordial welcome to unite with us for. the
formation ofa new Confederacy. Our. re-
sponsibilitics are great, but let us endeav-
or to place before the country and the world
our actions as sufficient justification of
themselves. With confidence in the just
nest OF our cause, We will inaugurate for the
South new era ofpeace, sc ,urity and pros

MIR. BOYCE then moved to adjourn

the motion for the moment
On motion of Mr. RHETT, the Con-
