Views OF DEAD MAN ON THE PoLITICAL
CRisIs.-Ex President Tyler presents his
views of the crisis, in a long communication
to the Richmond (Ya.) Rhig. Assuming
that the Constitution is only compact, he
claims that any State has a right to secede
for cause. Were this not so, he SAYS, "the
States would occupy the same position, and
none other, to the Government of the United
States that each county OF town occupies to
the Government of State. The uprising Of
county against the State would be unqual-
fled rebellion, and all concerned in it would
be guilty of high treason. No matter
what the evil complained of, no redress is
left but out-and-out rebellion, and each and
all engaged in such rebellion have entered
into it with halters around their necks, to be
used, unless the rebellion proves successful,
by the consolidated Government at its viii
and pleasure" ~
The remedies which the Constitution pro-
vides for redressing wrongs are unavailable
against an overwhelming sectional majority,
and the Supreme Court, Mr.. Tyler thinks,
will have its character materially modified
by Mr.. Lincoln. But the right to seeede
which is now resorted to after a long course
of forbearance on the part of the South,
should be regarded as means Of perpetual
ing rather than imperiling the existence oi
the Government, for if acknowledged it.must
operate to restrain the conduct Of majOrities
and officials. er

ExTRAoRDINARY FALL OF METEoRIC STONES
AND OTHER PHENoMENA.-Syed Abdoollah,
Professor of Hindostani, University College,
London, sends to the Times an extract from
letter he has received from India, describ-
ing an extraordinary fall of meteoric stones,
preceded and followed by most singular
ply ysical conVulsions, at Dharam Sal among
the mountains in the lower range south Of
the Himalaya. The writer says: ....-
ION the 2Sth of July, horrible discordant
noises rumbled forth from the bowels of the
earth, following each other with the utmost
rapidity. Then succeeded long and loud ex-
plosions, which gradually decreased in de-
gree and duration.
"Then came intensely luminous flames OF
fire, each flame about twelve feet in length,
shooting with extreme velocity from north
to south, as though belched forth from the
mouth Of ordnance of extraordinary size and
caliber. These again were replaced by a
shower of meteoric stones, which, wherever
they fell, plowed uD the earth like so many
cannon-balls. | subsequently, strolled over
the field of destruction, and discovered a
number of powders and meteoric stones Of
diverse forms and size, many of which bore
q great resemblance to ordinary caunon:balls
just discharged from the engines of war, but
which, when touched by me, felt like SC
many pieces of ice."
No loss of life or personal injury is re-
ported in connection with this strange freak
of nature.

An exchange. speaking of Edmund Abouts
last work, Rome Cotemporaine, says:
The government is despotically paternal !;
where every thing is clerical, the plays of
the children are ecclesiastical, and they
make believe at mass instead of battle; the
nude statues are some of them clothed by
direction Of the Pope, and men bathe naked
in the Tiber the Roman avoids death by the
most cowardly precautions, and at last meets
it like q saint and hero; in land of bad
smells, the MOBILES affect u disgust for the
perfume of flowers; to steal is dishonorable,
to stab is in the highest creditable |; the
victim is not regarded, the assassin is fol-
lowed by pity to his asylum in the nearest
church; copjugal infidelity is the rule, the
unweGded lapse from virtue the exception !;
the most oppressed people in the world, the
Jews of the Ghetto, have the inestimable
privilege of numbering each other with i'm
punity; in the seat of papistic superstition,
the inventors of pious miracles are impris-
oned the uniform of the soldier is less hen-
Orable than the livery of the lackey; with

ceived the extreme JUNCTION, 1t is ignomini-
ous for him to recover, no matter how well

Another Ultra DisuniOB' speech from Wen
dell PhlIIina

BosToS, January 20-Wendell Phillips
addressed the Twenty-eighth Congressional
Society, in Music Hall, this afternoon, on
"The Crisis" He declared himself to be a
disunion man, and was glad to see South
Carolina and other Southern slave States
had practically initiated the disuniop move
ment. He hoped that all the slave States
would leave the Union, and not stand upon
the order of their going, but go at once. He
denounced the compromise spirit manifested
by Mr.. Seward and Charles Francis Adams,
with much severity of language, and there
was an occasional stamping of feet and hiss
ing, but no outbreak.
Mr.. Phillips was escorted home by few
policemen, and a great crowd rushed about
The audience in the Hall was mainly COM
posed of those regularly attending services
there.

Use of the LarynEOscOpe New Modes o
Operating on the Throat.

Use of the Larry yngOscOpe New Modes of
Operating on the Throat.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times says:
Among the remarkable new things in the
profession the laryDgoscope has at once
jumped into prominent place. The laryn-
goscope is an ingenious arrangement of re-
Electors, by which a concentrated light may
be thrown into the throat, and the organs Of
the larynX brought into view. The inyen-
tion comes to US from Germany, aud bears
the name of DIR. Czermak. All physicians
who pay special attention to diseases of the
throat and lungs employ this apparatus, and
a course of free lectures, with instructions in
the use of the instrument are now going on
in one of the dependencies of the School of
Medicine. .a -.-r
Various models of this instrument are in
use, and much discussion is going on and
win go on before the profession shall have
settled down on the best model. DR.. Ward,
of New York, lately brought through this
city, on his way home from Berlin, a very
complete and very costly laryngoscope of
Berlin manufacture, which he will no doubt
be glad to show TO his contTeTes. But ought
TO state here that these first instruments are
too complicated and cosdy-Dr Wards, |
believe, cost $20O-and that already a sim
pier, cheaper and quite as effective an in
strument has been constructed.
The invention of the laruygoscope has
brought with it an increased study of the
pathology and treatment of diseases of the
larynx, and now no one longer denies the
great merit of DR.. Horace Green, in having
first discovered the possibility of applying
remedies directly to this organ. To-day it
is race as to who shall arrive in the larynx
with the most expedition and the least suf-
fering to the patient, and one can hardly
believe his senses when he reflects that as
late as two years and half ago, Prof Trous.
seau proclaimed loudly, without contra
dictors, that a probaug never had been
passed into the larynx, by DR.. Green, or any
one else, and that he doubted whether it
ever would be Now, however, they are
improving so much on DR.. Green's original
mode of operating, that soon we may hope
that the most awkward manipulators may
arrive in the larynx with stick of nitrate
of silver, without difficulty.
Among other things, laryngian porte
cduStique has just been presented to the
Academy of Medicine, by DR.. Fournie,
which seems to unite all the essential re.
quirements. | can not describe the instru-
ment further than that it resembles Lalle,
mapd's porte caustigus for the urethra, only
that when the instrument arrives in the
larynx the end opens by slide, so as to give
| the porte cdustigue room in its revolutions
In view of the rapid improvements that are
now being made for the relief of this most
| important class of maladies, it is to be re-
| gretted that the possibility of arriving with
| medicinal substances in the larynx had no
been sooner admitted and acted upon.

A New Orleans journal on the Question of
CoerciOn-The AdvaRtage 20 the South Of
Such n Measure.
The New Orleans Bee observes in recent
issue:
Perhaps, If we were reckless of the disas-
trous and sanguinary consequences which
would assuredly follow the employment of
force we might witness with a certain de-
gree of satisfaction q resort by the United
States to coercive measures, since it needs no
sagacity to foresee, that if once the blood of
Southern citizens is shed in defense of their
rights, no more human power can possibly
prevent every slaveholding Common wealth
from rushing to the rescue, and sharing the
fortunes Of the seeding States.
The most infallible means of securing the
withdrawal of the entire South, and its CON
solidation into a mighty Confederacy, would
be the employment of force. 1t would prove
not only effectual, but immediate. North
Carolina, which still hesitates; the border
slave States which yet cling to the Union
with lingering attachment, would instantly
abandon their connection with a Govern.
ment which sought to subjugate the South
into submission.
In less than sixty days the South would be
! constituted into d phalanx of thirteen OF
fourteen States, prepared to assert their in
dependence and to vindicate their right at
the point of the bayonet If therefore, the
Federal Government cherishes the faintest
hope of reconciling the difficulties between
| the North and South, or even of retaining
within the bonds of the Union some of the
slayeholding Confederacies, its unquestiona-
BILE policy will be to suffer those States
which have resolved on separation to depart
in peace. Compulsory measures will only
precipitate disaster, and greatly widen its
circle.
1t can not but be apparent, even to the be .
wildered understanding of Mr.. Buchanan, that
there is no possibility of compelling State
which secedes from the Union to enter it. The
North may send an army, invade and overrun
| it. The Government may wage war against
such State. Bloodshed and rapine may plunge
it into ruin and desolatioa. Its industry
may be made the victim of the direst cruelty
and oppression, but all this will not bring it
back into the Union. In the very nature of
our political organization this will be found
| impossible. ... ...
A Union cemented by force ceases to be
such, and is converted simply into an un-
mitigated despotism, in which discontented
and Iebellious subjects sare kept in sulen
! slavery by the overwhelming power of brute
force. Of course, such Government ceases
to be republican, and becomes as pitiless and
as absolute as the autocracy of Russia or
China. 1t follows, therefore, that if one or
more States are actually bent upon seeding,
the safest policy is to let them GO The op-
posite course may possibly succeed in subiu-
eating them, but it will not re establish the
! Union, much less consolidate the Republic.
