Our dispatches state that the Union Is
saved. What the precise ingredients are, Of
the poultice which has healed over the old
sore that has been running so Extensively in
South Carolina, Is not clear, as the dispatch
Is evidently mixed, as well as the prescrip-
ton. The interpretation seems to be that
an enabling act is 10 be passed for New
Mexico, by which she is TO be brought in as
q slave State, to restore the equilibrium,
and then the door is to be shut and no other
new State shall be admitted without the
consent of all the States. Besides, the per-
sonal-liberty bills are to be repealed and
there is to be no more personal liberty.
1t seems that the craftsmanship Of the
smsrtest people, and the only people capa-
BILE of self-government, and whose free insti-
tutions are constantly astonishing Europe
and the rest of mankind, has brought the
nation to dead lock, and any further ex-
psnsion of our spread-eagle would be fatal.
We are disposed TO credit this feature OF the
compromise, because even Douglas, who a
few weeks ago in New Orleans preached our
manifest destiny to overrun the whole
southern part of the Continent, proposes
now to have the nation put under bonds
against any further acquisitions Of territory.
So, also, did Mr.. Pugh in his speech at
| Smith & Nixon's Hall.
II has not been the custom for the States
to consent unanimously to the admission Of
new States. California had hard time
getting in, and it took compromise to do
| it then. But then we were told at our
Union Meeting that the Union was formed
by compromises, and that of course it would
take constant compromises to keep it going
Oregon met strong opposition. When il
was admitted, Mr.. Buchanan made speech
from the White House, and said, "None but
towards were afraid Of the expansion of the
nation" Most of the new States have en-
countered great opposition TO their admis-
sion, and Kansas has long time been knock
| ing in vain at the door of the Union.
We assume this news to be true, because
it is as sensible as any compromise yet
proposed. New Mexico, which don't want
to come in now, is to be forced, and then the
bars are to be put up. We are to become
virtuous, and there are to be no more cakes
| and ale. To the new States that ask ad-
mission, the Union will apply the rule that
Hamlet proposed for the young women Of
| Denmark:
SECT thee to nunnery: why wouldst thou
be breeder of sinners2 say we will have
no more marriages: those that are married
already, all but one, shall live; the rest shall
/ keep as they are. To nunnery, 60"

A hIodel Cnhinet Omcer.

Secretary Floyd resigned because the Pres
ident delayed ordering Major Anderson back
to Fort MOultrie. He alleges that Major
Anderson's movement was a breach of the
Presidents pledged faith to South Carolina.
This means that the national forts at Charles
ton shall be kept in such condition that
South Carolina can seize them at her pleas
ure, or the Secretary of War will not stay in
the Administration.
Its not necessary to have any further evil
dence to decide the nature of Secretary
Floyd's conduct. There was an arrange
ment once before in the history of this ma
ton to put fort in such condition that il
could easily be seized. History has immOr-
tAlized the name Of the traitor.
II seems also that the President Of the
United States sgreed with the South Caro-
lima insurgents, that the national fortifea-
tions should be kept in defsnseless state, in
consideration Of promise offorbearance on
the part Of South Carolina during the re-
mainder Of bis term Of Office, leaving them
to be seized by the insurgents as soon as his
successor should be inaugurated. At this
rate we may expect that ere long the re-
mains of Benedict Arnold will be brought
from England by national feet, and de-

posted with great pOmp and with national
honors in the national msusoleum at Mount
Vernon. n
We are certainly progressive people, and
ifthe specimen Of our capacity for self-gov-
ernment which we now present does not
astonish the old world, there is no use try
ing. Th q
Yet we expect that MIR. Buchanan win
order Major Anderson back to Fort Moul-
trie. II will be very unlike him if he does
not. According to the South Carolinians,
he promised that the forts should be kept
in statu quo. In that condition they could
seize the forts at any time. The move
ment Of Major Anderson has placed
them in such a position that they
can not take Fort Sumpter at all; and
it can make Fort Moultrie untensble to
them. The spirit Of the Presidents agree
ment with the insurgents has been violated.
The intention ofiti defeated, and it is proba-
Bile, also, that the letter Of the pledge has
been violated. ILL.,.
A few weeks ago Secretary Floyd caused
it to be announced to the country that he
should transfer the Government forts and
all the public. property in his charge intact
to his successor. Now he resigns because
the President will not put the forts in'such
state that South Carolina can seize them
when his successor takes office. This shows
that Secretary Floyd tried to facilitate his
treason by professions Of patriotism and in
tegrity. -..t.
The bold movement of Major Anderson
secured position which removed the dan
ger of a collision with the South Carolin-
ians, by ticking away the temptation of an
unoccupied fortress on one hand, and an un-
tenable fort without adequate garrison,
on the other. The President did not
dare to re-enforce the forts. This
movement was the only peaceful So
ution of the difficulty. 1t is no new
thing in this Government for the Admins
tration to censure the military officers who
have done it the greatest service. There are
some notable instances on record. General
Scott and General Taylor have both had ex-
perience in that line. And if Tie gallant
Kentuckian is now censured for his brilliant
generalship, and for service to the country
which the entire people acknowledge, he
may regard himself as in the line of safe
precedent

RepeniInR Onr Failures.

The following graphic picture, drawn by
Judge Story, describes the condition of the
confederacy of sovereign States, which ut
terly broke down before the adoption of the
present constitution, and to which it is now
sought to reduce the present Union, by
recognizing the right of States to repudiate
the Constitution at their pleasure, and to de-
mand new terms and concessions as con-
dition of their remaining in the Union.
Judge Story says;
''Tbe most opposite commercial regula-
tions existed in the different States, and. in
many cases, and especially between neigh
boring States, there was perpetual course
of retalistory legislation, from their jealous
les and riyalries in commerce, in agricul-
ture, or in manufactures. Foreign nations
did not fail to avail themselves of all the
advantages aceruing to themselves from this
suicidal policy, tending to the common ruin.
And, as the evils grew more pressing, the
resentments Of the States against each other,
and the consciousness that their local inter-
ests were placed in opposition to each other,
were daily increasing the mass of disaffec-
ton, until it became obvious that the dau-
gers of immediate warfare between some of
the States were imminent. But the evil did
not rest mere. OuT lOTelBu commerce. was
not only crippled, but almost destroyed.
Foreign nations imposed upon our naviga-
ton and trade just such restrictions as
they deemed best to their own interest and
policy.
"All of them had common interest to steal
our trade, and TO enlarge their own. They
did not fail TO avail themselves to the utmost
oftheir advantages. They pursued a system
Of the most rigorous exclusion of our ship
ping from all the benefits of their commerce,
and endeavored to secure with bold and
unhesitating confidence, monopoly Of ours.
The effect of this system of operations, COM
bined with our political was ruinous; our
mechanics were in state of inextricable
poverty; our agriculture was withered, and
| the little money still found in the country
was gradually finding its way abroad, to
supply our immediate wants; and state oi
alarming embarrassment in the most diff
cult and deliberate Of all relationships rela-
tions Of private debtors and creditors
threatened daily an overthrow even Of the
| ordinary administration OF justice. Severe
as were the ealamities Of the war, the press
uTe of them was far less mischievOus thar
this slow, but progressive destruction of ell
our resources, al our industry, all oul

The slavery question is not the only occa-
sion for secession, if the right is once recog-
nized South Carolina was just as violent
for secession on the tariff question. The
revenue question has, in the future, material
for as many seeessions as there are States.
In 1903 Jefferson placed an embargo on our
commerce. 1t was a novel measure to
redress our injuries from foreign nations.
Massachusetts, threatened to secede. New
England proposed to secede in the war of
1912, on account of war which the Admin
istration was swift to declare, but inefficient
to carry on. Any great war with foreign
power would cause a general dropping to
pieces OF the Union, if the right to secede is
set up over our Constitution.
In the winter after the Massachusetts, Sc
cession- furry, the Virginia Electors, who
had voted for Mr. Madison, dined together,
in company with many other distinguished
citizens. Among the regular toasts was the
following:
"The Union Of the States: The majority
must govern. II is treason 10 secede."
Spencer Roane presided, and Robt. Taylor
was Vice-President. There were present
Gov. Cabell, Hugh Nelson, ]. Peyton Ran
dolph, John Preston, Thomas Richie, and
many other prominent Yirginians.
The meaning of words changes so rapidly
that written records are of little value,
ard the character and reputation of departed
statesmen are entirely unprotected. Now,
these men would be called coercionists, who
would force sovereign State into govern
ment against her consent, and who, rather
than concede and compromise to save the
Union, would plunge the country into the
horrors of civil war, and drench the land
with fratricidal blood. 1t is well for the
good name of these men that they died
when they did. Now, they would be called
any thing but patriots.
