ish the treasury aud for the defense of
the country. jeff. Davis then re
views the relations heretofore existing
between the States and the events which
have resulted in the present warfare
Referring to the Mission Of the Con mis-
sioners to Washington, he says the crook

candor, and dircctness as the course Of
the United States Government towards
the commissioners,
jon. Davis incidentally refers to
the prudent caution observed by the feet
off Charleston during the bombardment
of Fort Sumter, and pays high compli-
ments to the Carolinians for their for
bearance before, and heroism, daring and
magnanimity after the bombardmcnt. lie

Reverdy johnson, who arrived to, day
from Frederick, says the Legislature are
appalled, at the strength of the Union
sentiment in Maryland and at the GER
tainty of making Maryland the battle
field if they throw her into the vortex of
secession He does not believe that they
will perform any action of legislation
tending to such an end. Mr. Wallace,
elected from Baltimore, during the reign
Of terror, moved to ratify the amend
ment to constitution proposed by Con-
gress, that the government shall not in-
terfere with slavery where it now exists.
A week since, he was all in haste for Sc
cession.
The city is very quiet. Four Union
meetings were held tonight in as many
sections of the city. Speeches aud 9TH

"lt is your duty. gentlemen, under
the solemn oaths you have taken, impair
italy to inquire into these occurrences,
and present such persons as bore part in
the riot. The very existence of society
depends upon your faithful discharge of
this duty. You will inquire, whether
there was rreconcert and preparation,

railroad, preventing the safe march of

duty to inquire whether any of our own
citizens were without justification or
provocation fired upon by troops and
killed.
Besides, the loss of life, the violence
done to property, the breaking into
houses, the assuming of unlawful author

attempt by organizations, unknown to

government, also deserve your attention"

Where the tide heaves its breast and sighs,

Hoarse cannon unto cannon calling.

Belching red fire in crinkling chains,
The iron drops on Sumter falling.
Shall our good swords in scabbards rust,

Perish the thought, our blades are drawn,
Thick a. the Summer blades of corn,
Swift to defend our eeding nation.

With black lips 20 the nation calls,
To rise, from inland to the borders.

Trod in the dust. in triumph waves
Oh. clang the old bell in the tower,
That spoke for Freedom in the hour
"That tried the souls" of bravest of mortals
Let patriots rock old Faneuil Hall,
And mantles on our heroes fall,
From those who climbed fame's starry
portals.

We're won beneath the stripes and stars,
Whose name will live in song and story.

We trust our federal authorities will
not have another word of negotiation, of
any character whatever, with any State
or city that is either rebellious or hcsi-
tating--nor give ear for one moment to
any mediator with his arrangements for
sparing the cffusion of blood The only
phraseology used by the government
should be that of unconditional demand !;
the only phraseology listened to should
be that of unconditional submission.
Government is the executor Of law and
law does not negotiate, it prescribes-it
does not compromise, it Furnishes. The
officer of the law does not 90 into con-
ference with the burglar and the mur-
derer: neither with the man who him
self threatens burglary and murder in
case they and he are not let alone. Nor
should it be different with traitors, aud
the friends Of traitors. If the border
States will no: perform their whole duty
to the government, they are to be reck,
oned with those States that have openly
repudiatcd the government. All alike
are its enemies, and all alike should be
dealt with as such. To party with any
of them is to sacrifice the dWhority OF
law, without which law is nothing.
The war has actually begun; and th'
sooner the government and all loyal peo
pie conform their entire action to thi.
stern fact of war, the sooner and th'
surer will solid peace return. The olive
branch should no longer be in oul
thoughts it is the naked sword alone

the thoughts of the North were turnet
