The Border States.

The problem with regard to the course of The
border slave States continues unsolyed. fol
months now they hay. occupied substantially
the same attitude-noninally within the Union

tender of adequate compromises, or with the
adoption Of coerciye policy on the part of the
Federal Government toward the seeding States
This is especially the representation given Of
their position BY those who have had the most
to say about it. When, therefor, Congress
adjourned after adopting but single clause in
all the list Of compromises proposed, and Presi-
dent Lincoln came forward with his plain and
unequiyocal enunciation of tho views which
would control his administration, these sell
elected spokesman at once proclaimed that the
border States had passed the limito of endurance
and would retire in body from the Union
The Inaugural according to their phrase
" meant war, and it would be resisted by " a
united South"
But the lapse of a few days have shown no
great progress toward this threatened resist
ance or this Union. Things remain about the
samo-whch we take it, is a good sign, We
expected that the firm declarations of Presi-
dent Lincoln so different from the tone of the
last administration, would be made the pre-
tense of great cutlery by the disunonists, and
of q concerted effort to spur on and renew
their papably languishing cause. But the Ct

of her recent election Arkansas, on tho ey.

When the history Of the recent conspiracy Of

bly, the BEST ALE manufactured either in this
or the old country at the present day.

rious drug, and will not intoxicate During
the heat of summer, it is the safest aud most
healthy beverage that can be used, and pro-
duces none of the evil effects caused by the
use OF distilled liquor.

ers, and in kegs for family use. Price, in
barrels, ten dollars; in fifteen gallon kegs,
