her traitorous Executive so completely that
he will be powerless to carry out bis de-

down resolution that the Governors proc

true position Kentucky should occupy du-

ADVICE TO BE CONsrDERED.

Our well-known fellow.citize Ben. NJ. Whit
lock, esq, has issued to his Southern customers
a Circular, whereof copy has fallen into our
hands, in which Mr. Whtlock dwels upon the
deplorable state of the country, states his mind
upon the subject of Slavery, which he regards as
a blessing, offers to trust Southern thirsty souls
for more liquor if they will but stay in the Union,
abuses the Aboltionists proper as beneath notice,
and sorrcwfully appeals for delay. To our great
astonishment We cannot find the Prices Current
of the liquor market upon the back of this con-
viyia epstle; but We do find the following,
which we give to the world as the recorded
opinion of Mr.. Whitock:
Politicians hirstns plundcritinerant oratorsand
sation preachers ho hare no oheJ Hefhod earning s'
bread hare done much Bise1ct"
We beg leave particularly to call the atten-
ton of our readers to Mr.. Whtlock's contempt
for " sensation preachers who have no other
"methOd of canning their bread" Considering
the peculiar business in which he is himself en-
gagged, and the effects it is supposed to produce
upon the public morals and welfare, we cannot
sufficiently admire the cOOlDess with which this
man expresses his opinion, his most unfayorabe
opinion of /" sensation preachers" In our hum
ble Judgment it is better to preach than to sell
bad spirits, even if the sermons preached could not
commend themselves to the finished taste of Ben
iamin n. Whitock, esq. Perhaps politicians
- thlrstiDg for plunder,' even although they are
also ." tinerant orators" are in quite as harm
less trade as this new censor.
Still, if We are to send to revolted States
an EmbassOr, why is not Mr.. Whitlock the man
He, of course, will unite patriotism with profit;
as why should he not He will, no doubt
travel with samples of his choicest runs, hi:
most exquisite brandies, his most aromatic gins,
bis most ancient wines. Upon arriving in some
revolted village of South Carolina he will set up
his platform and his puncheon. He will alter
nately treat and entreat He will carry the
olive branch in one hand and the toddy-stick in
the other He will be a missionary Of courtesy
and cocktails, "Corkscrews and the Constitu-
L" ton" will be his rallyng cry, and everywhere
he viii be welcome. Don't send any more
frigates Wbitlock and his samples will be suf-
fcient
Here is an opportunity of accomplishing great
deal with very little money Mr.. Whitlock un-
derstands how to do the thing browner even than
his brownest sherry, and TO come out of it leay.
ing his enemies aud the enemies of the Constitu.
ton paler than his palest sherry, and winning a
reputation goldener than his godenest sherry
Any port in storm! yea, even Mr.. Whitlock's
which We hope is really not very bad article

A FEW DAYS MORE PATIENCE.

Recent adyices indicate that the secession tide
in "the Border States is beginning to ebb. IL
has been unnaturally stimulated by ambitious and
willy leaders, mainly for the purpose OF frlghten
ing the Free States, and extorting humlliatlns
concessions and compromises from their SEN
ators and Representatives in Congress.
When they find that this game OF
bluff proves Intellectual, and that talking
secession and treason is far more easy and safe
than committing the overt act, reason will resume
its sway and the storm will wholly blow over
or expend its force in ftlul gusts. If the North
in and out of Congress, will keep cool and stand
firm twenty or thirty days longer, the Border
States will leave the Cotton States to "play it
alone" 1t is evident that yrginiais disposed to
look before she leaps into the dark chasm of dis
union. North Carolina holds back from the brink
of the precipice; while Maryland, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, and Missouri, can hardly be said to have
taken any decisive steps toward it. Let the Sen
ators and Representatives of the Free States
maintain "masterly inactivity" and all will yet
be well.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-01-19
BLACK AND WHITE.

For every slave that has run away from the
South during the last twenty-five years, there has
been at least one white Northern freeman who
has been maltreated in the Southern States, and
deprived of his rights, on suspicion that he did
not love their "pecular institution" For every
slave that has been entced away, there have been
more than two white men from the Free States
who have been forcibly elected from the-South
without cause, or ynched on the spot in violation
of law and right For every negro that has been
rescued from officers while executing the Fugitive
Slave law and for every case of successful resist
ance to the enforcement of that law, there have
been at least five Northern white men, guilty OF
no crime, who have been put TO death in the
South because they were suspected of being op-
posed to Slavery. With these palpable facts be-
fore them, we do not perceive that those Repub-
licans who are oyerhauling the Constitution at
Washington propose to'do anything to give effect
To that provision which declares that "the cti-
zens of each State shall be entitled to all priv
| ileges and immunities of citizens in the several
States" When ,eM our legislators stop agi-
{" tatng the negro question and attend to the In
terests of white men 7" Why viii not some
white Republican introduce bill into Congress
or propose an amendment TO the Constitution, b
secure the rights of men guilty of skin colored

twenty years in this question of Disunion. They
have longed and waited for the occasion; and
now that it has come, they have counted the
cost, and are ready to abide the consequences.
And what is true of South Carolina is true Of
all the seeding States, in a greater or less
degree, according to locality and circumstance.
We observe that in the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature a Mr.. Tyler has offered resolution to
provide food for the suffering people of Charles
ton. 1t would be as wise to offer them series
of tracts upon the right Of revolution. They
need neither. We beg leave to inform Mr..
Tyler that Charleston is not shut up in Fort
Sumter, dependent upon Mr. Buchanan for sup
plies; but that the State of South Carolina, with
which Charleston has free intercourse, is
bounded on the north by North Carolina on the
south and west by Georgia; that its westermost
border reaches nearly to Tennessee; that it has
connecting railroads with nearly every one of
tie Southern and Western States, and is, at this
moment, in no more need of eleemOsynary aid,
either in money or food, from the Massachusetts
Legislature, than Massachusetts, herself is of
supply of dried Goldfish. The proposition indeed,
is in other respects an evidence of the
entire misapprehension of the spirit that
governs the Southern people. We have no
doubt that Charleston would go to the verge of
actual starvation before she would accept such
charity from Massachusetts,. If the South is
bent upon madness, in the name Of common sense
let the North not rival her by rushing into
idiOcy. The danger of her attempting to subdue
the North by force of arms is, at this moment
far more imminent than that she will voluntarily
secede from her rebellious position. There
is nothing in her material circumstances that can
force her TO such step. She is in no need OF
food she is not yet distressed for want OF
money; there is no laxity in her internal police
the tyranny of public opinion is exercised over
very few where nearly all are Of one way of
thinking; commerce. for the present, she is will
ing to do without; and any Inconvenience, in
short which she is actually suffering, she accepts
cheerful,y as an inevitable but temporary sacri-
fee which precedes and enneryes the coming of
the glories of the separate COnfederacy. 1t is a
fatal mistake to encourage any hope for the
future upon any supposed condition Of Southern
distress.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-01-19
CONsIpERABLE MISTAKE.

The first step in surmounting serious DIM
| Guilty, whether in public or private affairs, Is
recognition of the fact that there is serious
difficulty 10 encounter. No more fatal mistake,
| therefore. can be made in time Of extensive re.
| belion than to misapprehend the temper, the
| purpose and the resources Of the rebels them
| selves. A blunder sometimes is as bad as a
| crime, and if the Administration has not treach-
erously played into the hands Of the Secession
| lists. il has by its weakness and want of appre-
henpion of their purpose and spirit permitted
them TO achieve a success which must astound
| even themselves. The whole country is in danger
of falling into the same error, and permitting a
revolt to become formidable by failing to recog-
nze its actual character.
The South is in earnest she is not afraid; she
is ready to encounter danger and difficulty; she
ia ready to make sacrifices; and she is ready to
meet and bear up under the inevitable disasters
that attend state of war. Grant that she is
mad; grant that she is rushing upon swift de-
struction; grant that the very element for which
she means to do and dare SO much will be, in
the end, her certain ruin; grant that the idea
which governs her, that the Union is clog to
her prosperity and the destroyer OF all her rights
is az fatal chimera as ever lured people 10
destruction. Nevertheless she believes IN that
notion, and means TO MAINTAIN it to the bitter
end If this be true the country should recog-
nize so serious an emergency and call up all its
energies for the eventiul struggle that is impend'
ing over us.
Instead of this, the country is believing q lie.
They are assured that the secession movement is
in the hands of a mob that the respectable peo-
pie Of the South are cOerced to approval, or, at
least to sence that property is already unsafe;
that State loans are enforced, and that needy
rufiians extort money from the fears of the rich;
that business is destroyed; that starvation is
added to anarchy; and that to this disastrous
condition of affairs, when it is ne longer beara
bic, there must come speedy end, at the hands
of the South herself, who, with the intolerable
effect, will crush the mischievous cause.
There il precisely as much truth in all these
statements as there is in regard to any rebel
lion, and no more. In South Carolina, where
the movement is most developed, there Ire, as
we Know, some persons oPPoscu W il-'sono
from constitutional timidty some from dread Of
any change imposing new burdens upon the citi-
zen. But the party we are pleased to call the mob
embraces many Of the best men Of the State--re-
sponsibe and respectable from character and
intellect, and possessing the largest interest in
the common wesl and those who follow them
are from every class in the community, and who
are carrying out in acts the training Of Gve-and'

SALT.

The State Of New.York owns Salt Springs and
Works at and about Syracuse, which send forth
some millions of bushels of Salt annually, to be
disseminated by Canal and Lake transpOrta-
ton over this and other mainly Western
States. She has just about completed, at very
heavy cost, for which our people are now paying
heavy taxes, the Enlargement OF her Erie and
Oswego Canals, by which the cost Of transport
ing Salt to the West has been and will be essen
italy reduced For the water thus furnished,
pumped up from the bowels Of the earth and
poured by the State into the boilers of the man.
ufacturers, they were formerly charged sixty
cents per barrel Of 2S0 pounds; afterward, thirty
cents of late, the charge has been but five cents;
now Gov. Morgan proposes its increase to ten
cents We believe this is but fair and just return
fer what the State supplies, even If we ignore
the fact that the State is about completing, at
cost of millions to her taxpayers, Canal En-
larpemept which will considerably reduce the
cost of Transporting and increase the sale OF
New. York Salt. If we rightly comprehend
Syracuse" our Salt is now moved westward
for less than it's fair cost, because our return
fieiphts on the Canals do not at oil equal in
bulk or weight those coming eastward II, under
these circumstances, the Western States can buy
Salt cheaper of their own local works than from

Do you wish to know how to save the Union
and give an overpowering life to the now de-
spondent sentiment of patriotism We answer,
Sho,c that you mean to defend the Constitution and
maintain the Government. Had Major Anderson
fired dozen guns on Thursday of last week,
and brought the Star of the West safely under
the walls of Sumter, Treason would have been
stayed. That act alone would have saved Vir,
ginia from plungng into the fatal gulf of rebellion
Useless talk of compromises, and Of dragging the
Republican flag in the mire, can do nothing but
more surely precipitate her into it.
