A Grave Refieotion

The Cincinnati Enquirer of tho 3Oth
ult., closes an article on the costs Of the
war to Ohio and the Queen. City of the
West" hy the following significant re-
marks:
It is the duty of good citizens to con-
template all tho rising probabilities Of
the hour, as well as the lamented past
and the apprehended future We are
whirling in the outer circles of vortex
which may swallow up our liberties with
our property and our lives. We may
have no posterty, or if we do, leave
them nothing to make their inheritance
desirable. And yet, we were SO blessed
oc Heaven that we came into the world
with the noblest patrimony ever .vouch-
saicd to men. But it i. in the very
greatest jeopardy. We call on all our
fellow citizens of every State, and es-
pecially of Ohio and the northwest,
which are to be crushed by the weight
of the war, to consider their rights and
to realize their danger. If Ohio be the
tenth owner of the Federal property, she
and Indiana, and Kentucky together
own the quarter of it, and such an. in
vestmcnt is worth looking after. Civil
war will destroy it; first destroying
enough men TO make pophous State
constituency, and widowing and orphan
ing enough wives and children to cover
it with black, and sink it in utter DESC
lation. They are central States; they
represent the two opposite institutions,
social and political, to ignorance of which
we owe this iratricldal strife. They are
the proper administrators upon the fate
and fortunes of the Union. They are
the nucleus of the Mississippi valley
They are the triangle of constitutional
liberty in the United States, as the cita-
dels of Lombardy are the quadrangle
of Austrian dcspotism- What have they
to say to the next step of this war, which
will be New York seizing the headship
OF the country as the Empire State, and
giving us for despots her civil and militia
ry leaders, and for institutions, instead
of our sacred free Constitution, the class
legislation of peace, and the military
| code till that is conouered?
