Shall yet terrific burn, 81 .s5l
Till dangers troubled night depart
And the Star of Paace ratnrn

The only question, for the disaffected part Of
the South to settle is, whether they will take
their part in the glorious inheritance of the
American nation, living safely, peacefully and
prosperously, or whether they will sink into one \
OF the most pitiful and contemplate attempts
at notoriety which modern times have witness
ed; whether they will be a fragment Of bro.
ken star, wandering off into darkness, or be q
part of glorious orb, careering through the mid
heavens with unsurpassed brilliancy. 1t is
question for themselves As to the National
Administration, IL has but one course to pursue.
1t must carry on the Government, in all its parts,
according to the Constitution and the laws, no
matter what may be the fate OF traitors, and no
matter what resistance may be offered. If an
arm shall be raised or a shot fred against the
American Government, it viii be the signal for
such an outburst of patriotic fire as was never
seen since the revolution. The mighty heart of
the nation will beat througha all its arteries; and
what no Statesmen can settle in the Cabinet will
be set aside by the spontaneous combution of the
people. Hill and valley will ring with the cries
of patriotism; and whether it be in Tennessee
or OHIO, in Missouri or Massachusetts, there will
be one grand shout for the American nation and
the American Constitution. One grand ava
lanche will sweep the traitors away. ......
If the Secession States still want to try their
fortunes alone let them contrive some other
way than resisting the authority Of the United
States. Let them. appeal to q National Conven-
ton to part, if possible, in peace. The Gov
ernment can do nothing fo- them. Separation
isnot one Of the events provided for 10 the Con-
stitution and it cannot be accomplished by any
force. The crisis is at hand. Let the people
of the Secession States think twice before they
rush on the thick bosses Of the Government
In any event whatever, We spprehend nothing
for the great body of the American nation. - d
Even a fracture would be but temporary; and
sooner or later, the parts must come together,
and the American Empire overspread the conti-
nent. ~ q. pIG2a7 9d .3ys lHG It9t5 3

A PHnApELPAIA ANATHEMA UPoN BUCHANAN.
Tho Philadelphia Sunday Atlas closes an able
reviw of the administration of James Buchanan, in
the following terrible anathema:
Blighted in his ambition for second term of
Office; blasted in reputation through his acts Of
commission and omission; despised by the very
creatures whom he dragged into official positions
for none of them have ventured to indorse his
administration in the convention of which they
have be- n members; accursed of men and reject.
ed by the Deity, he will descend to the grave
amid the anathemas of a..distracted nation, whose
generosity he abused and whose Institutions he
destroyed An ancient nation decreed that no
parracide should find sepulture within her limits.
With equal justice could our Legislature enact a
law that Mr. buchanan shall never pollute the
soil of Pennsylvania with his traitorons remains.
The Venetian Councils decreed that Malino Fal
Zero should find no place among her long line Of
Dogcs and up to this day, the panel which his
portrait should have occupied is covered with
the black drapory Of death, as a punishment OF
posterity for his treason. Let the Congress OF
the United States make similar record of Mr..
Buchanans blasting treachery, as a warning 10
future dastards and dotards. The Prone thean
penalty Of the vulture and the rock, throughout
the long ages OF eternity, would be the most ap
propriate reward for this leader Of traitors
