will, ere night, b. iuaugura:ed President and
yice-Pre.ideht Of the .oited States for the en-
suing four years. Aud though military resistance,
even ut the Federal City, was long and justly
syprehendcd, it is now clear that none viii
there be offered. Throughout the nineteen Free
Sta,es comprising two-tbrds of the population
and wealth of the country, there is not whis-
per of opposition other than that which is inevi-
table snd wholesome undcr all free institutions.
In q majority of the Slave States, no forcible
resistance has been threatened, and probably
none will be 0ffcred--at least for u time. In ttc
Cotton States alone has the standard of rcyOu.
ton been unfurled, and those States may he re-
garded as at least temporarily alennted from
and standing in hostile attitude to the Federal
Government. Nay: they have organized rival
cOnfcderacy, raised armies, appointed foreign
ministers, and are about to present themselves
formally at Washington to demand the recOgni-
ton of their Independence at the peril Of deadly
war. They have corrupted military and naval
officers, seized fortresses, clutched the Federal
treasure, converted millions worth Of public
property TO their own Use, and assumed to col
lect the Federal revenues for the replenishment
OF their own public chest. In that, they arc
either the bOIdeOt patriots or the mOst impudeut
traitors that the asLonished sun ever looked down
upon.
The new Administration inherts thorDy
wilderness Of perplexites-from the imbecihty
nd tuGd.lItU If D. nr.b.aassnp Far mouths

seemed bent ON i.s utter ruin. The mingled

Common felony has seemed patry beside such
atrocous crimes. The Government has thus been
thoroughly demoralzed, and has taken long
strides on the road 10 utter dissolution.
We be.peak, therefore. for our new rulers the
generous confidence and support Of the American
People Never before have men assumed respOn-
ability under such fearful dsadvaMages. A
bankrupt Treasury, a disorganized Army, ruined
Finances, seven revolted States, with others

pretext to make common cause with them, and
hundreds Of thousands, even in the Free States,

such are the fearful odds which Mr.. Lincoln

The most fortunate thing that ever happened
10 Benedict Arnold, was the birth Of David +.
Twigps, late General in the United States Army
now simply disgraced soldier and dshouoret
old man; for though the advantage of this advent
was long in appearing, yet by it the monopoly OF
shame has at last been taken from the trator of
the Revolution and shared with worthy rival.
Henceforth the name of this bad soldier may
assist TO point the moral of the patriotic orator,
and warn the young to beware of treason. Mr..
Tvigns may have fattered himself with the hope
that the South wOnld regard him "a hero and
canonize him as saint, and that many Northern
men with Southern prcpensites would reward
his baseness with their sympathy. He could
hardly have anticipated the universal outbreak of
execratinn which at the North has followed his
deed. aud he wal probably not wait long before
he discovers that the South, bes0tted M it is, ia
too cunuing not to see that the man who, at the
| age Of three score and ten years, strikes blow
at the flag under which he has served for half q
| century, and from which he has received much
upmeriled honor, will not hesitate to bctrey hls
| new masters when such treacbcry appears to him
| advantageous If he has not lost sll sense he
cannot fail to suffer acutey from the only pun

forts ~ the people. The 6rst acts of Mr.. Lin
colo's Goy,~pment will. We trust. command tho
confidence Of tho country as to bis wisdom and
frruness. With ,the restoration Of confidence as
to the power and d;enity of the Federnl Govern
ment will coms a confidence in the stability Df
the policy indicated by tSi' tariff, and career or
prosperity will be opened to ns such as we have
never before possessed.
Whatever may be the issue OF our present
difficulties with the Southern Sta'es, Congress
has at least provided against our suffering from
any want of territory in which to spread onr-
selves. as Territorial Governments have been pro-
vided for the Territories Of Colorado, OF Nevnda,
and of Dakota. An act of tardy justice has been
done in the admission to the Union of one new
State. Kansas is now member of the Conied-
eracy which failed to give her the protection to
which she had right, when suffering more
wrong at the hands Of her Slayehodmg neigh
bors than hundred times all the imaginary
wrongs which the South makes the basis of her
complaints against the North, and for which she
dissOlves the Union. There is q moral fitness IN
the admission Of Kansas as State by the same
Congress that refused to cODcede any compromise
to States which claimed the price OF their ale
glance to the Union new guarantees for Slavery,
aud the assurance that other Territories within
certain latitude should not be open, IA Kansas

Thurlow Weed aud the Hon. Washington Hunt
have resumed their former relations Of intimate
and confidential friendship, aud that the two are
about TO purchase aud rcanimate weak and

fGluwing expression Of doubt concerning the
correctness Of i.s correspondence informatioIi
"Ths improbable though well understand bow Mr-
Hunts patriotism msh lead him make any sechcs
tie State of New YoIk from Greeeyim-"
II will be observed that. in this uttersnce OF
skrpticsm, 7he Courier merely reasons from what
it regards as general probabilities. while it en-
tir-ly oyerlccks the fact that Mr. Weed aud Mr..
Hunt have again come tu hold the same political
principles, and are alike mentioned with applause
and sympathy in Democratic Slate Conventions
We Incline therefore, to consider the report OF
their rrronciati0n and new alliance as, on the
whole yeGy likely to be correct; and certainly,
il the ract is so, il illustrates in pleasing man
ner the tendency o! political accord TO obllterate
personal differences aud bring into active eXer-
else the mere amiat;e impulses Of human na-
lure. II would be- II good thing that two poll
ticans of such ability a5d such distinction, sep
aratrd for time by the relentless demon Of par

RAPID PROGRESS,

We lay before our readers on another page a
telegraphc dispatch from o confidential cor.
respondent at Montgomery, which casts strik-
ing light on the immediate purposes Of those en-.
gagged 10 carrying forward the great Pro Slavery
Rebellion. Our correspondent, who authorizes
US to state that his communication is forwarded
with the full knowledge Of the heads Of the rebel
Government, begins with pretty elaborate laud-
alton Of the character and capacity Of those who
compose il. AS We know tho gentlemen quite
well, and have enjoyed the advantage of being
governed by them for several years past, We
must say that this portion Of the dispatch seems
to US rather superauous. Equally unnecessary is
assurance that they are desrous Of settling with
tho United States, aud getting possession Of
forts, mints, aud other national property, on the
principles Of justice and good faith. Considering
that the gentlemen in whose behalf our CORES
pondent speaks are Mr.. Robert Toombs, Mr..
Jacob Thompson, Mr.. Howell Cobb, Gen.
Twiggs, and the like, and that they have begun
their career Of Independence By stealing forts,

Mr.. Crittenden on Saturday expressed the
opinion that the best way to keep holy the Sab

about compromise. Consequently that body came
together at o'clock last evening attended, TX TO
the galleries and floor, by an excitable, eager,

intruders were ordered from the floor, and i'm
mediately betook Themselves to the galleries, al

mors of conspiracy prevailed, aud he asks if it
would have been proper for him to have waited
for positive proof; he was convinced that the

alluded to. All this is very well; but did it not
occur to Mr. Buchanan that every word he wrote
was singing reproach upon himself' II the
safety Of the public property at Washington was
Of such Importance and he ia certainly right on
that point--why did he SO quietly allow fort
after fort at the South to be stolen, Mints and
Custom Houses to be sacked, Navy Yards to be
seized, and oil without whisper of remOn-
STRANGE Flying rumors were properly sufficient
to induce him TO concentrate troops at the caP-
tai. But more than flying rumors TOLD him long
before the Southern traitors struck blow that the
most valuable public property was IN danger;
yet he maintained dull, pusillanimous silence
till everything was snatched.
