SPEAKING OUT.

THEY have some spunky women out in the great
Northwest. One writes as follows to the Chicago
Tribune.
write to beg you to let your powerful journal
do it's work in rousing up the North to a sense of
it's own dignity. What? are Northerners to be-
lieve that there can be no existence for the North
apart from the South? that among all our fathers,
husbands, and brethren, there are none fit to guide
the State? that the North is afraid to undertake
the charge Of its own future? Revolutionary blood
runs in my veins, and every woman of the North
who has a drop Of such, believes that the North
can take care of itself. Compromise? What FORT
That we may be open to the insults of the South a
few years longer2 What do thirty-two thousand
people in Boston want the old Union saved for {?
That the next Massachusetts, Senator may be kill
ed outright by some Southern Ruffan2 What do
petitions from the free States beg to have some
thing done to save the Union" fOr2 That their
native born citizens, forgetting that the South is,
after all, an enemy's country. may still go down
there to be i~nsulted, robbed, tarred and feathered
and hung?
There is a far more glorious destiny in store for
the free States, than the Union with its incubus of
slavery could ever achieve. LET US HAVE A NOBLE,
GLORIOUS, FREE NORTHERN CoNFEDERAoY. Let the
South go and welcome. They hate us and pro-
claim the fact. The f~raternal regard, which they
despise, will find a happier outlet in Canada,
whose people are equally onr relatives and far
more our friends. The sympathies of the world
will be with us, and we shall be accorded a proud
place among nations.
Yes,-honOr, liberty, and principle are of more
value than even "The Union" You have already
stated this trath, and your journal leads the mind
Of the Northwest. Do preach it again and again.
Are these eighteen free States 20 stand shivering
and shuddering any longer, while any State with
~dilatory, pompous importance, pronounces its "ul-
timatumf" Let the States accept the crisis forced
upon them, and announce their oDa uliimatum.

NEW PLOT.

According to advices from Montgomery recei-
we'd at Washington, the Southerns are plotting new
schemes. We give the reports for what they are
worth.
"The Congress will regard any attempt on the
part Of the United States to maintain its authority
in the Confederated States as an act Of war, which
will be followed by instantaneous reprisal. The
collection of the revenue and the retention of the
forts it would take as an attempt to hold them 10
subjugation.
"The militia Of the seas will be invoked at once
in the event of a blockade. Between fifty and ono
hundred privateers are in readiness for the ocean,
and will commence operations at a moments war
ming. 1t is not improbable that the first victims of
this retaliatory policy may be the California gold
ships and the Atlantic steamers. There are over
three hundred ports, between the capes of Virgin
ia and the Brazos, into which they could be car
ried with safety.

THE METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH,

ParsOn Brownlow says in his last paper:
We have been q member of the Methodist Church
for the last Mirty-sir gears, and we have all that
time felt q lively interest in all that affected her in
terest, and we still do. But II she concludes as q
church to become the champion of secessionists and
to engage in the hell-begotton work Of breaking up
this Government, we have no further use for such
an organization. The book concerns of the Meth
odist churches North and South, in Canada and in
England; ell the Bishops and leading members in
the churches; and all the Christian Advocates
south Of Mason and Dixon's line, can never drag
US into any such wicked scheme as that of break
ing up the Government, under which churches and
religious societies of all kinds have p~rospered for
near a century. The preservation of this Union is
of infinitely more importance than all the book,
tract, missionary, literary and other concerns of
all the sects in America. If the eyes of the people
Of the seeding States have been so blinded by the
~dustfrom cotton seeds that they can see no good in
anything connected with the Constitution and the
Union handed Town to us by our fathers, peither
the labors Of ministers, the teachings of book con-
Germs or the grace of Gcd can prepare them for a
better world than the Southern Confederacy.-
Leave all such sectional bigOts where they are, and
let them work out their damnation with greediness.
\ y y Indeed it is to be regretted that leading
ministers of different churches in the South are on
the stump, advocating secession, denouncing The
Union, and uttering treaeonable sentiments, which
merit hanging.

THE LIBERAToR,

In which Mr.. Garrison has already by many srans.
iations called the attention of his readers to the
ffonter, contained again last week a very appre-
clative commentator Of our paper, and o call 10
German-reading Americans to subscribe to the
same, in view Of the losses it has sustained. We
most heartily thank the L~iberator, whose recogni.
ton has for US an especial value, Cor this attention
and triendliness, anG we shall be oil the more re-
Joiced to have a number of free-thinking Ameri-
cans for readers, inasmuch as the independent
radicalism Of the Fionier will give them an oppor-
tunity to exercise or manifest the liberation of their
free thought 10 every direction, especially relig-
iouswise.
In connection with the foregoing, we must not
omit to publish the following correspondence
BosToN, February Oath, 1861.
KARL HEINzEN;
DEAR STR:-I see Jou are obliged to strike of
some of your Southern subscribers. Let me CON-
you on this proof of your fidelity to
truth and freedom. l should ask you to put my
name on your lis., if | read tie German with anv
ease. But my Ignorance in that direction does not
blind me to the value of your labors, or lessen my
interest in the success Of your journal.
Let me testify it by asking you to accept the in
closed twenty dollars, which please use in any way
to help the Rionier, and believe me,
Very cordially and respectfully yours,

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES CAUSED BY sRCEs.
SION.

A curious question came up for discussion be.
fore Judge Chamberlain, of Mobile, Ala, in Feb.
Ii was involved in the case of a fugitive from
justice for a crime ctmitted in the Eastern Dis
tri1t Of Virginia, and the requisition for the deliv-
cry of the criminal to the officer accredited from
the above District was recognized by Judge Jones,
Of the late United States Court of this District, on
the very day Of the passage Of the ordinance Of
secession. and the last of existence OF said Court.
On the ground that the act Of secession nullifed
all judiciary relations lately existing between the
State and the United States,a writ of hdbedS corpus
was sued out by L. s. Blount, Esq, counsel for
the prisoner, Robert B. Armistead, Esq appearing
for the other side. Mr.. Blount pleaded that all
statutes Of Alabama and the United States, provid-
ing for the rendition of fugitives from justice were
a dead letter from time Of the ordinance Of seces-
sion, by the Convention, until they were reafirm-
ed by the action of that Convention upon them,
which did not take place until the 9th ult., and
that, therefore, the detention Of the prisoner was
illegal during that period, as we'll as was the
order for his rendition, issued from a Court which
had become extinct with the act of secession. Mr..
Armistead cited many authorities to prove usuage
in similar cases, and to prove that even where
treaties, obligatory of the rendering of fugitives
from justice, did not exist between nations, yet
they had tie right to deliver such fugitives; and
they had the right to request that such fugitivos
be delivered, TO subserve the ends of justice,
although they had not the right to demand such
delivery. 1t was understood, and righteous in
ternatiOnal usage, that the power to do so should
not be the plea of the ~propriety of shielding a
criminal-international relations in these matters
being those of simple equity, when no formal
stipulations existed for their specific control.
Judge Chamberlain took the case under advise
ment, reserving Judgment.

THE PETTICOAT L A

The Charleston correspondent Of The New York
Times tells the following story of Revolutionary
days:
l was yesterday introduced to one Of the lieu
tenants of the Regular Army of South C~arolinA,
who is q lineal descendant Of William Washington,
the brother of the Father of bis Country. Nc
Pherson Washington owns the celebrated Grim
son flag Of Eutaw," which was carried at that ia
nous fight, as we'll &c at Cowpens. There 10 .
story connected with that famous piece Of cloth
that deserves narration. Just before the battle Of
Eutaw, William Washington called upon a lady
and asked her for something red, to inspire the
boys in the coming fight. She withdrew, and re-
turned with the desired color, carefully wrapped
up. Our Revolutionary mothers wore red petit
coats in those days, and not being able to obtain
anything else, she sacrificed her crimson jups on
the altar of her country. The jupe was carried in
to many q holly contested field, and wherever il
was seen, the boys thought Of their sweet-hearts
and wives at home, and struck for freedom with
terrific force. That little flag is still borne by tho
Palmetto soldiers, being in the present custody Of
the Washington Light Infantry. 1l

THE NORTHERN TRAITORS AND THE
SOUTHERN ONES.

The Southern traitors have rebelled against the
Union for the sake of s~lavery:-the Northern have
rebelled against Liberty, for the sake of the Un-
both for political prelerment, the spoils
of Office, the prerogatiVes Of power through the
perpetuity of slavery.
The Southern traitors rebel against the Federal
GoverRment-the Northern against The Sovereiqn-
ty and the liberties Of the people.
The Southern traitors, having lost the election,
and the Capitol, trample the Constitution under
foot. The Northern traitors, having won the cleo
tion and the Capitol, are attempting to subvert the
Constitution, by the action Of Congress and the
State Legislatures, without even asking leave of the
people, and so to subvert it, as to proclaim it be-
yOnd the power of the people to recover il into
their hands again.
The Southern traitors expected to carry their
measures by open violence, the Northern by Graf
tiness and deception.
The Southern traitors stole the public funds, the
public arms, the Notifications of public material
defence. The Northern traitors attempt to steal
the Peoples right to amend their own Constitution
to lake away from them, Gin perpetuity" the
Constitutional fortress Of freedoml
Inc southern traitors are out Of power, at a
distance from US, and cannot harm us. The North
ern traitors are in power, in our very midst, at
the Capitol, with the Government patronage, the
Army, the Navy, Treasury, and, as they think,
the State Legislatures at their bidding.
HO! Freemen, to the rescue! Noy-Now-
NOW! Or be slaves, with your p~osterity, forever!
Speak out, in thunder tones. And so speak that
the traitors shall be ~abashed, and COnfoundsd be-
fore ypu.-Prineipia.
