Bslg" The history Of the world can furnish no
parallel to the state OF things existing between South
Carolina and the Federal Government. The Presi-
dent sworn to execute the laws and protect the pub
lie property, suffers South Carolina to violate one
and seize the othcr-pcrnrts Commissioners from
the rebellious State to bully and insult him in
Washington; suffers the secedcrs to fire upon a
United States vessel in the discharge Of its duties,
and yet remains quiet. To avoid trouble and re-
sponsibility the President agreed with the lea
ders of secession that they might dismemher tine
Observation-Disclosures South Carolina an ndcpeud-
ent sovereignty, and he would do nothing provided
they would not seize the Forts during his Admins
tration The world never looked upon such spec
tacle before, and future generations will be at loss
10 know whether Buchanan was drivclmg idiot
or u calculating traitor 1t is his sworn duty to
execute the laws, and he could not swcrve from
that duty without becoming pcrjured mnni he
however, not only swerved from that duty, but
agreed that the work of revolution might go or
provided the revolutonists would not give him any
trouble His professed anxiety to avoid the etusior
of blood is no apology for his conduct; his cours,
lay clear before him, and it was his duty to pursu

Rea. Since our last issue, the work of secession
has progressed mpiily. Mississippi, Florida, and
Alabama have taken the leap into the vortex of
revolution, and Louisiana promises soon to follow
them. Thus the work of ruin goes on and iurn-
ishes another startling proof of mans incapacity
for selE-government When such government as
ours-aowing the frccst scope for the development
his passions and fanatcisms the most sanguinc may
well despair Of the success of free government
The many seem destined to be the slaves Of the few
and il our experiment fail the argument will then
be conclusive in favor of strong government to hold
in check the evil passions Of the masses Dcmoc-
racy will then have proven Utopian idea-the off
spring of morbid philanthropy.

How Secession came Down IN Missouri.
A correspondent ofthe N. Y. Times writes the
following incidents;
The feeling, however, is less rancorous than l
had expected and treason here has not the intense
spirit here that it manifested further South. In
fact, secession in this State comes down with a
good grace when it finds selfovermatched Some
little incidents have heard which prove that this
good-humored philosophy is fact The Platte
Valley steamer was recently brought to, by the
guns of the st. Louis Arsenal with load of trait
ors and contraband The first shot, blank car.
fridge, produced no effect. The next was q shell
which was made to explode a little beyond the
boat and this also was disregarded. The third,
a large ball, passed just above her deck, between
the chimneys and the wheel house, and had the
effect to set the bell ringing and the whistle scream
ing, which signals of acquiesence were continued
until the boat reached the landing

little state of cotton South
Long lost in sad depression,
Did all at once repUdiate,
And come out for secession.
Rer sister States all blindly led,
And in for new c0nce8s on,
Soon follow in her shallow wake
And pitch in for Secession.
Since such example has been set,
There is slight depression,
And ev'ry man throughout the North
Takes umbrage at secession.
First all the banks are out Of joint,
Ageneral compression,
Then wheat goes down and " stuo'ptaII" up,
Just merely for secession
The South was jubilant while,
The North for quick repression.
Old JEFF. found out he'd played the fool,
To dgitdte secession.
80 oRhe quickly sends his tools,
To spy out this suppression,
And If the North would say for peace,
HID dry up this secession.
He wants a constitution made,
Upon the plan-progression,
Then soon as anything comes up,
He'll dodge it by secession.
Let's have the thing all settled up,
With judgment and discretion
Not by concessions from the North,
To recognize-secession.
