The following article from the Cincinnati
Comnerrial, Blsrk-Rspubliesn Union organ,
is worth reading "Current events and expe-
risnes" Ehieb Mr. lincoln, in bis inaugural,
said might change bis policy az snnounesd in
that documsHt, are beginning to have their in
h1sncs upon some Of the northern freedom
shriekers.
The intelligent reader win observe many er-
Eonsous statements OF the facts in the Commsr-
eiGPs article which it is unnecessary for Us
here to point out:
The STATE OF THE CoUETRT.-Senator
Dongias said in bis recent speech
''ln ny opinion we must choose, and that
promptiy, between one Of three lines Of policy:
1. The restoration sni preservation Of the
Union By such smsndmeut to the Constitution
as viii insure the domestic tranquility, safety,
and equality Ct al the States, and thus restore
peacs, unity and fraternity to the whole eoun-
try
2. A peaceful dissslution Of the Union, by
recognizing the Independence Of such States al
refuse to remain In the Union without such con
sttutionsl Amendments, and the establishment
q a liberal system Of commercial and social
intercourse with them by treaties Of commerce
and amity.
3. War, with view to the Bubiugstion and
military occupation Of thoss States which have
seeded OF may ssesds from the Union"
Mr.. Douglas does not state the case as we
would DO, but there is an approximation to the
truth iE WHIST be says Considering the hrst
line of uolicT which be indicates land which is
the one that be maintains should be adopted,
there are no constitutional amendments that
Would al once restore the whole country to
peace, unity and fraternity n the old Consti-
tuition would not unite as 10 peace and frater-
nifty, q new one would not-for that which
would satisfy the cotton States, could not, In
seif-respect and honor. be conceded to or sRb-
uiited 20 By the koTth. Mr. Douglas hrst
proposition is simply for the frieBds Of the
Government to Eubmit to itE enemies. When
ever, il ever, the cotton States return to the
Union, it must be over the dead bodies Of the
Sseessionists. This result is a question OF
tine We must wait pstiently for the opera
ton Of the laws that are self enforcing. War,
for the suhjugation Of the secedsrs, would be
unWise and deplorsble. There is no province
ln the world conquered and held BY military
force, that is not a weakness TO its master.

which has for centuries been q national pas

her monstrous national debt, were occasioned
bT the pride of her aristoeraey and the in
trigues q her politicians, and were not, With
en- exception or two, IN The interest Of her Peo-
pie. India, upon which she bad layished Der

that territory which is absolutely worthless to
the Austrisns, and fettsrs her armies in the
ousdrilateral The history Of The world GER
tsinlv proves that it is not profitable to govern
people without their consent.
Tie Logical lesson Of this fact in this coun-
try, is thss il there are two nations here who
have been living ia an unnatural Uni0Rs they
shoBld. Tor tie beIfft Of one Or both, be sePa-
rated. We DO not entertain the opinion that
forced alliance betWeeD sutagOnistic national
fsss has existed IN the Union which our fath-
ers msde. We believe, whstsver the difference
IN domestic institutions, in temperament, IN
sell and climate, and in ideas Of local govern
nsut. TO Be found within the limits OF The land
that each Interest was secure within the Union,
and that all sections were more prosperous and
happy within than they can be without the
Union.
