The SEcEDED PoRrs.-Representa have
been made TO the Secretary of State, by Lord
Lyons, and by the Representatives here Of
other foreign Powers, upon the points, of the
embarrassment of foreign vessels entering
Charleston with dutiable csrgoes, and Of the
destruction Of the buoys and extingushment
Of the lights in that harbor and its approaches.
The substance Of the Secretarys reply is tele-
graphed as follows:
"Secretary Black quotes from the law to
show that the Jurisdiction Of the Federal Gov.
eminent to impose duties on goods imported
into the limits Of the United States and collect
duties is exclusive. Whether the state Of at
fairs now existing at Charleston will or will not
be regarded as sufficient reason for not exc.
cutting the penalties incurred by British sub.
jects, is q question, says the Secretary, which
Lord Lyons will see no necessity for raising,
until it practically arises. Each case will, no
doubt, have its peculiarities, and Secretary
Black regrets that this consideration compels
him TO decline giving any assurances on the
points presented. The Treasury Department,
he says, will give public information as to the
condition in which South Carolina has put the
coast" .....

HOW TO PRESERVE THE UNION.

HOW TO PRESERVE THE UNION.
From the Springfield (Tll.) Journal Of January 2s.
awe have been charged by our enemies with
favoring the inequality Of the black and white
races, with design to interfere with slavery in
the States where 1t lawfully exists, with oppo-
sition TO the admission of any more slave
States-with determination to deny TO the
South the benefit Of q fugitive slave law--with
aiding and melting slaves 70 escape from their
masters, with approving of the raid of John
Brown, and, finally, with cherishing hatred to-
ward our Southern brethren. Each and every
one OF the above charges are base falsehoods.
1t was dishonorable in our enemies 10 stoop so
low to conquer in the recent campaign Il is
criminal to reiterate those charges noto. The
Union Of the States still loyal to the Constitu.
States which have so unwsely attempted to Sc
cede-the avoidance Of civil war-the saliva
tion Of the Government, and the restoration
Of fraternal affection, all depend, in Q great
measure, upon true understanding of the posi-
tion Of the Republican party by the people Of
the Southern States. To preserve interests
so vast, and to bring about results 30 earnestly
desired by all good men, may we not cherish
the hope that the honest and patriotic men of
the opposing parties, North and South, will
take some pains to post themselves rs to the real
principles, aims, and objects, of the Republican
organization 1t would be q little matter to
print the Republican platform in the leading
Southern papers, and to accompany it with the
questions proposed by Mr.. Douglas to Mr.. Lin.
coin, and his (Linco1n's) answers thereto. If
this could be done, the Southern people would
at once understand that the Republican party
does not favor the equality of the black and
white races-does not oppose the admission Of
more slave States-does not propose to inter-
fere with slavery in the States where it lawfully
exists-does not propose to deny to the South
the benefit Of fugitive slave law-is not in
favor Of melting slaves to escape, nor in aiding
them in doing so-did not approve Of John
Browns invasion of Virginia, but severely con-
demned it-and, finally, does not cherish hatred
toward the people Of the South, nor seek to de-
prive them of any constitutional right"

Omniscience only can tell, but is there any one

presented of any one man out of the ten mil

States, who is laboring under any oppression,
wrong, injustice, or grievance, that cannot be
redressed in the Union, and can be redressed
out of the Union, then will pledge myself to

A MODEL MEETING.

Certain people in the adjoining county of
Prince George, in Maryland, which county has
in it, all told, some eleven thousand whites and
as many slaves, held a meeting at Upper Mari,
boro', on Tuesday, and adopted set of resolu.
tions, of which the points are thus given in the
Baltimore Sun:
al. Approving of the Crittenden compro.
mise. 2. That said compromise is the least
the South can take, and, unless conceded by
the North, the slaveholding States ought not to
remain in the Union. 3. That inaction in this
State, now, is equivalent to handing her over
to the North. A. That Maryland will assert
her right to jurisdiction over the District of
Columbia, in case of dissolution of the Union.
5. Denouncing Gov. Hicks representations
that the people of the State intended to seize
the District by force. 6. Declaring that Mary
land and Virg ginia must remain in the same
coufederacy. T. Denouncing the armament
of forts in Maryland and Virginia, and the con.
centraton of troops in the District of Columbia,
as dangerous to the liberties of the people. 8.
Repudiating Gov. Hicks appointment of COM
missioners to represent this State, an usur-
patton of power, and appointing committee
to request the Virginia commissioners not to
receive them officially. 9. Declaring that the
destiny of Maryland is with the South under
all circumstances, and that any attempt to
throw her into Northern confederscy should
be resisted to the last extremity"
This is fair sample of the incoherent nom
sense of all the disunionists in Maryland, from
Senator Kennedy down.
These people mean to 60 out unless the Crit
tenden resolutions are adopted, but whether
they are adopted or not they mean to go with
the South, and to follow Virginia out. In short,
they evidently want to 60 out as the phrase is,
anyhoW.
In one resolution they declare their purpose,
if they can carry majority of the people Of
Maryland with them, to seize this District, and
in another resolution, they denounce Gov.
Hicks for presuming to think that anybody in
tends any such thing as the seizure of this
District.
They consider it most dangerous to the lib
erty of the people that troops. should be con-
centrated in this District, meaning, we suppose
that it is an obstruction to the liberty of seizing
upon it, in which certain people have been pro.
posing to indulge, whenever it suited their
purposes.

Mr.. ADAMs's SPEECH.-Mr. Adamss speech,
made in the House on Thursday, is published
in this paper. 1t needs no other recommends
ton than its own merits but as we prefer to
praise it in the language of one of his political
opponents, we cut the following from the Star
of yesterday:
The conservative speech Of Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams was the feature Of the proceed.
ings of the House. 1t was certainly an orator.
ical effort worthy Of the statesman's blood that
courses in its authors veins. Its vigor, tone,
and temper, were in excellent keeping with the
vigor, tone, and temper, that characterized the
eloquence Of his grandfather, when struggling
hand in hand with George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson, to work out the liberties and
construct the Government, the continued ex.
istence of which he-the grandson-is now so
patriotically, ably, and eloquently defending"

matters there:
"Maj. Anderson, it is believed here, is adding
greatly to the strength of his position. He has
dug a mine under the causeway leading to the
gate of his donjon, and will blow up the
first company that attempts an escalade. This
he can easily do without injuring himself or
his fertilization. At the points, however, that
bear upon Sumter, South Carolina still con-
tinues to concentrate her forces, and when the

Martial Law and its Incidents.

The Louisville Journal complains of the
proclamation Of Major General Fremont,
principally upon the ground of its declara-
tion of martial law, and suspension of the
hoJeds corpus. The Louisville Journal does
not seem to be aware that we are now living
in the days of dictatorsbip-a dictatorship
not of ambition, nor of deliberation, but of
imperious and inevitable fact. The Govern
ment has declared its determination to do
thus and thus. The Louisville Journal and
the press and the people of the North have
affirmed that the Government is right in its
determination. In order to carry out the
programme, a rule that shall override every
thing of institution or prescription which
stands in the path of its operations, and
knows no law but the paramount law of its
own wants and necessities, is indispensable.
If the Union is to be restored, there is
only one question: What is required to re-
store it2s And this is a question whose set
Element is in the discretion of those to whom
the work is committed. All who oppose its
restoration are enemies to that cause. Wher-
ever there are enemies, effectual means must
be taken to see that the cause receives no
injury at their hands. These means are mil
itary means. In such an agency the civil
tribunals and their officers are powerless.
The question as to the choice of instrument
alities, is simply: What one is capable to do
the work? If the civil authorities can not
do it, the militsry must. If established
forms and fixed precedents are too narrow,
the last but the very next resort is to an
unbounded discretion--a dictatorship.
We must face our facts. Our Constitution,
blessed and glorious as it is, must be laid on
the shelf until called for. We must swallow
all our solemn truisms about military die
tators-even to the terrific climax of "war,
pestilence and fsmine"-and take with what
cheerfalness We can, the only implement the
gods provide: praying but for prompt
service and speedy deliverance.

Affairs at Harper's Ferry.
The Sandy Hook correspondent of tbs

Inc SANDY HOOK. correspondent VI tue
Washington Star of September l says:
We have here, occasionally, visits from
some of the few citizens left at Harper's
Ferry. They report that there is Home
Guard of eighty. five mounted men ('secesh')
securing the town and vicinity all the time.
Colonel Ashby's Black Horse Cavalry is in the
neighborhood of Charlestown, and they are
very active in hunting down Union men.
Colonel Ashby, with two hundred Of his
troop, came down into Harper's Ferry day
or two since, and tried to induce the few
Armory hands left, to GO. to Richmond to
work. These Armory hands have been treated
with great consideration, whether they were
Union men or Secesh, and none OF them have
been pressed into the military service Of the
Confederacy, but they have been "coaxed" I"
to go to Richmond to work in the Armory.
Extravagant wages are offered to them,
ranging from So to So per day. Some of
them could not resist the temptation, and it
is safe to say that more than half the men
formerly employed in the Armory here have
gone to Richmond, although large majority
of the workmen were Union men. Those
that have gone to Richmond, write that they
are paid off every week, but in Virginia
money. OF course this weekly paying off is
temporary arrangement, to rope in those
who are still at Harper's Ferry in doubt.
Many of the workmen are at work, hear,
at the Arsenal in your city, having resisted
the seductiors of Colonel Ashby and other
promising officers. There is some firing oc
casionally, between our side of the river and
t'olher side, but it does not amount to any
thing,

The Spirit Of Persecution.

1t is probable that if at this time, the con-
ductor Of public journal were gifted with
such constancy ss to be able to hold the
scales ofjustice equally and exactly between
the parties considering, without passion or
prejudice, the case in its simple elements
and stating his conclusions with entire i'm
partia!ity-he would find it not easy to es-
cape the hatred of either. Standing still
while every thing around him was moving,
ne would be condemned as prodigy of in
consistency, an lshmael, &C., unsafe as g
irlend and dangerous as an enemy, traitor
to both parties, whom each, for the sake o
its own safety, should destroy.
Fortunately for the future hopes of tn,
human race, there are none who are giftet
with steadiness and impassivity to circum
stances necessary to the performance of feat
so extraordinary. Having no use for sue
persons, the world does not produce them
ana all the knowledge we have of their e1
istence is through some obscure tradition
ages long past, or some shadowy ideal to |
realized in times far in the future.
The true representative man, in times liz
these, is he who drifts with the current: VII
makes up his principles to-day, and maxi
them up again to morrow; who takes h
color as the chameleon does, from the objec
that surround him, and thinks il no sign {
inconsistency, because he happens to be blu
to-day, that he was red yesterday, or gree
the day before.
They who being blue to- day were red yei
terday, are not, however, the parties to diI

opir ions are most prone TO give themselves
credit for the greatest stability.
The bad feature in the case is this; they
who are least constant, are also least tolerant.
The newest convert is always the greatest
ztalot; and the multitude is never so prone
10 persecute for an opinion as when they
have just accepted IL. To persecute for one
set of opinions in one week, and for their
opposite the next, is no unknown thing in
the history of human affairs; because perse-
cution ia process which men adopt in order
to confirm themselves in opinions, in respect
to which they still doubt, in spite of them
selves. A prosecuting spirit is, therefore,
always evidence of the unsoundness of the
doctrine or idea in respect to which it is in
dulged.
