The NORTH GoING MAD.-The Mobile Reg

the present crises and commenting particularly
upon the fact that the policy of the administra-

Presidents Buchanan aud Fillamore, Gen. Cass,

Here is a representative man OF every
shade Of northern conservatism. We con-
fess that this coincidence aud simultaneous
ness of action on the part Of men who are
wider apart by their antecedents than ever
by their places of residence, takes us by
surprise. We endeaVor in vain to explain
it by the suppostion that these gentlemen
consider Lincoln's proclamation declara'
tion of war between GOnutry aud country,
in which they are not, as loyal citizens, per-
mtted to select sides according to their own
convictions as to the justice of the war.
Were this the explanation, why this hot

live upon wealth that no effort Of theirs has had
any hand in producing is necessarily the first

SATURDAY MORNING, MAYA, 1861.

BALrIMoRE, must be very nearly balanced,
between rebellion and union, as her changes Of
mood, can be accounted for on no other ground.
At the 6ght Oh Federal Hill, the unionists were
triumphant, the stars and stripes were defantly
kept flying and The secession gun thrown into
the dock. Since that, the rebels have had things
their own way. Now, again, the unionists are
represented as in the ascendant. The reaction
is overwhelming, and secessionist flags have dis
appeared, and we are told that the custom house
is TO be cleared Of traitors, aud the government
appoiutees to take their places. Some such
change as this would seem wholesome, for if
there is any point against which there is hid
den thunder in reserve" it is that same city of
Baltimore. Vengeance is sworn, and neither
the whiting traitor Hicks nor the perfdous
Mayor Brown, eau stave off its certain doom if
her course is not changed. The voice of the
loyal North, is unanimous, that the communica.
tion through that city shall be opened, and kept
open, and if the wiping out of the city is ueces.
sary to that end, amen. The alternative is q
change of programme or a terrible retribution.

ca The following is the concluding
portion of Hon. A. II. Stevens speech
at Richmond:
If there is a sin in our institutions,
we bear the blame, and will stand aquit-
ted by natural law and the higher law OF
the Creator. We stand upon the law OF
God and Nature. The Southern States
did not wish a resort to arms after seces-
sion, Mr.. Stevens alluded to the nego;i-
ations between Major Anderson and the
authorities of the Confederate States, to
demonstrate the proposition. History,
be said, if rightly written, would acquit
US Of a desire to shed our brothers blood.
The law OF necessity and ofright com
PEELED as to act as we did. He had rea-
son to believe the Creator smiled on it.
The Federal flag was taken down with
out the loss of a single life. He believed
that Providence would be with Us and
bless US to the end. We had appealed
to the God Of battles for the justness of
our cause. Madness and folly ruled at
Washington. Had # not been so, seve-
raj Of the states would have been in the
old Union for a year to come. The gods
first made mad those they would destroy.
Maryland would join US, and may be, ere
long, the principles that Washington
fought for might be again administered
in the city that bore bis name. Every
son Of the South, from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, should rally TO the sup
port of Maryland. II Lincoln quits
Washington as ANONYMOUSLY as he en-
tered it, God will will have been ac-
complished. The argument was now ex-
hausted. BE prepared; stand to your
arms defend your wives and fresides.
He alluded to the momeDtous consequent
ces of the issue involved. Rather than
be conquered, let every second man raj
ly to drive back the invader. The con
hiet may be terrible, but the victory will
be ours. Virginians, said he, you fight
for the preservation Of your sacred rights
the land of Patrick Henry-to keep
from desecration the tomb of Washing
ton, the graves OF Madison, jefferson, all
you hold most dear"
