THE WAR.

The news from all points in the Union, in
Guiding the seeded States is of intense int
est. The seventy-fve thousand volunteers
required by the President to maintain the in
tegrity of the Government have been nearly
all offered from the Northern States, and
loans of money have been preferred voluntari-
ly, by banks and capitalists.
A similar spirit seems to animate the peo-
pie of the seeded States. Volunteers are
pouring in to the call OF the secession Gov.
eminent, and loans of money are as freely
offered as at the North. Immense prepare.
tions are beng made on both sides to pros.
ecute this unnatural war in comparison to
which the wars of the Roses, the Thirty years
war in Germany and the horrible butchery Of
the French Revolution will fade into ihsig-
ni6cance, if the armies now being raised on
both sides should meet on the field of bat tie.
And this result will be inevitable, should no
effort be made to prevent it.
Wonderful it u.s. deplorable to the last de.
gree that no one of Influence on either side
attempts to settle amicably the unnatural
strife and prevent the barbarous horrors
which cannot be avoided should the brothers
and kindred now in arms against each other
be suffered to meet in conflict. Is there no
one left among us North or South, whose pa.

Depreciation Of Stocks.

Stocks of nearly every de ;cription
have been on the decline for two weeks
past in anticipation of the events which
are occurring at Charleston. There is
scarcely any doubt but these occurren-
ces will depreciate stocks very much
and consequently all Banks of issue
whose paper is founded upon these Sc
curities will 60 down. People may ex-
pect therefore to hear any NON ent that
almost every Bank in Wisconsin and
Illinois has, temporarily, at last sus-
pended, or gone by the board.
Our readers need no advice from us
as to their course on the currency
question. We only repeat that given
often before to discountenance all paper
money founded upon Auctuating secu-
rites.

BE CALM.

The public mind is very naturally excited,
nay, almost phrensied, at the occurrences
which have taken place in Charleston har-
Dor. Some have suffered themselves to be
Carried away by this excitement so far as to
indulge in expressions the result of emotions
which are well calculated to produce dsas-
trols consequences even away here, far
distant from the scene of conflict Ibis is
not the time for men to give way to the play
of their Passions; this not the time to indulge
in harshnes Of expression: nor in the Ian
guags of proyocation, nor elimination and
recrimination. Oar country is Involved in
civil war Our countrymen are shedding
each others blood and taking each others
lives, in the name Of liberty, Right and Pat
riotism; AMI instead of soading those on who
are rushing, blindly, madly, turously and
recklessly into the fratriciaal butchery, the
duty OF those who can control their feelings
and in whose power it is to prevent the effu-
sion of brothers blood and to even restore
peace a I'd good will among them. is to col
suit together calmly, disraSsionately and with
the familiarity of confidence, for the best in
terests of the country.
No matter now who was wrong in bringing
about the unfortunate conflict which asitatcs
the public aud irritates the pulsat;ons of the
public heart Let that question not be dis
cussed in the present passionate condition Of
public mind There will be another and more
appropriate time tor that Now is the time
to perform one of the most solemn duties o.
citizenship, and not the groveling deeds o.
partisanShip; and that man, whoever he may
be, who, under the influence of partisan in
stincts, would now fan the flame of excite
ment and irritats the passions which are
already dashed into fury, should be treated
rs a mad man. 4 few such men-even one
such man-mght be the cause, in any cem-
munity which is under the influence of excl
ted passions, to plunge into all the horrors
and dcvastations of civil war.
I've therefore advise camness in discussion
tolerance of conflicting opinions when they
happen to be expressed, the avoidance of Ian,
guage which may lead to the provocation of
violence, and forbearancc with each other in
everything when it can be made virtue

COERCION.

Some of the infamous wretchcs
that have for all their lives lived
in open and avowed opposition to
one of the plainest provisions of
the Constitution of the U. S., and
one that Lincoln in his inaugural
says is as plainly written as any
in that sacred instrument for the
rendition Of fugitive Slares,) talk
Of coercing the Plain Dealer to
support Republicanism. Demo-
Gratis need no coercion to induce
them to support the Constitution
and never array themselves against
their government, no matter by
whose folly involved in difficulty.
1t has always been their boosted
privilege to stand by the govern
ment, "right or wrong" Such
was their course in the Mexican
war, and such it will be in every
conflict. 1t is left for the oppo-
sition to sympathize with the foes
of the government, and pray that
they may be "welcomed with
bloody hands to hospitable graves.
Democrats will never pluck the
brand of infamy from their brow.

"Thank God we have not kept up a
war of opinion upon slavery for twenty
FIVE years, for nothing"
True enough; but thank God
there are still Democrats enough
left to defend the honor and in
tegrity of the government, and
defeat your designs upon the
South, and your treason to the
highest hopes of man. They will
first rescue the government from
its intricacies, and restore it to its
original objects, the protection of
the rights of whits men in the gov
eminent; then they will balance
the fearful account with you.

IMPENDING DlFFIC ULTIES.

ger ahead, to us. the future is full
of gloom. Unaccustomed to shape
the dcstiuies Of a great people and
guide the wheels of government,
we find the masses of that party
still clinging to impracticable alb
stractions, and by the overpow-
ering influence of an outside
pressure driving us rapidly on to
ruin. In this emergency it is the
duty of every lover Of liberty to
restrain the South from violating
and trampling upon the Consti-
tuition, but beyond that we have
no right to go, and cannot so,
without violating the instrument
we profess to defend. There is
no constitutional warranty for re-
duciny them to subjugated prov
ince in the government, and moth
ing but the most devilish vic ked-
II ess could prompt men to threat
en-, as we have heard abolitionists
here within the past few days,
"that now, is the suspicious mo-
ment to forever cxtinguish sla-
very" This will be one of the du-
ties Of the Democracy: while
pre- venting the South from tramp
ling on our rights, to also, dis
countenance every NOV ement on
the part ofabolitio nists here, to
interfere with their domestic rela-
tons. We of the North charge
the seeding states with violating
the Constitution; it will not do for
us in turn to violate it further in
behalf of negro freedom.
We of the North talk glibly of
blockading the ports of the South.
This will be no pleasant task,
even if we have the strength to
accomplish it.
First, The Constitution pro-
vides that:
"No preference shall be given by any reg
ulation of commerce or ~erenue to the ports
of one State over another
This does not give the power to
shut the ports of one section
while thos" Of the other are left
open. And the power to shut all
the ports, as was done in 1912,
does not exist,-and the exercise
of which then, created such in
dignation in the New England
states as to be the moving cause
that brought about the Hartford
Convention. Another objection,
and one that exp lains the appear
ance upon our coast of vessels of
war from France and Great Brit
ian is, that we have treaties of com
merce with them, that cannot be
violated by shutting up southern
ports. These treaties open up
all the ports of the US to those
countries on equal terms. The
course they intend to pursue is
plain, having the right of entry
stipulated, it is their design to en-
force its observance to English
merchant men by a Man-of-War,
and so with France.
If these states are in the Union
then the Constitution does not al
low us to blockade their ports,
while it will compel us to observe
our treaty stipulations. So long
as we treat them as rebels we
must protect foreign commerce in their
ports, and put no disabilities upon it,
that does not apply in other ports.
