The spi,it of the President.

Accounts from Washington continually
state that the vacillating course of the
President prevents any effective measures
for maintaining the Government. Some
times he is groomed up to a sufficient stiff
ness to order endorsements to a fort, and
then be willis and countermands them; or
he sends re. endorsements in one vessel, and
dispatches another to bring her back. Now
he orders troops to Fort Pickens, and then
he orders a steamer of war to cruise off the
harbor to prevent any war-vessel of the Gulf
feet from going in there, lest they might fire
the Southern heart.
Now he permits Gen. Scott to order
troops to Washington, and then he counter
mands it. He permits Fort Monroe to be
garrisoned and then he wants to withdraw
the garrison because Virginia wants the fort.
And in his most vigorous mood, such as the
Ohio Legislature "hailed with JOY" he aims
at nothing further than TO allow the insur-
gents to make all their arrangements unmo-
Tested to overthrow the Government and
take the forts provided it is not done till after
his time.
He is willing to permit them to take all
the Southern arsenals and ungarrisoned forts,
and TO erect batteries to take the rest on the
4th of March, provided they will wait until
that time; and he would gladly withdraw
the garrisons from Forts Sumter and Pickens
if he did not fear that it might possibly cause
him to be impeached. Therefore, he has
entered into negotiations with the enemy, to
persuade them to postpone their operations
till his term expires; in the mean time al
lowing them to erect batteries under the
very guns of the forts to attack them.
Visitors to the President recently, have
noticed that he has grown careless in his
dress, in which he used to be extremely nice,
and that his hands are shaky, and his nerv-
Gus system seems shattered. This suggests
that his vacilation, which now is firm, aad
now cOwardly; now treacherous, and now
maudlin, is the consequence of something
beside his usual weakness, and that habit,
which in ordinary times his strong constitu.
tion kept within bounds, has now, with his
other troubles, overcome him. This is the
only reasonable solution of his conduct ant
appearance, and this will exactly accoun
for his course.
1t is mortifying to people whose institr
tions are the model for all the world, AM
who have monopolized what capacity 70
self government there is in mankind, an,
who by our common consent have the mos
glorious fabric of Government on which tn
sun ever shone, and the strongest Govern
: ment in the world, because it is founded i
the consent of the people-it is mortifyin
to think that the fate of this glorious Gov
ernment may hang on single nipper {

VIRGINIA begins to put on antics already
over the focking of the Northern Commis-
sioners, like parcel of frightened sheep, to
meet ber demands. She proposes to demand,
as preliminary to any negotiations, that the
Convention require the troops to be with
drawn from Washington. Withdraw them,
of course Troops to defend the Capital is
coercion; and in the brave words of the
untsrrifed Democracy of Ohio, "not until
the free States have fulfilled all their duties
to the Constitution and the South, will it be
time to consider the right of coercion"

Alabama Negro philanthropy.

Alabama has suddenly grown conscien-
tious on the slave-trade, and has resolved
that its prohibition ought to be perpetual.
This is tub thrown to a Border-State
whale. The Alabamian must think the Bor
der States very youDg birds, to be caught
with such chat. The slave, trade was not
opened by the Secession of Alabama. En-
gland, France and the other great powers
have that in charge. There was no call for
any ordinance from Alabama. But slaves
are smuggled into any country where they
will find market; and as it has already
been thoroughly demonstrated that no
slave-trader can be convicted in the Cotton
States, nor smuggled slaves recaptured, or
meddled with, it will make no difference
how many ordinances Alabama passes to
halt the Border States. A Southern Con-
federacy means cheap negroes.

The Nenter YncnhuInrY,

They have a new nomenclature in the
Legislature. The Conservative Republicans
call those who refuse to sacrifice the Consti-
tuition to Southern threats, disuuionists.
Members actually show uneasiness under
this slang of sneaking cowardice, and get
up and assert their fidelity to the Union. 1t
seems that there is Union which is higher
than the Constitution; and that to break
down the Constitution is the test of loyalty
TO the Union. What a nice capacity for
self-government we have arrived at, when
the Union is set up as a golden calf, on
whose altar Constitution, equal rights and
self-respect are 10 be sacrificed.
1t is we'll known that when men are made
conservative for domestic uses in Oriental
haIems they become cunning, sneaking,
treacherous and cowardy. Is it not SO
when men become political conservatives
ly divesting themselves of all positive quail
ities? What pretext of principle is shown
OF can be defined, by the so called Coaserva-
tives in the Ohio Legislature, except treach-
cry TO their fellow Republicans, aud low
cunning devices to place them at disad-
yantoge?

were, as is stated by the veracious historian,
"incontinent hard swearers;" but the de-
votioDal exploits of all these seem destined
to be outdone by corps of gallant Minute

number-as we are informed by the tele-
graph, drill nightly, swearing fidelity to the

pretty fair swearing ability, this nightly

them into body of most formidable bias

Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-02-02

Ii the New York Tribune, which processes
to speak from positive knowledge, is to be
believed, Mr.. Linceln is utterly opposed to
concessions and compromises; regarding
every thing of that kind as departure from
the spirit of the Constitution, subversive of
government, and tending TO aggravate and
continue the present disorders. And yet our
Republican Legislature provides for sending
a commission to a body called for the ex-
press purpose of devising concessions aud
begetting compromises; and our Republican
Governor, after selecting with much marvel
GUS ingenuity within, goes even outside his
own party, to find superlative material for
compromisers.
If Mr. Lincoln is the man the people-not
the party politicians hope he is, he will not
be troubled at this marked disregard of his
wishes by the heads of the party by which he
was elected. If he uses it rightly it is the
most fortunate circumstance that could have
happened. He is discharged at once of his
responsibility to them, and gets rid of all
community of interest with them before the
day of Inauguration arrives. 1t will relieve
him of vast weight in the formation of his
government and of the materials Of discord
and perplexity during its continuance.

rho seonnd Cnptnre OF washInEton.


Eveiy day or two we hear that General
Scott has now made such dispositions that
the Capital is safe from attack. We look at
the particulars and find that company Of
marines or of artillery has arrived at Wash
ipgton. Governor Wise threatens it with 2O,-
900 men, and it is known that Virginia has
been doing large military business ever
since John Brown captivated that State. The
number proposed by Governor Wise is not
at all improbable, and there is a secret Or
ganization throughout Maryland and the
other States. A conspiracy may cut off
telegraph and railroad communication be-
tween Washington and the free States and
bring ten or twenty thousand around Wash
ipgton on. any given day; and even while
they are marching on the Capital and actu
ally surrounding it, the Government must
not interfere because that would be coercion,
and fire the Southern heart, and make re-
Cancellation impossible, and all that sort of
thing. Yet people talk as if the arrival Of
fifty or sixty men at Washington had made
it perfectly secure.
General Scott has not more than 900
men at Washington, and he can not
have more than 800 there at the inau-
euration, if the attack is delayed so long
as that, unless the Government calls for
volunteers. How can 800 men protect that
city of magnificent distances, which may be
surrounded by any number that is required
to make resistance uselessP The different
public buildings furnish strong places where,
| if lodgment were effected by the insurg-
ents, nothing but battering them down with
artillery could dislodge them. Gen. Scott
has not men enough to spare to guard these
separately, and they could be seized before
the President would dare to allow him to
use coercion.
Washington can not be defended against
ary determined attack, without force large
enough to take up positions which would
prevent any near approach to the city from
every direction. AS soon as a lodgment il
made within the city, it will have to be sur.
rendered.
In the mean time the English language
under the influence OF Secession, has seeded
