Mr.. w1GFALLs EXPULSION FROM
THE SENATE.

The resolution offered in the Senate to-day,
by Mr.. Foster, that Mr.. Wigfall be expelled
from the body, on the ground that he had dis
claimed all allegiance to the United States,
was postponed for further consideration to.
morrow. We do not understand why the Sen.
ator from Texas should be alone, of all the
Senators from seeding States, subjected to
this extreme measure. The most ultra dis.
union sentiments have been proclaimed all
through the session by Southern gentlemen,
almost without rebuke, and with no action
being taken in the premises. Senators from
six States have formally withdrawn from the
deliberations Of that body on the distinct
ground that their allegiance was due to States
which had seeded from the Confederacy, and
they arc still numbered among the members
Of the Senate. Mr.. Mason, in almost every
word which he utters, does not hesitate to avow
that the claims of his "honored State" upon
him are paramount to those Of the United
States and that he is doing all in his power to
break up the Union. We do not see why fish
should be made of one, and fowl Of another. II
secession is unconstitutional, they have all been
equally guilty, and all should be treated alike.
In our view, the question should have been
put distinctly to all the Senators who have left,
at the time of their leaving if this act Of theirs
was to be understood as their resignation Of the
office of Senator. If they refused formally to
resign, steps should have been taken to compel
their attendance on the body, and, in default
thereof, their seats should have been declared
vacant. The expulsion of poor Wigfall at this
late day, because he is less cautious in his Ian
guage than other Senators who hold to the
same doctrine, and who are much more dan.
gerous, would seem like flying at rather small
game and as he is greatly amusing, and withal
comparatively harmless, we are opposed to
giving him any greater notoriety, or e1alting
him into martyr.

A LARGE JOR

The Psnnsylranian, published in Philadel-
phia, which conspicuously parades at the head
of its editorial columns that "it has larger
circulation in the South than all the other pa.
pers in this city" is very much troubled about
an " "antiSlavery war" which it is confident the
present Administration intends to inaugurate,
and proclaims to its Southern allies and con.
federates in the grateful work of the dissolution
Of the Federal Union, that "In such a war,
Democrats can never be soldiers on the SHINING
side. They will not only not join the Repub.
cans in it, but they will put it down."
The pretended proclamation of war issued
by Mr.. Lincoln in his inaugural hath this eI.
tent, no more:
"The power con6ded to me will be used to
hold, occupy, and possess, the property and
places belonging to the Government, and to
collect the duties and imposts; but beyond
what may be necessary for these objects, there
will be no invason-no using Of force against
or among the people anywhere"
Will our excited contemporary be good
enough to specify in what respects the calm
and pacific policy, thus announced, to support
the Constitution and maintain the laws, which
comes manifesty within the purview of his
official oath, differs from that of Mr. Buchanan
and his Democratic Cabinet, policy which
has received an almost unanimous response
from the North, without regard to party. Does
this bellicose writer, whose sympathies SO evi.
IDENTITY go with the circulation of his paper,
intend to "put down" Mr.. Buchanan, Judge
Black, Mr. Holt, Mr.. Douglas, and all the
Northern Democrats who take substantially
the same ground, aud who proclaim their ad.
herence to the Union, as we'll as all the Southern
men who are actuated by like sentiments-put
them down with the whole Republican party
of the country? Has not the Psnnsylranian
little over-estimated its military resources ?
We expect it will have happy time of it, put.
ting down all the Union men throughout the
length and breadth of the land. We advise
Southern readers of a few pestiential secession
sheets of the North, not to put implicit conf
dence in the promises of aid and sympathy SC
literally made to the ear, but which are des
tined to be most ingoriousy, broken to the
hope.

A MILITARY DESPOTISM FOR THE
SOUTH.

The Southern secession papers are endeavor.
ing to impress the minds of the people of the
South with the necessity of military dictation
by forcing the meaning Of the Presidents in.
augural into declaration Of an intention 10
open an aggressive war upon the South. In
this they wilfully misrepresent both the words
and the intention of that document.
Mr.. Lincoln, as the executive head Of the
Government intends simply to fulfill all the
obligations which the people have imposed
upon him by his official oath, among which are
the execution of the laws, and the safe keep
ing of all property belonging to the United
States.
Now, suppose Mr. Lincoln were to do what
these crafty politicians wish, namely, give up
all claim to the United States property in the
seeded States, sanction the robbing of the
Mint, the firing upon the United States flag,
and other ouLrages, should we have Govern.
ment at all If the Government of the United
States is to exist any longer it must be by those
very means which Mr.. Lincoln points out in
his inaugural, and not bysanctioning treason.
If they do not suit the political leaders Of the
South, it cannot be helped the interests Of
the country are too vast and have been too
long enjoyed by all its citizens to permit them
to do otherwise than endorse the policy of the
inaugural.
If that policy is to bo made the pretext for
base politicians to ride roughshod over the lib.
critics and peace of the Southern people, and
they allow them to establish military despot.
ism over them, it is their business, not ours.
They must suffer, and when that suffering
comes, they will discover that in supporting
treason they have resigned their liberties into
the hands of traitors.
