sion that the people Of the cotton States D
longer regard a reeonstruetioR Of the old Unto
as either practicable OF desirable. They hav
arrived a. this conclusion with slow and relue
tsnt steps, and sullenly contemplate the disas
trous consequences which viii naturally follo7
20 the material interests OF their section
Visions Of dscayed wealth and ruined graudeu
rise up before them. The political subordina
tion, Commercial vassslsgs and tributarl
revenue Of the South to the North have stimuli
tsne0usly CEASED. For the future the northern
e0rmorsnts, who have fed upon fat contract
n oily lots from the Federal Government
must prey upon the vitals OF the Northern
Confedersey alone. The scant and neagr
fare thus presented, does Dot tempt their fas
udious sPpstites, nor promise bountful ban
qusts. The professed politicians Of TIE North
Wit have made politics a trade, and rely upor
ohelsl salaries for a living, and peeulationl
for wealth, naturally shudder at the prospee
Of this vast diminutioR Of the contents Of Ia
Plblie crib. They have determined to eheel
any further Withdrawals Of those who con.
tribute titbe-money and 1.-THE offerings. How
10 &c it, is the question which now exercises
their minds and taxes their Ingenuity. Fol
this purpose they would sacrifice anything
except their party platform, FOR with the losi
Of this would vanish their claims TO power
and to the spells which an the grasp Of ID,
victers. Outside Of this ak Of the abolition
covenant which was borne before theii
triumphant hosts, there is nothing which tbsy
win not grant. or premise TO grant, to accom-.
plish their purpose Of retaining the border
slave States in the Union. Whatever may b
their ulterior designs against the institutions
of these States. If cannot be questioned thai
their present earnest object is to retain
them under their domination. To use
tie language Of a Black Republican
writer, Mr.. LINCOLN viii make desperaf,
Efforts 10 preserve The border slave states to
the Union" EmolHsnts and soothing appli-
cations viii be applied to their bodies polite.
Glittsring prizes viii be held out to allure the
ambitions and tempt the venal. "No obnox-
ious strangers viii be sent among them to I'll
the local ohees," but care will be taken tha'
the fssf be applied; nor viii any political OF
Judicial appointments be conferred upon those
who viii not openly OF taeitlT subscribe to the
Chicago platform. Such open traitors to their
section as ETEKRIDeE viii be p~snsioned with
foreign appointments, 50 soon as it is ascer-
tanned that they cannot plant their poisonous
doctrines al home, and are rejected By those
whom theyhavs betrayed. The Blaek-Rspub-
lieHns 60 not desire to lose their services in
The effort to corrupt the sentiments Of their
constituents, and sbolitiOnizs the people who
viii be contaminated By their presence, if they
endure Il quietly. It is not necessary, in every
instance, actually to confer an Office upon
those whom they would sejuce into a quasi
support, OF at least whose vigorous opposition
they would silence. A device similar to that
pursued in the case OF JoHS J.. C~RIrrEEDEE
viii frequently Be successful. This aged maH,
ones vsnsratsd BY the South, whose rsnown
was dear to Kentucky, and whose influence
ameng a certain class Of politicians and par
tzEns was second to none, was approached
with tenders Of an important Judicial station,
and IS soon as bis acceptance was
Eiguihsd, the Information was disseuina-
ted throughout the border States, that
this fsvorits son was 10 Be honored
By the Administration, and would accept IA
vors AZ its hand. LuscoLE, SEwARD, CHASE
q CO. never intended that be should actually
don the srmins, bu. they desired to procure
the moral influence which bic signifed accept
anes would give them in bic section, and also
to silence forever any opposition, which might
otherwise have sprung froz this source in the
futars. The veteran fell before the craft Of
LTEcoLN's Oliver L Dsin, and never again
will his eloquent voice be beard, warning bis
native land against the dangers Of abolition
isn, and its invasious Of constitutional rights.
His lips are sealed forever. But it lie not alone
upon the ssductions OF Office, and the allure
ments Of power and place that the Blsek-Rs-
pubiicans rely to win ths game they are play
ing for the border State stakes. They count
largely upon stimulating jeaiousiss and antip-
athiss which have been industriously excited
in those States against the new Co1federacy.
They Disguise It under the mild phrase Of "ozl-
tirGfinr The Usioa seHf1enf n fe Gfhrriag
Sfafef. Their maxim Is " dfvi9e and con
gusT - and II they can succeed IL arrsying
against the Confederate States the hostility Of
the Unionls's. they viii win the desperate game.
C8ndor eonPels US TO say, thai a large portion
o. tie Union press are playing into the hands
oftbe lack-Re7ubliesns. With reckless fatu
ity they are Tuaziag a BEek against the gulf
ststss, and the true friends Of the Sou b. They
pass unBoticsd the crimes Of a5oitionisn and
the sins Of RspublicaBisn, and expend all
their energies against the hypothetical errors
Of fbe South. II a citizen Of The gulf States,
stung BY their isuBts and insults, TO say moth
ing Of the stoiid indifference displayed TO The
great struggle Of he South for Der rights but
INDUCES in a hssty expression, it is caught up
and parsdsd in their columns for the sole pur-
pose OF fonsuting 4 prejudice against the peo-
pie OF those States. II sllthis, they but sub
serve the sinister purposes, and become the
tools o. TIE Blsek-RspubHesns.
n mere is time suhcisnt to allow matters
10 drift along smoothly, AM Jet these agencies
quietly work. the eonspiraiors might yet be
successful, and lure the border States on 10

But a blockade is az oei Of uaT, and gsner-
