Civil War Approaching.

Civil war is even now at our doofs, aud there
does not appear 70 be anything that can prevent
It, save a united and determined effort among
the masses of the conservative people, North
and South, that it shall not be. But whatever
is done, mus. be done quickly; for so immi-
nent is the danger, that while we are writing,
or the reader is perusing these lines, wound
msy be made that can never be healed. The
ordinary and slower means Of communication
should not be relied on; but the telegraphic
wires should be used for conveying the fixed dc.
termination and firm resolve Of one portion Of
the country to another to abide by the Constitu-
ton and the rigid enforcement of the laws, and
to see that all constitutional rights to every man
and every State shall be maintained inviolate
I! will not do to trust to Presidents or Cabinets
outgoing or incoming, or to Congress with Ii
slow moving and diseordant Crisis Committees,
or to wait the tardy action Of State Legislatures
which may arouse resentment more than the,
will allsy il; but there must be spontaneous
and immediate uprising Of the masses Of th,
people Of this great nation TO save it, If it i
saved ct all. I1E I@ZEt TntT N
There is no exaggeratica in this appeal to tn
people as the last resort. There lie some hop
tia. en- immediate intervention and strong ex
preston Of the popular will may stay the marcl
of the revolutionary spirit In the South, AM

''bloodess as yet" Still this is but e poor con
ISOLATION, when We know that there is imminen
danger that the telegraph may the next hou
fash across the continent the news Of blood
encounter. r gtI.r
If these revolutionary movements are nc
speedily arrested, We may soon have to choos
between entering into civil war or committin
national suicide by submitting to division Q
the Union, VIII not the American people arous
and save themselves from being compelled 3
choose either Of these dreadful alternatives?

fully inaugurated on the 9th of March. The
fourteenth article Of the eighth section Of the
Constitution gives Congress that power, In de-
fining its authority, in these words: 'To provide
for calling out the militia to execute the laws OF
the Union, suppress inswyee.ion, and repel in
yasIon." 7sH
And in the same act which gives this power of
coercion, Congress should enact this conciliatory
measure by proposing an amendment TO the Con.
sttuton, placing the social institution Of African
slavery on precisely the same footing with the
religious opinions Of the whole people-or Con
eress should at least evince disposition friendly
20 such a measure. This was the spirit which
animated the convention when the Constitution
was adopted. All the States recognized slavery
then, and the owners Of slaves could take then,
into any and every State with perfect safety. No
restriction of this kind of servtude was provided
for or Thought Of in the Constitution. Il il only

A collision between two hog trains occurred

Indianapolis an hour in advance Of the through

pleased with the recent speech Of Judge DoUs-

did not speak to crafty fshaticism. His effort
was addressed To the conservative men of the

make concessions, to come to some common
ground of compromise, rather than see the
