Tie pew nationality has been brought forth after
very short period Of CESSATION Within forty days OF
the time when South Carolina amid the tstonlshnent,
The anger and the soOrp Of The Northern people, Sc
eeded from the Union The Constitution Tor the ITO
xisional Government of the "COnederate Sta'es OF
America has been published by the Convention held
al Montgomery Alabama. If in poll ical institutions,
az ia religious Doctrines 1t were the case that The less
the difference the greater the anilpatby theh theIe
would be lille chance Of n reconciliation between the
two communities which divide what used TO be the
American Union, for they are almost identical IN all
outward forlas. The Constitution OF the Con-
that of the "United" States. Both Fcderatons
are 10 be ruled by President elected for four years.
ard in both the rights OF the several States are 10
be upheld by Senators elected, TWO lor each ctaie,
without respect 10 population extent OF territory
Even the minor regulations VI the " old country are
observed. For Instance, the Nice-Presldent OF the
Confederate States is 10 be President OF the Senate
and Congress is 10 meet on the first Monday IN Decem'
ber just us the Presbyterian instincts Of the Scotch
people made the Free hirk an exact counterpart OF the
Establishment, 20 the Republican usagessof America
model the new Government in exact fimlude 70 the
old. Bot the detais VI the Conventions work VIII at
tract little attention for tbs present. Sufficient s il TO
think the Seeding States have now constituted them
selves nation, chosen President, named Commit
tee Foreign Relations and are about to establish
tariff which Is said TO be hostile TO the United Staee
Reconciliation and compromise were not so much as
mentioned by the Assembly which, Invoking the
favor Of Almighty God, proclaimed the union OF the
six Southern States aud eeced the champion Of Seces
siOR, Mir. Jefferson Davis, their hrst President.
A, vet everything has gone in favor of the Secedes
The weakness Of Mr. Buehgnan the treaehery Of some
of his most trusted adviseTs the apathy and unbebef OF
the North and the mixed rage and apprehension OF the
white populace have given COM lete triumph 10 tue
schemes Of few bold and resOlute politicians. The
whole Of the Gull States are now gonei ak have
iOined the new Confederation, and Texas will, no
doubt, join 1t as soon as the machinery OF pOpOlar
action Is organized OF another State also there can
be no doubt The United States Arsenal at Little
Rock had been seized by the people Of Arkansas, who
are among the most fanaticn Anti-Aboiu his IN the
Republic. II isonly eew months since this State ban

that any found within its limits after certain day
should be reduced 10 slavery. II may be said, then,
that tire SavehUldng Cont deration consists OF eight
Ststes Commando the Cult Of Mexico and the lower
water Of the Mississippi.

Moth begins to hope for the Border Staes, aud the
South cannot conceal its apprehension and chagrin at
their evident waveing. 10 the Corsti, ut On which
the Montgomery Convention has drawn Up the follow

Of African negroes from any foreign country other
than the savehoding States OF the Confederate States
s hereby forbidden, aud Congress is required TO
Psts such laws shsl etiectualy prevent the same
Again, Congress shall aso have power TO prohibit
che introduction Of slaves from any state not nem
Der Of this Confederacy." This is, no doubt, COLI
sdefed masterstroke of policy by The leaders of the
montgomery Convention. A prombitlve tariff Is to be
applied TO the staple Of Virginia and Mary
