MORE STRALINGS.

Tho forts and other federal property in Texas
have been surrendered to the State authorities
and the federal troops are withdrawn. As an act
of gracious condescension "they were allowed to
peaceably withdraw" How much did Texas cost
US at frstP and how much have we expended in
her behalf since? and how many troops have We
furnished for her protectioni In answer, cur
property is seized and we are told to yacate the
premises. Header.
Serves you right. You knew Texas was stolen
from Mexico when you received her into the
Union. You received stolen goodS, knowing them
to stolen; and having practically endorsed such
thieVish morality, do not complain because it is
p~racticed in turn on you.

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES CAUSED BY Sc
CESSI0N.

A clrious question came up for discussion be-
fore Judge Chamberlain, Of Mobile, Al, on Feb.
9. 1t was involved in the case Of a fugitive from
justice for a crime committed in the Eastern Dis
trict of Virginia, and the requisiIion for the deliv-
cry of the criminal to the officer accredited from
the above District was recognized by Judge Jones,
Of the late United States Court Of this District, on
the very day of the passage of the ordinance Of
secession and the last Of the existence of said
Court. On the ground that the act of secession
nulliaed all Judiciary relations lately existing be-
tween the State and the United States, a writ Of
Adbeas eoLpGs was sued out by f. S. BIOunt, Esq,
counsel Tor the prisoner Robert B Armistsss.
Esq, appearing for the other side. Mr.. Blouu.
pleaded that all statutes OF Alabama aud the Uni
ted States, preVidiug for the rendition Of ~fugitivss
from Justice, were a dead letter from the t;us OF
the passage Of the Ordinsnes Of secession, BY the

A CHURCH sEoEb1Na WITH A STATE.

a CiiU Win a oIAlb.
In Louisiana the Protestant Episcopal Church
secedes with the State. A Pastoral letter from
Bishop Polk; of that diocese, contains this passage:
Our separation from our brethren Of 1.-The Protest
ant EpibcOpnl Church in the United States" has
been effected, because zoe must JoHOD ohr A%dtf0ndlf
ity. Not because there has been any difference Of
opinion as to Christian doctrine or Catholic usage:
Upon these points we are still one. With us it is d
separation not q division certainly not alie' alton.
And there is no reason why, if wo should find the
union of our dioceses under our rational church
impracticable, we should cease to feel for each 9th
err The respect and regard with whieh purity Of
manners, high principle, and a manly devotion TO
truth never fail to inspire general uiinds. Our re
lation to each other hereafter will be the relations
NC both now hold to the men Of our mother church
Of England.

which case their ports are to 10 Uiockaded, their
towns assniled by sea and by land bot bless you,
gentlemen Of the South, that is neither coercion
nor invasion, it is only the application Of the force
necessary to collect the public rovenue-'only
this, and nothing MORE"
The Southern government has manifested dis
position to deal fairly with the government Of the
United States, is willing to assume its share Of the
public debt, and to purchase toe property Of the
General Government in the South. 1t is difficult
20 see how the new administration can do other
wise than meet it upon this ground, unless Mr..
Lincoln takes back the declaration 10 his Inaugu-
raj that whenever they (tho peoplo) shall grow
weary Of the existing government, they can ex-
ercise their constitutional right Of amending it,
or their revolutionary right to dismember or over
throw it,"
The string of specifics which Mr.. Lincoln made
from Springfield to Harrisburg we're not remarka-
bly, great, though the Cincinnati Enquirer" did
say they were ~bristling with vast and statesman
like IDEAS" nor does the Inaugural strike us as so
great a production as by the assistance of Seward
and others /. might have been. Lincoln is not a
grea. man, and certificates to the contrary DO not
change the fact.

What violent article on the Consistency Of Fan
atheism, I" in which the Bugle, the Arhtabula Sen
tiHet, MIR. Plils5ury and Mr.. Giddings, are not
quite annihilated. Which particular department
Of the paper the article belongs to, would be diff
icult TO determine. Even those who might admit
the soundness of the Journals logic, and admire
the beauty of its philosophy, would question the
propriety Of a cold-water journal trying to get in
to hot water.
The animus Of the article may be inferred from
the following concluding passage:-
Between Thomas Corwin and ,Joshua r.. Cid
dings there is just as wide q difference as between
the honest man and the thief.
"Mr. CoRwtN opposes slavery by advocating
the enforcement of all constitutional restrictions
upon it. Giddings opposes slavery by countcnan-
cling John Brown raids ard sYmpathizing with
Oberlin and Lima rescuers. And he even sends
up a plliful groan, because the ringlcaiers of the
mob which gathered at Lima to rescue Lucy"
are to be indicted, Ii they are punished as they
deserve, what can be said to mitigate the punish
