now Succession MUST DIE.

1t seems impossible for the Slaveholdlng States
to do, or refuse to do, anythpg that will not
rebound to the advantage of the Free States.
As we have shown already the Secession
movement is bringing business and prosperity 10
the North, which will increase daily until the
South shall be of no account whateyer-exceot
as cotton-6eld. Its agricultural production win
be the same as now, but even its mechanic in
dustry in its present limited forms will desert IL
end its commerce will cease to exist. Thoss
important branches Of its prosperity will b.
wholly Topped off, and their sap and vigor trsns-
ferred to stimulate Northern growth.
Already our Northern cities, and New York In
particular, are feeling q quickening of their
trading pulses from the very partial interruption
of business at the Southern seapOrts. And this
is but the beginning The ports of Mobile and
Savannah and New.Oreans are still fuH of ship
ping, bearing away the products of the Southern
country and Of the Mississippi Valley. But when
they shall have departed, that will bs the end Of
commerce at those ports. There cannot be lees
than AGO ships now loading in the various
harbors Of the South.
transferred to Northern channels by the shutting
of Southern ports and thrown upon N,rthern
cities, it is impossible to overestimate the amount
of profit that will be reapsd by cur COM
mercal and financial circles. The present bank
ing capital of this city will be wholly inadequate
to the transaction of the new business they win
have to do Our wharves and warehouses win
be overloaded with Southern products. Our
docks will be choked with foreign and domestic
shipping Our railroads viii, With their present
resources and Accommodations, struggle in vain 10
keep I'D with their fast accruing burdens Of
transportation.
Our steamers and sailing craft luggers and
towboats, our mechanics and laboring men in
any way connected, directly or indirectly, with
commercial and shipping circles, will know sa
activity of employment never before experienced
Every other branch Of traffic will feel q CORE
spending impulse, in q greater or less degree.
Such is sure 10 be the commercial effects Of
Secession upon this city, and like results will be
experienced in every other great commercial
emporium of the Free States, and throughout tho
maritime parts of the country.
In tnls way are the laws oI traue ucstincu 70
prove the great paci6catOr of our political sgta-
TONS Against them, the Slaveholding States
cannot long hold out. Those States rebel In vain
against their position. Connected with US By
geographical necessities, and by wise and be-
neficent Constitution whose stipulations must be
enforced they cannot escape the destiny imposed
upon them as members Of o common Govern
ment.
In revolution themselves, they will bring upon
their own heads all the calsmities of revolution,
while not one of those calamites will be felt BY
tne LOYAL States. And while that revolution lssts
the one will sink deeper and deeper in the mire
Of disorder and ruin, while the other will con-
tinue to progress in the paths of prosperity.
How long can it be possible for the Slave
States to endure, under such circumstances,
without breeding powerful and growing party
clamorous for restoration to the benefits Of that
great and bene6cent Government, whose laws
have been defed and whose protection has been
repudiated by disappointed and tratorous political
leaders
