TWO QUESTIONS.

il would be we'll for the people to put aside for
the present their vague and i'll defined notions OF
national honor, and their crude ideas of the re-
ouirements of patriotism, and come down to the
consideration of the plain, common sense ques-
tons of, What are we fighting for ; and, What
can we gain2 -
The Southern States say they have n right to
secede. They cay it by the States individually
and by their Confederate Government. The
Northern States deny this right. They deny it by
the States individually. and by their Federal gov
eminent. Inasmuch as there is DO common au-
thority to which to appeal, the question bids fair
to remain a vexing and ~vexatious one, unless the
Southern States should consent to allow the North
TO decide this mater for them, or the Northern
States consent to allow each State to decide it for
itself, neither of which results appear to be near
its accomplishment. The first question then re-
mains to be decided. Discussion has not settled
it, proposed compromises and concessions have not
settled it, mastery inactivity has not settled it,
waiting for a turn in the tide has not settled it,
and fighting cannot settle il.
If the United States should be able to carry on
a successful war against the Confederate States
and the prestige of success is certainly not now
with the Nort5-it they should blockade the ports
of the South, burn her cities, kill her soldiers, i'm
poyerish her citizens. and thus compel ner to sue
for quarters, the question Of the Right of Seces-
sion would be no nearer settled than when the
contest was begun. The physical superiority Of
the North would be demonstrated, and that would
be all. And when this lie done, what is gained 7
The control of subjugated States that can never
re-enter the Federal Union on terms Of actual
equality, the possession Of a territory whose citi-
Gems would add to their former causes Of aliena-
ton that Of a civil war which converted them into
a conquered people. Would there be any possible
ity of the reconstruction Of the Federal Union out
of such materials furnished by the South .
Would not the breach be wider than it ever had
been, and the States more d~is-united than before 2
If. on the other hand, the South should be VIC
torious, AMI not only be able to defend her own
soil, but should invade the Northern States,
though she might win t~riumpbs that would i'm
m~ortAlize JEFF. Davis, and give the North better
reason to remember the stripes than the stars Of
the national dag, tho question of the Right of Sc
cession would still be undecided.
But we apprehend neither the one nor the other
result Of the war which appears to be inaugurat-
ed. Sumter has been taken, as we think Pick
ems will be. The Border Slave States will prob
ably unite with the Confederate States and form a
Southern unit, 10 which event Washington will be
likely to fall into their bands, and oil governmsp,

LIBERALrTY AND PArRIoTisN.- Numberless banks
have come forward in the present emergency and
offered to supply the State governments with the
means necessary for the raising and equipment Of
troops. Their patriotic libefalty has been much
commended, more so, perhaps, than it will be
when tLo people are compelled to ray the neces-
sary taxes for the refunding Of the principle, and
payment Of the interest. Borrowing money to
6ght on, is one thing; and paying the borrowed
money after the war is over and the country has
become impoverished another, and very different
affair. as all have found who have tried the expert
ment.

"THE PALMETTO FLAo" ie the title Of q weekly
just commenced in Philadelphia, and which pos
sesses, as its lame would indicate, Southern pro
%cliVities. During the excitement in that city sub
sequent TO the surrender Of Sumter, the Office Of
the Flag was visited by a mob, which Insisted
that no such paper should be issued 10 Philadel-
pbia.
The suppression of freedom Of the Press by
mob violence is just as Objectionable in a northern
city as it would be in q southern, and while we
would condemn the %mobbing of a Union paper in
Charleston, we would, on the same ground, as
strongly condemn the mobbing of a pro-slavery
secession paper in Philadelphia. The Press is
amenable to the laws, and SO long as it does not
violate them, its right to print and publish should
be sustained by The legal authorities, no matter
how unpopular the sentiments uttered, no matter
though not one individual could be- found to APP
prove. The Freedom Of the Press should be rec
ognized without any reference to the doctrines
uttered. The freedom Of an unpopular press is
what most needs to be maintained, the freedom Of
a popular press is recognized as a matter of course
and Of custom.

So TER.

The telegraph has borne to every portion Of our
land the news Of the surrender Of Sumter. The
walls of that bOmb-proof fortress were riddled I'M
til they were like honey comb, and its ~6re-proof
barracks burned. Its garrison, which was asser.
ted to be strong enough to resist for months all
the force that the South could bring against is,
surrendered on the End day after it was attacked,
and that too, after bombardment without other as
sault. The guns of Sumter that were to shell
Charleston and lay the city in ashes, were not
there, or if there, were not used, nor did the firing
from the fort appear to be very hurtsul in any di.
section.
The people may learn from this, if they will,
not to place TOO much reliance upon the boasts
possibility that Pickens may speedily experience a
like fate with Sumter. and Washington City be I'M
able to hold out against the forces that will pres
emily invest it.
REoUIsITIoN FOR TRooPs.-It will be seen that in
the requisitiOn made by the Presidens for troops,
he impartially included all States which had not
seeded, no matter what their tendency was sup
posed to be. There 10 no reason to believe that
he expected u cordial response from the Border
Slave States, except perhaps Delaware, and posi-
bly, Maryland, nor has he received it. Kentucky at
once fatty refused, and il others have not followed
her example, it lie because they prefer to treat ihe
proclamation with silent contempt.
That proclamation will probably be the pivot
upon which tue Border Slave States will swing of.
If they will only all 40, and all stay, the North
should be thankful for their exit and their alb.
sence, for there will then be a better material here
to build up a free republic such as we have never
had. And although we may pity the infatuation
of the South in her solitary struggle to maintain
plantation despotism. We shall be under no obi
cation as now, to aid 10 its support.
