tended frontier on tho north from smuggling.

not by sea, it will easily be perceived that he
trade Of our seaports must be entirely ann'h'

Thus then, while the restriction Of duties BY
maximum of ten per cent, as supposed to be
prescribed by the Constitution adopted at
Montgomery, is of little consequence, the re.
striction imposed by the circumstances OF the
case, is very different matter. 1t cannot be
changed, or evaded, and it necessarily limits
duties to scale utterly inadequate to produce
such revenue, as the Cotton Empire will
need, even in time of peace.

! THE VOTES OF PACIFICATION ON
MONDAY,

The resolution, offered by Mr.. Palmer of
New York in the House on Monday, and roted
for BY every Republican, was in the words fol.
lowing:
Resolosd, That neither the Federal Govern
ment, nor the people or Government Of any
non.slaveholding State, have a purpose or
constitutional right to legislate upon or inter
fore with slavery in any State Of the Union"
As the Democrats generally refused to vote
upon this resolution it was, for the purpose of
securing support from that side, thrown into
the following new form, by Mr.. Sherman, of
Ohio:
"Resolced, That neither Congress nor the
people or Government of any non. .slav veholding
State has the constitutional right to legslate
upon or to interfere with slavery in any slave.
holding State in the Union"
In this last form, the resolution was carried
yeas l6l, nays, none.
The Republicans voted, to man, for both
resolutions, and they have thus, in the most
authentic and solemn manner, disclaimed for
themselves and for their constituents, any as.
sumption of . right, or any purpose, to inter.
fere with slavery in the States where it exists.
In this immediate slaveholding community,
these votes are hailed with the most enthusi.
sstic satisfaction, and are regarded as substan.
TALLY removing all grounds of apprehension
from the incoming Administration. And they
will have the same effect in other portions Of
tie South, wherever the press will permit the
people to know what has been done.
This question of the safety from interfer.
ence, Of slavery in the States is the only thing
which really touches Southern feeling. As to
the territorial question, so far as the present
Territories are concerned, they are quite indif
ferent 70 it, as they understand very well that
there are no such Territories into which slavery
can be carried. That this is so, is proved by
the fact, that the agitators and revolutionists
here, haUe actually been obliged to go out Of The
country, and into a foreign jurisdiction, for the
purpose Of hunting up a pretert for quarrel
There was nothing in the United States to dis
Pute about and 30 they have gone to Mexico
to raise an issue of Africanizing that country
This is proof positive, that there was nothing
at home to raise issues upon.

TAs EanAansntal Principles.
The Constitution framed BY our fathers
declares one object Of the people who adopt
"a IL 10 b ssto form more perfect Union"
By ies terms, and BY the practice Of Washing
ton, Jaokson, and others Of the most distin-
gsishsd ralsrs Of orr country, that Oonstitu-
tioa VS. superior TO the State Consultations,
and tho laws enacted By the Federal Govern.
msnt vsre hsld to BE- paramount over state
Consultations and laws. A . consequence
the duties and allegiance Of the oitissns to
the United States wrs held to b paramount
TO any obligation due from them to the State
Of which they might DO citissns.
In opposition to this theory and practice
Of tho Government, John @. Calhoun insu-
gurstsd the theory OF Independent State
sovsr eighty and notification. That dogma,
crashed for the time By General Jackson,
has sises been revived end adopted very gen.
orally by the disciples Of Calhoun, South and
North, and has at last culminated in seoes-
sion At the South, and resistance to soccer
cion" or tho enforcement Of tho laws BY the
Democracy ofthe North.
II the Calhoun theory is right, then the
Constitution OF our fathers 10 wrong, and
this 10 not or should not be Government OF
the people, but . league OF States. The
Southern Confederate Consultation adopts
that theory, and the sscessi onists and traitors
who insugurated the new Confederacy in
rebellion, have appropriately adopted Con-
ssitution which implies the right Of pescsa-
BILE secession at the will Of each State.
This is one OF the fundamental differences
between the Constitution Of our fathers and
that OF the Ysnceyites. The other difference
10 the substitution Of African slsvery-re-
jected by our fathers-ss tho chief eorner-
stone Of the new Confederacy Constitution.
Upon this latter point, We refer orr readers
to the extract from the speech Of A. II. Sts-
pbeDs, chief advocate OF Doug lssism in the
late Presidential campaign, and nov Woe
President Of the C.fy Kingdom.
The people Of the North, ~ we'll - Of the
South, are under the necessity Of embracing
and upholding the principles Of the illustri-
Gus men who formed or Government, or Of
the principles set forth in tho Confederate
Constitution and illustrated BY the examples
Of the slavery propagandists, fre-saters and
secessionists, Who prescribe 'Southern gun.
powder and Southern steel for Northern
stomachs."
