nDUGAASGN THE CRISIS.

Senator Douglas. in the debate of the
2lst ult OIL the bill to cut off the postal
service from the scccding States, which he
favored, in reply to Senator Doolittlc, Of
Wisconsin who had announced himself as
opposed to any compromise with the South
said
The Senator has made great professions
Of devotion to the Union but he is VIC.
lcntly hottie to any mode that he will re
store peace and reunitc the States of the
Union. Sir must say, in all lrankncss,
that regard no man as friendly to Union
who is unwilling to enter upon such sys-
tenn Of compromise and pac!ication as will
preserve it. In my opinion there is de-
liherate plot to break up this Union, under
prctcncc of preserving it. In my opinion,
there arc as many disunionists on this foo
and or the floor of the other branch of Con-
grcss, from the North as from the South;
men who have reasoned. themselves into
the belief that it is wiser and better to drive
the sections into collision to force disunion
and to get up war, to have b!oodshcd
and to repler reunion impossible, and
then to make treaty Of peace. hope
am mis- aiken in this. l have TOO much
respect for tic intelligence Of the Senators
to believe for one moment that they hope
to preserve this Union by military force
They know that the use Of military force
producing collision and bloodshcd, must
result in q civil war between fifteen States
OF the Union Oh one side and the remainder
on the other: low can you avoid that re-
suit? You must DO one Of two thiags
either settle the difficulty amicably, or Will
the sword. An amicablc settlement is
pcrpctuation Of the Union. The use Of tn,
sword is war, dsunion, and separation now
and forever.

Henry Ward Bcechcr was advertised T.

Henry Ward Beechcr was advertised to
dellvcra lecture in Buffalo last Tuesday;
but not making railroad connections east,
he failed to come to time. A large audience
had assembled, and their disappointment at
the non arrival of Mr.. B.. is said to have
been very great. Prof Gardiner, of 'soap'
no'oliety, was called upon, and took the
absent lecturers place on the stage, and
diverted the audience for some time. The
selection of such q man as Soap Gardiner

cola harbor, on the l3th inst, as follows:
Soon after the arrival Of the Brooklyn, o:
which | told you in my last, the other YES
sells belonging to Tie Gulf Squadron came
i'll sight, and since have been cruising out
side the lar, never getting entirely from
view. Sunday another bearer Of dispatches
from Fort Picl1cns arrived and was passed
over TO the Fort His mission must have
been peaceful one, for since matters have
somewhat changed. The work of mounting
guns OIL Fort l'ichens is stopped, and also
the work going on in the navy gard Lieut..
Sleinmcr sent a note to Col Forney, who
has succeeded Col. I.omax in command,
demanding that no more guns should be
mounted upon the battery which bears upon
his fort. ..........
AS the demand was made in conformity
to Tic arinistice, which is understood on
both sides, it was regarded as right, and the
work upon Tic battery was suspended. One
heavy ten-inch Columbiad was already upon
its carriage, another just ready to mount,
so it will be but little labor now, should
occasion require, to place it in working
order. Near night the Wyandottc ran up
the harbor and sent boat ashore to inspe ct
the work. No opposition was offered, and
they returned, satisfied probably that the
battery Was good one, even if built by
volunteers. learn also, that, for two
weeks past, several men have been busily
employed in mounting sea coast howi'zers
at Fort Alcl>ca and in other preparations
for defence. This, too, is now stopped
| have seen no published account of the
reasons why hostllitics were suspended, but
presume it has already been made public as
both parties arc acting under truce.

There is no sight so lamentab!e and so

When one Witnesses such spectacle,

A condition similar 10 this Of which we
