From Ms Nep York Heard
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION STILL IN FAVOR OF
COERCION

SpRIxGyIrLD, ILL.,, Jan 20, ls6l.-The Daiiv STATE
Journal OF this morning contains q leader under the
heading "The Right Of Coercion and Making War on
State" which not only bears external evidence of being
carefully prepared under the eyes Of the President elect
but is so universally received by republican politicians as
authoritative exposition of Mr.. Lncons views that
feel fully justified in subjoining its substance -
The article begins with rsfutaion OF some Of tie
points made 10 President Buchanans last annual mes
sage and Attorney General Blacks Judicial opinion on
the right to secede. The following propositions are then
made:--
I. No State has the right to secede.
g 1t s the duty of the President Of the United States
to enforce the laws thereof.
g. The first republican President will discharge that
duty fearlessy and faithfully.
a. In its discharge he win confne himself to enforcing
the laws in which the country at large is interested viz
the collection of the and the protection of the
federal property. He will not invade State to secure
the repeal Of unconstitutional enactmens by its Legs
ture but merely resist aggressive encroachments upon
the federal authority.
The article is not very luminous. The dnimus how.
ever is clear It brcahes the determination of the in
coming administration to do its duty and oppose the
resumption by the Southern States Of the sovereign
powers delegated to the federal government at all haz-
ards and assert its authority with all at its
mand

The No-Party Trap.

Whilst decryng against party, and proelaiming that
No-Partyism is the ground for the people of Vir
gnia to occupy in the present crisis we find that the
Spartan PrecipatOrs" of Richmond selected their
candidates night before last three gentlemen, who were
earnest and ardent BreckRridgs in the last canvass
Was this an accident merely Gulls may believe So but
we do not On the contrary, We think it was another
party mauouyre under cover of the nopdrty cry There
were Bell "PrecpitatOrs" among them, some OF whom,
We are sure, would have Jumped at uomnation-f it
had been rendered them. And no doubt there a
few Douglas "PrecptatorS among them, who, for the
sake Of the interests and glory of the country, would
meekn have accepted nomnation-ii. But the ~
constituted tue whole difficulty. Ke upon those Bell and
Douglas suckers whom the Breckinridgers caught in
their pretty little trap A little they deserve it, We
extend to them our cordial sympathy.
Let Us remark, in conclusion, that the late Secession
Juror has developed party humbuggery and trick
cry, than We remember ever TO have any pre-
yous occasion Let sensible and patriots keep their
eyes vide open all the time they will be very badly
sold by the surviving members of the defunct Breekin-
ridge faction Of the last year.
