War with England Postponed.

The Trent affair appears TO be settled without
resort to arms, and no more trouble need be
apprehended from England on that account--or
at all least Eng land ought 10 be satisfied mas
muchasw We have complied meokly and to the letter
with her demands. Bu, we are apprelensiye
that this pros'ration o! our country does not en-
sure peace with Great Britain for any length of
time. We have no disposition to alarm the
tears OF our readers but We think it is better to
be prepared for the worst than to be luled into
deluslve repose and we shall certainly be
very happily disappointed if England docs not
before many wceis find some other occasion or
pretcxt for II quarrel with the United States
The present demonstration in that country had
something beside the insult to the British flag
to ttimulate it, and now that the uen of Eng
land who desire war with US find how ready
he multitude are to spouse their quarrel, they
Will not wait long before they will find some
point Of international law, other than the RIGHT
OF search, that should be changed to meet pres
cnt English exigcncits. Those seeking a quar-
rel seldom fail to find opportunity for on, and
the recent conduct Of England justifes putting
her into that category.
Be this as it may, the settlement Of the Trent
affair will very soon put. to the test the !oasted
neutrality of Great Britain. That power can
not require any further evidence that it il no
part OF our purpose to affront IL and though
they give our weakness credit for our good be-
havior, they inust admit that We have meekly
given our back to their chastlsement. If thew
now continue their insolert bullying, lionize
Mason and Slidell, suffer privarocrs, like the
Nashville, to reft in their ports, and in thou.
Hnd ways continue as they have done to give
MD and comfort to the rebels, it will very plain
ly appear that the secret of their discomfort and

the insult to their flag.
But there is way through which another
insult from England may be avoided, and war
with that power put of till we have leisure and
disposition to accommodate her in her most bel
ligerent mood, and that is by Immediately, or
as soon as possible fighting down the South
ern rebellion. Mason and Sldell will be of
smal laccount abroad when they have no hackers

Mr. LINCOLN AND THE ABoLITIoYIsTs. Par
ker Pillsbury writes to the Anti-Slavery
STANDARD regarding a Convention of Aboli-
tionists held on the 9th and 10th, at Mendoza,
Ill. The discussion, he says, was with men
who had on the Tuesday previous voted for
Mr.. Lincoln. "They cited their own repre-
sentatives in Congress, Owen Loveioy, and
Joshua R. Giddings and Charlie Sumner" Mr..
Pillsbury says, "as their authority for an anti
slavery construction of the Constitution, and
had voted for Lincoln, who absolutely spews
their Interpretation out of his mouth One of
them, lawyer, had been all the pilgrimage
to see Lincoln, and have an interview. He
said Mr.. Lincoln told him the Constitution aoas
Pro -Slarery, that the South lcas entitled to a
Congressional Fugitiue Siaye law, and that he
ehO"ld, if elected President, srecute tho present
one, though he regarded IL as a most unqodly
enactment" And yet he would vote for him.
And he told u.s. moreover, that he did not ex-
pect Mr. Lincoln would do one thing to the
prejudice of slavery, except to execute the
law prohibiting the African Slave Trade.
And yet, with all his lawyer like arguments
on the ant-slavery character and meaning of
the Constitution, he has helped to elect such
man to the Presidency of these United
States.

Why SHOULD Force BE USED John Minor
Bolts, in his Protest against Disunion, makes
the following striking observations:
1t has become quite favorite and fash
ionable mode of expression to say, "this is not
Government of force; the Government was
not made by force, and cannot be kent to-
gether by force"
1t is very true that the Government was
not made by force, and IT is for that very
reason that there is no right to break it up
and that it can be kept together by force
Whether that is desirable mode of doing it
is altogether different question. If it had
been formed by force-if some tyranncal
despot had forced Government upon the
people, which had never obtained their ap-
proval or assent-then any of the parties
would be justified in throwing it off when
ever they could get rid of it. But it is pre-
cisely because it was not made by force, but
that, on the other hand, it was free and
voluntary compact, entered into one with an.
other, and each one with all the rest that
there is power to enforce the compact.
Debts are not, and cannot be created by
force; but, if voluntarily entered into, the
payment Of the obligation may be enforced
by the strong arm of the law and the COM
pact between the States. having been volun-
Uarlly entered INTO, may In ike manner be
enforced, if necessary, by the strong arm of
the Government-and it is no Government at
all, lift is not of sufficient force to protect
itself against treason and rebellion on the
part of its own citizens. If it is not Gov
ernment Of force, why was Congress clothed
with the power "to provide for calling forth
the militia, to execute the laws of the Union,
suppress insurrection, and repel invasions,"
whether they come from within or without
Pshaw that's all fal-lal, to tickle the ears of
groundlings 1t was a Government of force,
and very efficient force, in 1888, when the
force bill passed a Democratic Congress in
the House by a vote of 149 to 4S, and in the
Senate by 80 to l. When and how has the
Constitution been changed since that time,
or is it only because statesmen have grown
more wise of late? Establish this doctrine
of secession, and it is at once settled that
there is an absolute impossibility of ever
forming fixed, permanent and stable Gov
ernment out of two or more States for, if our
Constitution does not make this permanent
Government as designed by its founders, then
language cannot be employed that would
make it so, and our institutions are 10 better
than those of Mexico.

FASTING AND PRAYER-Friday was the
day recommended by the President for fast
ing and prayer. Everybody in this city
seemed to have eaten heartily, so far as we
could hear or see, and "nary" prayer went
up that we know of. If anything was done.
in that way, it was quite secret. The fact is,
the people don't respond now-a-days to eth.
er political or religious eifusions of the occu-
pant of the White House. The old fellow

The document recites the history of the ac-

charges that by it territory and population
in the Baltimore Conference, represented by
twen.y-one circuits and stations, has been
lost; that the building of churches had almost
entirely ceased, and that no collection could
be made for missionary purposes. In view
of these facts they recommended that the
Baltimore Annual Conference should at its
next meeting declare that the General Con-
ference had, by its official action, sundered
the bonds which united the two bodies The

present difficulties in the Conference, but
was in favor Of delaying action seyering con-

already perfected arrangements for continu-

REsIGNATIoN OF GENERAL CAss.-The Ne

The resignation has created a profound
sensation throughout the country, and there
were doubtless other reasons than the one
given to induce him to leave the Cabinet.
Gen Cass does not believe in the possibility
Of peaceable disruption of the Confederacy;
and for that reason he favored a reinforce
ment of the forts in the secession States. He
doubtless now realizes what every thinking
man has seen for years past, that the policy
of Buchanan 8 administration has been shaped
with view to bring about q dissolution Of
the Union. and finding it impossible to in
duce the President and Cabinet to change
this policy, he could not consistently retain
his position any longer.
