Secession F-OreshadOwed a Quarter or a
Century Ago, ..H r ,

NV # .-N |Na
OF the political novel, The Partisan Leader,
by Beverley Tucker we have already
spoken. Not only is the doctrine of States
Rights, as now maintained by the seeding
States laid down therein, but the very man
ner of the Secession is accurateIy'described
SO accurately, indeed, that it is difficult to
conceive of the work as having actually
been published twenty-five years ago. We
subjoin an extract:
AT the same time, the power and the will
of a fixed majority in the North, to give a
master to the South, had been made mani
fest. 1t was clearly seen, too, that he IVAN
Burep) had determined to use the power
thus obtained, and 10 administer the Govern
ment solely with a view to the interest OF
that sectional faction, by which he had been
supported. "Ve OietisP' =" Woe to the

forth snd Northern cupidity and Northern
tanaticism were seen to march, hand in

South. ''h
Under these circumstances the Southe \
States had been, at length forced to see that
the day for decisive action had arrived. They
therefore determined no longer to abide the
obligations of a Con stitutiohy the form Of
which alone remained, and having, by q
movement nearly simultaneous, seeded from
the Union, they had immediately formed a
Southern C~onfederacy. The (suddenness Of
these measures was less remarkable than the
prudence with which they had been con.
Quoted. The two together left little doubt
that there had beenda p~reconcert among the
leading men of the several States, arranging

their councils. II is now knoYn that there

there were men who entered into the same

More British Views OF the American Crf-
sis-An Easy Victory Predicted for the
North. {
The London Daily Nsps of the 4th inst-
received by the Saroni0, observes;f ol.1
To some observers it appears that the
commencement of civil war has been the
first step to prove the Incompetence Of the
Lincoln Administration. According to these
critics the South can not be coerced, and
therefore the blood which must be split viii
be split in vain. Now this lie by no means
clear. II the chief cities on the Southern
seaboard are ~blockaded, and Charleston Is re-
taken, there is no need for any farther hos
tile operations. The South are entirely de-
pendent upon foreign commerce, and they
have no outlet for their cotton except BY the
sea and the free States. There seems no rea.
son why any troops should occupy Mont
gomery or Louisville, or any Of the towns In
the interior. HsH1
II, Indeed, the States north of the Ohio and
the Potomac were disposed to waver in their
allegiance TO the Federal Government, there
might be some difficulty in enforcing the
Federal policy. But it is one ofthe blessings
Of a free Government that the real feelings
Of the people are perfectly understood. 1t Is
known that nine-tenths, of the ships in the
States belong TO the North, and by land the
seeding States are hemmed in by those
earnestly DenL upon supporting the Federal
Government. Moreover, it must be observed
that esch separate State is, according to the
Constitution, practically independent, and
that the only financial assistance derived by
the Federal Government from the States, for
the purpose of carrying on the Government
was derived from the customs.
If the blockade is effective, and the border
States do their duty, there can be but little
difficulty in extracting q considerable sum
out of the ships before they are allowed to
pass into port. The contest which has Just
begun, may be obstinate and bloody, but it
is hard TO believe that the South can ulti-
mately prevail. According to the last census
the white population of the free States
amounted TO nineteen millions, that of the
slave States to eight millions six hundred
thousand; but in the slave States the slaves
numbered fouy millions. %
Thus it appears hat while the freemen in
the North are more than double those in the
South, the South are incumbered by a popu-
lation of slaves in the proportion OF one to
two white men II is said, indeed thar the
masters are arming these slaves so as to form
them into what certain enthusiasts are
pleased to call an army Of helots. To arm o
slave is easy to disarm him may be adam
gerous problem; and if the slaves are pre-
pared to fight for their masters, it is difficult
to understand upon what principle these
POOR wretche5 are held under such strict sur
veillance, and kept down TO the level of the
brute.
