dependent" meant to convey the idea that Mis-
sissipp was absolutely separated from the Uni
ted States ~ 10 Brazil or China.
But there seems to be q deeper scheme than
We understood, which is gradually coming to
light, that though the ordinance declares EN-.
phatically dissolution, and though the seee
ding States seize upon defenceless forts with
much pomp and ceremony, steal national arms
and plumber the public treasury,-tear down
lighthouses and buoys,-seize upon merchant
vessels peacefully navigating their harbors, and
perform various other similar acts as against
hostile nation, yet the Senators still continue to
hold their seats, and vote as heretofore against
all good laws
Alta caucus of Senators from the seeding
States, Aessrs. Toombs, Sldell, Yulee and Nal,
Tory, advocated this proposition to remain in
the Senate, Notwithstanding their States 60
out, in order to obstruct any legislation injurious
to their States, and Senator Toombs expressed
his determination 90 to act in any event. Geor-
gia il no longer State, she may declare, but
still M. Toombs votes in the Senate as her Sen
ator.
We can hardly see the design of this. If the
Southern Confederacy is separate and indepen
dent, We can hardly see the honor of keeping
representative in his place in the Senate, or the
interest that such foreign nation has in the pas
sage of our laws. But If this secession ismeant
by its leaders to be only a scheme, only
temporary outburst Of the old spirit, more open
and violent because weaker measures have be-
come of no force; If it is meant to force the
North into compromise and then return, the
object of remaining in Congress in this way is
more e,sily seen. The efforts of the leaders to
moderate the Grassy mob which they have I'M
chained, and the reported desire of South Car
DINA to restore quiet, by sending Mr.. Prescott
to Washington with conciliatory overtures,
seem TO point in that direction. If such is the
desire, We hope it will be fully understood.
This secession problem is daily growing more
and more interesting, and such men as Toombs
are continually increasing the interest. TO find
the exact line, to determine how far the sece-
ling States are parts Of the Union and how far
-. how near in and how near out-would puz-

The present danger dscioses itself in this
form: Disconnected citizens have obtained po
litcal power in certain States, and they using
this authority to overthrow the Federal Govern

that the State power they have acquired ena-
bles them to discharge themselves from ale

THE DUTY OF CONGRESS.


Congress, in the present case, ought not to
be impassve it ought if 1t can, redress any real
grievance of the offended States, and then it
ought to supply the President with all the means
necessary to maintain the Union in the full ex-
hibition and discreet exercise of its authority.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE
Beyond this, with the proper activity on the
part OF the Executive, the responsibility Of saw
ing the Union belongs to the people, and they
are abundantly competent to discharge it. l
propose, therefore, with great difiidence, to ad-
dress myself to the country upon the momentous
subject asking a hearing, not less from the peo-
pie within what are called the seeding, than
from those who reside within the adhering States.
Union is an old, fixed, settled habit of the Amer
lean people, resulting from convictions of its
necessity and therefore not likely to be hastily
discarded.
A LESSON FROM HISTORY. ...
The early States, while existing as Colonies,
we're combined, though imperiectly, through
common allegiance to the British crown. When
that allegiance ceased, no one was so presumpt.

CONFLICTING VIEWS.

The honorable Senator from Illinois (Mr.
Douglas) says we have right to coerce State
but we cannot. The President says that no State
has right to secede, but we have no constitu-
tiona power to make war against a State. The
dilemma results from an assumption that those
who, in such case, act against the Federal Gov
eminent, act lawfully as State, although mani
testify they have perverted the power of the
State to an unconstitutional purpose. A class
of politicians in New England set up this theory
andatlempted to practice uponit in our war with
Great Britain. Mr.. Jefferson did not hesitate to
say that States must be kept within their eonsti-
tutionnl sphere, by compulsion if they could not
be held there by attraction. Secession was held
to be inadmissable in the face of public euemy.
