Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial
80, 20 WAsHISsroS, Jan. A. 1861.
Women, as history tells US, have some
times done great mischief, and ruined tina
whole country. Because the fair Greek
Helena was fckis in her attachment to her
lord, Monelaus, and followed the handsome
Paris over tho sea 70 far Troy, as war Of no
less than ten years duration, between
Greece and Troy, ensued, ending with the
total destruction of. the latter. I may cite
many othsr examples in history, which all
will prove that woman is q dsnperous
creature If she has made up her mind to do
evil. But not in antiquity alone hare .wo-
men brswed mischief. Recent, and even
presen. times, prove that they have not i'm
proved, and become less dominant over the
poor lords of creation. II fhey can no Ion
ger destroy nations, they can at least ami
h:late parties. And that the once great
Democratic party is now broken up In frag
msnts-who would believe i?-is ifnot
the work Of, at least be ascribed TO tho
fair daughters Of Eve. My authority for
this assertion Is good one, deserving all
credit of truth. :; 81. e
Everybody knows that The President has
niece Miss Lane, who has been doing the
honors at the White House, She has for
merly,, been with her uncle in England,
where of course. she has had access to the
court circles, thus. necessarily becoming a
little srIstocratic. When she returned TO
thls country, she became the presiding la
dy Of the White House. OF course, consider
ing herself the first lady in the country;
and expecting that all the other ladies would
bow to her. Early in, 1857, she met at Is
party Mrs. Douglas, then only short time
married, and surrounded not only on account
of the positi,ioh Of her husband, but on Fer
own beauty and youthfulness-which latter
attributes Miss Lane does not pos sess to
the same exteDt-by ap admiriDg circle
A gentleman paid to Mrc. Dsuglss very
Aattering compliment which unfortunately
offended the pride of Miss Lane. Shs
went home and told uncle about it, who, be-
ing animated by the same feeling against the
husband of his niecs's rival Immediately
took her part. At another party, the dis
like between the two ladies' still increased,
till it broke out in open war, Mr.. Buchan-
an, believing that his niece ought to be the
first lady in the country, and not Mrs.
Douglas, and thinking that Mr.. Dougla,
should not play two strongly the part Of .
crown prince to the king, concluded to let
him know something about it. The cold
ness existing between the ladies by and By
preraded the two gentlemen, and thus the
war between the red and white roses begun
and ended in the destruction Of the Demo-
cratic party. Thus il will be seen that
small causes are often followed by great
consequences. .,..--

and afterwards be re-eligible. During the
term Of the first President, the second should
be President OF the Senate, having cast
ing vote in case of tie. No treaty should
be valid which did not have the signature
of both Presidents and be sanctioned by
two-thirds of the Senate. No law should
be valid which was not signed by both
Presidents, or, in the event of a veto, be
passed by the sanction of a majority of the
Senators from the section from which he
came. And no officers should be appointed
unless with the sanction of both Presidents,
or the sanction of a majority of the Sena-

COERCION.
Mr.. HUNTER then went into an argu-
ment on the subject of coercion. He
utterly denied the constitutional right of
the general government to coerce a state.
He said
say that coercion is impossible, for if
you attempt it upon one of the states, all
the slaveholding states will rally around to
its assistance, and the idea that you can
reduce seven, ten, yes, fifteen states, is pre-.
posterous. l acknowledge you may make
war, and bring distress upon both sections,
but as to acknowledging that either could
subdue the other so as to place its yoke and
laws upon it, l 90 not entertain the idea for
an instant. How is this war to be waged
1t would cost you $lOO,OOO,0O0. You
would have to sustain it by direct taxation.
Is it to be supposed the people would bear
such burdens in such cause as that l
believe they might submit to any just tax.
alton in defence of their homes, but would
they submit to such an amount of taxation
for the purpose of depriving their people of
the right of selfgovernment And whose

Not the southern commerce, for that would

the greatest temptation 10 plunder Where
are the cities and the concentrated wealth

it. How could you carry on such war
Where would you find the means? You
could not carry it on for six months. Isay,
therefore, it is not possible, by any such
means. to coerce the southern people to
submission. 1 know there is talk of a
blockade of our coast-that is, one which
would collect the stoms-nothing more.

slaveholdiDg States increased in bumbers,
they commenced warfare upon the other
system, which had been introduced under
the constitution. 1t was commenced in 1920,
when it was said the social system of the
south was founded in sin. and ought to be
repressed and suppressed by the federal
government in all places where it has juris-
diction. The demand Was made that, 80
far as the territories are concerned, they
should be given for the exclusive expansion
of one of these systems at the expense OF the
other. Unhappily, in that contest the weak
er system went to the wall, and a law
was passed which did put under the ban Of
empire, and which excluded the South from
a large portion of the fertile domain of the
United States. Now sprang up party
which commenced regular warfare upon
the system of the South, upon the social
system OF the states which tolerated the in-
stitution of slavery. They commenced q
system of agitation through the press, the
pulpit and the hall. OF legislation, whose
object it was to wound the self-respect of
the Shareholder, and make him odiOus in the
eyes of the world. They denied that there
could be property in slaves and consequently
maintained that this government was bound
to prevent its extension, and 10 abolish or
suppress it wherever it had jurisdiciction.
They sought to put an end to the slave trade
between the states, and in process OF time
they either evaded or denied the cOnstitu-
tional obligation to return fugitive slaves.
And at last it was proclaimed in these halls
that there was law higher than the con
stitution, which nulliied its provisions, and
practicing upon this preaching majority
OF the northern states passed liberty
ctical effect of which was
to nullify the Fugitive Slave Law, which
was passed in pursuance Of the con-
stitutiOn of the United States. It is

BeA. ANOTHER Horse THIEF HUNG.-
We are informed that horse thief was
hung in the grove south OF Nathaniel Ham
lin 8 last week. He had gone into the
grove, tied up the horse, and was getting
some corn from neighborng field, when
two men who were in search OF the stolen
horse tracked him into the woods. Find.
ing the horse, they concealed themselves
close by. Soon afterwards the thief made
his appearance with an arafat of coru,
which be threw down to the horse, and
then seated himself on the ground. The
two men sprang upon him put rope
round his neck. hung him up to a tree till
he was dead, and then took him down aud
buried bin. The horse was stolen from
Dallas county. Don't know where the
thief was from Cass County Gazette.
