Pre-ident Buchanan on Secession.

/ should feel myself recreant 10 my duty, were |
TO fail 10 express all opinion on the important subject.
The question, fairly stated. is, Has the Constitution
delegated 10 Congress the power 10 force 8 State into
submission which l. ~attemptin to withdraw, or has
already withdrawn from the confederacy; If answered
IN the affirmative, II must be on the principle that the
power has been conferred upon Congress to declare
and make war against a State. After much serious
reflection | have arrived at the conclusion that no
such power has been delegated 20 Congress, or 10 acy
other department Of the Federal Government. Il is
manifest, upon an inspection Of the instrument, that
this is not among the specific and enumerated powers
granted 70 Congress. and il IS equally apparent that
its exercise Is not necessary and proper for carrying
into execution any one Of those powers. So far from
this power having been delegated 10 Congress, il was
especially refused by the Convention which formed the
Constitution. IL appears from the proceedings Of that
body, on the 3lst Of May, 1877, that the clause au-
thorizIng an execution Of the force ofthe whole Govern
ment against "A delinquent State came up for consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Madison opposed il in "a brief but pow
ertul speech, from which | shall extract but a single
sentence. He observed "The use Of force against
n State would look more like a declaration Of war
than an infiction Of punishment, and would probably
be considered by the party attacked as 4 dissolution
OF all previous cOmpacts by which il might be bound"
Upon his motion the clause was unanimously post
poned, and was never, | believe, again presented.
Soon after, on the Sth Of June, 1857, when incl
dentally adverting 10 this subject, he said, any gov
eminent for the United States, founded on the sup
posed practicability Of using force against the uncon-
stitutonal proceedings Of the States, would prove rs
visionary and fillacious as the government Of Con-
gress; evidently meaning the then existing Congress
Of the old Confederation.
Without descending to particularize, it may be
safely asserted, that the power to make war against a
State, Is at variance with the whole spirit and intent
OF the Constitution. Suppose such a war should re-
suit in the conquest Of a State; how are we to govern
1t afterwards? Shall we hold it as n province, and
govern it by n despotic Tower2 In the nature of
things, We could not by physical force control the
will of the people, and compel them to elect Senators
and Representatives to Congress. and to perform all
member Of the COniederacy. But if we are possessed
of the power, would il be wise to exercise it, under
the existing circumstances? The object would be,
doubtless, TO preserve the Union, yet it would not
only present the most efectual means Of destroying
it, bnt would Danish all hopes of its peaceful recon
structiOn; besides, in the fraternal conflict, a vast
amount OF blood aud treasure would be expended,
rendering future reconciliation between the States
impossible.

tbs COsr OP THE ARMSTRONG GUx.-Sow that
the success OF the Armstrong gun Of small calibre
has been placed beyond doubt by its destructive use
against the Chinese forts IL may be well to estimate
the cost Of the new weapon. The present i an Op-
perfume moment for this purpOse, inasmuch rs il is
only when it, success Is uppermost in our minds that
the price We hava paid for this gun will bear men
tioning. II will be rscollected that 60, OCO, 600 ster-
ture Of Armstrong guns. and these 90, 200. goo will
all be expended By the end Of the current financial
year. IL we assume that only 81 500. 900 has been
expended upon the plant NJ WOolwich and Elswick.
thus leaving but EI 900, 900 to be accounted for as
the cost Of the guns already made. we then find that
every Armstrong gun yet manufactured has cost the
country no less than the amazing sum Of e2.0OO-
Unfortunately, too. the large guns have never yet
stood the test required by the service successfully.
Up TO the present moment the naval authorities re-
fuse 10 receive q single Armstrong gun above q %

The Two Presidents Contrasted,

The New York Herald, in an article on 10
auguration Travels, |" after describing the pro-
gress Of Mr.. LINCOLN towards the National Cap.
itsl, the curious speeches he made, and the droll
incidents that happened on the route, turns to
the President of the Southern Confederacy, and
thus draws the contrast between him and the
hsssiaeat Of the Northern Confederacy:
Tina csher President, Mr.. Davis. has been re-
caigef with The greatest enthusiasm during his
imru<y from Mississippi to Montgomery, Ala
hama. He made i've and twenty speeches eR
route, but we do not hear that he told any sto-
ries, cracked any jokes, asked the advice Of the
young women about his whiskers, or discussed
political platforms. His speerhes are rather
highly favored with the odor Of villsinous salt.
petre, and he evidently believes that civil war is
inevitable. But we must recollect that Mr.. Ds-
Wis is soldier, graduate of West Point, he.
70 Of the Mexican war, and statesman Of mil
itary turn OF mind. Mr.. Lincoln was o splitter
Of rails, distiler Of whisky, story teller and
Joke maker. He afterwards became stump or.
stor, and used bis early experiences as his liter
ary capital Now we have the rails abandoned,
the whisky still stopped, but the ecent of both
hangs about the manner and the matter of bis
speeches. For the future the Northern Presi-
dent should profit By the example Of his South
srn rival, who does not attempt to tell the
Southern people that the crisis is nothing, that
nobody is hurt, Con the contrary, be scknowl-
edges that the revolution hurts North and South
but declares that the South is ready to meet any
hardship rather than to abendon its principles.
Mr.. Lincoln must look this state Of things In
the face. Itcannot be turned of with q joke;
and when next he opens his mouth We trust be
will nos put his foot in It.
