They knew their people possessed as
much of moral sense,and AZ much de-
votion te law and order, and as much
pride in and reverence for the hsto-
ry of their common country, as any
other civilised and patriotic people.
They knew they could make no ad
vsncement directly in the teeth OF
these strong and noble sentiments;
accordingly they commenced by an
insidious debauching OF the public
mind. They invented an ingenious
sophisr,, which, if conceded, was fol-
lowed by perfectly logical steps to
the complete destruction OF the IN
ion. The sophism itself is, that any
State may consistently with the na,
tional constitution, peacefully ana
lawfully withdraw from the Union
without the consent OF the Omon or
of sny State.
The little disguise that the sup
posed right is to be exercised only
for lust cause, themselves to be the
sole Judge Of its justice, Is too thin
to merit any notice. With rebellion
thus sugar-coated. they have been
drugging the public mind OF their
section for more than thirty years
aud until at length they have brought
many good men to Willingness to
take up arms against the . ,vernlnent
the day after some assent age OF men
have enacted the farcical pretence OF
taking their State out OF the Cnion
who could have been brought to nc
sucl thing the day before.
This sophism derives much, per,
hans the whole OF its currency, from
the assumption that there is soms
Onnipoteut and Sacred Supremacy

eral Union. Our States have meth

the prospect of receiving foreign goods duty

to the world, and the prosperity which the
North has thrown away is being rapidly trans

has alienated us beyond return.
Thus the Lincoln government has succeeded
in developing the fearful substance of "irre-

with desolation every vital interest in the
North. 1t has still to be decided whether the
patriotic, sober minded, order loving masses of
the people, can devise no remedy to save the
country from internecine strife, and themselves
from ruin.

HE lNsArrATE WEsT.--So far in the distribu-
ton Of the federal patronage Mr.. Seward has
provided for his friends hereabout, and the
West has had all the rest of the fat. New Eng
land, where the real battles of the republican
party have been fought gets next to nothing
IL somebody don't take something, like the dis
tressing case of our friend the Cheyalier Webb,
1t goes to the West Again, some Yankee Is
told he canhot have such and such place,
because 1t has been promised to the
West 1t is always the West. This NAV
be accounted for by the fact hat three
members of the Cabinet are prairie politicians:
but there is still another reason. The
low Southern tariff, and the probable re
turn of Western trade to its naturl
channel, the Mississippi river, place the
administration in q delicate position. The
Morrill, tariff will be particularly obnoxious to
the West, which Is a producing country, and
which never could see the propriety Of enrich
ing New England and Pennsylvania capitalists
at the expense of the agriculmrisis of the
South and West. So IL is not unlikely that I'M
less the Western politicians are kept quiet they
will commence movement witch might result
in the secession OF several Statee. 1t Is the
main idea Of Lincoln and bis advisers that the
spoils are the chief considerations with every
body In the country. That Is the true Albany
policy, the original lobby idea. The only
trouble Ia, that the spoils are not sufficient 4

SPAIN AND THE SLAVE TRADE.-It will be re-
membered that long and interesting debate
upon the slave trade recently took place In the
British Parliament, and that in the course OF
that debate Spain was rather roughly handled,
especially by Lord Palmerston. We now learn
that in the Senate at Madrid, on the 9Th OF
March, the Spanish government announced
that they had resolved upon stationing cruis-
ers along the coast of Africa, which cruisers
would be authorized to visit Spanish and Eng
lish vessels for the purpose Of preventing tbs
slave trade. The ministry at the same time
avahed themselves Of the occasion TO repel the
accusations of Lord Palmerston, which accusa-
tons they stigmstized as unjust
II il amusing to see Spain assuming this
position Of injured innocence, and perpetrsting
such gigantic sham as sending feet to cruises
for slavers, a. II she really meant to suppress
the obnoxious traffic. We know that sroh =
course would only be In accorslance
With the terms Of her treaty with Great
Brain; but nations have learned from
experience that Spain IL no respecbDr Of

vicious, they have been physically unable to
display their bloody propensities. They yearn
to fight with the cotton States; but shrink with
terror from the prospect of being bounded out
of the District of Columbia, by the militia of
Maryland and Virginia. Therefore, Congress,
in extra session, will be summoned to delibe-
rate, either respecting the means of collecting
the revenue, or how the Southern confederacy
may be reduced to obedience. The two sub
jects are practically identical. Invasion is i'm
possible; three or four thousand soldiers, more
or less, thrown into Forts Taylor, Pickens, and
Jefferson, would be a display Of weakness
rather than strength; neither Fort Pulaski nor
the defences Of the Balze could be retaken If
the whole navy of the country were arrayed
against them; and beyond authorizing such in
efectual annoyances, against which the South,
from Maryland to Texas, would rise as man,
in armed resistance, Legislation could effect but
little. However great the sectional animosity
of Congress may, therefore, be, 1t must exhaust
itself in endeavoring to force the Morrill, tariff
upon the South; whether II can do this re-
mains to be seen.
The ninth section of the first article Of the
constitution, provides, that "no preference
shall be given by any regulation Of commerce
or revenue, to the ports of one State over
those Of another" This excludes any legis-
lation by Congress which would close all OF
the ports Of any State-much more Of all Of the
seeding States The threat has, however been
made, that prominent ports Of entry shall be

The COWARD TO RICHMOND" CRY REVIVED
We notice that several of our fanatical contem-
poraries are reviving the old, disastrous cry of
Coward to Richmond" Nothing could be
more unwise, and it seems very singular that
these fanatics cannot understand this. No one
but the commanding general himself can know
the details Of his plans. the strength Of his
army, or the real value to him of his opportu-
mites. This immense rebellion, conceived
thirty years ago, and carefully matured and
planned by q generation of Southerners edu-
Gated into the idea of Southern confederacy
cannot be put down like riot. Consider the
strength Of the enemy, and then look at what
our army and navy have accomplished, and it
is evident that we have already done more than
could reasonably have been expected of us
The people should learn patience. General
Mcclellan asked it Of them and he will do JUS
tice to it in his own good time. Not until we
become conscious that our generals know more
of warfare than we do will we ever be satisfied
with their work. The sooner we learn this the
better for the army and the country.
