Preparations for Organizing q
Union Party.

A Baltimore letter, commenting upon
the Inaugural Address, closes with the
following:
Fortunately the Union and Mr.. Lin
coin are two things. Whilst he is the
ephemeral embodied representative of un-
important dogmas and of a broken polti-
cal faction, il remains q child of affection
with the sovereign people. to be nursed
and nurtured by them when he grows
powerless and is forgotten. Hope, there
fore, still fingers in this thought, and we
may look 20 the not distant future for an
expression of sentiment coming up with
potency from the masses, that will vet
restore our country to its wonted posi-
ton.
Preparations are now making in this
city and State to form solid. uncompro-
missing Union party, having in view the
election to Office henceiorward of none
but men who stand sqnarely, irreyocably

tingency-upon the Union PLATFORM

Mississippi Starvation.

That the reports of starvation in Missis-
sippi were not unfounded, is proved by
the following remarkable statement from
the Brandon Mss Republican:
major Hawkins is now on his way to
the western States to buy corn, as agent
for his friends and neighbors. He showed
us list of those who had requested him
to purchase for them, and also list of
those who were in destitute condition
and compelled to ask the citizens of the
western States. through him. to give them
corn to keep them and their families from
starving. The two lists comprised two
hundred and seventy nine names, want
ing from twenty 10 five hundred bushels,
and amounting in all to twenty-four thou
sand. seven hundred and thirty.six bush
els. Most of those sending are response
BILE men. but they cannot raise money TO
pay for it, and it 10 the intention of Maj.
Hawkins to lay the facts before those
who have corn for sale, and try to induce
them to sell corn on credit until next
fall"
We learn Maj. Hawkins has returned
with an ample supply OF Corn, a portion
of which was donated by the people among
whom he has been.

VIM. H. Seward,

On the evening of the 4th, large num-
Der Of New Workers called on Mr.. Sew.
ard in Washington. He made them a
brief speech, closing as follows:
"The Administration which you have
come here to inaugurate comes into pow
err under circumstances of embarrassment
and peril never before known in the his
tory of the Republic; but believe know
the character and purposes OF the Chief
Magistrate; believe that, while he will
be firm. he will also be just to every
State, and every section, and every citi-
zen; that he will defend and protect the
rights and interests, the peace and the
prosperity, of all the States equally and
alike, while he will prat tice the modera-
ton that springs from virtue. and the af-
lection that arises from patriotism in Con-
federated States. Under his guidance
and with the blessings of God, | believe
and trust, and confidently expect, that an
Administration that is inaugurated amid
some distrust and painful apprehension,
will close upon reunited. restored, pros
porous, free and happy Republic. The
State of New York, the greatest and most
powerful of the States, will lead all other
States in the way of Cancellation; and as
the path of wisdom is always the path of
peace, so that now we shall find that the
way ofconciliation is the way of wisdom"

Secession and Abolition.

We commend to those persons who are
constatly prating about their devotion to
the South, and at the same time advoca-
ting secession, the following significant
and truthful hints from the Cincinnati
Gazette, Republican paper. They are
themselves, many of them unwittingly, no
doubt, advocating policy which, if sue
cessful, would abolitionize the Border
States, and eventually turn the Gulf
States into another Hayti. The Gazette
says:
If the people Of the South woull suffer
themselves Tor one moment to see through
the mists Of passion, and examine their
situation by the light Of reason. they
could learn great lesson, from some of
the clear headed Abolitionists. The far
seeing, intelligent Abolitionists exult in
the condition Of the South; and they are
right. No fact is more certain than that
the American Constitution is the great de-
tfnse Of american ,Soray. Where else has
it either defense or sympathy? Is there
one nation in Europe which does not look
on the American system Of Slavery with
adherence? But under the ramparts of
the American Constitution it has the
whole power Of the American nation to
defend Its yght,. ubatev they may be.
local or national. Its representation in
Congress; its reclamation Of fugitivcs; its
peaceful rights Of p,operty:-all exist by
virtue Of the CoDstit ution. When an in
telligent Abolitionist sees these defenses
and rights under the Constitution volun-
tary thrown away, he exults ir the mad
ness which accomplishes his object, when
he has no power to do it himself. The
crisis of the day now depends on what
direction the Southern mind will take
No matter what the South does, the
American nation will go on in ar uninter-
rupted career of glory and grandeur.

A Golden Opportunity Lost.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury writes very MOURN
full letter to that journal, in regard to the
delay on the part Of South Carolina to
take Fort Sumter. He says the time is
now past. If Fort Sumter is to be taken,
the onus must be thrown upon the Con-
federacy. If it had been taken, says the
correspondent
1t would not only have made such a
breach between the North and the South
as to have lit up, in an uncomfortable
degree, the dormant Southern feeling
throughout the Border States, and swept
the Union savers and submissionists into
their political graves-bringing all those
States into the Confederate States-but
it would have given prestige and power
to the South Carolina delegation at Mont
gomery that would have enabled them to
engraft their State Right, Free Trade and
Pro Slavery cancellations upon the new
Constitution
