Tennessee journal on the Present Cris
Border States.

A Tepnessee Journal on the Present Cris
n- sn,s-Adyscaey of the Independence OF the
The Memphis (Tenn.) DulIetin says:
The whole country is now arming, and
men are every where preparing for the shock
of civil war. The call Of the Government
for large bodies of men is responded to with
alacrity in some parts, with reluctance in
others, and in some is promptly refused. No
slaveholding State is likely TO reply favor
ably, and it will be with difficulty that
efficient aid can be drawn from several Of the
free States. Indiana and Illinois are not
prepared to make war on Kentucky and
Tennessee, nor will they be, without further
provocation. The eight slaveholding States
still acknowledging their fealty to the
Union, we hope, may continue firm and
united. They hold in their hands, and may
continue TO hold, the balance of power.
Concert Of action among themselves Is
easily secured, and conciliation is their true
policy conciliation of the Southern Con-
Federation on the one hand, and the States
of the Northwest on the other. To the one
they owe alliance, by the strong bonds of
identity Of ofinstitutions and interests, and to
the other by profitable commerce and
friendly association. A position in the least
degree hostile toward either is eschewed
and condemned. Independent of both,
these eight States can well afford to Guilt
vate the most amicable relations with them,
and even close alliance for the common BEN
eft of all. Certainly, it is net their policy
to decline proffers of friendship made by
either, any more than it is to unite with
either in such manner as TO place them
selves in a subordinate position.
Virginia has only to take bold stand
against oppression and usurpstion, and her
seven sympathiziDg sisters will rally round
her with frmness and vigor; while so large
portion of the great West will concur in
the proceeding as TO render 9 war between
the North and the South impracticable, and
finally result IN peaceful arrangement of
present difficulties. We hope and trust
there may be no Secession, laying the
groundwork for future dissolutions Of gov
ernment, but bold and decided revolution
rather, which shall leave the associated
States at full liberty 10 form among them
selves "a more perfect Union," and more
substantial and enduring Government.
Surely these eight States embracing q
population exceeding 1000, 600, and grasp
ing the central and most favored portion Of
the continent with their exemption from
the burning summers of the South, and the
freezing winters of the North, extending
their territory, as they may do, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, have it in
their power to organize their own independ-
ence, and to maintain II against the world.
And it may be safely left with them TO de-
termine whether they will admit any num-
Der Of non slaveholding States, and upon
what terms.

To tie Editors Of Ghe Daily Press:
The origin of the popular national anthem
(or by whatever name 1t may be called) was
in this wise: During the war with Eu-
gland (l8l2) British feet assembled the
Chesapeake Bay, avowedly for the purpose
of capturing the City of Baltimore. Troops
were landed at "North Point" under COM
mand of Gen. Ross, to march thence to the
city while the feet should open upon Fort
McHenry. In its approach TO Baltimore the
feet had made prisoners ofmany well-known
citizens of Maryland, and, at the faue time,
we held goodly number of the English
prisoners Of war. The Government, at
Washington, was desirous to effect an ex-
change Of prisoners to attack, and Francis
8. Key, at the time prominent lawyer, was
sent down to the feet, under a flag of truce,
TO effect an exchange of prisoners. It SO
happened that he reached the Admirars
ship on theevening previous to the day which
had been agreed on between the land aud
naval forces, to attack the city and the fort
Mr.. Key was detained on board of one of the
ships, as the Admiral did not desire informa.
tion OF his design to lombard the fort to
reach Baltimore. The fleet opened FIRE and
land forces advanced. Gen. Ross was slain,
aud his command retreated. The fire from
the feet continued throughout the day and
night-the "Star-spang,e1 Banner con-
tinuing to feat over the brave defenders of
Fort McHenry, in despite of the shot aud
shells flung at it from the wooden walls of
old England. Mr.. Key was permitted to
come on deck, at the dawn Of day, and
glanciDg his eye toward that spot where, the
night previous, he left the proud banner of
his country waving, he beheld 1t still haunt-
ing in the breeze, in defiance Of its naughty
foe. On the deck Of a British man.of war,
and under the circumstances thus briefly
narrated, Francis s. Key was inspired with

after years, Mr.. Key, and | have heard him
relate the incident Of his detention on board

DEFENSE OF MAJOR AsDERsoS.-The Bos-
ton Journal says:
The accumulated accounts Of the reduction
Of Fort Sumter only confirm the conviction,
entertained by the people at large, Of the
perfect fidelity and admirable conduct Of
Major Anderson. He did all that could pos
sibiy have been done in defense Of his posi-
tion-held out wonderfully, in fact-and
yielded and marched out Of his no longer
spirit and pluck. His brief dispatch to the
Secretary of War tells the whole story with
true sOldieFIy pith and modesty. AlIhonor
to the gallant Major Let all who have
allowed any circumstances TO suggest doubts
In their minds of his patriotic Integrity, at
once exonerate him in thought, OF in word II
necessary and let the lovers of the Union
everywhere remember and forever cherish
the name of Robert Anderson.

The Great Yirrue OF an stIrn

The N. 7. Historical Magdsias brings out
a curious fact in connection with the late
visit of the Prince of Wales, accompanied as
he was during a portion Of his tour by the
Marquis of Cbandos. In 1886 Parliament
passed an act (2s Hen. VII. c. u which
gave the King power 10 dispose Of the
crown in case of failure Of his own issue
"by last will signed by his oaSn hand"
A will was undoubtedly drawn up by
HenIys direction under the authority Of
this statute, by which failing issue Of his
SOB, Edward, and daughters Mary and Eliza
beth, he disinherited the heirs Of his elder
sister Margaret Tudos, Queen Of Scotland,
and directed that the crown should descend
10 the heira Of HE younger sister Mary.
Henry at the time the will was drawn was
unable to sign his name OF had grown too
indolent, and had ordered public documents
to be signed with stamp by certain lords
of his council.
This will was 50 signed, and therefore, al
| though recorded in ChRneery, upon proc
that the signature was not made by the
Kings own hand as the permissive statute
| directed, the entry was cancelled in QueeE
Marys time. The Will ITSELF however, 4
still in existence and had it been held 10 b
| valid the Stuart dynasty could never havl
assembled the throne or given way to thl
House Of Orange and the Guslphs. D. B0l /.
| In that case tbe heirship TO the throne 0
England would now be vested in the Mar
quis Of Ohandos, the lineal descendant o
Mary Tudor, and his father the Duke 0
Buckingham would be King. Again; ha

Secession without Precedent in HistOr

Secession without Prec edent In History.
DR.. Francis Lieber's two lectures on the
"Copstitution of the United States" re-
Gently delivered in the school of Columbia
College, have just been published - the
same pamphlet containing an address on
Secession, written for Fourth Of July cele-
bration, at Greenville, s. O., In 1851. In
this address an able Argument Is given
against the right of Secession, and adduces
the following historical instances:
Now, have taken the pains of examining
all confederacies Of which we have any
Knowledge. In none of the many Greek
confederaeies did the right of Secession
exist, SO far as we can trace their funda-
mental principles. In some rare cases an
unfaithful member may have been expelled.
But in the most important of these con-
federscies, and in that which received the
most complete organization, resembling, in
many points, our own-in the Acb@an
League, there existed no right of Secession,
and this is proved by the following case:
When the Romans bad obtained the su-
premacy over Hellas, and Greece was little
more than province of Rome, the Etolians
respectfully waited upon the Roman COM
missioner, Gallus, 10 solicit permission to
secede from the League. He sent them to
the Senate, and the Secessionists obtained at
Rome the permission to withdraw - no
" leading case" suppose, for Americans.
The Amphiclyoric Council allowed of no
Secession. IL was Pan, Hellenic, aud never
meant to be otherwise. The medieval
Leagues Of the Lombard cities, of the
SWabian cities, permitted no spontaneous
withdrawal; but the fortunes OF the iercest
wars waged against them by the nobil-
ity would occasionally wrench off meul-
ber and produce disruptions. The great
Hanseatic League, which. by its powerful
union of distant cities, became one Of the
most efficient agents in ciyill9ing Europe,
and which, as Mr.. Huskisson stated in Par
lament, carried trade and manufacture into
England, knew nothing Of Secession until
the year 1880, when the princes, greedy for
the treasures of her cities had deeTeed her
destruction, aud forced many members 70
secede. This is no leading case either.
The Swiss ConfederNcy, the GermaniC
FEDERATION, knew and know nothing of So
cessi0H; nor did she United States Of the
Neiherlahdsrso much studied by some o
our trainers, and by Washington among
them-admit the withdrawal of any single
