AN HISTORIC WARNING.

The two most effective weapons with which
the Democratic party used to assal the Wing
party, were
l. That it was accustomed to obtain power BY
the profession Of certain principles before the
people, during a political canvass, and then de-
sert them so soon as it was in position to en-
graft them upon the policy of the country.
II. That whenever the people CHANGED to con-
fide to it the conduct Of affairs, its leaders began
to show signs of trepidation, which, in the first
trying exigency, ultimated in proving their lnaoh-
ity to successfully administer the Government.
The persistent reiteratiOn OF these two charges,
accompanied by the occasional treachery or i'm
becility of certain Wing chiefs when in power
impressed masses of the people with the belief
that il was only the Democratic party which
combined in its ranks enough administrative ca
pacity and fidelity to principle for carrying on
the Government. This popular delusion enabled
the Democracy to win many of It's greatest VIC
tories within the last thirty years.
With these historic warnings before them, is 1t
not amazing that the very vices which the De
mocracy, with such destructive effect, used TO
charge upon the Wings, leading Republicans are,
by their present course, doing their utmost to
fasten upon the Republican party VIII euch
men never learn that party which shows that
it lacks either the honesty the capacity to adj
minister the Government according to the prin'
ciples upon which it attained power, ought to be,
and is sure to be, overthrow, buryine the lead
ers who have betrayed it under the broken frag-
mentsl

create naval force to defend Charleston, .'eau
fort, Georgetown, and the ooast reporaN,~
against John Brown insasiOus. He is probably
fully aware that small band of determined
AbolitiOnists, lowering on the coast in q small
steamer or swift sailing vessel, would make slave
property insecure for several miles inland, CON-
prisng the very part Of the State in which the
negro population is the densest and the white
population the most scanty
In some respects, however, the greatest out
rage yet committed by South Carolina is the ar,
rest Of DIR. Merriman the Collector Of the port
Of Georgetown, for treason, charged with clear
ing vessels in the name of the United States, and
with writing 10 the President for force to assist
him in collecting the revenue. VIII the Govern
ment desert this brave and loyal citizen, this
honest and deroted public oficer7 In former
days the American Government would not have
submitted for a moment to such an outrage, even
from the most powerful nation Of the world. 1t
would have interposed with all the power of the
Republic on behalf of its prosecuted representa-
live and agent. But Mr. Buchanan hestates and
halters, and talks of receiving Commissioners aud
of surrendering fortresses and making treaties
with rebel ambassadors. He should at once dis.
patch force to Georgetown to demand the re-
lease of Mr.. Merriman. He is much more likely,
Collector Of treason, to humble himself and the
nation BY begging Gov. Pickens graciously to par
don the offender.

profound sensation. He took the secession bull
by the horns in the most Straightforward and de-
termined manner, sverriDg the right of coercion,
advocating rigorous exercise Of the powers Of
the Government, to suppress the rebellion BY
force, declaring all attempts at compromise fu-
tile, all past compromises having been failures,
and seeing no solution of the existing difficulties
but in the reconstruction Of the Union BY con-
quering the revolted States aud readmitting them
on our own terms. The speech was received
with great applause by crowded galleries. This
is clearly the direction in which the folly, the
insults and the Outrages of the shareholders are
rapidly impellng the North.

A highly respectable journal of this city repre-
senting foreign interests, remarked the other day
that thOse Americans who bad been advocates Of
Revolution in Europe, now had the cup held to
their own lips and could more justly estimate tho
favor Of its contents.
This parallel is not exact. The revolutions
which We have applauded in Europe, some Of
them futile and others successful, have always
been intended to promote Liberty. The rebellion
now on foot in the Cotton States has for its OBJ
iect TO consolidate and extend Slavery. Garibsldi
reyOlutionizes Italy to emancipate, elevate, snd
tless mankind. South Carolina strikes at the
American Union that she may aggraadize and
strengthen the most atrocious and the most per.
nicious of human institutions. The one history
will cover with glory; the other she viii bury in
execration.

WEAKNESS OF THR GOVERNMENT

II il reported from Washington that Mr.
buchanan, having been bsfled in his frs. attempt
10 relieve Fort Sumter, has concluded to leave
Major Anderson TO his fate, on the ilea that that
officer does not ask for rctuiorcements' Tins
might very well have been sufficient reason Tor
refraining from sending him succor, II the al
tempt TO reinforce him had never been made.
But how stands the case nowl The question Is
no longer simply whether Major Anderson shall
be reinforced. The question il, Shall the Gov
eminent of the United States tamely submit to
be driven out of its own harb0rs by rebels
South Carolina not only dehes and insults the
United States, not only commits treason by
Selling arsenals and Custom Houses and forts,
but fires upon and beets back and puts
TO aieht-to ignoblo and preciptate flight
o vessel bearing the United States flag and con-
veying United States troops to Federal for
tress. And the President cooly sits down under
this disgrace, and folds his hands, aud declares
that he shau take no further steps in the
matter. :.
Meantime. the South Carolinians are triumph
ant and exultant over their exploit. Mlitar,
companies are pouring into Charleston from the
interior of the State, and we may soon expect
TO hear Of regular attack on Fort Sumter
The Legislature has passed resolutions declaring
that every attempt to reinforce Maj Anderson
will be regarded ss an act Of open hostility an'
a. n declaration of war as if war did not OIL
ready exist by the act of South Carolina Tn

this city who voted for Lincoln. " who coniess

with tears in their eyes, wish they could undo

Now, we can claim a pretty extensive 40
qusintance among the Lincoln men, aud we
selemnly declare that we haven't seen ono Of
them weeping or wishing he had voted TO please
the rebels and traitors Of South Carolina. They
all deplore the unreasOning madness which has
plunged that State into the abyss Of anarchy and
ruin and which is bringing other States in tho same
direction; they lament the suffering inflicted on
great numbers Of innocent peoples but they arc
firm in their devotion to the Constitution and
the Union, and are resOlutely determined if poe
sible to have this pestilent question Of Slavery
extension now put to rest forever, 80 that 1t
