The time is rapidly "pproachng when the
people OF this State will he called upon 10
elect individuals to represent them in the
Federal Congress 1t is all important that
these representatives should be men who will
unite with Douglas, Breckiulidge, and all
other good men to preserve peace -ErPresS
Yes, You ought to ssnd back Scott and
Burch. Why don't you let Seward in in
your peace party? Seward is for peace, too
Douglas is willing to ignore party, you say.
Breckenridge is also, you add. Well, Seward
cmphaticalIy says he is, and we don't see how
you are going to keep him out of your peace
party,
TO be more serious, do you pretend to say
that Douglas is for peace on your rlanF DO
you mean to say that Douglas is forever OPP
posed to coercion, under all circumstances
whatever, whether Compromise fails or not
DO you mean to say that he will cooperate
with party which stands orgenzcd for the
sole purpose of tying up the hands Of the
Federal Government and giving full liberty
to any and every body to resist, rebel against
and repudiate Federal authority? DO you
mean to declare that Stephen A. Douglas de-
sires peace on the ground that Secession is
tight and that there is no such thing as the
! power of coercion in the Federal Govern
ment? Do you mean to have it understood
that he is prepared to join an organic ton
Who-e sole business will be to stand by the
door of the Union and see that it is opened
wide to let out all the States of the Confed-
eracy. one by one, as fast as they want to go
Do you suppose he is going to have anything
to do with such "peace party" as hat?
Why. Douglas is a patriot. He loves his
country. He would see the Union preserved.
He opposes coercion, as policy. nor because
OF that desire TO preserve the Union. There
are others who oppose coercion, because they
simply do not want any distractions thrown
in the way of the steps taken to dissolve the
Union. They want the Union destroyed,
and oppose coercion because it would inter
fere with that object, The two motives are
very different. JEFF Davis and Barnwell
Rhett are opposed to coercion. but it don't
follow that Douglas is of the same opinion
with them. The people must analyse mo-
tves, and be careful not to be deceived 10y
mere names. peace party is very
specious term, but it means, in the case of
those now using it, party which is ready to
give full swing to secession, TO Pacific Repub-
lies and to verylhing else that may come
along Of like character, on the ground that
there is no power of coercion in the Federal
Government That such is the meaning of
this peace party is plain. If there be no
power OF coercion, in any case at ALL does il
not follow that secession, rebellion, aud the
like must flourish uuquestioued, and sweep
down all law before it, This is no throwing
Of a slur or a mere act Of giving names, by
way of tsuut, it is the pure logic Of the case,
such is the party, and no reasoning can make
it out anything else.

The KENTUCKY AND ONO MANDAMus s-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says. March 18th:
Chief Justice Taney delivered an opinion in
the matter Of the Commonwealth ofKentucky
against the Governor of Ohio, Dennslon de-
cidiug it was case of original jurisdiction.
and in effect one State against another, and
therefore the Court has jurisdiction under the
Constitution. 1t is a case 10 compel the Gov
ernor of Ohio, by mandamus, to surrender
fugitive from Justice from Kentucky. The
Court say hat the demanding State has a
right to have every such fugitive deliver
up +; that the State OF Ohio has 40 right to en-
ter into the question as to whether the act of
which the accused is criminal or not in Ohio,
that it vas a crime in Kentucky, and it is the
duty of the Governor of Ohio to deliver up,
upon any proI er proofs that the act charged
Is crime by the laws OF Kentucky that the
Act OF Congress OF 1893 determines what evi-
dence is TO be submitted to the State of Ohio;
that the duty of the Governor is ministerial
merely like that of Sheriff or Marshal, and
appeals to his good faith in the discharge of
constitutional duty for the reason that Con-
gress cannot impose any Federal duty on the
officers of State; aud that where such OIL
GERS are called upon 10y an Act of Congress to
perform such duty, .hc conceires it to be but
good sense and good faith on their part to do
so. And on these grounds the mandamus is
refused.
THE Arkansas Convention adjourned after
passing secession ordinance and co opera
ton resolutions for submission to the popular
vote. concialory spirit i manifested by
both parties. 1t appears from the dispatches
hat the above action was the result Of COM
promise by which the people shall vote on
the first Monday in August for delegates to
the Border State Convention, the State Con-
vention TO assemble on the the third Monday
IN August The popular vote is to he a test
between the co-operalieuists and secession
ISIS, although the reports are obscure rs TO
how the question is to be determined The
inference is that the test will be in the elec-
iion of delegates to the Border State Conyen-
tion.
FLOODED. Several of our citizens, says the
Sacramento Union, who have taken up and
improved swamp lands, eight or ten miles
north of the city, have felt some little un
easinrss for several days past at the prospect
of their ranches being flooded. The water
has been gradually spreading over the low
grounds during the past week. Yesterday
morning information was brought to the city
that the water was still rising, and active
preparations were made for removing rnmi-
lies to the city. and stock to other portions OF
the country. The parties referred to went
up the river in boats, as it would he mpos--

WAsuINGroN ON CoERcIoN.-During Shay s
rebellion, Washington wrote the following
letter to Colonel Henry Lee, then in Con-
gress The letter is given by Irving, vol. iv.,
p. 489, and the italics are those of Washing
ton:
You talk, my good sir, of employing in
huence to appcase the present tumnit in
Massachusetts,. | know not where that in
luence is to be found, or if attainable, that
it would be "A proper remedy for the disor-
ders. Influence is not government. Let US
have Government by which our lives lib
critics and properties will be secured. or let
us know the worst at once There is a call
for decision. Know precisely what the in
surgents aim at If they have real grievances,
redress them if possible, or acknowledge lhs
justice Of them and your inability to do it at
the moment. If they have not, employ the
force Of the government against them at
once If this is inadequate, all will be con-
vinced thet the superstructure is bad and
waits support To delay one or the other of
these expedients is to eXasperate on the one
hand, or give confidence on the other.
Let the reins OF Government,
then, be braced and held with steady hand.
and every violation be reprehended If de-
lective, let it be amended, but not suffered to
be trampled upon whilst it has an existence.

DOUGLAS ON CoERCIoN.-But coercion must
always be used in the mode prescribed in the
constitution and laws | hold that the Fed
eral government is, and ought to be, clothed
with the power and duty to use all the means
necessary to ceerce obedience to all laws
made in pursuance of the Constitution. But
the proposition to subvert the de tacto for
egn government Of South Carolina, and to
reduce the people Of that State into suffice
tion to our Federal authority no longer in
wolves the question of enforcing the laws in
a country within our possession; but does in
volve the question whether we will make war
on a State which has withdrawn her allegi-
ance and expelled our authorities, with
view of suhjeeting her to our possession for
the purpose of enforcing our laws within her
limits.

A DISPATCH to the Richmond Enquirer
gives flattering picture of the strangers
who now abound at Washington: The ex-
terror appearance, pinched and cunning fea-
lures, and scanty wardrobes of the one thous
and visitors here, is the subject of general
remark. The conductors of the various rail-
road trains say, that on an average, there is
only one trunk to one hundred passengers.
The rest are supplied with carpet sacks The
hotels and boarding houses ask pay in ad-
vance, The hackmen grumble at the mean
ness of visitors, The BARRIERS and boot
blacks are momentarly asked for the loan
of razors and brushes, without even receiv-
ing thanks in return; all of which painfully
exhibits the difference between the new pa
irons and the princely Southerners."

sequence of the unavoidable absence Of the
Rector, on business connected with this
Church, the same will be closed on Sunday
The Rector is using his exertions below, we
understand, to raise funds to pay off the debt
of the Episcopal Church. This church has
already cost 81 900, and it seems pity that
SO valuable property should be lost for the
want of the small euin Of $4,000, that being
the amount necessary to free it from all in
tunibranco. Certainly the friends Of the
church should strive to procure tbs sum and
relieve the difficulty If the effort fails now,
it will be years before the Episcopal Church
can be re-establi5hed in this city. The Rec
tor will be able, no doubt by any sort ofli6-
eraliiy on the part Of the friends Of the
Episcopal Church in san Francisco and in
Biary perhaps in Saorrnonto and else
whore, to procure the sum of money requir-
cd. Whatever ie done, however, must be
