A ROMAN CATuoHe JOURNAL IN New YoRK
on THE Wharf.-The N. Y. Tablet, a Roman
Catholic Journal utters these patriotic senti-
ments:
In common with, perhaps, a large majority
Of the people of the North, we wished to
live in peace and harmony with the South,
and we believed that the best way to pro-
mote and maintain that peace was to let our
Southern neghbols manage their own bust
ness, provided they did not interfere with
ours. If this course had been taken, in all
probability affairs had never come to this
crisis but now that the harm is done and
the Southerners have seen fit to have recourse
to war for a settlement of differences whicl
might have been arranged on more amicablt
terms, we deem it the duty of every gooc
citizen, be his creed or politics what they
may, to stand by the Government of the
country in defense of the Union. 1t matters
not 10 US what political party hold the reins
the Tablet is committed to no party in tn,
State, and speaks for none, but it will evel
support the Government of the United State,
without regard to the name of the chief mag
istrate or the peculiar shade of his politics

IrIsro BE HOPED that when California
knocks for admission at the door of the South
ern Confederacy, she will not be compelled,
by the Cotton State leaders, to stay out in
the cold as long as they kept her out when
she applied for admission into the Federal
Union. 1t is also to be hoped that, if ever
she is admitted to the pleasures of the Seces-
sion hell, the same Cotton State leaders viii
not threaten to make her unwecome presence
a pretext for shiyering the Davis Govern
ment to pieces, as, in 1850, they threatened
to dissolve the Union if she was admitted into
its fold.

The ST. LOUIS EDITOR RELEASED BY FRE-
MoNr,-About week ago the news came
that the Provost Marshal of St. Louis had
arrested the editor and proprietor of the St
Louis Evening News. The announcement
called forth, here loud denuneiations of Gen
Fremont. The Bulletins st. Louis correspond
ent informs us that the persons SO arrested
"were released without conditions on the day
following by order of General Fremont. =
This looks as though the arrest was never
ordered by Gen. Fremont. The Provost
Marshals in military districts may make
hundreds of arrests without consulting the
commanding General in each instance.

Secession Made Easy.

Not satisfied with the late formal act OF
taking Missouri out of the Union by the Con-
federate Congress, Claib jackson got a few
members of his defunct Legislature together
recently at Lexington, and passed an ordi-
nance of secession. This measure is probably
about as good as the other Union
We expect soon to hear that a portion o.
the delegates to the last Secession State Con-
vention held in this State, have met in some
dark alley, and passed an ordinance ofSeces-
sion. Ofcourse the news will never be pub
lished here, until we receive it, through The
medium of some treasonable sheet, like the
Louisville Courier, accompanied with some
such announcement as the following:
"Malor General Charles L Scott, will soon
march for California via Texas and Arizona,
with force of15,000 true sons Of the South
in compliance with the request of Governor
Mcconnell, who finds the Northern invaders
in the Golden State too numerous and pow
erful for the Calfornians to deal with in the
field. The insolent intruders call themselves
citizens of the State, and one of them, named
Stanford, claims to be Governor. The forces
of Governor Mcconnell, under the able com
mand of Generals Bolts and Robinson, aidet
by the gallant fellows under Scott, will, w
doubt not, speedily restore California to he
allegiance to the Southern Confederacy ant
to that peace which can only be enjoyed
where our ardent sons are in possession o
the public offices. A number of incendar,
sheets are now being published in California
which openly oppose peace upon these just
and to us, wholesome terms. We hop
soon to hear that the voice of reason an,
moderation is again heard on the Pacif
Coast, and that the vulgar tribe who styl
themselves Unionists, have been driven igno
miniously from the presence of gentlemen.

~ The New York Weekly has the following
anecdote about two of our distinguished fellow
citizens, who were rival politicians when young
men-Ex- Gov. Hammond and Thomas ID. Wal
pole We believe the paragraph originally APP
pcared some years ago in the Knickerbocker, and
both gentlemen at that time owned up to the
corn. Some of their early campaigns in Hancock
would make rich volume of wit and humOr:
VERBAL SHARP -SHooTING-The politicians
casionally say good thing fear stump ora
tory, at its best estate, is altogether vanity; an
immeasurable waste-''stale, fiat and unprotita
ble" The stray sunbeam of wit or humOr is ali

have often thought of shot from Tom Walpoles 5
bow, that transfxed Abe Hammond. Both were
candidates for the State Senate. Walpole,
an old stager, cunning as a fox, good
speaker, and thoroughly acquainted with the
people Hammond, a man of talents,
but novice in the field. After 4 period spent
in the ordinary process of electiOneering, meet
ing was held at the county town, where all the
candidates were to appear and make speeches
Hammond had satisfied himself that he was pur-
suing "cold trail, and i'm his turn to speak,
told the sovereign public that he had been a can
didate nine days, and having convinced himself
that all efforts to must prove abortlye, he
had determined to retire from the canvass and
accordingly, to use our Western phrase. he "hum
mu1ed." The temptation to Walpole was ire
sistible: "Ye,, fellow citizens" said he, ''you
all know it takes puppy just nine days to get
his eyes open"
Tom Marshall did nearly as well when Pitcher
was harranguing about 'his father being n poor
man-ils father was Il cooper" and more OF that
sort of thing. Marshall said he would admit the
gentleman's father was poor man; perhaps he
had been a cooper, but if he was, he had put a
mighty poor head to one of his whisky barrels.

May Is, 1861


The Secretary Of the Treasury has ordered the
stOppage Of supplies of any kind for the rebellious
States, at Cairo. The same order has been given
at other points on the Ohio river where custom
Offices are located This subject WIS made
question for discussion in the House yesterday, in
connection with proposition for the enactment
of some law for the relief of debtors. Ii was
argued BY the friends Of the proposition, that it
was unfair to deprive the farmer, the manufactu-
rer and the mechanic of the markets which they
have relied upon for the sale of the product, of
their labor and yet permit the laws for the en-
forcement of the collection of debts to remain in
full force against them. If deprived Of market
their resources are cut off and they unable to
meet their obligations. In such case it is evil
dsntly unjust to compel debtor to sacrifice his
property If we tar his patriotism to the extent
of deprivng him of his market for the sale of his
products, it is certainly unfair and ungenerous on
the part of the State to deny him the relief within
its power. The stoppsge Of supplies will operate
with peculiar hardship upon the citizens of south
Indiana, and those of the middle part of the
State will also feel its effects They are perfectly
willing to yield implicit obedience to the policy of
the Government, but they insist that the Govern
ment shall at the same time protect them from the
sacrifice OF forced sales of property. We are not
prepared to say what the remedy should be, or
its extent, but some measure Of relief should
be granted. Ii has been suggested that the func-
tons of judicial officers in civil cases shall be
suspended for limited period. so the people of
the State may have an opportunity to adapt them
selves to the new condition of affairs. If the
collection of debts is enforced under present cir
custances thousands will be ruined, while If time
is extended to them, they may be able to work
through, pay their debts and save their property
This matter is worthy of consideration. We re

The Prcpnration, south.

All the indications South point to the accumu-
latiop and concentration of very large numbers
of soldiers in the neighborhood of Richmond.
Passengers represent the whole South as in mo-
tion, but some allowance must be made for ex-
aggeratiOn by persons not accustomed to the
movements of troops, or able always to estimate
their numbers. 1t is evident, however that the
South is preparing largely for the struggle, and
that il will not lack soldiers. Over 20, 900 men,
the Richmond Enquirer says, have responded to
Gov. Letcher's call. In Alabama there are ; 900
men ready for the field 1000 men are ready for
action in South Carolina with 4 reserve force of
1900 Mississippi has sent down her quota.
From Georgia we have no direct intelligence and
the Louisiana men are mostly at Pickens 1t j.
said however, that there is an organized force i'm
the Confederate States of 100, 900 men, of which
$1,000 can he concentrated in eight DAYS at any
point the Northern border. These statements
are made in Southern journals, and it would not
be safe to entirely discredit them. The dream OF
possessing Washington still haunts the minds OF
the more rabid rebels, and possibly they may be
mad enough to make the heattempt yet, though the
result, in the present state of preparation to re
ceive. scarcely be doubtful. The Federal
Government has no doubt reliable information
of the rebel force can be procured, and the
military sagacity of Scott is not likely to be de
ceived.-PhiIadelrhiG Ledger.

The Issue.

There is no mistakng the prospect before u.s.
Ths political difficulties of the country will be
settled by the sword and by that alone. The con-
tending sections of the country marshalling
their forces for the contest, and civil war, with
all its horrid consequences, will soon be inaugu-
rated. As the New York Tribune remarks. ga
peaceful adjustment is a sheer impossibility," !"
and "let the folly be utterly hooted of supposng
the rebels will not fight. They riH fight, they
must fight, and that desperately" Eastern Vir
ginia will be the scene of the great conflict. The
report. indicate that the confederate forces are
rapidly concentrating in that quarter. They
will have large army well disciplined, well
equipped and well prepared for the contest The
Government will be fully prepared to meet them.
And when it comes the conflict will be terrible,
or else we are mistaken in the character OF the
men who are engaged in the struggle. What
ever may be the result of the first contest, the
Government must eventually triumph. She has
the resources to insure this result-the men, the
money, the navy and the determination to main
tain the integrity of the Union. no matter what
may be the sacrifice to secure it.
Whatever individual opinions may be enter
tanned as to the policy of the war or the causes
which have produced it, the responsibility OF
the crisis can not be evadci. There is now
no choice in the matter. The Government
must be sustained, and the sooner the con-
test can be determined the better for the
country. Hourly we expecting to chronicle
thebegnning of hostilities, and when commenced
there will be no cessation of the struggle until
determined by the arbtrament which has been
forced upon the nation. The Administration has
settled its policy; and it is that there shall be
dismemberment of the Union. The Govern
ment has determined to conquer a peace, and the
sword will be sheathed until the issue is de-
termned. After the issue OF force is settled,
there will arise the greater question of the re-
construction of the government, and the terms
upon which it shall be constructed.

The Louisville Journal of yesterday, in re-
sponse to the inquiry what shall the Legisla-
ture now do?" thus presents its views as to the
duty of Kentucky in the present crisis:
In our judgment, the people OF Kentucky have
answered this question in advance. and the an
swer, expressed in every conceivable form of pop
ular expression, and, finally clinched BY the glo-
rious vote of Saturday. il: Arm Kentucky, eff
cientIy but rightfuIy and fairly, with the clear de
claratiOn that the arming is not for ofense against
either the Government or the seeding States, but
purely for defense against whatever power sets
hostile foot upon the actual soil Of the common
wealth. In other words, the Legislature, ac-
cOrling to the manifest will Of the people, should
declare the neutrality of Kentucky in this unnat-
uraI and accursed war of brothers, and equip the
State for the successful maintenance Of her po-
sitiOn at all hazards. And when the Legislature
shall have done this, it may, in our opinion,
wisely adjourn, leaving the cause of peace and
of constitutional government. SO far as Ken
lucky is concerned, in the hands of the Twelve
Mediators whom the people of the Common
wealth have just chosen expressly for that high
custodianship. This, it seems to me, as il
plainly seems to the people at large, is what the
Legislature should now do.
