The present critical state Of European affairs will
render these publications. unusually interesting during
the forthcomit & year. They will occupy middle
ground between the hastily written news-items crude
speculations, and flying rumors of the aaiy Journal
and the ponderous Tome of the future history writ
ten after the living interest and excitement of the
great poieical events Of the time shall have passed
away 1t is TO these Pero icals that readers must
look for the only really ineligible and reliable histo-
y Of current events. and such in addition to their
well'esiabIshed literary, scientific, and theological
character, we urge them upon the consideration OF
the reading public.

One of the most noticeable signs of the
times, as respects the under current of
popular feeling outside the pale of the
politicians, is the letters which the mem
bers of the convention are in the habit of
gettiUg-revealing as they do, the deter
mination of the people to rise above and
beyond the illusions and madness of the
hour, and think and act for themselves in
reference to the scheme of secession. One
of our delegates (NIr, HubbardJ yesterday
received patriotic letter from gentle
man in the Southwestern portion of the
State, high in position, exhorttng him and
his fellow Union members to stand un-
quoiIed before either the threats or tn.
maneuvres of the disunionists. The best
portions of the letter are so mingled up
with aIIusions of a private nature, that 1
would be doing injustice to the distinguish

The Gull States. by the Inauguration of
Gen. Davis us Provisional President, have
perfected the outline of their Government
The most striking trait of these arrange
pents Is the frigid disregard with which
the more northern tier Of Slave States
have been treated. Their action has not
been waited for their opinions have not
been consulted; u form of government
has been adopted without reference 10
themi the Offices under it have been filled
exclusively from the Cotton States, The
President and Vice President have been
taken from Mississippi and Georgia; none
OF the gentlemen said to be selected for
seats in the Cabinet are from beyond tile
limits Of the actual Confederscy The
foreign Epvoys are chosen by the same
rule and what legislation has been adop-
ted has not been of q character to conciii-
ate the good will of the doubtful sover-
eighties. 1t is obvious, therefore, that if
the latter secede at once from their North
ern associations, they can only assume
towards the Southern Government an at
iitude of independence; presenting to the
world the spectacle of eight nowerful
States submitting to the rule Of seven
| others, weaker in resources aud populu-
ton, and addicted t9, schemes Of external
aggrandizement and internal ECONOMY,
fatal to the interests of the Confederation,
and yet beyond the control of a couserva-
tive counterpoise. Evidently, none but
absolutely desperate positions can impel
Eirgtnin, Kentucky or Tennessee into n re-
lAtio9 such as this. is5,e ssr
On.the other hand, by remaining With
IN the Northern Union, these States com
nHnd hpotential voice in the conduct OF
Federal affairs, and retain what'they must
otherwise forfeit the faculty of self,gov-
ernment. Indeed. so we'll satisfied are the
Free States with the devotion these com
nuntttes have manifested to the Union and
Constitution, that what might otherwise
be deemed An undue influence in leVisIa-
uOn will unquestiOnnbly be granted to

The N. Y. Herald, in an article upon
the new Cabinet. is Of the opinion that
Lincoln has made the same fatal error
in the selection Of his Cabinet that
Pierce DID ia making up his. That is,
he has evinced strong desire to please
everybody in the Republican party, as
did Pierce in the Democratic party.
The result will be divided counseIs and
continued wrangling about those mat
ters where the greatest unanimity OF SEN
t.mcnt should prevail. The country is
waiting for line OF policy.
