Z The article on our hrst page from that arch
enemy Of the South, the New York Tribune in
reference to the seizure of the Federal capital
by Southern citizens evincs the malignant hate
cherished by the ireesoi party towards those in
the South who are disposed to resist the naugu
ration Of Lincoln But while il does tbi. there
il an evident feeling Of alarm manifested in It's
enrns, appeal to place the capital in condi'
ton Of defence
Nothing ia easier than for united South tn
prevent the Inauguration Of Lincoln, take pos
session Of the Federal capital and enforce just
terms Of separation. The sagacious editor OF
the Tribune sees this He knows that coercion
without the concentrating power Of the Federal
Government, is ont Of the question, and that
Northern army for aggression and subjugn,ion
could no, be raised, or IL raised would never
reach the Southern boundary.

to keep the bottle in the kitchen for a
