Should they join the latter Confederacy
the result seems inevitable, however to be
deprecated. As each in succession be-
comes the frontier, seli.protection will re.
quire it to part with its slaves. II will
then no longer consent to be taxed for
the support or fight for the protection Of
slavery, but will join the Free Stntes.--

it hard to do this, whatever may be the
case with their more Northern sisters.---
They will find their interest in not rum

from soil and climate, be but laggards in

gsS.. The Baltimore american gives the
following as Washington rumor:-It has
been discovered within few days, that
two millions of dollars are missing from
the United States Treasury that'is not ac-
counted for on the books. The clerks
have been busy ever since the discovery
searching the books TO ascertain whether
an actual robbery has been committed to
the above amount or not. The matter is
not yet known to the public, but the Off
GERS Of the Government are in the secret,
and very much exercised, fearing the re.
port may prove true right upon the ex-
element consequent upon the robbery in
the Interior Department. '-4 aa

two, and it is seriously contemplated to
institute a through investigation into the
affairs of each bureau of each of the de-
partments. Congress could not be enga-

Working Mems Union Meeting in
Louisville.

We copy the subjoined extract from
the proceedings of meeting held in
Louisville last Saturday night, from re-
port in the journal:
' IMMENSE UNION RALLY.
5000 WORKING MEN IN CouNCiL!l
An adjourned meeting Of the Mechan-
les and Working-men of Louisville was
held at the Courthouse last Saturday
evening. The meeting was even more
numeiously attended than tho preceding
one, and the feeling was equally as dis.
tinctly in favor of the Union. The great
est enthusiasm prevailed and every pa
triotic sentiment was eagerly aprlauded
One feature wasa procession from the
Eighth Ward numbering several hun
drcd, that marched to the Courthouse
with music and proceeded by the stars
and stripes. In the hall the band played
Yankee Doodle and other national airs,
and each was received with cheers and
enthusiasm.
= The meeting resumed the organiza-
ton of the preceding one, and its OBJ
jcct was the furtnerance of some of the
ideas and plans expressed in the resolu-
tions adopted and published In pursu-

Forced Loans.
[Fron the Nashville Palriot.l ]

A telegraphic dispatch, few days ago,
from Charleston, announced that loan
OF S50O000. which the State of South
Carolina proposed to accept, had been
parceled out amongst a number of veal
thy citizens, who, If they did not fork
over, were to be regarded as disaffeotcd.
This is an imitation of Mexican policy
Every few months, in that model repub-
lic, as some new military chief seizes pow.
er, or an old one in power feels need OF
money, a forced loan is collected from
citizens, and in many cases from foreign
ers, who happen to have the reputation
OF being wealthy. Before South Carroll
ma gets through her political and finan-
cial troubles, and becomes respectable
nation, her wealthy citizens will have
to submit to the pressure of many forced
loans, or be squeezed neasly'to death be-
tween the upper and neither mill-stones
of taxation. We presume they expected
and are not unwilling to bear these bur-
dens. II they are not, it was folly in
them to embark their fortunes on the
tide Of revolution. Something more ma
terial than mere paper bulletins is neces-
sary to place State, successfully, in the
catalogue of nations. ....
These are things which the people of
the Southern States must all consider.
They are tending to revolution rapidly;
and it is the part of wisdom to count the
cost of change of governments. They
ought not to go blindly on expecting a
continuation of the prosperity and hap
piness which they have enjoyed under
the present government. 1t they do,
they will be doomed to bitter disappoint-
mcnt. There are difficulties, priyations
and dangers to be encountered. These
cannot he avoided. How great thev
may be, can scarcely be conjectured, for
having known only the advantages OF
good government, our people have no
just idea of the suilerings cntailcd by
revolution, civil war, and oppressive tax
alton. Let the people of the Southern
States investigate these grave matters,
and then when they have satisfied them
selves of the perils which lie in their
path, decide as they think best.

ARREST OF SLAVE AND HIS RETURN TO
HIS CLAIMANT.-A negro man named Ed
ward Vansickle, was arrested by William
L. Manson, Deputy United States Mar
shal, yesterday, on board of the steamboat
Collier, taken before United States Com
missioner, Thomas Powell and within a
few minutes was on his way to Covington,
being summarily adjudged slave by that
officer. rfr
The warrant was sworn out by r. NJ.
Moore, agent for Peter Smith and others,
trustees Of the estate of Eli Vansickle,
deceased and placed in the hands of Mr..
Manson. 1t is alledged that the negro
boy" ran away from his masters planta-
ton in the vicinity of Louisville, Ken
tucky, about eight months ago, and that
since that time he has eluded tho vigil
lance of his claimants, until they learned
of his employment ON steamboat. 1t
would seem from the fact that Edward
failed to follow the North Star, and subse-
quently went on to the river, that he was
in liiierent as to his fate, or was pleased
thus to defy all pursurers. He is about
thirty-seven years of age, and a ayaluable
hand from, all appearances, though adj
dicted to drinking. He was placed in the
Covington Jail, and will probably be taken
back to Louisville this morning.
In this case the anxious politicians of
the country may sec with what alacrity
the Fugitive Slave Law is exacted by citi-
zens of Ohio. This case is fair ilustra-
during the past three years, as, during

A SOUTHERN CoNFEDERAcY, IN EUROPE.
The London Times saws:

ne l4DiuOn
Can any sane man believe that England
and France will consent, as is now suggest
ed, to stultify the policy of halfa century
for the sake of an extended cotton trade,
and to purchase the favor of Charleston
and AIlledgeyille by recognizing what has
been called "the isothermal law which
inpels African labor towards the tropics"
on the other side Of the Atlantic OF one
thing the Democrats may be well assured
that the character and prestige Of the sew
eal United States in the eyes of Europe
depend on their federal union Let there
be no mistake as TO the English public
opinion on this subject. II we have paid
a sincere homage to the rising greatness
Of America it has not been to that which
the Southerners are so anxious TO conserve
but to that which they are striving to de.
stroy. All that is poble and venerable, in
the United States is associated with its
Federal Constitution. 1t is not the de-
monstrations of Southern rutiianisin in
Congress, or the Fugitive slave law, or the
braska act-it is not these, or any other
triumph of the democratic insolence dur
ing their ascendendency OF half century,
that has commanded the sympathy and
admiration of Europe. We have Judged
these things leniently, rs the actions ol
great men and great nations ought to be
! iunged because we knew tile peiilous con
| dltions under so mighty an enterprise NJ
the civilization Of America must OF neces
slty be carried out and have had cond
| dence in the practical good sense of TIN
| American character.

Howell Cobb at Home.

The Southern Contederacy published at
Atlanta, Georgia, thus scores its recreant
fellow-citizen, the late Secretary of the
Treasury:
When this pretender and charatan in
political economy was duly installed Sec
retary of the Federal Else by a treacher-
Gus and imbecile President, the country
was happy and prosperous-peace and
plenty reigned in this land of fliberty-this
asylum OF the opprcssed and through the
judicious management of Secretary Gu.h-
rie, and by the administrative ability
evinced by President Pierce in the col
lection OF the revenues, Mr.. Cobb was
greeted by an overflowing treasury, the
public debt reduced, the country quiet,
agriculture profitable, manufactures and
commerce never more prosperous, and
public confidence unshaken. To-day we
find Mr.. Cobb. like the bandit, fleeing
from justice and the atrocily of his own
deeds, seeking refuge and safety under
the cloak OF a patriotic devotion to South
ern rights. To the hollows and caves of
the Sixth District of Georgia he wends
his way in search OF hiding place. and
there TO gather about him clan which,
by ambuscade and ioray, he expects to
subdue brave and happy people.
Contrast the 4th of March, 1857, with
the 18th of March, 1851. James Buchan-
an was inaugurated President the 4th of
March, 1857. lie found this Government
in all the plenitude of its majesty. The
canvas ofAmerican commerce whitened
every sea; our panlautaciures were yigeyous,
ana reoped their rewards in every mart
and CLINE; the products of the agricultur-
list bestowed not only healthy remuner-
alton, but a bounty, while sustaining the
poor and clothing the oppressed. Frien-
dlyrelations existed between the sections,
and nothing seemed toimpede the progress
Of Amercanism in the onward march to a
full fruiton OF all human happiness. How
different 10 day! How sad tho change
Kind fortune has been driven from our

The President and South Carolina.

The President and South Carolina.
The South Carolina course of the Presi-
dent is far from being satisfactory to the
Democracy that elected him. Most of
these Journalists suppress their opinions,
but some give vent to them.
If, by tomporizing, (says the News, the
President hopes to put off the issue until
he can exchange his uneasy public duties
and enter the shades of retirement he
does not understand what is required of
him by the country in this emergency
lie must do something; to sit paralyzed
and stupefied by the calamity, is unwor-
thy the dignity of his ,fiice. If Mr..
buchanan is destined to be the Boabdil
I'll Chico of the Presidential line, the last
and unfortunate let him employ all his
enegy to prevent the catastrophe that
threatens. We respect his misfortuncs
too sincerly, bound up ns they are with
the dangers of the Union, to say aught
that might be construed into reproach.-
That he did not toresee such q conclusion,
it is charity 10 concede.

Lewis Chss.


The Charleston Merenry, of the 10Th,
pays its respects to thosyenerable Lewis
Cass as follows;
"FOr the hoary-h Gaded triclster and
llumbug, who has just retired from the
Cabinet because war is not made on South
Carolina, we have only to say that his
present imbecility excels his past trcach-
cry to this section. Had lie been early
absent from the Presidents councils, his
Administration might have been more
successful"
SO we 20. This same Lewis Cass, while
American Minister to The French Court
electrified the world by his splendid man
ifesto against the attempt of the Foreign
Powers to place this country under their
surveillance, on the preteXt of interfering
with the interests of slavery in the United
States, and nowhere was it more raptu-
rously applauded than in the Southern
States, sensitive as these States have al
ways been in regard to foreign aggres-
sions. "I. ~ i-iT
lie fought with gallantry for his coun-
try during the late war, and during his
connection with Mr.. Buohanan's Admin
istration steadily supported the policy OF
the Southern leaders. Struck down in
1913, simply and only because he was
supposed to be too strongly committed to
the politicians of the South, he is now re
viled and traduced as o shoary-healed
trickster and humbag." What neXt?-
