One True fsasis OF ScrtIcrsens.

No adjustment can be reached unless the
Southern States formally agree to abandon
all prctentions, for all time to come, to Sc
cede from, and break up this Union. They
must recognize the Government as Gov.
ernment capable Of preserving itself How
can they propose to reconstruct Govern
ment while claiming the right a. any time
to secede from and destroy it. Senator
Wade, OF Ohio, made fhe overwhelming
point il. the Senate Committee Of Thirteen
this morning, when ne said that he had NJ
IDEA Of making bargain with men who
mignt carry tueiC State out and join the
common enemy at any time, or turn the
forts Of the Federal Government agains.
the Government itself Here, then, is the
only platform upon which tho Union can
be preserved. No concession to secession,
and when secession is abandoned all the
rest is plain. Was. cor. Phila. Press.
