<'CcercEou.''

When the rebels first threatened seces-
sion, they claimed that the General G ov-
ernment had no right to use f6rciJZe means
10 defeat their reasonable designs. They
contended that State had not only the
right 10 march cut Of the Union. but it
had right to demand peaceable retire
ment Their speeches during the ID ses-
sion of the 36th Congress abounded in
these heterodox doctrines. But this dog
ma was not confined to the South. With
a few exceptions, the democratic members
from the North stoutly cOntended for the
same miserable heresy. They agreed
that the South had DO constitutional right
10 secedc; bat if it did, then the govern
ment had no power TO coerce it back into
the Union. Gen. DaDi-l Sickles, John
COchrane, and half dozen others we
could name, during that session, all con-
tended fer this, and it can be found in
their published speeches. It was, for the
time being, the democratic doctrine. The
old traitorous funciionary then in the
presidential chair professed to be govern
ed by the same fallacy, and he carried it
out IN action. Our readers well remem-
Der his agreement with the South Carroll
Ia members not to change the military
status Of Charleston; and he did this
with full knowledge that the Charlesto
mans were then building Notifications to
batter down cur own forts under the Uni
ted States fag. No power to coerce, he
exclaimed, when urged to reinforce Col. |
Anderson. And so he acted until the |
end Of his administration, leaving the reb- /
els to steal our property, FIRE into cur flag,
and inaugurate the present rebellion, ex-
cusing himself under the false plea that

government, had'no power to coerce ODE

every body to walk three PAGES to the

''An ugly pause ensued, worse than a
dead silence between the ticking Of con-
