Mr.. Everett, in a speech 10 Boston on
Wednesday evening, thus pictured some of
the Consequences of yielding to the reb-
els: s .
"Controversies are sure to spring up be-
tween neighboring States. Parting in5the
manner that the North and South will part,
and situated as they are toward each other,
these subjects of dispute will forever re-
cur. The South has told you how she
means to deal with them. War, instant
war, is her alternative. What has hither-
to been called the Ultima ratio rs9unl is the
priHla ratio of secession; she borrows her
international law from the highway; pis-
tol at your head; your purse oryour life.-
She tells you she has made up her mind to
secede. Yougtell her that it is only in a
Constitutional Convention that such a
question can be entertained, and she set
ties that matter by seiziug the forts, arsen-
ais aud. dockyards. Give us up Sumter
The. President replies, you ceded it to us
without reserYation-it belongs to the uni
ted States, hayeno power, no right to
Surrender itas5 A besieging army of 10000
men and eleven blazing batteries knock it
about our ears and that little point of con-
stitutioual law is decided. The first ques.
tien that will ariseaif YOU recognize the
confederacy will be on the extradition, OF
fugitive slaves. No independent foreign
nation ever thinks of their surrender
They will come inilarge numbers after the
separation; the South will demand that
they should be given up, the personal lib
elty bills of the North have been among the
great causes,of the present rupture. Give
them up, she will now say, or StonewRll
Jackson will come and take them. Que of
the articles of The rebel programme, lately
agreed upon at Richmond, is stated to be,
'the suppression of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.' Ninety miles of it lie through
| Virginia; they will of course do with it
whit they please. Ohio may be little
restive under this discipline, but she must
submit or she has gott to send an army to
keep open this all important route to the
Isea6oard. With system of free trade, Mt
the South and moderate protection at the
North, smuggling upon a lnrg scale-arm.
ed bands of smugglers like those which
desolated Spain for ages-will spring up
along our vast frontier. To this you must
submit, or it will promptly be wrought up
into cause of war with our beligerent aud
warm blooded neighbors. Above all, the
Mississippi-tbe great natural outlet of
half the continent have got to tear
lup'the treaty by which Louisiaua was ce-
ded TO the United States-undo the work
of Jefferson and Napoleon, surrender a do
main such as providence never before en-
TRUSTED to u civilized government, or you
have got to holdlit by tue sword, for that's
the way secession resolves all controyer-

4 bellion now succeeds, instead of an honor
able aud lasting peace, we have bnt one al.
ternative to look forward to, that of eter-
ma! humiliation and disgrace, not merely in
our relations with the South, whose Ian
guage toward MS already passes all ordina-
| ry limits of contumely, hut from the nations
iof the earth.
What respect are they likely to pay to
! the reclamations either of the North or
South however we'll founded when they see
4 US clenched at each others throats, in the
grip of deathy2 In fact, if the madness,
which has ruled the hour atthe South had
not, while it quenched every spark OF pa
triotism, deafened them at the same time
to the voice of enlightened self-interest,
they would have seen that of all the politi-
cal suicides ever committed, secession is
the most hideous. Bent only on destroying
the Union of the States, The South has
forgotten that she was striving to overturn
strong and respectable government of
which she formed an integral part, and re-
dncing herself to the level of a, fifth rate
government, dependent for existence on the
exigencies of the cotton market and the
federation of the great powers of Europe.
