In or Out Of the Union.

Nothing is more plain than that states
may take themselves out Of tho Union.
aud abdicatc all their rights as states, BY
their own voluotay act. They cannot,
however, without the assent of the m.
ton. Withdraw either their TERRITORY. or
their citizens, from the national iuris.
diction.
1t is probably ono of the dormant DOW.
ers OF the Union, to expel a state, for
sufficient cause in confirmed miscoud duct
and vicious practice, but beyond ali
doubt, It Is optional with the Union 10
keepa state out, which has roiuutariyv
gone out.
Undoubtedly, the Union owes certain
lodetcasible duties Of protection to such
citizens Of Withdrawing states as remain
loyal, but it depends upon circums.au.
ces whether these duties can be best Der.
formed, by compelling, or permitting.
the return Of such states into the Union.
or by enforcing the national jurisdiction
over the territory Of such states in some
other woy. ltmoy happen that to recognize
the actual governments Of wi,hdrawinp
states may be the very course to subject
the loyal minority Of their inhab .tants
to the tyranny from which they oush. to
be relieved.
In the present matter in hand, the
true view is, that Ill the states which
have passed ordinances Of secession .re
now out Of the Union. aud are to be re-

A ship Canal to Connect the Mississippi
with Lake Michigan.

+, p. Blair, jr, from the Committee
ON Military Affairs in the House of Rep.
rescntatives, has reported bill for q
ship canal to connect the Mississippi
and Lake Michigan, and has accompanied
the bill with report Of the cost, &c, on
three plans ; also showing the importance
and nationality Of the work. The frst
plan is for canal l60 feet wide on the
bottom, sides protected with stone walls
10 feet high, the canal and river locks
to be $50 feet long and 20 feet wide,
with sufficient depth of water to pass
steamboats, aud vessels drawing 8 feet of
water y the canal to be supplied with va
cost is sl3,346,S24.
8. A second plan for boats not quite so
large as the first, with six feet water, is
estimated to cos, sll 500, 900. A third
plan, still less efficient, will cost 50, 292,. !
Al. This is proposed work in which
'ho whole Northwest is deeply Interest.
Cd We hope the fist plan vii! be adop-
ted. The difference ia the cost is Sigh.
when compared with tie increased facil /
titles for conveying produce and merchaD.
disc. The whole work, on the best plan,
will not cost more than is uow .pen.

accused rebellion. Make short work
