The Horrors of Civil War.
In a late number we published extracts from
the sbeeches Of Mr. Clay and Mr.. Webster, dep
recatfng the idea OWL war in this cOuntsy, and
shadowing forth the horrors which would inevta-
bly be entailed upon our country if ever such an
event should occur. The history OF the world was
also open to the view of the eonsplrators OF the
South, proving how far more intense are the Sc
verities Of war of this nature than that usual be-
tween foreign nations-aad yet without the slight
est shadow OF a Just cause, this great nation has
heen driven into war of sections, and scenes OF
horror are being committed which make human

volved in this deplorable conflict.
He proves from facts that everything in reality
that the South had ever asked for, was granted to

tyol of the policy of the government has been

South, were. elected for one term only Van Blu

Southern institutions, still the course OF john
Quincy was open to misconstructiou from thetacI
that his ideas of the right of petition, induced the
opinion in the mind OF seme that he was favorable

the stakeholder Van Buren, was claimed wholly

views are well known to the world. Pierce ano
buchanan were both as completely in the leading
strings of Southern men, Is they were mere pup
pets--no one who was in position to note the
passing events of their administrations can fail TO
acbonwIedge that such was the case The South,
then has had the control of the policy of the coun
trv for more than twohrds of the period SINCE me
adoption of the constituton-and Mr.. fillmore
who filed the vacancy accustomed by the death OF
Tavlor. was so scrupulous in carrying out the III
gitiye slave law, and other acts pleasing in the
sight of the South that after his administration
was closed in visit to the Southern States he was
received in every direction with more applause
than had probably ever been extended to any 9th
er of our Presidents.
There was. therefore, nothing in the history OF
the country, to warrant even the slightest degree
of dissatisfaction on the part of the South. When
Mr.. Lincoln was elected, the mQjorities in both
Houses of Congress were decisive against the lear
that any interference with slavery or any other
supposed interest of the South, could be effected
during his administration and the Supreme Court
was also composed of a majority of SoUtherners.
Nav more. the Congress that had just adjourned
before Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated, passed, by
the Constitutional vote necessary to effect a
chm o in that instrument, a new feature in the
Constitution--hat no change in it affecting slaY-
ery should ever be made, unless sanctioned by the
Estates represented in that body where the insttu
