Nsw York TSibERs. December II, 1860.
We have repeatedly said, and we once more
insist. that the great principle embodied by JEFF
ferson In the Declaration OF American Independ-
euce, that Governments derive their just power
from the consent Of the governed, 10 sound and
Just; and that, II the slave States, the cotton
States, or the Gulf States only, choose to form
an independent nation, they have clear moral
right to do 90.
Whenever h shall be clear that the great
body Of the southern people have become con-

THE CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL,
This paper Ia lavish in its charges OF disloy-
atty upon Democrats. Its secession sentiments
are fully exposed in the following extracts from
its editorials at different dates last year;
War for the satjugatiOn Of the StcsdeTs '0ouId
be untciss and depLoTabls. There is no province
in the world, conquered and held BY military
force, that Is not weakness to it's master.
The history of the world certainly proves
that Il Ia not profitable to govern people with
out their consent.
The logical lesson Of this fact In this coun'
try is, that Il there are two nations here VINO
have been living In an unnatural union, they
should, for the benefit Of one or both, be separ-
ated.
/ The dream ofa ocean bound republic, which
has been so grateful TO Young America, we yet
hope to see realized; but In the meantime there
ia room for several fourisbing nations on this
continent; and the sun will shine as brightly,
and the rivers run as cleAr-the cotton held'
will be as white, and the wheat helds>as golden
when we acknowledge the Southern Confed-
erAcy, as before.
We are not in favor OF blockading the South
ern coast. We are not ia favor Of retaking,
by force, the property Of the United States
now In possession Of tho SecedeFs. We would
recognize the existence of Government form
ed Of all the seeding States, and attempt to
cultivate amicAble relations withit'
