gagged in establishing separate and in.

We are told il is the duty of
the Federal Government to call into re.
QUESTION the army, the navy, and the
military of the non seeding States, and
enforce the laws. Sir, can we by this
process compel them TO elect members
Of Congress, to accept the Offices of
judge, marshal, postmaster, or perform
any other of the various duties under
the Government No, sir; we might
possibly have force enogh TO subjugate
and hold these States as conquered
provinces; make them subject to, but
not respect, our laws If this method be
resorted to on the part of the Govern
ment it will be on our part an act OF

such an unnatural strife?
They are not our enemies, but
part Of our people; they are our kins.

Their return from their wanderings may
be looked for at some future day, if our
action shall be tempered with forbear-

Those who are now apparently thirst

shed silent tear over the awful scenes
of blood and carnage with which they
will be surrounded. All, sir, then
you will have weeping widows, bereaved
orphans, mourning fathers, and dis

We are then led to inquire: What is
the remedy? 1t is for the represent
atives here from all sections of the
country to meet on this ques-

and not as partisans-as men who
e show by our actions, aud not
professions, that we viii recog-
nize the equality of the States to the full
est extent, satisfy and appease the APP
prehensions of the Southern people,
striking dumb the people of the South by
presenting to them such measures of con
citation as they least expect In this
way, sir, we can save the country.

THE EVENING STAR.

The terrible disaster of the Evening
Star has become familiar to the public
And yet few, perhaps, have counted the
cost of that ocean accident It is said
that an entire opera company are among
the lost There were old men embarked
on those treacherous pillows. Perhaps
they had never before been a leagpe from
land. Some hill, skir,ed with oak and
cedar, had been the companion OF long
existence. But fancy, or necessity,
lured them from home. The deep
yawned to receive that which the land
had so long cherished They went down
ON the Evening Star.
There were lovers there, renewing their
VOWS to the hutter of sails and
the silver beams of the moon. There
were lovers on shore to be remembered
and talked of; there were greetings and
bushes to be discussed, and other hearts
that ached with disappointment missing
and loving and dreaming of happy
futnre when the waves that heaved be-
meath them should carry the Evening
Star to the destined haven, they swept
ioyously on. Heaven and earth decreed
that there should be for them no more
loving, and no haven save the bottom of
the deep.
How much music was lost to the world
in the ocean burial of an entire opera
troupe There were women and men,
some advanced to the verge of age !;
some crowned with the glorious tints Of
midsummer, and others just ripeninginto
manhood and womanhood = all into
genius and music There was the prima
donna, intent on mastering a difficult
note, or studying the art Of supplying
from action some deficiency of voice. 1
She had stood in the presence Of hun
dreds of thousands, had sung aud been
cheered She was ripening into perfec-
ton and fame. The gales that swept
over the waters brought freshness to her
cheek and hope to her heart. Musing on
deck, she dreamed of oyations, saw the
vast throngs before her and heard the
thunders of their applause. Theie were
many others, representing all depart
ments Of the divine art Of music, tenor
and basso, contralto and soprano
