tar In tbe present fearful crisis, which threatens the overthrow of the best governiijnent ever vouchsafod to man, and thc consequent ruin and degradation of thc country, it becomes thc duty of every patriot to throw off thc trammels of party affiliation, and seek in a just spirit of compromise and conciliation, the restoration ot .(imity aud peace with our .Southern brethren. To do this, we must accept and support thc Compromise offered by Mr. Ciittenden, or some other equally as just and and fair to botli sections of this C3iuitry.

The South with her millions of free white citizons, will never consent that the North shall exercise that exclusive control ?nd arrogant assumption, that the Territories, (tbo common property of both sections) shall bo barred against the introduction of slave property. -In this thc South demands nothing but a just right. Shall rftnaticism deny her this If so, then there is no alternative left a proud and spirited people but to quietly withdraw from a union that has ceased to exercise the beneficent and benign iniincnce of justice and equality, that thc fathers designed when they framed and set in motion the grandest government that thc world has ever witnessed. But a few weeks—days in fact *—intervenes for thc North to extend the olive branch. If no peace is effected by thc 4th of March, the Republic will be broken np. In that event, Mr. Lincoln may assume the responsibilities as the Chief 'Executive of thc Northern States, but lie -will hold a barren sceptre in his grasp ^hc complications and disasters that will 'follow the separation will speedily overwhelm the shattered remnant of the goveminent over which he presides. Should

he by any blind infatuation or evil council, attempt coercion ol' thc South, civil war 'in our midst will be thc inevitable result. 'There are two millions of strong arrne and stout hearts in thc North, will never look tvjth complacency upon a ruthless and savage war carried into thc homes and fircsides of their Southern brethren by the fell and demoniac spirit'of Abolitionism, which alone can prompt ami dictate their subjugation.

In South Carolina, its respect for law and order, has prevented it from following, like other bodies, on tho heels of secession, and its ritual remains unchanged. While on this subject, we cannot forbear to commend thc Kcv. l)r. Dougherty's Thanksgiving discourse, repeated last Sabbath evening at thc request of b»s charge. It was worthy of the occasion and produced a deep effect upon the heaters.

For years the Democracy of the North |iif( warned the people, is their presses and by their orators upon the stamp, that the Abolition policy was destined, if not arrested, to break up tbe Union, and that the people of the South would never sub-

rait to a sccftional Republican triumph.—

licans insisted that there was no danger to the Union, and that what thc Democrats said was a mere partisan cry, got up to mifluence the election. They made the.pco-

The ferment which is now going on in the American iniiids involves the gravest considerations, both to that country and to the whole civilized world. It is difficult to believe that so suicidal an act as a dissolution of the Union can be on the point of consummation yet it cannot be denied that the premonitory symptoms are appearing in the most alarming distinctness.—

a federation for the purpose of defying foreign enemies, and not uncommonly pushing that defiance beyond the verge of international courtesy we sec in it the evidence and thc earnest of national greatness among external nations. But that is a very one sided view of thc Union in its relations to its component parta. Were that all the benefit to be derived from the federal league, its produce might often be unmixed mischief. To worry and bully England, to nibble at Mexico, to threaten, Cuba, and buccaneer in Central America,

language common to all, aud circulating ?n

amongall agents of mischief, sowing broadcast a madness to which no man living can see bounds.

•••WIST raw ras (From the,Charleston Mercury, Dee. IS.) The Bepablican papers of the North are now exercising their. genius and ventilating their patriotism by reviling Mr. Ba* chanan. Like frogs in chorus they lift np their voices, and ccho the cry that the President of thc United States has not reinforced the forts in Charleston harbor that Mr. Buchanan is about to sacrifice the officers and troops stationed here to the madness of Carolina mobs, upon the event of secession.- In blind hatred and malioe against us, and in the intensity of their desire to abuse the President, they lose their heads as well as their tempers—exhibiting only fury and folly.

The first gun fired npon Southern men by the United States Government in a collision of arms, in the present temper of the South, will sound the farewell funeral salute over the grave of the Union, dead and buried-—that Union which in its day, has sa well served the North, and so hampered and dwarfed thc growing energies of thc sentimental, Union loving South. ,Mr. Buchanan has more sense than his censors. He understands that he cannot better serve the cause of disunion than by producing bloodshed.

As to the bugaboo nf mobbing the forts, slaying the officer and troops, our amiable friends need not excite their philanthropic sensibilities or roll up their eyes. We are not a mobceracy here, and believe in law, order and obedience to authority, civil and military. No mob will attack the forts. "When the State is out of. tho Union, when tho forts arc demanded and refused to be delivered up to those in whom is vested thc title of eminent domain, and for whose protection and defense alone they were ceded and built up, and when—the Federal Government, showing a hostile purpose—it shall become necessary and proper for us to obtain possession, then it will be right for the world and black re•publicniiisin to expect that the State, by her authorities, will move in thc premises.

Thc eople wiil obey thc call for war and take thc forts. The cxcitcmcnt here is deep, culm feeling, very different from the excitement of a mob, and leading to different and far greater results. This is no child's play. It is not the uproar of school hoys yplashing water in mischief it is tho quiet tread of Cajsar's forces crossing tho Kuhicon.

The Black Republicans complain that the DemocraU have misrepresented tkeir position upon tbe slavery issue, and that the people of the South, therefore, misapprehended their sentiments and purposes. This is an acknowledgment on their part that if their views have been eorreetlj represented it justifies the state of feeling at the South at the present time. There can be no dodging this inference, or else why this apology on the lips of every Rt« publican? If their complaint is well founded, it follows then that there wonld be no irritation at the South, none of tbe political difficulties which affect unfortunately the material interests of the country. If erroneous' views are entertained of tho doctrines and designs of the Republican party, would it not be easy for its leading men to properly present them and to correct all misapprehensions? Why does not Mr. LINCOLN restore peace and harmony to the country by correcting these misapprehensions and demonstrating, if in his power, that Republican principles are in harmony with the compromises of the Constitution, and that his administration shall bo guided by the spirit of accommodation, concession and conciliation which governed the Fathers of the Republic? But it is claimed that it is beneath the dignity of thc President clect to give an authoritativo expressions of such views. But let us inspect the record of Mr. LINCOLN, the representative man of tho Ilcpublican party, and soe if it is not calculated to promote Southern revolution and justify thc apprehension that they arc hostile to the inst tutions and interests of the South. Tho party is responsible for tho views entertained and expressed by its loading men, for it is not to be supposed that they could be elevated to high position unless they fairly reflected thc sentiments of their par~ ty. Mr. LINCOLN, himself, when asked for an exposition of hia principles, refers to his speeches aud debates as containing an exposition of his views.

Wc presume no one will say that thii* i* anything less than abolitionism and nogro equality, nor that Mr. Lincoln was not speaking of slavery in thc States.

Tnaspecch at Springfield, Illinois, for which see debates between Lincoln and Douglas, p. 1, at thc close of the Republican State Convention which nominated him as a candidate for thc United States Senate, Mr. Lincoln said V.

Wo are now far iulo the fifth year ainco a policy was initiated with tho avowed ob-

ation of that policy, thc agitation has not onlv not ceased, but has constantly augmented. In my opinion, it will not coase

until a crisis has been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this GOVERNMENT CAK NOT XND17RE PERMANENTLY half slave and half free. I do not expoct the Union to bc dissolved I do not expect the house to fall but I do expect it will ccase to be divided. It will become all one tbhg or all tho other. Either thc opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in tho course of ULTIMATE EXTINCTION, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new. North as well as South.

We presume no one will say that Mr. Lincoln was not speaking of slavery in the States. This was the first announcement of the irrepressible conflict" doetrine, which Mr. Seward eohoed four months

ter at Rochester. In September. 1858, Mr. Lincoln said: That central idea in our political system ot the beginning was, and until reoently continued to be, the equality of men. And although it was always submitted patiently to whatever inequality there seemed to
