Governor Lane's inaugcral id just what we expccted from one, who when the political seaia swelling high, bids for the United States Senate. An untranunelcd man, would, like a skillful surgeon, have plunged the knife beneath the outside film, and cut into the core of corruption. This is precisely what our Kxccutive could not do. Had lie taken a conservative position and recommended a compromise, the radicals would have bolted, and the contrary, the conservatives would have stood aloof. Like all exceeding politic men Mr. Lane ia neither fish nor flesh. I11 the full glare of a record, whoso illumined pages contain the fact that he was president of the Philadelphia convention in 1856, he wr.tos a letter to Kentucky, telling its citizens that misrepresentation ot the designs of the 'ltcpublican party, has produced the storm that now rages with so niech fury iu the South. He reiterates this in his message, and also thinks that the people there arc •overawed by mobs and rufliaus. Iu tak*. ing this coarse, he seduously avoids all allusion to the gist of our national strifes.

We think the gorgeous bauble of a seat in the Seuatc, has dazzled his judgement, and caused him to forget that such sentences as these, culled from the Chicago platform, are the firebrands that have raised flames And we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislature, of any individual, or association of individuals to give legal existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States." ibis iwt only hems tho -citizens of fifteen States "within specific bounds, and with an increasing population, but carries in its train th! baneful evils of insurrections, amalgamation, and equality of races. It deci-rc? that treaties made by Jefferson in 180'], are null and void, that congressional acts

Tjy which property in slaves was allowed by territorial and congressional acts in Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama, were all void and no law. This is reducing the Constitution to the Chicago platform. The South have not only these facts confronting them, but they have Mr. Lincoln's own declaration, in his speech of tho 10th of July 1850, that, "II I were in Congress and a vote should come upon the question wheth er slavery should be prohibited in anew territory, in spite of the Dred Scott decision, I would vote that it should."

The whole power of the government is to be in tho hands of, and wielded by men, who have like Hannibal taken an oath of eternal hostility to our Southern brethren men who do not believe that our government was instituted for temporal ends— the security of person and property—but for tho opajation of theories as false as they arc impracticable.

AS APPEAL TO T11K PKOPI.K OF VI.ORIHA.

Ex-Gov. Call, of Florida, has published an appeal to the people of that State, in which he earnestly protests against secession. lie says

Now, my fellow-citizens, on my responsibility and under the halter, if you please, before God and in the name of my country, I proclaim that when the deed shall be done, it will be treason—high 4treason—against our Constitutional Government."

The savage beasts growled around him until daylight, when they took their departure. The earner's horse was pursued by a portion of the pack, and is supposed to have been eaten by them.

There are now eighty-two of the patriots of the Revolution left to witness the dismemberment of the confederacy which they in that glorious ficven years struggle, assisted to free from the oppression nf the umlher country.

fragments, the slave States in insurrection, and civil war raging over the whole Jface of the country Are the people mad, that they will permit these things? Let us all declare that, this Union shall remain—that no parricidal hand shall be raised with impunity against it—and that no cause for separation shall be given by one section or the other.

SSf We give below an example of the machinery by which this element of the Republican party brings influences to bear upon Congressmen against yielding support to any adjustment whatever. It is the most prominent editorial in the New York Tribune of Tuesday:

*."7

BEWARE.—Some weeks ago we warned tho Republicans of the tree States that a measure was being concocted .at Washington that would yield up the vital doctrines for which tlicy struggled iu the recent Presidential contest, and we urged them to let their opinions upon that subject be known to their Senators and Representatives without delay. We have reason to know the appeal was not made in vain.— We now say to the tried and true friends of our cause throughout the country, that the advocates of what is called concession and compromise are again at work, and with more vigor than before, to induce the Republicans in Congress to support some policy that shall humble the North and make shipwreck of our party and its creed. Wc rencwcdly call upon them to promptly make their opinions upon this question and wishes upon the question known at Washington. To this cud let them speak through their local journals, and by letters aud other means of communication, so that their Senators and Representatives may have a clear knowledge of the tone ot public sentiment at home. Let the friends of free labor aud free government move immediately! 'ihe crisis impcnls.—There is no time for delay.

A GKACKITL COMTUMHNT TO A IFK.— The following neat and beautiful .reply was made by the late Daniel O'Conncll, response to a toast given in compliment to his wife, who was the object of his long and affectionate attachment. It was given at a political meeting. The English language could not furnish anything more touchingly tender and graceful:

There arc some topics of so sacred and sweet a nature that they may be comprehended by those who arc happy, but they eannot be possibly described by any human bcine. All that I shall do is to thauk you in the name of her who was the disinterested choice of my early youth who was the ever cheerful companion of my maulv j'cars and who is the sweetest solace of that "sear and yellow leaf" age at which 1 have arrived. In her name I thank you anil this you may readily believe for experience, I think, will show to use all, that man cannot battle and struggle with the malignant enemies of his country, unless his nest at home is warm and comfortable—unless the honey of human life is commended by a hand that he loves.

The President heard him through, but then requested him to submit in writing, when he would consider it and cominnnicate his reply.

This was all that occurred, and Colonel Hayne is perfectly in the dark as to what the reply will be. He has been busily engaged most of to-day preparing the document, but the urgent solicitations of a large number of Southern Senators it is understood have induced Col. Hayne to modify his views, and he has telegraphed this fact to Gov. Pickens and asked for instructions, and these Southern Senators insist on South Carolina doing no act which will provoke a collision.

Senator Davis has endorsed and forwarded a letter to Governor Pickens, which was written by another Senator in which he supplicates them to avoid any policy which would involve hostilities.

The Cabinet has determined against holding any intercourse with South Carolina ambassadors.

It it rumored, and apparently upon good authority, that Mr. Buchanan has assured the south that he can never recognize the de facto government of South Carolina or any other state seceding. It would not be inconsistent with his former position.

The Tribune has positive informatio11 that it is the intention of the rebel leaders at Charleston to attack Fort Sumter as soon as their envoy returns from Washington.

The rumored seizure and confiscation of a steamboat load of powder by the authorities of Louisiana is contradicted.

The State military of New Jersey are being actively placed upon a war footing.

Breckinridge is not acting with the seccders but with the border States. Mr. Holt has written to Gov.

PATRIOTIC PRINTERS.—A Montgomer (Ala.) paper observes: Members of the craft every-wherc arc noted for their patriotism and gallantry. Whenever a movement is inaugerated looking to the advancement of the interests of their country they arc sure to be well rep resented. Within the last two days twelve printers have left this place with military companies, intending to do the "State some servicc," if nccessar}*, on the battle-field.

THE ROBTH THE AOOBE8HOB. The following article ifrom the Providence Post, is specific enough and true enough to set men to thinking that there

It may be true that the South has sometimes overstepped the boundaries of justice in her local legislation but it is true, also, that she has never made war upon Northern States or Northern institutions. She has never adopted for her motto no more free States." She has never interfered in any way with the management of our local affairs. She has always said to us, Do what you please have such laws as you please be what you please only let us alone." The South submitted for upwards of thirty years to a law excluding slavery from the territory vrest of the Missouri. The law was then found to be unconstitutional. Yet the South never complained. In the Constitution the North agreed to return fugitive slaves—and in '93 a law was passed by Congress and signed by Washington, making it the duty of State officers to return them. The North no sooner ascertained it could escape the work of executing this law, than it prohibited its officers from haying anything to do with it. The South then demanded that it should be so amended as to be enforced by the Federal Government. This was done, and instantly the North began to throw obstructions in the way of its execution. For ten or fifteen years the North petitioned Congress for tho abolishment of slavery in the District of Columbia, and only turned from its work when the Wilmot Proviso promised to be more successful as an irritaut.

For tho last fifteen years Northern men and women, by thousands, petitioned Congress for a dissolution of the Union, because slavery was tolerated therein. In 1844, Massachusetts threatened to go out of the Union if Texas was admitted as a slave State. From 1840 to 1850 almost every Northern Legislature annually passed insulting or irritating anti-slavery resolutions with an order for copies of them to be sent to the Governor of every slaveholding State. Whenever since 1830, a Southerner has visited the North with his servants, efforts have been made to induce the servants to leave him, and many times they have been rescued by mobs. When Southern men have visited the North in search of their fugitives, they have been harrasscd, mobbed, and sometimes shot. In churches a constant war"ha3 been kept up until nearly every church has been divided on Mason and Dixon's line. Southern christians have been treated as hypocrites and infidels by nearly all denominations in the free States. For sixteen years there has hardly been a State convention by the anti-Democratic party in

troubles, and tliat Northern politicians have had their full share iu producing the circumstances which have culminated in threatening disunion

I awoke at 3 o'clock this morning and went immediately to the upper deck, where I found the captain, mate, pilot and two military officers. I learned that we arrived in the vicinity of the Charleston bar about midnight that all the coast lights had been extinguished, and that thus far it had been impossible to find the. main channel. It is evident from these indications that the hospitable South Carolinians do not mean that we should go home without a salute,

A light was then off the coast, but we could not make out what it was. A little after 3 o'clock we discovered the light on Fort Sumter and with these exceptions everything was dark. It was, of course, impossible to get over the bar without the light houses, and so we awaited the break of day.

I have never seen a finer morning than the one which dawned upon us. The sky was clear and the moon a faint crescent of silver, had just arisen, aud the low coast looked like a dense forest of evergreen. The spires of Charleston became visible in tho approaching daylight, and on the walls of Sumter wc descried tho American flag floating in tho breeze

Now, about 6 1T2 o'clock, we sec. tho. light house and now, too, we discover that the mysterious, light just mentioned was that of a steamer at our right. Now the situation of the channel is ascertained, aud we are under weigh and now the steamer at our right is burning red and blue lights and now she sends up rockets. There is no mistaking her movement she is giving the alarm signal to Fort Moultrie.

On we go the soldiers are below with loaded muskets, and officers aro ready to give the word if there is anything to do. Now it is broad daylight, and wc arc making directly under the guns of Fort Moultrie, whose black walls arc distinctly visible. The little steamer at our right is burning a signal light aft, and is making all possible headway up the harbor. Now we discover a red Palmetto flag at our left on Morris Island, a little village called Cummings Point, aud apparently but little more than a mile from Fort Sumter.

Is it possible that those fellows have got a battery off' here asks one. "No," answers another,there is no battery there."

But there is. It is now a quarter past seven and wc are about two miles from Forts Sumter and Moultrie, which arc cqui-distant from us, and suddenly, whi-z comes a ricochet shot from Morris Island. It plunges into the water and skips along, but falls short of our steamer. The line was forward of our bow, and was, of course

Capt. McGowan concluded that, inasmuch as he had not a present commission from Government, he wonld let the Emily St. Pierre go her way, but declared that if he had his commission it would be delightful to bring her off, after the treatment he had received this morning from Charleston.

The military men on board highly complimented the South Carolinians on their shooting in this first attempt. They say it was well done that all which was needed was a little better' range, which they probably could of obtained in a few minutes. Their line was perfect: and tho opinion is expressed that some one had charge of the guns who understood his business.

It was very good sport for them," remarked one of our officers, "to shoot at us, and there was nothing to trouble them. They had it all their own way. But when Uncle Sam gets a man-of-war in the channel, throwing shells into that .sandhill, thev will lenrn '.he difference."

Two guns were employed the smaller, it i3 believed, a twelve-pounder, and tlVc larger a thirty-two pounder. This, however, is only a conjecture. Whatever their size, they were well manned. They were fired rapidly and with a will.
