I is all right tbat it ihould Aw Mi " bo qnssUan which baa attracted tbe attention of the American people, since thi organization of the government to the present time, has possessed one tithe of tbe isnportanee it does." If it wis important to aatnhliah tha eonfederaev of the States at tLa close f tbe reYolution, it is mecb more imnortant to meaerve the 4 Union now. We now bave a mooh more extended inter , st than our fathers had, outside of their interes t in us, who are their successors. --; .i .,..,,- Bat we propose . c, ntnereaaer k , ( . nona-waas. w mm-..

I For the past ten years there h.S been a jrrowini? conflict of interest between the ' 0 '- ... 1 manufacturing States of New England, and the agricultural States of the norta west. 1 They, the manufacturers of New Englsnd, regard it as their interest to procure the raw material for their manufacturing establishment as low as possible. Hence you It have seen their liberal contributions to ' funds for the purpose of corrupting and bribing member, of Congress you bavo their menmber. of Congress exerting all ' their influence to procure tbe admission or wool and other raw materials for manufacturing purposes, free of duty. They coni firmed the Reciprocity treaty with England by which the agricultural products of Canada are brought to their manufacturing dis- .- tricts free of all duty. Suppose the New! .. England States, in addition to New York j ' should secede, and open her ports free to j all the agricultural products of the world, j what would become of the North-west? 4 While we have the largest and ftnuat valley in the world for agriculture, we have not, , nor will we hare for some time to come., tl I necessary population to carry on nianuiac- j

- which would result to the great Western : valley, by the purchase of Louisiana, and thus secure the control of the "father of waters" as au outlet for the vast surplus of ; , the valley. Are the reasons that induced the government to pay 815,000.000 for - Louisiana any less potent now than then? So indispensable was it tben regarded to the prosperity of the West, that notwithstanding there was bo power in or nnder the Constitution authorizing its purchase, the neetstitu created a law in the publio mind, and all quietly submitted to it . . . . . - . 1 The bene-,' fits which were expected to result from its ; purchase have been fully verified, and if itj , were now out of tbe Union the public mind ; would not be content tmtii it was ruhjerttd to its use. The Mississippi must and will i be free to the inhabitants of its broad and J extended borders, for all time to come. The people of the great North-west should, sbove all other people, be opposed to secession. But the inquiry may be, how is it to be prevented? In the first place, we do not believe the "second sober" thoughts oi the people of the South, will demand secessiea. .When Mr. .Lincoln's inaugural shall appear before the people, they will consider well before tbey engage in such an unequal contest, as he will be present to them. Conciliation should do its best work forbearance is a great virtue in public as well as in private life. Concessions of mere opinion should be made for tbe sake of peace. The free States should act with magnanimity. But when all these fail the Union should be preserved st every basxsrd. Il is proposed to hold a Convention of si tbe States to consult on the publio welfsre, and if deemed practicable to amend the Constitution. As to what amendments are desired, we believe no ote has yet attempted to enlighten tbe public mind. We do not believe any good would result from seek Convention. The public mind is not now prepared for tbe calm and dispassionate coni of swash ewaro, II that ta.
