to involve the country in civil war, as soon as he seizes the reins of power, can surprise no one who understands the principles and has observed the course of the party which he represents, during the present troubles. The ominous silence of Mr. Lincoln during the whole of the storm which has brought such disaster and distress upon the land, is itself more expressive than words. There cannot be the shadow of a doubt that, within one hour after his inauguration, telegraphic dispatches will behe late war, left behind them degenerate successors. If a few raw militia men, having only a temporary earthwork defence, could drive back and annihilate the choicest soldiers and conquerors of Europe, we apprehend that the Wide Awake levies of Lincoln need not expect an easy victory. Moreover, it is evident, if Coercion is to be employed against Secession, it is becoming every day more probable that the new President will have a wider theatre for the exercise of his bloody tyranny than t

of all sections on it, and if anything can be done to stop the Revolution they will do it. Conservatives place great confidence in this committee. Meantime, Lincoln's virtual declaration of war against South Carolina has dispelled the hopes of many who went to bed last night in the most sanguine spirits. If it is expected thll fool him to death, and soon we shall find the whole Northwest running to Charleston to buy goods free of duty. I have it from most reliable authority that Lincoln has decided on the following men as Southern (1) members of his Cabinet, to wit: Cassius Clay, Edward Bates and Frank Blair. The South has little to hope from cois expected here hourly. Seward, on the pretence of going to see his family, had a three-day's confab with Weed, who at once pushed off to have an interview with Lincoln, and now comes post haste to the Federal city, bringing, it is supposed, a compromise of some kind with him. Mr. Douglas, it is said, will at an early day ad

We had prepared our mind fully for it. We could not have expected that the Convention would hesitate or falter in doing what it was specially and solely commissioned to do. We have never believed in the wisdom or efficacy of separate secession. We felt always convinced that the election of Lincoln and Hamlin would be followed by the most disastrous excitement at the South, and that the Union would be imminently periled, if not destroyed. But, then, we thought that the slave States would all join in a common action, whatever that action might be, as it was unquestionably their duty and their interests to do. We could hardly suppose that any one of them would consider it right or politic to detach herself entirely from the others and withdraw separately. But the thing has been done,

It is too late for South Carolina; she has gone, and, we fear, irrecoverably, but, if Lincoln would save the remainder, if he would not sSouth Carolina; she has gone, and, we fear, irrecoverably, but, if Lincoln would save the remainder, if he would not see the Union split forever in twain, and Great Britain accomplish by her profound policy what a seven years war failed to achieve, he and they who are with him must speak, and not only speak, but act, and not only act, but give the most complete and satisfactory guarantees that they will observe the national compact hereafter in good faith, and in the letter and in the spirit.
