war. South Carolina had declared herself separated from the Union, while other States stand ready to support her, or else to put her down. That is the real issue, and there is no use to disguise it. We are not permitted to ignore the fact that the determination to secede is not confined to South Carolina alone, for next week Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, will separate from the Union; a week after Georgia will follow them; a little latter Louisiana will secede, and soon after her Arkansas. Now, then, shall we recognize South Carolina as a free and independent State, or shall we coerce by force? He argued that the people of South Carolina had a right to declare themselves free; it was an inherent, inalienable right.--South Carolina had, by the voice of her people, met in convention, in 1860, and repealed the ordinance made by her people when they met in convention in 1788. Mr. Benjamin here quoted from a speech of Daniel Webster's, in the Rhode Island case, to show that a c

ortion of the immense number and magnitude of railroads in this country has been made between 1860 and 1860, and almost altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearly and strikingly, we will present the length of railroads in each State. In each of the years 1850 and 1860, as near as we can ascertain them. The following table presents that view, viz: .1859.1860. Maine116 miles.476 miles.

tates and Fugitive slaves. The idea prevails to some extent that the Gulf States have no reason to complain of the nullifying acts of the North, because they do not lose any negroes by escape. Well established facts prove this to be a mistake. According to the census of 1850, those States suffer nearly as much as the border States in this way. In 1850, the whole number of slaves which escaped was 1,011, and they were from the several States as follows: Alabama29 Missouri60 Arkansas21 Delaware26 Florida18 Georgia89 Kentucky96 Louisiana90 Maryland279 Mississippi41 North Carolina64 South Carolina66 Tennessee70 Texas29 Virginia83 Total1,011 The New York Times thinks the number has since increased full fifty per cent., which would give 1,500 a year, the aggregate value of which is $1,500,000. It will be seen that while the loss of the border States is of course much the greatest Georgia, in 1850, lost within seven as many as Kentucky, and Louisiana within
