God bless them both; let them continue their union if it be for their mutual good, or separate if they think it better, Mr. Lincoln himself, in 1848, said in the Senate, speaking of Hungary, 'A people has always and everywhere the right to change its Government, and to establish another which suits them better. This is our conviction and our experience. It is that inappreciable right which will emancipate the world.' At this mome

The idea of an amalgamation so monstrous, was repelled by the founders of the Republic. Jefferson, the apostle of democracy, writes to John Breckinridge, after the acquisition of Louisiana, if the new nations which are to be formed on the banks of the Mississippi, find it to their interest to detach themselves from the main trunk, what have the Atlantic States to fear?

hearing at this moment, ought not to be lost sight of. On two separate occasions since the foundation of the Union, before the moment just mentioned, the right of secession was asserted, and, in both instances, by those very Northern States that are now the most ferocious adversaries of the South. In the first years of the republic, in 1794, during the administration of Washington, an excise duty, laid by Congress upon distilled liquors, occasioned an insurrection in the Western part of Pennsylvania. Delegates from different counties met at Pittsburg, and from that point offered to Congress the alternative of abolishing the tax, or seeing those they represented secede and unite themselves to Canada. In 1814, at the most critical period of the war with England, seven States, constituting what is called New England, met in Convention at Hartford, in Connecticut, and on the 14th of December, declared that they would leave the Union if peace were not declared before the first of June,

It might then have been easily brought down, and had it been so the movement might have been justly regarded, even by the other Southern States, as the factnt Lincoln's obstinacy, not less culpable than Buchanan's inaction, caused eleven Southern States out of fifteen to rally, one after the other, to the side of South Carolina, to proclaim their independence, and to organize a regular Government. It was no longer a mere insurrection; it was a solemn act, the result of mature delibeong, they believe themselves imposed upon, and the Federal compact has become, in their view, nothing better than a beonine partnership. As long ago as 1832, South Carolina, the same State that gave the signal for separation in the present war, wished to break the contract, on account of the heavy duties imposed upon foreign merc

Thus it was the first to recognize the independence of the South American Republic, and that of Texas, which latter it is at this moment fighting because she designs to use with respect to the United States that very right which she formerly exercised with regard to Mexico. And yet the individual sovereignty of the States were never so clearly defined in the Mexican Republic as they are in the American Union. The first were formed as it were o, in spite of the formal stipulations of the Constitution, and in certain laws of Congress which forbid the planters of the South to settle with their slaves upon certain portions of the public domain, belonging equally to all citizens of the United States. These are, it is true, causes of complaint which are calculated to injure, rather than serve the cause of the South in Europe, where the question is considered in its moral, not in its constitutional aspect.
