sity would be tenfold greater in ibis case lhaa in thi

other. An evaluation, such as Gen. Seott contem

plates, is substantially the same thing as a surrender

but formally is a very different one. The same, m

nearly so, as to the humiliation or the United Stales,

but very diilerent us to the triumph of the Confedera-

tion. Abalraetly, it matters not much who pulla down

a piece of hunting from the top of a staff; but, prac-

tically, it matters a great deal. Tho circmuatauecs

of the case, ns the innkee]Wr told Vorick, may make

] difference in tha sin, but they make all the difioi-

icc in the world in the ScOTlrfoJ.

Wo presume that Mr. Lincola intends to " hold,

Mwpy and possess" Fort Pickens, and whatever

other United Slates works are within range of titv

Confederate cannon in tbo same way that ho has done,

about to do, with Fort Sumter. Now, we bogjj,

rail, consequently, iliciraurrender as political

ncu as military necesaitien. la (other Kurds, we

hold—what the Lincoln Cabinet is thus virtually con-

ceding—that Ihe Revolution of the seven Slates is

perfect and complete, and that it is the duty of our

government to acknowledge their independence and

proceed to .flake the beat treaty it can with theni.

Admittii." Hie abstract truth of all the canal it iitionnl

theories about the unity of the American people, nnd

Mr. Lincoln's own doctrine that there can he nad is

no such thing na n accession of a part of tbo States

from the Union, the practical difficulty esiabs that the

mpossible has been done, the impropriety committed,

and that seven States are actually out or the Unioo

and have bcatea the United Stales ia the only trial of

rms to which the question has been submitted. For

victory may be won, and by arms too, without the

firing of a gun or the shedding of a drop of bin

blood. No nation, of course, admits tbo right of any

of its parts to separate theiuseh ts from it. But aft

,separation bus actually been made, the next que*

n is, what, ia the wisest thing lo do under tho cir-

nstiincesi George III. utterly denied the right of

ithirteen Colonies to revolt, nnd he did his best to

;uc them down with the final logic of kings;but,

of arms, or their independence acknowledged. But

they cannot be conquered by force of arms. There-

fore, the sooner their independence is nebno iviedgod

the better. This is the weak and ridiculous point of

Mr. Lincoln's policy towards those States. Ho pre-

tends to believe ibat those Stales are still under bis

government, while ho avows bis intention of abstain-

ing from any act of government within them, and

",any attempt to control their illegal action, while

the persona praying, and upon tbu like-minded per

sons who read the accounts of these prayers in the

daily and weekly press, directly and strongly tending

to the accomplishment of the object prayed for.

In these prayers it is assumed Ibat the continuance

jf the Union which now hinds our Northern mid

Southern States in one nation is n highly desirable

'".far aa these prayers suggest a method of accom-

plishing the work assumed to be so desirable, they

petition that the hcnrls at men. especially of pious

icn, may be turned away from agitation, nnd from

mtroversy on ihe subjects which now divide the

ad may be turned towards, union of feeling a

In these petitions, and the exhortations which alter-

ite with them, there ia no specification of whether

.his agitation had hotter cense, and this Union bo

attained, by the going over of the wrong side lo I

ight, or of tho right sido lo the wrong. Not only

union of feeling and action prayed for irrespective „.

That this "revival" and these prayer-meet mgs

have operated, aad are operating, throughout this

juutry, in precisely the way here indicated, for the

jn't'mued support of slavery, is-n clear aud incontro-

irtible truth.

James G. Birney, an orthodox church-member, who

ils convened by Abolitionists to the performance of

duty winch his Church bad never even attempted

o teach bim-tbe duty of emancipating his slaves-

testified as long ago as 1840. und thenceforward to

the end of his life, that ihe American Churches were

tho bulwarks of American slavery." The evidence

Of this fact now, in 1861, is far stronger und more

abundant thna even in his time. Take this little

THE LATE TRAGEDY AT OLEVSLASD.—U.

Pooa Lecvl Shu is handled in Cleveland far worse

than a pirate or parricide would have boon anywhere In

the wide world. Earth and hell, it ia reported, were

ransacked to find wretches wicked and mean enough

to aid the creatures who undertook to arrest her. Ahideous array of them was collected from various

irs, winch I bavo not the courage to attempt to

ibc. Poor Lucy was at length hunted down and

conflned like a felon. Her fellows of her own coai-

on, a Cleveland paper confe^es, were iu many

tccj gratuitously assailed tmd outraged. Her

i brothers and aisters, ns if united in a damnable

conspiracy, refused to coma lo her rescue. And ao, the

Douglas plan of "saving tho Union." Will Mr. Seward

adopt Ht Will Mr. Lincoln follow Mr. Seward's advice

about it, or will he give his car to Mr. Chase? These

questions to be answered erelong. Douglas knows

y well thot after n siuglo blow Is struck—after a

de— all hope of preserving the old Union, or recon-

structing it, is gone. So he cries for peace, thioking

that, with peace, compromise is sure eventually

the victory. But he overlooks one important 1

wit, that the people of Ihe tree States arc getting sick

of the Onion-soving business, especially as ever]

which of itself mokes the Union and the govern

mere nullity. The people of tho North nod Wt

studying this matter leisurely, and, instead of making

wicked concessions to traitors and rebels, will toon

declare their willingness to allow their " Southern

brethren " lo depart from llio Union in peace. This is

the tendency ot things now, as the recent able editorial

in the Sow York Gwnmercia! jMuerttser will show. If

the government has no power to exert its authority

over the seceded States, let them be acknowledged, and

tlio line be drawn between the republic of freedom and

the republic of slavory-thc quicker the better.

H is thought that tho Cabinet, us it ia now con-

structed, canuot long hold 'together. It is supposed

that such men ns Chase, Bhur. a,,.t Wclk-s will be natu-

rally opposed to the policy ol Seward, Cameron, Smith,

and Bates. But it must be remembered that tho com-

promise question wiU not be likely ever to get into the

Cabinet. Mr. Lincoln is uot going to try to bribe any

measures through Congress, uo matter of what char- we, restraining 1

actcr they may be. On the question of tho proper nllowed tho culprit

defence of Ihc government the Cabinet is n unit, nad

that ia about Ihe only question connected with partisan

politics which will he agitated in the Cabinet. So that

„,.', Mi- ii-a. Seward and Chose would have been very
