tho bcsiegers'i' Of course not, for the military neces-
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,

arrived as lo these fort ifn aliens and lui general policy

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*

The receded States must either be conquered by force
of arms, or their independence acknowledged. But
they cannot be conquered by force of arms. There-
fore, the sooner their independence is neb no ivied god
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

: f0 dreading above everything "-
may ha usoful to inquire—apart from tho ioflu-
u ,.^, great or small, which these prayers esert upon
God—whether they do not exert on inlluence upon
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
nionofaelion.
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 „.
this consideration, hut the nionffoa of this considera-
tion is positively forbidden, and actually excluded by
the directors of these meetings. Il is forbidden ns
l„;„, "n controverted topic." Ilerc is the testimony
exceptional brother on this point, aa manifested
lime since, in the " Business men's priiy-r-uiect
which he favors, ia the deliberate agree-
ment not to oppose the greatest wiekedaess now
practised in this country I
Agitation, which be opposes, is the attempt to dis-
place this wickedness from ils present acceptance in
Church and State, by the substitution of justice and
freedom I

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. A
hideous 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

This is 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
-or,, rfdiaaorecine in the Senato.it Is not probable that
ray will differ In the Cabinet. The Republicans may
ilii up in Cungress, but the Cabinet will stand.

10 old times when ho was working as hard lo get the
