Just now, when thdhpowcr ol the Federal
Government is throrftcned to ho employed
to force any Stato to remain iu the I'n- f
ion that may feci incliucd to leave the Confederacy
rather than submit to tlio Chief
Magistracy of Abe Lincoln and his nigger
associates, the following views,from the pen
of Senator W. D. Porter, of Charleston, on
th? subject of cbcrciug.a State, are entitled
* to attention. Tho language of expression
is eloqueut-'-the reasoning unimpeachable:
From what part of the Constitution is derived
the right and authority to coerce a
State that may,through u convent ion of her
people, withdraw herself froui the Union
as her only means of safety, and her refuge
from intohrahle oppression? It is said that
it is the duty of the President to "take earc
that tho laws be fait lit ully executed. '
These words, it is true, are in tho Constitution;
and upon these words the great pow(*r
in question is founded. Put this is to bog
the question?to assume the whole inuttci
** in controversy. 1 have already sjiokcn ?>!
iho distinction between the action ol a
sovereign State and the action of unauthorized
combinations of individuals. So Jong

Union, her citizens have no choice hat to
obey the laws of the United States; but if,
according to our view, she inay rightfully
secede, then,upon the exercise of that right,
her delations with the Union are tci initialed,
her delegated authorities are resumed, and
the laws of the United Suti*. are, within
her territorial limits, of no uiore virtue or
binding eilieacy, than the laws of any other
foreign nation whatsoever.
But havo we no historical proolii or evidences
on this point of the power to dragoon
a State? It could hardly be uppqso I il .
a matter of such magnitude wouid altogelli
er escape the lutcntiuu of the Oouveuiion oi
177C; and in point of fact, it did not cseapi
attention. The journals show that the Oth
resolution of l'Mwuwl Randolph's propusi
tions, provided that the federal executive
should have power "to call forth the force
of the Union against any uwm/r r of th>
Union, tailing to fulfil his duties under the
articles thereof." And Mr. Pattoison, also.
the 7th resolution of his propositions,
after making acts and treat es the supreme
law, provided as follows: ''And if ant/ State,
or body of men in any Slate, shall uppo.-<
or prevent the carrying into execution such
acts or treaties, the federal executive sha'i
bo authorized to call forth the pow rs of
the Confederated States, or so much thereof
as may be necessary, to compel obedience
to such acis, or an observance of such treaties."
In bjJfh th.'so. instances, the enliven
tiou was distinctly iuvi oil to authorize the'
employment oi' the/<* < or fiourer* o.'tho
Union against auy State or mende r of the
Union, that should fail to t'nliii it- duty, or
oppo.se or prevent the execution of no's ? r
treaties; but no tyich provision w;i> in . rtc ;
in the. Ami whntevi r force

or madness of the time and in the fancied !
'pleiltitude of its powers, ha* thought proper
to enact into laws, it has not yet proceeded |
to such a pitch of infatuation, ;rs to drsiigu.e
the federal statute book with any ait or
acts designed to coerce the subini-d<;n, or
compel the return of any a; vcrcigu State,
that.might solemnly determine, in ini 1"
view of all the cotiscijucuces and responsibilities,
to sever forever her connection wit i?
the Union, and to place the lives, property
and liborty of her Citizens under the pro- I
tection of her own separate- sovereignly.

Such and so disastrous would be tho ef-'
feet of coer ion, oven if successful, i <<it |
it could not he successful?least of all in
u case of common feeling and common in*
tcrest. The people of tho States are too
spirited and .-agucious not to feel and know
that tho military conquest of one, in such
u rase, wouiu involve, sooner or lati-r, the
military conquest of the rest. Tlio tics ot'
a common cnuse?one hope, one fear, otic 1

the worse 1 shall bo. Now, I rcincuibor
to have read somewhere that a man should
apply his intelligence to be useful to humanity,,
and as L sec I shall never bo fit for
anything but to weigh cheese uud dried
plums, 1 have made up my luiud to go to
another world which 1 have heard of, and
see whether there umy not be n place for
me there. 1 ask pardon of my brethren
tor spoukittg in this disparaging way of
our common profession; but 1 defy them to
point out a single instance of a grocer haviug
ever made his way to a higher position.
There are plenty of manufacturers who
have become deputies and are decorated
and loaded with all sorts of honors, but the
like has never happened to a grocer. For
these reasons I have determined to hang
myself, i bog my parents to erect a simple
tombstone to my meaiory, and to inscribe
upon it these words, 'Horn to be a
uiau ; died a grocer.' " /

you bate kicked into the ckmot, wht-.e
dressing-gown you have worn while couibiug
your buir; who has been down in the
kitchen with you at oluvou o'clock at night
to hunt a chicken bono; who hat hooked
your dresses, unlacod your boots, uud tied .
your "bonnot; wit? has stood before yoa*
looking-glass with thumb and finger on
proboscis, scratching his eh in ; whom yon
have buttered and teased; whom you have
