PES ARC, FRIDAY, MARCHS, 1861.
From circumstances entirely unavoidable
by us, the publication of our paper this week
lias been delayed, and the space for editorial
curtailed. V» e trust that we will not be so
situated again for some time to come. ,
The attention of our readers is called to
the cards of Memphis business houses which
appear in our paper of to-day. The merchant
and planter, who wish to make their purchases
in Memphis, cannot find more accommodating
• people with whom to trade than those who
advertise in Tiie Union.
Our Job Office.
Those who wish job work, of any and all
kinds, executed in the most tasteful style and
shortest time, are informed that we are now
fully prepared to put it through. Handbills,
billheads, dray-tickets, funeral and business
cards, and every other variety of cards and
job work, can be turned out at this office with
out delay'. Y.’c have a press, devoted to the
printing of bills, billheads, cards, etc., alone,
capable of working off fifteen hundred copies
per hour, in the neatest manner. Blanks of
all kinds constantly on hand.

Lincoln’s Inaugriral.
Elsewhere w.e publish so much of the in
augural speech of Mr. Lincoln as we have
received over the telegraph. If it has been
reported correctly, the rail-splitting President
indicates that his policy toward the seceded
States will be to *• let slip the dogs of war” in
order to induce them to return to the support
of his Administration, which, if he were any
thing else save an empty-headed imitation of
a man. he ought to know will not succeed as
long as there is a man or musket south of the
line which divides the sections which arc now
rapidly assuming a hostile attitude toward each
other. Y\’e are half way disposed to think,
however, that the telegraphic abstract of the
inaugural has not spoken as Lincoln would
have it li nominated in the bond,” for it hard
ly seems consistant that a man who so cow
11 11.1 i t . ...
iuui_y sueaseu uirougn a isoumern city, wnue
on his way to the Capital, could dream of
binding his brow with " victorious wreaths ”
gathered from battle fields, whereon will be
assembled so many of those Southerners, of
whom he was so stricken with terror at Balti
more. We shall know his sentiments beyond .
all doubt in a few days when the entire
message reaches us, and spread them before :

OtJR READERS are awaje that for several
weeks past we have been called from home
on business, and consequently are not responsi
ble for the red-hot tone of the several editorials
in our paper during the time. These articles
were from the pen of a warm-tempered young
gentleman who has been enamored of seces
sion as deeply for some months as Falstaff
adored sack. We have never loved secession
lor its own sake, hut only consent to it as the
last remedy for the evils which are almost
hourly thickening around us. As long as a
chance existed for the honorable settlement
of the diilieulties which have tended toward
tlie disruption of the Union, we were for
keeping the States peaceably united. All
hope for such a termination we much fear has
*• gone, glimmering through the dream of
things that were,” and in less than sixty days
we believe that the rest of the Southern
States will find it necessary to wheel into the 1
. ranks of the Southern Confederacy. The :
Peace Conference has proven an entire failure, j
and left the troubles as far from adjustment
by fixing upon the Franklin resolutions as a ’
basis for the South, as they were before that
body assemble d. Mr. Lincoln's reported in
augural address Las widened the breach, and I
Avill cause hostilities in twenty days, if it
shadows the policy he actually intends to
pursue.
df nothiug else “turns up" in the next
fcAY days, to change the already existing cir- |
cuinstances, avc are for immediate secession
by our State Convention, but we advocate it j
more sorrowfully than would the ardent writer
who spoke through our editorial columns dur
ing our absence.

THE FRANK UN AMENDMENT.
—
The Peace Congress, which recently ad
journed at Washington, settled upon the fol- !
lowing plan of adjusting the difficulties be
tween the North and South uu the slavery
question in the Territories. The resolution
was offered by Mr. Franklin, of Pennsylva
nia, as an amendment to the Guthrie propo
sition :
‘‘ In all the present territory of the United i
States, not embraced by the Cherokee treaty. \
north of the parallel of thirty-six degress and '
thirty minutes of north latitude, involuntary j
servitude, except in punishment of crime, is
prohibited. In all the present territory soutli
of that line, the status of persons held to ser
vice or labor, as it now exists, shall not be
changed ; nor shall any law be passed to bin
der or prevent the taking of such persons to
said territory, nor to impair the rights arising
from said relation ; but the same shall be sub
ject to judicial cognizance in the Federal
Courts according to the common law. When
they say territory, north or soutli of said line,
within such territory as Congress may pre
scribe, shall contain a population equal to that
required for a member of Congress, it shall,
il its form of government be republican, be
admitted into the Union on an equal footing
with the original States, with or without in
voluntary servitude, as the Constitution of
such State may required
Cassius M. Clay—Wm. II. Seward—
Tin Republican Party.—The Cincinnati
Enquirer of Saturday says:
Cas-ius M. Clay was in the city yesterday,
just from Washington, and we learn from a
friend who talked with him that two divisions
of the Republican party are being rapidly and
definitely formed, and that there will be a
desperate struggle between the two for ascen
dancy. One will be led by Mr. Seward and
the oilier by Horace Greeley; the former will
be the conservatives and the latter the radi
cals of the party. That coincides with what
the latest despatches to the New York Her
ald say on the same subject.

LINCOLN-S IXAUGtRAL.
The following synopsis of Mr. Lincoln’s
address, upon the occasion of his inaugura
tion last Monday, at Washington, lias reached
us by telegraph. Whether it is correct in
every particular remains to be confirmed :
“ There has never been reasonable cause
for apprehension that Southern property,
peace and security would be invaded, or be
endangered by the accession of a Republican
administration. lie quotes his speeches, de
' daring it not his purpose to interfere di
' rectly or indirectly with slavery in the States,
lie does not mean to construe the Constitu
tion by hypocritical rules lie holds that by
universal law and the Constitution, the union
of the States is perpetual. If the United
States be not a government proper, but an as
sociation of States, in the nature of a con
tract, can that contract be peaceably annulled,
without the consent of all the contracting
parties? I consider the Union unbroken,
and shall take care, to the extent of my abili
ty, as the Constitution expressly enjoins, that
the Federal laws be faithfully executed in all
the States. In doing this, there need be no
bloodshed, or violence, and there shall be
no bloodshed, unless it be forced upon the
National authority. The power confided to
me will be used to hold, occupy and possess
the property and places belonging to the gov
ernment—to collect duties on imports, but
beyond what may be necessary for these ob
jects, there will be no using force against or
among the people anywhere. The mails, un
less repelled, will continue to be furnished.
The course here indicated will be followed,
unless current events shall show a modifica
tion or change to be proper. The Constitu
tion does not expressly say whether fugitives
shall be surrendered, by National or State au
thority. It does not expressly say, that Con
gress may prohibit slavery in the Territories,
nor expressly say Congress must protect sla
very in the Territories. On these questions
the majority or minority must govern, or gov
ernment must cease. The central idea of se
cession is the essence of anarchy. The rule
of the minority is wholly inadmisable.
I do not forget the position assumed by
some that the Supreme Court is to decide
these Constitutional questions, nor that such
decisions must be binding upon the litigants.
While such decisions are entitled to very high
respect and consideration, in all parallel cases,
by all other departments of government, one
section believes slavery is right, and ought to
be extended, another section believes it to be
tpmnn* rtitr.-lif AvlAn/1.. 1
separation one section would ultimately re
vive the slave trade, the other would refuse
to surrender fugitive slaves. The different
sections cannot separate. Intercourse, amica
ble or hostile, must continue. Suppose you
go to war, you cannot fight always; when
lighting ceases, the old identical questions as
to terms of intercourse are again upon you.
This country and its institutions belong to
the people. They can amend it constitution
ally or overthrow it by revolution. lie has
no objection to the amendment proposed by
Congress prohibiting the government from
ever interfering with slavery in the .States,
including that of persons held to service ex
press and irrevocable. No authority is con
fcried on the Executive to fix terms for a sep
aration of the States. His duty is to pre
serve the Government, and transmit it to his
successor unimpaired. No Administration
can very seriously injure the Government in
four years. He conjures his couutrymon to
think calmly on the whole subject. The
Constitution is unimpaired; and the laws are
of your own framing under it, and there is no
single good reason for precipitate action. In
telligence. patriotism, Christianity, and a firm
reliance on Providence, are competent to ad
just our present difficulties. In your hands,
iny dissatisfied countrymen, not in mine, is
the momentous is.-ue of civil wgr Tim
ernment will not assail you. You can have
no conflict without being the aggressor. You
have taken no oath to destroy the Govern
ment. 1 shall now take a most .solemn one,
in your presence, to protect and defend it.
We are not enemies, but friends.’’
- i ♦ m
Tuft policy which has thus far triumphed
at Montgomery is known as the <! Mississippi
Policy.” Its triumph gives serious offense to
South Carolina. A late letter to The Charles
ton Mercury, from Montgomery, understood
to have been written by 15. 15. Khctt, who is
a delegate to the Confederate Convention,
savs. after describing the scheme of the
majority :
•• There is a graver matter than its absurdi-;
ty behind this scheme. Is it anything else
than thr polity of r<:<oi\?.trw tiny tin l Hiou ?
Take the Constitution of the United States as
it is. with all its constructive powers, and get
the frontier States in the Confederacy with
us. and will the Constitution ever be altered ?
M ill we ever be freed from the same troubles
and dangers we have been contending against
for the la.-jt thirty years? Maryland. Ken
tucky and Missouri have been protective
tariff’ State ,,and all of them in favor of in
1 inn.i* ivnn onK V n *i...
tion of the Uuited States is taken as it is,
with its consolidation constructions, to obtain
their union with us. Will they consent to
have it altered so as to prevent constructive
abuse? And if not altered, will wc nothave
the same buttle to fight over again with them,
after a few years, which wc have been com
pelled to fight with the Northern States ? Wc
will only have changed masters. But will a
Southern Confederacy exist at all with such
a policy ? Will not all the Northern States
come again into a union with us? Why
should they not? They are satisfied with the
Constitution of the United States, as it is
open to their interpretation. It establishes a
capital despotism under their power. Of
course they will seek to reconstruct the I nion.
And will it not he done ? Yes, surely under
this scheme. After all, we will have to run
round a circle, and end where we started.
The Union will he restored, with a few guar
antees about negroes, such as the frontier
States want, but which are of no consequence
whatever to the cotton States; and we will
again enter upon the broad road of consolida
tion and ruin. If the Mississippi policy is
carried out the Convention need not sit a
week.”
The Mercury, edited by IU B. liliett, jr.,
says editorially upon the subject :
“ We warn the public in time, that their
eyes may be open to the danger. AVc trust
that if such an effort is made at Montgomery,
as there is reason to believe will be made,
there will yet be sufficient sincerity, manhood,
and statesmanship in that body to put down
the insiduous proposition, under whatever
pretext it is professedly proposed. A Provi
sional Government, if it be deemed necessary
for the military exigencies of the times, but
a permanent government also as soon as prac
ticable.”

The number of United States soldiers in
Texas at present is not less than o,200.
They are picked men, from all the branches
of the service. They are stationed at posts all
along the Ilio Grande and the Camanche
, frontier, to protect the people up Texas from
Mexicans and Indian marauders.

The Charleston Mercury is finding fault
with the Southern Confederacy for adopting
the Constitution and laws of the United
States—including the high tariff of 1857. and
i the laws against the African slave trade.
D OIXGA A T TT.4 SHIXGTOX.
Capt. Danley, of the Little Rock Gazette,
has been taking a peep at matters and things
in Washington and thus recounts in a letter to
j his paper :
The extravagant and profligate corruptions
of the Government which have so often been
told of in the Gazette are greater than the
worst enemy of the administration could have
wished them. They are disgraceful to a de
: gree that ought to make all infamous who
have had any connection with them, and if
not punished, either by law or an unmistaka
ble demonstration of public sentiment, every
honest American will feel the shame attach
| ing to his once honored country.
The securities of postmaster Fowler, of this
city, were released since I have been here,
from their liability on his bond, because it
was proven upon the trial that be was a de
falter to the Government, and bis defalcation
known to the officers of the Government, be
for they went upon his bond.
On the subject of the corruptions of the ad
ministration the following is from the New
York Herald of yesterday:
Investigations show that from the Depart
ments of War and Interior some six millions
of dollars have been pilfered. From the
highest authority we learn that very extensive
defalcations have helped to impoverish the
Treasury Department. The Post office De
partment has been rotten for years and years,
as may be ascertained by the developments at
New York and New Orleans.
Wholesale stealing, commenced, however,
under poor Pierce, has been continued during
the rule of the amiable Buchanan, and the
whole amount of which the government has
been bled will not fall far short of twenty
millions ol dollars—enought to carry on the
government from now till the 1st of July.
These defalcations arc living witnesses of
the purity, integrity and splendid rectitude
of that immense humbug—the democratic
party—which certain sympathetic fossils are
now crying over. The Republicans come in
to power with a most delightful prospect,
while Floyd A Co., jingle their ill-gotten dol
lars and defy the laws.”
■- m ♦ ^
The Charleston Mercury does not like the
Constitution adopted by the new Confederacy,
and says so with its usual frankness :
££ We regret that any Provisional Govern
ment was formed at all, and in otic or two
important particulars confess to disappoint
ment and surprise at the Government and
j laws enacted. It scorns that the United
States protective tariff, of 18.’>7, has been
1-1 i.i •• i
i iUJU lli.il a l • 1.1 < 5 L 111 i! ii 111 • 11 UI
, the institution of slavery. thr< li the slave
| trade, has been inserted into he Constitution
itself. Neither of these did we expect.” The
Mercury consoles itself with the belief that
the Constitution is only a •• provi ional ” one,
and, therefore, a “better” one may yet be
adopted. The Charleston Courier, while ex
pressing its gratification in the full e.-tablish
j ment by the Montgomery Convention of a
“strong and vigorous government.” calls at
tention to that article of the Confederation
which reserves to Congress tlie power to de
clare war. and urges an immediate attack upon
Fort Sumter, without reference to the action
or policy of the new government.”
Slavery Legalized in Colorado.—In
the act providing a temporary government
for Colorado, .slavery is recognized under the
Fred Scot; decision, by the provision itali
cised in the following section .
Section G. And be it fi rth r enacted.
That the legislative power of the Territory
shall extend to all rightful subjects of legis
lation conshtmii with the Constitution of the
l uited States and the provisions of this act;
but no law shall be pa—ed interfering with

be imposed upon the property of the I uited

ang lave b p/a d unj/a ring th rights of /• -

be made in taxing different kinds of property;
but all property subject to taxation shall be in
proportion to the value of property taxed.
—-— ■ ♦ m-—•
Opening on Seward.—The Senatorial
contest being over, the Tribune says;
Senator Seward, in his speech of Thursday
last declares his readiness to renounce Repub
lican principles for the sake of the i nion.
In Ins readiness the Senator differs totally
from the almost incomparable majority of the
Republican party, and from the l’res.deut
elect. They regard the.-e principles as sa
cred. They will not forswear them at the
bidding of a world of secessionists and trea
sonable slaveholders. They see no necessity
to choose between them; but if a choice must
be made, they prefer their principles to fifty

Tiif. Puesident’s Last Levee. — The
President's levee oil Tuesday night was Mr.
Buchanan’s last. I t was the largest of his
Administration, and was very brilliant. It is
estimated that at least live thousand people
were in attendance. The venerable beads of
the Peace Conference were prominent among
the throng. In contrast with these were the
representatives of the army and navy, attired
in their brilliant warlike trappings. All the
leaders of the incoming Administration now
in the city were present, including Governor
Chase, of Ohio, whose chances far the Cabi
net increase. Of the officers of the present
Cabinet Mr. King was present; also nearly
all the foreign ministers.
The President expressed no regret that his
end had come, and Miss Lane never did the
honors more gracefully. She was attired in
pure white, and during the evening was sur
rounded with hosts of friends and admirers,
each one of whom seemed to have a parting
word to say. Everybody seemed to be merry,
the outgoing as well as incoming. 'The hand
played Away Down in Dixie, and closed with
Yankee Doodle.
R EVENEE AND 'TAXATION OF ENGLAND.
The whole net revenue of England for the
year ending December 31. i860, amounted
to £71,907.495, about equal, in round nitm
bers, to 8300,000,000. This is but tiie net
sum. The cost of collection, estimated at an
average of 8 per cent., would make the gross
amount of English taxation £77,700,000. or
8388,000,000, to be paid by a population
smaller than our own, and the majority of
them much poorer.
This vast amount is raised thus : Customs,
£23,000,000; excise, £1,000,000; stamps,
£2.250,000; post-office, £3,500,005; crown
lands, £250,000; miscellaneous items, nearly
£2,000.000. and property tax nearly £3,000,
OuO. Yet immense as this amount is, it falls
short nearly three million pounds of meeting
the year’s expenditures, it is estimated that
the late war with China will cost England
$75,090,000. In return for which she gets
i indemnity to the amount of 87,500,000, in
installments, running on for several years.
This is a profitable speculation for John Bull,
but the poor tax-payers have to pay the bill.
The Savannah Republican strongly urges
an extension of the terms of office-holders
under the new Confederacy. It recommends
( that the President he elected for eight or ten
I years, with a provision for his final retirement
on a pension at the expiration of his term. A
i truly republican idea.
