There are now but a few days, to go upon, and we must confess tho prospect of a settlement satisfactory to them- looks extremely gloomy. Failing to get this settlement, will the Bonier Sinvo States join tho “ Confederate States of America,” or will they form a new Confederacy ? Upon the solution of this question the future wclhbeing of tho South ern Confederacy now hangs suspended. If they fail to join ns, our numerical weak ness will invite aggression, and we fear that we shall be involved in perpetual war. Their self-interest may prompt them to join us, but their pride will revolt against it, and we cannot pretend to predict what will be the result. It was in view of the vast importance of a united South that we favored eo operation in the late contest in this State. We have long ago learned that it is very difficult to drive men into a par ticular policy. Much may be done by coax ing, persuading and inviting—when noth ing at all could bo accomplished by force. Our brethren of the Border States might have been carried along with the Gulf States, if the people of the latter had first uiutcd with them in a demand fora satis factory settlement in tho Union. Had such demand been made and failed, there would have been no sort of difficulty in carrying all tho slaveholding States out of the Union together. This is, and has been all the while our opinion, and it can go tor what it is worth. Other counsels having pre vailed, however, and a portion of the Slave States having seceded, wo are exceedingly anxious now to have co-opcration after se cession. We therefore hope that our breth ren of tho Border States will act in a man ly spirit, and forgetting what thoy regard as a slight, join the Confederate States as Boon as possiblo. They need have no fears concerning tho re-opening of the slave trade or free trade and direct taxation. It is true, there are some persons in the new Confederacy in favor of those measures, but a very large majority of the people are unalterably opposed to them. Como for ward, then, friends, and let us have a Go vernment “of size,” which we consider more important than “ a party of size.” Ik-a.sM'mbling of the Convention.

This is now tho ail-engrossing topic of interest. If Lincoln and his Black lie publican followers are (sincere in their declarations tvs to the policy of the incom ing Administration, war is inevitable.— They say they will re-capture tho forts MARYLAND. An informal convention, unauthorized by the Governor, is in session at Baltimore Tho aims and sentiments of the Convention are, perhaps, best set forth in tho address of Judge Chambers, its President. Ho said: This Convention, as I understand it, is called for the purpose of ascertaining—so far as could be ascertained by consultation with tho representatives of all sections of tho State—tho course which is best for Maryland to pursue in the present crisis. Its honest, avowed purpose is of doing as best; we may all lies within our delegated power to promote tho peace of tho nation and the intersts of Maryland. I know there aro those who entertain a very mis taken idea of tho character of this body, ind motives and purposes as false as they are uncharitable and unjust have been at tributed to it. But errors of that class are unavoidable in periods of high excite mont, and therefore it is that in our delib erations we should carefully guard against irritating, intemperate expressions which shall impugn the integrity of those enter taining different views from ourselves.— The men who unjustly ascribe to this Con vention any purpose of secession have most gravely misconceived the object of the as semblage. [Applause, chiefly in the gal leries.] Ifanymanhas aided in placing mb in tho Chair under the impression that I favor tho doctrine or the act of secession, I take occasion to say lie has not paid me a compliment. I regard secession as the greatest curse which has over fallen upon the nation [ap plause in the galleries,] and no man can be gin to conceive the evils which must result from tho secession movement. I am for the Union as long as there is a prospect for maintaining it. I am for the Union just so long as it can be maintained This invaluable medicine is unfailing in the care of all those painful and dangerous diseases to which the female constitution is subject. It moderates all excess and removes all obstructions, and a speedy cure may bo relied on. To Marrti d Ladles It is peculiarly suited.

An attempt to do these things will of course bring on a col lision, as the seceded States have no notion of permitting the revenue to be eollectd or tho forts and arsenals re-taken. There is no use in blinking the facts. A collision is near at hand. Our people may as well make up their minds to it tit once. We do not now think it will be of long duratiou. Neither party has enough spare cash to keep up the contest long— more especially when all see and feel that it is manifestly to tho interest of botli sec tions to preserve the public peace. There is ono view ot tho case, however, which is eonsoling. If the Border States join us, “old Abe” and his cohorts will not attempt to coorce tho Southern States. If they remain in the Union, and he is fool enough to attempt coercion, they will assist us. They can never think of help ing Abe. So that, in any view of it, the “rail-splitter” will find coercion “a hard road to travel.” of Maryland. [Great and continued ap plause.] Is there a man who would wish to go farther? Is there a man who in pri vate relations would consent to hold com munion with those who have constantly violated his rights and outraged his digni ty and honor? [Applause.] Is there a right thinking man who can consent upon questions of honor to control his actions bv pecuniary consideration; or is there a nation which would consent to fill in the eyes of the world a position at onco dis honorable and cowardly for the sake of filling its treasury with gold and silver; and if not, is there a State in this Union which would agree to its own degradation ? No. Therefore, while I say that I consid er secession to be the accumulation of all tho evils which have afflicted us, yet I hold that it must be submitted to when the on ly remained alternative is dishonor aud degradation. [Vehement applause.] Even those who have opposed the course wo have thought proper to pursue declare that they will resign all the blessings which flow from union, and encounter all the dan gers of secession, rather than to purchase the privilege of peace with shame and dis honor. “Bid Abe.” bgro-worshippers affect to be great- with the lato speeches of “old while on his way to Washington "The rest, of mankind,” however, '-V.nous in tho verdict that the rail- i a mi serable old fool.

As evidence of the efficiency of tho Grover A Baker Machine,, we may state that Hon. Judgo McGoire. of Munroe. La., who lias ono, says, “ My negro clothes were made with it last fall and again this spring. I am perfectly satisfied with it, and would not be deprived of its use for three times its cost.” Can any thing be more pointed or satisfac tory?
