principal of the debt by tbe operation of a
sinking fund of ten millions, unless capital

The node in which this is to be effeoted is
by an export duly on cotton of two and a half

yield fifty millions of dollars—forty millions
the price of ootton declines, to that point at
which the burthen of the duly will be equally
divided on producers and consumers, will hold
good whether the period be two, three, four
or fire years. The longer the duration of
that period, the higher in price will ootton
range, the longer will the produoers be able
to compel the consumers to pay the duty, and
the lower will be the rate of the inoome tax.

From our old Correspondent, ‘ D. L. D.’>
Richmond, February 5, 1663.
For a week or more the Senate have had un-
for Interest and ten millions for a sinking I £ er consideration a bill to organize a Confederate
- , . . . . . . A „ * I Supreme Court. The debate has taken a wide
fund. It ib our principal staple that must be I range, and we have had learned . speeches in

cuniary difficulties—not by the purchase of at uciiou. Some of the participants in. he dis,

by a duty which shall oompel the oonsumers I what the instrument means, as any body else,
in Europe and the North to pay the duty—as I - h * a ‘*- a 8B< * . comi T lentar y upon their work.—
we shall presently show. Should the necessi
ties of the government require immediate pe
cuniary relief, it might offer a pledge to
European capitalists to impose such a rate of
duty as wonld produce fifty millions per an
num tor two years, to be paid when the
Southern ports are opened, and as soon
as the duty can be eolleoted. It is the opin
ion of praotical men that with such a pledge
combined with even a moderate inoome .tax,
From the pending debate in the Senate, it would
seem that those who made our new Constitution
do not understand it. This is certainly a had
beginning for our Southern Republic.
There is no good reason why there should be
a single ambiguous expression in the Constitu
tion. The fact that there is v single feature in
it which admitaol two opinions shows the there
was a deficiency of wisdom and statesmanship
in the convention which formed it. The truth
is that out Constitution is too nearly a literal
transcript of the Constitution of the United
States. The greatest statesmen the country
produced differed diametrically as to the mean
have a majority in each of the Legislatures of
these States. But the Governors aro Abolition
ists, and this is a serious draw back. In both
of those States the Democrats aro squaro out
against sustaining Lincoln’s proclamation. Lin
coln, ol course, can’t recede from his position
on that subject, and hence the influence of
those States so lar .as the Legislatures are con
cerned, are directly at issuewith the President.
Tho Democratic Legislature and abolition
Governor of Indiana are already at loggerheads.
There is intense excitement in consequence.—
The Issues of the excitement sro rapidly spread
ing from the seat of government to all parts of
tho State. -An undoubted majority of thepeoplo
are with tho Legislature. Things may progress
so far as that the Legislature will pass an act
of secession. It so, Illinois would immediately
follow. Such action would l>e resisted by the
Governors, and thus would commence a civil,
war.
At the election tor members of Congress in
Ohio, in October last, the Democrats carried the
State by a large majority. The Legislature,
however, which holds over from a former elec
tion, is abolition. The same is trite of the Gov
ernors. But the Democratic pcoplo of the S ate
sympathise with their brethren immediately
west of there. It, therefore, the fire of revolu
tion breaks out in cither of the other States, the
conflagration will extend to Ohio.
The spirit of resistance to Lincoln is rife in
New York. Should a revolution break out
anywhere, it would certainly be caught up
there. Indeed the outbreak may commence
in that State. Gov. Seymour would b.* with
any movement that might be directed against
Lincoln. The Legislature of New York is so
peculiarly constituted that it will not initiate
any radical or violent movement. But the
people there,^ particularly in the S .uthern
part of the* State—which i mb races its con
trolling intelligence and wealth—aro almost
unimously in iavor of overthrowing Lincoln.
So, taking all the signs of the times into
consideration, it is by no means improbable
that ero long we will see a terrible civil war
in the North. The abolition leaders plainly
see such a war looming up, aud are now
trembling in the breeze. They will make a
desperate straggle to retain this power; but
let the storm once commence, and it will soon
assume tbe power of a mighty tornado, that
will sweep every thing before it.
It is no MWrt that those .who are working
for a separation of the West from tile East,
look to a formal affiiliatiot with the Confed
erate Stales. If the movement were to suo-
oeed, the party achieving the success would
willingly adopt our constitution. But this
would not seouro their admission. Under our
constitution, it takes two-thirds voting by
States, to admit a State. ■ It is not likely
therefore, that any non-slavcholding Slate
will, under any circumstances, be admitted
into our Confederacy, during the present gen
eration, at least.
Besides this, whenever tbe work of disen-
tigration commences, Now York, Pennsylva
nia and New Jersey, will have to establish
new relations, hence, these StateB will be un
willing to separate from their Western sisters.
The whole of them would be anxious for an
arrangement by which they a®d the South
Could get together under the same govern
ment. But that cannot be. The probability
is, therefore, that a new government will be
formed of the StateB of New York, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, .Illinois
and Iowa. Now England w\ll be “left out in
the oold.” Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnes
ota will be fragmentary Slates, just “hanging
round loose." They will want to sustain
Linooln, but will be geographically out off
from New England. What will become of
them no body knows, and no body cares.
Before all this comes to pass, there may be
a season of anarchy at the North. Buttlmta
middlo government will be formed at no dis
tant day is aBo-rlaiu as any future event can
be within human prevision. What kind of a
government it will be,-no mortal can tel).'—
Tho probability is that it will bo strong, and
sin!|>le in its operation. If there was any one
non 'tiere, who stood out in towering promi-
i > £«#, who could command the sympathies of
the masses, he would have no difficulty in
seizing power, and wielding, and with all the
absolutism that marks tho reign of Louis Na-
paleon.
There is but one danger to the South in
oonneotion with any movement for the for
mation of a middlo government; and that is
that Western Virginia, Kentucky, and Mis
souri, may want to go with it. This would
make our boundary ugly and inconvenient.—
As between tho North and the South, they
wouid unquestionably oome with ns. But in
deciding between the South and a middle
ernmont, it might be different. They w
be strongly appealed to, by tbe new govern
ment, and one argument, (unfortunately too
potent) wonld be that it would be free from
toth the United States debt, and Confederate
debt. D. L. D.

that the people of those portions of Lotatateua |

obvious advantage of such an arrangement ties; these parties struggled against each other
would be that it would afford facilities for for the possession of the government, and thus
tbo whole country was kept in a pertect ferment
for the last thirty years, first one party and then
the other being in power. The mischief grow
ing out of party excitement finally culminated
in a dissolution oi the gover imet.
Let us hope that no such calamity is in store
for us. We can only be saved from it by an en
lightened public sentiment which will frown
down all metaphysical, hair-splitting expounds
ers of the Constitution. With such politicians
as leaders, we will never have peace. I say pol-

drawing, of inestimable benefit, in procuring
supplies for the Confederacy, and go much
farther in the correction of the evils of a re
dundant and depredated currenoj than the
forcing system of Mr. Memminger.
In imposing an export duty there are two
evils against which we have to guard : 1,
That we do not impose so high a duty as to
cer in the Confederacy any part of the duty.
The rate we propose and the limited time for
which the duty is to continue will avert both
these evils. Two and a half dollars per bale
will not operate as a bounty to tho foreign
cultivator, The time we suggest for the dnty
to oontinne is (too years, as the period in i
Congress, at its present session, will nnques

public credit. It is likely that the general piait
which will be adopted is about this: The Trea-
ury notes now in circulation to be funded into
bonds; a new class ol notes to be issued for
circulation, and made a legal tender. In addi
tion to this, a direct tax will be laid which will
yield from one hundred to one hundred and

There is already a radical division between the
Democrats and abolitionists. It is irreconcilable.
It is an "irrepressible conflict.” It is difficult
to teli what shape their quarrel will assume.—
Bat one thing we may calculate upon with cer

coln. It trok a united North to carry on the

that the war must stop. For a while Lincoln

trials and hardships incident to a camp-life,
they gave the crowning evidence of their de
votion to onr holy cause by the effusion of
their life’s blood npon tbe sacTed altar of
their country. While we how in hnmble
