Lincoln’s Indianapolis Speech.

—I am here to thank you much for this mag
nificent welcome, and still more for the very
generous support given by your State to that
political cause which I think is the true aud
just eause of the whole country and the whole
world. Solomon says, “ Thera is a time to
keep silence and when men wrangle by the
month with no certainty that they mean the
same thing while using the same word, it per
haps were as wail if they would keep silence.
The words “coercion” and “invasion” are
much used in these days, and often with much
temper and hot blood. Let us make sure, if we
can, that we do not misunderstand the mean
ing of those who use them. Let us get the exact
definitions of these words, not from diction
aries, but from the men themselves, who cer
tainly deprecate the things they would repre
sent by the use of the words. What, then, is
“coercion?” what is “ invasion?”.Would the
marching of an army into South Carolina,
without the consent of her people, and with
hostile intent toward them, be invasion! I
certainly think it would be “coercion” also if
the South Carolinians were forced to submit.
But if the United States should merely hold and
retake its own fsrts and other property, and col
lect the duties on foreign importations, or even
withhold the mails from places where they were
habitually violated, would any or all these things
be “ invasion ” or “coercion Do our pro
fessed lovers of the Union, but who spitefully
resolve that they will resist ooercion and in
vasion, understand that such things as these
on the part of the United States would be co-
eroion or invasion of a State? If so, their
idea of means to preserve the objeot of their
great affection would seem to be exceedingly
thin and airy. 1C sick, the little pills of the
hamocpathisl wou.il be much (os large for it
to swallow. In their view the Union, as a
family relation, would seem to be no regular
marriage, but rather a sort of passional at
traction. By the way, in what consists the
special sacredness of a State ? I speak not of
the position assigned to a Slate in the Union
by the Constitution, for that by the blood we
all recognize. That position, however, a
State cannot carry out of the Union with it.
I speak of that assumed primary right of a
State to rule all which is less than itself, and to
ruin all which is larger than itself. If a Slate
and a county, in a given case, should be equal
in extent of Territory and equal in number of
inhabitants, in what, as a matter of principle,
is the Stale better than the county ? Would
exchange of names be an exchange of rights?
Upon principle, or what rightful principle, may
a State, being no more than one-fiftieth part
of the nation in soil and population, break up
the nation and then coeroe a proportionably
larger sub division of ilielf in the most arbi
trary way? What mysterious right to play
tyrant is conferred on a district of country
with its people by merely calling it a State !
Fellow-citizens, 1 am not asserting anything.
I am merely asking questions for you to con
sider. And now allow me to bid you fare
well.
The Adams Express.
The Press will never be able to cancel its obli-
gtions to this everstirring sod ever-progressive
Company. It is always planning something for
our benefit, and never dispenses its favors with
a sparing hand. Let an editor stay at home,
or go where he will, or do what he may, some
attache of this omni-present Company is ever
in hfering distance, ready to serve and be
friend him. And then, everything they do is
well and quiokly done, from the transporta
tion of a million across the continent to the
delivery of your likeness to your country
sweetheart. Among the royalty of Europe,
matrimonial affairs are negotiated by proxy ;
who know* but that these ubiquitous fellows
will yet do all the courting of our American
sovereigns, especially of those who are too
modest or too busy at home to give due atten
tion to matters so intimately connected with
their temporal salvation ! Should that bless
ed milenium ever arrive, tbe ladies may set
us down as a gallant of the first water, and
we hereby make choice, of Spoonbb, for our
first adventure.
The last project of the Express is tbe start
ing of special messengers from Montgomery,
daily, for the benefit of the Press and others
who have communications to forward that
cannot well delay the mail. Through this
means we are enabled to receive the letters of
our correspondent twelve hours in advance of
the mail and thereby publish them a day ear
lier than we should without it. We feel most
thankful for this favor, and every reader of a
newspaper has a share in the obligation.
So much for the Adams Express—long may
they wave.—Sav. Republican.

The Right of Blockade.
The great anxiety which is naturally felt
at this moment iu regard to the security of
commerce, and the possibility of an attempt
on the part of the United States to bloekade
the mouths of the Mississippi compels us to
enter somewhat sooner than we would other
wise wish, upou the consideration of tha gen
eral question of blockade in its internal at
well as external aspects. In this article we
shall confine eurselves to a mere statement of
the purposes of blockade and the announce’
ment of a few practical rules deduoed from tbe
principles of public law, which at any lime
permit the exercise of a right whiob, of neces
sity, must be a restriction and a burden up
on all nations as well as those immediately
interested.
The right of blookade is essentially a mili
tary right and recognized as a means of crip
pling and worrying an enemy with whom tbe
blockading power is at war—actual war. It is a
right which in general can only be resorted to
by a recognized power or State, against an
other recognized power or State. In other
words, “it must be the act of a belligerent.”
And in case of blookade of a port of an enemy,
to which tbe commerce of the world daily en
ter, due notioe must be given of suoh blook
ade, and the belligerent right acknowledged
before cargoes can be estopped. The right
of foreign nations to enter the port at New Or
leans, for example, is guaranteed by treaty—
the right is absolute so far as the treaty goes,
and the government which conceded it cannot,
of itself, withdraw it unless due notice is giv
en, and the reasons for so doing are satisfac
tory. The right which nations exeicise in
closing and opening ports for the better ao-
comodation of commerce, and the greater con
venience of the State, is a very different pro>
position from tbs right to dose a port in or
der to hinder and disturb commerce, especially
to repress it in a commodity necessary to the
quiet and comfort cf the world.
From the general definition of blockade, it
follows that before the United States canresort
to that means of annoying the Southern Statss,
she must acknowledge their independence and
go regularly to war with them m a separate
power. The right of embargo, which has
been resorted to by the United States Govern
ment in common with other nations, is a dif
ferent right from blockade in this, that when
a government finds it impossible for her to
blockade the ports of another hostile nation,
she can prohibit foreign or other vessels from
leaving her own ports, if the commodity with
which they would be laden were essential to
tbe well-being of that nation. This would
not be exactly war, but it would be an tn-
friendly act in that direction towards the States
with whom commerce was thus to be literdiot-
ed. To ley an embargo on the port of New
Orleans would be on unfriendly act towards
France and England and whatever nations
trade to this port. And the right of embargo
also implies the eotual dsfacto possessions aad
sovereignty of the port and territory whose
products and commerce are in this mode to be
interfered with.—N. 0. Picayune.
The Boat of Faith.
“ Old Billy,” was a keeper of tho ferry
across the Tallahatchie at tbe little town of
Belmont, and was greatly respected and rever
ed by his colored brethren all the country
around as a pious and orthodox Hard Shell.
On one occasion, the heavy rains having wi*
dened and greatly augmented the impetuosity
of the stream, an ox-driver, the color of char
coal, drove bis “team” into the boat; and as
the old man turned his wheel and drew off
from the shore, the ox-driver looking occasion
ally forth upon the turbid stream, appealed to
this reverend ferryman :
“ 1 say, ung Billy, s’pose dem ropes break,
wbar you reckon we’d go to?”
“ I reckon you’d stay in de boat,” answer
ed Old Billy.
“ Yes. but—” continued the other—“de
boat mought be in beben ’fore we know it.”
Old Billy looked upon his young disciple
with tbe utmost scorn and contempt, and re
plied :
“Did you eber hear of a boat gwine to
heben ?”
Whar de Old Ship of ZionV promptly
asked the other.
This was a stunner. Old Billy, being a
Hard Shell of the strictest kind, could not
gainsay the existence and destination, of this
illustffott4^^—-^e^etn^ifi'queiTToil'8rfcr
a moment with extreme annoyance, he at
length uttered a groan, and said :
“ Dat boat warn’t made of wood, it was
made of faith.” And as if emboldened by a
new idea perfectly unanswerable, he added—
“And it didn’t go to heben neither. It jist
went to the shore and 'livered de passengers.”
This explanation was rather too much for
the younger; and deferring to the greater age
and Biblical learning of his “elder brudder,”
he resigned himself and team to the care of
Providence and the nautical skill of William
Guzman.

True Heroism.
One day in the year 1814, s workman hur
ried into Mr. Stephenson’s cottage with the
startling information that the deepest main of
the colliery was on fire. He immediately hast
ened to the pit’s mouth, about a hundred yards
off, whither the women and ehildren of the
colliery were fast running, with wildness and
terror depicted in every face. In an energetio
voioe Stephenson ordered the engine men to
lower him down the shaft in tbe corve. There
was danger, it might be death before him, but
he must go. As those about the pit mouth saw
him descend rapidly out of sight, and henrd
from the gloomy depths of the shaft the man
gled cries of despair and agony rising from the
work people below, they gazed on the heroic
man with breathless amazement. He was soon
at the bottom, and in the midst of his work
men, who were paralyzed at the danger whioh
threatened the live* of all in the pit. Leaping
from the corve, on ite touohing the ground, he
celled out, “Stand back ! Are there six men
among you who have courage enough to follow
me ? If so, come, and we will put the fire out.”
The Killiugworth men had always the most
perfect confidence in George Stephenson, and
nstantly they volunteered to follow bins. Si
lence suceeeded to the frantic tumult of the
previous minute, end the men act to work. In
every mine, bricks, mortar, and tools enough
are at baud, and by Stephenson’s directiou,
materials were forthwith oarried to the requir
ed spot, where, in a very short time, a wall
was raised at the entrance to the main, he him
self taking the most active part in the work.
Thue the atmospheric air was exoluded, the
fire was extinguished, the people were saved
from death, and the mine was preserved.—Men
Who Have Risen.
