Fsllow-Citizicnb or ths Stats or Indiaxa. —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. Louisa L .Ghean.

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.

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.
