The correspondent of the London Times at Con stantinople, having expatiated at length upon the feasibility of cultivating cot:on in Asiastic Turkey, the subject was receiving attention.

If, then, sir, the pr ofile of Louisiana hnd a right, which Congo-*# count not deny, of admission into the Union with "all the rights of all the citizens of tho United .States,” it is in vain that tho partisans of the right of tl«* majority to gov ern the minority with despotic control, attempt to es tablish a distinction to her prejudice, between her right# and those of any othor Nfn'c. The only distinc tion which really exist* is this, that she can point to a breach of treaty stipulation*, expressly guaranteeing her rights, as a wrong anporadded to those which have impelled a number of her sister States to the assertion of their independence. The rights of Louisiana a* n sovereign btnto are those of Virginia—no more, no less. Let those who deny her right to resume delegated power* successfully refute tho claim to a like right in Virginia, in spito of her express reservation made mid notified to her sister Stale* when she Consented to en ter the Union. And, sir, of ail the causes which justify the action of the Southern States, I know of none of greater gravity and mute alarming magnitude than that now developed, ofthe denial of the right of se cession. A pretension so monstrous as that which per verts a restricted agency, constituted by sovereign States for common purposes, luio the unlimited des potism of a majority ; which denies al! legitimate e*- scape from such despotism, even though powers not delegated ara usurped, converts the whole fabric of constitutional liborfy into the secure abode of lawless tyranny, and degrade* sovereign State* into provincial dependencies. Sir, it lias been said that the right of *eces-ion, if conceded, makes of our government a mere rope of sand ; that to a«seri it* existence imputes to tiie lramera of tiie constitution tiie folly «f 6uwiug the seedsof death in that which wa* designed for per petual existence. If the imputation were true, sir, it would merely prove that their offspring was not ex ompt from that mortality which is the eomui -n lot of all that is not orented by higher than human power. But it i* not true. Let facts answer theory. For two-thirds of a eenturv this right has heeu known by many ofthe States tone at all times within their pow er. yet up to til# present period, when its exercise lots bscom* indispensable to a people menaced with ab solute extermination .there have been hut two instan ce* in which it wa* even threatened seriously— the first, when Massachusetts led tiie New England States in an attempt to escape from the dangers of our Inst war with Britain, and the second, when the sure State pro posed to secede on account of the admis.-ion of Texas ns a n->w State into the Union. Sir, in the langntige i f onr declaration of secession from Great Britain, it is -inted ns an established tenth that “all exp lienee hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while ills are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they arc accustomed. And nothing can be more obvious to the calm and can did observer of passing events than that the disruption of the confederacy ha* been due in n grer.t measure, not to the existence, but the denial of this right. F.-w candid men wonid refuse to admit that tlie Republicans of the North would have been cheeked in tiie mad ca reer wiiich has brought destruction to the Union hnd ’.hey been convinced of the existence of this right and tiie intention to assert it. The very knowledge of it* existence, by preventing occurrences which alone could prompt its exercise, would have rendered it a most efficient instrument in the preservation of the Union. But, sir, if the fact were otherwise, it all the teaching* of experience were reversed, better, a thou sand time* better, a rope of sand, aye, the flimsiest gossamer that ever glittered hi the morning dew, than chains of iron or shaidile* of steel. Better the wildcat anarchy, with the hope, the chance, of one hour's in spiration of fite glorious breath of freedom, than ft • >f the hopeless bondage nnd oppression to which onr enemies would reduce us. We are told that tbe law* must be enforced and the revenue* collected ; that the South iain rebellion, nnd her citizens are traitor*. Re bellion ! The very word is n confession, an avowal of tyranny, outrage and oppressing It is taken from the despot's code, and has no terrors for other than slavish souls. Where, sir, did millions of people, a* a single inan. rise in organized, deliberate, unimpassioned re bellion against justice, truth and honor ! Well did n great English siatesmnn exclaim on a siuiilnroecasion : “Yon might os well tell me that they rebelled against* the light of Heaven; that they rejected the fruits of the earth ; that they refused to breathe flip air." Men do not war against tbeir benefactor*. Thev are not mad enough to repel the very inatiuctacf self-pre- eervntion.

A Terrible Milumion. An Englishman whoconld not speak good Ger man. was riding, a few weeks ago. on the Rail road from Dresden to Leipsic, when he asked as well as he could iiow long it took to go through the tunnel. The person he spoke to thought he asked how long before the tunnel would be reach ed, and so he answered, “In half an hour.” \\ hen they approached tbe place tbe Englishman threw down his carjiet hug and palled off his coat Iu a few minutes all were iu re loped in the dark ness of tbe funnel. After aonie ten minutes a streak of light appeared, and the ladies oppressed hy the heavy atmosphere, seemed impatient to be again in pure air. boon the light came, every one took a long breath, w hen suddenly the ladies gave u simultaneous shriek and pulled their veils over their faces, to hide Irom them the disastrous con dition of the Englishman. The poor man thought the passage through the tunnel wonid lake thirty minutes, and had been surprised by returning to light in the midst of hi-toilet, w hich he had not been able to make at Dresden, and for which he thought he would take advantage of the supposed half hour’* darkness.
