The South claimed as a constitutional right the privilege of taking slaves Into the free Territories of the States, and th? North claimed that slavery could only be established by a special law.

What this quiet may portend it is impossible to foretell. It may offer the opportunity for reflection, reconsideration, and reconciliation, or only prove delusive by giving way to fiercer outbreaks and more decisive results. All we can say is that It exists, and a quiet unlooked for and unaccounted for exista. In the meantime the South Carolina amM*saitor or commissioner Is at Washington,and the aec-et of bis instructions Is so well kepi luac uoiiiing but the most unsubstantial rumors have currency.

It la the opinion, however, of well informed Southern gentlemen, that Arfcanaaa cannot posatbly atand against the overwhelming aereaaion sentiment prevailing in Mlaalsaippi and Loniaiaaa.

Curtln was Inaugurated Governor of Pennsylvania on Tuesday at Harrlsbure. In bla address be pledge* hlmaelf to atand between the Conatitation and all encroachments instigated by hatred, ambition, fanaticism, or folly. He aaya the election of the President has he?n made a pretext for disturbing the peace of the country by wresting from the Federal Government the powers which tbe people conferred on It when the Constitution waa adopted. There haa been nothing in the life or acta of Mr. Lincoln to warrant the excitement Blinded in their judgment, a p*rt of the people are now precipitating themselves into a revolution. He saya that if Pennsylvania has any laws infringing on the right of any State that contravene any Federal law. or obstruct their execution, thfV OHL/ht tn hp Ppnnavlv^nli Kta nevt r faltered In the recognition of all the duties imposed .by the national compact, and will, by every act consistent with devotion to the lntereata of her people, promote fraternity and peace between the states. When trade was prostrate and Industry paralysed by adverse legislation by the General Government, Pennsylvania waited patiently. No voice spoke disloyalty or treason, and na arm was raised to strike at the sacred fabric of the Union. It will be our duty to unite with the people of the loyal States.in just and honorable measure* for conciliation If they are just and moderate the danger may be averted. Oars Is a National Government, having all the attributes of sovereignty Among these is the right of self-preservatlon. No State, or combination of States, can cvcue uur aiMoire iDtaiKirn irom uw oongation? of the Union. Pennsylvania will never acquiesce in such a conspiracy, nor aaaeat to doctrines involving the destruction of the Government. If it Is to exist it must have power adequate to the enforcement of the supreme law In every State It is the first duty of the Federal Government to stay the progress of anarchy, enforce the laws, and Pennsylvania will give its united, honest, and faithful support The people mean to preserve the Union at every hatard. ICT" Gov Yates, of Illinois, in bis Inaugural address, avows the doctrine of the "lrrer?r???ihl? conflict" between freedom and slavery, but insists that it doe* not necessarily disturb the relations of the State* He denies the right of secession He declares that no seceding Stale shall embarrass or interrupt the free navigation of the Mississippi; recommends the militia to be put in readiness to protect the State or respond to mv call of the federal executive for the suppression of rebellion or enforcement of the laws How Georgia was Cakkiid for Sbcessio*.? It seems that on the day of election in Georgia despatches were circulated through the State as AI AL-A - " nung iwi ?ue umiea states troops were bombarding Charleston. The Augusta Constitutiona list says" We ire clearly of the opinion that Georgia bas been carried for secession by the grossest frauds, in the way of tbese sensation dispatches, that were ever practiced on a confiding people; aud we embrace tbe present moment to warn them not to be deceived during tne session of tbe Convention by similar tricks Address to the Catholics or Sr. Lona.? Archbishop Kenrlck, of St. Louis, has Issued a brief address to the Roman Catholics of that city, exhorting (hem in the present disturbed state of the public miud to avoid all occasions of public excitement, to obey the laws, to respect the rights of all citixens, and to keep away, as much as possible, from all assemblages wherethe indiscretion of a word, or the impetuosity of a momentary passion, might endanger public tranquility.
