The instinct of ““self-preservation, the first law of nature,’ will induce them, the Enquirer and Ezaminer may rely on it, to arm and organize for the due reception of any such meb-invasion of Washington city as they (the newspapers aforesaid) propose. What Washing- ton city unanimously desires, is the future security of southern rights in the Union: Not Its destrac- tion, by armed violence, beginning with the sack of tteeif—the Federal Metropolis. fancy any such plan of seeking to produce the “southern unity”? which the two noisy disunion Richmond papers profess to be seeking to attain. in truth, that such an idea should be broached, Proves only that those whe broach it are utterly crazed, and are, therefore, more than all otbers, unsafe as leaders and counsellors of the people in times like these. Apropos of Pittsburg’s seizure of the cannon ‘She, more than any other point of the Northwest, bas been declatming against secession, on account of the necessity for the inviolable freedom of the navigation of the Mississippi and its tributaries. Yet she would be first to violate it. Who doubts for an instant that if recent accounts of her doings there turn out correct, that equally hot blood and hot heads in Louisiana and Mississippi will seize the frst richly freighted Pittsburg steamboat ‘within their resch, under the pretence of retalia- tion for that city’s seizure of the cannon ? Now, how long can such things as we explain above go on without reducing the whole country into the condition of anarchy that has prevailed throughout Mexico for so many years past? Is it not worth while for those who will be the losers by its Inauguration among us, to make a really serious effort to nip it inthe bud, by concert on their part, and action in pursuance of that concert worthy of freemen descended frem our revolu- ' | Tas House Comitrex oF Tuinty-rHrex.— Intense interest exists here in the probable action of this Committee in itssessionof to-day. Almost all seem to imagine that this will be the last time on which its members will come together. That is to say, that its Republican members will per- sist in refusing all overtures frou their conserva- tive and other colleagues upon it for the settle- ment of the troubles on the basis of Mr. Critten- den’s propositions; and tbat the latter will therefore decline to meet them thereafter for Information now in our Possession leads us to a more hopeful conclusion, however. We know that Mr. Corwin by no means despairs, yet, of a report concurred in by majorities of all the parties represented in the Committee. If such a report be made, the trouble Will be over from the instant of its Presentation to the House; and those at the South who would destroy the Union for the sake of its destruction, will be utterly powerless for further mischief in every Southern State except South Carolina. Else- where at the South, their power is based wholly upon the prevalence of the idea lican party will have no tion without civil war. That once exploded, and the black cloud hanging over the country’s fu- ture at once vanishes. II. Suxaton Szwazrp—We apprehend that the New York Herald is correct (in its issue of ves- terday) Im drawing from Mr. Seward’s recent New England dinner speech the conclusion that he is preparing to show a willingness for the set- tlement of the troubles in the Union, and without civil war. Circumstances that have come to our knowledge within the last twenty-four hours lead us to ope that he will ere the close of the current week counsel a settlement upon the basis proposed by Mr. Crittenden way from him will instantly settle the control versy; dethroning the disunionists per se at the South, whose power, after all, is but the result of the universal belief at the South that the Repub- ‘ican party bas made op its mind for war to the knife from the start, upon the co of the slaveholding States Iv tex Comuitrez oF Tuinry Up, asis now apprehended by so many, on to- all its members except the Republicans and Messrs.
