By the arrival of the North American at Qaebec on Sunday evening we have European advices to the 2d instant, two days later than the accounts brought by the Bremen. The news is important. France has so far intervened in the Italian con- test as to probibit the Admiral of the Sardinian pavy from attacking Gaeta, the refuge of the Nea- politan princes.

Hence, to every Union-loving man the paramount question is» how can we allay this fearful Southern excite- ment and bring it within the reach of reflection and reconciliation ? Let us first ascertain the point at which these Southern eeceesion movements will be brought into collision with the federal authorities, and we sball comprehend the exact point of danger. The Legislature of South Carolina has passed an act authorizing a State Convention upon the question of Union or secession; but there is nothing in this proceeding calling for federal intervention. The same Legislature has passed an act authorizing the banks withia the limits of the State to suspend specie payments; but the Legislature of any State may pass such an act at any time for the protection of the financial interests of her people. The Collector and several other federal offizers at Charleston have thrown up their commissions; but, ia a legal view of the subject, the resignation of all | the federal cffice holders south of Mason and | Dixon’s line would simply be the vacation of their offices and nothing more. So with the resignation by Mr. Chesnut, of South Carolina, and Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, of their seats ia As disunion movements they signify nothing. We may go farther. If, in advance of any State action on the main issue, and of any State authority on the subject, the people of Charles- | ton, for example, or a portion of them, should interrupt or put a stop to the peaceabdle collec- tion of the federal revenues from the Custom | House dues at that port, or should forcibly pre vent the federal officers at Charleston engaged in the Post Office, or in the transmission of the United States mails, from discharging their Official duties, the offending parties would hardly be accounted as traitors, but as a mob of disorderly persons, to be arraigned and punished as the parties concerned in a mob. The federal constitution declares that “treason against the United States shall only consist in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” The State Convention, called in South Caro- lina, may assemble, deliberate and formally re- | solve that South Carolina is no longer a mem- ber of this confederacy, but an independent republic; and she may still be exempt from | federal intervention. The mere declaration of secession, without any practical act to sustain it, will practically amount to nothing. But the | moment anything shall be attempted to super- sede any federal officer in his duties by any State officer or officers, or by any of the citi- | zens of South Carolina, acting under ber au thority as an independent republic, or as a mem | ber of an independent Southerc confederacy, that moment the federal government will be called upon to interfere; and to enforce sub mission to ite authority, it may lawfully em- ploy the whole army and navy of the United | States. The real point of danger, then, to be feared, is not the act of secession on the part of South Carolina, but some attempt to carry it into practical effect which may bring the authorities and the people of that State into a warlike col- lision with the federal government, or with “the United States,’ as the constitution expresses it, But as the act of secession might “ precipi- tate a revolution,” everything that can be doue should be done to prevent the people of South Carolina from leading off i thia desperate and ruinous experiment of going out of the Union to escape those Northern abolition aggressions which they fear within the Union. But what | am be done to allay this dreadful disunion ex- citement in » State whose political leaders for more than # quarter of a century have been working, waiting and watching for this oppor- tunity of secession? We think that much may be done to bring back the people of said State to deliberation | and reconciliation by the President in power and the President elect. At all events without etanding upon his official dignity, or upon any nice conventionality, Mr. Bachanag ghould issue an appeal tw NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 the Southern States in behalf of ofthe Union. We ehall not presume to suggest to hin the line of his argument. Let him resolve upon the appeal, and he will comprehend the argument which the exigency requires. 5o, toe, with the President elect. True, he is under 0 legal obligation to promalgate bis views and purpeses as President of the United States until be ehall have taken his oath of offive ; but be stands now under a great patriotic and moral obligation to the country which canaot be safe- ly disregarded. Let bim continue incredulous or doggedly silent, and all the efforts of Mr. | Buchanan to quiet thie Southern excitement, by | Pouring oll upon the troubled waters, may be labor thrown away. But let there be a strong sppeal for the Union from Mr. Buchanan, s¢ conded by a strong Union, conservative letter or epeech from Mr. Linceln, and this criais may | be passed in safety. We apprebend no aggressions upon the South | from Mr. Lincoln’s administration, because if it should have the will it will not have the | power to make any. We think, too, that before | the expiration of this next Congress the repub- lican party will be broken to pieces, from the weeds of dissolution already sown broadcast over il, between the moderate and the radical wing of the party camp. Hence we believe that the union of the South for Southern rights with- in the Union will, at the next Presidential c.ec- tiop, render the South and the Union secure end harmonious. Butin any event the Union at this cricis demands at once the pacifying in- terposition of the President in power and the President elect ; and, ia behalf of the North aud the Soutb, we call upon Mr. Buchanah and Mr. Lincoln to speak to the South and the North in bebalf of the Union. ‘The News from Earope—Equtvocal Con- duct of Louts Napoleom—Aid Solicited from America. We published the other day a letter from General Avervana giving a graphic account of the battle of Caserta, in which it appears the General arrived just in time to take a promi- nent part. In that letter was an earnest request that freeh efforts should be made by the friends of the Italian cause bere to raise funds in aid of the iurther struggles to which it is destined. The news received by the North American imparts increased urgency to this appeal. It would eeem from it that not only will Italy bave to’work out the redemption of her natural boundaries without the aid of France, but ia defiance of her opposition. We know not how we are otherwise to interpret the fact that Ad- miral Persano was compelled to abandon the bombardment of Gaeta by the interferenre of the French Admiral. The same policy which continues to maintain the Pope in Rome, by the aid of foreign bayonets, interposes to pre- serve to Francis the Second his last stronghold. What construction are we to put upon conduct for which no justification of political neces sity can be urged! The Warsaw Conference has broken up witbout coming to any decision; the questions put to it by Austria touching the course the other Powers would be disposed to take in the event of her being attacked by Sardinia and France remain unanswered; Austria herself, convinced that she cannot en- list the aid of either Prussia or Russia, renews her aseurances tot French Emperor that she will not depart from a defensive policy; and yet, notwithstanding all this, we find France at the last moment casting the shield of her pro- tection over the King of Naples, just as she has interfered to prevent the expulsion of the Pope. In the latter case a deference to the prejudices of the Catholic world might be pleaded as an excuse for the Emperor's intervention; in the former it will be difficult for him to finda decent pretext for his course. He holds his throne by popular election, and cannot claim to be the defender of legitimist preten- sions. When, therefore, he attempts to arrest the popular will in Naples, which has just voted the expulsion of the Bourbons, we are forced to the conclusion that he ia about to play the selfish game attributed to him, and having for its object the further ag- grandizement of his empire. For this it seems he is making enormous military preparations; but, as Count Cavour proudly remarked in his speech ia the Sardinian Chamber the other day, twenty-two millions of freemen are not to be intimidated into obeying the beheets of I'rance or of any other Power, when they are in op- position to their just rights. From what we have just stated it will be seen that much remains to be done before Italy can be placed beyond the dangers of reaction, or of bad faith on the part of her imperial ally. The étrain upon her resources bas been very great, and ber means cf meeting it bave been diminished by the withdrawal of a large proportion of her ablebodied population from industrial pursuits. Ready as are her people to bear the heavy burden of taxation which the maintenance of large armaments impoees upon them, their ability cannot keep pace with their will. Now is the time for their friends and s)mpathizers in other countries to come to their aid. Whea we can raise sixty thousand dollars for the Pope and twenty thousand for the Syrian suf- ferers, we surely can do something for the gallant and heroic people who are waging the same contest that we had to paw through before we could secure cur liberties. Let public meetings be at once called in every city, town and village throughout the Union to raise funds in aid of the Italian patriots. As « beginning, our readers are informed that 8 eubsctiption list will be opened and contri- butions received in the office of cur establish- ment. A Goon Cuaxck ror Carrraneers.—George Law bas for some yeare past been occupying the south end of the Battery with a pier for his Stoten Island ferry, without leave or license, and we now ece that Commodore Vanderbilt is about to monopolize a slice of the northern end for another pier. We advise William B. Astor and August Belmont and a few other capitalists to select portions of the Battery for their purposes now, That it le public pro- perty, and belongs to the people, is no sort of conrequence. Now is the time for capitalists to suit themselves; there is a fine water front, extending from Battery place to the barge office. They should advertiee at cnce for con- tracts to build piers there. They will pay, that fs certain, or Law and Vanderbilt would have nothing to do with them. Now is the accepte- ble time, then, for capitalists who have any in- fluence in the lobby—cod what capitalist has | nott—to take hold of the Battery and go to work.

When it is remembered how steadily the public mind in the North has been educated in the idea that “slavery is au evil and a crime;” bow for many years this has been iaculcated by the echcol books and the churches; how uader ite influence the religious sects of the country, once united in their cessions and synods, have been divided and led to look upon each other as wicked; how the missionary and tract s0- cieties have been split; how the religious book concerns have been sundered into Northern and Southern organizations; how every eystem of moral propsgandism in the North has been to a greater or less degree turned to the same objeot, and that at last political parties have come to be ranged on sectional and geographical grounds, we aball find good reason why the South should be in earnest in its present alarm. And when we reflect atill further that this idea is in dead- ly hostility to, and declares an “irrepressible conflict’ with, an institution which is funda mental in the social organization of the South, which lies at the root of all values there, which is the bond of its vast agricultural production, upon which reeta every other interest, we will find cause for the alarm of the South, and for its belief that only in @ separate and homo- geneous confederation can it find security fur its vital interests. Shortsighted people eay it is only the politi- cians who bave produced the trouble that is upon us—selfish demagogues, who have been working only for the public spoils, North and South. But politicians and demagogues are merely straws borne upon the present current of popular impulse, reeds that bend before every breath of the popular feel- ing. Imbued with selfishnese, they resist nothing, they stem no current in the public mind, they are effects, mot causes They go with the prevailing reason or madness of the hour, and, therefore, instead of being the real producers of this state of things, of the currents with which they drift or row, as present interest dictates, they are straws which indicate the course of the populst tide— reeds which bow in the direction with the pre- vailing tempest, which bas been produced by causes far deeper than their temporary and surface influence reaches. The rising pressure upon the public interests is beginning to come home in this city, which is the first to feel, through the widely extended and ramified nerves of commerce, to the pur- suits of every citizen. In its effect here we may sec eome indication of the erroneous turn which the public mind will take if not fore- warned in time. I¢ is not difficult to foresee that the foolish leaders who have fostered the ideas that are so terrible to the South will endeavor to turn the public ire from them- selves by giving a new phase to the conflict they are wsging. Already we begin to per- ceive it. The cry is beginning to be raised that it is not against the South but against the negro that thetr war is being made. We do not want to injure the South, but we do not wantthe negro. He is not our equal, he is an injury everywhere; away with him, and the South will be better off. This is what we begin to hear from half repentant black republicans op all sides; we see it in the im- mense vote against negro suffrage cast in this Btate at the recent election, and in the hostile legislation to free negross enacted by several of the Western States, and we find it even in Mr. Seward’s rhetorical declaration that “if Europe wants cotton and sugar let it send its surplus laborers” into the fever stricken fields of the Vain sophistry. Fallacious pleadings of shortsighted men, who still ignore that man Proposes but Heaven disposes. The Soath has in its midst four millions of negroes, who can- not be got rid of except by the silent workings of natural causes through « long, very long, series of years. Heaven bas established the law of their increase, and man cannot prevail against it. It is not alone the fact that the South bas now four millions of negroes in its society; within the term of the present genera- tion it will bave ten millions. The South- ern people must contemplate, then, with alarm, the proposition to belt them in with a line of free States, even as with a wall of fire, to prevent their extension. This is equivalent to devoting existing Southern society to negro preponderance at an early day—to converting the now happy Southern States into a second Jamaica, or perhaps worse, a second &t. Domingo. The Northern people consider this question only in ite abstract sense; it does not apply practically to them, and they do not follow it out to ite results. To the Southern people it is a practical question, that comes home to every man’s interest and every man’s hbearthstone, and they do follow it ont in all its practical bearings and through all its ramifica- tione. Hence the strong feeling of the South, and the reaction it is beginning to produce at the North. In the terrible state of agitation that is before us there are two men who, from their public positions, can do much to allay fhe popular slarm. They possess a moral influence which should be at once wielded. The people are beginning already to turn from the loud mouthed politicians, and to look to the statesmen of the country, the men who have present and prospective control of public affairs. These men are the actual Pre- sident and the President elect. Both should endeavor to reassure the country that no sui- cidal course will be pursued, and both should exert their moral influence to carry conviction with theic words. They must both recognise the great fact that we bave now four millions of negroes in our midst, with a large inevitable increase, and that as they cannot possibly be got rid of ft ie the duty of every staterman to meet the question, how can this great mass of an inferior race be best govern- ed, and what social position for them is best in the society where where they exiat! Tor News row + rnom Ourna—We learn by the North American that the allied forces in China bave taken the Taku forte, with » loss of from four to five hundred men— heavy loss— which proves that the Chinese must have fought desperately. This is the Gret brush of the cam- paign, and the amount of carnaltios indicates that the war will be a fierce and bloody one, with feur bundred millions of people to be conquered on the one side and a splendidly disciplined army on tbe other, ualees the fear the iret engagement, we may calculate that the loss of the Chinese was five thousand; and they can better afford to lose that number out of their immense population than the French and English the smaller amount. Tux Loxpos Puess ox Tae Paixce’s Visrr.— Now that the excitement attendant upon the Prince’s visit has subsided, it is a very curious study to peruze the accounts of the London journals which sent correspondents to report the details of the royal visit. The free, easy and enthusiastic reception of the Prince by his peers in the United Statee—for we ere all princes in our own right here—seems to have bothered the English scribes quite as much as the lively, teree, and at th. same time elaborate and particular acceunts which were presented to the public by the reporters of the chief American journals. The English journalists, as arule, are permeated with the most profound reepect for hereditary rank, and they were terri- bly shocked at the irreverence of the American reporters, who deacribe things exactly as they oconr; and the difference between the two systems is avery simple one. The Ameri- can journalist is free to speak the truth with- out respect to persons. The British chronicler is bampered by a thousand prejudices and con- ventionalitles. The English journalist too often occupies the same pesition in the intel- lectual world that the British funkey fills in the kitchen. And it is a singular fact that there was @ wonderful similarity of opinion between the flunkeys who blacked the boots, carried the burdeas and brushed the coats of the Prioce aad his suite, and the flunkeys of the press. The former, when they were en route for Portland, expressed their delight at getting ovt of this “blasted, vulgar country,” and the sentiments of the latter, although more clegaatly expressed, were identical with those of the John Thomases. It is to be hoped that the British jour- nalist will become emancipated from this ser- vile deference to rank. We are induced to be- lieve that such will be the case from the tone of some of the London papers, such as the Chronicle and the Telegraph, and from the fact that many of the most influential journals in Eogland have reproduced in full the reports of the American correspondents. As for the Prince and his party, they were very much de lighted with their visit to the United States. In Canada they were bored with stupid officials, who would persist in doing the wrong thing at the wrong time and in the wrong place; but here things went off much more plea- sently. The Prince declared on several oc- casions, ‘and especialy at Boston, that it was his intention to return to the United States “without bis nurses,” and so we may expect to see him again when he ‘has attained his ma- jority, and is free to select his own travelling companions. And, from certain indications, it is not imposeible that the Prince of Wales may choose a wife from some of the American prin- cesees, to whore fascinations he hae not been insensible. Some of the proudest of British peers have been glad to place coronets upon the brows of American belies, who excel the English women in grace, esprit and beauty. So let all the young ladics keep a sharp lookout for the next visit to America of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Tnx Rerveiicay Press on tue Coxprrion or THe Sovrn.—The republican papers ap pear greatly astonished and alarmed at the condition of sffalrs in the South, and they are innocently declaring that the republican party have no intention in the world—never had any intention—of making an attack upon the institution of Southern slavery. They lay the blame of the terrible state of the Southern States at the present time upon the conservative papers of New York and the North generally. Can anything be more absurd than this? Everybody knows that for the last twenty five years there has been a vio lent anti-slavery agitation going on in the North ern States, breathing the most threatening and exasperating language towards the South and its institutions. From the North John Brown was sent to Kansas, with money and arms, to wage war against slavery; and from Kaneas he ‘was sent to Virginia, where he spread treason and death among its peaceful citizens. Helper's book was extensively circulated, and was re- commended by Mr. Seward, Governor Morgan, Mr. Greeley, Mr. Bryant, Thurlow Weed and otber republican leaders, as well as by sixty- six republican members of Congress. And what did Helper’s book, thus recommended and endorsed, inculcate? The cutting of white men’s throats in the South by their slaves. Then take Mr. Seward’s recent campaign speeches from Massachusetts to Kansas, in which he preached a merciless crusade against the South—an “trrepressible conflict” between the slave States and the free— that Lincoln's election was to be the downfall of slavery. Take, sgain, Lincoln’s own repeated declarations, that the mission of the republican party was only beginning; that its fulfilment was to be the total destruction of slavery. Can the South be blamed for exasperated snd alarmed at sll this? What does this language mean if it does not indicate a war upon Southern institutions? If these gentlemen gave utterance to sentiments in the North and West which they did not be- Neve, and which they dare not utter in Wash. ington, what a contemptible piece of chicanery and swindling it was. The trouble has come now in the South, and the republican papers charge the conservative press with bringing it about—the conservative press which tried by every means to prevent it, and solemnly predicted it as the inevitable re- sult of the fanaticism which was driving the republican party to extremes. Yet we are complacently told now that the republican party does not entertain any tostile designs against slavery, and that all the excitement io the South was got up by the conservative jour- nals for political purposes. Did the conservative press forge those names to the Helper book? Did they advertise it, sell it in their counting rooms and circulate it by the hundred thousand! Did they send Jobo Brown to Harper's Ferry? Did they commis- Seward to make violent anti slavery speeches all the country, from the East to the Weet, from Massachusetts to Kansas! It will not do to lay the blame u the conserva. ihe republican leaders and te Se repuviionn Tuy ereues the oP women b, asperating the South beyond endurance, an they ale responsible for it. It is no use to try to shove the responsibility on to any other shoulders, or to affect astonishment at the calemitous turn things have taken ia the Southern States, We publish to dey a large number of letters from our correspondents, giving ample and accurate details of the great changes that are going on in many of the older coun- tries on that continent. It is not, however, in the contemplation of the details alone that the observer can gather the true import of the movement that now holds Europe on the verge of @ general convulsion. These must be arranged and generalized ia order to derive from them the law which guides the changerof which they forma part. When this ia rightly done it will be perceived that it is not alone in Italy that men are tearing down the time-honored theories which have ruled go- verpments and systems. for ages, but that the Latin mind everywhere is breaking through the. crust beneath which it has so long reposed, and is presenting to the world the spectacle of a grand intellectual upheaval. France ead Spain exhibit unmistakeable signs of it, aa well as Italy, and even the Teutonic elements of Germany and England are agitated by the throes of what was for centuries the master mind of the world. To the careless observer the revolution ia Ttaly is merely a consolidation of certain ma- tional elements in one political system, under the rule of King Victor Emanuel. The phile- sopher sees in it and its corollaries a grand progression of Christianity. If we analyze the events which are taking place in Italy, France and Spain, we ehall find, under the different phases impreesed by surrounding circum- stances, a wonderful similarity of agitation within the pale of the Roman Catholic churoh. In Italy it takes the form of a determined at- tempt to deprive the head of the church of tem- poral power. In France and Spain, as well as in Italy, the ecelesiastical authorities are making every effort to defend the antiquated forms of organized Christianity. The militant spirit of the church is everywhere appealed to and aroused. In Italy it attacks Victor Emanuel, Cavour and Garibaldi; in France it Jabors covertly, but strenuously, against Napoleonism, and in Spaim itetrives to, and did for a time, raise a oru- eading spirit against the Moors, in order te divert the newborn intellectual activity of the masses from its object. This object is a far higher one, and vastly more wide reaching in its effects, than is com templated in the schemes of Cavour or Louis Napoleon, Garibaldi or King Bombs. It is a great progression of Christianity, like those which made the times of St. Paul, of Coa- etantine, of Hildebrand and of Luther eras im the history of the religious and intellectual de- velopement of man. The priesthood feel and oppose everywhere the coming innovations, True to the forms in which they have been edu- cated, they resist the advancing spirit of the age, as their class have ever done when the throes of the popular intellect have given birth to a new order of things. But no philosophies miné can doubt that the purging of the church from the soiling contact of temporal power will give it a higher developement’ and a still more Catholic influence through- out the world. Already the church in England is beginning to experience an influence from the new Ohristian progres- sion, and the Christian sentiment in Germany has been prepared, even by the labors of in- fidelity, to accept the seed of a purer and holier church Nor is it alone in the religious idea that the upheaval of the master mind of Europe is pre- paring a new order of things. It has found, and is developing in Italy, the union of order and stability with liberty and constitutional government. The Gallic and Teutonic intel- lects, misled by the brilliant abstractions of the French encyclopedists, have accepted the theory of individual right, in opposition to that of family existence, as the sole basis of society and government. Asa necessary consequence they have failed to find the principle of sta- bility, and revolution in France and Germany has exhibited only « transition through anarchy to deeper The exaggerated de- velopement of the right of the individual over those of family and society makes government imporsible, and reduces social organiza- tion to Fonrierism and the worst form , of socialism. The Latin mind is work- ing out the new political problem af well as the religious one for Europe. Acoept- ing a dynasty as the representative of the pria- ciple of stability, it is establishing constitu- tional government on the basis of the right of the people to change the dynasty whenever it becomes inimical to liberty and progress. The family idea thus becomes the basis of social and political organization in Europe, and revo- lution in Church and State is made consonant with stability and the developement of the liberty and intellect of man. Toe Disctontst Ecsweyt at tur Socra.—It in @ very singulsr fact, but one that is proved by the concurrent testimony of all our des- patches from the South, that the claes of people who are the most ultra and uncompromising in devotion to the slavery institution and in the movement toward disunion are the non-slave- holding whites. The black republicans, taking Helper for their authority, would have had us believe that the three hundred and fifty thoa- sand elaveholders at the South constituted aa odious and oppressive oligarchy, trampling upon the social and political rights of the seven and s balf millions of nonslaveholders, and that the latter would bail the election of Lia- coln as the signal of their deliverance from this oppressive thraldom. But it now turns out that these representa- tions were the exact opposite of the truth. It is the non-slaveholders who are driving matters to extremes, and who are éoing al! in their power to precipitate disunion. The slavehold- ers, the large property holders, and the com- mercial clasees, constitute the conservative mi- nority which is interposing its comparatively feeble, and, we fear, futile efforts against the secession movement. ‘Therein, too, lies the great danger of our Present position. The delegates to the South Carolina Convention, which is called for the 17th of December, are to be voted for by the People at large, and consequently none will be elected save those whe are declared disunion- ists, The action of such Convention cannot be 4 matter of doubt or uncertainty, It will de- cided!y declare for immediate secession, and then the State will be irretrievably bound to that policy. Thue it will beim Alabama and Georgia. Thus we find that the political equabbling of corrnpt parties over the exten- ston or restriction of slavery has evoked a
