Nove can tell what horrors hang surperded on atlonder thread of cireums‘ances, in the Port of Charleston. May the Government be maintained there without the shedding of blood ~ but at all events, miuintained, Ta name on every toe guc —that of the steam- er employed in the first resolute movement of the American Union against the Southern Tree ton of 1861—is the expressive harbinger of the now era about to develope itself in the polities ot the United States, From the Fourth of March next, the Garat Waser will dete its succession to the political a:cerdency so long maintained by the South. Not because the firet Western Prosi- dent— ard he a thor: ugh type of the wostern chaz- ac'or—~ will then be inaugurated, This will be the occasion, the signal, of tbe new epcen; but its cause sri neceesity are found before, in tho al- most miraculous provideutial growth of the Wost ; in the vehement yet oool-headed energy which fite it more than to cope with the impe- tuous southern furce that has heretofore dictated the gevernmont; and in the conjunction of events which brings forward the West in all the might ‘of her resources and of her impertiied loterusts, and by her representative man, in the very hoar when the South has dropped the sctptre and « new mazculine power was needed te head the Union. “Weatward the star of empire holds its way.” ‘The Star of the Weet must now inevitably prove the guiding star of Liberty and Unio. The Union, with the free and peaceful command of ‘all avermes to the seaboard, are the vital inter- ests of the giant West, which will grasp them with an iron hand in which the benes of trosson will crackle like pipe-stema, ‘Tho Mar of tho Went Excitement, ‘Tum dispatch published yesterday morning, annour cing that the steamer Star of the West, carrying reinforcements for Mej.r ANoERsON, had, om entering Charleston harbor, been fired into by the revoluionists, and compelled to put back te sed, produced the greatest excitement throughout the city, and was the chief theme of conversation in all circles. Many hoped that the dispatch would prove to be false, anwilling to believe, that far as the South Carolinians have been carried by wnressoning passion, they would, even in their freuzy, defy the power of the United Btatee, and commit an act of open war, by firing inte a vowel sailing urder the United States flag. The unanimous feeling, however, was, that if the Charleston rebels had proceeded to the last extremity, the authority of the natiopal Government and the laws of Congress must be eustained and enforesd promptly; and at all bazards, During the afternoon, the excitement was somewhat allayed, though the feeling of anxiety did not abate, by the spreading of a ramor that Capt, McGow An's wife bad reoelyed a dispateh from her busband, announcing that he had ar- rived safely in Charleston harbor and had landed the troops for Mejor Apnapsom at Fort Sumter, ‘When this report was announced on the Stock Exebange, it was received with hearty choors, and stocks rose, What tended to confiim the report was a no‘o from the agent of phe Associated Press, published in the evening papers @xplaining thet the dis- patoh relating to the firin,’ into the Star of the ‘Woot was signed ‘ Foun,” who is not employed 1s the Charleston correspendent o’ the Associated Press, Upon inquiry, however, it Was ascor tained that the owners of the Star of the West had received no word from Cpt. MoGowa%, and they knew nothing of » dispatch to his wife, B Bat ate later hour the worst fears wore re- vived, by a dispatch from Mr. Larniaa, the regular Charleston telograpbio egent, stating that ‘Fomp ” was his assistant, and that the dix patches he sont were true. Then came the dis- patch from the agent of the Asoclated press in Washingtcn, that ‘the firing into the Star of the ‘West is true beyond » doubt.” ‘These dispatches were posted on the mewspa- per bulletios, and as the mews sprosd, the excite- ment and indignation of our citizens without distinction of party, deepened in Intensity. ‘There was ore general demand that the Govern- ment should now act with the utmost energy, ‘and many a wish was uttored that the nation had another Axpaaw Jackson at its head, After the confirmation of the news that the Btar of the West had been fired into, there was much specula'ion aa to the orders given to Capt, Fammacor, commanding the United States war steamer Brook!yn, which sailed from Norfolk for Charleston, on Wednesday. It was hoped that be bad inszuctions to force an entrence into ‘(Ct prlesten barbor, if he found that the eatrance of the Star of the Weet had been opposed.

Tr onda to vee as many of you personally about it af be cam, In the meantime, We freely advertise the whole of you that Mr, Taawt has discovered what he calls “Republican proclivities,” in consequence of which he feels injared, tndignant, and detor- mained to do the Sum all the harm he can do con- veniontly and without neglecting his other bas- Dees. In other words—we unhesitatingly accept the Issue thrust upon us by our assailant, and take his attack squarely ona bared brow. We shail not even disclaim any “prcclivities” that ho may to fit to charge us with, truly er untruly, The question is not what our proclivities are, but whether or not a citizen of Now York, and an in- dependent journalist, is expected to cringe to the Prejudices of the different political parites in the community, and smother every free sentiment, and mauftl -y manly tone, in times like thene, under penalty of @ malignant p:orcription from every reader of dissenting views. We, of course, do not ask men to buy the Bor, unless they prefer it. We do not expect to maintain the general circulation and the inde- pendent influence which is our bition as a journalist, by waging war upon the political views of any honest and patrietio class of our countrymen. We have no party associations whatever, personaly or editorially, nor will we decerd toany. We know mo class nor kind of politicians, and will have nothing to do with them in public matters, either openly or secret ly. ‘Lhe Sum is neither Republican, Democratic, nor nentral, It is simply independent, patriotic, ond ingenuous, To deecend to be a party tool, would be to abdicate all that makes our profes- sion honorable in our eyes. To grovel in a sneak ing toutrality, to shirk the sacredest responsi. bilities of a public position, to have no fearles word for the right or the wrong, to ‘‘dare tell Belther truth nor lies," to make our sheet s mere cover, cloak, wrap-rascal, to every party that can Funish of protctibe—we had rather be a gal- ley tlave, or the blackest and abjectost plants tion nigger in the cotton atatee. Now, as to ‘Republican proelivities.” It that means Northern, free and democratic feeling, our readers know whether the Som is full of itor not, If It means a love of equai righte, of the freedom ‘and henor and just remuneration of labor, atd a sympethy for the poor, the suffering and the belploss every where,—the true-hearted and gen- ‘erous mastes, who are at once the chosen support ‘and the pride of the Sus, know where to find it, If it means partizanship, partiality and favorit- ism towards one set of public men, and agains, ‘another; if it means sectional bitterness, arro- gant and self-righteous proscription, uaresson- able and reckless innovation, or an unpatriotic and unbrotherly rancor against eur fellow citi- zens of other states—it is unnecessary to say that the most attentive reader will not know where to find it in our files, past or future, As to Administrations, we intend always te support cordially the existing government, placed in office by the eovereign will of the peo ple—ard more than that, ‘ordained of Gov"— just 60 for as it is faithfal to its trust ; and as cordially and faithfully to denounce every recre- ‘ancy and corruption, without a shadew of regard to party or personal consequences.—Somewhat tco much of thie, A public journal must be a faithful public servant and monitor; porhape our readers knew it just as well before reading this article as now.
