THE NEW YORK SUN. AY MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1861, Co-ercion. Nowrn and South agree that there should be no coercion of states, So says Mr. Bucaran, jand 00 says Mr. Lixcorn's prime minister, Tho ‘only question at issue is that of reciprocity in this non-coercion, We insist that no state shall coerce the Union, But the fomenters of trea- gon claim aright to eject the Union by force ‘ fromrfte property, for which it has always paid “the most liberal equivalents and seeured the most rolemn acts of perpetnal cossion from the states in which it is situated. And their idea of non-coereion is, that the Union shall submit! ‘The government of the United States wil; sundortake no coercion, will declare no war, will violate, in all probability, no foot of state terri- tory. It will simply hold its own property, Just as any private citizen would do, if he had go mach power. It will maintain the command of all national highways and keep them open for the common benefit, and will prevent all smuggling of dutiatle foreign geods into tho country. Then, if a tate chooses to outrage fand defy the Constitution within ite own borders, to exclude the federal courts, to deny to citizens of other states their constitution- i rights, and to withdraw from all participa- tion in the national government—they will doubtless be permitted to go on in this brutish course of lawlesancss and self-isolation among themselves, as long as they can endure its con- sequences. But they will not be allowed to co- eree the Union, to rob the people of the United States, nor to shut up the national highways and cutlets of commerce. A firm and quiet guard wpon the ports and great rivers of the country, is ald that is needed to assort and main- tain the authorMy of the Union, and to strangle treason with its own rop>. ‘The Continent our Country. Wr are one country territorially. physically, “what Gop hath joined” cannot put asunder, There was a geographical neceasity for the extension of the Union from the northern lakes to the Gulf ef Mexico, and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic, And it is just because the physical necesvity did not ex- tend beyond these limita, that Mexico and Canada are not ours, and that California had never been thought of but for war and gold. ‘The Mississippi River makes our country nn- alterably one, from North to South. The lakes, ‘the Erie Canal, and the chain of railways, are ite physical “constitution” eastward and west- ward, And the Pacific Railroad will soon ex, tend that same potent material ‘‘ constitution” to the western coast, and make dissolution im- possible from ocean to ocean. ‘The plain reason of all this ia, that it is not in the nature of man to surrender interests so ¥} as the unobstructed use and control of these natural and art itants of the interior of the contin when they hold them by a devotes all its power and confines all its opera tions to the simple maintenance of Usion! ‘This is tho sublimely simple nature of sur na- tional structure—a single shaft, a single purpose, of massive solidity and majestic grandeur: Around it all our greatness gathers and embodies itself, and in it all our dearest interests centre. ‘The whole cahesive power and gravitation of a populous and opulent continent, presses to thie centre, and binds it like the foundations of the everlasting hills, Volcanic convulsions may rend the bowels of the mountains, and hurl red- hot feagments into the sea, but the centivent will stand, Sectional passion, pride and rapace ity will struggle in vain to break the course of rivers and to divide sea-coasts which belong to all, and are the artories of life-blood to all. The whole wil always be greater than any of ita parts, and the vital necessities of the whole must control them in spite of themselves, Faithful among the Faithless. ‘Tho arrest of Collector Mnniman of George- town, 8. C., for South Carolina treason (which meana the performance of sworn duty to tho United States) is described in paragraph from the Charleston Mercury ou our first page. It will be seen that here was a federal officer in South Carolina itself, supporting the government of the Union, transmitting information, and calling for ‘‘re-inforeements" and facilities for collecting the revenue, in the spirit of a hero, Lot South Carolina beware that a hair of that man’s head is not harmed! Tis namo is dear to the American Union, and will be remembered in high honor, if the story of his enemies be true, If bis noble and solitary fidelity were to cont him his life—while it would give immortality to his name—it would cost South Carolina, not lives enough to equal it, for all the traitors there have too few for that, but more lives than sho is prepared to spare, An act like that would seal the doom of its authors beyond a chance of par- don or pity.

The Times of yesterday makes a severe, and ‘we cannot but think, somewhat rash attack upon Captain MoGowam, of the late ill-starred expe- dition to Charleston, for not taking his command into Fort Sumter in spite of the odds; Which it describes aa “the practically harmless two-gun battery on Cummings Point,” (Morris Island,) “the stolen revenue cutter with one small swivel cannonade,” and Fort Moultrie three-quarters of ‘8 mile off at the nearest point In the passage. ‘The Times also makes the grave charge that ‘apt. McGowan had been furnished with a re, tenue flag, with orders to raise it asa signal to Fort Sumter for claiming the protection of that fort, but totally forget or neglected to use it. Weare informed by parties who were in the steamer, and intimately conversant with all the events of the expedition, that no one on board hoard of such revenue flag, and if the atatemont is true, the knowledge of it was confined to Capt, McGowan and the Timea. Our dealers in arms, ammunition and military stores, who have been doing so brisk a southern business for rome time past, will find Judge Smantxy's charge delivered yesterday on the subject of treason, very interesting. Wo trust the Grand Jury will do their duty vigorously, and promptly indict all parties whe may be found to have furnished military supplies of any kind to persons, official or private, who are in arms against the United States. It is high time this business were stopped. ‘The Heart of the People.
