In the first placo, I wrist say that I think our Statesmen havo don? their whole duty thus far. First, in trying to insure our rights in thc Union ; secondly, in.withdrawing from a Union in which this could no longer bc done j rlhiidly, in sustuiiiiiMu^'^Vreo of arms the dwight of sci I-gov tvo m cfit' " flint has been denied by those who bad nut tho right of denial. flJho Constitution of thc United States was ? .gVnwn up by our forefathers after u long and .bloody snuggle for Independence, with the trope that their posterity might dwell under i? protective and defensivo laws in pence and1 '^?osjierit^ through niniiy'successir? ngos.

Tho party spirit at thc * North hud gained such ascendancy, und they bad so long and so wallton ly rolled the iron yrpoel of oppression over us, that they had at hat como io thc determination to crush our v?j^y existence, beneath the magnitude of its ?Itiighty sway. Thc question with us now is, can it bo done? I, for one. nm roa dy to an swer thal it cannot (unless-it has bo.cn prede termined hy Omnipotent power), while we qnn boast of so many patriotic hearts that are ?ling to leave nil that is dear to them and -Mwot thc ouctny on the. threshold of his own ?arar, and drive him back from our soil as soon i Jt?fi. ho degrueh'S it willi bi? devastating filet '^sfo.ps.

Seward then, lt will bc seen, at this day, how completely it. has been curried out by this arch traitor, who is one of the ebie!' instru ments in ibo destruction ot thc lato Confed eracy. According to thc JIcrul<tt speaking I moro that) two years ugo, wc sec what was his deliberate design. Wo itulicise certain pas sages' lor thc special benefit of such us may bo lukewarm in tho Southern States. We note herc the delib?rate admissions and thc bold avowals of un enemy j und with this j aloUO wc muy answer those miserable whining I complaints of Unionists, North und South, who reproach the Southern people with pre cipitutiou. Had they waited three months longer, thc iron collar would have bceu about thc throats of every Southern State and peo ple, or thc bulcher at their doors.-Mcnutt/. [From thc New York Herald.] Thc political issue which is to bc submitted I to the people of this State to-morrow has ! been boldly und brutally stilted by William j H. Seward to be. " whether the cotton and rice bolds of South Carolina r.nd thc sugar plantations of Lousia na shall ultimately be j tdbd by free lalor, and Chariest on and New j Orleans become marts for legitimate mer j chnndi/o alone, or whether the rye and wheat \ fields of Massachusetts and New York shall j be ng1*v* surrendered by their farmers to slave culture und to thc production of slaves, and j Boston and New York become once more markets for trude in the bodies ; nd seuls ol men." . lt was for the purpose of springing thu iD8.1110 issue upon thc pcoplo of New York ; that Thurlow Weed refused, ut Syracuse,?h ' take a teat in the back carot' thc eppositioi , train, and that thc true features ol thc can ? vuss in favor of Morgun fur Oovernor wert J kept buck until the speech of Seward, ut Ko j chester, a few days since. Thc issue is nit fully stated in the quotation WO lui VC gi Vc I j above, so as to make tt appear that a great ' cbutCSt is going on between the social iusti lotions of thc North and the South, in wliicl one must eventually triumph, to thc utter de j Btruclion of thc other. This assumption, si I fur ns regards any effort on tho part of tin ! South to take possession of thc rye and whea J bolds of New England and ibis State, and o ; tho markets of D?ston and New York, am , lill theta with slaves, is pure nonsense am ! icily. No man knows this better lhan Wm ; ll. Sewaid. No mun knows latter than In that the most active scene of lifo and ex pa n sion in this country is in thc Northern Statis j lb-sides thc evidences which ure evrrywher ! exhibited in thc North ol material prosperity I und increase of population und social powet it is thc North that barbers thc aggressiv spirit which characterizes the country. I was the. North that was ready to light li) Aroostook and the Northeastern boundary that endeavored to stir up the Canadian re hellion and sted those provinces from th British crown; that has extended its gras lover I h rec-lott Iths of thc productive h.nd c j thc '.I ci literies ; that run six lighting mc into Kansas to one from thc South ; that sen I 'tis l.li Thayc.s into Virginia to drive th niggers southward j and it is thc Nott winch now wishes to get up this ra/.?ia on th South, and Wm. II. Seward who wishes I lead it. Thc true issue, then, which he presentst tho voters of New York, and in favor i which every vote cist to morrow foi- Molga will bc claimed, is involved, in the fust pat of his proposition, Will New York pr< claim that " the cotton and rico fields i South Carolina and the sugar plantations t Louisiana shall bc tilled by tree labor alono? This is thc issue, ns Mr. Seward puts it j an it carries a brutal ami bloody moaning. ] involves a'total destruction of all Ox is tin things in thc Southern States. Thc bom of society must bc swept uwny. .An inlet ic and brutal race must bc admitted to sooii ned political equality with the superior rac or it must be driven out. Thc cotton, tobm i co, sugar and rice, that now form so large I portion m our commercial e xchanges, mu j cease to bc produced. The scenes that ha\ marked thc sume policy in llayti, dan.aie and many portions of Spanish Amelie must bc reproduced hi thc southern port io. of this Union. Tho fields must be tunic into barren wastes, or allowed to be. overru by'tho forest; the springs of commerce ebie up, industry everywhere destroyed, od neat it neglected, churches and schools allowed tall into decay, tho rite of marriage and tl observanco of family t'es abandoned, and savage barbarism installed wlicre peace, o der and social progress now rule. This is no imaginary picture. Its renlil muy bc scon in everyone of the intertropic Countries of America where thc inferior ra? bas been released from the control ami gu dance of tho superior. Tho islands of tl West Indies und thc shores of Mexico ai tho Spanish ?Main present a reality far mo terrible than the picture wc have drawn. An occasional island, like Barbadoes, crowd, with negroes to siurvnlhm point, who ho each other in check under white organizatii and rule, is no logical exception. And he is this brutal programme lo 'm curried ot when thi) constitution guarantees the right self government to every St t.! o ? A vote two-thirds of tho States cnn change tho Co stitution, says.Soward. And so, in order cany it out, tho Constitution ts tv be arno dod, and tho South is to bc .deprived of tl right of sclf-govorumcnt. This is tho truonim of Seward and hisu scrupulous followers, and to-morrow tho \o of tho free mon of Now.?-York is to bo tab on that question. Tho porsoftal onalifioatio er disqualifications of tho cundidatcs hit . * f nothing to do with it. lt behooves every j hint) ill the commercial metropolis of this ; ! groat Union, and in the Km pi re State of New I I York, to look well whore such doctrines ns j I Seward has enunciated at Rochester will lead him in the cud. livery merchant, every . manufacturer, every mechanic, every laborer, is deeply and personally interested in thc . question. A cl oil these active classes of so- I cicty hung ali the others, and the value of our lands, our railroads, our ships, and every thing tliat wc possess. Let them look to it, . then. Kvcry vote in favor ef Morgan is n I vole in favor of carrying sword and tire into ' thc South. Wo ask every man the question : Arc you prepared to vote for a civil war throughout the length and breadth of this fair land? '1 hat is what yon will vote fer if you vote for Morgan. Thc Despotism in Baltimore Our readers are already aware that the ' Marshal of Police in Baltimore, Mr. Kane, ? has been arrested by lion. Banks;, and im prisoned in Fort Mcllcnry. Thc police ! board of the city have passed strong condom ; natory resolutions, and have temporarily dis ! banded tho police ef the city. Bunks has I appointed a military Officer provost marshal ! ol the city. j The Baltimore Exchange of last Friday says : J "Thc crowning outrage of the military despotism which now" usurps the functions of a once free republic was perpetrated yestcr 1 day. Tho '27th of June will henceforth be ? rwurou.bcrcd as the blackest day in thc au i. na Is oftho history of Maryland. In thc 1 dead of night an armed baud entered our city ! and arrested Marshal Kane. At an early i hour in tho day the police hoard was Sliper ! seded. Under these circumstances tho j board had but ono thing to do. They could j net stifler themselves or the police force to be ( m ade responsible for Major John ll. Konly's , proceedings, nor lo be compromised by any ? connection with thc individuals to whom i (.louerai Banks had confided the chief diree I lion of our municipal lilla i r.s. Deprived ol al' authority, the board could not, consistent ly with its self-respect or duty, appear to countenance the acts of the usurping power. lt therefore temporarily dismissed the police from further duly, ami ordered the men lu take oil' their uniforms. Tho rule of the clubs of other days will now be re-establish ed. We give below a mere detailed account ol' the events. The circumstances of the arrest wore as : follows : " Between l\vo and three o'clock yesterday ; morning, about lliUU military, consisting ol portions of lin' New York and Pennsylvania regiments, marched into the city and pro ceeded up Charles street to Mount Yt I not] Ph ce. llcrc they divided into two columns, one of which marched directly down to St. Paul street, while the other proceeded tc i Madison street, down which they turned.

'1 he door bell waa then rung. Col. Kane answered from one of the ttppoi windows.

He was yesterday allowed l communicate with his family by loiter. ()i tho march from the Federal Hill camp lo th dwelling of tho colonel, all police oliicci ?iud other persons met on the streets wer placed, under arrest, and forced to accompany thc military. The same caution was takei on the return march, and it was tilde who tho military had got beyond the limits of th city, cn route for Port Mcllcnry, that th police and citizens were released. With th dawn of the morning (he news began to eil eula lc through tue city, and-at a very earl hour crowds collected in front of the office ol' tho leading newspapers."
