^ Just Now.?Ay, just now t if any
thing is 10 be accomplished in this com
inon everyday world of oitra, it must b<
attempted just now ; for, what havo w.
to do with to-inorrow f?to inorrow be
longs to eternity, and we are but th<
subjects of* to day. It is true that w<
must work for futurity ; but '.ben w
must start it to day. Providence onl;
can takeeare of results, not we. If mai
wishes to live usefully, be must live b
moments : if be would enjoy life, he tout
try for it now. If happiness be his aim
his eager pursuit, why, then, ftofr it I
that be must seek it ; for to morrow hs
nothing to give.
Important from Springfield.
View# of Mr. Lincoln's Organ on So'
cession.?Springfield, III., December 20.
I ?Tlie Springfield Journal of to day has
a startling leader on secession, which,
) from the peculiar relations of the paper
to the President elect, has great signifi'
en nee.
It says that "South Carolina cannot
' dissolve the Union by the simple passage
of resolutions or other passive demonstraI
lions. Her Federal ofiiceta may lesign,
and she may c oie her courts and post
oftices, l>ni sbo cannot get out of this
Union until alie conquers this Governi
ment. While this Government emitters
' thore can be no diauuion. If South Caro
| lina does not obstruct the collection of
1 the revenues at her ports, nor violate any
r other Federal law, there will he no trorn
I I hie, and she will not he out of tho Union.
If she violates the law, then comes the
I tug of war. The President of the Uui|
led Stales, in such an emergency, has a
, plain duty to perform. Mr. Uuchauan
may shirk it, or the emergency may not
exist during his suministration. If not,
then the Union will last during his term
of otlice.
' | "If the overt act on the part of South
Carolina takes place on or before the 4th
( of March, 1801, then the duty of execu?
ting the laws will devolve upon Mr. Lin,
coin. The laws of the United States
must he executed. The President has no
, discretionary power on the suhjeot. His
duty is emphatically pronounced in the
Constitution, Mr. Lincoln will perform
that duty. Disunion by armed force is
treason, and treason will he put down at
all hazards."
Thurlow Weed arrived at Springfield
ll.- in.I. 1 - 1 **
.... inc it/in, mm was cioseieu wiui Mr.
Lincoln for several hours. It is rumored
that Mr. Lincoln did not entirely ap>
prove WeedV proggramme, but insisted
on several important modifications, a*
mong which waa that relative Ic the recognition
of slavery in th^ieriitories.?
He L also reported as repudiating geographical
lines of division. The progr
ramrue, as modified, will be taken to
Washington by Weed and submitted to
the Republican leaders.
