In reply to this a coutcuiporaiy v-ry per i.iendy asks, " if the Standard did not iaiu lain the doctrine as practiced by the cotton States, ' what sort of doctrine of, secession it that'll did maintain ? To this of course the Standard has not ventured to reply, for it is not easy to conceive of more deu two kinds of secession, w u: peaceaoie secession, aud secession with' war as a consequence, The ccftton States, as is well known, always conten Jed for the right ef peaceable secession; add we think the Standard will hardly pre tend that it went for' the other sort of aecea- ion.

These were Uie mat ters referred to that joint committee, and on then the Standard dwelt at leaxth. ' It said tliat the Deople should "assert aid maintain their righu, and that their Kepresentau'ves should . dedan tchai ihote rykt tare. And tLe Stahdarfjjroceeded to declare them for that hod?. The following is the close and material part W its long anicie: " We have heard the idea recently express ed that a State has ne right to secede trom the Union that there is no help from op pression except by revolution ; in other words that the States are the creatures and depen dents of . the Federal Government, and of Course subject to its physical coercion. , bucb assumption, we humbly submit, is unsup- ported by testimooT denved from the Con- aututioo itself, or irom any single circum stance attending its foroation or adojHioo. It is, moreover, at war with all regular ideas ot free rt'pubhcaa government, and of tlte undoubted independence of the States, as tfat indepeadenoe has been practically dis puted in their separata organizations mace 1787. We hold that as no State could orig inally have bem forced into the Union, none can be forced to eenuia in, or rattier be pre tvuted trow going oat Heaven forbid that i.oh an extreme resort should be presented i '. us as the only alternative against aggres ;wts upon our rights 1 W trust it may not, tut the bare possibility oi the contingency scould nerve our public men to look tite dan gT boldly in tlte lace. Let them declare that while we acquiesce in the late action of Coo gresson the slavery question. We are at the "mme time determined that -agiutiou sliail c-'ase, bikI that die fugitive slave law shall bo rHiforoed m its letter and spirit, ami thai if ie free States do not yield to this, our rea sonable and Constitutional request, we will icave them and leave them forever. " This is no time to dispute about terms. If gentlemen do not like the word itctde, and i we cannot consent to use lite word revolu tion, let dissolution be the substitute for either or both. The people understand that, and ihey will demand it if the fugitive slave law be repealed, or if these wicked assaults upon lite rights of the slave States be continued in u.'j halls of the common Congress."

And it was that very " right to secede for cause" which the Cotton States exercised in 1860. The "cause" which tbey assigned (an insufficient one tLw-'lit for destroying the Union,) was the 4tion of a Black Republican sectional ticket to the chief office of the Union. It was the identi-H cal cause repeatedly assigned by the Stand ard as sufficient lojusliiy to tiuikc oecea- ry tneir exercise ot the right ol secession. W e do not think die blandard will liave tlte hardihood to deney this. But if it be denied why we have before us another search thro its tiles in 18o(i when Fremont and Dayton were candidates. We' have made diese extracts fnjin die Standard's more caustions Jeadinj; articles tbey were written wLen SecessiouiM.s and se cession were under a cloud, its advocates having been forced by die people to " acqui esce" (such was the cant language of that day and used by the Staodard itself above) in die Compromise' measures of 1850. We have not takeu a single extract from die more vio lent and unguarded declarations of the Stand ard in the hot political camjwiris between 1WJ and lobO, in which it wat t!e le.hn spirit of die secession party of orth Caroli na, and denounced as unsound or traitorous every distinguished man oi the old wing and anti-seceatiou party. We think .we 'have given the uiformatioii desired iy our cocre. poodeut and established our own opinion that " the Standard had educated the nvunle in the doctrine of secession." But it' any one cover the feelings and hear thttseuliinenis of soldiers in rerd to this and other subjects of public interest, ami we therefore know what we say when w declare dtat much, very much dends on the rigid execution of the anU-subsiitite law recently passed by "CoirgTiPH aS t wlial will tie the moral con dition of the army in the Spring.
