"Watch and wait" Said the Raleigh Standard to see what Lincoln will do and say. This cry was adopted by the satellites that follow in its train, and when that leader who can "kill and make alive ' the freemen of this State, who can convey a title, fee simple, of all they own to Abe Lincoln and his co horts added that "any attempt upon tV,e p;irt of Lincoln to carry out his doctrine would meet with its resistance, each follower yelped "will meet with eur resistance."

EXTRA SESSION. The call for an extra session will depend entirely upon circumstances. If under the inducement o! a lort- tariff in the cotton Confederacy, imports are heavily transferred to New Orleans, our revenue would be so affected as to derange all the estimates and compel the immediate action of Congress. If the duties are collected as at present, even with the misappropriation of those i eceived at Southern ports. there would be no necessity fr an extra session But the belief obtains that a large 2ortiou vf foreign h ade mill tale the Southern direction under their low tariff, an the .Western conmimpt ion could thus be supplied a more cheaply than through 2othern porta. Congress adjourned without passing any law authorizing the President, at his discretion, to suspend or abolish ports of entry, or giving him power to collect the revenue on board ship.

No matter if the trta-on which has woven around us its toils compels a slip which no or.e wishes to take; no nutter if Rebellion seems to have advanced its banners, or if treason turns more confidently toward us its bizor, front. The policy of the Gocernment remains unc'iuuged, and its firm foot is just as imniovable as ever on the Constitution and the laws. The Wilmington Journal on the withdrawal says: So, at present, there will be no blood shed in Charleston Harbor. This, however, iinplits no re cognition of the Confederated States, nor of the right of secession, nor does it imply any abandon ment of the policy of coercion, as a policy. In war, a withdrawal of troops from an unten ible position for military reasons, is no declaration of peace. The handful of men in Sumter may be withdrawn, not frem any desire to withdraw them, nor from any I acknowledgement of the right to demand their withdrawal, nor with any pledae not to renew the "ml,t ' pr, rp- s" 1 er Kro" w:,,,t "f t,,e present physical power av.nlabk for the purpose ol carrying oat the coercive designs of the party ami section who nowr rule this country down to the South Carol in and Mississippi line. FRIGHTENED AWAY BY GHOSTS. The Crown Point find.,) Register is responsible for the following- the last ghost story : "A little souta of Crown Point probably two miles stands house that is to some a wonder. The House ) itself is nothing more than a hubl ing, say eighteen by twenty-four feet, and a story and a half high. Not nviny months sine, a moth er and daughter who occupied tae house were ta ken si k, and in a few -days die I. There wis ii"th u peculiar about th'dr d.-ath, n any one observed. Thev were buri 1. aatl the house left vacant. Soon aftr, a family moved in, and since tin n it has been oo-noied most of the timeuntil within a few weeks, when it was found impossible for a family to re id! there. For weeks they have seen minifesfa tions of a supernatural presence. Besides thc mov ing of all mavablc articles, the tinkling of glasses and the rattle of tin ware, there were freqent and stnrtbng sounds, as of whispered conversation, singing, subdued laughter all imitations of the hu man voice. These ghosts have been seen at all hours of th night. An old lady, clad in her grave clothes, has been seen to come ftom the adjoining forest, where the wind swept in tremendous gusts, ratt ing the icy branches of the trees. She inva ri .bly walks around the house ami sings a doleful tunc, until she is joined by a young female, when the two unite in a pl.-unlive song. Usually light footsteps nr. heard in the house, and at times the ghostly visitors are seen promenading thc kitchen und other rooms of the house until a late hoar ol" the night, and in some instances bavo not b It till day-light. The family became so alarmed and 'rou bled at these minifestations tint they picked up their duds and left the premises. We understand that 110 earthly consideration could induce then, to return. OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOT A MILITARY DESPOTISM. Mr. Lincoln, it seems, needs to be told of this ob vious fact; and many of his party certainly do. The question iw often asked with a pompous and blus tering air by the eoercionists, have we a govern ment worth preserving, or one invested with suffi cient power to enforce its own laws?" Tn answer t the first branch of that question it m y in truth be aid that we have no government worth preserv ing, if it can not be preserved bv other means than by an anneal to the sword and bayonet. And in I regard to the other branch of the question. Ihe I nower of the eovernment depends n circumsiances and cohtinireneies a free government derives dl its just powers from the consent of the governe 1" 'and if that consent cannot be attaine j trom the gov- . . f . 1 1 f erned. or in Uher woras, irom ine people, to eniorce the law in any given case by an appeal to arms, it cannot be done. Ho idle nud .faolish then for a few alolition sticklers for the Chicago platform, and nothing else, to talk about, enforcing the federal laws, under ex'st ing circumstances, bi seeding .States, hr the -.ie of the military and naval" power of the government, when the en ire South una thri-e- fifihs f the North, at least, are utterl;' opposed to any sujh course.

The unsettled condition of this 'government is rap idly revealing the cstiin.ue which has been h- relo Ibre and is now laid upi n the cotton growtlj ol this country by England. Uei many, and i-i short, nevrly the wholtf civilized ww M. The dissolution of the Southern or .lanufactt-.ring hUtes of this country is nV .a.iy a Kul.jcci of jri thougni with us out it is also a prolific Ui me r,f discussion vith the leading jouiualK and men, as well as with the main branchus of government cf foreign powers. It has conclusively shown us that the cotton o; the Southern .States bears heavier in tiie political balan. es of the world than any other arii ae of agi icuii urai or manufacturing produce in the vast extent of this whole country. Notwi.hstan i. g all tins wc are told by neighbor ing States, who are religiously winked at by foreign powers, ih tblaveryv the wuoie ma.-hine anci m..chiu ery by whieh our coto.n is grown ami prepared for tiie in .nui'acturcr's mi Is, is a crime unu a curse. We do not design to enier into an argument upon Slavery at this time our people already underj-tand the subject :.s Wi 11 and as through as we do we merely make tais allu.-ion to show the inconsisten cy auu iguor..nee ol'thoiic wo nie iringidoud for oar coit'in, at the --an.e time demanding that we give up the means h j which we aie cnab.ed to sup ply their wants. One thing is certain, thut if the South be deprived of elave labor the woi Id will b deprived of its oitun and its cotton fabrics tha greatest a6ii.:ultur;.l tour. try the territory of the richet soil upon the fate f the e..iih would run to . and the Southern Stales in a few 3eais return to a howling wii-.lernesii of dense, deep lortbts. Ed.-ecui)ibe I'arm Journal' The Montgomery Alabama, Post, has the following : " To reconstructionists we have only this to sar, build auy kind of political edifice you pie se lay-it-; foundations up n the ccutre rock of thc earth mtike itrf wall.-, of adamant and ruar its dome to the clouds, and yet if you mhahit n with the siane pol itical families that have occupied the old .Mansion seism wili originate ; .-trite will bo endangered ; jealously will be cultivate 1, and eventually the whole edifice will be baptised w.th fiatemal blood. U'c iiave thought inui ii upon this sui ji ct, and have re frained from the expression of an ' mion, le.-t it might be unaovi.-ed and premature but alter mature re flection in view of existing causes and surrounding c:rcnuist.i:ices, our honest conic ion is that our only safety for the present consists in separation from tne North, and that our only nccuiity for the future, is hi miking that separation final and ter petual. Gov. Foote's Pkhdiction. On the 20th of Feb ruary Gov. Footc who was an unsuccessful seces sion c-and d-ite for the Convention in Tennessee', wrote as follows ; " I perfectly agree with Col. Clernns in believing mat one 01 ine most sig ;ii rea-iiius m pruiic senti ments whfch has occ;iir-d, will in a few weeks mark the hist ry of Tennessee ; and I warn the exultant demagogues of the hour ihat the solemn day of re tribution is ccn now almost at band ! !

Give the Northeon party lull vi t ry. and bow can they use it? Do tht"3' propose an3' mensurcs of resistance ? Noth in that w e tiave heard of. - If ihey w in, then vic tory will convict them of submission to Blacl.
