The committee appointed on Saturday night by

port upon the best mode to -'secure harmony and

that the South has already yielded too much.
The measure may have tbe intended effect lo in

of them to go for the Senate bill, with tome very

The movement is to be censidered aa a peace

party intact. Mr. Stephens is on tbe same polit
ical ground with Mr. Toombs, and it is known
that the latter Ins used his influence to prevent a
breach between the party and Mr. Douglas.
Something favorable to the interest of the coun
try will grow out of this attempt at conciliation.
At matters have stood lor a wtelc past, there has
been no certainty that the House would bring the
question to an issue in anyway, nor neither the
Senate bill nor the Crittenden bill nor any other

6KMKRAL CIHEROK A.ND LECOMPTON.
Tbe editor of the Sunbnry Gazette, like the
old woman who looked through the wrong
end of tbe.telescope, is eternally making some
marvellous and wonderful discoveries. One
of the last of these is that General Cameron
did not vote on tbe Lecompton Constitution,
and has, therefore, grown cool on the subject'
and that we "will feel it our duty to chill
also." Without pretending to know what
tbe present feelings of General Cameron are,
we bave only to say if they are half as cool
us the impudent assurance of the Gazette, we
would not be surprised to find bim Toting
even for Lecompton.
In regard to our own feelings being chilled
perhaps tbe best answer to the Gazette woold
be to refer the in to tbe editorial correspon
dence in the last "American," on tbe subject
of the Lecompton Swindle. When Qenerej
Cameron votes or favors the Lecompton Con
stitution, we shall expect to find consistency
and independence in tbe Gazette, and some
sign of fixed principles in its editor, a contin.
gency about at probable as the ascension of
tbe Millerites. The editor of the Gazette has
been so long nnder leading strings, that be
would hardly know bow to appreciate inde
pendence of thought or action if he were even
unharnessed and unbridled by those who con
trol bis movements, ilence be as naturally
looks up to a "boss," as a nursling does to
its mother, and childlike, imagines that all
others do the same.
General Cameron paired off with a sick
friend which save the necessity of Lis appear
ing in tbe Senate Chamber and which doe
not alter the result.

Jomm' IloTtu Philadelphia, 1
March 30, 1858. . J
In looking over the last Sunbnry Gazette,
I perceived that the editor hat taken excep
tions to oor "Impressions" of the Lecotnptoa
Convention at Harrisbnrg, for It cannot, with
propriety, be called anything else, flaring
been at New York last week, and therefore
not able to reply, I will briefly notice a few of
his"very peculiar Impressions." We certain
ly did not expect that Mr. Youngman't views
woald coincide with oor own on this subject,
at leaat for any length of time, althongh in
December last, Mr Yonngmnn entertained
views very similar to onr own, on the Le
compton question, and did not hesitate to ex
press himself in favor of Mr. Douglass coarse
lo his speech on this subject. It was not
long, however, nntil one of those peculiar
changes, to which tbe Gazette has always
been subject, was visible in Its transition
from its opposition to its final support of the
Lecompton Swindle. What had induced this
sadden change, it is not for ns to say, bnt the
Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch whose corres
pondent at Ilarritbarg, had taken paint to
gather the causes of the sudden conversions
of the nomeroue anxious members of that con
vention, found that oo less than about sixty
or about one half, were either applicants for
office, or expectants, or office holders.
Among those tbe delegate from Nortbotnber.
land county was pnt down as an applicant for
one of the numerous inspectors of the Custom
House in Philadelphia. Whether this had
anything to do with this change, we.shall not
undertake to determine.
Perhaps there was not a sane man in that
convention, who seriously believed that it was
a fair representation of the people. The Pre
sident, Mr. Dawsun himself, declared verbal-
nd in writing his opposition to tbe Le
compton Constitution not three weeks previ
ous, but tbe Gazette not only exenses bim for
this desertion of bis principles, but contends
that he was right in depriving tbe minority in
having a voice on the committee, and that,
too, after having given pledget to some of
the members in the minority, who voted for
him, that he would appoint a proportional
nnmber on this committee. The idea that a
minority is not to have a voice, or to be beard
in a Convention, because it is small, is cer
tainly rich and original, if not democratic.
Tbe editor of the Gczette has also underta
ken the forlorn hope of opposing tbe Sale of
the State Canals to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad Company. He may well say that
it seems hard that be should oppose tbe in.
tereets of that great work. With tbe excep.
tion of tbe Supervisors, Collectors, Weigh
masters, Mud-bosses and other Canal officials.
there are not perhaj s a dozen men in tbe
county who do not feel that the sooner tbe
State gets clear of tbe canals and shakes off
the leeches that fatten oo the poblic plunder,
the better it will be for the poople.
It is, however, not more than right that
this little squad of a minority should be beard
and tbe Gazette is, perhaps, entitled to some
credit for standing by them in tbe hoar of
their affliction, when the voice of the people
was raised against tbem. Dad the Gazette
published the Report of tbe majority, which
was signed by eight of the nine members that
composed the Committee, its readers might
have seen by whom, and for what purpose
this wbite-washing report was got up. But
here the editor is again inconsistent. He
contends that in the Harrisbnrg Lecompton
Convention the minority had no right to be
beard, but iu tbe Sunbury and Erie matter,
be contends that tbe one, oat of the nine
members of the Committee should overrule
the others, and that tbe interests of the mud
bosses, and tbe canal officials, should be pro
tected at the expense of the people. The re.
cords show that the canals bave been a dead
Iars, and that tbe State would bave saved
money by giving them away twenty ago.
One of the temarkable features of the
times are tbe prayer meetiugs and religious
gatherings throughout tbe cities. .These
meetings are held not only in tbe cbnrches
but in the most public places each as Thea
tres, Concert-rooms ic. While in New York
I went into the John's Street Cburcb. Tbe
crowd was great, but at Burtons Theatre,
where Henry Ward Beecber was announced.
tbe building was packed full inside and out
long before the hour appointed. The meet
ings in the city of New Yoik are estimated
at twenty-three, and the aggregate number
of persons attending is CI 10. Of these 1205
are at Burton's Theatre, which is a union
meeting; 1850 at tbe Methodist Episcopal
churches ; 825 at the Dutch Reformed ; 610
at the Baptist, 325 at tbe Prosbyteriau, and
the remainder Union, Youug Men's Christian
Association, Congregational and Mariners.
This is in the city proper, and does not in
clude Brooklyn and tbe suburbs.
After the Theatre, by far the largest gtth
erings are at tbe John street and the Allen
street Methodist churches. Of the me etings
at tbe John Street Cbepal, tbe Baptist Ex.
amiuer says :
We dropped in at noon, and enjoyed the
pleasure oi peannj; a lew simple, earnest, fer
vent remarks from tbe converted pugilist,
Gardner. He made aa unaffected reierence
to bia own recent experience of converting
grace, which has so suddenly transported him.
while riding in a wagon, from tbe horrors of
conviction to a blitslul view or Jesus, tbstbe
instaully cried out "Hallelujah 1" in a tooe so
loud as to ingiiten bis borse. and nearly to
have produced a disaster. Said be, "Yes, I
shouted hallelujah, then. I sbout hallelujah
now I 1 expect to die shouting hallelujah
ana oy uoa s grace j. nope to shoot ballela
jab to all eternity."
Tbe Baptist Examiner makes the following
estimate of conversions duriug tbe present
revival :
Oar revival summary for three weeks nast,
though Imperfect, of necessity, shows a great
advance. Over seventeen thousand conver
sions are therein specified i and tbe inaslber
ing on probation aud otherwise, reported in
our Me'.bodist exchange doruiE tbe same
period amounts, by our own ceutit, to over
twenty tnoasaoa pjore.
Another paper giving an account of tbe
meetings at Burton's Theatre, says l
There were fully three thousand persons at
Burton's Theatre, thit afternoon. Rev. Dr.
Sutherland, of the Presbyterian Church, tent
in a reqaett for tbe prayert on behalf of tbe
nennle of Watbinston. Fravera were like-
wise solicited for an old physician, who bad
spent his life in curing bodiee, but now wan
ted a cure for bis own tool. A father asked
a prayer for a boy, 16 yeara of age, who was
represented at a bard case. i
In Philadelphia these meetings are else
UU daily. At Je;ou Bell tnatt I, svtrj

sons gathered In that splendid concert room.

d "Sartaroe" and Washington Ikvino
A card from Messrs. T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, in reference to Washington Irving'
endorsement and recommendation of "Sana
roe," the new novel by J. A. Maitland, de
serves tbe attention of tbe reading world.
A most injurious charge has been made by
a New York publishing house nothing lees.
than that the letter signed "Washington Ir,
ving," in which "Sartaroe" i praised a the
best novel issued from tbe American press
for some years past,' is a forgery. This very
serious charge is a complete surprise to tbe
publishers of "Sartaroe," and tbey very pro.
perly present the facts of the case before the
public. It appears that Messrs. Fetridge Si
Co., of New York, originally undertook to
publish tbe book, end issued a circular an
nooncing it some months ago, which circular
contaioed tbe letter referred to from Mr. Ir
ving. Tbey retiring, they offered to sell the
work to Peterson Jc Brothers, and aa it was
accompanied by this letter which contaioed
also a sentence authorizing tbem to use it
publicly, they purchased it. Tbe original let
ter is in tbeir possession, and its bears all tbe
marks of authenticity. Indeed, persons fa.
miliar with Mr. Irving' handwriting say they
have no doubt of it genuiueness. If it was
not really written by bim, it is neither the
fault of Fetridge Sc Co., who brought the
manuscript of tbe book, nor Messrs. Peter
son & Brothers, who bought it from tbem end
published it. Tbe book is now ready and can
be bad by addressing Peterson k Bros., 306

be wrongly interpreted. In view of tbe trea

the leader and tbe greater portion or the Mor

ot tbe existing difliculties on any other basis
would nugatory. Tbeir threat to oppose tbe
march of tbo troops in the spring will not
