V J®* The plan of adjustment adopted by the Peace Conference lately in session in Washington, yras brought before the'U S. Senate at its. last session on Monday , morning last, and was vdted down by the decisive vote of 7 yeas to 28 nays. The plan of adjustment agreed upon by the Committee of 33, with Corwin’s amend ment, which we publish in another col umn, was adopted by a vote of 24 yeas to 12 nayi. The vote on the Crittenden res olutions was 10 yeas to ,20 nays.' From the summary manner in which the Senate disposed of the Peace Conference proposi tion, we infer that the effort of that body at Union-saving was not of much avail. Presuming that! our readers are more anxious to see and read the Inaugu ral of President Lincoln than.'any thing else we-could give them, wc have publish ed it entire this week. TheCffcctof that document will he' immediate and -impor .taut, and therefore all should read- it care fully.

Of-Vottrae there are ultra men in all parties - 'who. will be dis aa^afied—some heeausc it does favor co-eroion, and others because it does not - ,give up everything to the South.

Ido not consider it necessary, at present, for me to disease those matters of administration about which there is no special anxiety or excitement. Appre hension seems to exist among/ the people of the Southern States that, by the accession of a Re publican administration, their property and their peacennd persmal security are to be endangered. There never fans been any ..reason or cause for such apprehension- Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all .the while exis ted, and been open to their- inspection. It is found in nearly all tba 'published speeches of him who now addresses you., Ido hut .quote from oue of those speeches I declare to you that I have he purpose, directly or indirect ly, to,interfere'with the. -institution of slavery in the States where it exists. 1 believe 1 have ho lawful right to do so, and I have no inclina- tion to do so. Those who nominated and elec ted me did so with the full knowledge that I bad made this and .many similar declarations. and had never recanted them; and more than this, they placed in the platform for my tecep-. tance, as a law to themselves and to me, the clehr and -emphatic resolution which 1 now read: '* Resolved, That the maintenace, inviolate, of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judg ment, exclusively, is essential, to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric and we denounce the lawless invasion by ah'armed force of the I soli of any State or Territory, no 1 matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes." 1 now reiterate these sentiments, and in doing so, I only press upon the 'public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible, that the property, peace and secu rity of no section.are to be in any-wise endan gered by the incoming administration. 1 add too that all the protection which, consistently with the Constitution and the Laws, can he giv en, will be cheerfully given to all the States when lawfully demanded, for whatever cause',? as cheerfully to one section as to another.—■ There is much controversy about the delivering of fugitives from service or labor. The clause I now read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions; “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in conse quence of any law or regulations therein,, be discharged from snob service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due." It lie scarce ly questioned that this provision was intended by those who made it, for the reclaiming,of what we cull fugitive sieves, ai:d the intention of the law giver is the lawl All members of Congress swear their support to tht? whole Constitution, to this provision, as much as £o any other. To the proposition then, that slaved whose cases come Within the terms of this clause, £nd "shall be delivered up,” their oaths are unanimous. — Now, if they would make the effort in got;d ' teifaper, could they not, with nearly equal una nimity, frame and pass a law, by means of which to keep good that unanimous oath? There is some difference of opinion whether this clause shouid be'enforced, by national or State author ity, .but surely that difference is not a very ma terial one,' if the slave is to be surrendered, it can be of but little consequence to him or to others by which authority it is done, and should any one, in any case, be • content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial con troversy os to how it shall be kept ? Again, in any law apqh this subject,. ought not all the sateguards of liberty known in civilized and huthaue jurisprudence fofhe introduced, so that a freeman may not be in '-any case surrendered as a slave. And might it not be well at the same lime, to provide by law for the enforce ment of that clause in the Constitution which guarantees that “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.” I take the of ficial oath to-day, with no mental reservation and with no purpose to construe the Constitu tion or laws by any hypocritical rules, ahd.wbile Ido not choose now to specify particular acts to Congress as proper' to be enforced, Ido sug gest that it will be much safer for all iifof ttcial and private stations, to conform td.and abide by. all than to violate any of tbem, to find im punity in having them held to heunconstitu tional. ‘ r ‘ ‘. " ' It-is scarcely 72 years since the first inaugu ration of a President under our national Consti tution. During that period fifteen differential greatly distiugukbed citizens have in succession administered the executive branch cf the Gov ernment,, They ‘ have ..conducted through many perils, and geuefall^'with' great success; yet w\th all this podpe for Iter upon the same task for Sal term of four years,, under. grekt andlpe »r difficulties. A disruption of the FMeral Union, heretofore only menacpd.is now. fbfmid ably attempted. I hold that in contemplation of the universal law'and of the Constitiition’, the Union of these State Sis perpetual. Perpeiu ’ ity is implied. ifnot expressed, in the fundamen tal lap of all national governments. It Is safe to assert that government proper has never had a provision in its organic law for its own term!-, nation. It shall continue to execute all the ex press provisions of oar National Constitution, and the'Unibn will .endure forever, it being im possible ,to destroy it, .except by some action' not provided for in toe instrdment itself. Again, if the United States be not.a Government proper, but au association pf States in the nature of a contract merely; can it be peaceably unmade by less than all the hurtles -who made It ? One pprtyto a contract may violate it or break it, So to speak, but does-it not require all to law- semd it ? Descending from these general principles, we find tfae proposition that in a le gal contemplation of the case* the' Upion is. per petually confirmed bythe history of the Union itself. The Union is much older than the Con stitution. It was formed, in part, by the arti cles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continuedby the Declaration of indepen dence In the year 1776. It was farther matur ed, and the faith of hU the then thirteen States, expressly plighted nod engaged that it should be perpetual by the articles of Confederation in J 778, and finally in 1789. One .of the'declared objects for ordaining and eatahUsbing the con etitution was "to. form a more perfect union; bat ifthe destruction of the Union' by one or by a part only of the States, be lawfullyposrible, the Union is less than before the Constitution having lost the vital element of of perpetuity. It fol lows from 'these views'that no State upon its own mere motion pan lawfully get out of the Union, that resolves' and ordinances to that effect are legally void, and that acts of violence within any States or State against the au thority of the United States are insurrectionary .or revolutionary according to circumstances. I .therefore consider that, in view of the Con stitution and laws, the Union is unbroken, and to the extent of my ability I'shall take care, as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins on me, that the laws of the Union be faithfully execu ted in all the States. Doing this I deem to be only a simple duty on my; part, and 1 shall per form it so far as praoticale, unless my rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite means, or in some authoritative manner direct - the contrary. I trust this will not be considered as a menace, but only as the declared purpose of the Union thatit wiII-oop stitntionally defend and maintain itself. In doing this there need be no bloodshed Or vio lence, and tlwre shafli none - unless it be forced upon the national authority. The power copfided turns will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property add places belonging to the Government, and to collect duties onimports; bat beyond what may |be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion, no' using of force against or among the people anywhere.: Where hostility to the United States, In any In terior locality, shall be so great, and so tpaivor sal, as to prevent competent resident citixens from bolding federal offices, thdre will be no attempt to force obnoxious strangers among the people for that object while the strict legal right may exist in the government to enforce the exer cise of those offices. The attempts to dosowould be so irritating, and ho nearly impracticable with all, that I deem it better to forego for some time the use of such offices. unless repelled,' will continue to be furnished in all parts of the Union, so far as possible The people everywhere shall have that sense of per fect security which most follow favorable and calm thought and reflection on the part of Gov ernment; can give them. The course here indi cated will be followed, unless current events and experience shall show a modification or change to be proper, and in every case and exi gency my discretion will be exercised according to circumstances actually existing, and with a view and a hope of a peaceful solution of the national troubles, and the restoration of the fraternal sympathies, and affections. That there are persons in one section or another who 'seek to destroy the Union at all events, apd glad of any pretext to do it I will neither af firm nor deny; but, if there bo such, I need address no words to them. To those, however, who really love the Union, may I not speak, before entering upon iso grave a matter as the destruction of our National, fabric, with all its benefits, its memories and hopes. Would it not. be 'wise to ascertain previously why we do so ? Will you hazard so desperate S step tv bile there is any possibility that any portion -of the i|ls you fly from have noreal existence ? Will you, while the certain ills you fly .to are greater than all the unreal ones you fly from ? Will yoii.risk the 1 commission of so fearful a mistake. All profess to be content in the Union if ajl con- stitutional rights can be maintained. Is it true, then, that any right; plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied? ,1 think not.— Happily the human mind is so constituted that no party can reach to the audacity of doing this. Think, ifyou can, of a single instance in which a plainly written provision of the consti tution has ever been denied. If, by the mere force of numbers, a majority shall deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional light, it might, in a moral point of view, justify a revolution—'it certainly would if such right were a vital but such is not oar case. All the vital rights of minorities and of in dividuals are so plainly assured to them by af firmations and negations, guarantees and prohibitions in the Constitution, that contro versies nev.er arise concerning them. But no organic law can be framed with a provision specifically applicable to every question which may occur in, the administration. No foresight can anticipate, nor any document of reasonable length contain express provisions for all possible questions. Shall fugitives from la bor be surrendered by national or State author- ity* ? The Constitution aloes sot expressly say. May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territo ries ? I'C.e Constitution does not expressly say Must Congress protect slavery in the Territo ries ? The Constitution does not expressly say. From questions of this class spring all our con stitutional <mntrovcrsies, we divide upon them into 'majorities; and minorities. If the minority will not acquiesce the majority roust, or tpe Government must cease. Then? * 9 n 0 other alternative for continuing the Govern- meot bat acquiescent on the ,one siJe or the other. If a minority in such case aril) secede rather than acquiesce, they make a precedent wliioh in tarn will divide and ruin them, for a minority of their own will secede from them whenever a majority refuses to be controlled by sucbi'.a minority. For instance; why may not any portion of a hew Confederacy a year or two hence arbitrarily secede again precisely as portions of the present Union now claim to secede from it ?'— All who cherish disunion sentiments are now be ing educated to the exact temper of doing this Is there snch perfect identity of interests among the States to Compose a new Union ns to produce barinony pnjy and prevent renewed se cession? plainly, the central idea of secession is the essence of anahcby. A majority seld in restraint by constitutiobal checks and ,limita tions, and always changing easily with' the de liberate changes of popular opinion and senti ments, is the only.true sovereign of a free people. ■Whoever rejects it, -does of. necessity fiy to an archy or .despotism, Unanimity is impossible. — The role of minority, as a permanent arrange ment. is wholly idadlnUsable ; so that rejecting the Majority principle, anarchy and despotism in some form is all tyat is left. Idh hot forget' ‘tbe positions assumed by some, that .ConStitajtional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, no r do 1 deny that such decisions must be binding in any "case upon the parties to a suit, as to the'object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very bigh respect and consideration in all parallel cases, by all other departments of the Goyemment. : And while it is obviously possible that such decision must be erroneous in any given case, - still the evil effect following it being limited to ttiat,particular cose, with the chance that it may be overruled; and never be come a precedent for-other cases, can better be borne than could thelevils of a different practice. At the same time tl|e candid citizen must con fess that if the policy of the government upon a vital question effecting the whole people is to be irrevocably-fixed |by the decision of the Su preme Court the instant they are made inordi nary litigations betWeenpartjes in personal ao tidnS, the people will have ceased to he their own.rulers, having to that extent practically re sigbed their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. iNor is there in this view any assault upon tbje Court or the Judges. It is a duty from which they may not shrink, to to decide cases properly brought before them, and it Is no fault oftheira if others seek to turn their decisions 1 to political purposes. One sec tibu of our country |>elievea slavery is right, and ought to be extended, while the other believes it Is wrong, and ought not to be extended, this is the Only substantial dispute. The' fugutive slave clause of the Constitution, and the lay for the suppression! of the foreign- slave trade; are each as Well enforced' perhaps, as any law can ever be Ip a community where the, moral sense of the people Imperfectly supports the law itself. • The great body of the people abide by the dry legal obligation In both cases and a few break oyer in each. This I think cannot be perfectly cured, land it would be worse in both coses after the separation of tbe sections than before. The fbreign slave trade, now im perfectly suppressed would be immediately re vived with opt "restriction in one section, while fugutive slaves, how only partially surrendered, would not be surteudm-ed at all by the other. ' Physically speaking We cannot separate ; we cannot remove pur respective sections from each other, nor build an impassible' wall between them. A husband 1 and wife may be divorced, and go out of the pjj-ckence and beyond the reach of each other Bat the different parts of our country cannot do [tbis.- They cannot but're main face to fade,] and an intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them. Is it possible, then, to make that in tercourse more adtyntageous or mote satisfacto ry after ‘separating than before! Can alliens make treaties easier than friends can msike laws? Can treaties tie mora faithfully .enforced be- i tween aliens titan laws among friends ? Sup- j< posoyougo to war, you fight always, ! and when, after much loss ou both sides and &u.. > gain on either] you cease fighting, the old idea- j Goal questions as to terms of intercourse are | again upon you. This country with'its institu- | tions, belongs to the people who inhabit it, ; Whenever, they shall grow weary of the (existing J government, they can exercise their constitu- j tional right .ofj amending it, or their revolution a- | ry rightto disbaember or overthrow it. I cannot ; be ignorant of the fact that many worthy and | patriotic citizens are desirous of having the i, national constitution amended. t j While 1 make no recommendations of araen<l> meats, I fully recognize the rightful authority of the people over the whole subject, to be ex.- | ercised in either of the modes .prescribed in the ! instrument itself, and I should, under existing j circumstances, favor, rather than oppose a fair opportunity being offered the people to act : upon it. I will venture to add that to, me the • r Convention mode seems preferable, inasmuch ; as it allows the amendment to originate with the people themselves, instead only of permit ting ttrem to take or reject a proposition origi nated by others not. especially chosen for the purpose, and which might not be precisely such i as they would wieh to either accept or re- | fuse. 1 understand a proposed amendment to | the Constitution, which amendment, however, | I have not seen, has passed Congress to the ef feet that the Federal Government shall never | interfere with the domestic institutions of the State including that of persons held to service. To avoid a misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose, not to speak of par ticular amendments, so far as to say that hold ing such a provision to be now. implied as con stitutional law, I have no objections to its being made express and irrevocable. The Chief Magistrate derives all his authority from the people, and they have conferred none upon him to fix times for the separation of the States.— The people themselves can do this also if they I 1 choose, but the Executive, as susb, has nothing to do with it. His duty is to administer pres ent government as it=came to bis hands, and to transmit it, unimpaired by to bis succes sor. Why should there not be a patient confi dence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world ? In our present'differences is either party with out faith of being in the right? If the Almighty Ruler of Nations, with bis eternal truth and justice, be oh your side of the North, or on yours of the Souths that truth and that justice will surely prevail by the judgement of this great tribunal, the American people. By the frame of the Government under which we live, this same people have wisely given their public servants but. little power fur mischief, and have with equal wisdom -provided for tbs return of that little to their own bands at very short intervals. The mails. While the people retain their virtue and vigi- ; lanea, bo Administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure theGovernmeut in the short space of four years. My one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable caq be lout by taking time. If there be aia object ta hurry any of you, in hot baste, to a stepwhich you would never take de liberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; But no good object can be frus trated by iti ' Such of you as are now dissatisfied still have theold Con stitution unimpaired. and on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing under it; while the new Administration will have no Immediate power, if it wanted to change either. If it were admitted that you, who are dissatisfied, hold the right! side ip the dispute, there still Is no single good reason fojr precipitate action. Intelligence, patiiot isin. Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yvt forsaken this favored land, are stilf couipetent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulties. In yo.ur hands, my dissatisfied countrymen, and not in mine, is the liiumentuus issue uf civil war..
