Now, howeveg,,that,qdverriet,CusTrw hes'talEen the same grolmod t 7hich woll look upon as favoring the repeal of the. obnoxious sections of the act of 18*,'.contbe subject of fugitive slaves, we trust the Hepliblican Legislature Will lose no time in falling into line with their chief, ' and induce the immediate-modification of that We bespeak fur the Address a careful peru sal. ' THE xigspoksunLlTY The Executive and both branches of the Legit'&time `being now ,in the' hands of the Repulilinazis,the people of Pennsylvania will hold them a stribt accountability for all they:say and do during the present winter.— They 'cannot shirk it now. The destinies of the CommOnWealth, fox weal or for woe, are entrusted' to them, arid' they cannot, if they would .-throw the zesponsibility upon the Dem ocratic party. There is no dodging, on their part u , d r l i the r iMpoitilnt questions of State and National 'pellicy which have arisen or will• arise during the year upon which we have en tered: They, will have to " face the music," and roust 'hereafter give an account of their stewardship to the people. Pennsylvania, from her central location and her untold agricultural, mineral and manu facturing reshurces, ocoupies an important andlsprOminent 'position in the Confederacy, and her potential voice, if properly expressed, will go very : far to save our beloved Union from;' the perils which surround it. Let her Governor -and e'er Legislature, for the time being, throw aside party trammels and " irre preasible 'conflict" platforins, and let them uniN'with their fellow citizens in holding out the olive branch of peace to the South, and all may yet ho well ; but let them pursue the opposite policy, and no gift of prescience will be needed to tell the consequences to the State and , the Nation. We are pleased to record the fact, that the nevi Executive, so far, as he has adumbrated his polity,-ie disposed to be conservative and conciliatory. If he is sincere in what be says, and his own party friends in the Legislature carry oiY'l his suggestions, it will be well, and we Shall' be prompt to give them credit for their, good actions. But we distrust these profifaisithieT . of the Republican leaders, and shag wait with patience to see how far they maybe realizedbefore'the session closes.

' A number, unfortunately's' minority, of that body have nobly come forward, in obedience. .to the prayer of the popular heart, and, pfae ing themselves in the reach, have fought, with an energy thatcould ,be prompted by no lees a, stake than the, preservation of the, Union, against the darn - prous enemies who threaten destruction. Foremost of this de. voted numher is CRITTES:DSN—a*.name that is embalme+ in an immortality of ' honor.— I Venerable for his years and his wiledomritown, and distinguished forthai;rity and constancy of his patriotism, be hat; Prepared and effered. to Congress a Proposition which, if accepted and passed - by that-body, will; we sincerely believe, terminate the alarming 'crisis, by 'se curing peace and establishing the govern-, -meat upon a basis, that, , oanant &Ki t ,iilicilteu,,— ; We believe that Crittenden's proposition would consummate these happy ends, and we therefore raise.onr-humble voice, .with those of millions whose,,hearte burn with entreaty, and ask Congress now to .interpose for the salvation of the country—now, whilst salva tion is yet possible. It is but a small bocin that is asked from Congress. It is merely the privilege for the people themselves to de tide whether, by a compromise which does no more than justice, and offers no dishonor to any section, they will have this Union to stand, or whether, without compromise, they Will have it to fall! This is all that is asked. Should the- request be granted, we have no fears of the result. The people would respond for the UNION ! Our only fears are, that this privilege—a small one indeed, and yet a priceless one—may be denied us. We have too many fanatics and madmen in Congress— too many who arc actuated by false sentiments of honor and blind adherence to party. We have too many from the South who, from ' the first motive specified, will not yield to an honorable compromise, and we have too many from the North who will not, yield, because, forstioth, the compromise trenches upon their party platform ! Is there patriotism in those who act from such miserable motives ? No ; there is none. In the hearts of the people— there is where the true patriotism of a demos racy resides. It is therefore to them. and not to a Congress that is spotted and disgraced with vile politicians and demagogues, that we would have submitted the vast issue of union or disunion - . We have before said, that as it now is, the people are powerless; but Crit tenden proposes to give them the power. We appeal to Congress to let the people say for themselves whether they will save or destroy the government. If they refuse to do so, great will be their crime. The language of the Hun. Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, uttered in the Senate a few days ago, is fear fully prophetic. " If," said he, "this govern ment must fall, its fall will be dated from the rejection of the Crittenden proposition !" With, then, the alternative of the Crittenden compromise or disunion before us, it becomes every patriotic man in the land to put ferth every influence in his power to induce Con gress to grant us this healing measure.
