SENATOR BIGLER If there is one man who more than any other, with the single exception of Mr. CRIT— TENDEN, deserves the gratitude of the Ameri can people, for his efrorts to secure peace and harmony .to the country, that individual is Sonata* Bpnant, from this State. Day and night, in season and out of season, has he la bored with *herculean exertions to bring about an adjustment. His great speech on the 21st inst., which was so highly commended by Senator °Ammon, is one of the most masterly and eloquent productions of the session, and in ,our next issue we shall either publish it entire, or such give lengthy extracts as our space will justify: • • MEETING OF THE STATE COM. MITTEE. _Hon. Wumeat H. WELSH, Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee, has -issued 'a call for the - assembling of the Coinniittee, .at-the Dnehler House, in Harris burg, on to morrow, the 30th inst., at 3 o'clock P.•BL, !bribe purpose of taking measures to convene a State Convention at an early day " to take into consideration the distracted state of thecmintry ! and devise, if possible, some means whereby the Union may be per petuated." • In his reply, to a request of Judge alas Lawn, Hon. enemas J. .Taroxascra„ Hon. Jancseuteand., and a large number of the most prominent DeMocrats of Philadelphia, for a State Convention, Mr. Wri.sa says:— "If the voice of the people be heard in reference to the perils surrounding our -Con federacy, I believe that it will give a power ful .and overwhelming expression in fdvor o conciliation and compromise.. That voice can nowbejleard only through the Democratic organization. All hope of relief from the livu t Nian majority- in our Legislature has 1 x Z qtQa.V." , a move in the, right direction, and we,lope,fihe ileimuittee will lose no time in assend),lMg a State Convention to give an ex pression of popular upiniorrin out noble old Commonweal LEFT oosuiekss.

No reasonable man of any. party— who acknowledges himself a'representative of the people, or responsible to his constituents —could desire to prevent the expression of the popular will upon questions of such vital importance to the country at large as those now pending. Let Hale, Wilion, Sumner, Wade, Toombs, Iverson, and all such "rule or ruin" leaders stand , aside. Let them give way, and permit the people to determine for themselves through the ballot box, and, our word for it, they will speak for conciliation and compromise in tones of thunder. They will say, and say it em phatically, that our blood bought Union is too precious a purchase 'to be sacrificed to either the fanaticism of one section, or the ultraism of the other. They will proclaim, in unmistakeable language, that it is a Union of interests and mutual sympathies, and that it shall be preserved, as it was- formed, by mutual conciliations and fraternal compro mises. The propositions of Senatorßrinza, as also those of similar character from Senator CRITTENDEN, are eminently practical and sen sible. It is the right and the duty of the people of the whole Union to decide upon them. And in the name of the best interests of the Nation, in the name of all that is near and dear to us of an earthly good, in the name of our bleeding and dis traded country, and in the name of the sov ereign people themselves, we have a right to ask for their passage through Congress, so that the American people may have the privi lege of deciding the great questions of the day, and of adopting the only peaceable means now left for the preservation of the Union. HOLD THEM TO IT! The Republican leaders previous to the late Presidential election, assured the working men of the country, that it was only necessary for the people to elect Mr. LINCOLN, and immediately Lusiness of all kinds would flourish as it never did before; that you would have plenty of work and good wages, and a general prosperity would ensue. You were faithfully warned by the Democratic and Union parties that these promises were false, and good times could not be the result of forcing a sectional President upon the country. You were admonished that these premises were only made as an electioneering• device to be broken after the election—and now, in all sincerity, we ask you where is this promised prosperity ? this " plenty of work and good wages" you were to have ? Is it seen in the prostration and stoppage of business generally ? Is it seen in the throwing of thousands of mechanics and laborers out of employ in mid-winter, and their families left destitute? Is it seen in the withdrawal of five States from the Union, and more in the act of going? Is it seen in the want of confidence all round, and in the decline of property? The Republican leaders have basely deceived you. They have brought the country already to disunion, and their whole talk now is for coercion and a resort to civil war and bloodshed. You bear no more about " plenty of work and good wages ; but, instead of this, you hear about shooting down your brethren of the South, because they insist upon having their Constitutional rights guaranteed to them as the condition of their remaining in the Union I The working men of the country should hold the Republican leaders to their pledges made before the election. Tell them you did not bargain for war, desolation and starvation ; you did not contract for disunion, anarchy, and all the horrors of internecine strife. You should insist upon having . the good times promised, without a month's longer delay.— Hold them to the bargain, and if they do not at once comply with all the stipulations of the bond, let them be branded as hypocritical knaves, and as totally unworthy of any confi dence in the future. • COMPROMISE m COERCION We are for compromising our National difficulties as long as there is any hope of an amicable adjuatilait, and only for coercion in the last extremity when peaceable means shall all have proved abortive. The great question now before the country involves a choice of alternatives—compromise or coercion, peace or war, union or irreparable disunion. The people are for compromise, peace and union—many of the Republican Senators and Representatives, and editors of the Greeley stamp, are for coercion, war, and disunion with all its attendant horrors. Fellow citizens, choose ye between them. Who are for peace, and who are for war, in Lancaster county.— While thousands respond to the formetques• tion, but a faint sound is heard in response to the latter, and that principally confined to the precincts of the Examiner and Union printing offices in this city, and especially •the latter. And so it is thiooghout the Common wealth. The masses are for compromise with. our Southern brethren. They are for construing the Constitution fairly and - liberal. .Iy, so that there can be no possibility of mis take as to its meaning, .and thereby to shut up the mouths of mischief-making Abolitionists at once and forever. APPOINTMENT. The GOvernor has appointed HENRY STUMP, Esq., of Berke county, Flour Inspector for the City of Philadelphia. TUE CRITTENDEN COMPRIIIIINE. Petitions are already before Congress with over two hundred thousanC:signors=and thousands more are daily pouring in—in favor of Senator CRITTENDEN'S proposition: • THE STATE LEGISLATVRE, • Nothing has yet been done - worthy. of nob) by our State ,Legislature.

We answer, that we du not apologize for the twessionisle:ef the - Smith; We believe they are wrong and treasonable in their attempt to dissolve, die Unioli, and- that all their grievances ,oan be redressed in the Union. 'At the same time we reiterate our averment that the New England. States can teMplated aeceseien, but,dtinj - that thetreasan, was crushed-out by the Government, or that any potirsion, was used by the National 44- ministration then' in power. It flied out, as we hope the preeent attempt of the Cotton . States to break • up the Union , will die out, from exhaustion and from the force of public" opinion in favor of the perpetuity of the Con federacy. Again he asks the question: "When or where did they fire a gun against a vessel'in Government service?" We never said they did ; but we - now say that they did. what was equally treasonable,—they burned blue lights to guide the enemy's vessels into their harbors, and their Governors and Legis latures refused to raise troops to assist their fellow countrymen in repelling the haughty Britons from American soil. And again he says: "Their treason, if intended, was nip ped in the bud—never flowered out into over act." Their " intended" treason was nipped in the bud—eh I Pray, by whom was it nip ped? We answered that query above ; and we leave our readers to judge whether the treason never flowered into over sot, as the writer alleges. . We might take up all theinterrogatories of our neighbor, seriatim, if it were necessary ; and show that the New England Abolitionists, and those who defend them in other States, are about the last people on the face of the earth who should talk about secession and treason. They _are steeped in the heinous iniquity themselves, and should be willing to judge others by the same measure of mercy that was meted out to them, when those who were concerned in the getting up of the Hart ford Convention deserved to have been made expiate their crimes upon the gallows. E MAN FOR THE HOUR Ift The Republican prints are busily engaged in a strenuous effort to prove that ABRAHAM Litmus is a statesman of remarkable ability, and just the man for the present crisis ; hence their columns are filled with accounts of interviews with him, and of his sage remarks on such occasions. The St. Louis Democrat (a LINCOLN paper) has an account of an interview had with him by the writer, from which we make the following extract: "He had been inquired of whether he intended to recommend the repeal of the anti fugitive slave laws of the States. He replied that he had never read one of them, but that if they were of the character ascribed to them by Southern men, they certainly ought to be repealed. Whether, as the President of the United States;. he ought to interfere with State legislation by Presidential reoommen dation, required more thought than he had yet given the subject. He had also been asked if he intended to interfere or recom— mend an interference with slavery or the right of holding slaves in the dock yards and arsenals of the United States. His reply was, Indeed, sir, the subject has not entered my mind.' He was inquired of whether he intended to recommend the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, to which he replied: Upon my word I have not given the subject a thought' A gentleman present said to him : Well, Mr. Lincoln, suppose these difficulties should not be settled before you are inaugurated, what will you do?' He replied with a smile: Well, I suppose I will have to run the machine as I find it.'" Here is statesmanship for you. Although every other man in the land is alive to the perils of the crisis, and has contemplated the slavery question in all its aspects, Mr. Lincoln has not thought anything about the anti fugitive slave law acts, nor whether he would recommend the abolition of slavery in the arsenals, dock yards, and District of Columbia. But he supposes he must "run the machine as hd finds it." If there is not elevated thought for you—if there is not statesmanship, his followers are mistaken. Surely he is the Man kir the Hour. GREELEY READING OUT Hounca GREELEY has assumed the position of drill master to the Republican party, and stands with drawn sword ready to cut down every unlucky offender who shows any weak ness or signs of wavering. His paper gives law to the Republican members of Congress, and woe be to the luckless Wight who runs counter to his wishes. For instance: Mr. CORWIN is told by the despot of the Tribune, that his late conserva tive speech is a " singular mixture of sense and folly ;" and auto Gen. CAMERON, for ex pressing his readiness to sustain the compro mise propositions of Gov. Brous, he is con demned without the benefit of clergy, ..and kinked out of the Republican party GRZELSY will have his hands fall before he is done with his dirty work, and will have great trouble in keeping all his Republican friends in the traces. Bat we shall see. THE FIRST DISUNION SPEECH IN THE SEN. ATE OP THE UNITED STATES.—The first dis union speech ever made in the United States Senate was made by. Josiah Quincy, of Massa in regard to the Louisiana enabling act, on January the 14th, 1811. He said : " I am_ compelled to declare it as my delib— erate opinion that if this bill passes, the bonds of this Union are virtually dissolved ; that the States which compose it are free from their moral obligations; and that, as it will be the right of all, so it im72 . be the duty of some, to prepare definitely for a separation— AMICABLY IF THE? CAN, VIOLENTLY IF THEY NEST." - This same Josiah Quincy is yet living, and, despite his advanoed ctge, is one of the .most radical Abolitionists in New England, and ie for coercing those who are acting on the doc trine which he enunciated 'in his youthful manhood. • ANOTHER STATE GONE ! The Louisiana State Convention, on Satur day last, passed the Secession , Ordinance 'by a vote of 113 to 17. - • - fir Resolutions approving of the .Critter'• den Compromise, were adopted in, the'New Jersey Legislature, on Friday—the Democrats and "Union men voting for, and the Republicans against them. - • WE IMOULDEvr VFONDER I The Toronto (Canada) Leader announces •positirely that the English Oovirnment • 01 1 74: 1— Pa4 - 14.1a4Pie 4be independence ;of the: SpuffieFlt, P cl,l3lloPO4.* .199 sk'iOfOTme4 , :' OBS.

But the other side did not want iohear,words. of patriotism and devotion. ' Mr. CAMERON said he was sorry that the Senators who left. this - morning,: had not waited till they heard from Pennsylvania.

Mr. IvEns= asked if he approved of the senti ments of his , oolleagtos t . against coercion. That is the point. Mr. CAMERON. Coercion is the last remedy to which I would resort. Mr. GREEN. Is it a remedy at all? Mr. CAMERON.. It is a bad remedy. Ido riot know whether I would ever resort to it. Certainly, it is the last remedy to which I would resort. E%-PRESIDENT FILLMORE'S VIEWS. BUFFALO, Dec. 19, 1860. My Nen Sm.- 1 --Your favor ,of the 17th inst., inclosing the proceedings of a "Union meet— ing" held on Saturday evening in New York,- did not reach me until yesterday afternoon. I have rod the whole proceedings with great interest, and I cannot feel otherwise than' flattered that the distinguished and patriotic men Composing that'meeting thought me worthy to compose one of a delegation of three " to proceed to the South, with a view to make such explanations to our Southern brethren in regard to the subjects embraced in the address and resolutions (adopted by the meeting) as they may deem necessary, and to give such further assurance as may be needed to manifest our determination to main tain their rights." This is certainly an honorable and patrietic mission, and did I believe it could do any good I should not hesitate a tnomerit under take it. But you will pardon me for saying frankly that, in my opinion, our Southern brethren require no assurance beyond that of the meeting, and the address and resolutions, to convince them that the members of that meeting, and those they represented, now are aml,at all times have been willing to do them justice, and have done their utmost to main— tain their constitutional rights ; and to go there and inform them merely of this: fact, which is all we can do, is, in my opinion, a work of supererogation. What they want, and what I want, is some assurance from the republican party, pow dominant at the North, that they, or at least the conservative ,portion of them, are 'ready and willing to come forward and repeal all unconstitutional slave laws, live up to the compromises of the constitution, execute the laws of Congress honestly and faithfully: •and treat our Southern brethren as friends. When I can have any such reliable assurance 018 this to give, I will *go most cheerfully and nrge our Southern brethren to follow our example, and restore harmony and fraternal affection between the North and South. . • At present our labors Should fie here. "'Let' us put ourselves right, and then we can with more confidence and justice appeal to them ; and I am• happy to say that recent indieations lead me to hope that this may be done.. I am especially gratified to see the patriotic and sensible, article in the Albany _Journal of last Monday. Stfinding, as the seigor, editor, of that paper does, at the head 'of his picrty, it required' great moral courage arid good sense and' devoted patriotism to indite and publish such an article. But I regard it as evidence that there are men in the republican party,' who have been regarded as most ultra, who see the danger that threatens and are willirig to sacrifice all false pride, and even party itself to save the country. I cannot doubt that there, are many more such ; and from that source I look for the salvation ofthe country. But I ,cannot say more. I have written in the utmost baste, that a substitute may be appointed in my place. • I am, truly yours, MILLARD FrLLMORB. SENATOR CAMERON COMING Rourrn-.-A BREAK THE , REPUBLICAN COLUIEN.—The Republicans in the Senate have 'thus far been a unit against any propositions of compromise for the restoration of. the Union. But on Monday last Senator Cameron expressed his readiness to - support the Bigler propositions (substantially the same as the Crittenden resolutions,'with the important difference of a direct appeal to the people ;)- and_ this indi cates the beginning of:a break in the Repub lican column. General Cameron is a saga 7 Mous politician, and is not apt to misioterpret the public opinion of 'Pennsylvania. If the other Republican Senators had only a tithe , of his sagacity, to Say nOthing :of patriotism; there would soon be a settlement in favor of thoZnion: The best of it is, that as General Cameron is still Son file for a Cabinet position under Mr. Lincoln, he , speaks to some purpose when he proposes to try the virtuekof a corn proinise. Let him some, forward without-an " it" for the Biglef'resebitions, and he may open the" way of deliverance to the country and to the , incoming administration.—N. F: Herald. • ' EGENTIICF.y.

Ali danger of an immediate collision of the Federal and Stute forces at Forts Sumter and Pickens is at an end. It is understood that peace shall be preserved until the 4th of March. Whether the armistice will continue after that date no one can predict. The House Navy and Army Committees are, it is reported, engaged in the preparation of bills placing both arms of the public service on a war footing. The enrollment of volunteers will be recommended, and also the construction of a number of light draft steamers for coast service. Mr. Dtx., Secretary of the. Treasury, has communicated to Congress a statement of the actual condition of the Treasury. He esti— mates the amount necessary prior to the Ist of July next, in addition to the accruing revenue, at twenty millions of dollars. He also suggests" measures to raise this money, and, among other means, refers to the surplus revenue deposited in the States in 1836 as a specified fund which might be pledged or recalled. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Ex-President Tyler had a-long, satisfactory and friendly interview with the President to day. The latter expressed his belief that there will be no collision between the Federal and State forces during the remainder of his administration, and that he certainly make -every effort to prevent it, and to preserve peace. Mr. Tyler will partially remain here till the . 4th of February, to meet the Commis sioners from States other than Virginia. • Larez Anderson, the brother of Major Anderson, will leave to morrow for his home, Cincinnati. His efforts both in Washington and Charleston were instrameutal in producing the better 'understanding between Major Anderson and the Carolina authorities. A large number of leading Republicans from various parts of- the - country have been here for several days. There is a great deal of consultation among the friends of the incoming Administration, the results of which may - soon be developed. -- The Senate in executive session, confirmed a number of comparatively unimportant nominations, thus-clearing the calendar.— Among the confirmations was that of Capt. Black, of New Jersey, as Quartermaster of the Marine Corps. Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, returned from Springfield to day, and from the fact that he expressed the opinion that the Border State Committee resolutions came nearer than any other plans to what the public exigencies re quire, this is deemed significant, in connection with his recent visit to the. President elect. Mr. Case, of Indiana, of the Committee on Territories, will report a bill, appropriating $60,000 for the relief of the sufferers in Kan sas. Thaddeus Hyatt has proceeded thither, with the view of exerting his influence in the Senatorial election. The principal candidates are'Messrs. Array, Pomet•oy and Graham. Mr. Rust has, through a friend, sent a note to Mr. Dunn, owing to what was said in their colloquy in the House to day. • - WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Mr. Holt, today, formally took leave of the gentlemen connected with the Post Office Department. First Assistant King introduced. Major Trott, who, he said, bad been selected by them to give expression , to thefriendly feelings they entertained for him, ,hotb ea a private citizen and public functionaiy. Mr. Holt eloquently responded to the ad— dress of Major Trott; alluding to the national gloom, and to an event of the morning— namely : the death, after a protracted illness, of Mr. Dundee; the Second Assistant Post— master General, of whom he spoke as a pure and efficient officer. ' The gentlenten present, ae well ae Mr. Holt, were solemnly impressed with these Proceed— ings. • The Boston Committee, Mr. Everett and others, bearing the mammoth. Union petitiop, have arrived.

Now if we could skate, eke, bat 'we can't. Our literaiy budget is somewhat meagre. New books are scarce, but the few that are publishing are of the first alas* We have only to instance two or three fine works from the presses of Ticknor A Fields. and Gould k Lincoln. The Pulpit of the American Revolution,,by 'John Wingate Thornton, A. M.; published Ina very handsome duodecimo volume by the latter house, is a work to command atten tion both from Its subject and treatment. Its title ex plain, it to contain the Palitlaiil Sermons of the period of 1776; with a Ilistorlialpitroductlost Notes and Illus tration's," by the editor", Much Information concerning our Revolutionary period, not - . to be .found in the ticual avennee of history, may be gleaned from this admirable voinme, - The originatatyle of the Sermons is maintained, and the whole rehires le as quaint and unique as it is interesting. Another fine work from O. A L is The Lift ofTrust, which commends itself especially to Christian readers as a personal narrative of an experience founded entirely -upon faith in Child. Dr. Wayland, to an Introduction to the Narrative,* cello It *the' mod remarkable Instance of the efficacy of prayer ". with which be is acquainted, and that It seems in fact to be a practical illustration" of certain paseages in Scripture relating to the promises and reward of Faith.' The personal testimony of a consistent and un falteriug individual like George Muller le a seal to the proMisewhich wilidomuch good in confirming the waver. big and demolishing the scoff: of the skeptical. We have boon charmed with the earnestness and simplicity of the narrative, and with the hope that it may do much good we cordially recommend it to the publio. One of the publications to which we have referred, from Meeare. Ticknor k Fields, is Dean Bamsey's - Reminiscence" of Scottish Life and Character, a very gem of a book and published with all the well-known taste and beauty of the publishers. Dean Itamsay's book - has long been a favorite at home, and several extracts from its pages have given American readers a foretaste of its excellence. lint it was left to our eminent Boston house to give us the entire work, and in a preface furnished especially for this edition the anther expresses his gratification at the opportunity to forth the acauaintance of the great American republic of readers. There are stories here of the last half century in Scotland, of all ranks and conditions in life, humorous, satirical and sentimental. Again we say the book Is a gent The same publishers also issue Bruin, or the Ginat Bear Hunt, by Capt;Mayne Reid. We can imagine that we see the young folks' eyes sparkle as they read that , name. Where is there another Capt. Reid 7 and where the like of" hie stories of The Bush Boys, The Forest Exiles, and Ran • Away to Sea 7 Bruin is the story of two eons of a Russian baron, sent by their father to bring to him the skin of a bear of every species on the face of the earth. ' The Grand Bear Rant details the exciting adventures of these young Nimrod', who, of course execute their - father's mission to the letter. The volume is very prettily illustrated, and, in a word, is one of the most pleasant -and- instructive books for boys that we have ever encountered. - A capital book for the times is iir.ll. D. 'Mansfield's Political Manual ; a Complete View of the Theory Practice of the Government of the Malted States, published by Mears. A. S. Barnes dr Barr, 'New - York; Lippincott, Philadelphia. The present cash' In the affairs of the nation is learning an Important fact to the people—that they must read and learn of the Science of Goyeriareent for themselves. The day of political prostitution is past, and great leaders who would hereafter be popular dare not lead the people away from the great principles upon which ' • our government is based. 'The present little vOlume will form an invaluable adjunct whenever there is a.. desire to familiarize oneeself with the constitutional elementa of the American Government. As such it will no doubt be come - popular, for it is the beat work of the kind ever pub' lished. Next week's number of Little's Living Age (870, for February 2nd,) contains half a score of fine !dories and articles from the foreign magazines and reviews,including -a capital sketch of Dr. Carlyle (whose Memoirs have just been published by Ticknor &Fields) au article on Spirt tuaf lam, from the Saturday Review, on Animal Life, from the. - Atheneum, - with the usual briefer articles, etc. A new serial story will be commenced immediately in The Age, and we Addis our readers to go back two or three weeks and take this grand periedical from the hastening of the: year, and go on taking it, and reading it, as long as they shalitive. CURIOUS FREAKS OF Elisroair.--In the year 1814, during the war with England, the five New England States (Maine being not then created) held a Convention at Hartford, for the purpose of taking into consideration the question of seceding from the other States of the Union,, in consequence of certain measures, such as the non intercourse act, the embargo, and - the war with England. The five States were discontented with the course of 'the' President, and felt very quarrelsome towards.` the Sopth, chiefly , for commercial causes. They insisted upon five or six amendments te_ the Constitution as a necessity - for harmony,: but agreed finally to wait for six months,- at the expiration of which time they were to hold another Convention in. Boston. It happened, however, that peace was' concluded with Great Britain before that time. and in the_'' general satisfaction all the 'difficulties were healed, and there was no secession. Now, in this year 1861, we witness a seces sion movement in the opposite direction. It ,; is the Cotton States that are diScontented now, and curiously enough they also number just five. Their quarrel is with the North, and nothing but five or six amendments to the Constitution will satisfy them. And it is very remarkable, moreover, that two of the amendments demanded by New England in 1814 are now proposed in Congress—namely, ; that no new-State shall come into the Union except by a two thirds vote in Congress, a - pd . that the President shall be elected for one term, only. Thus history ,repeats changing only geographical positions. The five manufacturing States were going to secede forty-seven yearirago from the States that, : produced the staple-article of their .mantifac turing industry ;.• and the five cotton-States are seceding to-day from the States that most' ' largely use their *ducts. Very curious, and very suggestive.—N. Y.
