Iffintro TY'S -VlCr'r 0 EY! 766 wri.7,74iarrir The municipal eleetion-on Tuesday last; resultockiptpkimFelliented. triumph, of c the Democracy, aided and assisted by the cen ser= votive citizens of other-parties. The victory is complete sia c overwhelming. The Repub licans did not carry a single Councilman in the ClV—c7rtii eighteen' elected, every one ~ of them are sound and reliable Demo crats, men devoted to the Union, and in favor of conciliation and compromise so as to bring about a peaceable adjustment of ,our. National difficulties. They are all in favor of the Crittenden resolutions, Or some other equally affective preposition, and opposed to the coer cion Ilsyst4ines .of , TgADDEUS STEVENS. This issue entered largely into the contest,' follow ing, as it did, -Mogi upon the heels of Mr. STEVENS' offensive speech in Congress. The people of this City were determined to ad minister a fitting rebuke to him at the first opportunity; and they did it most effectually on Tuesday. The result of the - election here shows. the tremendons.reaction that is going on in Penn sylvania, and should ratify the Southern people that they will have nothing to fear from re maining in the Union. . The "sober, second thought" of the North will put every thing to righisi in a very shOrt time, and Republi canism will never elect another President of the Republic. The old . Keystone State will never disgrace herself again by aiding a sec tional party lb' destroy the Union. THE GAIN Z At the municipal election last year the Democratic majority for Mayor was 170. At the election on last Tuesday the Mayor's majority was 7001 _One year ago, the Re publicans managed to elect four members of airmail—this year they didn't get a solitary one! The Republican party, in Lancaster city, is numbered among the things that were, and we are inclined to think that if they place 'themselves on the coercive platform of Mr. STEVENS, they will find it to be a difficult matter to even carry the county hereafter.— The great mass of the people of this county— irrespective of party—are for the Union, and for peace and harmony, in opposition to civil war and certain disunion. IT WON'T DO I Some of the Republicans of this City and elsewhere, are trying to break the force of their fall on Tuesday last, by claiming the election of Messrs. BARER and MESSENKOP, Constables of the North East and South East Wards, as a sort of Republican triumph, and allege that they are both Republicans. We admit that Mr. BASER is a Republican, but be is notone of the coercion stripe, for he of ffi his name to the memorial in favor of the Crittenden compromise, a few days before the election, and this act probably " saved his bacon." As to Mr. MESSENKOP, he is not now, and never was, a Republican ; all his sympathies are with the Democratic party, and always were since his boyhood. Both these gentlemen have made efficient officers, and that is the principal reason why they were elected. THE,DEMOCRACY UNITED I The Democracy of this City were thoroughly united on Tuesday. They went into the con test as one man—Douglas men and Breckin ridge men—determined to lose sight of every thing of an unpleasant nature heretofore, and contend, heart and hand, for the time-honored principles of the party. And in the good work of carrying the city against ultraism and coercion, they were nobly aided by the Bell and Everett men, and also by a number of the more conservative Republicans, who were determined to be hitched no longer to the Abolition car of Thaddeus Stevens & Co. A VERY SMALL BUSINESS I One of the most contemptible tricks we have ever known any set of men to be guilty of, was the passage of a bill through the House of Represerptives, authorizing the defeated Republican candidate for High Constable, at the late election, to assume the duties of the office made vacant by the decease of Mr. Myers. It was a bald attempt to treat the election- as a nullity, and was promptly checkmated by the Councils, under the power vested in them by Ordinance, who assembled on Satiirday evening and elected &mum atom, a worthy and active Democrat, to fill the vacancy. Mr. HUBER was duly qualified and entered upon his duties on yesterday morning. His appointment gives general satisfaction, and we have no doubt the new Constable will make an efficient officer. We suppose Mr. FIIEBTAND will hardly have the above mentioned bill run through the Senate in hot haste to day, as was the inten tion had the game not have been so promptly blocked by the Councils. THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY The. Convention of the seceding States, now in session at Montgomery, Alabama, have elected JEFFERSON Deals, of Mississippi, President, and ALEXANDER H. BTEPHENS, of Georgia, Vice President of the Provisional Goiernment which has been established. gbh"' Mr. G. G.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE. The Peace Conference at Washington, on Wednesday, on the motion of ex-Secretary Guthrie, of Kentucky, appointed the following Committee, consisting of one, from each State represented, with instructione to report some plan likely to lead to an adjustment: Guthrie, Ky., Chairman; Fowler, New Hampshire; Hall, Vermont ; Ames, Rhode Island; Baldwin, Connecticut; Vroom, New Jersey ; White, Pennsylvania ; Bates, Dela— ware ; Johnson, Maryland; Seldon, Virginia ; Ruffin, North Carolina ; Ewing, Ohio ; Smith, Indiana; Logan, Illinois; Harlan, lowa. Mr. Guthrie, in urging the appointment of the committee, made an able speech, in which he showed the great importance of a speedy settlement of the political differences now dis tracting the country. The great Mississippi valley he stated, had a right to be heard on this vital question. She had more at stake in this matter than any other section of the Union, and he called upon the convention •to come forward, and in a proper spirit, laying aside all prejudice and bias, adjust the differ ences which had well nigh destroyed, and if not speedily remedied, would entirely destroy , our glorious Union. Messrs. William C. Rives, of Virginia, Chase, of Ohio, Judge Ruffin, of North Caro lina, C. B. Smith, of Indian. and Tuck, of New Hampshire, also spoke in favor - of an adjust ment. Reports from Washington yesterday say the Pennsylvania Commissioners have signified their willingness to accept the Crittenden proposition. Hon. Thomas E. Franklin, of Lancaster, Pa., is confined to his room by an attack of erysi p elan. VIRGINIA The defeat of the Secession party in Vir ginia is,overwhelming. Even the Richmond Enquirer does not claim the election of more than thirty delegates to the Convention who are in favor of unconditional secession. On the popular vote, it is believed that there is a majority against the Secessionists of fully fifty thousand. It is also decided by a large majority that whatever action be taken by the State Convention must be referred to a vote of the people for ratification. This is the true way to manage this business. If Virginia secedes from the Union, it will be done decently and in order, and with a cer tainty that it is the will of the people. In the States already seceded, the people had very little to do with the business. It was altogether in the hands of politicians and demagogues. The men elected to the Conven tion as Unionists are not all to be regarded as in fayor of remaining in the Union under all circumstances. They will await the action of the Conference at Washington and of Con gtess, in the hope that they will agree upon some compromise on which Virginia may present a united front in defence of the Union, and eventually bring back into it all the seceded States. A SOUTHERN SYMPATHIZER SHOT DEAD IN OHIO. —The Zanesville Courier, of the Ist instant, con tains the particulars of the shocking murder of William Wilkins, a few days previous, at Sewells ville, Belmont county, Ohio. The murdered man was engaged in a heated discussion of the national troubles, during which he earnestly sided with the South, and exhibiting a pistol expressed his willing ness to fight for her. One of his companions, who had taken part in the discussion, requested Wilkins to let him see the pistol, and upon lais• compliance with the request, remarked that if those were Wil kins' sentiments, it was as good a time now as any other to make a commencement, and placing the weapon at the breast of the latter, fired, the ball entering the heart and killing him instantly. No arrest was made. ler The Zanesville Republicans, it appears, are opposed to "free speech." It does well enough to talk about before an election, but after that the "irrepressible conflict" seems to be more in consonance with their notions of right. Because poor Wilkins dared, as a free American citizen, to express his opinion in reference to our National 'difficulties, he was shot down like a dog,.and the murderer is permitted to go scot free. Such is Repub licanism in Zanesville! ELOQUENT REMARKS The following eloquent remarks of Mr. PENDLETON, of Ohio, who presented a petition from ten thousand citizens of Ohio, praying Congress to pass the Crittenden Compromise, presents a striking contrast to those of his colleague, Mr. Sherman, who refuses to " set tle," and in his late speech in Congress says, "if we cannot settle, let us fight." Mr. Sherman .would do well to take the advice of his colleague, who exhibits the *sentiments of a true patriot and Union loving man: g , If an army could maintain the Union, half a million of men would spring up in a night. If money could keep it together, the soil would leap with joy to produce its golden harvest. If blood, old and young men would yield it like streams which water their soil. But an army of blood and men will not preserve the Union. Justice, .reason and peace may. What force can compel a State to do what is required to be done by legislation? The whole scheme of coercion is impracticable, and con trary to the genius and spirit of the Constitution. The Southern States are prepared to resist, and when armed men come to together there is war.— The enforcement of the laws _against the seceding States is coercion, and coercion is war. If the South say they have grievances, redress them, and calm their agitation and irritation. Remember, these men who thus come to us, are bone of our bone. 'they are our brethren and fellow citizens. You may grant what they desire without losing your character and self-respect. Ile begged them in God's name to do it. Give peace instead of discord; maintain the .government and preserve this great confederated empire. His voice to-day was for concili ation and compromise, and in this he echoed the voice of those whom he represents. If you will not grant this, in God's name let the affected States degh'in peace."

Believing still, as we then 'said and' have uniformlYleid, that the institution Of AfriCan slaVery is irntoregnablewithin the States, and retaining still ali,dorifidence in , theeOcial and . political, - strength of that benificent form of servitude which exists at the South, we .have no penic terrors to feign for purposes of agita tion.; but, as others at the South have either less confidence than' we possess in the defen ces of slavery, or less confidence in the per poses of the' NOrthern mass 6, we would renewedly urge the Representatives , of_ the latter, as far es in them lies, to avert, by an affirmative movement in the way of concilia tion, the dangers that have already ensued from a mutual misunderstanding betweerithe people of the two sections. That we were right in basing our 'appeal to this effect on the Constitution as it is, rather than on the concession of guarantees substan tially new, will be apparent from the emphatic language held by Mr. Senator , Meson; of Virginia, who, in all that concerns the wishes and rights of his section, may be acceptedas , a " representative man," and who, in the Senate of the United States, on the 30th ultimo, spoke as follows : " The Senators from Pennsylvania have spoken of a disposition on the part of their State to make any concessions to the South which they'can make with proper regard to the Constitution or to themselves. Now, I do not understand what those Senators, or others who use that term, mean by concessions. am not aware that the Southern States have asked for any concessions of any kind, in any form. Yet that term is in as familiar use here as a household word, that the South asks for concessions from the North, and that the North is willing to make them ! We would never ask for concessions in any form. It has been the uniform language of the Southern States here, through their Representatives, so far-as I know, that they are perfectly satisfied with the Constitution; they have no complaint to make of the Constitution. Their complaint is, that tho Constitu tion has been violated and disregarded, to the pre judice of the rights secured to them by the Constitu tion. They ask for no concession in any form or shape. It would be unworthy in them to ask it, and derogatory in the other States to yield it. What are concessions? The idea is, thatthe North are to give to the South something that the Constitution does not entitle them to. That is the only idea of con. cession. We have haver asked for it in any form or shape. We have asked only that the Constitution be regarded, fulfilled, carried out, as the makers of the Constitution designed it should be, for the pro tection of those rights under the Constitution that we say have been outraged and violated. We ask for no concession. We should be humiliated if we did ask it; and they would be humiliated if they granted it. We ask for no concession ; we ask only for right. We are- asking for no new provisions whatever. We are asking for a security, not a concession." Such being the attitude of the question as presented by Mr. MASON, we have next to direct the attention of our readers to the subjoined extract from the debate had in the House of Representatives on the 23d ultimo, as certifying, in a condensed form, the reason able expectation of Southern Conservatives, and at the same time indicating the bounden obligation of those at the North who would willingly strengthen their hands: t‘ Mr. VALLANDIGHAX. I desire to inquire whether there is any thing in the Crittenden propositions or in those known as the propositions of the Border State Committee, or in the report of the Committee of Thirty-three, tending to remove the singular delusion' which the gentleman says exists in the minds of the Southern people? "Mr. ETHERIDGE. I will answer that question frankly. There is. I tell the gentleman from Ohio the true union men of the South are standing to-day struggling with all their power to preserve the Government; fighting, as they believe, for the cause of religion, humanity, civilization and pro gress; and all these things are involved in the peace of the country. And that peace may depend upon the adoption of these propositions. They are sur rounded by a tempestuous despotism—every where confronting a panio which is made to feed itself. It is all-devouring. Why, sir, it is well known to every gentleman who reads the newspapers that wherever this disunion sentiment predominates it is simply a reign of terror." From these indications in Congress let us turn to the exponents of popular opinion, as found in the public press of the country, representing different shades of political sen timent, that we may ascertain whether they present the conditions of a pacification. In evidence on this point we may begin by quot ing the language of a leading Breckiuridge Democratic journal, the Baltimore Exchange, which in its number of Saturday last contains the following : "It is a pity that the word concession' should have ever been used in relation to this controversy. It is a term which, from the interpretation put upon it by the extreme Republicans, has led many well meaning people astray. Concession implies a grant of extra-constitutional privileges ; but these are not what the South wants. She simply asks for a reaffirmation of her rights under the Constitution, and in such language as will admit of no dispute hereafter. She does not oven insist Spon the whole of her prerogative ; for if she took her. stand upon the Dred Scott decision it would warrant her people in taking their slaves into any and all of the Terri tories of the Union, and in claiming there, for this species of property, the protection of the General Government. As an abstract right she is entitled to do this ; but she is willing to waive the right and would accept the Crittenden proposition as a measure of compromise. By yielding thus much she surren ders to free labor all that territorial area lying north of 36 deg., 30 minutes, on condition that in the territory south of that line slavery shall not be pro hibited during the continuance of the Territorial government ; and that when such Territory becomes sufficiently populous to justify . its claim to be admit ted into the Union, it shall be received as a Slave or a Free State, as its Constitution may determine. It is proposed, further, that Congress shall have no power to abolish slavery in the States where it exists ; that it shall not interfere with the transfer of slaves from one State to the other, or with slavery in the District of Columbia while it exists in Maryland and Virginia. These are the chief points embodied •in the Crittenden resolutions, and it is asked, for the more perfect observance of them, that they shall be incorporated as an amendment into the Constitution when ratified by Conventions of three-fourths of the people of the States. That the Border Slave States would readily accept the Crittenden plan as a basis of settlement does not admit of the possibility of .a doubt. To this expression of Southern Democratic opinion may be added the following exposition of Northern duty, as 'enforced by a leading organ of the Republican party in New Bog. land. We allude to the Boston Daily Adver tiser, which, in its number of the 31st ultimo, holds the following language: The letter olass in the Border States refuse to give way to unfounded apprehensions, and are ready to trust to their countrymen. But it is easy to see how a very powerful influence is now brought to bear upon lus Intelligent and more prejudiced minds to lead them to doubt the safety of relying upon the strict party , platform - of the Sepublioans for safety. , !It is to be observed that the leaders among the genuine Union Men of -those -States do, not mike a demand of any particular scheme of guarantees. They say -give as Mr. Crittenden's plan, or, if you do not like that, the National Committee's plan, or any thing with whieh we can meet the arguments DOW urged by the secessionists. , 4 .

While Virginia cannot remain in the Union without the Minded Stet* she Will, before seceding, eihaust every effort to bring back the seceded States npon•proper gearantees of their rights.. , !From the Norfolk .Day Book.] Long before the vote on the secession ordinance is taken the attitude of the North will be such that even the Union men will find themselves compelled to take the very steps that were urged by the seems sionista. And even if they then hesitate the Beset don party in that convention will be sufficiently strong to pass the ordinance, and old Virginia will come out all right. rPronx the Lynchburg Virginiand Let no man be deceived. Let not the Northern people be misled. For one, we wish to deal candid ly with them. Virginia is neither for precipitation nor submission. She is opposed to both. She de clared by her vote on Monday, that she wants her rights in the Union. Nothing more, nothing less. We dare say it will be alleged, indeed, we know it is already said by the Precipitators, who are smart• ing under their defeat--that Virginia will submit to anything." Well, We 'hope not. We are re joiced, however, that she would not submit to their dictation. It was said here on yesterday, that we "would vote for Lincoln;" but those who thus at temlited to east odium upon the men who reject their mad policy, Icriow better They are true men —men who love Virginia, and whose interests are identified with hers. But we let this pass, as un worthy of a moment's consideration. We pray the Northern people and Northern members of Con gress, not to deoeive themselves; for a majority, aye, a very large majority of the people of Virginia will resist every effort to maintain any Union that puts the badge of inferiority upon them. They must be regarded and treated as equals. They will consent to nothing less. Let the Northern men then hasten to cement such a Union as Virginia will maintain and stand by fore ver. THE RESULT IN VIRGINIA The Baltimore Am',erican, which has throughout this secession controversy used its influence in behalf of the Union, and has been largely instrumental in preventing_ Maryland from taking immediate steps to separate from the Union, uses the following language in refrenee to the Virginia election. It is worth while for our people to consider -the deep significance of these sentiments, coming as they do from a leading representative of the. most moderate and most conservative portion' of the Southern people: Enough is known of the Virginia election to indicate with apparent certainty the temper of her people. It will be remembered that the geographical position of this glorious old State is alone sufficient to give peculiar impor• tance to her voice and counsels in the,present. crisis. Excepting Maryland, there is no slave •State in the Confederacy, where vital interests are more directly mixed up with the 'settlement or prolongation of this controversy—which has at last reached a climax—than the Old Dominion. She has a wide and indefensible border on the separating line, and she has been one of the largest losers by Northern fanaticism. Whatever pretext may be urged in favor of secession by any one, or all of the GUlf States combined, it is past all controversy that Virginia has more wrongs to redress'than all of the seceding States put together. Un— der these circumstances, the influence of her latest vote cannot well be overrated. Her Commissioners to the Peace Congress meet the representatives from the Northern States with fair demands ; they are instructed to state her wrongs plainly, and to demand the acknowledgement of her rights firmly. And the emphatic endorsement, written upon the back of her resolutions—which resolutione include terms of settlement satisfactory , to all her sisters on the Southern border—is this last avowal of her unflinching loyalty to the Union. There is but one remainingpoint• to notice in connection with this Virginia election.— The gentlemen who have been defeated are the - unconditional secessionists; those whose policy was all summed up in the single scheme of separate and " sovereign " State. action.-- Among them there might be found some whose plans looked to a reconstruction of the Union upon a new basis, as it is impossible to say how far human madness-may not go. But the delegates elect, on the other hand, are not unconditional Union men. If the North— ern politicians should fancy that this result is a practical submission to nnredressed wronv, for the sake of peace and Union—a glint acceptance. of evils that May not be averted by secession' arid war—they will make a fatal mistake. In common with all her sister States, whose interests are identical with her own, Virginia deiires to adhere to.the Union, with a Constitution about whose provisions and compromises there shall be no sectional discussions. There could never be a fairer opportunity offered for the Northern States to cement such a Union as all these bordei States 'Will stand by for all time. And there could not be a- more fatal perversion of a glorious opportunity than for the Free States to misconstrue this pacific overture. MR. LINCOLN AND HIS WHISKERS. Tho Neve.York Evening Post. chronicles the interesting fact that Mr. Lincoln has turned out a formidable pair of whiskers, which greatly improve his appearance. Thereution the Albany .4rgns)efs off the following : "The devotion of Mr. Lincoln to his perso nal adornment ie,,at this moment, a boon to civilization I It is of comparatively little importance whether States are dissevered or whether the people are rushing into. ruin.

M. In the Select branch, after the qualifying of the new members— Messrs. &NON B. Reffivos of the North West, Greene, M. KLINE of the North East, and Joan DEANER of the South West and' South East Wards—by the Maybr, Jamas H. BARNES, Esq., was elected President by a unanimous vote, and JAMES 0. CARPENTER, Esq., reelected Clerk by a simi lar compliment. Dr. CARPENTER, the accomplished and efficient President of last year, declined a re-election in a few exceedingly appropriate remarks. Mr. Bean= will make a capital presiding officer, having served some five or nix years as a member of the body and on two of the most important committees, and has frequently occupied the chair as President pro tern. Hie selection is an admir able one, and we are sure he will discharge the duties with credit to himself and fidelity to the interests of the public generally. The selection of Mr. Gienstrun is a merited testimonial to his worth and ability as an officer. Indeed, it would be almost impossible for the Council to get along .without his services. In the' Cominon branch Dr. P. CAMIDT was re-elected President, and JOHN BL JOSMBroa, Clerk.. These gentlemen., have made excellent officers, end the compliment of a unanimous vote was a just one to their ability, efficiency and courteous demeanor. The interests of the people of the city will not suffer In their hands. Both Presidents made neat and appropriate speeches on taking their positions. The usual resolutions appointing the various Standing Committees, were. adopted by both branches. The following, communication was received from the Mayor, announcing the decease of High Constable Mrsas : Mann's Crates, Lancurrsa, Feb. 8,186 L • 2b the rdPel and Common Councils of the City of Lancaster: 'OENTIXNEDI: The painful duty devolves upon me of an nouncing, in an official manner, the decease of John Myers, the recently elected High Constable of the City, and who for many years has served the public faithfully. in that position. He expired at his late residence in the South West Ward, on Wednesday evening, the 6th that., and, consequently, there Is now a vacancy in that office. . In accordance with the Provision in the 13th section of the Ordinance of April 4, 1854, (see page 84 of Ordinance Book,) it is made the duty of Councils to meet In joint Convention and fill said vacancy—the person so selected and commissioned, to serve ',until the . ensuing annual election." Respectfully, de.., (IEO. SANDERSON, Mayor. The communication was ordered to be entered upon the minutes, and a resolution was adopted unanimously in • both branches that they. would attend his funeral, , and Inviting the Mayor, Aldermen and other City O ffi cers .to likewise attend . -A-resolution , was also adopted fixing this afternoon as the time for filling the vacancy. The latter resolution was rescinded at the special meeting of Councils on Saturday evening. 1... . To-day, at 2 o'clock, -P.

Barons: By your eclitortsle I perceive you are In favor of some =cessions on our part. to conciliate the minds of citizens of the southern portion of our here tofore united and prosperous, but at• present distracted country. Cheering as It 'is to see our neople so, generally will ing to do their part towards an honorable adjustment of the difficulties, yet it is deplorable that most of our representatives both in Congress and In our State Legit?• lature, as well as a majority, of our most Influential poli ticians of the State, persist so strenuously in saying that our State has done nothing that can interfere with the rights of the South, nor against the Constitution, and that such being the case, it would be degrading - to our honor were we to make any concessions or repeal any of our former acts of Assembly for the purpose of saving the Union; but may we not hope that they too will alter their views before It Is too late to save the people from all the horrors of a bloody struggle or a permanent dissolu. tion of our heretofore happy Union. Pennsylvania seems to proclaim through hertrulers that she is innocent as to the cause of the secession movement, but complains, and I think with justice, that she has been deprived of her rights and intereeta - by the instrumen tality of this same Union of States. Let no look calmly at the matter and see how we stand ; so long as we as aptate oppose the just rights and interests of Southern citizens, we need not expect them to be over anxious to assist us in securing ours, if we persist in fining and imprisoning their citizens for capturing their slaves by the only.. way they can be captured, in most parts of this State, (namely in a riotous and tumultuous manner) and if we. threaten our own citizens with fine and imprisonment for assisting the Federal officers in en forcing the laws that were enacted expressly to carry out the provisions of the Federal vonstihation, I say so long as we persist in this course, we should not justify our s Ives by saying that Pennsylvania has dose no act of aggression or - ot' intermeddling with the rights of her sister States. Opposition. I look upon the 95th and 96th sections of the 'revised Penal Code (which has been our policy for about fifteen years) as highly pernicious ; for if such legislation is not absolutely unconstitutional, it is worse than such, be cause were it unconstitutional it would be null and void, and consecinently could do no harm, but being so mery un friendly and unconrteous, and being in fail force and vir tae, it is well calculated' to bring about just such agitate of jealousy and controversy as exists at the present time be tween the northern and southern sections of our country. In my opinion except we of the north cleanse those stains from our escutcheon, the fraternal feeling of friendship and good will that existed between the States at the time of the revolution can never be'restered, nor can we *ex - peat a reunion with. those States, unless It be done with . the rod of the tyrant, such as that with which Ring George in vain tried to coerce the colonies in 1179,' and in this we may be no more successful than he. I think for the sake of the Union the northern States might well af ford to alter or repeal their so-called Liberty Bills, and even alter the Constitution, so as to make the rights of the southern States more explicit. But it strikes me Pennsyl vania and every State that is interested In the protection of Ainerican industry have a good opportunity at present to vindicate their own rights, and ought not let the chance go by without having the right fully recognized by the Constitution to have our interests protected ' against foreign competition in the manufacturing pod' producing interests. Near thirty years ago we were on the verge of -dissolu tion, because Congress persisted in continuing the tariff act which had been enacted to raise revenue to pay the expenses otalprevious war, and which tariff, notwithstand ing it was called a burdensome taxation, was clearly proven to have been the very measure that had brought our country to that high state of prosperity never ex perienced before its adoption, and I might say. Since its repeal; yet a portion of our country protested against it on the ground of its not being constitutional, and had not Congress altered the law we would assuredly have had a civil war at that time on account of 'that same principle. re Therefo I would say to'Pennsylvanlaus and all others interested in the protection of all kinds of American labor, and against the competition of foreign unpaid pauper labor, stand firm by the Constitution as Nis. We should rather suffer a dismemberment of the 'Union for a season, than grant to others all they desire, unless they will at the Same time assist in making our own rights more 'definite and secure. , O. A. SLLUMMELY, January, 25th,'18431. .»..........288 THE SEIZURE OF THE REVENUE CUTTER lIIPCLELLAND, VY AIMINGTON, Feb. 7. The following statement in relation to the surrender of the revenue cutter, Robert Mc Clelland, is derived from an official source : The cutter is one of the largest and best in the revenue service, just rebuilt and refitted. Her commander was Capt. Breshwood, of Virginia. On the 19th of January, four days after Secretary Dix took charge of the Treas ury Department, he sent Mr. Wm. Hemphill Jones, Chief Clerk in the Trust Comptrolleris Office, to New Orleans and Mobile, to save if possible the two cutters in service there. Capt. Morrison, a Georgian, commanding the Lewis Cass, at Mobile, must have surrendered her before Mr. Jones arrived. On. the. 29th of January the Secretary received the, follow. ing telegraphic despatch from Mr. Jones NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29, 1861. Hon. Tau A. Dix, Secretary of the Treasury : Captain Breshwood has refused positively, in writing, to. obey any instructions of the Department. In this I am sure he is sus— tained by the Collector, and I believe, acts by his advice. What must I do? W. H. JONES, Bpecial Agent. To this despatch Secretary Dix immediately returned the following answer: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, AR. 29, 1861. Wm. Hemphill Jone,s—Nets Orleans : Tell Lieut. Caldwell to arrest Capt.. Bresh• wood, assume _command of the Cutter, and obey the order through you. If Capt. A i Bra wood, after arrest, undertakes tointerfere with the command of the Cutter, tell Lieut. Caldwell to consider him as a mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If any one attempts to haul down the American tag, shoot him on the spot. Jowl; - A. Dix. -- This despatch, it is said, must have been intercepted both at Montgomery and New Orleans, and withheld from`the press. and doubtless the conduct. of Capt Breshwood was consummated by means of a complicity on the part of the telegraph line in the States .of Alabama and Louisiana, which latter State has accepted the cutter.

Her - alder States meet her this day at the women board. Vermont is here, bringing with her thwinemories of the past, reviving in - the memories of all, her Ethan Allen and his demand for the surrender of Ticonderoga, in the name of the Great Jehovah. and the American Congress. New Damp shire. is here7.ler &Me illustrated by, memorable annals, and still, more lately as the birthplace of him who won for himself the name of Defender of the Constitution, and who wrote that letter to John Taylor which has been enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen. Idassaohusetts •is not. here—(some member said, "she is coming ")—I hope so, said Mr. Tyler,and that she will bring with her her daughter Maine. I did not believe it could well be that the -voice which, in other times, was so familiar.to her ears, has been addressed to her in vain. Connecticut is here, and she comes, .1" doubt not, in the spirit of Roger Sherman. .. , , Rhode Island, the land of Roger Williams, hero, one of the two lait States, in her jealousy of the public liberty, to give in her adhesion to the Consti tution, and among the earliest to hasten to its rescue. The great Empire, State of New York—represented thus far but by one—delegates to-day a fuller force to join in the great work of healing the discontents of the times, and restoring the reign of fraternal feeling: New Jersey is also here, with the memories of the past covering her all over. Trenton and Princeton live immortal in story—the plains of the lest enerimsoned with the heart's blood of Virginia's sons. Among her delegation I rejoice to recognize a gallant son of a signer of the immortal Declaration which announced to the world that thirteen Provinces had become thirteen independent and sovereign States. : • . And here, too, is Delaware, the land of the Bayards and the Rodneys, whose soil at Brandywine was moistened by i the blood of Virginia's youthful Mon roe. Here s Maryland, whose massive columns wheeled into line with those of Virginia in the con test of glory, and whose State House at Annapolis was the theatre of a spectacle of. a successful com mander,_•wile, after liberating his country, gladly ungirthed his sword and laid it down upon the altar of that country. Then comes Pennsylvania, rich in revolutionary lore, bringing with her the deathless names of Franklin and Morris, and I trust ready to renew from the belfry of independence Hall the chimes of the old. bell, which announced Freedom and Indeloendenee in former days. All hail to North Carolina with her Mecklenbargh declaration in her hind, standing erect on the ground of her own probity . and firmness in the cause of pub lie liberty, and represented in her attributes by her Macon, and in this assembly by her distinguished sons at no great distance from me. Four daughters of Virginia also cluster around the council board, - on the invitation of their ancient mother, the oldest Rentuoky, whose.sons, under that intrepid warrior, Anthony Wayne,-gave freedoth of settlement to the territory of her sister, Ohio, and extending his hand daily and hourly across La Belle Riviera to grasp the hand of some one of kindred blood of the noble States of Indiana and Illinois - and Ohio, who have grown up into powerful States already grand, potent, and almost imperial. Tennessee is not here, but is coming—prevented from being here only by. the floods which have swol len her rivers. When she arrives she will wear the badges on her warrior crest of victories won, in com pany with the Great West, on many an ensanguined plain, and standards torn from the bands of the conquerors of Waterloo Missouri, and lowa and Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, still linger behind, but it may be hoped that their hearts are with us in the great work we have to do. The eyes of the whOle country are turned to this hall and to this assembly in expectation and, hope. I trust, gentlemen, that you may prove yourselves worthy of the great occasion. Our ancestors prob ably committal a blunder in not having fixed upon every fifth decade for a call of a general Convention to amend and reform the Constitution. On the con trary, they have made tho difficulty next to insur mountable to accomplish amendments to an instru ment which was perfect for five millions of people, but not wholly so to thirty millions. Your patriot ism will surmount the difficulties, however great, if you will but accomplish one triumph in advance, and that is triumph over party. What is party when compared to the task of rescuing one's country from danger? Do that, and one long, loud shout of joy and gladness will resound throughout the land. IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. PEACE, OR NO MONEY-THE TARIFF. ETC WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. It is estimated that over fifty millions of dollars will be required for Government ex— penses, unless there is a settlement of difficul ties during the six months commencing in March. Prominent bankers in all parts of the country are sending assurances to the leading Republicans that it will be impossible to raise this money unless the reasonable requests of the Border States are accepted, in which case they will pour out their money like water to aid and support the Government. Leading Republicans are among those who make these assurances. Robert P. King, of Pennsylvania, is here with a compromise petition. He was a Lin— coln elector, and says that the paper contains two thousand two hundred names of those Who voted for Lincoln, but are now in favor of the Crittenden amendment. The Presidentlas closed his correspondence with Col. Hayne, of South Carolina, and has sent it to Congress. It now remains for Con— gress to dispose of the question. A good many_Republictins are here, with others, expressing astonishment at the folly seen in attempting to pass a tariff bill at this time. Many of the provisions are prohibi— tions. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, and other Republi— cans, profess to see a decided prospect of an amicable adjustment. Judge Black's nomination was resisted yesterday in the Senate, by the Republicans.
