A - few weeki since an anonymous no. tics appeared in the Montrose Republicais, stating that a meeting of friends of the Ccinstitution and Union would be held at Montrose on the eve. ofJan.-2let. No other paper was asked to print the notice, and when loading men of the Republican petty were asked as to - what position was to be taken, they evaded a direct reply; and refused to consult With Democrats, or to make or receive any propositions to the end that the meeting waii not to be strict ly partisan. Stich Demociati-as attended, expected, therefore, to be excluded from - participation. The meeting was called to -order by G. B. Eldred; who named 0. G. Rempetead as chairman. Other officers having been selected, the Chair appointed 41kert,Chamberlin, John F. Deans, and thirteen others, to report resolutions. All the persons connected with the affair, so far, were radical Republicans and John Brown-worshipping-Abottionists. A war speech from B. S. Bentley came next in order, after which Mr.. ,Chamberlin read a long series of resolves, which contained eireral warlike, •shim:ire, end untenable points; in one of which the sectional hate of the author had not only made him ad vocate the subjugation of the South to a territorial condition, but admitted, by an unavoidable inference, the legality of ,se= cessionl The Obairwas about to rush the whole batch of:resolves througlimithout any de bate, when, te"the utter chagrin of the in side clique, W. S.Wilmarth rose and be,. gin a speech against the •idoption of the report! A.Aesperate attempt was at once made by the managers to prevent him ffrom speaking, but a large proportion of The audience 4soon demonstrated in an un mistakable way that iraasecursca SHOULD BE ror.sninm, and the clack.eftheaChair; as well as the hissing of Rev. jolin.Brown Deans was finally silenced, Mr. Wilmartb said that he was proud of laving voted for Lincoln and Hamlin, and would do so - again; that be was opposed to secession, or to compromise with secessionists; that he believed the government could only be maintained by peace; that the truer Un ion men in the border slave states liboald by rnet as brothers; that - the watliketone bf the resolutions Was calculated - to hasten secession, and. drive the wholeSonth into revolution, and to divide . the-Union. fife was opposed to hasty measures of a war like character; .and believed that the only trueAbourge for the North seas toes O ciliate the friends-of theLb' 2ion.at theSoutb, and thus save the country; ss&e oti y result Of an inconsiderate belligerent and abu sive attitude would be to doom this :Un ion to certain destruction. His positions • were - well taken and fully sustained, and prodned apowerful effect upon the which manifested its approtal of his remarks by frequent and hearty plause. 'When he closed, the-peat up volcanoes tif abelifoniere burst forth wiltemore. than usual fury. Several Millsefites sou:girt - the Hoer to rent' their vile bate which they.had been compelled, in part, to snip• ther, while writhing under a peace-loving,. arid Union speech. One after another they vomited forth their sectional fury; and 4.lorgetting that it hadviot•been called as, a " - Republican ". seeefing,linfintellin more than customary abuse of the •South,.con parftig-the people to an Organization of borseithieves and criminals. (So did Hel per.) M.

Bet Sire eon 8.. Chase got' the floor, prevented any -one from - speaking, and the fire-eaters cooled pfcfrom sheer exhaustion. Later in the evening, L. F. Fifth proposed,. as no Democrat had 'participated, be would yield_the floor to - any one who wished to make remarks; whereupon A. J. Gerritson accepted the favor, end stated that as .- General Jackson had been eulogized con ' isiderably during the evening, be would, in lieu of any remarks, request that a gen ' nine and correct extract from the old he- . vu's Farewell Address; which was in the lands ofthe officers of the meeting, be seed. Had the Charleston rebels pro posed to throw' a bomb-shell into the very Est of the clique that_ surrounded the Chair, it could not have produced _ greater consternation, or been met with a more frantic resistance. It sounded very well to brag about Gen. Jackien, but when the reading of hie Farewell Address Was called for, it became evident that the friends of the hero of New • Orleans -were all outside the ring. Every possible trick I was resorted to in the vain attempt to jc;ct the ,proposition—O. G.

The' auditory hiving mostly left, tho• report was again read, and after a deal of strik ing-out and patching, it was, adopted— luny, if niA all of the moat ,offensive points, haVing, as near as could - be judged from the jtimbled considerations and re• considerations, been stricken out. As we have not yrt seen the corrected' resolu tions, we cannot give an accurate' idea of their import; bat should they deserve, they. will receive ample ventilation. --Since the above was in type, +refiner received a portion of the resolutions which were adopted,ind a list of the officers and oommittee. Why not send all to is r • (coilsturaczyrre.) - As the times" are cons idered perilous so, far as the preservation of the Union is con cerned, ought not every friend of his coun try to be *Mktg to do all he can, " and fet others use all means in their power to allay strife, and bring order out of confusion, in ' stead of arraying brother against brother? This quer7 calls to mind the 'Union meet- ing' held m your town _last week." Some who were present may consider it &grand yuccas; hnt many, to my certain knowl edge, believe that the speeches were of a chatacter the most shameful, and for the pretendedl'union meeting,' most contemp tible.* If it had been called to organize-a John Brown raid, a sensible man would have. expetedsjiist, such speeches as were made Bros. Post, .Chase, Jessup, Chain ' berlin, an 4 others. The epithets of Hel per and I,fivejoy; as applied to our South , ern- br,ethren seem mild and tame, beside those usedby these new union savers; and Bro. Post,' to.the great joy of some, said it was the duty of clergymen to preach politics anti abolitionism. Then there was the letter of Judge TY ler., in the Democrat—perfectly inoffensive --yet containing some . plain truths and Ingestions, and - patnotie sentiments. , Instead of being noticed, manlike, if at all, "by Bro. Read and his num, they stoop to 131aciliguardism, and talk about knocking •desia, etc. The Judge needs no backing by , nze.or any one else. He has risen by hon "-esti:industry from the "poor mill boy," as 'ie -was called onr tospi, to an enviable position in society.

Mir The New York Tribune professes to have payitive intelligence that it is the intention of the" rebel leadere" .of South. Carolina, to attack-Fort Sumter, with all their forces as soon as their envoy, Col. Irayne, returns from Washington. We don't know how it is possible for the Tri bune to obtain accurate information -mi. to the secret intentions of the authorities of South Carolina, without it shares the counsels and is in league with the revo lutiOnists. In' this conspiracy to break up the Union, there are two partiei at work—the sectssioniits and their North ern alders and abettors, who work togeth er harmoniously in endeavoring . to drive the border States into the disunion niove ment. The secessionists are opposed to compromise, because itwould have ,the effect of detatchingthe border States from them-4nd the Tribune party are dead-set against concession because it might deter these 'States from secession. Hence the single purpose and• good understanding between the South Carolinians and the Tribune Abolitionists. • -; • r4'Livie Rhode 'shwa repeOed brrilierson:dkLilwrtv Walhington Intelligence., Jan., Hunter from the Commit toe on Fiqance, reported the - .lndian .Ap propiiation bill, and asked to be 'excused frese further service on the Finance Com mittee. He said it !was evident that the party in the majority in the Senate would soon be changed, and he thought justice to hithsolf, and the ,Senate required him to be excused. ' [Mr, Hunter has been Chairinaa-of the Committee of Fintmee fif teenlyears.] He was excused. Mr. Bigler presented. petitions !asking the passage of theCrittendee resolutions. Laid on the table. ' • Mr. Polk' presented a petition of citi zens! of Missouri, the signatures occupying fifteen quires of foolscap, wrapped in , an American flag, inscribed "Love to the North, South, st and West," asking the pasiage of the Crittenden resolutions. . Laid on the table. Senate today Niaii,the theatre of a spectacle most painful in all its display, and one which made the profoundest im pression upon the public mind. The Senator from , Mississippi (Mr. Davis,) who so gallantly - led the Missis sippi Reginent amid the bloody defiles of Buena . Vista, bid adieu, in terms so soleni, so sincere as to draw .tears from many an eye. . Finally in parting from - those around him he could say that be felt no hostility to any Senator. There was not one of them but in the presence of God he could sayi "I wish you well." He hoped,' and he was sure his people hoped, that the relations of peace might be continued, though they had to part. He carried away with him no bitterness of feeling for any offense that had been offered to him, and if he -had offended any one be - wati willing now in the - hourof parting to viler an apology for doing so and make alt the reparation in his power. . The two Senators from Alabama,. who have held the highest positions in the State, and who bare been long members of gongress—Messrs. Clay and Fitzpatrick —also joined "in the-adieu," and made their Farewell Address. Then came, the Senators from Florida, Ynlee and Mallory—both eminent and able men 2 -and both of whom have done their country high service here. Mallory wall a Northern man, and has ever been a de.tj,oted friend (Attie United States Navy, and of all the commercial interests that Na i 7 'iris, created to protect. - As the Senators from Florida,, Alabama. and Mississippi were about to retire all theDemocratid Senators crowded around andshook hands With them.

The Crittenden resolutions were then taken up. Air.,Bigler'proceeded to speak at length in favor of their passage. He claimed that it was a right of the States to amend the 'Constitution. He then refered to the rise of the country from thirteen small States to its present greatness—to the danger in which it now stands of disrup tick and ruin, and to the events that have added exasperation to exasperation in both sections, and until the South have come to the belief that their only safety lies in eternal separation. He then refered to the compromise of 1820, which gave peace -to the country till 1850, when 1 another compromise was effected. Then the Anti-Slavery party sprang.up, and our tronbles began. The raid of John' Brown upon Virginia; the endorsement of the Helper book, the doctrine of the irrepres sible *Conflict and abuse of the Southern people followed, until at last a President was elected who affirmed and pro Claimed , the*e doctrines. Now South Carolina, Mnicissippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida hake seceded from the Union. Such is the distracted condition Of the country, and our mission now should be to restore peace. Mr. Bigler then proceeded to argue the necessity and propnety of a convention of the people to, adopt amendments to the Constitution. He urged Senators on the other side to consider the necessity of , passing these or-similar resolutions. In reply to arguments against these resoln tionshe would say that these are extraor diriart times and demand extraordinary measures. He earnestly appealed to the Southern States to panne and consider if they could not obtain their rights in the Union. He claimed that the Territories ought tole opened to all the people of all the it. States.. ates.. -The country most maintain the Constitution and accept the meaning of /he tribunal which has a right to ex pound . It was * fatal day to the country- when a sectional party was formed. Disguise it as we ,may, the Republican party has for its basis hostility to slavery. One of the great difficulties is the abuse and in sult heaped, on the Southern people.' They declared war against secession, and yet believed redress for the alleged grievances should be sought at the hands of all the people. believed the laws should be -maintained on this point. He agreed with the Senator from Illinois (Douglas), yet how could we coerce a State ? It would be war against fifteen States. Coercion was delusion. ; He referred to the the troubles which fall mostly on the - Border States,' and closed by expressing fidelity to his own State. . . Mr. Cameron said he should not make a speech, for though his colleague repre sented a great State' and'offereil an olive branch of pekoe, yet Senators on the other aide would not listen and respond. The people of that great State would do any thing-to save the J.Triion. He was inclined to vote for the propoulthla of his collcare, and would do all -he could to save the Union. - Mr. Iverson asked if the Senator ap proved of his colleague's speech. Mr. Cameren- , -Wery mach; and I say to the Senator, if it will save the iountry, I will vote for the proposition of my col league. . r. ,Saulsbury said he wished to say that the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cameron) had manifested 'a spirit of pa triotism and devotion to the country and to the Union which he thought all might imitate. . . -Mr. Cameron—l say to the' Miator from. Georgia and, all gentlemen, that, if they will Like the proposition of my colleague, I will vote, for it and we will pass it. • Mr. Iverson asked if he (Cameron) ap- proved of the sentiments of his colleague against coercion. That is the point. Mr. Cameron—Coercion is the Jest rem edy to which I would resort. • Mr. Green—ls it a remedy at all? Mr. Cameron—lt is a bad remedy. I do not know dot j ever would resort to it. Certainty it is the last remedy to which I would resort.

We .are accustomed to place sa cred praise among the highest interests of the church, as a means ofgrace ' we esteem it as important, and'noless a duty, than prayer. We wish it understood that we speak of actual spiritual praise,—we make a marked distinction between "sensation al singing," and acceptable praise, be tween merely "musical emotion " and sa cred devotion; and we would beg leave to urge upou.all, the great 'importance of keepinn. e . this distinction always in view; fur not by " musical emotion" merely, but by active heartfelt exercises towards God is the soul benefited and God glorytied. Viewed in thisqight, sacred praise becoms a powerful means of elevating and sa ting men. And we esteem all . Who la bor to extend these views and practices,. as coworkers with us in dispensing the blessings of the Gospel of Grace. 2d. We regard it the'dnty of all who can sing acceptably, to join in the songs of the sanctuary ; for the word of God says, " sing unto the Lord all the earth."— Hence to understand the importance of ` sacred praise, and neglect' to cultivate our musical talents, according to the opportu nities God has given us, is both an im measurable loss and a sin—exposing us to the condemnation A* unfaithful stewards. 3d.
