given to advertlisevs.
Ir Is so easy to object to any plan of conk-'
promise, which may be suggested in the pre
sent crisis, that those who content themselves
with 'antagonizing every means of reconcilia
tion• hnv,e, to' use Mr. Tnuntota eX
presider', indulged in "that cheapest and
thinnest hind 'of patriotism that costs no
thing."` 'the following resolution, almost
unanittiptisly radopted by the 'Virginia Legis
lature, enSaturday-last, after the appointment
of commissioners from that State to the Pre
sident and to Sriuth Carolina, and the recom
mendation 'of certain conciliatory measures,
is worthy of serious consideration, as indi
cating the course of the border slaveholding
States
Rpolved, That if all efforts to reconcile the un
happy differences between sections of our country
shall prove abortive, then every consideration of
honor and interest demands that Virginia shall
unite -her • destinies with her sister sleveholding
States.
From present appearances, the leaders of
the Republican party may be Bald to be united
against Mr. OBITIANDIWO propositions; yet it
will be observed that the Legislature of Vir
ginia, like her sisters of Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri, will close
on those propositions as the condition upon
which they will refuse to co-operate with the
oPen:enenlies of the Government. We can
well understand the difficulties that embarrass
the'Republican leaders. The Ron. Caisass
FRANCIS ADAMS, a member of the House Cora
mitten of Thirty.three, which closed its labors
a few days ago without coming,to an agree
ment, presents these difficulties in a Din
gle sentence, when he declares that a ma
jority of the slave State Representatives in
that body were not acting with any real pur
pose of reaching a satisfactory adjustment,
that three of the fifteen States refused to be
represented at all, and that seven more, mak
ing ten out of the fifteen, decided to reject
the conclusions of the Committee; and also,
that 'seven of these Representatives refused to
vote for a resolution declaring that " peaceful
acquiescence in the election of a Chief Magis
trate, accomplished in accordance with every
legal and constitutional requirement, Is a high
and imperative duty of every good citizen of the
United- States." After which, Mr. ADAMS
withdrew all his own propositions, and con
curred with his colleagues In the project that
no adjustment could take place.
But, while the Republican leaders are thin'
embarrassed, they should look below the sur
face, id:platforms, and individual records, and
attempt to dlicover the impulse and teachings
of the people they represent. We can also
appreciate the sensitiveness of the Republi
cans when they are called upon to surrender
to the arrogant demand of the Southern fire
eaters, that slavery is to be protected in the
public domain, irrespective of the popular
will. But Mr. Snzamin, in his bold impromptu
speech of Friday last, unconsciously disposed
of this apprehension by declaring that even
New Mexico, if to-morrow admitted under his
programme as a State of the Union, could
never become a slave State. This, too, must
be the fate of all future territory hereafter to
be organized into States, or acquired by the
Arierictui people.
In this view, the aotien of the Virginia Le
gislature, under the reso7T;lon above quoted,
is worthy of the serious consideration of all
party leaders in the free States.
There is - ono duty, however, to the dia.
charge of which -the Republican loaders
should - imniediately address themselves, and
to which we believe them to be fairly com
mated, and that is, to repeal all the personal
liberty bills en-their statute•book, whether
they may be called obstructive of the fugitive
slave act in terms or by 4 1 implication." A
few days ago an enthusiastic meeting was held
in the flourishing town of Cumberland,-Alle
gheny county, Maryland, at which certain re
solutions were adopted. They were regarded
as so expressive of devotion to the Constitu
tion and the Confederacy, as to be denounced
by the Baltimore Sun as savoring of Republi
canism, or rather Abolitionism.
We copy two of these resolutions, to show
the temper of the meeting:

plitriOttsil 'of its heroes, has lon the admiration
of ointiaed world, and under its wise prowl.,
slum the American people have become the most
free,: prosperous, and enlightened on the face of
the earth; and as we believe the continuance of
our prosperity and national greatness depends on
the
,pteservation of the Union, we will con

arid-feel it due to the past, present, and fetus that
we should hold the same inviolate, and transmit it
unbroken and undissevered to our children as the
palls/11min of their politleal safety.
.ilastolved, That, while we feel that the South
ern ititates of the Union havejust right to oomplain
of ebb growing hostility of the Northern people to
thetilaseitutions, and of the enactment, by various
States, of what are known u personaMiberty
laws," whioli we believe to be in violation of the
Constitution,
and of the sacred obligations which
those States owe to our ockninon country ; and
althoggh 'Maryland, bordering. on and separated
only by an imaginary line from one of these Mateo
which have tius violated one of - her obligations,
hat more cause than any one of her sister Mates to
complain of this unfriendly legislation, yet we
believe that the proper remedy for these evils
and aggressions Is within the Union, and not out
side of it."
We are permitted to make an extract from
a letter written by a distinguished citizen who
participated in this meeting, addressed to a
resident of Philadelphia:
,6 The feeling in Western Maryland is strong for
the Oaten.. Oar meeting was the largest ever held
in the mineral regions of this Rate. If you Pane
',lranians would only repeal certain 'oath= of
your law of 1847, it would save us. It would show
that you have some regard for the Union men in
this !Ace. Although it le nothing in itselfyei our
people look upon them us hostile, and if they are
repealed they would do everything in the cause of
the 'Onion; and would enable us of the border slave
b tate, to fight back the enemies of the Gauntry. If
you do not, all of as will sink, and the conspirators
will carry the popular feeling with them."
. Surely, here is a text upon which every pa
triotic man of every party, in the Legislature
and out of it, should not only talk but act, and
act out.
The "Wild Runt for Office."
It is stated by one of our cotemporaries
that there were one thousand and seventy-tive
applicants for the twenty appointments which
Goverier_Onarne has recently made, and this
is but a , slight indication of the tremendous
pressure which may be expected after the in
auguration of Mr. Wools. One of the moat

and was buried fn New York. seven cities

One report declares that she was born, at
Montrose, a Scottish seaport, In 1818; that
her father was a British officer named Grr..-
BLIT, and that her mother was a beautiful
Creole. Again, in a letter to a London paper
from herself, it was stated te I was born at Se
ville, in 1823; my father was an officer in the
service of DON ()elutes ; my mother, of Irish
descent, was born in Havana ; my name is MA•

journal, Ze Pays, she said, st MI father was an
Irish gentleman, son of Lady GILBERT,
and of the Duke of —. At the
age of twenty, ho was captain in the
44th regiment of infantry.- My mother
called herself OLIVERRES DE MONTAl,oo—fin
illustrious family which recognizes as its
founder a young Moorish soldier, who had ab
jured Paganism. From him, perhaps, comes
that ardent vivacity which distinguishes me.
My mother fell in love with Captain GILBERT
when she was in a convent in Ireland, ran
away with him, and became his wife on the
banks of the Tagus. I was christened MARIA-
DoLoau-Exatt&-RosAnsg GILBERT . . My mo
ther, who loved the world too much to pay
much attention to me, confided me to the
care of an Irish wet-nurse. Wo went to the
East Indies with my father, who continued in
the army, and my first years were spent in
Hindostan."
Her last account, published in her Lectures,
as autobiographical, declares that she was born
In the city of Limerick in 1824—the real date,
she told the writer of thin, was 1822. Her
father was son of Sir EnwAan and Lady eIL
BEAT, the last being ono of the loveliest
women ocher time. Lout's own mother was
a Mils Ordvaa, of Castle Oliver, in the county
of Limerick. LOLA claims her to come from
the noble house of Olivier°, Counts of Mon
talvo—a descent wholly in nubibus, we be
lieve. There is no doubt, however, that Miss
°trims was her mother. About 1826, Cap
tain Gummier died in India, his widow
being only eighteen, and his friend Cap
tain Cam= married the mourning and
beautifhl relict. Soon after, little LOLA
was sent, at the age Of six years, to be
brought up by her step-father's family, at
Montrose,.of which city her father had been
Provost for nearly twenty-five years. After
a time, when Captiin CRAG= had risen to bo
Quartermaster General in India, Lora was re
moved to London, and adopted into the family
of General Sir Jeanne Morons, with whose
daughter she was educated—in London, in
Paris, and finally, in Bath. At the ago of 14,
she was claimed by her mother, who intended
marrying her to Sir Annarma LUMLEY, Judge
of the Supreme Court of India—rich, gouty,
and sixty. LOLA protested, and prevented
that marriage by running away with Captain
J.txze, a dashing officer, of twenty-seven.
They went to Ireland, from Batb, but no
clergyman would perform the marriage cere
mony, the lady being too young. At last, the
mother reluctantly consented, but would not
attend the wedding. And eo, Lora philo
sophically added, st in flyiug from that mar
riage with ghastly and gouty old age, the child
lost her mother, and gained what proved to be
only the outside shell of a husband, who had
neither a brain which she could respect, nor a
heart which it was possible for her to love."
The newly-wedded went back to India, where
“the shell of a husband" soon eloped with a
friend's wife. Lora was then sent back to
the Caaarra in Scotland, but, on arriving in
London, refused to go to them, and went to
FANNY KILLY to learn to be an actress. She
spoke English too badly for this, she says, so
she studied to become a danseuse, and went
to her relations (7), the MONTALTO family, in
Spain. Thence, she says, she returned to
London, where, is March, 1848, she made an
unsuccessful debut, as a Spanish dancer, at
her Majesty's Theatre. Before and after that
debut, however, she had danced on the stage
of the Theatre de la Porte Saint Martin.
Subsequently to her English failure, she
danced at Dresden and Berlin, and finally at
Warsaw, St. Petersburgb, and Munich. Re
turning to Paris, she became engaged to mar
ry the eminent Journalist, Du/Anima, but his
death, in a duel with M. BEAUVAI.LON, pre
vented it. Next, she went to Bavaria, where
the old King Lours took a great fancy to her,
giving her a palace, estate, and peerage, and
making her his confidential adviser in politics.
His aim was to driie the Jesuits from power,
but they were too strong for her, and she had
to fly for her life, losing title and estates—the
latter equal to $25,000 a year.
The remainder of her life, chiefly passed in
this country, is sufficiently well known. She
arrived here in 1850, and attempted dancing
and acting, without -much success. In 1867
she hit upon what indeed was a golden vein—
she became a lecturer, and certainly the mat
ter and manner of her discourses were alike
admirable.
A few months sip she was attacked with
paralysis, which ended in death. Tho cause
of this attack remains to be related, and wo
ihallinention it brio. When LOLA went to
Calibrate as - an - actress, she engaged an agent.
This'gentleman was a married man, with two
children, and seeing him. unhappy In their
absence, she presented him with sufficient
money to bring them and their mother on.
Shortly after their arrival, the husband died.
Lout then adopted the widow and orphans—
educating the latter at Mrs. WILLAIM'S semi
nary at Troy. An officer in the United states
navy fell in love with one of these girls, and
Lora., literally acting in Theo parents, ap

to • England, the marriage took place.
Lou. did not again encounter her

a distant State, where he was detailed for pub

"Madam," she exclaimed, as she turned cold

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Lotter from " Occasional."
Norreapandanoe of Tho Puma
WASIIIN6TON, Jan. 20, 1861.
The Senate remained in session until a late hour
yesterday afternoon, discussing the Rouse bill, ad
mitting Kansas into the family of States. All the
amendments wore rejected, and it is not doubted
that on Monday we shall have a now sister at the
fireside of our Confederacy. Judge Douglas won
new laurels during this dismission, displaying all
his characteristic ability, and refuting every objeo
tion that could be raised against the bill. Strange.
ly enough, the very men who aro complaining
that the Northern States refused to make any
conoossione, apd who affect to deplore the
excited feeling now pervading and controlling
the people of the South, are most notivo in resisting
the admission of Kansas, when they know that she
is not only entitled to it by population—by the fact
that she has adopted her Constitution, cleated her
member of Congress, Mr. Conway, and is pre
pared to assume all the obligations of sovereignty—
but that the people of the free States have been
wrought up to great exasperation by the persistent
refusal to allow her to enter the Union But have
these conaiderations operated at all upon the Be
ceseloniste In the Senate? On the contrary,
look at the large vote thrown in steppert of
every amendment offered yesterday and Friday,
for the purpose of embarrassing the question.
Among those most prominent in this business, I
notice Senators like Bright and Fitch, of Indiana,
Bayard and Saulsbury, of Delaware, Green and
Polk, of Missouri, Powell of Kentucky, Kennedy
and Pearce, of Maryland, Nicholson of Tennessee,
and Gwln of California. All these noon have
prated about the refusal of the Republicans to
offer or accept terms of compromise, and yet, on a
vital question like the admission of Kansas—a
question which has aroused more bad feeling in the
country than any that has divided parties for the
last thirty years—a question in which the whole
argument is with the friends of Kansas—a question
which disposed of would go far to reconcile differ.
eases and to calm the public mind—we find these
very men contending as bitterly against Kansas as
they did when she came before Congress during
the celebrated Looompton struggle and under the
English bill. And how, in Heaven's name, is peace
to be restored between the sections when irritation
to continued and injustice maintained by those who
put themselves forward as the conservators of the
nubile interests, and as the truest friends of the
Union? Happily, however, all the Democrats in
the Senate do not follow their example Judge
Douglas boldly takes the load, and Is heartily sus
tained by Latham, of California, Bigler, of Penn
sylvania, Pugh, of Ohio, and I believe, by Thom
song of New Jersey.
The moment the Rouse bill passes the Senate,
and is signed by the President, Mr. Parrott, the
present Territorial delegate, will retire, and give
way to Mr. Conway,' who has been elected the Re
presentative, and has been waiting for months for
the purpose of assuming the duties of that posi
tion.
The next step of the Legislature of the new
State will bo to cleat two United States Senators.
My earnest hope is that Hon. Frederick P. Stan
ton will be one of these Senator!). He is now in
this city, where he has been doing all in his power
to secure she admission of Kansas. There are a
number of aepiranto, but I think none would be so
useful to the people of Kansas as Mr Stanton. Ile
served some ten or twelve years in the popular
branch of Congress, as a Representative from Ton
nooses, and is, therefore, thoroughly experienced
to assume the higher position ivhioh I trust is in
store for him. Ido not know anywhere a more
conservative, courageous, and consistent states
man. He is a fine speaker, a thorough bred gen
tleman, an ardent advocate of popular rights, pro
foundly versed in the whole science of government,
and fully cognizant of the peculiar interests of the
people of Kansas, and would make a moat efficient
and popular Senator. It is presumed that Mr.
Parrott, the late delegate, and a thoroughbred
gentleman, will be Mr. Stanton's colleague.
From what I have been able to hear, a very
exalting and aorimoniotts debate took place in the
Senate, in secret session, on Friday, upon the no
mination of the Hon. Joseph Holt, by the Presi
dent, for the position of Secretary of War. The
venerable Crittenden, of Kentucky, led the way,
and made ono of his most fearless speeches. He
shamed the Secessieniete for their inflammatory
and infatuated course; he appealed to them to
remember that they were taking a fatal step; and
did not hesitate to tell them, in very distinct !
terms, `that he did not believe this Union Could be
broken up ; that the lams must be executed and
enforced, and that all who attempted to resist them
must be punished accordingly. Mr Crittenden
bore the loftiest tribute to Mr. Molt's capacity and
patriotism, as did Messrs. Bigler, Douglas, and
others. Mr. Slidell le quoted as baring been es
pecially vindictive in hie allusions to Mr. Bolt.
Even the President did not escape the severe
comments of the Senator from Louisiana. I un
derstand that ho did not use the seine emphatic
epithets in regard to the Executive that ho em
ployed in reference to Mr. Holt, yet that hie man
ner and hie tone, when speaking of him, ware ex
ceedingly contemptuous. All would not do, how
ever. There were enough patriotic men to stand
by the nomination of the President Honest Jo
seph Holt is at present firmly seated in the position
so utterly disgraced by John B. Floyd. The
friends of the country " breathed freer and
deeper" when the result was known. They felt
that we had a Government at last, and that that
Government was about to be sustained in the only
department of the National Legislature which, up
to a recent period, it hoe hem so weak. Senator
Bigler deserves great credit for his industry and
zeal in supporting Mr.Holt'a nomination.
I cannot believe it possible that Mr. Buohanan
contemplates a veto of the Pacific Railroad bill
now pending before the Senate, and yet that he
does so is gravely and positively asserted by soma
who assume to know. At a moment when the eno ,
oess of this great improvement would do so mud)
to strengthen and perpetuate the Union ; at a
moment when Arkansas, Texas, and other States
that threaten to secede, may be held within the
Confederacy by its speedy consummation; at a
moment when the people of Oregon, California,
and Washington, and all oar intermediate Terri-
Writer, are looking with intense anxiety for the
fulfilment of their ardent anticipations in this re
spect—what motive can the President find for
putting himself in the way„and for throwing over
Into the new Alministration a measure of such
vital and sublime importance ? You will remem
ber that, in the Presidential campaign of 1856,
Mr. Baohanan wrote a letter to California ) ih
which he pledged himself to aid the project, in
the event of his election, of a railroad to
the Pacific. Much stress was laid upon
this letter. It did not return to the Attend),
States until just after the November struggle, and
It was unsparingly" denounced in the South as
something of a trick ; but whether a trick or net,
it was a pledge that cannot be avoided, especially
in view of the letting and incalculable benefits
that must result from the passage of the bill now
before the Senate. lam disposed to believe,
therefore, that he will not assume the reeponsi-
Witty of flying in the face of his oWn promise, and
of disappointing the prayers of the millions
tereeted in this Magnificent enterprise.
I wish I could send you good news in reference
to the Morrill tariff bill, which is to come up for
discussion on Wednesday next, but I fear that it
is not destined to pass before the fourth of Maroh.
General Cameron is doing herculean service to this
measure, but notwithstanding the recent thermion
of certain Southern Senators, I cannot count a
certain majority in favor of the bill. But let us
hope for the beet.
The friends of Mr. Speaker Penningten intend
presenting his name to Mr. Lincoln for a leading
foreign minion. Although this venerable citizen
has been somewhat sharply criticized since his
election as Speaker of the Bouts, by hie political
opponents, no one could be more personally pox
pular. His many excellent qualities of head
and heart, his genial nature, hie generosity,
and his patriotism, admirably fit him to re
present his country at a foreign Court, and I dO net
doubt that one of Mr. Lincoln's first trots will be to
recognize his claims upon the consideration of the
Republican party, In his late canvas)) for re
election in the Newark (New Jersey) district, he
ran several thdusand votes ahead of his ticket, and
was supported by hie former political adversa
ries.
Two of the Representatives from Cincinnati have
spoken within the last week—Mr. Gurley, Re
publican, and Mr. George 11. Pendleton, Demo
crat. The latter, a highly accomplished gentle
man of Virginia extraction, and Maryland oonne,3-
tion by marriage, made a forcible speech on the
Southern side, greatly to the surprise and regret of
many of his friends. It was this effort that called
out Mr. Shannon, the chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, on Friday, in the earnest and
impassioned defence of the Union, which has been
much discussed. Mr. Gurley, the Republican,
clearly got the advantage of his colleague in his
speech on the 16th. Ile took the high ground that
the Government mutt be maintained, and that all
such theories as secession or peaceful separation
must give way to this great primary consideration.
My intelligence leads me to assert and believe
that the feeling of the people of Ohio was faith
fully reflected by the resolutions of the Legisla
ture of that State, pledging the resources and
ratans of the State to the support of the Adminis
tration in all proper efforts to execute the laws,
and, therefore, that Mr. Gurley will be heartily
and enthusiastically endorsed by his constituents.

first appearance was in a play called " Suspense,"
taken from a French drama. In some loss im
portant pieces he played even better than
in this, we are informed. His great success,
however, was in "Cur American Cousin at
Homo,"—written expressly for him by Charles
Gaylor, of New York. The original " American
Cousin," an every one knows, is improbable and ex
travagant to a degree—but yet sufficiently amn•
sing. In Mr. Gaylor's piece, the fon la " faat and
fnrlone," through three stets:-jokes era fired off
in volleys, all through, and the audience cannot
help laughing for a oouple of hours, at the succes
sion of puns and quips—good, bad, and indifferent.
The feet is, a good bad pun is a great deal more
mirth exciting than a good good one. Mr. Gaylor
is a dramatist of ability and very-tility,—whatever
he writes has the stamp of originality upon it.
Mr. &there, we are told, doubled the parts of Lord
Dundreary and his brother, with marvellous ra

be repeated this evening, and ought to run through
the whole week.
Mr. McDonough is evidently striving to make
his " Olymplo Theatre " in Race street, rival
and revive the glories of the late William
Mitchell's theatre in Now York. Ile dosed it
all through this week, in order to make adequate
preparations for the production of The Seven
Sisters," that most gorgeous speataele-piece which
has filled Laura Keene's Theatre for months past,
and still draws crowded houses. Mr. Randall, the
machinist, who came from London expressly to
bring out this piece in New York, has bcon busy
at McDonough's Olympic. for several weeks,
making preparations there, and Mr. Robert Jones,
a dramatist, (of whom, by the way, we never
heard before,) brut localised it for this city, so as
to allow of the presentation of appropriate scenery
representing public buildings, !co , well known to
Philadelphians. "The Seven Sisters" will be
performed, for the first time, next Saturday eve
ning, in a manner even superior to that which has
made it so attractive in New York.
The Southern, or anti-Mrs. Beecher-Stowe, ver
sion or" Uncle Tom's Cabin," at Sanford's, in
which Mr. Sanford, author of the piece, plays the
part of Uncle Tom, will be played every night thi s

sequence of the great rush of visitors since its first
presentation.
Van Ambnrgh's Zoological Institute, neat the

Minority Report of the Committee of
Thirty-three.
WAtinnictron, Jan. 20 —The minority report
from the Committee of Thirtythree, signed by
Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, Mr. Rust, of Arkansas,
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, Mr. Whiteley, of Dela
ware, and Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina,
bm
braaos the following arguments and recommenda
tions :
The changes which have taken place in the sltua ,
tion and sentiments of the people of the different
States since thb formation of the Constitution have
been such that, through the misconstruction of
some of its provisions, and the wilful perversion
of others, and the introduction of new prinoiples
in the formation of parties, which are in direct
antagonism to the usages and opinions of the whole
American people when the Constitution Trent into ef
fect, that that instrument boa ceased to accomplish
some of the most important ends aimed at by its
adoption. The differences between the Northern and
Southern Footions of the Confederacy, from this
cause, have at lost risen to such a height that they
have resulted in the formation of a sectional party,
which has elected a sectional President, and de
sign excluding the Southern people from any voice
in the management of the national affairs in which
they have a common interest with their Northern
brethren; and that, as this feet, notwithstanding
the republican forms of the Constitution are pre
served, in troth destroys the epirit of republican
ism in the Government, it is, therefore, impossible
that the two sections should any longer go on toga.
tiler as one people, unless the existing gate of
things is removed. The report proceeds to ray
that, the present difficulties can only be remedied
by amendments to the Constitution, and suggests
that the amendments proposed in the Crittenden
resolutions, if adopted, would restore tranquillity
to the country, and pace the Union on each a
foundation that it could never again be shaken.
These amendments, the report asserts, would not
in reality change the Constitution. They would
only have the effect of restoring it, by the added
provisions, to what it was, in point of fact, on the
day of its adoption, through the operations of the
circumstances which then surrounded it, and which
erected barriers against the present sectional con
tests, as the constitutional provisions would now.
If a constitutional majority cannot be united in
support of the Crittenden resolutions, or the sub
stance of them, then a dissolution of the Union Is
inevitable.
The report recommends that steps be taken for the
calling of a Convention of the States, with the view
of a peaceable separatism by providing for a par
tition of tho common property of the United States,
settling the terms on which the social and ()am
monia), intemourse between the separated States
shall be conducted, and making a permanent ar
rangement with respect to the navigation of the
Mississippi river.
The report gives what the signers of it consider
a fall account of the rise and progress of the sla
very agitation which has produced the existing
difficulties.

The revolutionary authorities of South Carolina
have entirely changed their policy, and aro now
striving to prevent and avoid the collision in
Charleston harbor they were evidently striving to
precipitate up to very recently. It is believed
that this change of their tactics is the remit of
the growing desire of the people of South Caro
lina for a settlement o of the ditnoulties without the
permanent destrUotion of the Union; and that It
means that the revolutionary authorities of that
State are acting under the advice of leading sym
pathizers with their cause in other States ' making
it plain to them that their late apparent desire to
rush the country Into civil war was rapidly uniting
the conservatives of every Southern State, as well
as the whole North, without distinction of party,
against the nominal cause of the South as repre
sented by South Carolina.—Washington Star.
