The measure may have tbe intended effect lo in duce the hesitating Democrats, or those in favor of them to go for the Senate bill, with tome very unimportant modifications. The movement is to be censidered aa a peace offering to the Douglas Democrats. Mr, Stephens o (.ieorgia, who took the lead in tl, stated that his great desire was to preserve tbe party intact. Mr. Stephens is on tbe same polit ical ground with Mr. Toombs, and it is known that the latter Ins used his influence to prevent a breach between the party and Mr. Douglas. Something favorable to the interest of the coun try will grow out of this attempt at conciliation. At matters have stood lor a wtelc past, there has been no certainty that the House would bring the question to an issue in anyway, nor neither the Senate bill nor the Crittenden bill nor any other plan had a clear majority. The Committee have had a consultasion and made some progress towsrda the object in view.

Tbe editor of the Sunbnry Gazette, like the old woman who looked through the wrong end of tbe.telescope, is eternally making some marvellous and wonderful discoveries. One of the last of these is that General Cameron did not vote on tbe Lecompton Constitution, and has, therefore, grown cool on the subject' and that we "will feel it our duty to chill also." Without pretending to know what tbe present feelings of General Cameron are, we bave only to say if they are half as cool us the impudent assurance of the Gazette, we would not be surprised to find bim Toting even for Lecompton. In regard to our own feelings being chilled perhaps tbe best answer to the Gazette woold be to refer the in to tbe editorial correspon dence in the last "American," on tbe subject of the Lecompton Swindle. When Qenerej Cameron votes or favors the Lecompton Con stitution, we shall expect to find consistency and independence in tbe Gazette, and some sign of fixed principles in its editor, a contin. gency about at probable as the ascension of tbe Millerites. The editor of the Gazette has been so long nnder leading strings, that be would hardly know bow to appreciate inde pendence of thought or action if he were even unharnessed and unbridled by those who con trol bis movements, ilence be as naturally looks up to a "boss," as a nursling does to its mother, and childlike, imagines that all others do the same. General Cameron paired off with a sick friend which save the necessity of Lis appear ing in tbe Senate Chamber and which doe not alter the result. BASK OK I-KNNeYLVANlA.

Jomm' IloTtu Philadelphia, 1 March 30, 1858. . J In looking over the last Sunbnry Gazette, I perceived that the editor hat taken excep tions to oor "Impressions" of the Lecotnptoa Convention at Harrisbnrg, for It cannot, with propriety, be called anything else, flaring been at New York last week, and therefore not able to reply, I will briefly notice a few of his"very peculiar Impressions." We certain ly did not expect that Mr. Youngman't views woald coincide with oor own on this subject, at leaat for any length of time, althongh in December last, Mr Yonngmnn entertained views very similar to onr own, on the Le compton question, and did not hesitate to ex press himself in favor of Mr. Douglass coarse lo his speech on this subject. It was not long, however, nntil one of those peculiar changes, to which tbe Gazette has always been subject, was visible in Its transition from its opposition to its final support of the Lecompton Swindle. What had induced this sadden change, it is not for ns to say, bnt the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch whose corres pondent at Ilarritbarg, had taken paint to gather the causes of the sudden conversions of the nomeroue anxious members of that con vention, found that oo less than about sixty or about one half, were either applicants for office, or expectants, or office holders. Among those tbe delegate from Nortbotnber. land county was pnt down as an applicant for one of the numerous inspectors of the Custom House in Philadelphia. Whether this had anything to do with this change, we.shall not undertake to determine. Perhaps there was not a sane man in that convention, who seriously believed that it was a fair representation of the people. The Pre sident, Mr. Dawsun himself, declared verbal- nd in writing his opposition to tbe Le compton Constitution not three weeks previ ous, but tbe Gazette not only exenses bim for this desertion of bis principles, but contends that he was right in depriving tbe minority in having a voice on the committee, and that, too, after having given pledget to some of the members in the minority, who voted for him, that he would appoint a proportional nnmber on this committee. The idea that a minority is not to have a voice, or to be beard in a Convention, because it is small, is cer tainly rich and original, if not democratic. Tbe editor of the Gczette has also underta ken the forlorn hope of opposing tbe Sale of the State Canals to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company. He may well say that it seems hard that be should oppose tbe in. tereets of that great work. With tbe excep. tion of tbe Supervisors, Collectors, Weigh masters, Mud-bosses and other Canal officials. there are not perhaj s a dozen men in tbe county who do not feel that the sooner tbe State gets clear of tbe canals and shakes off the leeches that fatten oo the poblic plunder, the better it will be for the poople. It is, however, not more than right that this little squad of a minority should be beard and tbe Gazette is, perhaps, entitled to some credit for standing by them in tbe hoar of their affliction, when the voice of the people was raised against tbem. Dad the Gazette published the Report of tbe majority, which was signed by eight of the nine members that composed the Committee, its readers might have seen by whom, and for what purpose this wbite-washing report was got up. But here the editor is again inconsistent. He contends that in the Harrisbnrg Lecompton Convention the minority had no right to be beard, but iu tbe Sunbury and Erie matter, be contends that tbe one, oat of the nine members of the Committee should overrule the others, and that tbe interests of the mud bosses, and tbe canal officials, should be pro tected at the expense of the people. The re. cords show that the canals bave been a dead Iars, and that tbe State would bave saved money by giving them away twenty ago. One of the temarkable features of the times are tbe prayer meetiugs and religious gatherings throughout tbe cities. .These meetings are held not only in tbe cbnrches but in the most public places each as Thea tres, Concert-rooms ic. While in New York I went into the John's Street Cburcb. Tbe crowd was great, but at Burtons Theatre, where Henry Ward Beecber was announced. tbe building was packed full inside and out long before the hour appointed. The meet ings in the city of New Yoik are estimated at twenty-three, and the aggregate number of persons attending is CI 10. Of these 1205 are at Burton's Theatre, which is a union meeting; 1850 at tbe Methodist Episcopal churches ; 825 at the Dutch Reformed ; 610 at the Baptist, 325 at tbe Prosbyteriau, and the remainder Union, Youug Men's Christian Association, Congregational and Mariners. This is in the city proper, and does not in clude Brooklyn and tbe suburbs. After the Theatre, by far the largest gtth erings are at tbe John street and the Allen street Methodist churches. Of the me etings at tbe John Street Cbepal, tbe Baptist Ex. amiuer says : We dropped in at noon, and enjoyed the pleasure oi peannj; a lew simple, earnest, fer vent remarks from tbe converted pugilist, Gardner. He made aa unaffected reierence to bia own recent experience of converting grace, which has so suddenly transported him. while riding in a wagon, from tbe horrors of conviction to a blitslul view or Jesus, tbstbe instaully cried out "Hallelujah 1" in a tooe so loud as to ingiiten bis borse. and nearly to have produced a disaster. Said be, "Yes, I shouted hallelujah, then. I sbout hallelujah now I 1 expect to die shouting hallelujah ana oy uoa s grace j. nope to shoot ballela jab to all eternity." Tbe Baptist Examiner makes the following estimate of conversions duriug tbe present revival : Oar revival summary for three weeks nast, though Imperfect, of necessity, shows a great advance. Over seventeen thousand conver sions are therein specified i and tbe inaslber ing on probation aud otherwise, reported in our Me'.bodist exchange doruiE tbe same period amounts, by our own ceutit, to over twenty tnoasaoa pjore. Another paper giving an account of tbe meetings at Burton's Theatre, says l There were fully three thousand persons at Burton's Theatre, thit afternoon. Rev. Dr. Sutherland, of the Presbyterian Church, tent in a reqaett for tbe prayert on behalf of tbe nennle of Watbinston.

At Je;ou Bell tnatt I, svtrj day, an assemblage of several thousand per sons gathered In that splendid concert room. The prayer meetings are held at noon, com mencing at 12 and ending at 1 o'clock.

T. B. Peterson & Brothers, in reference to Washington Irving' endorsement and recommendation of "Sana roe," the new novel by J. A. Maitland, de serves tbe attention of tbe reading world. A most injurious charge has been made by a New York publishing house nothing lees. than that the letter signed "Washington Ir, ving," in which "Sartaroe" i praised a the best novel issued from tbe American press for some years past,' is a forgery. This very serious charge is a complete surprise to tbe publishers of "Sartaroe," and tbey very pro. perly present the facts of the case before the public. It appears that Messrs. Fetridge Si Co., of New York, originally undertook to publish tbe book, end issued a circular an nooncing it some months ago, which circular contaioed tbe letter referred to from Mr. Ir ving. Tbey retiring, they offered to sell the work to Peterson Jc Brothers, and aa it was accompanied by this letter which contaioed also a sentence authorizing tbem to use it publicly, they purchased it. Tbe original let ter is in tbeir possession, and its bears all tbe marks of authenticity. Indeed, persons fa. miliar with Mr. Irving' handwriting say they have no doubt of it genuiueness. If it was not really written by bim, it is neither the fault of Fetridge Sc Co., who brought the manuscript of tbe book, nor Messrs. Peter son & Brothers, who bought it from tbem end published it. Tbe book is now ready and can be bad by addressing Peterson k Bros., 306 Cbe3uut street, Philadelphia. (2 Geo. M. Laoman, Esq., recently ap- paointed Flour Inspector by Gov.
