Iv any reliance can be placed upon the re ports which come to us from time to time, con cerning the declarations of Mr. LINCOLN with reference to the difficulties of the country, he is in a bewildered frame of mind, and not the resolute man his friends have represented him to be. Mr. &WAS% the chosen Premier of the LINCOLN Administration, who is supposed to reflect the opinions of the President elect, Is oracular and non-committal, taking great pains in his speech to show how the Union can not be preserved, but indicating no measures whereby it can be preserved. However, he professes to be willing to deal with the territo rial question practically, and to sink Republi canism in love of country. Persons who have conversed with Mr. LINCOLN, represent him as expressing a willingness to consent to the ex tension of the Missouri Compromise line, pro vided he is satisfied that the people wish it.— On the other hand, the Tribune professes to declare authoritatively that Mr. LINCOLN is not in favor of making concessions, real or pre tended, to the slave power. When political doctors disagree, who shall decide? Mr. LlN cora appears to be perplexed by the-contentions in his own party, and to ... give encouraging words to both sides. . Just Concessions not Degrading. The New York Triune, in exhorting the Re publicans to stand firm, wishes to be understood as speaking authoritatively when it declares " that President Timm is not in favor of " making concessions to the slave power, either " pretended concessions or real concessions, "nor in favor of any measures looking to the "humiliation of Freedom or the free States." =illation of the free States. No person wants a single free State in this Confederacy to sur render a particle of its freedom. We are not asked to abandon any of our rights or to do anything that will in the most remote particu lar interfere with our prosperity. But we are asked to repair some of the wrongs that the North has committed, and to afford the South ern States some reasonable degree of security that they will be safe within the Union. In the first place, we are asked to repeal all laws that prevent the efficient execution of the fu gitive slave law or tend to embarrass the master in recapturing his fugitive slave. We are bound to obey the constitutional injunction in this particular, and we are at a loss to perceive what humiliation there would be in repairing the errors committed in the passage of per sonal liberty laws intended to nullify this pro vision of the Constitution. It might be some humiliation for those who were instrumental in the passage of such laws to retrace their steps; but this is an individual matter, of no particular concern to the public. We contend that no State can be humbled by showing a proper degree of zeal in carrying out the pro- Tiiions of the Constitution, or by removing any impediment it may have thrown in the way of the due execution of such provision. A mag nanimous man is not humbled by confessing and repairing his faults—neither is a great State. It is only very small and mean natures that refuse to atone for errors committed, or feel that confession and reparation are degra ding. We have yet to learn that it would be hu miliating for any of the free States to recog nize and conform to the decisions of the Su preme Court of the United States. That court has solemnly adjudged that Congress does not possess power under the Federal Constitution to exclude the property belonging to Southern men from the common territory belonging to all the States of the Union. The Northern States, or rather the Republican party, have announced their intention to exclude slavery from the Territories, notwithstanding the de cision of the Supreme Court, thus pledging themselves to what has been judicially deter mined mu t at be done without an infradtion of the Constitution. The South ask that the de cree of the court in their favor shall be recog nised as paramount law, and the Republicans are afraid that if they yield to this demand the free States will be humbled and degraded.— What contemptible nonsense. The free States would be no more degraded by submitting to the decisions of the Supreme Court than any individual who submits his claim to an acre of ground and loses it would suffer degradation by yielding his claim. If the free States have assumed a position with reference to the Ter ritories which is untenable, it is time for them to abandon their false claims. - The sooner the better: Free States cannot •be humbled by stioli concession, however much demagogues who have placed them in a false position.may be - tieereded—and we are not sure that any thing. on nial l! czadlie the degradation of the Republiatiti .ICaders, who have brought the country info difficulty by their misrepresenta • . . 416 doubt. a piratical crew would feel deeply mortified and humbled- if they were captured pt4 - Csinip i elleil to moke.reitgution of the effects . = • unlawfully seized by thew, providing they should be so fortunate as to escape hanging ; but no great, free, magnanimous party or State can ever be humiliated by doing justice.

BUt no man csn estimate the humili ation, the degredation, the retribution, in store for the party which plunges this country into civil war, rather than concede one iota of their demands to preserve peace and Union. Compromise or Coercion. We are very far from sympathizing with South Carolina in her revolutionary proceed ings; and if she could be separated from the South, we would be glad to see her suffer for her violence and precipitancy. -If secession was confined to South Carolina alone, and the sympathies of all the other Southern States were with the Union, it might be an easy matter to bring her to terms; but unfortunately the questions with which we have to deal affect the whole South, and are not confined to a single insignificant State. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that a wide-spread and deep-seated disaffection to the Union exists in all the South ern States. They have lost confidence and sympathy with the North, and consequently with the Union, because the Northern States exercise the controlling power. The appre hension that this power will be used so as to destroy their interests and imperil their per sonal security has induced the South to resort to the direful remedy of secession. Now the question presented to the North is this—How shall the lost confidence and sympathy of the South be restored? Without this confidence the Union cannot last, and therefore the ques tion becomes one of union or disunion. Two methods are proposed for accomplishing the arrest of the secession movement, the one peaceful, the other violent. The Democratic party say that as disaffection to the Union is caused by a loss of confidence, and as common sympathy and interest is the great bond which formed and has preserved us one nation, the only means by which the Union can be per_pet uated is to restore the confidence which has been lost, and the only way to restore that confidence is to compromise our differences in a fraternal spirit. This is the peaceful way of preserving the Union, and is consonant with the spirit which created it. It is a method which avoids war and bloodshed, encourages fraternity, and promises lasting peace. The other method proposed for saving the Union is by the use of violent arguments— brute force, cannon and shot, bloodshed and brutality. The forfeited confidence of the Southern States in the Union is to be restored at the bayonet's point and-the cannon's mouth. The South ie to be whipped into love for the Union. We are to treat them as enemies, and not yield an inch, that we may regain their confidence. We-must establish a mastery over them and teach them that ours is a strong government able to pat down rebellion. " And all this must be accomplished at the expense of precious treasure ind more precious blood; at WeetnitguailluMASid r ialtade t efili al ilt purpose of preserving the consistency of the leaders of the Reputlican party, who would fool mortified aid humbled if they yielded anything to the South. This is really the only object to be accomplished by war; for scarcely any man is so infatuated as to believe that coercion would preserve the - Union. In such a contest victory would be as fatal to thew Union as defeat. A despotic government may be preserved by despotic means. A free govern ment cannot outlive public confidence. When that is weak the government is weak. When that is restored the government again becomes great' and powerful. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the Patriot. and Union WeismanTon, Jan 17, 1801. The defeat of the Crittenden resolutions in the Senate yesterday, by the adoption of the amend ment of Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, cast a deep gloom over this city, and, I doubt not, will produce a profound sensation of sorrow all over the coun try, so soon as the fact is known. It is passing strange that the extreme Republicans are so blinded to the real state of the public mind as to suppose that their persistent opposition to all efforts at com promise of the difficulties now existing in the coun try will not be visited by the severest reprobation. It is well known that the passage of the Crittenden propositions would have had a most salutary effect upon the South, and, in all human probability, produced a re-action in public sentiment there that might, yea, in all likelihood, would have brought about peace and tranquility to our distracted coup. try, and ultimately re-united the now dissevered, discordant and belligerent States in one homogene ous family again. Yet these resolutions, as well as all other propositions that have been offered, have been defeated by the votes of Republican Senators. For such conduct there must be some assignable cause. Men would not thus act, unless they acted from a motive that is at once powerful and controlling. It is a fact, disguise it as they may, that the extreme Republicans in Congress are the real disunionists; and for this reason—they see that if the BMWs were CC-united their power in this Government would be lost for half a century at least. They are now in the ascendant in the States north of Mason and Dixon's line, and they think that if they gets Northern Confederacy they can retain their power. They reason like madmen who think all men mad but themselves. But, nev ertheless, they are acting upon the motive sug gested by the delusion I have stated; and like de. laded men they will go on till the people of the North come to their senses and hurl them from place and power, and substitute those whose love of country is superior to the blandishments of power or the lucre of office. This Union is of too much value to be offered up as a holocaust to the mad ambition, or, what is still worse, the rapacity of bad men. Let the honest yeomanry of the North arouse themselves to the reality of the dread ful drama that their rulers in Congress are enact ing, and in stentorian tones thunder in their ears their condemnation. Let the people say to the politicians in Congress—" You must close your un holy warfare upon the South, and make such con . - cessions as will renew the fraternal feelings that were wont to animate the breasts of the Fathers of the Republic towards each other, without regard to geographical lines or local institutions."

This was done by the votes of the Southern members, there being three of them on the committee, and consequently they control its proceedings. I will not venture an opinion on this action of the oom. mittee at present, because I know that it WAS not dictated by any factious motive. Hopes are entertained here by some hopeful men that disunion—l mean permanent disunion—will yet be averted. God grant that such may be the case 3 but I confess I cannot see the grounds for hope of any such result. LETTER FROM HUNTINGDON. Correspondence of the Patriot and Union. BUZITINGIDON, January 17, 1861. EDITORS OP THE PATRIOT AHD Union!—the aum of all the parts forms the whole, and in view of this fact I have resolved to send you a statement of f a Union meeting held last uigbt in Runtingden, where I was led by curiosity, in the absence of better entertainment. The meeting was called to order in the Town Hall at the usual hour. The Court being in session this week, a goodly number of the yeomanry of the county was present. A committee on resolutions was appointed, and in their absence John Soott, Esq.,an eloquent member of the bar, was called to address the meeting. The speaker proceeded with an earnest and heart-felt appeal to his fellow-oiti zens, conjuring them to forget their adoration of party, and cultivate a union feeliog, and a loyalty to the best interests of their country. He seemed to think that the present crisis was really one of awful moment to the country. His patriotism and speech seemed to come from a "heart in the right place." The committee was not long absent, and two sets of cut and prepared resolutions were pro duced. Both were read and moved for adoption. This brought out the old political Cricketers who have grown gray in the service, and the patriotism of the evening seemed to be silent. One speaker after another opened an ultra Republican harangue, and all true, heart-felt conservative feeling seemed to be smothered is the eseitetnent. This party feeling occasionally met a slight repulse, but again it opened with redoubled energy. It is true the old trick was played over again—the wonderful ap peal was made to the stars and stripes—the hypo critical twang to the dear people—a pretended de votion to the country was set forth in studied phrase, but it required only a half eye open to see the height and the depth of the'whole. • The meeting, unable to agree, referred both sets of resolutions back to a committee of thirteen, with instructions to report to-night. A SELL.—We are warned to be on the look out for a fellow named Lovett; who on Saturday night last perpetrated a swindle upon the peo-. ple of Columbus, Ohio. . He went to Columbus and advertised in the papers and issued fla ming bills and lengthy programmes for a per formance by the 'tDiitie Minstrels and Lovett's Pantheon, two shows in one!" On Saturday evening Lovett was on hand selling tickets at the hall, having previeasi shown a counter arrive by railroad precisely at Ti o'clock. He had hired a brass band which discoursed sweet and luring strains, and the hall was rapidly filling up with victims. About the time the troupe was to have arrived Lovett requested a confiding and sympathizing gentleman of the press to sell tickets for him while he would go to the cars. He pocketed the funds, amounting to about eighty dollars, and left. The crowd in the hall becoming satisfied that they were duped, dispersed as quietly as possible under the circumstances. The lessees of the hall were sold, hotel and saloon keepers were sold, the printers were sold, the band was sold, and finally the audience were sold. Upon leaving the hall he went to a clothing house, bought a suit of clothes, counted , out the money to pay for them, and in gathering up his purchase, managed to steal part of the money which he had counted out. He is said to be the most. omnipotent rascal that ever turned up. There is something of such a bold, daring character about this trick, that the people were disposed to admire and laugh at it, rather than become indignant., but the police are nevertheless on his track.— Wheeling (Va.) Intelligeneer, Jan uary 15. THE CONFLICT or Satarza.—A party of ne groes in Ithaca, N. Y., recently decided to have a ball. It took place about six miles out of the city, and they engaged a splendid six horse team to take them to the spot. The owner of the team, a well-known white livery-stable keeper of Ithaca, not wishing to entrust his team to the care of any one else, resolved to drive it himself. After the ball was opened, one of the darkey managers politely invited the gentleman to go in as a spectator if ha pleased, and he did so. After awhile, the negroes be coming aroused by the dance, the odor of the room became slightly objectionable, As the ball progressed, the aroma became stronger until he concluded to leave. Just at that mo ment he saw a number of darkies in consulta tion, and one of them approached him with much politeness, and informed him that the ladies requested that he should leave the room. The darkey stated that he regretted to make the request, but that the ladies insisted; be cause they said—he smelt too much of the stable A STRONGLY FORTIFIED ClTY.—Gaeta is so well fortified a place, both by nature and art, that though the Piedmontese troops amount to ever 80,000, whilst the garrison does not, pro bably contain more than one-third this number, it is supposed that it will not be reduced for some months, particularly as the Power; will not recognize a blockade from the sea. There are plenty of provisions there, and the King's soldiery, which at first seemed fleeing from him, now vie with each other in defending this last stronghold. It should be recollected that when Joseph Bonaparte beseiged Gaeta in 1806, he was not able to reduce it for more than six months. It, has been since then rendered much . stronger. The position taken by the Piedmon tese on the 31st ultimo, after crossing the Garigliano, may have misled the reader, ae the mole of Gaeta is a small town six miles north east from the fortified portion of Gaeta. It was, however, for the Neapolitans an irreparable loss. SUICIDE OF A POLICEMAN —Polio em aniVP Mut lean hanged himself in New Orleans on the 26th ultimo. He had been principal witness against a convicted murderer, who, when asked by the Judge why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, proclaimed his innocence, , and in strong language, though decorous to the Court, anathematized the police, charging then'. with perpetrating crimes and throwing the penalties, upon others. The circumstance and coincidence gave rise ,to numerous rumors in the community, the most generally received one being that Nl'Mullen hung himself through re mortle,.in having eonvicteds man of murder by fabie, evidence.

It seems that the report that Mr. Hamlin had negro blood in his veins, sprang from the fact that his father was named Africa Hamlin. His grandfather, a patriot of the Revolution, took a fancy to name a part of his nine children after the several continents, and Europe Hamlin, Asia Hamlin, America Hamlin, and Africa Hamlin were designations which four of his sons were obliged to carry to the grave. Lire IN New Mexico.—On the 4th ult., five men, all Americans, came to an untimely end in Albuquerque, under the following circum stances : A soldier, after carefully rolling him self up in his blankets, committed suicide by blowing his brains out with a pistol. Another soldier, to satisfy some old grudge, shot his sergeint, and he was lynched the same day. A gambler was killed in a fight with one of his companions; and the last was avictim in a duel between a soldier and a blacksmith, the soldier killing the blacksmith. SALE OF THE BURDELL House.—The dwel ling house No. 31 Bond street, New York, the scene of the Burdell murder some years ago, was on Monday sold at public auction. The place where Harvey Burdell was so mysteri ously butchered, where Mrs. Cunningham, Coroner Connery, the bogus baby, and all the other tragic, comic and farcical actors in that strange, dissolute drama of domestic life played their several parts, was eagerly bid for, and after a spirited competition knocked down at $17,050 to Mr. Anthony R. Hope. NED BUNTLINE IN A BAD WAY.-B. Z. C. Judson, calms "Ned Buntline," who has been on a "bender" lately, went to a house in New York where he was robbed of a watch. lie at first charged a young woman in the house with the robbery, and she was arrested. But it turned out that Ned's own friend—one John H. North—was the thief. He was arrested, and the pawn ticket for the watch, was found on his person. The watch was recovered, and North was taken into custody and held to answer. DISTINGUISHED AHIIIVALS.-A committee of five of the Vigilance Committee of ()Miasmck arrived here this morning, with a preacher, convicted of uttering abolition sentiments, and preaching inflammatory sermons to the negroes of that section.

THE CONTESTED CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.- The contested election case of 'Butler vs. Leh man, in the First Congressional district in Philadelphia, has been closed on both sides. By a re-count of the ballots, Mr. Butler claims to be elected by a majority of 45, but Mr. Leh man alleges that the ballot-boxes have been tampered with. The evidence taken is to be transmitted to Washington for the use of the committee of the House of Representatives. A correspondent of the New York Post writes t A curious circumstance occurred not long since. A cat belonging to Mrs. H. J. Hun ter caught a mouse and carried it up , to a chamber and put it in a box where she gener ally slept.. The woman, on going up, fdtuid her there with the mouse ; she seemed as fond of it as if it had been a kitten. How long she had kept it we do not know. The citizens of York, Pa., held a large and earnest meeting on Tuesday night of last week, for the puspese _of expressing.their devotion to the Union. Resolutions favoring, the Critten den Compromise and the repeal of the Per sonal Liberty bills ; pronouncing unjust and ill-advised the course of South Carolina, and declaring it the duty of the Federal Govern ment to collect the revenues at Charleston, were unanimously adopted. It is said that a movement is on foot at Albany which is calculated to have a great effect on the course of the cotton trade, to 'the advantage of New York and the Norlh generally. A law is to be presented - which shall exempt cotton in bales from the payment of any transportation on the New York canals. Ishii measure will add greatly to the amount of cotton transpor ted over the inland routes to Northern rail roads. A demonstration of the torking men of New York oity, a,gainat cocroingghe Southern States, was held in Broome street on Tuesday night. The papers say that the attendance was very large, and the sentiments expressed and resolu tions passed were of the most decided character. The meeting was addressed by several well known gentlemen. A resolution is pending in the Tennessee Legislature, requesting the Hon. Andrew John son to resign his seat in the United States senate. Another was submitted, instructing the Senators and requesting the representatives in Congress to oppose every measure looking to the coercion of any State that may see pro per to secede, It is estimated that there are 80,000 Ameri cans in Europe, and that they spend among them a sum of $150,000,000 per annum. This accounts to some extent for the large shipments Of gold made to Europe over and above the amount credited to mercantile transactions. The Croton has troubled the New Yorkers again.
