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

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

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

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."
I era glad'to have it in my power, in . this con..

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

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

being that Nl'Mullen hung himself through re

Mr. Ten Eyck (N. J.) presented the petition
of A. J. Staud, praying for the passage of a
law for holding a National Convention to pro

Philadelphia.
. Mr. Cameron's motion to re-consider the vote
by which the Crittenden resolutions were tattled

The motion to re-consider was passed.
HOUSZ.-Mr. Moore (Ky.) rising to a perso
nal explanation, said, that if Mr. Adrian's reso
lution heretofore adopted, had simply endorsed
the conduct of Maj. Anderson, he could have
voted for it, bit he could not receive the per
mission of his mind to vote for the remainder
of the resolution, and to say by so doing • that
he would endorse every act with the President
might regard as his constitutional duty in car
rying out the laws and preserving the Union.
While he was for the Union and believing that
he thus represented the people of Kentucky,
he thought. that duty required us to pause be
fore we imperil the whole Union, and bring on
a general conflict and internecine war. He did
not believe'in the right of &State to secede; . he
regarded as the greatest heterodoxy ever
advoCated by any party; but while he said
this, all must recognize the right of revolution;
for the, eisistance to oppression on one side, to
secure reedom on the other. He did not believe
the time had 'come to resort to this means of
redress, and precipitate so dreadful a catastro

. From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.
The papers in the South and hereabouts pub
lish a statement that CommedOre OltUbrick, or
the United States navy, died recently at Pensa
cola, Florida. This is not true, as the Com
nio-dore is in Washington to-day, attending to
businesi; and is perfectly well. '
The naval officers at the Pensacola navy yard
hive Veen formally detached, and. are now
awaiting orders from the department.
A number of the members of the diplomatic
corps having: addressed a note to becretarr
Black, asking whether the Government would
recognize clearances from`South Carolina, and
whether foreign ships could still pay duties to
that State, the =Secretary is employed in an
swering the same, but the exact position he
will take is not known.
Lieutenant Hall did not leave here for Charles
ton last evening, as was expected. The Presi
dent and Cabinet are still engaged on his in
structions to . Maj Anderson; and the exciting
reports as to what had already been determined
upon are, therefore, a little premature; never
theless it is not believed that the fort will be
surrendered, but, on the contrary, that orders
will be issued to defend it to the Wt.. The
President and his Cabinet are now considering
the mat ter.
Mr. Corwin's report from the Committee of .
Thirty-three will come up on Monday, and be
on the carpet until it is decided one way or the.
other.
Defences for the capital are still under pre
paration, and it is believed they will be more
than adequate to resist any invasion_
From present appearances the bids for the
new five million Treasury loan will run ahead
of the amount winked, and that the average
interest will be about eight per cent.
The President has appointed Mr. Holt as
permanent georetary of War, and his appoint
ment has been sent to the Senate. The nomi
nation will no doubt be confirmed.
LATER
The motion to reconsider the vote defeating
the Crittenden resolutions came up to-day and
was carried. The resolutions are now up, and
there are hopes of their being carried.
All the Republican Senators except Mr. Dix
on, of Connecticut, voted against the re gen
sideration. Mr. Cameron first voted aye, but
afterwards changed his vote to nay.
lt P. M.—The further consideration of the
Crittenden resolutions has been postponed till
Monday, when they will be made the special
order.
New York Legislature.
ALBANY, January 18
In the House of Assembly the committee on
Federal relations made a report. The commit

the present troubles, but declare that New
York, while standing firmly in support of the
Union and the laws, both by moral and mate
rial aid will recognize the importance of doing
all in its power to conciliate the disaffected
States. Resolutions accompany the report rep
robating the attempt of some of the elavehold
ing States to dissolve the Union, and denying
the right of any State to secede; also declaring
that the State will put forth all its power and
