And yet tho solo forou of this proclama tion is directed ngainst them. May not this measure, so clearly impolitic, un just, and unconstitutional, and which is calculated to create so many barriers to tho restoration of the Union, be miscon aimed by tho world us an abandonment ofthohopoor tho purpose of restoring it a result to which tho State of Now ITork is unalterably opposed, and which will be effectually resisted. ' Wb tuu9t not only support tho Constitu tion of the United States and maintain tho rights of the states, but wo mutt rohtoro our Union as it was boforo tho outbreak of the war. Tho niscrliou that this war was tho unavoidable result of Mnvery is not only orrotioous, but it has led to a disas trous policy in its prosecution. Tho opin ion mat slavery must no nuutisheu to re- .store our Union creates an antagonism between tho frnn nn.l tlinalnvnafnt., .rt.l-l, ouglit not to exist. It it is truo that slavery .must he abolished by tho force of tho fed eral government; that the South must bo held in military subjection ; that four millions of uogroos must, for mauy years . bo uudor tho direct management oi au thorities at Washington at tho public cx penso; then indeod, wo must enduro tho wasto of the crimes in tho field, further drains upon our population, and still rcaUr burdcni of debt. We must not con vert our govornment into a military des potism. Tho mischievous opiuion that in 'th s contest tho North must subjugate and destroy the South to savo our Union has weakened tho hopes of our citizens at homo and destroyed confidence in our success abroad. THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN STATES. It is a suggestivo fact, affording instruc tion and hopo for tho future, that tho the ories rchich havo exercised an evil influ cuco on our national politics did not originate in what may bo called tho heart of tho Union, among tho intimato and well- icquainted populations of tho Central and Western States, whoro the Etatos per mitting and forbidding slavery aro in ac tual c .intact, nor in-thc portions traversed by th 3 great cast and west lines of com-ni.-rcs and intercourse Thoy havo been developed almost entirely in two sections comparatively isolated by position, tradi tions, and peculiar habits of thought, and l aU connected with the more homogeno ous mass of our people. There have been cxtremo northern views and extreme southern vi;ws, but also tho broader and more tolerant viows of tho more populous t mitral and Western States. These cx li?nd on both sides of that indenturing lioundry between " slave" and "freo" stales, which is not a lino of opposing opinions, but of intermingling interests Their plains aro interlocked by confluent rivers, and not dividod by mountain ranges. These itates arc a region of har monizing views and sympathies. They are not only bound Jugothcr by peculiar interests, out also uy strong reasons lor resisting a division on that boundary, which would maku them frontier states. which would rcplaco their cordial inter course by hostile relationship, and throw upon them all tho greatest and sharpest evils of the separation. Thus, while they do not share the passions and preju dices of those extreme states which strove to enlist them in the contest, thoy have motives of tho highest intorcsts to restore the old' order of things and of tho gravest apprehension from a soparation. This w.tr blights and destroys tho hopes and the happiness of this region, while tho sections whoso passions and interests Undled it arc mainly remote from tho terrible suffering it has caused. Tho Western and Central States en listed varmly in a war for tho Union and 'Constitution. Tho northern tier of ''slave btates" (except Eaetorn Virginia) earnest ly snpportcd tho government in its policy while it was consistent with this purpose, which was known as tho ''Uordcr Stato policy." 15olh the administration and Congic.s declared their solo purpose to hi to restore the Union and maintain tho Constitution. When tho administration abandoned this policy, and took up the views of cxtremo Northern Statos, it lost, at the late election, nearly all tho politi--cal fupport which tho Central and West ern Slates afforded in tho elections 'of 18G0and 1SGI. While the North cannot hold tho south ern State in subjection without destroy ing tho principles of our govornment, the great Central und Western States can ' control tho two extremes. They will not a, -o'ipt tno viows ot etiner as eato cuiucs in tho oonduot of public affairs. This is back, too, with all its elements of nroduo 1.., t. i : : i t.:.

When tho Gulf States seceded, tho cen tral slave states, by large majorities, refused to act with thorn. Thoy sought to 'avoid war and division by thoPoaco Oonforenoe held in Washington. Unfortanatoly tho dominant leaders of tho party which had succeeded at tho election of 1800, over looking tho fact that this was dono by tho voto of about l.dOO.OOO against a dividod opposition of about f2,80O,OOO, rejeoted all tortus of compromise and conciliation as inconsistent with tho results of tho election and attempted to govern and control an agitated and convulsed country strictly by tho opinions and sentiments of a minority. J iio outbreak ot war involved our whole country in its excitements. The Stato of D lawaro, Maryland, Kontucky, nnd Mi3- B iuri, and too western part ot Virginia, adhered to tho Union. The purposo then nvowrd by the administration and assort ed by Congress, as to tho objec's of the war, gavo to tho administration ovcr vh lining majorities at tho clootion of 1 401 , in nil tho loyal states. All engaged h prfully aud unitodly in tho work of up holding our Constitution and of restoring qur Uniou to its former couditiou. Whou tlta piliey waa changed and it adopted tho sontiments of tho cxtremo Northern Statos and ilinennlml ilman nf tt cstorn Stntos, n rcmarkablo nolitical ro volution was tho result. , . . . . EXTREMES WILT. NOT PtlEVAIIj. ft has been assumed that this war will end in tho ascendancy of the viows of one of tho oxtremcs of our country. Neither will provail for neither can command tho support of tho majority of tho American people. Tho great Central and Western States, which havo tho largest share of tho population and resources of our coun try, will not accept of cither class of pur poses. This is tho significance of tho late elections. Thoir determination is to de fend the rights of stales and tho right! of individuals, and to restore our Union as it was. It will bo restored by tho Central and Western States, both freo and slave, who are exempt from tho voilcut passsions which bear coutrol of tho estrcmos. It is a fact full of hope that tho prejudices bo- tween northern and southern states are not U.C1U 00 T "uo 01 nut in tho sec ' 6101,3 ",0it roulolc I1" Melt Other, and separated by tho groat controlling regions aud resources of tho country. Tlioso of tho central slave states whioh rejected the ordinanco of secession, which sought to remain in tho Union, and which wcro driv en off by a contemptuous, uncompromising policy, must be brought back. The resto ration of tho whole Union will then bo onlylbo work of time, with such exertion of power as can bo put forth without need lessly sacrificing tho life and troasnro of tho North in a bloody and calamitous contest. Wo must nor wear out the lives of our sol diers, nor exhaust the earnings of labor, by a war for uncertain ends, or to carry out vaguo theories. Tho policy of subju gation and extermination means not only tho destruction of tho lives and property of the South, but also tho wasto of the blood and treasuro of tho North. Tho exertion Rod armed power must bo accom panied by a firm and conciliatory policy, to restore our Union with tho least possi ble injury to both sections. To mako this Union New York gave up a vast end rightful political power in tho Senate. It has proved a greater bless ing that tho most hopeful expected. To savo it wo thavo made groat sacrifices of blood and treasure. Is it not also worth a sacrifico of passion ? Shall wo let it bo torn to fragraonts without ono conciliatory effort to prctorvo it ! ADJUSTMENTS Or INTERESTS, &C. Those at tho North and tho South who havo been laboring to broak down our na tional Constitution and Union, and to mako two oonfwdcraoics, overlook thc fact that in caoh of those it would bo more difficult to adjust conflicting interests and state representation than in our existing Union. Tho vast extent of our couutry, and its varied productions and pursuits, have relieved antagonism between com mercial, manufacturing, anda;ricultnring ! interests. Thoy give to each groat fields , for prosperous pursuits. If tho nroduo- iug statcB of tho West aro cut off from tho markets of tho South thoy will demand a freo trade policy which will open to them tho markets of tho world ; aud oven theso will not mako good tho loss. Thoy will notcivo ud their ncculiar ndrnntnna f : raising grain and oattlo for tho pursuits and tho markets of tho Eastern States and Europo are not equal to westorn produo- tions.

The Sonato can prevent tho passage or repeal of laws by tho House, which represents tho popular will, and at the samo time can control tho power of tno executive uy rejecting treatios formed or nominations made by tho President. At this timo it assumes to dictato tho organization of tho oxecutivo department. This body also has tho advantage of lon ger tenure of office, while it is Author removed from popular control. It is in this powerful branch of government that elates havo an equal representation, without regard-to population. Even under our present Union, it is for tho interest of tho small states to centra lizo power in the national government, as they enjoy a disproportionate control in tho most influential branch of that govornme it. All now acquiesce in that compromise of the Constitution. It is the host adjustment whioh can ho made be tween tho larger and smaller slate. So long as all the states of our present Union were represented in Congress, this tondency wai checked by tho existence of states with small populations, distrib uted in dillbi'siit sections, of our country, and fomowh it equally among tho agricul tural, commercial, uud manufacturing regions, Hitherto, no injurious or iiitat ing results havo been caused. A division of tho Union, or tho disfranchisement of tho Southern Statos by putting them back into tho condition of mere territories, or a representation dictated by the military power of government, would make inevi table a readjustment of political power. If tho Southorn States are cut oil' or dU franchised, every map of our country will constantly Migccst this to the public mind. In the Northern Union the group of six small NiUv England States, with New Jersoy and Delaware, lying on the Atlanlit coast, far removed" from the central and western sections of our coun try, with united populations only about equal to that of this state, would balance, in the controlling brunch of tho national legislature, tho great producing states of New-York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa In a few years, each of these states will have populations gicatcr than that of all New England. This disparity of politi cal power would bo increased by t be fact that tho population and pursuits of New England, confined within very limited bouudcries, have the uniformity of one community, while the larger states have diversified and distinctive pursuits to prevent thctn from acting so readily in concert. The danger or controversy would be increased by our vast national debt. This, mainly held by a few Atlantic Slates, divides our country into the per ilous sectional relations of debtor and creditor regions The ownership of this debt cannot bo diffused over our country so that the .same communities which pay taxes will rcceivo incomes. Tho inci dental advantages of protective tariffs growing out of this debt would be largely gained by tho creditor states, which also enjoy his disproportionate share of polit ical power. Tho great producing stales would bo compelled to pay a heavy taxa tion to other communities at a time when the division of our Union would deprive them of their most profitable markets ; and heavy duties would tend lo diminish, tho damands of foreign countries for their producti 'tis. No ono can look for ward to such agitations and discussions without tho deepest concern. Tho small states, grouped upon the shores of tho Atlantic, wcro all original panics to inc uonsmution. They arc (gloriously associated with tho history of the revolutionaiy struggle. They boar names that are honored, and have mem ories that aro cherished in every part of tho land.

Our present alarming conditiou na turally calls for such expressions of publio opinion with respect to tho objects of this war, and ths spirit in which it should bo conducted, and tho cud for whioh it should bo waged ; when tho publio will is olearly oxprossod it must bo recognized and re- 6peoted by govornmont. It will also mako itsolf offectivo in our frequently recurring oleotions whioh peacefully but rapidly form a body of government in harmony with its purposes. It will influence oongrossiona' aotiun, or it may lead lo a convention of the states. Tho condition of our country is not hopeless, and unless it is mado so by paisioni and prejudices which nro in consistent with tho government of a great country. This war, with ull its evils, has taught us groat truths which, if aocoptcd by our peoplo, will (ako tho luturo relations of the various sections of our Union on tho firmest bails. It bus made ui know tho value of tho Union itstlf, not only in our internal but in our foreign relations. It has given us it wisdom and knowledgoof each other which had wo possessed oarlior would havo averted our present calamities. If the Interests of different sections of our country arc conflicting in somo respects thoy nro to balanced and adjusted by na turo that thcro is an irrepressible tendency lo intercourse, harmony, aud union. This tendency must, in the cud, overcome mutual misapprehension. Wo havo also loarncd the great mutual strength of tho Noith and of tho South, and amid all bitterness of feeliug engendered by tho war caoh sec tion has b&oti taught to respect tho power, resources, aud courago of tho other. Wo must accept tho conditiou of affairs as thoy stand. At this moment tho for tunes of our country aro influenced by tho results of battles. Uur armies in tno tie Id must bo supnoitcd; all constitutional do- niands of our general govcrnuieut must bo promptly responded to. But war alouo will not savo tho Union. Tho rule of action which is used to put down an ordinary insurrection is not ap plicable to a wide spread armed resistance of great communities. It is weaknes and folly to shut our eyes to this truth. Under no circumstances oau the division of tho Union bo conceded, We trill put forth every exertion of power, we will use every policy of conciliation j wo will hold out every iuducoinent to tho people of tho South to return to their allegiance, consis tent with honor ; wo will gu.irantco them every right, every consideration demanded by the Constitution, and by that fraterna regard which must prevail in a common country ; but wo can never voluntarily consent to thc breaking up of tho Union of these states, or thc destruction of tho Con stitution. Humbly acknowledging our dependence upon Almighty God, aud repenting our pride, ingratitude, aud disobedience, let m pray that our minds may bo inspired with tho wisdom, the magnanimity, tho faith, and charity, whioh will enable us to save our country.

Tho Election lis Incidents. Tho first woek of the session of the pres ent Legislature, was one of great excito mcnt and anxiety not only to tho gentle men who wore contesting tho seat of senator, but to tho Slato of Pcnsylvaui-i, and to her stern and unyielding Democracy. Having honestly and fairly achioved a vic tory, thoy wcro extremely desirous, and rightfully so, of securing, against bribery, corruption or treachery, its benefits. So much bad been said in tho Abolition news papers, about the cortain success of Cam eron, so many predictions had been inado about his ability to securo tho necessary number of votes to elect him over a Demo crat, in a convention which contained a majority of Domocrats, that tho peoplo were justly alarmed and indignant; nnd any unusual display must bo attributed to tho bravado of thoao papors. During tho woek, all sorts of rumors wero afloat, and tho intrigues of Oaraoron's lacquoys could bo readily traced. On Monday tho 12th, it.oamo to bo reduced to , certainty that all their schemes had failed. dclity of any ono of tho Bixty-iovon Dem ocrats in tho LcgisliUure.

Au expression of satisfaction j and confidence passed over tho faces of , tho Democrats. Mr. McCullough movod a comtnittco of two, to wait upon tho Senate, nnd inform it that the IIouso was ready to assemblo in convention to proceed to tho cloction of an United States Seuator. Just as tho miuuto baud of the clock reached tho mark of XII, thc committee roo and passed out of the Hall, tho Sergeant-at-Armu closing tho door behind them. Wo sat in breath less silence for two minutes then the doori wore fluug open, and tho committco enter ed and announced "Tho Speaker and members of thc Scnato." Tho member of the House arose to their feet, aud re mained standing, until the Senators had taken their scats. The speaker of tho Senate is, cx-Jkio, tho Pre.-identof tho convention ; uud as such occupied tho Speaker's chair. The President then announced tho objeot for which tho convention had assembled, re- quested tho vast audiouci to preserve strict , order ; aud directed tho clerk of the Senate to call the names of Senators. Tho first Senator called, voted lor "Gen. Simon Cameron." At this poiut' somo 'slight applause was manife.-ted, which was promptly checked of itself aud a ; little coufusion was created bv reason of u drunken man forcing his way iuto the Hall. Tho Soargcnt ntArms speedily dis ; posed of him, aud tho President ordered the j doors to be closed. I Thc balloting thon proceeded in a ti I lonco only broken by the voice of the j actors. When the Crt Democratic Sena j tor was called, ho pronouueod tho namo of "Charles It. Duokalew,'' which was ech oed by tho Tellers at tho clerk's desk. . Steadily the vote progressed in solid mass es for tho caucus candidates, until iho Sou , ators wcro all called. The President then directed tho olork of tho IIouso to call tho i members thereof. j When tho name of Bartholomew La porto was called, bo Yoted for ''William D. Kelly."
