Saturday last a Committee was filled op fer
. the purpose of pre pairing some mode of
adjustment. It was composed of a member
from New York, Tennessee and Massachu
ceus. After the forming ot this Committee
the Contention adjourned. The Commit
tee was expected to be able to report to the
Contention this week. 'It reported that
nearly every member has a proposition to
offer which he thinks woald save the conn
try, jfteverdy Johnon of Tennessee has a
peace offering which is said to be well re
ceived, end thought by many, will 'be the
basis of f be settlement which this 'Conven
tion will accept. It is substantially a fol
lows :
; 1. That Congress shall not have the pow
er to legislate in reference to the subject of
servitude anywhere, except to aid in the
eiecution of thr provision of the Constita
'liort in reference to (he retnrn ef fugitives
from service and to suppress the 'foreign
lave trade.
2. No Territorial legislature ball have
fower to estabKh or protect slavery in any
erritory north of the SoufLern line of "Kan
sas and the northern line of TJew Mexico,
or to impair, hinder or prevent any person
from carrying into and Molding any person
to service south of said line.
, "Rew York t. S. Senator.
; The defeat of Griklct, editor of the Tri
bunt, for U. S Senator by "-bis iparty in the
Legislature of New York, is n -encouraging
sign from that benighted locality. The
con'est was between the ultra Republican
oo one side, ith Grkelkt as th?ir candi
date, and the conservatives of, the ,me
party, beaded by Weed. The candidate
elected is represented as a middle man
romething not good but not to much of any
thing, He is thus described :
, Judge Harris the successful candidate, is
a conservative Republican across between
Greeley and Weed ; is not very friendly te
the latter, and only goes with Greeley so iar
as Brother G. i necessary to his success ; is
a Baptist of the dampest and most pious
description, but is not averse to political
spoil where the figures are portly, lie is a
stalwart, fine-looking man ot good Abilities,
and will reprebent hi-i party -creditably ta
te Senate. .
- It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome
was burning, but whether that be literally
tree, it is a historic fact that he laughed
and made merry while the Empire was
crumbling in pieces, and that he gloated
over the wreck and rain caused by bis own
infernal conduct.
It would seem that the present lias some
Neroes as well as the past. From the New
York Tribune, we find Horace Greely's sen
timents as foilownjn a long editorial en the
tale of the country:
' 'Congress seems almost respectable.
,Tbe missing eight votes of the Senate offer
nccasionol opportoui'y to get a majority in
that body lor beneficient propositions
And when we think f the half dozen or
dozen more who say they are on the ev-e
of going, it is difficult to restrain the jubi
lant feeling occasioned thereby.
The very debate are closed. Tb halls
of either branch no longer ring with fierce
collisions, and their fiercer reverberation.
The spirits of' discord have taken their
flight. It is aoit within, and runny with
out. It i difficalt, ander such circumstan
ces, to refuse to er.joy Secession. We think
if it, loek at it, and incontinently smile at the
peclcte." ' '
Six feet of rope would be short enough
for a man, who, after having for years been
engaged in stirring op contention between
the Ngrlh and the South, now can proclaim
that be is "jubilant" and can "smile at the
ppects.de" of his country dismembered and
its government overthrown. If such a rope
bad been used for that purpose a few years
ago, the country would now be contented,
prosperous and happy. Luzerne Union.

swindlers of Delaware, says an exchange,
who are just now flooding the country with
"confidential" circulars, promising large
prizes in return for a remittance of ten dol

Almo?l every exchange makes acknowl

these "confidential" circular with appro

favored with their "confidftnee" and prom

Newark 'Advertiser, he makes the following
reply: ' - '

not tm mediately done at th'e!Natftrn'al Capi

'difficulties 1o the settlemenrof'our national
troubles are rot considered as sufficiently
important to interpose any obstacle to the
prosperity and happiness of the people, of
this country.- Ah I theTeople, the people !
it is the masses, the mechanic, the work
ingman, the farmer, and the manufacturer,
in each section North, South, East and
West who are to suffer, bear the burden,
and do the fighting, while the accursed
fanatic, demagogue and politician skulk in
shame, and fear, and dread, to some hiding
place. What do our troubles originate
from? 'Why is the fairest country that
God's light has ever-shone upon'to be de
luged in fraternal blood"! 'Wb appeal to
the honesty, the justice, the truthfulness and
'patriotism of every candid, 'reflecting and
dispassionate man, of whatever iparty tir
clique he may be connected, 'to allow 'the;
God of conscience to answer this question .
Try it by that golden rale, "Do unto others
as ye would that others should do unto yoc."
The magnitude, the vital importance of this
question to every man in the land warrants
and appeals to him to consider. We want
everyman to soberly, thoughtfully and &r
nestly ask atmself the question of the origin
of our troubles, and quietly answer it.
Aggression, mutual recrimination, ambition

to act as statesmen ! We want the people
to look to their rights and see justice is done.
We assert, under a rule of reciprocal bene
fits, that there doea not exist any antagon
ism of interest between free and slave la

mutual advantages.
And yet Republicanism, for the mere
success of an impracticable dogma, will
sacrifice the welfare of millions in this

We notice that Mr. Ball, of Erie, has in
trodirced a bill in the Svafe Legislature,
providing lor the relief of the SunbuYy and
Erie Railroad Company, which proposes,
among other things, to change the name of
the Company, to give them power to issue
bonds to the amount of 5,000.000, to be
covered by a first mortgage, on the whole
of the road, finished and unfinished, loco
motives, cars, real estate, and in fact every
thing on which the Company have a claim.
That lh State of Pennsylvania shall cancel
its present mortgage of S3, 500 000, which is
now sl first mortgage, and which was given
to the State for her Canals, in 1858, and
shall receive therelor a second mnrtgiei
tchkh sk'iK not bear itXetest until Januaiy,

i here, is not that modest f Why cannot
these schemers say at once what they mean
and Then everybody would understand 1
Would it not be just as easy for them to say j
that they want the Stat? to cancel the bonds
she holds and make them a present of S3,
600,000, (for this proposi;ion amounts to
this,) as to talk about second mortgages
and that sort of thing. In 185S we were
told that if the Slate would let this corpora
tion have her Canals for 58,500.00, and
allow it to issue bond? to that amount they
could complete their road, beyond a doubt,
and most people supposed they coold, from
the statement then made by the Company.
Now they come and tell us that they were
mistaken, and they need the small sum ot
55.000.000 more to further their operation.
The managers in this concern have falsified
to the people once, may they not be doing
so again ?
We are not opposed to the construction of
thi road, but are opposed io the manner
in which its means have been squandered.
We believe that had the management been
in the hands of the honest friends of the
road men who wonld have looked to its
interests and completion first and secondary
considerations afterwards the work would
have been completed by this lime, with the
means and assets already in its possession.
But, unfortunately, it has been in the hands
of a set of adventurers, whose only care
seems to have been their own pockets.
We have now a little pamphlet before us,
published by the Company, in November
last, which contains, among other things,
an estimate .of the total amount required
yet to complete the road, containg even the
cost of water stations and fencing, w.hich
foots op 53,284,000. Against this, on the
very same page. Ibey show the ssset in
the hands of tha Company to be 84,789,
576 t8 This, according to our arithmetic,
would leave a balance in tha hands of the
Company, after entirely completing ibe
road, of tI,S05,576 18. It this be true, we
should like to know what the Company
want with the $5 000,000, asked for Mr.
Ball's bill. It is true that the President of
the Company, Mr. William G. Morehead,
and one Jay Cook, who, we blieve is a
Director in the Delaware Division Canal
Company, have recently opened a shaving
shop in Philadelphia which may need
some capital, but we scarcely think they
will need so large an amount. The truth
is, we believe there is a bad leak some
where in the concern, and in order to stop
it we would recommend the friend of the
road and the stockholders generally to have
a new deal and cut, and clear the board
Do this, and the community wiii hav some
hope that Jhe Company's means will be
properly apr'" I, and the work pushed on

Since my friend, the Doctor, has abstain
ed from personalities, in a'upirit of recip
rocity I do the same, artd shall hereafter
devote my ,,crilicisrIls,, 'tnore 'particularly
to Aw "isms" as .prdttiulgated 'in the "Re
publican." It seems paradoxical, that believer in
the principles of'Fox and;Penn, should ad
vocaie civil war and advise a;resort to arms
tocdrnpel the Souih to do as we Of the
North want them. The woniler increases
when'it is considered, hdw'fuilbf unbn'and
mildness the Doctor was oh the stump last
fall. Yet the great and nVanilold wrongs he
has received from the "South since then,
has turned this lamb Into a porcupine
bristling at all points 'with defensive and
offensive armor. 'In n late issue, he says:
"With traitors we cannot make terms of
peace. We are of those who believe that
in a great -struggle 'between Right and
Wrong, neither compromises, nor conces
sions, nor half -way measures are of -any
avail. One'Or thre other must 'triumph
one OMhe other must go to the wall."
That 'is, the North rs till Tight and the South
all 'Wrong'; hence, the one must triumph
over, and drive the other to the wall. Gree
ley, Seward, and others have abated their
fanaticism ; but here we behold a sheet
published in the heart of a conservative and
Democratic people, reiterating its demands
for an "irrepressible conflict." Webster,
Clay, and other -great statesmen, saw fit to
compromise and concede in times past, and
the country never yet lost by it; but, alas
for our country, a race 'of , politicians have
sprung up, who use every means to in
flame the public mind, and Tosh us -into a
civil war.

few who were undeniably such when white
men were struggling for frsedom. A pT'tty
paTty, truly, to talk of " enlorcing the
laws," when its whole policy has been to
nullify laws, and sap onr glorious Contitn
tion of its principles of Justice and Right ?
Our Southern brethern in ancient time, and
in a spirit of xompromise and concession, ce
ded for Northern emigration, all that vast
territory north of the Ohio and east of the
Mississppi. and only asked in te nrn that fu
gitive slaves should be returned when de
manded. This our forefather assented to
and in fact inserted a provision in the Con
stitution to that effect. But no sooner was
possession taken of the territory thus gen
erously given, than the North refused to
lolfill its part of the contract, and passed
"Personal Libert)' Bills'' to nullify the Con
stitmion in its most important part. Whre
was the enforcement of the laws then? But
in lh50, Congress passed the " Fugitive
Slave Law" in order to carry out the Con
stitution. This law has been assailed, and
its executors resisted, and in fact murdered
throughout the -vhole North, while most of
the Northern States have practically nulli
fied it, and yet these law abiding Republi
cans, hold up their hands in holy horror
and say, "We must enforce he laws." Does
Dr. John forget the 11th of February 1856
just four years ago when he, in company
wiih others, declared at an Abolition meet
ing, that "the Constitution imposes no obli
gation npon our citizens to assist in the re
capture of fugitives," and tht the Fugitive
Slave Lnw "is a most flagrant usurpation of
Constitutional prerogative, a disgrace to
our national character, etc ?" And the very
author of these sentiments has since de
dared, that the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott case was not bind

The Democratic Stale Executive Commit
tee of Pennsylvania, at 'a meeting held in
the city of Harrisburg, on'Vhe 30th ultimo ,
ununifnotisy resolved to elicit the views of
the' Democracy of the "old - Keystone" in
reference to the present terrible crisis of
onr'N'sPional affairs.
The failure of 'the 'Republican party to
meet, in a properspirit of concession and
compromise, the overtures made for the
adjust me nt of our "Nalidn-al difficulties, ren
ders it necessary that the united Democra
cy of this Commonwealth should take
prompt, decided, and energetic action in
premises.
We are in the midst df a revolution
brought about by the teachings of an anti
constitutional party, a party sectional in its
aims and sectional in its principles. Six
of our Sister sovereign Stales have already
withdrawn from the Federal Union, and
others threaten speedily to follow. The
Democratic party, ever faithful to the Con
stitution and the -laws, seriously deprecates
this deplorable condition of our common
and beloved country. The peril now im
pending is the natural result of a departure
from the true constitutional doctrines stead
fastly maintained by the Democratic organ
ization for the past sixty years, and can on
ly be removed try the re-establishment of
those ancient and time-honored "principles.
It rs not necessary to 'recall the g'ories of
the past it is only necessary to be remind
ed of the dangers of fhe present. "Whatev
er the future may 'have in store for the
American people whether peace shall
continue within in our borders, or onr land

the solemn and imperative duty of the

of the U nion, the Constitution, and "the

the rights pf all the Sta'es of this Confeder
