THE COMPROMISE OP THE PERCE CONGRESS. Those who desire that the diffioult.es which now beset the nation should be settled by a compromise, desire only that this com promise shall be a fair and constitutional one The grand aim is to secure the alle giance of the Border Slave States to the Union by suoh a revision of the oonst.tu tion as will guarantee the future secunti of their.domestic institutions and their slave property. It appears from the telegraphic ' reports that the Franklin substitute for the r proposition, which has been i lM@sgreed--.to by the Peace Congress, was ■"v , adopted by a vote of nine States against '• bight. The fact that the Congress was so nearly divided, is a bad omen for the success 4 • - of the proposition. But in order to get tjiis compromise before the several States ior their ratification, it must be passed by a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress, and then, to make such compromise a part s,; the constitution, it must be adopted by ' . three-fourths of all the States, each in a legislative act, or by a State Convention, as Congress may prescribe. There are but two days for all this work to,be done. Will Congress go at it, will /■V'tiieydo what they can to save the Union? s’ ‘Beems scarcely probable that when the Peace Congress was so divided on this propo sition, that a two-thirds vote can be had upon it in the space of two days. Bat Con gress might yet pass an act submitting the whole question to a vote of the people. A hare majority would do this, and the people of the whole country would receive such a measure with shouts of acclamation and j«y- If at all, that aotion must and decisive. The crisis culminates. the new tariff bile. The tax npon tea and coffee was stricken out of the tariff bill by the Committee of Conference, and it has passed both Houses of Congress. The new law will have the ef fect of replenishing the national Treasury, which has, for some time past, been depen dent upon loans, and will also give renewed energy and prosperity to the manufacturing interests of the country, and especially to those of our own State. Let the political sff«ira of the country now be settled upon gpoh a basis that public confidence shall be teetered, and the owners and operatives of Oar manufacturing establishments will ■from have prosperous times. Binca this bill was introduced, as "the Mor rill Tariff Bill, it has been greatly modified, and rendered less acceptable to the ardeDt friends of protection, but it is still a great improvement upon the tariff of 1867. It closely resembles the tariff' of 1840 in the actual amount ot duties it levies, but it radically differs from that tariff by imposing upon many articles, in the manufacture of which our citizens are engaged, specific iiuteacj of ad valorem duties. The wisdom of | change isnowmore universally acknowl edged than would have been deemed possi ble & f©w years ago, when the tariff of 184 b was in successful operation. But the fact Heflin unquestionable that fraudulent in voices are yearly becoming more and more common,Jand that, not only is our govern ment thus defrauded, but the business of honest importers crippled, while American manufactures are deprived of the protec tive influence of the revenue law when the prices of goods are lowest, and when, con sequently, it is most needed. MR. LINCOLN'S POLIC Y. The idea is fast gaining ground that Mr. Linwftln is disposed to,,adopt a conservative policy. He seems to desire to secure the services in his Cabinet of men who favor the Constitution and the Union, and is in clined to set his face against the ultra Abo lition wing of the Republican party. The ooantry looks to the incoming President to manifest a friendly and generous spirit to wards the border States of the South, which have so nobly pressed forward in the work of compromise and conciliation. Mr, Lin coln now stands in a position to make him self either * 1 the greatest or the meanest of mankind." The indication at Washington (Sty now seems to be, that Mr. Lincoln will disappoint the disunion element by adopt ing such a policy in forming suoh aCabinet as would give them an excuse to Btir up the mouldering fires of disunion, and plunge the country into civil war, nor yetwill he yield to the ultra .Northern partisan feeling of whioh Greeley is the chief exponent, which (Regards party success far more important than the interests and welfare of thirty mil lions of people. ELEGANT EXTRACTS FROM THE The leading editorial in yesterday’s (Jaiette Is one of the funniest specimens of Irish fine writing we ever read. It runs ovor with Irbh. excellencies of style. We give a few specimen expressions as follows; all of which elsgent and genteel phrases may be found In half a column; —“Cess-pool of politics and literature ” —“ reeking abominations'’ —“ to subsist parasitlcally on the fool humors gener ated In the body politio" —“malice and the as sassins”—“treason and its murderous designs’’ _“ malicious and atrocious aspersions”— ••coarse malignity”—“cowardly falsehoods” — ••beastly brutality”—■/insatiable reader”— ‘•morbid humor” —“preposterous folly of evil birth and'wanton mood”—“the foul subject of these remarks” —“let the scum He on the cess pool"-* ‘foul places where it is generated” The despatches to New York oity and Philadelphia papers announced that Mr. Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, will go ■into Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet as Secretary of tho Treasury. The struggle between the conservative and radical sections of the Re publican party itt Washington is increasing in intensity and bitterness. The vote —one hundred yeas to sevonty-'four nays—by which the consideration of this bill was postponed is equivalent to Us defeat.

The Senate pasted to second reading the Tonnage Tax bill as also the Sunbury $ Erie bill, lhe former can count nineteen votes certain. This is sufficient to put it through without an amendment A legal question will arise, can the Legislature take from the sinking fund one million of dollars and appro priate the same to finish other roads as propos ed by the bill under the “Buckalin” amend ments. It is denied that it can be done in as much as Jhe act would be unconstitutional. But here will be a question for the Supreme Court to hear and determine. There is much excitement on the subject. The Sunbury 4* fiiie b.ll will also pass, for it is well engin eered bj Jackman and Morehead. The latter is tbo President of the road.

Nicholson, Miller, Woods, McCandless, of your city, wilh Col Jack, late clerk of the Legislature. In conversing with Alderman Nicholson, he informs the writer that it would be advisable to p&es t.he bill named in a former letter, as the commit ments to the jail is rathei of a wholesale char acter and well calculated to plunder the county treasury. This is an honest declaration of a good man who does not desi: e to become wealthy in a few years on the misery of the unfortunate. When the bill comes up 1 wilt keep you posted as to its advocates or its enemies and should any of your members take part against protecting the pockets of the peo ple to enrich mercenary A Mormon they will havo to remain at home for the future. Not* withstanding the Republicans boast of their ten thousand majority the people can and will sweep them from power. You would be amused to beur petty politicians from your county talk, “they will not allow compromise,” hut when they reach Washington they will find their leading men the advocates of com promise. Mr. Marshall read in pla;e an act to provide 1 for the appointment of an additional law judge in Allegheny county. If the business was properly devided and by an act givt power to Judge Mellon to bear and dotnrrniuo I cases in the District Court this w -uld do away \ wilh the expense attending the creation of a 1 new Judge, not required, and if thy present genllemon, crushed with the dignity and | power of Judges, would but exert themselves i a little more there would not bo even business enough for themselves. Judges when seaitd oftentimes become in dolent, and in some cases are not competent to discharge the duties incumbent. Should this bill pas*, then in that event let the people de cide who they desire lo have that position, in place of the Bar deciding. 1 am worth and talent, and would like to see Mr. Mc- Connell occupy a place where he would be use ful to the people; for hts honesty ia proverbial and his legal knowledge beyond dispute.

Senator Cowan passed through en ruuU to Washington, to take his place in tho Senate after the 4th. Ho is ultra against the S .>utb, but his ardor will be cooled when in Lhe U. S. Senate. Mr. Marshall called up ami nad passed a bill to change the place of holding the elections in McCandless township. This is small potatoes to change from a .Democratic bouse to that of one who voted for the opposition. Very likely it was asked lor by the parly who count so largely on the gullabilily of the people. Mr. Marshall is active and extremely attentive to business, and from all I can lear* rather pop ular with his fellow members. Ho U agree able and obliging to all, when older and with more experience ho will make a good member. Mr. Gordon is at this moment addressing the House in favor of appropriating a sum ol money to assist the unfortunate of Kansas. This able member spoke most feelingly and in a religious strain in behalf of tbo starving people. Mr. Bliss followed in a few pertinent remarks in which he took the broad ground of charity and advocated eloquently the dona tion asked for. Mr. Bartholomew then spoke with power and foroeon the same side, let us, said the gentleman, shut our eyes to politics and perform that duty which our natures prompt, then in God’s name let us give freely. Mr. Cowan remarked that not long since we give to the Irish, and now when our own sons and daughters of America are starving, it be comes our bounden duty to stretch out our hands and make the people of Kansas rejoice. The gentleman was mistaken when he re marked that Ireland got or received from the Legislature of any State one cent. The con tributions came from the people themselves, without regard to States or Legislators, the member is not well posted in matters of this kind. Mr. tipe&ber Da via then advocated tho sum named, $30,000, and rather thai» reduce that figure, he would prefer not giving a single cent. Let us not then stultify ourselves by a niggardly pittance, and h® had no buncomb to make; but he would go the whole figure, for we are told that New York give $60,000, and shall the great State of Pennsylvania re fuse a little more than the half contributed by a sister State. Mr. Huhun followed in a heart feeling 'speech that had a telling efieot. I regret to say that members showed gro?s ignorance in regard to the Irish famine, lor in no instance did the people of the Emerald Isle ever receive the smallest favor from legislative aid or assis tance. What they got came trorn the free will offering of the charitable. Mr. Hill Bpoke against the bill and argued that it was a bad precedence to flitter away the peoples money unsparingly without consulting them. This gentleman vAs frequently Interrupted by ques tions from the opposition. Dr. Seltser made his usual rambling remarks amounting to nothing. The member of Erie remarked that it was a question of bread, and we should vole to sustain the necessities of the people. Kansas being a (State can certainly borrow funds like any other State in place of playing the mendicant. But lam confident if an ap peal is madb to the people of the U .States abun dance will orown the effort. lean go through Allegheny county and procure $lO,OOO worth of produce from the generous and Cbrliu&n people who never refuse to beslow freely when called on to save life by contributions. This would be the proper mode in place of dipping Into the State Treasury. I UONsjIdE. Mr. Cameron, and Mr. Lincoln The Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: All doubt previously existing as to the posi tion of General Cameron, with reference to the Linooln Administration, is removed by the positive announcement that ha has been ap pointed Socretary of the Treasury. It is sta ted upon the best authority,and generally cred ited here, that General Cameron telegraphed to this place on Monday that Mr. Llncoln,Mr. Seward and himself called upon John Tyler, President o‘f the Peace Congress, when Mr. Lincoln pledged his Administration to sustain measures of peace based upon the Border State proposition. The Niece of George the Third.

THE DEBATE ON THE'TARIFF BILL. Mr. Douglas and Mr* Bigler* We find reported in the daily Globe the de bate on the tariff bill, in which Mr. Douglas and Senator Bigler both participated. Mr. Douglas said he would not vote for tho final passage ot the bill, because be thought it un wise, at the present timo, to make any radical changes in the existing revenue system of the country. He reviewed the ontiro system of tariffs. In the course of the debate, Mr. Douglas said: Now sir, I desire to invite the attention of the Senate and of the country to the inquiry whether we may not profitably form a commercial union, to comj ride all the North Araeroian comment, on the basis of the Ger man Zollverein. Our continent is admirably adapted to eucb a system. You would at once abolish all the in t-rior custom houses. All those cuNtom-houses upon the northern front.er would be abandoned; all upon the dividing line between us and Mexico would be aban doned; all the internal restrictions upon trade would bo swept and all you would require would be customhouses at the ports on the Atlantic Ant Pacific. Why cannot wo f >rro the whole American continent into one commercial union for commercial purposes, without interfering tu the slightest degree with the political institutions or domestlo policy of the different countries with it’ They have overcome all the difficul tiea growing nut of the practical working ol such a system in Germany, where they were a thousand f>ld greater than hey would in this country; for in the German alliance they have every form of government, large btatesaud email some formed on the repub lican svateiu; large kingdoms, like Prussia, tiaxony and Bavaria, with the small duchiee, like Baden-Baden: yet all embraced in one system. It is one country for oom meioial purposes There is free intercourse, free tr>do between them alh thus wiping out all the asperities And imtatiooH that had grown up lor huu-ireds of years, uotil Germany is being gradually moulded and formed into one people, without interfering at all with the fjrra ot government, ortho pohtcal institutions, or the do mestic policy of any one ot the parties to the oommer cial union. The advantages to our own ooun'ry of suoh a union of alt countries embraced within North America must be obviou-i to every one. It would rowtore and preserve amity and good fatth between tho people of ail the countries who become parties to it. n would eradicate all the Jalousies and hostihtie- which have been en gendered by lawless fillibusteriDp expefitions; and put an *od to all outrages of that kind m the future, it would extend our commerce, navigation, and carrying trade, while it w- uld open up new and extensive mar ireu |nr our manufactures and agricultural products.— It would impart Jataodity, permenaace, and uutr<rmity to our commercial »ystem.

In tho tlr-t price, the Senator conceded, the other daj, that it guards against frauds, and that there are frAuda manifestly practiced under the present system. 1 can show them here m the m*r*t start mi form. 1 I will not enter on that question to-day, btji 1 *%y u hu greater stability and greater certainty as & revenue pol icy.

But, air, what ir more unfortunate in oar expnence is tni«. that pnoee are always higher when importations are largest, and therefore. the great tendency is to tluctustion. Th« system fa- ilitaw»s fluctuation from one extreme to the other.

The Senator from Pennsylvania is under • great mis apprehension if he supposes that 1 Intended to imply lost Pennsylvania wan improperly pursuing such a o ,ur»e as to Increase the Irritation in the oouolry. Far t>e It f:om me to c*sl any »uch imputation upon his State. Ido not think it would haro been just, if it had been done by anybody. Feonaytvauia, in regard to the tanfl. is only pursuing that course that she thinks her m erest, in common with the interest of the whole oouotry, requires her to pur»u«r, and 1 will say to that Beuator, that the duties In this bill, m resnect to iron, commen t thsmtelvea to roy judgment ami to my leoh inga, batter th*o almost any other po/tion of the bill. Tne In'erests of Pennsylvania, so far as coal and iron are concerned, are not peculiar to that Slate. The Iron an I co4J interest, beginning In Pennsylvania, stretches westward through the mountains of Maryland and Vir ginia and Carolina, Tennessee and Keutuoky, and also embraces southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois,and a luge portion of Missouri. What are the interests of Pennsylvania t*-day in regard to Iron will be the interests of the rest of that great iron belt, tlvo, tan, fifteen, and twsnty years hence. I cannot close my eyes to the foot, that all the southern portion of the Northwest, and the northern portions of the alavebold- Ing States, have a common interest, and >rill have a common sympathy with Pennsylvania so far as tho iron interest is concerned, just as fast ns oar means and natural resouroes are cultivated. Hence, sir, it would be far from me to cost any imputation upon that Suue, or upon tho great interest she has so much at staks in this taritl. But my objectiou was, that it was an unfortunate time to bring m a isrifl bill, so repugnant to the feelings of those States which are already trntatod to the point of separating f.-om ua ou other caus-s It was merely addiog more to the irritat.ou; aud 1 would have wished, thereroie, it could hare laid over lor another year, and for the reasons 1 have already suggested, but will not argue, in the remarks 1 have already submitted. 1 did not expect action at this time upon the ideas that I threw ouu they are mere suggestions. 1 think we have arrived at that period when we must enlarge our com mercial policy. I think an American commercial Union, embracing the wlolo of North America, would afford more protections the manufacturing interest, the agri cultural interest, and to every other material interest of this country, at lower duties, than any other system that has been suggested, or tnat can be devised. But I will not occupy the time of the Sonate in en larging upon it. France and England are now negoti ating commercial treaties withaviow to remov.ng re strictions and making those two countries one, ho Ur as commerce and trade are concerned, They have diffi culties there to enoounter that do not exist upon this continent.

"We are permitted to publish the following letter, from a gentleman in Virginia to a friend in this city, which gives a brief and cor rect view of the political feeling in that State. It is a well written, plain spoken view of things, as they appear in the border States: Richmohd, Va., Feb. 2d, lbiil My Dear Sir: Being at leisure this even ing, and conceiving it to be every man's duty, in these times, to transmit intelligence to where it will be of use, aod presuming, also, that you will do your share towards thein struction of the public mind in the crisis which may come upon us, I address you this lot'.cr, in order to give you a correct idea of the pres ent position of political affairs in this latitude. Tho Virginia Convention is, ss you kuow, in Beesion : but this body of men is not of the complexion generally supposed at the North The Union man in Virginia is not such in the sense in which the North understands the term. He is for compromise, and guar antees for the better protection of slavery; but not for the Union whether or no. Secession is, with him, simply a last resort, if bis de mands are not acceded to. Of men who are fur the Union, unconditionally, there are but two In the Convention—Messrs Clemens and Hubbard, from the Wheeling district. John M. Botts was defeated in Richmond on this issue, though the two othor Uuion candidates ou the same ticket were elected by large ma* jorities. A test vote In the Convention, un Wednesday last, showed a very different claai ficalion from that apparently shown in the general election. It stood as follows: Union, (conditionally) 91 ; secession, GO. Now, this majority depends far its contin uance almost entirely upon the peeservation of the oxisting status. Tne inauguration of the policy foreshadowed in Lincoln's Indianapolis speech would change theeondi’ion of things at once ; an 1 the passage of an objectionable force bill, or the rolu3al of Congress to sd »pt what ever plan may be reported by tho Peace Co a* f. ranee, would render the aubmis-ion of a con ditional ordinance of becesiion almost a cer- | udnty Should none of these contingencies i ooc'ir, tho Convention w il, must probably, emb.>dy certain demand? —probably the Crit tenden resolutions, in tne l-»ria of an ultima tum —and submit the quoin j.i to the people— whether these, with secession as the alterna tive, shall be presented to a National Conven tion, if one can bo called. The moderate men of Virginia desire that thing* shall remain as they are until a National Convention can as semble, and the people themselves can decide, through that body, wbother the independence of tho toceded Sistes shall be acknowledged or not, and what changes aro necessary in the Constitution. Granting that ibe present con stitution compels a certain course on the pari of the government —and that, as in this case, the adoption of this course must of necessity produce war—is it not Wetter that these rights should be held ia abeyance for a season, until the voice of the people, constitutionally ex* pressed, can render their exercise no longer obligatory. No one living, as I am, here— right in the heart of the political excitement at tho main hotel of the place—seeing the hun dreds pouring in and cut from all parts of tho State, who come hero to attend the meetings of the Legislature and Convention, and then go back to report —who observes and note? tbe temper of those so doing, and who, like my* pelf, was in attendance at the sittings of tho North Carolina Legislature when the coercive resolutions of the Minnesota Senalo and House of Repeesentatives were received and read to them—no one, I say, can see and bear all this without being impressed with tho fact that this is no child's play guir.g on around him—that the men of tho S-vjih *ra duep’y, terribly in earnest, and that ibis whole section of the country ia liko a vast powder magazine, which needs but spark, such as would bo af forded by a Southern blockade, or an attempt to retake the captured forts, to explode with a desolating violence. It is sup}*osed in the North that a Union reaction ha* produced the results seen in tbe Virginia and Tennessee elections. This is not the case. Secessiontem • has gained steadily in those States. In De cember it had but h slight foothold in either of them, and both, vou will remember wen for the Union candidate m me Pruidenti&t election. North Carolina ia coni 1 servative still than Virginia, and if no un toward circumstance intervenes—tbe inaui;u i ration cf & coercive policy, etc , (for which tho precipitators are praying daily) —sbo will add hers to tbe exphatic protest already re > corded against the unholy work of disruption. But not a stone is being left un*urned to drag these States Into the vertex. Day after day lying telegrams are seen on the bulletin boards, and though they may be proved un true on,tbs very next day—still they have done their work and go travelling through the State, from month to mouth, being hoard and believed by many who never read the con tradictions. Letters aro written from here to Charleston, advising the prompt assault of Fort Sumpter— as that is the only course which will bring all Virginia to arms and unitr the South. And this is in a measure true—so strong is the impatby here, oven amongst ul tra Union men, for the seceded Stales, that wore South Carolina to take the fort to-mor row, unjustifiably as she would act in so doing, this Slate would be In a bIR/.•> of enthusiasm in her favor in twenty-four hours aftor. You may think this strange, in v«aw of the very de cided snubbing which Virginia recently re ceived from that potent republic, but I have yet to flod the Virginian who does, not apolo gise for Lho aotiun of South Carolina in that matter. She sent Air Oomui’Sfionor hero last yp^f—asy they, and we would not listen to him, and she has but paid us iokinl. From what I have aeon, Ijudgo that the feeling in North Carolia is much less in favor uMho acts nf her Southern neighbor than la tho'caso in Virginia. Mr. Lincoln's speeches are d »iog a great deal of harm here. Tb« fellow apparently f-r -gets that he is no longer a village lawyer, de fending a hog thUf or hen-roo.<t robber, before ajary of country hew-gags, but the President elect of a dissolving republic, a position in which every uttered Word of his i» flashed by lightning broadcast through the lan 1, and hundreds of moaning*and cotiatrunUcus placed upon it, of which be, in bia innocence, has no Idea. His Indianapolis speech was an unpar« dooablo blander. If bo had not made up his mind to adopt the policy lo which he directed his hearers' attention, he was guilty of a most unstatesmanlike act, In using language, three weeks before his inauguration, which could not but greatly increase lho impending difficul ties which be would have to encounter, array againßt him a large olaa* of the commu nity who wero willing to give him and his ad. ministration a patient trial, oven under lho secession pressure bearing against them ; and if he had resolved upon sucJh a course, setting aside tho folly and madtio-s of the policy Itself —it was absurd In him to publish It to the world when be had yet noa ly a month before him, pregnant with"events which might ion dor a change of plan ne<'vttiK , ‘y, aDd thus array bis prido of consistency ag.inet tho requisite modifications. I was under tho impression, from reading his Sublished speeches during the campaign with tr. Douglas, that he was a tolerably illiterate, but ablo and Bhrewd man, but from present appearances I think that the sooner he puts himself in the hands of some political dry- nurse, who understands the temper of tho times, tho better. That Lincoln eiearty does not, is shown by his continued reiterations of “artificial" crisis. He probably judges of the state of the country from his own pros pers in life, which as Wo can all see, bavo ma terially improved sinco February last; but at the same time, I doubt whether there is any other man in the oountry who is not consider ably poorer now than ho'was at that time. In tghort, Mr. Lincoln's speeches lisve doubled the labors of the Union men of Virginia and North Carolina. I observe that the Repub lican papers havo a greaf deal to say about the numerical superiority of tho North, and the manner in which it would make Itself felt in case of war. If you wilt examine the Gover nor’s reports of the several States you will there Bee that the South has nearly double the number of drilled volunteers, trained, armed and equipped, ready to take the field at a mo ment’s warning— that is possessed by the North. The preponderance of the latter in this respect would not be observable for at least a year af ter the commencement of hostilities. This af ternoon I witnessed a review of the Richmond regiment, by General August. There were seven hundred and two muskets, four troops of horse,- numbering one hundred and sixty.' eight sabdrs, and two companies of-arttlleryp; one with six rifled howitzers and the other with four brass field pieces. They areeplen- *dtdly drilled and equipped, and all belong to this place, a town 0f40,000 inhabitants. Stress is also laid upon the supposed fact that an invasion by the North would inevitably be followed bytan insurrection of the slaves, and that the hands of IMSStith would be paralysed by the foe at their own firesides. That this it the merest folly I have lived long enough in the South to feel fully assured. Many slaves will fight beside their masters, In the great negro insurrection in Tennessee in 1866, and in the very heart of which I was at the time, the twenty-five or thirty negroes who were proved to be implicated, and who were hung in con sequence, had been fully as unsuccessful in ob» taining aid and confederates as were John Brown and his gang. The political excitement here just now res minds one of some of the scenes of English history. Union or secession respectively con stitutes the bond of fellowship among men, young or old, it is all the same; the mere de* claration of principles ensures a reception with open arms from one side or the other. I came here, os you know,a total stranger, and am now caquaioted withmostthe leading Union men of the city and a number in the Convention. In or dinary times I would probably never have knqwn any of them. Our hotel isin fact a sort of third house in the evenings. Many of the members of both Convention and Legif laturo are stopping here, and fierce discussions are nightly taking place—a good deal of tem per being shown on both sides, and with fre quently a disposition to supply a lack of ar gument with force of blows. But it grows late. Excuse me for boreing you with this epistle. Yours, &c. Naval Expenses.
