P. 4 0 E VOMMISSION,NRS AND MR. LlN
vow( ; On . Monday morning, the,Peace
Commissioners, headed by john. Tyler
and Governor Chase, called upon Mr,
Lincoln—Mr. Chase introduced the del
egatiop. For 111 Mr. Lincoln had 'a
smile and 'a kind word. Be recognized,
with,great cordiality, several orhis for
mer colleagues in Congress, and partie
ularly, expressed his delight with meeting
Rives,and. Summers, of Virginia.; Bar
ringer, of North;Carolina; Johnson, of
Maryland, and some other of the leading
spirits in the Convention. He remarked
thiit they were 'the only men who came
up„in,p,ersonsil appearance, to his previ
ously-formed ideas,
muchpleased.with the recep
tinily and expressed themselves agreeably
disktrAiletotediwith the President elect's
Nyi934l l lkppeartittee.l After the visit of

plied„by saying. that if the ladies desired

MR. Liscoues INAUGARATION:The .
Committee on the Inauguration, at Wash
ngton,,haie*fully agreed 'on their pro
gramme. At.first it was decided to ad
mit the people into the Capitol, but the
objections to this were at - once apparent,
and the usual mode of procedure at pre
viOus inaugurations was followed. The
platform has been erected on th e
Eastern portico of the Capitol. The
assertion of SqutOrn journals that mili
tary and civic , companies will join in any
procession or escort for the President
elect are entirely without foundation.—
No militnry, companies from a distance
have signified their intention ,to, be in
Washington, and those in the city will
not turn oat, of course. The regular
forces ROW : in Washington will , not serve
as an escort.

ilar course was pursued in relation to

of Kansas.
It seems to be conceded that Mr. Lin
coln will endeavor to select at least three
members of his Cabinet from the Border
Slave States: Hon. Ed. Bates has al
ready been appointed, and well-informed
politicians say that Hon. Jno. A. Gilmer,,
of North Carolina, Hon. Emerson Eth
eridge, of Tennessee, Hon. H. Winter
Davis or Hon. Montgomery Blair, of
Maryland; will ^be called upon to fill the

Davis, and Robert Lincoln.
It is uncertain whether Hon. Simon
Cameron will go into Mr. Lincoln's Cab
inet as Secretary of the Treasury or Sec
retary of War. Some of the friends of
Hon. Salmon P. Chase insist that be
will be asked to accept the seals of the
Treasury.
Miss Harriet Lane, it is said, has invi
ted Mrs. Lincoln to accept the hospital

ations with the Texans for the surrender
of the military Property !
Col. Sumner is spoken of as likely to
be promoted to the Geneialship' made
vacant by the resignation of General
Twiggs.
It is well understood here that the
manufacturers'and leading business Men
of Pennsylvania have induced many of
those of your State heretofore opposed'
to the appointment of Gen. Cameron to
the Treasury Department under Mr. Lin
coln, to withdraw their opposition, and
notwithstanding a war is still kept up, on
the part of the, free traders to the Re
publican party, to the appointment of a
tariff man to the charge of that Depart
ment.
There have been strong representa
tions; made for the retention of Messrs.

ent time.

cause of the death was delirium tremens,

however, doubted this, statement, and
strongly suspected that the gay youth
had been beheaded. It is to be hoped
that the,rumor may be unfounded.

THE FREE MASONS ON THE CRISIS.-
Contrary to its , usual custom, the order
of Free Masons has dabbed a•little in
politics. lathe Grand Chapter of the
State of New York, which convened its
annual session at Albany, last week, the
"national agitation" came up for discus
sion. Their action was based upon a
recommendation from a Chapter in Ro
chester that the State Grand Chapter
open communication with Masonic bodies
in other States on the subject of our na
tional difficulties.• This was referred to
a committee, who reported adversely.—
They say that Masonry cannot rightfully
interfeie in the discussion such corres
pondence would provoke ; but they add
that to be stoical or indifferent would be
impossible, and it would be untrue to
say that Masons are or can be indifferent
to their country's condition; that love
for the Union of the States and the Con
stitution is a cherished sentiment of the
Order, and the preservation of that Union
a sacred duty devolving upon every Ma
son. They deprecate the possibility of
internal strife, and call upon the larder
to use every honorable and legitimate
influence to avert such a calamity.--
Their report; after declining to recom
mend •the opening of correspondence,
concludes with the following resolutions,
which were adopted by the Grand Chap
ter :
Resolved, That while we deplore the
present unhappy condition of our beloved
country, and while as American citizens
we would, under all proper and becom
ing circumstances, pledge "our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor," to main
tain the "Union and the Constitution,".
and uphold the Government of the Uni
ted States ; and while we should, as good
men and Masons, earnestly labor, by the
use of all legitimate means, to avert that
great calamity—civil war, yet, as direct
official action on these subjects light be
misconstrued as an improper interfer
ence with the forbidden subject of poli
ties or the intermeddling with matters of
State, we as a Grand Chapter refrain
from further action.
Resolved, That this Grand Chapter
affectionately and earnestly recommend
to the Masonic fraternity throughout the
land, in this day of national calamity and
excited feeling, that they cherish in their
hearts and exemplify in their lives the
cardinal principles of Free Masonry, viz :
Fraternity, Brotherly Love and Univer
sal Charity; and thus, by precept and
example, sooth irritated feeling, allay
sectional animosity and prejudice, and
thereby bring, legitimately' and fairly,
the great Masonic fraternity, with its
moral and conservative principles and
power, to second the efforts of patriotism,
in seeking to avert national disintegra
tion and calamity.
ft; The spring fashions for pantaloons
are already out in Philadelphia, and of
course will soon be introduced here by
the "ton." The favorite style is a nar
row plaid, in enormous squares. Our
reportorial contemporary of the North
American saw a sample last week, which
he thus describes "One bar rests upon
the boot, the next at the knee, and the
third at the hip, the fourth forming the
waistband. The legs of the gentleman
sporting these trowsers reminded us of
the long loop-hole windows in the front
of the Eastern Penitentiary. The color
is a lively brickdust, barred with orange."
