^•AiffY leadfng oigan ftf that party thinks of
Lincoln sod his Administration. Our readers
will recollect that we, a few days ago, denoun
ced the whole concern aa a set of cowards.—
The way the Times pours hot shot into them,
confirms us in all that re theft -'id. We shall
have no war with such a weak, vacilating and
incompetent power as now controls things in
United States Government. That power is too
flowardly to go to war with us, and too seme-
less to prosecute a a ar if it were begun : or, if
nartiaa in tha field—a Union the fiols who now control that Government,
should commence a War with us, either of their
owu accord, or should he forced into it by their
Congress, we shall havo hut littlo trouble in
defeating every movement they will make and
soon conquer a panes. If Lincoln had been a
brave man and a statesm in, he would long
since have taken a bold stand, ouo way or the
other. Let him rock along—it all will result
in benefit to u« ; mid let un say again to our
readers, that they may have no mure fears cf
the renalt. But see what tho Times thinks of
Lincoln and his policy :
44 It is idle to conceal the fact that tho Ad
ministration thus far has not met public ex
pectation. The country lor la no more assurance
as to the future,—knows nothing more of the
probable results of the secession movement,—
than it did on the day Mr. Buchanan loft
Washington. It sees no indications

This is a strong tfaket of good and wall tried
men—most of whom are well known, from
their public career, to onr readers.
The Union party hare adopted the meaning
lass, worthless propositions of that so called
Psacs Con fare noe at Washington, and advocate
nn adherence to tha Union at al I hasards. We
•hall watch tha progress of this canvass, and
keep our readers posted.
In order that all may form an intelligent
opinion of tha difference between the Critten
den plan, and the Peace Conference proposi
tion, we annex them both. Mr. Crittenden’s
resolutions contained this proposition :
“ In a 1! the Territory now, or hereafter to be,
acquired, North of latitude 38 degrees and 30
minutes, slavery, or involuntary servitude, ex
cept as a punishment for crime, is prohibited;
while in all Territory South of that line, slave
ry is hereby recognised as existing, and shall
uot bn interfered with by Congress, but shall
be protected as property by all the departments
of the Territorial Government, during its con
tinuance. All the Territory North or South of
said line, within such boundary as Congress
may prescribe, when it contains a population
necessary for a member of Congress, with a re
publican form of Government, shall be admit
ted into the Union on an equality with the
original States, with or without slavery, aa the
Constitution of the State shall prescribe.”
The language of the Peace Conference reso-
lutioos on this subject, is as follows:
44 In all of the present Territory of the Uni
ted Ststes, North cf the parallel of 38 degrees
30 minutes, North latitude, involuntary servi
tude, except as a punishment for crime, shall
be prohibited. In ail of the present Territories
9 >uth of that line, the status of persons he’d
to involuntary servitude or labor as it now ox-
ists, shall net be changed, nor shall any law
he passed by Congress or the Territorial Legis
lature to hinder or prevent the taking of such
persons in tha States of this Union to said Ter
ritory nor impair any rights arising from said
relation, bot the same shall be subject to the
judicial cognisance of the Federal Courts ac
cording to the course of the common law.”
Now, we ask our readers to note the differ
ence between these two propositions: The first
is honest, as far as it goes, and was intended to
be plain and unmistakable by its author. The
other is intended to be a oheat and to deceive.
It prohibits slavery in the Territories North of
:!0 degrees 30 minutes, the same as the Critten
den propoeition ,* but then mark the difference 1
The Crittenden plan recognises slavery as ex
iting South of that line, aud declares that it
•hall be protected, as property by all the depart
ments of tha Territorial Government, and that
Congress shall not interfere with it. The Peace
Conference plan says, that in h 11 the Territo
ries Booth of 38 degrees 30 minutes, the status
of persons held to service or labor, as it now
exists, shall not be changed by Congress or the
Territorial Legislature; “but it shall bo subject
to ths judicial cognisance of the Federal Courts
according to the course of the common lose.'*
Now mark the fraud which this proposition
deliberately intends ! Neither Congress nor a
Territorial Legislature shall change the status
of parsons held to service; 0, no 1 but it shall
be entyect to judicial recognition by the Federal
Courts in ths Territory according to common
lose! Hare lathe intentional fraud of tha prop
osition, by those who first framed it These
Courts are to be held in the Territories by such
Judges aa Lincoln will appoint. Ha will ap
point man who will decide that slavery hts no
legal status in a Territory, and that it cannot
exist anywhere by common law!
It is an Abolition maxim, that nothing but
positive local law, enacted by sovereign State
authority, can establish slavery, and that it
cannot exist anywhere by virtue of the Const!-
tution of the United States, nor tha acta of a
Territorial Legislature. These Abolition Judges
will give each decisions •• this, and in this
way rid tha Territorlee, not only of slaves, but
forever prevent their Introduction—without
calling in the aid of their Abolitionised Con
gress and executive, to carry cut their schemes.
This is exactly what tha Peace Conference
proposition amounts to, and was intended to
aecoapllsli; and Ibis is the platform the Union
ntei of Kentucky have planted themselves on.

or, indeed, or any policy beyoud that 4*1* list
less waiting to see what may “turn up." There
are timet when such a policy may be wise;—
but not in presence of nn active, resolute, and
determined enemy. Tho new Confederacy is
moving forward, towards the consummation of
its piALi, with a degree of vigor, intelligence,
and success, of which, we are sorry to say, we
see no indications ou tha part of the Govern
ment at Washington. In spite of the immense
difficulties with which they have to contend—
the poverty of the country, its utter luck of
commerce, of any army aud navy, und of cred
it,—the hostility of its fundamental principles
to the sentiment of the Christian world, tho
utter hollowness of its reasons lur revolution,
and the universal distrust which it encounters
everywhere,—in spite of all these obstacles
aud discouragements, we cannot conceal the
fact that the new Government ol which Jeffer
son Davis is at the head, has evinced a mar
velous degree of energy, aud is rapidly assum
ing the proportions oi a solid and formidable
Power. Within 1cm than six months they have
adopted a Constitution, organised a Govern
ment. putsll Its machinery into working order,
established a commercial system and put it iu
operation, laid the basis of a financial depart
mont, organised an army, secured enormous
stores and munitions of war, and put them
selves in a position to offer a very formidable
resistance to any attempted coercion on the
part of the United States. And wlmt has been
done on our part against them ? What 6iugle
step has beeu takeu by our Government, either
to rssist thair movement from without, or to
appeal with vigor and effect to tho loyalty
which still lives within their borders * Jiffcr*
son Davis will soon have an organised army of
30,000 men at his command :—suppose he de
cides to march into Mexico, or Virginia, or
upon Washington, what organized meaus have
we to resist and defeat his schemes? They
have adopted a revenue system for the express
purpose of depleting and damagingonr com
merce: what nave we done to offset it? With
a blindness and a stolidity without a parallel
in the history of intelligent statesmanship, we
have done everything in our power to aid their
efi'orts, aud crowu their hostil * enHeav< rs with

Rhode Inland Klee lion.
The radical Republicans in this State, were,
by a combia ition of all other elements against
them, entirely defoated in the-late election.—
The result is equivalent to a declaration of the
State against coercion and in favor of a recog
nition of our nationality and an equitable ap
portionment of the public proporty between
tho two sections, if the Union cannot he re
stored.
This result was not unexpected to us. A con
siderable amount of the blood which flowed
through the veins of the compatriots of Roger
Williams still remains iu Rhode Island. The
entire ticket of the conservatives—Oovernor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, mem
bers of Congrats and the Legislature—is ele t
ed. Sprague, for Governor, has 1,661 majority.
Last year he was elected by I,4f 0 majority.
We see nothing, however, in this this elec
tion, to encourage thoso in the border States
who still cliag to the Union, or that will bo in
any degree encouraging to the exceedingly
few reconstruotiouiita that ure in the Confed
erate States.
There are about 23,100 voters in Rhode Is
land ; and a majority of 1,800 is rather small;
and to show the utter unreliability of this ma
jority, it is only necessary to say, that last No
vember, the State gave Lincoln a majority of
4,537, and four years agi, gave Fremont a ma
jority over Buchanan of 4,7S7. Lot no man in
the Confederacy or tha border Slates be de
ceived by this election. Its only agreeable and
encouragablo feature Is, that the people of
Rhode Island have, by a small majority de
cided not to go to war with us.

This nigger-worshiping sheet of tha Id in
stant, line ail editorial, the title of which ie—
“Com? to tho i'oint." It is evidently dissatis
fied with the fray Lincoln is letting matters
drift along, and, like the Times, its black com
patriot, evidently wants a policy. It says i
44 The country, with scarcely ft show of dis
sent, crioeout—If we are to fight, so be it; jf
we are to have peace so much the better; if
the Union can he preserved or restored, gi»d 1

If tbo Secession o' tk8 Gult Slated—aud ol any
more that choose t > follow—Is to be regarded
as a fixed fact, let that he proclaimed, and let
the line of Revenue collection be established
and maintained Ibis side of them.”
Wo hope Old Abe will take notice and govern
himself aoc *rdingly. Wo arc as tired of the
suv|»eoso as philosopher Horace.
But our principal object in alluding to Gree
ley’s paper, was to point out a falsehood which
ho perpetrates in tho editorial > ov under con
sideration. AAor staling that we arc opposed
to reconstruction, except ou “ the basis of the
Jell*. Davis oligarchy,” (We have not said we
would or Would not reconstruct on that basis —
Eds. CoariDEHicr) and that his party are op
posed to concessions to save the country, Ac.,
he says:
“What! will you concede nothing to save
•‘[or restore] the Union?” Wo answer, You
must prove llmt some sort ol possible conces
sion wilt save the Uoion before you have u right
to put that question. Tnu- far, there hut boon
no shadow ot proof afforded that the tece.<sion-
iats would bo induced to forego their treason
by any concession which even you dare |»eo*
pufce to us. You talk of the Critieuden Com
promise—which involves the distinct repudia
tion of Republicanism—but no Secessionist of
the least consequence has offered to aecepteven
that us a solution of our National troubles. On
thocoutrary, the Nullifiers demand nu express
recognition of the right to curry slaves into
every Territory; and not inly that, hut into
every Stato also.”
Now, this is untrue, and uoone knows it bet
ter tiian the Tribune editor. In the Senate
Committee of Thirteen, lust winter, which was
appointed to devise some plan to save the Un
ion, Mr. Toombs distinctly " offered to accept”
the Crittenden proposition, provided the Mack
Republican parly would propose it honestly, and
give evidence that it would be adhc'ed to and car
ried out by them, in g)cd faith as a final settle
ment—never more to be disturbed by them; in
short, that they give us the Crittciidcn propo
sition, and forever hereafter hold their peace.
Greeley, we say, knows this as well as any one,
yet, in the face of it, he has the rccklesHue38
and unblushing effrontery to make the unqual
ified assertion we have quoted above 1
People of the South ! this is tho moral char
acter of the great organ of the Black Party, at
whoso word all tho lesser light’, and the hun
dreds of thousands of the party fall d«>wn and

Consulting the People.
The Black Republican press of the North is
continually harping on tha subject of our peo-
plo not being consulted in our Slate secessions,
like ft crazy fiddler on ft one stringed instru
ment. This comes with an ill grace from
the men who persistently refused for the pro- 4
positions of Douglse or Crittenden to bo sub
mitted to their people. These two patriots
used ell their exertions to have Congress sub
mit either of their propositions to the people
for ft fair and untrsmmeled vote on them j hut
the black majority in the Senate and House
pereroptetily refused.
This is the consistency-the honesty of the
leaders and mouthpieces of that party, which
Is composed of a majority of tho whole North.

Wamjij-voiov. April 4, 1*8J.
The Philadelphia “Ledger.” tl*«* nio*L inde
pendent and mo4t largely circulated paper in
the country, presents the following novel view
concerning ibe St. D mingo affair:
“The United State’ cannot, according b. *.»»•»
principles upon which the Union is founded,
make war upon Florida and recover it, though
they bought it from Spain for tho purposes of
security to tho Union. They will be fin rod to
let it g *. Instead of making enemies of dpsio,
thereiorc, for some fancied uece-sity or auher-
ence to tho Monroe doctrine, the belter course
would be to cultivate the friend-hip of so near
a neighbor, end even sell Florida back again
to Spain, if she wants it, and we cannot or
will not hold it by force. The United States’
title to Florida is intact, in spite of the Revo
lution iu that State, and they could give a good
sad aulficieut title.”
I refer to the fact of the appear inee of the
above in tho 44 Ledger," as perhaps indicating
what may be the popular sontirueut of the
North concerning section'd difficulties, if they
be not amicably adjusted. It is not the first
time that a proposition 1ns been made fondl
ing what belongs to another. A certain char
acter once took trie Saviour up ti nn exceed
ing high mountain and offered, for a consider
ation, to sell all tho kingdoms of the earth.—
However, the further we go along on the road
that the two Governments are at present trav
eling, tho more do new views of the prospect
ive policy of each rise before us. The two sec
tions will be likely to antagonize in what re
lates to Mexico, Central America and tho Went
India Islauds, but might ha united to oppose
European intervention. But our Administra
tion it not acting in tho manner indicated by
the 44 Ledgor ” as most adviaabls, but rather as
if Republicanism required that the Domini
cans shall be protected,. Accordingly, we hear
that tho steam frigate Miuessott, at Boston,
has been ordered to be got ready for sea at
once, as tho flag ship of Commodore String-
ham, who, it is said, ia to command a squad
ron of observation off St. Domingo. This is
thought, by many Southerners, to be a mere
rusa, and that the destination is one of the
Southern ports. Captain Van Brant is to com
mand tha vessel, and Commander Casa, recent
ly ordered to the Bureau of Detail in the Na
vy Depot, is to be Captain of the Fleet. These
geullerncn have feathered their nests very
uioely aa a Bureau of Detail. The Pewnee,
now at tho Washington Navy Yard, haa been
ordered to be ready for sea by Saturday.

Hia Exoellouoy Gov. Brown reviewed the
Volunteer Regiment and Battalion, at l amp
Oglslbope, near Macon, on Thursday last.—
After tbo review, the Governor addreafe I the
Volunteers as follows:
Officers and Soldiers :
The circumstance* which Imvs called for
this rendszvous are of a peculiar charec.er.—
Our fathers bequeithei to us the wisest and
best Government ou me face of the earth. —
The foundnltous upon wbfoh that Government
was bused, were the equality of ibo amirs,
and the equal ;prr.tcoticn of the rights cf the
citizens ol every section of the Union —
Equality of sovereignty, equality ot rights,
aad equality of protection, ate all the Fumh
Over demanded. She has borne much, endur
ed long, but her stern decree has at last gone
forth, that with less than liu-e *h«* never wi l
he content. In the hope of a returning sense of
justice on (be part of the people of the North
ern 8mies, aud for the sake of the Union, the
South Ims long submitted to unjust Congres
sional legislation, which has plundered her of
millions of dollars annually, to build up and
enrich her Northern Conlederatei.
Southern industry has b.eu taxed tor tl s
Northern interests, until our Confederates
there, sustained by our bounty, and pampered
by our liberality, havo grown rich and haugh
ty. Not content with ull the tdvuoiages af
forded them by our tariff seta, navigation
laws and other legislatiuo, intended to tax us
for their benefit, they have even grown inso
lent, and despite our frequent wording* aud
remonstrance*, have assumed to exercise the
right of regulating utir domestic affairs,
according to their own notions of proprie
ty. Not only so, hut ihey have us>*unied to
themselves exclusive owuersldp and control
over the whole territory of the-Union.
When tooutheru blood and Souihern valor
bad won a rich domain, and added it to the
common territory, th y appropriated it all to
their own use, and insisted on excluding tlie
sons of the South from all participation in it,
unless they would consent to occupy it upon
terms of inequality. We demaudoU an equal
participation in the common properly. They
refused to allow it. We then offered to divide
it by a line giving them much the larger per-
lion. They spurutd the offer aud by super
ior numbers iu Congress attempted to drive us
from every incii of it. Nor was this ull, a
portion of their number invaded the soil of a
Southern sister S>ate, aud attempted to incite
insurrection and rebellion, and with fire and
swotd, to spread devastation and ruin over
the fair field of owr unlive South. A power
ful political party sympathizing with this out
rage aud even deifying the demons who per
petrated it, plautiug itself upon a free soil
platform, and adopting tor ns watchword,
Northern superiority und Southern inequality,
has trampled down our friends in the North
ern States, proudly triumphed over us fit the
bal'iot box, and thou taunted us with its arro
gance about Northern strength and Southern
weakness.
But one of two alternatives was left. We
must cling to the Uuion, and become slaves
in it, or we must sunder it• lies and
fre‘ meu out of it. We chose the latter, ntul
seven gulllsot Southern States have re
sumed the powers delegated to the Federal
Government, which had been so wantonly
abused by it. tfovereigu and independent as
each then was, they all met in Convention,
and have formed a new Confederacy upon the
basis of the old Constitution, making such
modifications only, u* ibe experience of tbree-
quarters oT a century had siiuwti to be abso
lutely necessary, und such as might have pre-
j served the old Union perpetually, hod they
! been incorporated into the old ('ouetilutiou,
i and faithfully carried out in prac'ice by (he
j Government. The wisdom of these changes
is so apparent to all, thai even our enemies
are obliged to acknowledge the superiority of
our Hlatesmauship aud sigacity.
The revolution is complete ! A new uation
is born! t.'ivil aud religious liberty are r*
tabhslied ! A Government of equality exists !
And a gtatehtnao and warrior of splendid intel
lectual powers, great prudence, commendnble
caution and enlarged experience, who has
won by his valor ia the field, anti his wisdom
in the Senate, a reputation which has exten
ded far beyond the limits of our continent,
has beeu called to watch over lliia infant giant
in its tender years. Who is not proud to ral
ly around the Hag of his country, when Jef
ferson Davis directs the sword, and presides
over the Cabinet f But 1 must not forget that
Georgia’s great siateeman, whose briiliant in
tellect, clear head, pure heart, and eloquent
tongue have excited for him tho plaudits of
millions of freemen, and the admiration of
civilized man everywhere, occupies the second
place in the Couneils of the Confederate
Blate*. I might refer with pride, to the Cabi
net, with the giant Georgia intellect at its
head, but 1 forbear. With the blessings of
Heaven upon us, aud, with such men as Davis,
Stephens and Toombs si the helm, who can
fear the result ot the voyage ?
But why are you here soldiers ? Is it for the
purposo of iurading the territory of the Uni
ted Slates, or plundering their people ? No.
We are not the aggressors. We rally only in
defence of Southern homes, Southern fire
sides, and Southern altars, which are threat
ened with invasion and destruction. We de
precate war. But if war is forced upon us,
we are prepared for it, and when once com
menced, we swear by our altars, it shall
never terminate till those who provoked it
shall have been the greatest sufferers by it.—
Iu ale prosecution, should we be oompelled, in
self defence, to “carry the war into Africa,”
and seize the Federal Capitol, or even to de
vastate Northern cities, it will not he our
fault. We have only asked to be permitted to
depart in peace from thoeo whom we could no
longer live in peace. In the language of Abram
to Lott, we have said is eur Northern breth

How have they responded to these peaceful
