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 wstassssisasss^ ostlion to the North aa an ultimatum, and if rejected by tbatneatioo, sepedf.

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. We rejoiee in (he eyidfnces wa set dally, that tbeaa ttneoadHlopal-Peace-Conference Union- ioaiate* aa* greatly in tha minority in that Stela. war Tha Vicksburg Git teen announses that 44 The Choctaw Nation has acknowledged the independence of tha Soathern Confederacy.” Tkat Nation has always been friaadfy to tha South.

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 complete success.” 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. The New York Tribune* 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 but if it cannot be, let us understand the lacl end acquiesce in it. At All events, let this in tolerable suspense and uncertainty cease.” Aud again t 41 If the Union is to be maintained at all has ards, lot tha word be passed along the line that the lews are to bo enforced, aud tire People stead ready to respond with heart and hand.— 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 worship their fret* nigger duly ! 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.

Gur Special Washington Corre*p»iidcnr<»* 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. Purser George W. Clarke, attached to the Powhatun, at Now York, has resigned, and Purser Gulick has been ordered in bla place. President Lincoln was present, last avening, at a party on tha occasion of tha waddiag of Lieut. Moore, of tbs Marine Corps, to Miss Buchanan, a daughter of tiia Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard. This is an ipno- ration upon tha eostom heretofore prevailing, that ths President should not sttend private parties. Mr. Kest. a Clerk In the Nary Depot, was sent away very mysteriously by tha fieeretsry of the Nary, as a bearer of despatches, Hia destination is ooi area known to the Clyrhs in the Densrtioent. ,T * >1 Mr. Fox, United States Nary, who was al tba White House yesterday, to report furtbet concerning Fort Sumter, slated to-day that them would be a fight at the South. I haar, in a Rood quarter, that a Cabinet officer so stated yesterday. Tha Itepnbiicah papers here says, to day, that Got*. BfcAt has drifted arrangements 2ov. Brovrn’» Address to the Departing Volunteers* 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.
