Yesterday was the day on which Lincoln was inaugurated Pi vsidcnt of the United States. A few days wil determine the policy of his Ad ministration on the great question of peace or war with the Confederate Slates. Recent indications show a determination to make so much concession of anti slavery principles as will retain the Border States in the old Union. If this is done, there will be no war. The South is for peace, and only asks to be let a'onc. The Border States are against coercion, ami will sooner j > n the seceding States than enter into a wa> - with them to f>rce them back into the Union. Lincoln has then to choose between driving oif the B irder States at once, if he adopts the war p.rliey of Black Republi canism, and, on the other hand, abandoning . . ° ail plans of coercion, and consequently adopt ing the p dicy of a peaceful recognition of the Confederate States. A. prompt decision must be made. The emergency will admit of no de lay. I’i-.jb.ibly before the next issue of our p iper the great question will be decided. The South is prepared for either contingency. We prefer peace. But if war is forced upon us— I a war of snl-jugati >n —the Confederate States will meet it as becomes a people fighting for existence. - c♦ I At a l ite meeting of the States Rights par ty in San Antonio, the Hon.

Courier. The Effect of the Resvi.t in Tennessee Abroad. —A letter has been received from a citizen of Memphis, now in Washington, a well informed and sensible man, one who would have voted the Union ticket hud Le liei'it there at the election, in which lie says ■ that the Tennessee delegation, in the Peace j Congress, have been completely shorn of ! what iuiltieiice they possesed by the news ol . the result in Tennessee ; and (hat for all prac tical purposes their absence would be as use ' fid as their pres nee. This is just what we I exp- eted. Tennessee, by her own voice, has '. I said that she has no wrongs to allege, there- ’ i(HU UU tUlilpiVlDi U u. 1». r l>le*y KHk j (lU | lie.ins hail her as their ally instead of a party j to the indictments against them. On the other ■ hand, the soutlierit nun contemn her as a ' ’ . i base and treacherous sister, unworthy of their i respect and too co’’tcrnptible far their hate. — | There the gentlemen who lepresent her in the Peace (’(ingress sit in humiliating contempla tion of the disgrace which their State has brought upon herself, with nothing to say in demanding southern rights, because the North holds up the verdict of her people as denying that she has any grievances to allege, tm 1 de mands to make. A majority of her delega tion, known by us to be gentlemen of the highest spirit, must indeed feel how treacher ously they have been betrayed by those whose honor ami l ights they had gone to Washing ton to protect and defend. That they will return home we have no doubt, and cease con nection with a thing in itself ant ickery, the more so now in view of the position of Tennes see; If the leaders of (he Union patty do not now see the contumely into which they have aided j in bringing this State, then they are possessed of a happy degree of imperception, at this time, when to see as they should see would open to their vision a degree of responsibility fearful indeed in the consequences which it entails.— Mem.
