I We publish elsewlieere a manifesto recently is-

1 Winter Davis, of the House of Representatives- !
1 from Maryland. It is a carious document—not s<- I
much tor anything- it contains as tor w hat it indt- J
j cates. It purports to aim at protecting the con f
| stitutioual rights of Congress against the usurpa J
| tions of President Lincoln. Its real object is t- j
j defeat bis election and aid the success of the Dem- j
j ocratic party. We have tried very hard toascribt j
i it to some other motive, but we find it impossible.
! It may have had its origin in the arrogance and

Sir—-I am greatly obliged by your letter of th,-
8th instant, which is conceived in the true spirit
of a patriot. If the people stand by the Govern
ment and encourage CoBgri ss to do their dut\
manfully, there is not the slightest danger about
the public debt. Our peopie are committing an
act of great folly to be buying property of all kinds
at ten times what it will bring when the war i*
over, while foreigners are buying their t’>, 7 and f*
per cent, bonds and carrying them abroad. These
bonds will bring more in sp. cie w hen peace comes
than they are bringing now in currency, and we
will have to pay these strangers in full whether 1
we wish or no-; whereas, if we kept the bonds at j
home, we w ould get back all the taxes collected to j plies will probably I

By tlie extracts which we have published from
northern newspapers, it will be seen that the Van
kee officers recently exchanged off this harbor have
given most pathetic accounts to iheir people of the
Presidential -Movements In the Initcd Stairs
From the New York Daily News.
There was a meeting held in Hope Chapel, on
Wednesday, of men who exeiciso a more thau
common influence upon the politics, of the day,
and whose deliberations may jhape the course of
events that shall rescue the country from the
chaos of doubt and distraction into which section
al fanaticism and reckless corruption have, for the
time, unhappily plunged it. Among them were
men famous in the State, men of pure life, lofty
patriotism and known rectitude of purpose, who
have givi-n power to the Senate, added dignity to I
the Bench, and tilled acceptably the highest otfi
ees in the gift of the people. They do not appear
| to have come together to caucus for power aud
place—to subseive private interests by barter of

in the issue merges in their political and personal
resentment. -The real crime of President Lincoln
in iheir eyes, is not that he lias in any way nr to
any extent invaded the rights of Congtess, or
usurped power not conferred upon.him. hy the
Constitution; hut that he has evinced ii purpose
to restore the States to their old allegiance, and
tiie Union t.o its old integrity-, upon terms more in
conformity with the spirit of Republican Govern
ment than those which they seek to impose. Ilis
invasions of Congressional rights.—his usurpa

Citizens of Mississippi.- In accordance with a Jaw j
of the Legislature, passed yesterday, I have this day j
issued my Proclamation calling oil all white males ,
from sixteen to fifty-five years of age, capable of bear- •
ing arms, to assemble forthwith at Macon, Brandon, I
Grenada or Okel-.ma, to repel onr invaders.
Ail detailed and exempted men, not actually in the .
Confederate service, are liable under this call. Judges !
and one clerk for each court, one Sheriff to each conn- ,
ty, the Legislative Di-pai tinent, one commissioner for
policy of tbe Convention to be held tbpre.
The primary object of the distinguished Penn
sylvanians, at whose instigation the Conference
was calbd, was doubtless to canvass, and as far
as possible harmonize the viewsof the delegates
on-the vital’, the all-absorbing question of peace;
and to ascertain, by a comparison oi identical or
conflicting interests and opinions, what candidate
would be most likely to concentrate to bis support
j all the elements of opposition to tbe Lincoln Ad-
3nll’f ministration- Tbe meeting was ati ictly private,
! and little more could bo obtained by our reporter
j tfian a general idea of what transpired during a
j somewhat prolonged and animated discussion.—
i Senator Weller of California, presided, aud briefly
| stated tbe purpose for which they had assembled.
Addresses were made by Judge Black, Fernando
Wood, Ex Governor Thomas 11. Seymour and
| Chie3 Justice Lowry, in which the cause of peace
was strongly and ably advocated, and the advisa
bility urged of nominating at Chicago a states-
! man, who will pledge himself to use his utmost ef-
j fortsto bring about a cessation of tbe cruel couflict.
