bation which have obscured his real character,
and that of the party, whose standard he bears,
roll away from the view. Stretching out our
hands to the South over this victory, we have no
word of taunt to utter for the threats of disunion

of this success: we see a reign of peace from slaver3r-
agktation, established simply by that circumscrib-
ing o f slavery within its local bounds, and that film
deferree of the integrity of national freedom, which
this triumph of the Republican party on the 6th of
November, 1860, seals now and henceforth."
The .11`-ev York _Express says :
" For the first time in the history of our Govern-
ment, we have a President ejected exclusively by a
sectional vote, and by the arncy of a party or-
ganised ..eographically. The cornsequenee of this
departure from the chart of Waohiligton and from
the spirit of the Federal ConstiVitison remains to
be seen. We deplore—deeply deplon" it—and yet
as good citizens, it is our duty to make the best of
it, and acquiesce in it, as under t forms
of, if not in the spirit and intent of, tha' Consti-
tution. What our Southern countrymen tliay do
remains to be seen ' • but we hope their app.ehen-
sions will be soothed, if not assuaged, by the fact
that the House of Representatives as well as the
Senate are to be Conservative, and cannot be
wielded for destructive principles against the Statoo
of the South. We are well aware, however, that
the apprehensions of the South come not from Con-
gress, but from the Northern States themselves_
their personal liberty bills, their underground rail-
roads, their incendiary publications, their judicial
decisions, as in the Lemmon case, and from that
general feeling of hostility which the States of the
'North manifest against the States of the South, and.
\vhich, as the South fears, must end in the revolu-
tion of the Federal Judiciary, and thus in the over-
• -4rodieltdl itiAretVairOonstitution
protection these States have had since the founda-
tion of the Government and of the old Confedera-
tion. We hope and trust the newly-elected Pre-
sident will avail himself of the earliest opportunity
to cut himself loose from the passions and preju-
dices that have elected him, and so give a pledge to
the now fermenting Southern States, a pledge that. 41,
he himself means nothing, whatever his party or•
partisans may n.lean by the election."

Foy of the 2d Cavalry, at the request- of citizens of

Official ,olespatches received at Washingtoir from
Peru represet; t that Mr. Clay had demanded his
passport, at the same time addressing a note to
the Government

dent Castillo was taken by surprise, as he had
been led to believe tialt his proposition, which had
been forwarded by Mr. Clay, would be acceptable

ment transmitted Mr. Clay's passport, with a reite-
ration of their argument in Answer to his note.

notee are from the same plate, with the names of
