A WORD or ADVICE.

The meeting at the Office of Mr. Richard
LatLers takes place to-day at noon. This meet
ing is called by Messrs. Watts Sherman, Wash
ington Hunt, Erastus Brooks, John A. Dix
Gerard Hallock, and others, 90 for consultation
." and mutual counsel, with view to the adop
" ton Of such measures, if any can be devised
"as will tend to heal the present disseosons
" and restore our once happy country to peace
Z" ful and harmonious relations"
We will frankly tell these gentlemen what
they can do 10 accomplish the object they have
in view. 1t is to state in the MOST solemn and
impressive manner that they have all along beea
disappearing the Republican party; that they
are in their hearts convinced that it has no in
tenton and desire to interfere with Slavery
in any State where it exists; and that it will,
beyond all doubt, respect aud maintain every
right established by the Constitution, 1t is pos
sibe that it may require an effort on the part o.
some of these gentlemen to state these simple
truths in manner TO be- heard and believed but
if they sincerely and heartily desire to euJ the
present distractions, and save the Union, let
them Overrule their self-lOye and make the
effort. There can DO no question that the exist
ing excitement in the South is due in great
measure to the Interpretations respecting the
Republican party which have been circulated for
political effect. Let these Interpretations be
corrected, aud the excitement must decrease.
One of the gentlemen who have called this
meeting has already had experience in retracting
unjust and calumnous political accusations. We
refer to Mr.. Watts Sherman, who, in his ca
pacity as member of the notorious Fifth
Avenue Committee, lately begged pardon of Mr.
Gerrit Smith, and paid the heavy expenses OF II
law suit, for having brought charges against him
which were untrue. Let him now do as much
for his country as he has done for himself under
the pressure of prosecution for libel; and let
his associates zealously join with him in doing
it, and thus they will prove that they are not
mere partisans, but patriots, who are able in
such a crisis as this, to rise above prejudice and
passion, and correct the evils of which they are
themselves, in great measure, the authors.

THE KANSAS FAMINE.

We cut the following items from The LecrsHee Re.
1nblican of the 9th of December:
RELIEF Provisions FaTIsG.--We understand thas
FRI m 100 TO $50 teams from the interior are now IN
Atchson, waiting for supplies, which have given orr
recent accident the breaking Of a br1dgel on tho
Hannibal ard st. Joseph Railroad has detained soue OF
n pr,,rins which were route for tho Territory.
The infamous fall ehoOd Of Judge Williams, that under
II guise of "relef goods, supplies, arms, &C., were
being sent to Montgomery, has been made preext oy
son of the railroad companies for raising the freighe,
which has caufed some embarrassment. IL Is hoped,
however that recent contributions will soon arrive, 40
that the Relief Committee will no. no Obliged to send
any of tie needy empty away But if now, In the
firtt DAYS of December difficulty begins TO be realized
in supply ing the wants Of the destitute, what shall we
zee in February or March, in May or June God
only knows " hat If to bes ONE Of our people!
No PyRvERsIoN or TIE AID TO TIKI SUFFERERS
OF KAssAs.-We wish our Republican exchanges NJ
IL East would reterae the fact that no arms or AM
nuIirion whatever lave been sent To Montgomery
from the Fast, marked AZ Relief Goods, Rsef
for Kansas" nor anything of the kind. IL he and his
n en- have arms they such IA have been IA the
Territory for years. Neither have any provisions been
scnt to Montgomery or his men. Hardly q pound OF
the relief proyirions has been sent to Linn County q
ALL although the peoIle Of that county are as de.erv.
il Of assistance as any in the Territory. The report
thai Il contributions of the East have been perverted
TO the supply Of Montgomery is utterly false, and is
circulated b, Pro-Slavery and Democratic journals 10
prevent aid from being extended to our suffering
teOple.

The Journal Of Commerce sees no hope for IN
immediate and unconditional repeal of the Personal
Liberty laws in all the States. Still less does 1t
zee reason to expect that the Republicans will be
brought to give hearty assent to tho extension
of Slavery.
Isn't it surprising that party which has just
fought and fairly won great political battle that
turned mainly upon the extension oil Slavery
should not be ready, the next day after the cleo
ton. to turn around and resign all it has con-
tended for because its defeated opponents threaten
TO destroy the Government, and because, by their
lawless course, they have already deprecated the
value Of property by hundreds of mlions' In
stead of yielding. tue Republicans think it is best
10 have the matter all out now, so that tho coun-
try may not be exposed to repettions OF the same
wckedness and folly

EIGHT OF VISIT.

The President. in his annual message, men,
tons as a source of sincere satisfaction TO all
elosses of our citizens and especially TO those en-
Gagged in foreign commerce, :" That the claim on
a. the part of Great Britain, fOrcbly to visit and
"s,srcb American merchant vessels on the high
.. seos. has been abandoned" This, we think,
is stating the British claim, at least so far as IL
WAS ever attempted to be carried into practice'
in rather stronger terms than the iacts Oh inc
case would warrant However that may be, We
are happy to learn, from the instructions Oh the
Secretary of the Navy to the Flag Officer OF the
African squadron, as printed ana iaid peiore
Congress, that our Government tOO mas aoalou
not little from the extravagant clam origin
aIv set I'M az to the immunity which our nag
carries with it.
According 10 that claim, as originally put for
forward the right of search aud the right OF
visit were one and the same thing, AS the rgn'
Of search was exclusively belligerent right 30
WAS the right of visit also. In time oil peace no
such right existed. To visit on American 'es'ei
after she had hOisted the American nag was
trespass. The flag Itself was sufhclent pro'ec'
ton to every American vessel on when IL was
hoisted. 1t was in this shape that MI Oa''
doctrine gave such satisfaction t. the slave
traders, who hoped that the mere hosting OF
the American flag, whatever might be the ma
tionality Of the vessel. and whether her papers
were regular or not, would henceforth protect
them from the visit. Of British cruisers.
We are Glad to see that the Instructions to the
African squadron expressly repudate this idea
"The United States do not ciaim," say these
INSTRUCTIONS, that the mere hosting Of our nag
should give immunity to those VINO Da'e 'Ho
4" right TO wear it," In the very language uSed az
fine time when this subject was under diScu'Sion'
by those who opposed the ultra claim set up oy
MIR Cass these Instructions add: such
1" pretence would subject it to degradation and
" dishonor, because it would thus be mads
"eoyer for piracy and other crimes OF q similar
e" atrocity." The Only persons to whom Tue nag
az tbe United States is to give absolute ihilu'
nifty are citizens of the United States VINO risn'F
DISPLAY il. But how is a British or other iorels"
n,,';se, 10 know that the flag of the United States

tories ard be projected there during their Terfi-

Dir. Curtis introduced series Of re olutions
declaring secession to be revolution. and invov
ing war, and pledgiDg the Committee to sustain
the Union Mt all hazards.
This led to an animated expression from South
crn members. who declared il Cancellation was
the object it could not be attained by such means.
Mr. Curtis then withdrew the resolutions tenn
porarily, but they will probably be renewed on
some future occasion, and the sense Of the Com
mittee tested.
Some general but uninportant discussion fol-
lowed, and the subject was postponed for another
meeting. 1t is very evident from all the ndica-
tons that the extreme South intend to demand
protection for Slavery in the Territories as sine
qua non, and that failing to obtain it promptly,
the Gulf States will secede, with the expectation,
however, of being invited to return, under new
guarantees, or with what they call RECONSTRUCT
ton. This is the programme, in plain terms,
however disguised it may be By evasions or gen-
eralities.
