VIRGNIA.-The Washington Star, edited by
Virginian, said on Saturday, that the seces-
sion feeling is on the decrease in Virginia. and
that at the present moment, not one tenth of
her people are inclined to have their State
made bob to the South Carolina kite. Our
own private advices are of the same tenor.
A gentleman from the Norfolk region in
forms US, that the number of secessionists there
does not exceed fourth Of what it was thirty
days ago. Similar intelligence reaches us
from various quarters.
1t is undoubtedly true, that the first blush of
opinion was, that, however reluctant, Virginia
would be forced into union with the cotton
States, in the event of secession, in order to
save the market for her negroes, and to pre-.
vent the reopening of the African slave trade.
But this opinion is yielding to discussion and
reflection.
1t is perceived that the cotton States will
not be restrained from the slave trade by re.
gard for the interests Of Virginia, whether Nir.
ginia joins them or not; that if they are re-
strained, it must be by coercion and that the
maritime States would have a motive to apply
this coercion, in the interest of Virginia, if
Virginia remains with them, but no motive 10
apply it. if Virginia leaves them.

Prospectus of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press of the
National Metropolis, we have embarked in the
enterprise of supplying the citizens of the District
Of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against it, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield it cordial, but not servie support In
the great issue that is likely TO be made with his
administration, by the enemies of the Republican
party, the people of Washington AMI the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the peopl.
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the macbin-
ations of those who would rend 1t asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority of the people of this District and vcin-
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as medium of general and local
news it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity Of the city, and to the advance
ment Of the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem 1t unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 a year, payable in ad-
vance.
The publication office is at the corner of Indi-
ana avenue and Second street.

PACIFIC RAILROAD.

In the House, December IL, Mr.. Scott, of
California, presented letter from William Rabe,
Esq., Secretary of the Pacific Railroad Conven
ton, accompanied by four volumes of the jour.
nal of that Convention, composed of dele gates
from the States of California, Oregon, and ad.
jacent Territories. Mr.. R. says in his letter.
" The proceedings and reports Of committees
have the honor herewith to transmit, contain
the views and experience and wishes of the
people of the Pacific coast, and large amount
OF information collected from various quarters,
on the traffic, internal and external, connected
with the regions west of the Rocky mountains
The people of those regions are loyal 10 the
Union, which has fostered them and given
them strength, and they look to Congress for
the building of the railroad which will unite
them with their Eastern brethren with an iron
and indissolube bond. And they fervently
hope that their anxiety to be in easy communi
cation with their friends in the Atlantic States,
along the whole of the United States, from
Maine to Texas, will be reciprocated."

Items Telegraphed from Washington.

Washington, Dec. l7.-At the meeting Of
the Pennsylvania delegation last night, inclu.
ding the two Senators, Mr.. Stevens alone being
absent, the following resolutions were unani.
mously adopted:
Resoired, That in our judgment it is the
opinion of the people of Pennsylvania that the
constitutional rights of all sections should be
respected and secured.
Resolced, That oil the laws should be faith.
fully and promptly executed, and that the Union
of the States, the Constitution and laws Of the
United States, should be maintained and en-
forced in all their integrity.
At the conference of the Ohio delegation to.
night, all were present except Senator Wade
and Representative Wade. Though no resolu-
ton was passed, the concurrent sentiment was
the maintenance of the Union and the enforce
ment of the laws.
The members of the New York delegation
met on Sunday night at J ohm Cochranes room,
to consult upon future action, without regard
to party lines. Mr.. Reynolds introduced reso.
luton, drawn by himself, affirming, after pre-.
ambe stating the basis of the present Union
and Constitution, that the Union must and shall
be preserved, pledging New York to the sup
port ofit. Slavery extension and the right of
secession and coercion are ignored altogether.
The language is very conciliatory, but calm and
decided. The proposition met with general
support, except on the part Of Mr.. Sickles, who
introduced an amendment proposing meeting
and consultation between the New York and
Virginia delegations upon the crisis of affairs,
for the purpose of securing a union of action
between those two great States. Sickless prop.
osition met with no general favor, and was not
adopted. Feynoldss was adopted by almost
unanimous consent only Sickles, Barr, and
Maclay, opposing it strongly. Briggs, Coch-
rane, Haskn: Clarke, and all the Republicans,
supported it.

THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTY.THREE.
In this committee, to-day, on motion Of Mr..
Morrill,, Of Vermont, the propositions of Mr..
Davis, Of Maryland, relating to the fugitive
slave law, were referred to subcommittee, to
consist Of the members from the border slave
and border free States.
The subject Of the Territories was then taken
up, and the Southern members proposed as
their ultimatum, that the Constitution be so
amended as to secure property in slaves in all
the present Territories, and in all territory
hereafter to be acquired.
This comprehensive proposition, which covers
the whole ground quite down to Cape Horn,
was very zealously urged by Mr.. Phelps, of
Missouri.
We suggest, as an addition to it, that nego-
tiations be opened for some region in Africa,
to which the white laborers of this country
may be transported.
