TisurIOW Weed on Existing Diff
cIsieics.

ALBANY, Dec. II.
The Evening Journal, tonight, publishes
| leading editorial from the pen of Thurlow
Weed, taking strong conservative grounds,
and, while firmly maintaining the constitu-
tionality of the principles of the Republican
party, advising such a compromise as will
settle existing difficulties, and avert the evils
at present threatening the Union. The com
promises OF the J0Qrnatare set forth as follows
We are prepared to say that an efficient
but not revolving fugitive slave law should be
| passed, and that the passage should be fol-
lowed by repeal of the personal liberty laws
We are almost prepared to say that the rerr-
| tories may be safely left to take care of them
elves, and that, when they contain popu-
tation which, under the census, entities them
to a representation in Congress, they may
ome into the Union with a st tie government
Of their own framing, provided, of course
that they conform to the Constitution of the
United States This. in view of the surround
ngs of the territory belonging to the republic
IN view of the fact that, for four years at
least, freedom will have fair play--and in view,
also, of two other elements: emigration and
the census-this, we say, almost ccnstrains
is to believe that we may now contine the
future of the Territories to the intelligence
ard patriotism of those who are to inhabi,
them; or, if this suggestion is inadmissable,
there is another which contemplates division
ofthe remaining territory of the United States,
Is in 1920, when the Missouri Compromise
line was established To this we shall be
told that the compact was violated, and that
the South cannot be trusted. Perhaps it
would be SO again, but not in our gen ration,
nor in the next, for indeed would the lessons
# the last six years have been forgotten"
It'll believed here that the Journals article
represents the views of Mr.. Lincoln.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Il.

AsHINGT0N, Dec. IL.
There is no doubt whatever that Gen.
Cass has resigned as Secretary of State. Re-
gret is everywhereexpressed in consequence.
The indications are that Daniel s. Dickin-
son, of n. Y. will be the successor, though
these are net altogether reliable.
There is but little if any confidence in the
assurances that South Carolina will not re-
sist the Federal authority during the admin
istration of President Buchanan. They are
regarded as mele promises to quiet appre-
tensions IN an official quarter.
Gen. Scott has expressed the opinion that
additional forces should be sent to South
Carolina for the protection of the public
property. The President however, is still
opposed to such increase, for prudential rea
sons, being adprehensive that it would bu
augment the present excitement
The publication of the manifesto of ths
Southern members has produced depressed
effect among the conservatives, who say
| that they are now satisfied that the formeI
are opposed to any political compromise
or accommodation whatever
Mr.. Douglas speech next week will be o
coercive character against secession.

A THOUSAND ANIMALS BURNT AL1vE.-We
announced few days ago the burning of
the Pacific at Uniontown, KY, one OF the
finest steamers on the western waters. She
had very large quantity Of live stock on
board, and the burning of these poor creatures
must have been sickening sight. One &C.
count says, Mr.. Robert Ford, passenger,
cut the halter of one of his fine horses, which
swan ashore. A large bullock also swan
out, but died as soon as it reached the shore.
The scene of the burning boat and its thou
sand head Of live stock, all tied to the stake,
prey to the devouring flames was fealful
and horrible in the extreme. There were
seven hundred and thirty head of fat cattle,
mules and horses, all burnt alive, with no
chance of escape. In addition to the live
stock, there was upwards of three hundred
tons of pork, bacon and -four on board,
which together with the destruction of the
splendid steamer, involved q loss of nearly
800 900,

ThurlOyy Weeds Course.


The Albany Eueaing Journal, the leading
Republican paper in New York, edited by the
eminent Thurlow Weed, has lately taken the
back-down chute, greatly to the astonishment
and chagrin OF its friends and Republicans
everywhere. We print q telegram, to-day,
giving synopsis of recent article in which
Mr.. Weed virtually recommends Mr.. Douglas
dogma, which has just been repudiated by
the people. We do not believe the statement
that Mr.. Lincoln endorses Mr.. Weeds
platform.
We are utterly opposed to any concession
or compromise of principle, while we are
willing to make almost any other sacrifice for
the sake of the Union. Butwe doubt whether
any reasonable concessions will satisfy the
South The futility of expecting to keep
South Carolina or any other secession State
in the Union by the humiliation of the North
is demonstrated by the declarations OF the
disunionists themselves. They don't want te
save the Union, end consequently do not ash
for new guarantees. They declare themselves
for separation, permanently and forever. ;
Their treason is CT so deep dye that it canno
be effaced or mitigated by the salve of Northern
concession. In truth, the North has nothing
to concede, unless it is her liberty. Excep
A national slave code can be coaxed or bulliet
out of her, she can pay no premium on threat
Of destruction to the Union. We are stron
IN the faith that the Union men of the countr
viii never humble themselves to beg sue
terms from avowed insurgents and traitors.

BT The election Of Mr.. Jefferson
az President in the year 1900, fright
ened many very worthy but rather YER
dant people in New England and
throughout the country. A cores
pendent Of the National lntelligencer,
who remembers the excitement sixty
years ago, says it was then contended
that MIR. Jefferson's election would
dissolve the Union, our country would
be overrun by paupers and criminals
from other countries, our religion
would be destroyed, our churches closed
and Bibles burnt. None Of these oc-
Cured. The writer adds-"Mr. JEFF
ferson proved to be one Of our most
popular Presidents, the rights Of each
State protected, no churches closed and
40 Bibles burnt. Such, ] dare believe,
will be the course Of MIR. Lincoln; and
f do not greatly err in my Judgment,
le will provet to be one of the safest and
BEST Presidents We ever had"

What an Idea!

1t is said that certain Democratic Senator
has advised the President to precipitate our
country in a war with England, in the hope
that the anger Of the South would be turned
from their own country, and directed against
the foreign enemy. Itwould doubtless have
that effect, but we never yet heard of good
coming from doing an evil. The proposition
is much like that made by Themistocles to
the Athenians, which they referred to Arts
tides, it not being prudent to make the prop
osition public 1t was to burn the fleets O
all the other Greek nations then in the harbor
so that Athens might have the supremacy
Aristides reported that nothing could be more
advantageous to the Athenians than Themis
,ocles' proposition, and at the same tim
nothing more unjust. Without knowing tn
precise nature of the plan, so great was tb
confidence of the people in the judgment o
Aristides, they rejected it. So would tn
American people Of all sections reject thu
proposition, if it should be made to them.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. Is.
1t is understood that Senator Toombs is

should be amended, the amendments should
be such as could neither be evaded or resist

give full and ample security to Southern
rights He adds that if the Republican
party will vote for these amendments, Or
even a majority vote in good faith in favor Of

Elle South Carolina Secession
Convention.


This Convention met at Columbia, on
Monday, and elected Mr.. Jameson President,
on the 4th ballot, by 1lS votes against 80 for
ex-Speaker Orr, and scattering. A resolu-
ton to adjourn to Charleston was passed by
\ large majority, after considerable discussion
The reason assigned for adjourning was the
prevalence of small pox in Columbia. Some
members opposed the resolution because its
adoption would look as though they were
afraid, and would affect the moral power Of
the present movement.
The Convention, after inviting the Com
missionecs from Alabama and Mississippi, and
Hon. Howell Cobb, to seat on the floor,
adjourned till 7 o clock in the evening. During
the day, Gov. Pickens was inaugurated in the
Representatives. Hall. The sentiments of his
inaugural were decidedly firm for secession,
md were warmly applauded.
At the evening session Of the Convention,
the Commissioners from Alabama and Miss
issppi made addresses. Both speeches were
| moderate in tone, and principally went to
show that they (he Commissioners acted By
| 5ne authority of the Governors of their re-
,pective States, and in accordance with the
! desires of a majority of the people of their
| States. a resolution was adopted appointing
\ committee of 81 to draft an ordinance to be
adopted by the Convention. In the course
Of the discussion, Mr. Cheever stated that
there was but single voice within the St. te
| of South Carolina; the first aim was to break
the chain of the Union, and the next step to
study the point of direction.
A dispatch from Branchville, S. c., dated
II o'clock, Tuesday, states that the train from
Columbia, with 400 delegates to the Conven-
ton and members of the Legislature, had just
arrived. The Convention was to re-assembe
jim Charleston, at o'clock P. M. that day.
