BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

Our dispatches from Washington given
this morning are of highly important
character. During the whole of yes
terday the greatest excitement pre-
prevailed, and many of the most ex-
travagant rumors were current A
plan, which appeared to find favor, had
been proposed, to refer that portion OF
the Message of the President discussing
the secession movement to a committee
ofone from each of The different States, 10
be appointed by the delegations thereof,
who shall have full charge of the subject,
and report within thirty days an amend'
ment 10 the Constitution which shall set
tie all preseut and future difficulties
This, it was thought, would give time for
reflection AID friendly conference. Mr..
Cobb resigned his position as Secretary OF
the Treasury on SATURDAY., 10 take effect
on Wednesday next. This, it was be-
licved, would be followed by the resigna'
ition of the Georgia Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives. The South Carolina delega-
! ton were all in Washington yesterday,
but had not determined whether they
would take their seats. During the day
several consultations were held between
Northern and Southern members, and
conservative men were Of the opinion
that some plan would be adopted to
preserve the disruption ofthe Union, The
Presidents Message will no. be sent in

calm and conciliatory, but firm and clear.

abe GltarhtIO 3spublItm,
CIeariield, Pa, December s, 1860:
But one Hope of Averting Dissolution,

Within The last few days one or two sug-
restions lave made their appearance,
which, if adopted, and speedily carried in
to cnect may possibly avert the threaten
ed destruction of the Republic, and all its
accompanying horrors. The only one Of
shcse suggestions. that has the slightest
hope in it, is, that Convention of Dele
,atcs from all the States be held forthwith
to revise the Constitution, or rather, to
clearly mark out the Powers and rights
of the respective States; and the repeal
10y the States. of all laws tending in any
degree TO obstruet the execution of the
law providing for he restoration of fugi-
tive slaves and the enacting Of law in
each State, providing that in all cases
where q runaway slave shall be recaptu-
red, and rescued by violence, the county
IN which such rescue took place, shall lie
Liable for costs and damages.
We see no other plan-no other hope.
It is possible this may effect reconcilia-
tor. Il IS the only chance. flour Republi-
IAN friends are ready to retrace their steps
if they are ready 10 60 to work, and un>
10 the wrongs they have been blindly
committing against the South, in violation
Of the Con titution, and in contempt OF
Common justice, they can avert what 9th
arwise will be our destruction.
It is idle for them TO say, "let the South
20 we can do without them" They do
not mean this-for they know that one
-cporotion would beget another, until We
thould have, perhaps, as many Republics
IS we now have States. But even if il
were not SO, the North separated from the
SOUTH would be as weak and impotent as
tho most insignificant of Nations-w;thout
commerce without revenues and totally
supported ny direct taxation Whereas
Us a united peopie--the South 10 produce,
and the North to manufacture, for the
national consumption OF each, we could
continue, as we always have been, the
Inost prospsring nation under the Sun.
1t is for our Republican friends now TO
say what shall be dcne Our fate is, in a
great measure, in their hands. What will
Ghey do?
