CoNGREss.-The naval appropriation bill has been
passed. with amendment authorizing the construc-
ton of six more war vessels The Southern embers
mostly opposed the appropriation for the vessels. Mr.
Crttendea presented Union memorial from Massachu
sets signed by $4,000 Sumner attacked it, and
said the day for compromises had passed.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent in communca-
ton stating that there but half million of dol

the Northern bankers have resolved to loan the Gov

adopted resolving that neither Congress: the people,
nor the Governments of the non-slaveRoding States
have the constitutional right to egiSlate upon inter-
fere with slavery in any of the States of
the Union" This resolution is concession, for but
few of the abotonists have contended that Congress
or the peope of the non-slaveholding States had
power slavery in the States.

THE PEACE CONGRESS.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch,
speaking of the Convention now in session in
Washington, says:
WASHINGTON, Feb II, lS61.-Guthric's prop
oston is all the talk. 1t is substantially Critten-
den's amendment toned down to the very level of
the Border State proposition. 1t gives protection
to ''involuntary servitude"-not slavery; the con-
science Of the North forbids that odious word
in the existing territory south of $3.50. AS to
future territory, it prevents further acquisition
in any direction. This proposition may pass the
House, but not the Senate. 1t is believed that
Lincoln will do all he to force it through the
strAight-out Republican ranks.
But suppose it does pass. Are we any better
off than before? 1t is true we have fine premises
on paper. Yet they are not whit stronger than
the Constitution fairly interpreted. No guarantee
of power to enforce these promises is given even
limited at. The right Of property in the African
as existing under the present Constitution has not
been admitted by solitary Republican The very
name Of slavery studiously avoided Sectionalism
is unimpaired. Equality is not attained. Coer-
cion has not been abandoned.
Opinions differ widely as to the ultimate result
of the Peace Congress. Some who have been
sanguine heretofore, are now respondent; others
still hopeful. The papers Of this morning
state that Ex-Presdent Tyler fears that measures
unsatisfactory the Border States will be adopt
ed I am told that the Commissioners from Ten.
nessee will accept terms much more moderate
than those called for i'll the resolutions Of their
Legislature.

that Congress will authorize Its submission 10 the people,
