exhaustion Of all peaceful means Of settle
ment, before a resort to forcible measures
should be countenau&6.
We did not take them with the understand
Republican party, but with the understanding
that in case Of conflict partyism WAS to yield
to patriotism. The only reservation was that
no one would be hold bound to support con
cessions, or to do any other net, which In view
of nll his duties, he could not reconcile to his
conscience or his homer.
lwould, therefore, for myself and Democrat
ic friends, protest against the attempt to
couple in any way the declarations Of that
meeting With the platform or SO called princi-
Piles Of the Republican patty or any other party,
except to show that that platform and those
6o-called principles must be abandoned when
they are found to conflict with duty to God
and our fe1loW-men.
Neither do we consider ourselves committed
to the policy of making WARRIOR vengeance or
destruction, but only In the event that 1t shall
appear at the time to be required BY the Con-
the Union Of the States, and the general vel
farc.
In the words OF Judge Douglas, In his recent
great speech, "While VIC affirm that the Con
sftution was intended to form perpetual
Union-while (we) affirm the right to use all
will not mediate war nor tolerate the idea,
until after every effort ut adjustment has been
tried and fniled.''
Although most Of the Republican papers md
many Of their leaders In this locality have de-
clared agufnst concession, trust that the con-
seryative nnsses Of tint party will continue
disposed to make ttgrcat concessions" and
dcspising party drill in this time OF public
danger, will stand firmly By the Democracy in
their patriotic efforts to restore peace to the
country. Yours respectfully,

SENATOR TRumBULL.

Judge Trunlbull was yesterday re-elcct-
ed Senator Of the United States from
Illinois for the term Of six years, The
details o< the proceeding will be found
elsewhere in Ibis paper. Our readers are
aware that the recent political conflict in
this State was intensified to degree lith-
erto unknown, by the Efforts Of the Repub-
Ecans to return their faithful and honored
statesman to the place which he las so
woEthily filed, and Of the Democrats to
oust him thercfrom. The result is
attained, and the country will re-
joicc with us in view Of the con-
summation. Judge Trumbull holds q
place in the esteem Of lis peers and the
confidence Of the Republican parry Of the
nation, second TO That Of no Senator whom
soever. In debate his logic commands the
admiration of the shrew1est minds; in
counsel his Judgment is deferred to by the
most sagacious; and in the social circle his
virtues proclaim him the upright citizen
and honest man. Illinois has done herself
distinguished honor in comforting fresh
honors On Lyman Trumbu}I.

A CRISIS IN EARNEST.
The President yesterday sent message
to Congress recommending additional leg
islation to enable him to suppress rebellion,
or otherwise to give peace to the country.
HI declares it to be his purpose to collect
the revenue and protect the public proper
II with the armed and naval forces Of the
United States.
It Is runored in Washington that the
Charleston rebels have fired upon the
steamer Star of.tho West, and thut Major
Anderson las commenced thru,cing shells
tnto the city. The rumor is not traced to
any reliable source, and isprobably untrue,
though the state OF facts presented is
BY no means impossible: 1t is not rln-
likely that the report has been started by
the rebels themselves to inflalnc the seeed-
ing Conventions Of other St1tcs to precipi-
tate action.
It is also ru1pored that Senators Toombs
and Wigfall ure to be arrested for partici-
patton in the conspiracy to seize tho Coy
eminent property. x.
The Hon. John 4. Dix Of New York,
the present Postmaster Of the city, has
been rendered seat in the Cabinet Alr.
Dix being 4 man Of property, and there
fore having something at stake in the revo-
luton, is quite likely to be Union man.

SPRINGFIELD. Ja'l. Q, 1s6l.
j. ELECTION OF T.. s. SENATOR.
That for which the Republicans Of Illinois
contended with zeal equal 10 that which ami
mated them in their fight for Lincoln, was
consumma4ed to-day. Lyman Trumbull, that
faithful, ever-rcndy, unninching statesman and
Legislator, whom we hope Illinois will con-
tinuc to honor, was reelected Senator Of the
United States for six years from the fourth Of
March next. It WAS bitter dose for the De-
mocracy. They fought agaiust It in the can-
xas and ut the polls with i desperation akin to
despair. They have, since the Legislature as
sembled, hunted for su:nc possible method Of
escape, threatening, meanwhile, desperate
things if it was forced upon them. But COM
pel1cd at last to take it, they came up like
men, and played their part is chccrfu1ly and Is
smilinsly as if they were not Indebted to him
for the seyerest blows that we're ever dealt 10
the proslarery party in the State.
The House, after agreeing to The Senate res
olution, adjourned to half past one, Longb
fore that hour the Hall began 10 ill up, and at
two o'clock, the time named for the joint ses-
sion, the Senators with difficulty forvcd their
way to their 6e1ts. The State officers the
Judges Of the Supreme Court, and n1any Of
the leading men Of the State, were assembled
on the floor to sec what would be done. Just
before proceedings began, Abraham Lincoln,
who six years ago in that place had given up
senatorial honors almost within his grasp that
Trumtul1 might be sure Of beating his pro-
slavery opponent, came In through tho way
which the people gladly opened for him, and
took seat beside Judge Cation, near the
Speakers desk 4 murmur Of applause ran
through the crowd as he appeared, but 1t was
at once suppressed by the Speakers gayil. aud
the balloting begun. The venerable and e2-
cclleut Cirrus Edwards Of Madison county
nominated Mr. Trumbull, and atr. Green of
Massac named as the Democratic candidate.
S. s. Marshall Of Hamilton. There was but
one trial. Every member was In his seat, and
Just 100 votes were cast For Trumbull, s.
for Marshall, &C. The announcement Of the
result was the signal for m outburst Of ar-
p1ause, which the Speaker checked as promptly
as at first, End the joint session broke up.
Both Houses then adjourned. 4 national aa'
lutte and general but quiet Republican jubi
1s&lon were the only evidences Of notable
event This being disposed O., the partisan
work Is nearly done, and now the real busl
ness Of the session will begin.

In crossing Missouri at an obscure station On

The a. fast tine ever found opt w baggonsts Wiz
With many Of our citizens, fed fat and slug
gish by these late times Of peace, it doubtless
causes much the same seasation - above des-
cribed, such blunt fact Is the actual transfer
Of Federal troops from the frontiers to the
very heart Of our nation; to meet and queu
possible disturbances. Here is no holiday
soldering. No pacific .sxMbltion of Light
heeled, gay-coated Zouarea,: but hurried
movement Of solid 1oqAslg force in hded;
ssy-blue, with actual guns, and practical
swords, perhaps set to a.keen edge on acrind-
stone; and horses and munitions of war.
Verify it opens new era n our history, new
thought, And 1t will perhaps warrant many
such admissions as the ho4ely and forclble one
Of Mr. sawin.
On Saturday last, Gen. Scott telegnphcd

TINT at o'clock on Monday morning they
were en- route for their destination. In this
age we cease to wonder Al the real ma1yels of
annihilation of space and:,time. Twenty-Five
years ago it wonld have hken weeks for the
order from Headquarters to reach the west
bank Of the Missouri, aud 1t would have been
months ere the weary troops rested in Bal

How 1t would have ,:sstoniehed military
commanders Of old; histcalling troop from
atar by lightning, sending the general order
16oo miles in a hours and then in four days
time the transmission Of he entire force, horse
and foot, to their destination. With such
marvellous transit should be compared the
march from this very Fort Leayenwo1th in
1858, when the gallant Sixth performed on foot
the longest military journey on record, to Cal
