Special dispatches to the Cincinnati Ga
zette. dated Washington, 9th. says. all in
terest now centers in the peace convention.
as it is termed here. President Tyler, on
taking the chair, yesterday. made an elo-
quent address he said that our ancestors
hal made mistake in not having fxei
every fifth decade for call for a general
convention; to amend and reform the con-
stitution; on the contrary they had made
the difficulties next to insurmountahle to
accomplish amendments to an instrument
which was perfect for three millions of peO-
pie. but not wholly so for thirty millions
He thought their patriotism. would accom-
plish one triumph in sdvance-the triumph
over party. If that was done and the coun-
try resored from danger. one shout Of JOY
and gla.!ness would sound throughout th4
land. siach feeling was manifested by the
convention during the remarks. and at the
conclusion he members aocked around him
with words of congratulation and confidence

1t is defect in the Convention bill, tha,
1T does not provide expressly for referring
the action OF the Convention to the people
But the programme of its authors no douL,
was, to precipitate Arkansas out of the
Union, at time Of unprecedented excite
ment' without giving the people time for
sober and deliberate reflection, and thus
commit the State to the mad aud revolu-
tIonsry schemes of other seeding States.
But The Convention will have com plete con-
troll OF the whole subject matter, and |
hope will act in the premises "a though the
Legislature had made express provision for
. reference of its action to the people.
And now Gentlemen. having sufficiently
answered your in,errogatory, permit me to
express my ardent desire for the presefya-
tion Of our Federal Union, If it can be pre-
served consistently with the honor anil
rights of the slsve-holding States. We
ought not to be In haste to pull down and
destroy the nOblest Government the world
has ever known. We ought to give the
people of the Northern States. reasonable
time to repent of their follies, to retrace
their steps. to expel from power their reck-
less and fanatical leaders, and to yiel.i to
the South such guarantees of their righ:s
as their safety may require. We ought to
confer with. and abide by the fortunes OF
the border Slave States, and as last resort
we ought to hold National Convention.
in order that great and final effort may be
made to preserve the unity of our great
American Republic.
And now Gentlemen, in conclusion,
beg of you not to dispair Of the Republic,
for although dark and angry clouds are
above US, and all around US, let us hope
that bright light will ele long stream
through the thick darkness, bringing Joy
and gladness to the hearts of patriots every
where, and that our Federal Union, the
palladium Of our liberties, to which we are
indebted for our greatness, glory and hap
piness as a people. may endure for ages
and ages yet to come, blessing and blessed
of all our race.
