Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1861-01-31


The c0nspirators and their allies are much
exercised BY the presence Of this precautions
ary force, but mainly because Il disconeerts
and defeats their well-undsrstood plans, and
stops The consumAtion of disunion, which
contemplated the seizure Of shis capital and
archives as part Of the. rebel programme.--
The Baltimore Sun this morning raised its
disunion mask sufficiently to abet this con-
spiraey without much indiscretion.
KANSAS SENATORS.
The two United States Senators from Kan
sas eannot be here much, Il any, before
March, The State Legislature has never yet
1een convened, as the Constitution forbade
il til alter the admission, aud there are seven

meeting till late in February. Mr.. Conway,
their Congressman, viii be sworn in when
Mr.. Buchanan signs the bill tomorrow. Mr..
ParFott, the delegate, viii then retire and re.

SENSIBLE REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr.. Davidson of Louisiana, does not in
tend to surrender hss seat in Congress. He
does not believe in, Secession as remedy for
Southern grievances. rlag
vRGIz1A. --..a
Mr. Hunter expresses the confident opinion
that Virginia win pass an ordinance Of Sc
/ cession and Join the Southern Coafederacy.
All his influence has been exerted in that di-
rection, with the view Of being made Presi-
dent. No man has been deeper in the plot,
from the beginning, or advocated it more
Jesuitieally, under the professed garb ofcon-
servatism.
THE HONE SQUADRON
II Mr.. Toucey has carried out the agree
ment made in Cabinet, the Macedonian,
Brooklyn, and Sabine must soon be collected
at Pensacola, though it Is quite probable the
traitors lave been fully informed Of every or
der issued, and that many of them have con-
/ formed 70 their instructions. Mr.. Mallory
has long controlled that Department for his
own uses, and very little confidence is enter
tanned concerning its management either in
or out Of the naval service. ~. f.tlf
TIE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
The President stn inclines to nominate
Judge Black for the late Judge Daniels va
cancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court,
but the declining Democratic strength in the
Senate and Southern opposition TO the ap-
pointment, do not afford much encouragement
tor bis confirmation. That place belongs
properly TO the next Administration, and
will be so treated, after the examples of.
Messrs. Crittenden and Badger, who were
suspended by Democratic majorities when
nominated for this Court by Mr. a dams and
Mr.. Fillmore until Gen. Jackson and Mr..
Pierce came into Office. Their own medi-
cine, judiciously administered, viii do them
good.

The Democrats have not relinquished pos
session Of any Of the Committees of the Sen
ate, es has been erroneously represented, and
they still retain clear majority OF six in
that Chamber. Mr.. Pearce is now Chairman
Of the Finance Committee, instead Of Mr..
Hunter.

mand from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, be
was supplied with provisions under contract
from Charleston. Since the recent under

TIE MISSION OF THE BROOKLYN
The sailing Of the Brooklyn continues the

'IN TINE OF PEACE" -rg -r
The resolution of Mr.. Craige, introduced
in the House, asking to know why troops
we're stationed here in time of pro- 1tfnd peace

TAXING TIE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
The resolution compelling all persons in !
the army and navy to renew the oath of ale
glance to the Constitution, created much ex-
citement, AMI provoked the most bitter op-
position from the South. It received the !
hearty endorsement of all the Republicans
and Southern Union men, while nearly all |
the Democrats opposed it. It is now sug-
gested that all the Senators, Representative, |
and members of the civil Departments of |
the Government be called upon to do the |
same thing.
