LINCOLN AGAINST ALL ConpRoursrs :

LINCOLN AGAINST ALL CoMpRoM1sEs.- The Newark Daily Mercury says:
 The following is an extract from letter received in Orange from an intimate perso- nal friend of Mir. Lincoln's, residing at Springfield, H.:
 Lincoln goes for no compromise with southern leaders of secession, not at all. I speak advisedly. Again and again he has said to me, "Compromise is not the reme- dy-not the cure. The South, i. c. the lea ders, don't want it--won't have it--no good can come of it. The system of con- promise has no end''
 :" Slavery is the evil out of which all our other national evils and dangers have come. 1t has deceived us, led us to the brink of ruin and it must be stopped
 " "H must be Kept mhere a noae is."
 Such are his views, and calmly he awaits the 47 days longer, when, if his life is spared, he will fearlessly tell the millions of the land, the line of policy he intends to pursue.
 He received letter from Gen. Wool, q few days ago, saying to him that he (Gen. Wool was commander of Ftile Eastern Division of the United States Army, and as the times were threatening he desired Mir. | Lincoln to say what forces he desired at the capitol on the 4th of March, and they should be on hand. Mr Lincoln said to me, "I never saw Gen. Wool but it was a most comforting letter, and l wrote to him Tn reply as you and Gen. Scott are as well and better acquainted with the nature and extent of the dangers, and the neces- sary means to meet them, I take pleasure in committing all that to your discretion and so thn motiar rnc+c

States can, at any time, determine whether their rights under that constitution have been violated, and judge as to the mode and manner of redress.
 5th. That sovereignty is inherent in the people, who are the source of all political power in the government, consequently the right of secession Is natural; that govern ments derive. their just powers from the consent of the governed; that wherever any form of government becomes destructive of the chartered rights of the people, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and or ganizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to secure their safety and happiness.
 9th. That secession is the only remedy to secure to us that justice and equality out of the confederacy which has long been denied to us in it.
 7th. That to the seeding States we ex- tend cordial God speed; and we rejoice to see that the spirit of our revolutionary slres IS not wholly extinct, but that 1t still brightly burns in the bosoms of the sons of the sunny South.
 Mir. Miller moved that as a basis of voting, each township be entitled to cast the same number of votes that it is entitled to justices of the peace under existing laws, which motion prevailed.
 Mr. Mathews moved that the citizens of Morris township present be permitted to take seats in the convention and cast the vote of said township, which motion was carried by vote of II to8.
 The chairman then announced that nomi- nations were in order MT. Thompson nominated pr. John A. Jordan. Mr. Walton nominated Ron. James l.. Tottofi.
 On the first ballot Dr. Jordan received eight votes, MT. Totton ten, and Dr. S. M. Allen three. Neither of the persons voted for having received majority of all the votes cast, the convention proceeded to a second ballot which resulted as follows Dr. Jordan, 8; MT. Totton, 13. James L. Totton having received majority of all the votes cast was declared duly nominated as candidate to represent Arkansas county in the convention to assemble at Little Rock on Monday the 4th day of March.
 On motion, it was resolved that copy of these proceedings be forwarded to the Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Napoleon papers with request to publish.
 On motion of Mir. Thompson, the thanks of the convention were rendered to the chairman and secretary for the faithful manner in which they discharged their duties.

Whcreupon Mr. A. Welch was called to the chair, and Mr. H. Oller was appolnted secretary. The chair explained the object of the meeting.

B.. fi"5d. n'he vorn,,aIoteo'a .otfro,i and in n short tfne returned and submitted the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions, which were continuously adoptel:
 WHEREAS, Several of onr sister southern States having either called conventions, or about alllng conventions of delegates fresh from the people to consider what is best to be done under the existing and alarming state otpubic affairs, therefore Resdped, lst. That the State of Arkan- sas feels no less interested in the prosperity of the South than her sister southern States, and sympathize with them in their efforts to place themselves in situation to puard and ward off the blow, which may well be anticipated from the antecedents of the executive elected as soon as he comes into power
 2nd. That 1t is the duty of all good citi- zens in the impending crisis to examine candidly the great issue now before us--to speak of it with moderation, and to act in reference to it in full view of all the mo- mentouS consequences; and we will use all honorable means likely to result in success to obtain q peaccabe adjustment of our present difficultis; but failing in this, our interests and feelings alike dictate to HIS our duty to unite and cooperate with our southern brethren 10 secure our riohts ont of the Union-the rights denied us in it. and to present to friend and foe, at home and abroad, united and invincible South.
 3rd. That while we admire the ability of our brethren of South Carolina, and are disposed to extenuate the motives which induce them to secede from the Union. we think they should defer to the judgment of their southern brethren, and act with tbo dellberatlon necessary to secure the hearty and undivided cooperation of those equally interested with themselves, in maintaininy the honor and rights due them as inteoral parts of this great confederacy.
 4th. That we condemn any attempt bv the general government to coerce seceding State.
 5th That we are aware that there arc thousands of Union loving and conservative men in the north and east who are ready to assist us in maintaing our constitutional rights.
 9th, That copy of these resolutions be ssst ts !Ot the True Democrat at Little Rock

me House of Representatives was last evening crowded with anxious listeners to the speech oi our venerated fellow -citizen Hon. John Bell. Throughout tbe eiI:vn' deI;,.n' " ot hls lengthy address, in some narts necessarily tedious, we were prati6aJ tp aoo 70 that the venerable ex Senator had tho oe0 tieht' attentive hearing of his immense an. ditory' embracing, as it did, many who do no not agree with him in political sentiment There was no disorder, no confusion. m interruption.

 At the late hour of writing this para graph, we have not an opportunity of TO- terrng at length to the remarks of tbo speaker, ana are not sure that we would if tune ana space permitted. It is hardly in our nature to say an unkind word of the opinions o1 one whom we have so Jong aamired' and for whom we but lately east our vote for the highest office in the eift of the American people, however much those opinions may at present differ from orr own we must, however, be permitted to say--and m we say 1t with no disposition to incur displeasure from any quarter-that as 1ehnesseeali, and as member of the late opposition party supporting Mr Bell for !dency, we felt bumilated and ashamed to sec that venerable, patriotic man stand up in the capitol of Tennessee, and make himself the apologst of such mis- erable fanatics as Seward and Lincoln. The record, however, is against them, and we do not, therefore, see how it is possible for MT. Bell, or any other man, to convince the people of the South that the incoming Pre- sident and his premier do not cherish dead ly hostility to the South and her institu- tions. A~

Messrs. JOHNSON AND BLAcK-Editors of True Democrot:-The secession senti- ment IS gaining gronnd very rapidly in our county. and it is believed that we will be able to elect Capt. John B. Torbett, who, at the urgent solicitations of many of his friends and fellow citizens, has declared himself a candidate for seat in the State convention, taking bold ground for imme- dlate secession and resistance, as the only alternative for Arkansas, and the sure path to peace and happiness. The valiant sons of Hot Spring are rallying around their bold and invincible standard bearer Of secession from the general government, and resistance to oppression and aggression oi the black republican and lanatical horde, who are soon to assume the reigns of the general government.
 Major Joseph Jester is the Union @ candidate. Col. Moses R. Woods is a quasi secessionist. All popular men.

 Resoloed, 1st That the election of a President and Vice President by purely sectional party, upon principles preiudiciaI to the peculiar institutions of the South, and inimical to the constitution of the United States is a just cause of alarm, in- dicating clearly that the abolitionists are determined to drive the southern States to resistance or force them into complete sub mission.
 2nd. That the irrepressible conflict is upon us, and that we accept it with all its attendant consequences, relying upon the justness of our cause and the God of battles.
 3rd. That allegiance is due first to our State, and her act of separation or secession from the confederation absolves us from legal connection with the federal govern. ment.
 4th. That the federal government is composed alone of powers>derived from the States, delegated to the federal agency through the constitution, and that the
