e%- Maine has done well. She has given
sixty thousand majority against the "peaee par
ty," notwithstanding all the arts practieed by
designing men to dclude some other yeomanry
In no Stale have the Northern Secessionists
been more busy and adroit than in Maine. BY
stealthiness they have succeeded In packing con-
ventions, and they fondly hoped to carry the
larger part of the Democratic party with them.
But they have most sgnally failed, and the
traitorous peace party may be considered as
fairly "squelshed out" for the present in Maine.
The result will be the same in our State,
and in every Northern State where the expert
ment may be tried. For the last fortnight the
white feather party has been rapidly in the de-
cline. The nation is every day arousing more
and more fully TO the fact that this is no time
for trifing. When the highwayman has his
pistol pointed at your head and is demanding
your mony, it is not exactly the moment to be
talking soft words of peace to him if you have
a club, or a knife, or any other weapon with
which you can dispatch him: When the na
tional life is threatened none but towards, fools
and traitors will be striving to weaken the hand
that is appraised for its defence.

sY- The White flag party, in Ohio, are fond
of calling Mr.. LINCOLN, a Sectional President. "
If he did not get IN Electoral vote in the Slave
States, whose fault was it Not his, surely, for
he was anxious to TO get all the votes he could,
North, South, East and West. There were
thousands of men in the South who would have
voted for him, but they dared not. 1t would in
most parts of the South cost them their lives
Mr.. LINCOLN, if therefore, q Sectional President
he is SO by the action ofthe South. The leaders
in the South refusing to let the Southern peo-
pie vote for him was only one act in the pro-
grammc looking towards dissolution. The
breaking up of the Democratic National Con-
ventions at Charleston and Baltimore, was an
other. A man that reasons otherwise is either
very dishonest or he is very ignorant.

j IsorsE. The House resumed the consid.
erotion OF tho Volunteer bill reported from
the military COMMITTEES.
i Mr.. Bocock said ha considered tho passage
/ OF this bill foregone conclusion. lie OPP
posed IL on account of tbs features which
appear on its face be opposed it in conse-
quencc Of the fffsot it's passage will produce
ON the peace and prosperity Of the Country
be opposed il above all, and worse than all,
/ in consequence Of the policy ii indicates, il
il does not in tho strongest degree initiate IL.
He yesterday characterised the bill as dec-
Iaration Of war, and having since carefully
read it, he reiterated theremnrk.
| He continued At some length, saying the
Union was already divided, and thought the
Border States should join the Gulf States
| to preserve peace. Whatever hope may have
been cherished OF a peaceful solution il will
be diminished By the passage OF this bill.
f-- The fepvrt OF tbe committee OF SO was tas-
ken up.
Mr.. Vallandigbam favored Cancellation
and compromise, AMI advocated the adoption
Of his proposition dividing the Union into
four sections.
The Senate's amen imerts to the Navy bill
were then taken up.
Mr.. Garnett offered proviso that the new
sloops of-war shall not be used to execute the
Federal laws in any seeding States.
There was long debate, in which Mr.. Stan
ton took it for granted that the next Admin
istration would not recognize the eenstita-
tional rights Of secession, and it will be
treated as revolution.
Mr.. Garnett spoke several times, stating
that Lincoln, both 10 his speeches and pri-
vnte conversation, had foreshadowed coer-
Dion policy and intends to make war on the
South.
Anderson asked Gsrnett il be was for the
Union.
Garnett-I am for the immediate secession
Of Virginia. [tlisses and applause.]
Motions we're made to clear the galleries.
The Chair checked the dem onstration.

Jnf. Davis threatens the United State
with Southern powder and Southern stee
The slave drivers have been 60 nccustome
to 500 doughfaces crouch and tremble befor
willingness to get "down on their knees" Il
the South, that they take ii for granted
threat OF Southern powder and Southern
steel will frighten the entire North into sub
mission. The sccessionists will be greatly
aatoniahed il Jeff. don't bring - untec
States down on their knoes in view Of the
terrors Of Southern powder and Southern
steel.
OF course they know that the people OF
the United States are not particularly afraid
of powder and stee! per se. They remember
that our people were not alarmed by British
powder end British steel at Bunker Hill, tt.
conderoga, Trenton, and other battle fields
OF the Revolution, nor In the engagements
on land and sea with the British during the
war OF 1872. II is fresh in the memory Of
the Southern fllibusters, too, that Mexican
powder and Mexican steel had no terrors for
the soldiers who marched under Taylor and
SCOTT and took possession Of all the strong-
holds Of the enemy. British powder, Alge-
rine steel, French powder and Spanish steel,
Mexican powder md Indian steel, JEFF and
his confederates acknowledge have been
braved with manly courage By the people OF
the North. But be assumes that their cour-
age will fail at that peculiar quality Of pow.
der and steel which he desienates as South
ern powder and Southern steel.
OF eeaFse Jef I,'s language 10 firrrasivr, for
there 10 no such thing as Southern powder
and Southern steel absolutely. The articles
are not Indigenous 20 tFat section OF country:
neither are they manufactured there. The
Southern powder and Southern steel to which
aluson is made arc powder and steel manu-
featured in the North, stolen BY Southern
traitors from the forts and arsenals OF the
united States and seH Welded by Southern
fllibusters who take possession Of undefend-
ed forts, hospitals and mints, and capors
around at u respectful distance from Fort
Sumter and Fort Picaens.
JET. Davis and his crew will find that
Southern powder and Southern steel, in the
hands OF robbers, traitors and braggsrts,
have M terrors for "IIonest Old Abe'' and
the millions Of brave men who will rally at
bis call.

knew they thought as he did, and would act
as be would act. Iowa AS State is not
known in the transaction.
Let " hear no more about Iowa being
represented in tho Peace Congress. The as
sumption is one hinge lie upon it's very face,
and too mpnstrously absurd to deceive any
man who possesses single grain Of common
sense Journal.
The above is very mild expression Of the
chasrin OF the Democracy of Iowa in view OF
the course Of Gov. Krkwooi. II will be re-
collected that Gov. kirkwood had not time
to call the Legislature of the State to meet
in extra session for the appointment of Com
miusloners, neither would it have been prop.
er for him TO have put the State to useless
expense even If there had beea ample time.
In order then to manifest q respectful defer
ence to the suggestion OF the Virginia Legis-
lature, Governor kirkwood appointed Com
missioners TO this unauthorized Convention
without consulting the Legislature. In ma
king his selections be chose persons whom
the people Of The State have frequently hon.
orei with their confidence. and whose prin-'
ciples and course were endorsed BY major.
ity OF some fifteen thousand OF the people OF
Iowa at the recent election.
But, Gays the Journal, our Senators and
Representatives in Congress do not express
the sentiments Of the people Of tho State
Why no.s The Journal does not say, but
it is urged By others that the people Of Iowa
are nop in favor Of nationalizing, extending
and perpetnating slavery on the Crittenden
slave code plan. This assertion is baseless
assumption, utterly unsupported by facts.
The people Of the State only three mouths
since. gave an authoritative exposition oil
theirsentiments At the polls, not only agains,

There is no evidence that the people Law,

lican or OF Republican newspaper 10 Iowa

Ltncoln,s speeches In Charleston.
All the Charleston papers Of Friday and
Saturday copy Lincon's speeches and com
ment on them. The Mercury says:
In Lncoln's opinion, the United States,
holding those forts which have not yet been
captured, and retaking those which have
been captured by the Confederate States, and
the collection of duties in their hsrbors,
would be neither coercion nor invasion, but
gentle exercise Of legitimate power towards
many rebellious counties, bringing them to
their senses. Lincoln is cool man; an able
man; q determined man man not OF words
but action; who says what be means and
means what he says; IN earnest man withal
and no politician.
