with slaves from any State or Territory 10 any
State or Territory where slavery exists This
right, however, does not include that OF transit
through any State or Territory which dIssents
therefr0m.
BY this section Congress is prohibited from
interfering with slavery-either to regulate,
abolish or control-in any State or Territory in
which it is legally recognized. This prohibi-
ton also applies in the case Of the District Of
Columbia, unless with the consent of Maryland
and the owners. The sale of slaves In the Dis
trict Of Columbia, or their introduction into it,
to be afterwards transferred to other places for
sale, is likewise prohibited.
The fourth section provides against the mis-
construction Of that part of the constitution
which refers to the delivery Of fugitive slaves
through due process OF law.
The fifth is an unconditional prohibition Of
the African slave trade.
The sixth provides that sections one, three
and five of this proposition, and the third para
graph Of the second section of the first article
of the constitution, and the third paragraph Of
the second section Of the fourth article thereof,
shall not be amended or abolished without the
consent Of all the States.
BY the seventh and last section provision is
gitive slaves are rescued by violence.
The foregoing form the basis - settlement
thus presented by the Peace ConSUGion, and
after its adoption, that body being seized with
a strong and laudable desire to finish their
work at once, had two copies engrossed be-
tween twelve o'clock, the hour of its passage,
and two o'clock, and sent one to the President
of the Senate and the other to the Speaker Of
the House OF Representatives. These copies
were Immediately submitted to both houses,
and the Senate appointed special committee
to report at one O'Clock to-day.
What is the next regular movement in this
question: 1t is for Congress to adopt this plan
Of adjustment by vote of two-thirds of both
houses, IN order to give it the required autho-
rity, SO that it can be presented to the
people in accordance with article five of the
constitution, which provides that whenever
two-thirds of both houses of Congress shall
propose amendments to the constitution, they
shall be valid when ratified by the Legislatures
or Conventions Of three-fourths of the States.
The country has now reached such crisis
that the conservatives Of the republican party
have evidently found it necessary to have this
question settled with as little delay possible,
in order to save the border States; and now it
will require decisive action on the part of Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Seward to get this measure
passed through Congress-. But viii they do it,
We shall see.

important from Washfngton-Ffnal Ac-
ton OF the Peace Congress.


The Peace Convention, which has been in
session since the fourth day Of February, has
at last adjourned, but not, however, before &C
complshing the initial object for which it was
called iogeiher. 1t has agreed upon the plan
OF settl. dent published in the HERALD of yes
terday morning, and which we repablish this
morning tat he people can understand the
question II is now presented to them.
The first article, which relates to the rights of
the people to the Territories, was adopted by q
close vote of nine to eight, four States, includ-
ing New York, not voting. All the other ar
eight The proposition in its present amended
condition, and as adopted by the Convention,
is compound Of the Guthrie and Crittenden
plans Of adjustment, and embracing many of
the best features of each.
The first section provides that slavery shall
be excluded from all territory north Of the pa
rallei Of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes Of
north latitude, while south OF that line no
change shall be made in the condition of
persons held TO service or labor. II also pro-
vides that there shall be no interference on the
part of Congress or the Territorial Legislature
with the right TO take slaves into such terri
tory. When territory north or south of the
prescribed line, aud within the boundaries
fixed by Congress, shall contain population
equal to that required for member Of Con-
gress, It shall be admitted into the Union, with
or without involuntary servitude, as its consti-
tuition may provide.
The second section is to the effect that no
territory shall be acquired, except by dis
covery, for naval and commercial purposes,
&C, without the concurrence Of majority Of
all the Senators from the slave States and
majority Of hose from the free States. In the
case Of all territory acquired by treaty ma
jority Of the Senator'S from each class Of States
- required as part of the two-thirds majority
necessary for ia Ratification.
The third section secures the right of transit

REPUBLICAN FNANCIERISG.--It ia estimated
BY the republicans that the new tariff will pro-
duce about FIVE millions additional revenue. OAe
calculation, and that IL the cost of the frontier
customs service. AS many Of the duties i'm.
posed by the schedule amount to a positive
prohibition. there will be such a'premium for
smuggling that II will require an immense re-
venue force to protect the boundary line.
Most Of the heavily taxed foreign articles re-
CURED for Northern consumption will be re-
ceived through the South; tor any blockade
that may be attempted Of it, ports will be i'm
media,ely broken through by England and
France. Thus, as we have learned by expe-
rience on the Canada frontier, the cost of col
lecting the duties under the new tariff along
the boundary OF the seeding States will be SO
great that the incoming administration will de-
rive but little, fany, aid from it.

classes, with the exception of the millowners

New TARIFFS, SoUTH AND NoRrH.-The new
protective Tariff bin passed by the Congress at
Washington may be good thing for the facto-
ries and foundries of Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania, but it is not likely, by any means, to
be accepted as peace offering by the Southern
States. On the other hand, after the lapse of .
few months, between this new Northern tariff
and the new tariff of the Southern confederacy
upon lower scale Of duties, the seeded States
may expect something from England and
France in the way of direct trade. New York,
perhaps, would do well to prepare for some
thing of the kind.
