Senator Crittenden on the Prospect.

SENATE, Jan. %, 1s6l.-My Dear Coombs:
feel under many obligations to you for your many
letters, and beg that you will continue the CORE
spondence notwithstanding my omissions. What
with business, consultations, and unavoidable COM
pany, have in truth hardly time to write line to
the best friends or even to draw free breath
Your letters have freshness about them that makes
me feel and see the things you tell me. All things
here are in chaos and darkness, yet / have every
confidence that though my resolutions may not pass
they will be the root out of which settlement will
grow.
The news from Frankfort is that you will not call
a Convention. l am glad Of it. There is no cause
why we should hasten out of the Union at this time,
and, unless that is intended, do not know what we
want with Convention Preparations made often
induce us to do things from which more considers
ton would have restrained US. Old Kentucky has
too much dignity and history to be,drited about by
every changing tide in politics. Her movements in
the present crisis ought to be well measured well con-
sidered, and marked with steadfast maniness. We
ought to see clearly what to gain by disunion
before we abandon Union in which we have en-
joyed 80 much liberty, SO much prosperity, and so
many blessings. write in haste, and must conclude
Your friend, j. j. CRITTENDEN.

the hour, but he will he heard from at length during
the campaign.
We refer our readers especially those Of them III

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE WHAT CONCERNS
THEMSELVES.
Shortly after leaving Augusta, Ga, last Christmas
day. fell into conversation with an intelligent farm
of South Carolina, who was returning home with
his slaves from their work near Savannah Of
the troubles and movements of the day furn-
ished the main topics for remark. Considering the
circumstances of time and place, l was very much
struck by the earnestness with which my compan-
ion uttered the following sentiments:
"Sr, these discussions between the North and
the South, about slavery and trade and all that
Germ the people of our States. They and they only
ought to settle them and if the politicians will let
alone we will settle them, no doubt wisely, any
how satisfactorily to ourselves and if the people
satisfied no one has right to grumble But when
they begin to consider these questions, the politi
clans raise such fuss that we can not hear any
thing Alright and they kick up such dust that we
can not see Alright One tells us to come his way,
and another tells US to 60 his way, and another hal
oos at US to believe what he says and another cries
out the truth is all on his side So the people are
blinded and deafened and confused, and they do not
know what to say or do Now if these politicians
would let the people have time to get the noise out
of their and the dust out of their eyes, SO that
the people can quietly think of what is before them,
the people will get US out Of the troubles which reck
less politicians have got us into"
Now, Mr.. Editor, how many other intelligent
farmers in South Carolina would have been glad Of
chance to consider and decide about the doings
of their late Convention without being hectored for
their decision The people of North Carolina owe
you and your colaborers debt of gratitude in that
they have chance to review the acts of their repre-
sentatives in our Convention, and that with some
time wherein the dust be wiped out of their eyes
and the din be hushed in their ears.

Imminent Danger of an Attack Fort Sumter!
RICHMOND, Feb S.-We learn from gentleman
just from Charleston that the cotton battery has
reached height of eighteen feet above the walls Of
Fort Sumter 1t is intended to be floated right up
to the fort and fire will be opened from it upon the
federal troops. One thousand men are now quar-
tired in Fort Moultre and there only 60 in Fort
Sumter Besides these there are upwards Of 1000
soldiers in Charleston.
1t is expected that For. Sumter will be attacked
the first of next week. The firing upon it will
be simultaneously from six different places. The
men were only waiting to get permission for an at
tack from Governor Pickens, whose course in with
holding his consent so long was making him very
unpopular with the Charlestonians. They expect
to take Sumter without much loss Of life.

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The day appears to be
dawning when the rights of the South are about to
be indicated by her decision and firmness The
vital interests Of the North have been touched and
her moneyed men evince remarkably earnest dis
position to give any guarantees required for the per-
manency of the Union.
A Virginan of high reputation remarked tonight
that Mr.. Astor, of New York, told him he would
give million of dollars if necessary to that end
The most astute Republican members begin to see
that unless they satisfy the demands Of the CAPT.
talsts, the government will be without resources.
Mr.. Kellogg's speech to-day fell like a bombshell
in the House, causing CONSERVATION nj the Repub-
lican ranks.
The Peace Conference is still earnestly engaged in
the consideration Of plan Of adjustment, and the
delegates hourly grow more hopeful. A patriotic
spirit prevails Notwithstanding all this, no one
has been yet able to define the magic plan which is
to restore peace But where there's will there's
way" and it is very evident that the will is
not wanting now among the leading politicians and
moned men Of the North. Let Virginia remain
firm, and stake no steps backward" till this new
inspiration assumes definite and satisfactory form.

Party Spirit.

that the excuses Of party spirit in the North and
South have been mainly the cause Of the evils that
now aflict the country. Party spirit springing
from regard for principles and properly regulated
is beneficial to the country; bat, like every other
good thing, it is liable to be abused by excessive in
diligence In this respect we have all sinned.
The immortal WASHINGTON in his farewell ad-
dress soiemnly warned his countrymen against the
baneful influences Of party spirit but chiefly against
the excuses of that spirit Gen. Jackson, Mr.. Cal
houn, Mr.. Clay, and Mr.. Webster did the same
thing in their day. In 1850 Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Doug
las, Mr. Badger, Mr.. Dickinson, and Mr.. Webster
stood side by side without regard to party, in their
efforts settle the slavery question and save the
Union. The present crisis is much more important
and solemn than that was. Mr.. Badger again stands
side by side with Democrats in final effort to save
the Union; and, failing in that, he is determined
with every other true man in the State, to maintain
the honor and protect the interests of North-Caro-
lima. We believe the Union can and wiU be saved,
but not by party. ~
Let us, then, when the country is in danger, cast
party to the Winds Let us rise above party and
save the Union. Let us bury all past leuds and
of restoring peace to the country. We are threat
ened with divisions among ourselves, and with civil
war; Shall We go into war Of any kind as parti-
ems? God forbid! Let our rallying cry be, our
country first, country last, our country all the
time
