In the meanwhile the entire time and at
teHtion Of the Cabinet is absorbed in endea-
vcring to reconcile the thousaud and one
conflicting claims for Office, from the Foreign
minister down to coal-heaver. 1t is not as
tonishing, therefore, that astute Republicans
prophesy that volcano is about to burst
beneath the Administration. Once impelled
by some such pressure, it may be led to
change its peace policy, in order 10 consoli-
date the manifold interests of the party. The
Southern Commissioners, however, have the
positive assurance from The Administration
that no movement of troops or reinforce
ments of forts in the Confederate States will
be permitted. The present status is to re-
main. The Commissioners do not believe tina:
the Government tf the United States will
violate that pledge. However, they keep
their government at Montgomery fully advi-
sed. and the commanders of the several
forts in the Confederate States are on the
alert, day and night, watching for the YES
sells that recently departed from the Northern
ports.
Commissioner Forsyth has left for New
York. where he will remain week or ten
days Himself and colleagues are firm in the
opinion that the public peace will not be
broken. They have assurances from Mont
gomery that there will be no collision while
tney remain in Washington. Their policy
is one of mastery inactivity since the assn
rance OF the Administration. / know that
powerful influ ,nces have been brought to
bear on the President within the past few
days in favor of a pacific solution of the
question.
1t is believed in the best informed political
circles that. if an extra session of Congress
can be avoided. President Lincoln will urge
upon his friends the prOpriety of calling a

The INDECENT HASTE OF THE ALABAMA
CoxyESTIox.-We learn by biographical the
Alabama Convention, almost before the INK
was dry on the parchment on which the Per
manent Constitution was written, made haste
to ratify it as the solemn act OF the people
of Alabama. What mockeryi Everybody
knows that the general plan of new gov
eminent did not enter into the deliberations
of the people of that State when they elect
ed their delegates to the State Convention.
much less the details of Constitution We
have no fear that the Convention OF Aissis-
sippi will take .'suap Judgment upon her
people in that fasbiOn,-JGets0H NississiEpiaH
The Hississipyian is the ablest, most per
.istent, and consistent of the secession news
papers in Mississippi. Coming from it, the
above comment on the ''indecent haste" OF
the Alabama Convention TO raiify the Per
manent Constitution of the Confederate
States ought to have weight. There was no
necessity for immediate ratification by a
body chosen for other purposes entirely
4 Provisional Government, organized Tor
twelve months, was in existence, and the "a
LITIGATION months hence would have been ear
" enough. 4 new Convention, composed OF
delegates elected with a view to considering
the ratification should have been provided
for, and the people given an opportunity to
determine whether they approved the Per
manent Constitution made for them. The
seeessionists dsclare that all governments
should rest upon the ''eOnsent Of the gOUerHed;'
but in Alabama they have falsiied their own
declarations, hurried the people into revolu-
ton, and improvised for them government
without consulting their wishes in the least.

CHARLESTON, jan %. 1861.
Biistrust of the People.

Previous TO the ratification of the Perma-
nent Constitution of the Confederate States
by the State Convention of Alabama, the
following resolutions were tabled in that
body by vote of 81 to 80:
Resolved, 1. That the political power in all
free Governments is inherent in the people,
and that an attempt to infringe this great
principle is dangerous in policy aud directly
subversive of civil liberty.
2. That the right of every people to frame
the system of Government under which they
are to live is fundamental doctrine in all
free Governments, and should not be ques-
toned or impaired.
s. That the acknowledgment Of these es-
tablished principles. the spirit and genius of
American institutions, and the well-ascer-
tanned precedents of republican usage, i'm
peratively demand that the Constitution of
the Confederate States o fAmerican shall be
submitted to the people of this State Tor their
ratification or rejection.
The Conventions of Georgia and Louisiana
have followed the example thus set by Ala
bsma, and ratified the Constitution without
reference to the people. The indications arc,
however, that the people of Mississippi will
have an opportunity to ratify it for them
selves.

bad example of the Alabama managers (none
OF whom 1t il due to them to say, were mem
ters OF the State Convention that appointed
tbcnl) should adopt the Constitution framed
at Montgomery. without submitting 1t to the
peopIe for their ratification or assent, the
singular spectacle will be presented of men
sitting in Judgment upou their own acts In
other words, enacting the ridiculous farce OF
adopting their own bantlings. Whatever may

yentiOn on ibis subject. we defferentlally suo.

we therefore consider secession as false

give our support to the State of Alabama In
her present stand upon the side OF secession,
but will do what We can to the contrary.
4. That the spurious doctrine SO often ad'

WASHINGTON, March 81.

WASHINGTON, March Il.
The feeling is getting to be very strong
among the conservative Republicans in favor
of recognizing the independence of the sece-
ded States. They must either do this or have
war. But the Republicans are commencing
to battle among themselves. The commercial
portion of them are growing desperate by the
perpIexity of the new tariff, and insist upon
the immediate and unconditional restoration
of the old, or a lower one, through the medi-
nm of an extra session of Congress. The
rural portion unequivocally insist npon the
instantaneous reinforcement OF Fort Pick
ems at all hazards, and urge that the party is
being politically slaughtered by the ecptinu-
alton Of temporising policy. 8. y

The \. Y. TRIBUNE IMPALED.-The CincIa-
natl Gazsite- recently charged that the n Y.
tribune published letters dated at Charles ton
S. c., giving accounts of matters there, bHt
that the letters were written in New York.
The Gazefe alleged that one OF these letters
stated that JEFF. DAVIS had been on visit
TO Charleston. The Tribune responded 10
this impeachment as follows:
In reply to this daring, and, on the whole
rather splendid assault upon Us, il Is per-
hans enough to say that no account lGhatsUer,
either detailed or general, long or short. sup
positions or po-iiive. of any arrival OF Mr..
Jeff. Davis al Charleston, has eUer APPEARED IN
o1sr eol.gzRs Two OF our correspondents
there announced that his arrival was expect
ed: but on the appointed day both of them
duly and explicitly reported that he had not
arrived, but that another person had come IN
hi place
This UNQUALIFIED denial constrained ''The
WorId- TO investigate the matter, and to give
the following as the result OF its researches:
In the Tribune of Monday, Jan. %, page 6,
f. printed a letter puTpOFtiHg to be from
its own correspondent" and dated at
Charleston, which gives the following &C
count OF Jefferson Davis arrival ut Charles
ton, what be went for, who called on him
when be got there, what he said, and what
they said:
From he " Y. Tribune, Jan Isl
From our own Correspondent
CHARLESTON. jan %, 1861.
Henceforth Southern COnfederacy is TO
be the ruling idea The action OF South
Carolina, so far as it can BE- controlled, will
be shaped accordingly. Jefferson Davis, who
arrived here this morning, came to enforce
this idea and modified policy He was i'm
mediately called on by Gov Pickens. several
of his counselors, and a number of the more
distinguished actors in the drama of rebel
lion. He urged the importance of cultiya-
ting good understanding with Maj. ADder-
son, and insisted that there ought to be no
collision by an attack on Fort Sumter, etc,
ETC., etc.
This looks very much like making
"case" of the Tribune.
