RS- 1t is stated here, and seems to be gen.
orally believed, that Senator Green has tele.
graphed to the Governor of Missouri to seize
the custom. house at St. Louis, in order to ere
sent" as it is said, the occupation Of that build
ing by United States troops. The theory Of
certain gentlemen seems to be, to seize every.
thing not efficiently guarded, and to treat all
measures of precaution as outrages." 1t is a
beautiful theory, and may be found expounded
at large, in the late and last speech of JEFF
Davis.

THE VICE PRESIDENTS LETTER.


The Vice President, in his letter to the Gov
ernor of Kentucky, adopts Mr.. Crittendens
propositions, as all disunionists do, and declares
that he cannot suppose that Kentucky ,could
consider her rights, interests, and honor, safe
under any settlement less thorough" Mr.. Breck.
inridge is too good a politician not to see the
advantage Of fighting his battle behind the cover
Of Mr.. Crittenden.
The Vice President demands the Crittenden
platform in its entirety, and insists that it shall
not be " emasculated by excluding from its scope
afier. acquired territory" He is for the Afri
canization of Mexico, full and explicit, as laid
down in the Crittenden programme, and for the
reason that " the Southern States cannot afford
to be shut off from expansion torards the
tropics"
Having thus fixed his rigid standard Of de.
mands, he proceeds frankly to admit, what every
body knows to be true, that it will not be acqui-
esced in. "IteH you,' he says, "hat the Re
publicans in Congress, and fear in the coun-
try, nerer ,ciU adopt it,"
AS necessary consequence from these posi-.
tlOuS, He auNioeo lAehtuShy W
against the National Government, if it attempts
to enforce the laws against citizens Of seeding
States. Such menace, he hopes, will induce
the Government to forego such an attempt, and
so conduce to a peaceful overthrow of the
Union.
The Vice President stands, in short, upon the
doctrine of his Lexington speech, made year
ago. that the South must leave the Union if
they cannot obtain slave code, backed by ma
tional power, for the Territories, or for so much
of them, at any rate, as can possibly be used
for slaveholding purposes. 1t was this Lexing-
ton speech, in connection with the private know-
edge which the nullifers had of his opinions and
tendencies, which secured him their nomination
for the Presidency. The national committee Of
the Douglas wing Of the Democracy did not fail
during the canvass, to call the attention of the
country to this Lexington speech, but it did not
produce in the public mind any settled judg.
ment against the patriotism of Mr.. Breckin.
ridge. His contingent threat of overthrowing
the Government, become aln ost habit with
Southern politicians, did not outweigh the pre-
sumptons in his favor, arising from his locality
his training under Mr.. Clay, and the nationality
of his family associations. But it turns out that
the nuUifers kneW their man.

AI The Washington correspondent of the
N. y Tribune says:
"An extra allowance of 100000 for the ben.
eft of Mr.. Wendell, as owner of half interest
in the contract of Messrs. Gales 4 Seaton, for
printing the State Papers, was arrested at the
Treasury by the First Comptroller, yesterday,
after it had passed through the hands of the
retiring Secretary, Thomas. A large and in
100000 have already been paid on this con-
tract at the Treasury, of which exactly one.
half is clear profit. Mr.. Wendell has had more
than the lions share Of Republican liberalty
already, and it is about time this system was
stopped"

give the whole history of this American State
Paper job?

Virginia.

Richmond, Jan. l4.-The report of the com.
mittee on the preservation of the public peace
was taken up. Mr.. Douglas offered an amend
ment to the effect that the State shall declare
herself out of the Union unless Congress and
the non.slaveholdng States shall give speedy
guaranty Of measures for more effectually
guarding the rights Of the South. 1t was tabled
and ordered to be printed.
The House agreed to the Senates amend.
ments oe the Convention bill. A bill to create
an ordnance department was reported and
referred A resolution was offered, that a
further strengthening of the forts in Virginia
and removal of the arms and munitions from
the arsenals wi hin her limits by the Govern
ment will be looked upon as menace of war,
and we pledge her faith to restore the forts, &C.,
intact, if they are intrusted TO her keeping, in
the event of peaceful restoration of affairs,
and in the event of dissolution to account
for them in equitable divisions of the public
property. This was referred to the Committee
on Federal Relations.
Resolutions were reported, and ordered to be
printed, looking to holding National Conven-
ton at Washington on the 4th of February, to
consider some plan of adjustment.

Charleston, Jan. l4.-It is believed by many

1@- Senator Pearce could not do less, in
compliment to his Democratic party associates
in Maryland, than to seem to concur with them
in advising Governor Hicks to convene the
Legislature. But, like a sensible man, he de.
ferred giving this advice ill the 9th of January,
after the Governor had finally decided not to
convene the Legislature, and, indeed after the
proposition that he should convene it, was
withdrawn in favor Of an altogether different
proposition, viz: that he should take popular
vote upon the question of State Convention.
But, to make assurance douby sure, that his
letter Of January 9 should do no harm, Senator
Pearce winds it up, by declaring secession to
be revolutionary, and certain, especially if pre-
cipitated, to bring down upon Maryland a
/" storm Of cica par." Under all his sur
roundings and embarrassments, Mr.. Pearce has
acquitted himself well.

somehow or other became involved in row
on Sunday night with some white boys on Crow
Hill, in which stones and brick.bats were free
ly used. The darkies, getting the worst of the
battle took to their heels, and left, as fast as the
condition in which they were would permit.
Where were the police? At the other end of
their beat, we suppose.

bS- The central secession organ, the Wash.
ington Constitution, denounces Gov. Stewards
speech as proposing nothing satisfactory. The
same conclusion was reached by caucus upon
it of secession Senators.
The Star, which is for the Union, accept it
as basis of accord, and so (apparently) does
the National Intelligcncer.
The New York Herald, on Sunday morning,
declared that the speech proposed nothing and
closed out all hope Of compromise, but yester-
day, it pronounced the speech "hopefal and
concilidtory."

Items Telegraphed from Washington.

Mr.. Floyd neglected to tell the disunionists
at the Richmond banquet what became Of the
other million Of acceptances which he issued
for his friend Mr.. Russell. The developments
before the committee put him in the worst pos.
sible light. 1t can be established, that while
Governor, his discreditable operations with the
State bonds were conducted through some of
the same parties who have been notoriously his
instruments in the rotten and venal transactions
here, by which the Treasury has been openly
robbed of several millions, that were divided
among an organised gang Of plunderers.
