PRICE TWO CENTS,

! Crittenden proposition adopted bv trick, MI
Fleid OF New York being absent in the Suprem
Court, ana an agreement made with him 10 regar
| to the vote OF the New York delegation being viz
| lated. Had this agreement been kept in 200
| faith the proposition would have been rejected.
From the Ne,o Fork Times
We do not anticipate the adoption of this MIA
| nor do we think it desirable 1t is open to yer
grave and serious ObjectiOns,-and although tn
assent of Congress to it would undoubtedly sccur
the continued loyalty of the Border States,
would be at greater expense to the country tha
is required. Still the Peace Conference has bee
of essential service to the country,-in gainin
time for reflection in discussing the general topic
of sectional difference, and in preparing the wa
for the peaceful opening of the new Admnstra
ton.
[Frcmr the Ne1o York TForld.I -
III, as we most earnestly trust, the recommends
tions OF the Peace Conference should be adopted
by Congress, Mr.. Lincoln's administration vii
open under more favorable auspices than his friend
had dared to hope. The thunder clouds, bearing
night and tempest, which lowered so threateningly
over the country, are breaking, and we trust thu
sun may roll up gloroasly into the heavens on tht
morning of the Inauguration.
From the Nero York Courier and Enquirer
w nile the Republican party has refused to yield
all that it has recently won, it has never shown
that 1t was simply obstinate. If it has been firm
1t has yet exhibited desire to do what was right
The speeches fits prominent men, and the course
OF Its prominent journals, have been the same
These have ever advocated doing all that could
consistently be done towards preserving the love
for the Union. If the Republicans perceive that
there is no hope of bringing the Secessionists to
reason; if they know that nothing they could right
y do would satisfy these, they nevertheless believe
that something should be Welded to the peopIe OF
the Border States, and to the Unionists in the Sc
cedlng ones, and they therefore are willing to ac-
cept propositions that do not involve sacrifice oil
principle.
From He Richmond Enquirer
adjourned SINE die. This is indeed subject of con.
graduation and will be so received by the people
OF Virginia. Conceived for the purposes of DELAY
1t has accomplished the object of its authors, and
has adjourned fruitless of GOOD to any section Its
stilEborn offspring, the "Franklin Substitute )"
adopted by vote Of nine to eight, in Congress
OF twenty-one States, cannot receive the counte-
nance OF any not already at heart Black Rspubi-
can But the concern has adjourned and there is
no need OF further delay on the part of the Virgil
MA Convention. Gentlemen can, and should now
show their hands and let the State understand
what she may expect from those chosen to protect
her honor and guard her interest. We have not
the space tor comments, nor is the "Franklin Sub
shtute' worthy of more than the request for its
decent burial-and without further remark we
submit what wilkins Micawber would call call
that remains of ruined tower" to the considera-
ton of the Virginia State Convention, and to the
contempt of the people.

THE Hon. HERNRY WINTER DAVIS AND THE RE-
PARTY.-Henry Winter Davis is not un-
friendly to the Republicans-no man will charge
t. Yet in speech in the House of Representatives
January 9th, 1857, [3d sess. 34th Congress App to
Ion9re8ionGt Globe, P. l25, he spoke of the then
'ecent attempt to elect Mr.. Fremont by sectional
oarty as ga raid against Southern institutions"
de said "the policy of the Republican party while
t did not justify, did tend to kindle civil war;"
lie said it was an 'attempt to grasp the reins of
power on principles which tend to exclude every
southern gentleman from office, and necessitate
lecision by the country Of the great question whe-
her one-half of the people of the Union will be
governed by the other half-fOr that was the only
practical result of the success of the Republican
'arty-" He said that "heir position was unsocial,
md their success dangerous. lie said that the ar
,ument "at the South was, that it was question
If independence, and not of administration; that it
vas question not whether the majority should
ule, according to the great constitutional princi
lie, but whether a majority obtained under the
Orms OF the Constitution, in such manner as
excluded all Southern gentlemen from
participation in the conduct Of affairs ought to
e submitted to?"
He said that "the condition on which alone any |
arty can tity and safely be intrusted with the |
nough everywhere to carry the Government |
With the men Of the State to be governed-so that
domestic Government shall not assume the form
f foreign domination" lie said the Republi-
an party was without these friends and suppOr-
ers in the Southern States, and he pronounced
his ga radical and incurabe defect"
Can anything be stronger than the above-or
lore just? Let the reader scan it again, and say
that is wrong in its Positions Virginia Sentinel
GoING TO THE INAUGUkATIoN.-There will un-
oubtedly be large attendance of New Workers
t the Inauguration. The Republicans are pre-
airing to go by thousands, though not in any Or |
anized bodies-Mr Lincoln having expressed
imself decidedly averse to the mastering or para
ing of any Republican clubs at the Capital AS |
he Republicans all on their good behavior till
hey get office, of course his wish will be respected.

ity, or pass throughit, on their way to Washing |
On, the rival roads to the Capital are offering |
educed rates of fare; and several steamboats, are !
p for trip, provided sufficient number of pas. |
