The efforts Of the sccessionists TO force the
Border and conservative slave States out OF the
Union before the 4th of March, is destined to
prove a failure Delaware and Maryland
have as yet taken no action toward consider
ing the subject of secession-in Virginia the
friends of the Union have triamphed-in
Tennessee, if a secession ordinance is passed,
which is not probable, the action of the. con-
vention is to be referred back to the people
for ratification or rejection-the same action
has been taken in North Carolina, Arkansas
and Missouri-and the Legislature of Ken
lucky has, by decisive vote in both houses
passed the following resolution, which efecsu-
ally kills off for the present at least the pro-
iect Of holding a convention in that State
Rrsoiued, That as this General Assembly
has made an application to Congress TO call a
National Convention 10 amend the Constitu-
tion of the United States, and requested the
Legislatures of all the other States to make
similar applications, and has appointed Com
missioners to meet those which have been ap-
pointed by the State of Virginia, and such as
may be appointed by other States, at desiga-
ed time and place, TO consider, aud if practi-
cable, agree upon some suitable adjustment Of
the present unhappy controversies, ii as tenns-
csssary and tserpedIsst for this Leg'si azure TO
take Gay f,i,taer action on this SUBJECT at the
present tjme As al evidence Of the sincerity
and good faith of our propositions for an ad-
jus,nent. and an expression Of devotion TO the
L mon. and desire for It's preservation, X en-
tacky awaits with deep solicitude the response
from her sister States.

During the carly part of the present week
there were rumors of attacks both on Fort
Sumpter and Fort Pickens They were, how
ever, unfounded, as were also the reports that
Fort Sumpter had been reinforced. The
Brooklyn has arrived at Pensacola, where she
Joined the Macedonian, and if Fort Pckens
is attacked they will go to her relief. The ar
dor of the secession troops concentrated at
that point for the purpose Of attacking the
Fort has somewhat abated, and number OF
the volunteer companies from neighboriug
States, having become impatient of the delay
in making the attack, had left for their homes
in disgust. Nothing new has occurred at
Charleston, but as Col. Hayne had failed in
his Washington mission and gone home, we
may expect to hear of an attack on Fort
Sumpter pretty soon, if there is to be any al
all. 1t is understood that Maj. Anderson and
Lieut.. Slcmmcr are in a condition to give the
rebels warm reception in case they venture
an attack on either Sumprer or Pickens.

The Conference Of Commissions from most
of the loyal States, appointed at the sugges-
tion Of Virginia, met in WashingtoL on
Monday. ExPresident lyle, of Va was
chosen President, and made a conciliatory
speech on taking the chair. Senator Chase,
of Ohio, and other Commissioners according
to the telegraphic despatehes) expressed them
selves well pleased with the speech aud
avoSed their readiness to follow where yir-
ginia leads" Some of the Commissioners
not having arrived, no attempt had been
made to transact business. It is understood
that the sessions of the Conference will be
held with closed doors, and all except Com
missioners will be excluded

The election for delegate to the State Con-
vention, held in Virginia on Monday last, re-
suited in a total rout of the secessionists.-
From the returns received it is supposed the
immediate secessionists will not have more
than 40 of the 152 delegates elected. This is
a highly encouraging indication, and affords
room for hope that the Border Slave States
will not suffer themselves to be dragged out of
the Union by South Carolina E; but too much
Importance should not be attached to it, as
in Virginia and the other border States, the
large majority of those who claim to be loyal
to the Union make that loyalty contingent up
on assent on the part of the North to the de-
mands they make for constitutional amend
ments or other guarantees for the protection
of slavery, some of which demands there is no
probability the free States viii ever aceede to,
and if persisted in they must present an ad-
justmeat.

THE REPuBLIcAN DoCTRINE.-The doctrine
of the Republicans with regard to slavery is
tersely stated by Mr.. Sherman as follows:
IL believe that Slavery is local institution,
municipal in It's character, protected by State
laws, having rights exclusively within those
States, having no right beyond those States,
except the right to recapture fugitives who
escape from service. Believing, as l do, that
that is the correct construction Of the Con-
stitution never will, whatever may be the
consequences, vote for proposition to estab-
lsh, protect, Or uphold Slavery anywhere on
Gods earth''

A VoIcE FROM THE Stout HEARTED AND
TRUE.-T'he Lexington Dispatch, printed in
Henderson county, Tennessee, says that the
disunionists in that State are made up not
only of the Breckenridge party, but includes
many who were of the so called Union -
party at the election, but that paper adds
But we will rout the plotters. They may
chant their Marseilles Hymn in Memphis f;
but the stout hearted and true, bone and sim
CIV, of Tennessee will never learn that difficult
and Frenchy piece of bloody music. They
have learned Yankee Doodle so well, and love
it so well for its glorious associations, that
such a host of them will start to the polls
when that old tune strikes up, that Disunion
with its guilty, treasonous face, will be hustled
off the ground"

The Louisiana Secession Ordinance "an-
nuIs' altogether toe much for the purpose ap-
parentlv intended. That State owes her
connection with the United States to treaty
between the latter and France, and to the
payment Of several millions of dollars by our
Government as consideration. All the pow
ers she can ''resume," are either those of colo
NAL dependence upon the United States or up
on France. Which position does she covet
OF all the mad freaks of Disunion folly, this
of Louisiana is the most ridiculous yet exhibi-
ted She never had any State independence, -
and majority of her people show themselves
unworthy of anything else than provincial
subordination and depe ndence.

Secretary Blacks decision, called
out by enquiries made by several
foreign ministers, that no clearances
issued by any other authorities than
officers of the United States will be
recognized, and that any payment of
duties on importations, except to such
officers, will be regarded as mispay-
ments, for which the parties will be
held responsible to our Government,
will have the effect to drive away all
foreign commerce from Charleston,
and practically to establish block

The Mobile Advertises says During the
past year l35, ,43O muskcts have been quietly
transferred from the Northern arsenal at
Springfield alone, to those in the Southern
States We are much obliged to Secretary
Floyd for the foresight he thus displayed in
disarming the North and eqtiPpmg the South
for this emergency. There is no telling the
quantity of arms and muniti ons which were
sent South from other Northern arsenals.-
There is no doubt that every man in the
South who can carry gun, can now be sup
piled from private or public sources. The
Springfield contribution along would arm all
the militia men of Alabama and Mississippi"

from the city of Charleston represent the
condition of affairs there as deplorable in the
extreme. The merchants are without bust

ployment-and the troops which have been
ordered into the field by the Governor are
suffering severely from sickness and the expo

are all now reaping the first harvest of trou-
bles brought upon them by lawless and ambi-

There is no danger that any class of New

pathy with disunionists. The unani nous res
outons of the division officers under Gen.
Sanford-TcpresenlinE as they do, every po-
itical party. and wide social variety, is as
good test as could be bad of the state of
public feeling. Men Of business and men of
leisure. men of calculation and men Of impulse,
men of means and men of impecunious. native
born and foreigners. are all thus reprepresent-
ed. Moreover, feeling is creeping over the
mercantile community, that in view of the
present attitude of Southern States, the cheap
est course after ALL as we'll as the most thor
ough, will be to enforce the laws This con-
sideration has helped public vir tue little
which is nothing against public virtue. The
money due the North may be long coming
even if the South soon turn back but if she
goes on it will never come. Many wealthy
merchants in this city, whose credits in the
South amount to millions, now freely express
this opinion. Whatever comes, the people of
New York will be found a unit in the support
of the federal laws and the Constitution of the
United States.
