the following as a question of privilege:
WHEREAS. The following statement appear

asceriained that other frauds, &c, copy from
the Washington correspondent of the Times
on Wednesday, relative to the library for the
Southern Coniederacy: therefore,
RcsoLUed, That Select Committee of three
be appointed to inquire into the truth of the
statement, and that the ComInittee have
power to send for persons and papers, with
leave to report at any time - ~
The resolution was passed.
The following statement of the eorrespon-
dent of the n. Y. Times gave rise TO the above
proceeding
1t is ascertained that, in addition to the
other frauds perpetrated by the seeding
the members of Congress, they have taken from
Congressional Library, which IL, probably. the
best in this country. containing many books
which cannot be obtained elsewhere-some of
the most valuable volumes in The whole col
lection. Thousands OF dollars worth have
been thus distracted and carried off by these
members Among them, single South Car
Dina member. am informed has more than
four hundred dollars worth Of digests of the
most valuable character. and which can
never be replaced. Scarcely one of these gen.
at'nen took the trouble to return his books but
the contrary ,cere very cautious to hare them care
fully packed and sentof L am further inform
ed that member from one of the Border
States, who favors secession, and thought his
State sure to secede, sent orders for upwards
Of one thousand dollars worth of books re-
Gently, which, under the rules of the Library
were refused. This is regarded here to be
very near akin to what Webster defines as

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury does not seem to concur
with certain more enthusiastic journals in
their Interpretation of the late election in
Virginia as "a good enough secession tri-
umph." He writes as follows under date of
the 9Th instant:
"The returns from Virginia, as given in
the telegraphic columns of the morning pa-
pers have greatly elated the Republicans
But the secessionists are by no means dis
couraged. They expected the State to go
against them, and trust to the rupture of the
Peace Congress, the plack of the Republi-
cans, and the sincerity OF the Cotton States
for the eventual salvation of the State. One
thing, however. is now certain, and that is,
the Inevitable delay occasioned by the sue
cess of the Virginia submissionists keeps all
the Border States in until some time after
Mr. LincOln's Inauguration. Your duty,
therefore, is TO go straight on and organize
the Government at Montgomery on a solid
basis, just as though there were no other
States besides the original seven. The fewer
the men IN the Convention the more quickly
and satisfactorily you can perfect your Con-
stltution. What is most likely to interfere
with your progress at Montgomery towards
permanent Government is the designing op-
position OF men who, whatever may be
thought in South Carolina and the South, are
here believed 10 mean nothing that does not
tend to promote an ultimate return to Wash
ington. This is well known here, and to
men not many degrees removed from Repub-
licans. / am sorry to see that Bouham and
Mcqueen are neither in the Convention.
They really desired to get rid of the abolition
alliance at once and forever, and might have
been useful at Montgomery. II is obvious
that your secession is due 10 the people, and
not to the politicians. The new order of
things demands new men. untainted by Fed
eral contamination, and ambitious of achiev-
ing renown in the only path ever opened to
them-that of Southern Cenfederacy.-
Hence the wisdom of those like Alabama,
which sent one only of the old regime to Mont.

s. The New York Times. Republican jouF-
nal, remarks upon the result of the recent
elections in Virginia aud Tennessee:
W. have evidence now of a Union party
in the Southern States. The Government
has friends, the Constitution mas supporters
there, with whom to treat. Cancellation and
compromise become now acts of friendly ar
rangement, instead of surrender to open and
defiant enemies. We have no hesitation In
saying that the result of these elections not
only enables, but requires, the Republican
party to treat the whole question in a differ
ent spirit, and to tender 10 the Union party
in the South every guarantee which justice
can grant OF ask, against any infringement
of their rights, or any disturbance OF their
domestic peace. We take il for granted that
the Republican party desires and seeks the
preservation of TIE Union-and that it stands
ready to make any sacrifice, consistent with
principle and sslf-respect, for the accomplish
ment of this object. The Republican Admin
istratiOn which is soon to assume the respOn-
sibility of power, must have support, so far
as carrying On the Government is concerned,
in the South as we'll as in the North. The
Government cannot be conducted on a Sec
tional basis, nor can any true friend of the
new Administration desire to see it resting
exclusively upon sectional support. II must
from the necessity of the case, be the first
endeavor of the new President to seek the
confidence Of all sections IN the integrity of
his purposes. and the strictly constitutional
character of his Administration And it is
the duty of all who intend to give him a fair
and effective support to smooth the way for
the performance of this most difficult but i'm
pOrtant task.

The Peace Conference atwashinston

The Peace Conference atWashingtOn.
a brief telegram announced on Saturday
that the Peace Conference Committee had
reported plan of pacifeation which applies
the principle of the Missouri Compromise
North Of Sc degrees and 80 minutes. and
popular sovereignty South OF it. If such
recommendation and its adoption were
unanimous, we should lay aside much of
personal prediction to see it accepted by
all sectors. But we imagine, if the tele-
graph fairly and fully states the report, that
il was not unanimous, and that it will lead
to warm debate in the Convention. If we
are correct il this, it may follow that the ac-
ton of the Convention may not fully accom-
plish its object. We trust the telegraph has
been impefect in its report, as it not unfre-
quently is, and that the report of the Com
mittee may be such as to meet the ready &C
ceptance of all parties and sections, or at
least of such as are willing to perpetuate
the government on the principles of justice
and equality.
Though we have long regarded the slavery
agitation as abstract and useless under pres
ent circumstances, still we have seen it so
manipulated as to bring alienation to the
country, and to threaten its permanent over
throw We have seen it overlap and smother
the patriotic impulses of the American peo-
pie, and operate constantly as blight upon
true American craftsmanship, and foster the
fungous growt of demagogues and mischief
IVa hnx- !. i
crush out the noble aspirations of the true
friends of the country and its Constitution.
We have thought the present fitting occa-
sion to settle this mischievOus question, and
to Danish it forever from American politics
to release the American mind from the curse
of its agitation, and once more inaugurate a
feeling of universal confraternity, and thus
bring back our erring friends in the South
into the old cheished Union of the fathers of
the Republic. But if an open ing is left for
the unceremonious entrance of Border
Rufians on the one side and of Emigrant
Aid Societies on the other, we greatly mis-
give the result. Though it may be an alb
straction and nothing substantial may be
gained or lost on either side by the reported
plan, yet there is class of agitators and
mischief makers on both sides, who must be
deprived of their occupation before the set
Element can be made final, and the public
mind of the nation released from the des-
potism of agitation and fanaticism. We ap-
prehend that ;his should be the paramount
object of the Peace Conference, attained by
a diligent observance of the spirit and princi-
pies Of the Federal Constitution.
