THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MORE ANXIOUS TO CARRY THE
SPRING ELECTIONS THAN TO PRESERVE THE UNION.
In the Tribune of Saturday the following article
appears conspicuously printed in its editorial cell
umns
Republican of great weight and influence in
the councils of the sound portion of the party in
! Congress writes US that "the mpatience of Repub-
licans for the arrival of the period when Mr.. Lincoln
will speak for himself increases every hour. Cur
seS loud and deep are everyw here heaped upon
those who would demoralize and betray the Re-
publican party into the hands ofits enemies by com
promises. 1t is impossible without breach ofcon

RuMoRS OF ADJUSTMENT.
| The following extract from a letter to GENTLE
man in this city, refers rumors that are rife in
New oTk, and which we hope well-founded:
New York, Feb. 7th, 1861
Your meeting has done much to correct here
| abouts the false impressions as to Maryland's
position in the present crisis-impressions created
by Hicks conduct and the support and countenance
| ne mas received from decent who should have
known better. Some OF the most intelligent Re-
publicans in this city believe, and have good
ground for their belief, that Seward, in conversa-
ton defines the issue to be the Union or the Chcngo
| platform; and that should hesitate in his
| choice. and that he is preparing to abandon the
latter with the main body of his party and to
carry through the border State propositions; thus
| placing himself at the head of the Union party-
! This settlement is looked for by them from Con-
gress, and before the Peace Conference acts: for
by this latter body Seward has no idea of being
| robbed.
| Until the last day or two nv opinion has been
| very decided that Seward would not be able to
gain the support of his party in Congress for any,
thlng like an abandonment of the Chicago platform
The information to which have referred, how
ever, tends to change this opinion materially and
! induces me to hope Tor something better than
| peaceable separation. Greeey's bones, true poti-
| cal barometers, tell him there is to be change in
the weather, and as he is to be deck hand, his
wrath knows no bounds when dealing with Seward.
The great body of the party, however, will be very
glad to escape thus easily from position which
they now fully realize their inability to maintain.
