Tuesday Morning, February 90, 1851.


The Rev. Lowman Halves, Pastor Of the first
Presbyterian church, of Madison, Indiana, died
in that city, on the 18th inst.
The Peace Conference has by very decided
majoritOry approved a proposition for the final
settlement of the vexed Territorial question. by
providing that north of the line Of SO deg. 80
mius slavery shall be forever prohibited, and
south Of that line We presume Congress aud the
Territorial Legislatures are to he prohibited
from interfering with it, and new States are to
be admitted with Free or Slave Constitutions,
according to the wishes Of the people.
In Mr.. LineolA's speeches in Philadelphia says
the Press, there were two remarks, which, to
some extent, indicated approximations of an attack
before his Inauguration, or, at all events, thai
he did not consider it certain he would fill the
Presidential chair. In his remarks in reply tC
Mayor Henry, at the Continental Hotel, he said
al shall speak officially next Monday week, j.
eper. II should not speak then, it were useless
for me to do 30 now" In his speech at Inie
pendence Hall on Friday morning, alludiug Il
one of the sentiments Of the Declaration of In
dependence, he remarked: "If this countr
cannot be saved without giving up that Irinci
ple-l was about to say, SOuld RAJ er be ASA,
sinated on this spot than to surrender IL" It
possible that these expressions were used in
general sense, but it is by no meaus iulprobabl
I that they were directly or indirectly occaaione
by fears of an attempt to asssssinate him.

A SCENE IN THE ALABAMA LEoisLATuRE-An
Interesting incident TRANSFERRED in the lower House
of the Alabama Legislature on the Cd of Feb
ruary. MIR. Clitheiall, in the course of his re-
marks, denouncing the stay law, just passed by
the Legislature, took occasion 10 say that. had
he supposed such measure would become a
law, he should have preferred to live for four
years under Mr. Lncoln's rule. This ELECTED a
hiss from some member, and Mr.. Clitherall re-
torted, by observing that if the gentleman who
Missed would show himself, he would put his
mouth in such II condition that he would not

Thereupon Mr.. George q. Henry, of Mobile,

believed to be the cause of the present National
troubles, there is no doubt that he would have
been mobbed before he had reached New York.
On the contrary, the only difficulty he has
met has been that of responding to the popular
applause; the only embarrassment has Been the
continual enthusiasm of tens Of thousands of
people. No political demonstration has been
made-he has not accepted honors from Wide
Awakes and Republicans, but from that patriot
ism alone, which parties never created, and never
can confne. We agree with Mr. Lincoln in his
belief, that this universal enthusiasm was not
meant for the nominee of Chicago, hut for the
President of the United Slates-N y. Century.

The Philadelphia Press of yesterday morning,
in speaking of the yillainOus lottery system AID
the commitments of policy dealers to the county
Prison, says;
" The Legislature of Delaware, from whom
most of these evils emanate, is about to legpize
more lotteries, to devastate through the instru.
mentality ofpolicy- places, the cities of the whole
Union. We understand that Dover is now be-
sieged with lobbymen, bent upon securing this
end"

regard for the good name of the State abroad,
are they willing to sacrifice their own personal
reputation as moral aud upright men, by legal

TnE President ELEcT.-Mr. Lncoln's Journey
to Washington has proved the occasion Of fresh
and noble expression Of the popular patriotism,
more clear and emphatic than the pledges Of
Union meetings, or the countless petitions with
which Congress has been overwhelmed. 1t has
shown that now, as hitherto in the history Of
our country, after the excitement Of the election
the people Of all parties honestly unite in honor
ing the successful candidate, not as the repre-
sentative Of party, but as the President Of the
United States. Notwithstanding his election has
been made the pretext of secession, the pretend
