HARRISBURG, Penn, Feb, ], 1861. -,
The Democracy of the moderate stamp are

as long as they can obtain aud retain power by
it. But when they are beaten, they inauguratc
a new party. Generally they begin with getting
up Workngmcns' movement, as nobody
feels like sayiDg anything against the " honest
yeOmanry." Following out this programme,
which is an old one, by the way, the Democracy
of Philadelphia get up wOrkingmen'S meeting
ostensibly to save the Union. That meeting mp
pointed Committee Of thiIty.three of their
number, to 90 to Washington to ask the passage
of the Crittenden proposition. Returning, they
made call at Harrisburg and held meeting
in the Hall of the House on Thursday evening.
Their chosen speaker was Democrat, and %
out Of the 80 were opposed to the Republicans

WHY DON'T THE NON-SLAyEH0LDERS
CRUSH SECESSION

To the Editor Of The ". \. Tribune.
SIR: IL seems to me very strange that the mass Of
the people in the Southern States DO not have ade
quate idea of their power and interests. If they
had they would crush Sect sson in week large ma
oy of the people in those States not Shareholders
Their Interests are identical with those of the people Of
the Free States 70 fur the extension Of Slavery is
concerned According to tie last census $780, the free
population of yKMnaisl 097 1873. The number of slave
hoIdersdoes not Ipresume, exceeded, 000 1nlSJ0was
50 063. Compendium U. s. Census 1850, p. 95 So in
every Slave Slate the number Of shareholders, com.
pared with that of it's whole white population, is very
email. Now is there way of inducing the whites of
those States to examine the census statistics and thus
realize their own strength The rights of the
South r. We hear great deal about these, as though
all the people Of the South had direct interest in the
system OF Slavery, whereas only rery teo OF them,
as the census statistics show, have any at all. This
eusion with regard to the rights of the people of the
South s too prevalent both here and there IL seems
TO me if the facts could be brought to the knowledge OF
the masses in those States, they would coon put down
treason rebellion and secession and settle forever the
question of the right OF 900 Shareholders to extend
Slavery into the Territories contrary to the interests OF
some 81 OOO 900 of whites in the United States.

BALTIMORE, Feb. ], 1861.
As an indication Of the serious effects of the
Southern rebellion upon the prosperity of tie
CITY. may be cited the almost total cessation Of
travel. The leading hotel establishment in Balti-
more has been forced to smut mp more than hall
its spacious house, to discharge Isary t"o-Lmrds
of its servants, and to abandon its large elegant,
and comfortable gentlemens ordinary, for the
moderate-szed ladies' dining-saoon, which is now
ample enough to accommodate all its guestq. All
the other public houses have suffered in proper.
ton. Had Baltimore emphaticaIy repudated all
sympathy with the rebellion at the start, things
would have worn very different aspect from
what they now do. But what right had we to
look for different results, when our city was
made the headquarters of nearly the whole
State Senate, and sefcalled conference of
ambitious partisans, for concertirg measures to
upset the State Government, and aid South
Carolina in sezing on the Federal capital, end
when three of our newspapers have been daily
poisoning the public mind with secession rhetoric
ever since the Presidential election, while the
other three have been keeping them in cOun-
tenance by contending for some sort Of COM
promise
The authoritative denial by The Springfield
Journal of the reported sympathy of the PreSi-
dent elect with the compromise schemes now
Matching at Washington, has given the friends Of
the Federal Government in Baltimore more hope
fulness Of the Union than any event that has yet
occurred since the outbreak of the rebels. II
has imposed on the conservative element the
necessity Of protecting itself from the further
violence Of the Secessionist cabal. That element
has hitherto been palsied by the hope Of Repub.
lican concessions, which Maryland conservatives
were az willing to accept as those Of the Cotton
States, for we are as keeny alive to political
power as South Carolina is. Had Preston King
and Ben. Wades example been followed by
every Republican in Congress, at the opening Of
the Session, / do not believe single State would
have gone out-on paper. ...

CHARLESTON, Jan. %, 1861.
II is amusing to see the efforts made by the
South Carolina press to parade before the peo-
pie oil that may tend to increase its prejudices
against the North, and to suppress all that is cal
culated to lessen their confidence in the efficiency
of their Government. All the difficulties to which
the Governor here is exposed by tue multiplicity
of candidates for Office and by the frequent
changes in the appointment of officers, are studi-
eusy kept from the public knowledge, SO as to
leave the people here under an impression that
the wheels of Government are moving smoothly.
In my letter of the 2lst referred to this pain.
frl state Of things and mentioned the name of
an officer whose appointment was on that day
reported to have taken place, while others were
considered more entitled TO the nomination. This
mentioned rs an illustration Of the difficulties
with which the Governor has to contend, but
The Charleston Courier of to-day finds fault with
my communication, and also contends that the
letter could not have been written in Charleston,
because l have taken the liberty to announce,
upon Trustworthy information, that the Legisla-
ture was to be adjourned at the end of the week
an event which has since taken place, accord
ing to my announcement. Generally, you may
eoaclude that if any of the Charleston journals
gives an extract from the Charleston correspond
enes of THE n. Y. TRIBUNE, to disprOve it's ve-
racity, it has the contrary effect Of confirming
its authenticity.
Donations to the Government, but Of iBeOnsid-
cradle amount, continue to flow in from different
quarters New batteries continue to be erected
In some directions and Major Ripley has con-
cluded TO remain for the present here. The
Governor rays that all will be ready now in
few days Cor successful operations against Fort
Sumter, and the object is to inaugurate the
formation Of the proposed Southern COnfederacy
at Montgomery next week with the destruction
of the Las. yestge of Federal authority in South
Carolina with the attack on Fort Sumter. JEFF
ferson Davis ia noW spoken OF as the Command
erin Chief Of the forces of the seeded Slave
States, and it is rumOred that the Provisional
Presidency will be offered to Alex. Stephens of
Georgia, but it is not believed that be will ac-
cept it. The hallucnatiOn about the royalty Of
Cotton and the magic Influence of that commod-
ty upon the European Powers continues una.
bated here, and one of the journals announces to-
dsy that 81 may be counted on pih certainty that
any attempt to block up Southern trade wW be put
dOpa By England and France. They must haze
tae cotton" In harmony with the spirit of this
prOnunciamientO, the same journal publishes
circular sent here by New-YOrk jobber, which
inclOse fer curiosity's sake. Of course, he is
rewarded by the warm compliments of the
Charleston editor, for various articles are want
ed here on credit, particularly munitions of war,
wood coal, and other similar delica,ies of the
Charleston season.

the Republicans have, nominally, q majority of
Jony-tro. By analyzing the votes taken for the
last week, it appears tat there are a number
who vote steadily w;.eh the radical Democrats.
Mr.. Armstrong Of Lycoming, a man Of ability
and influence, cakes as good democratic speeches
as could hire been desired before election Mr.
Pattersch of Junetta, who was. very radical the
first few days of the session, has entirely wilted
down. Mr.. Hayey, plain farmer-ike mana
new member-fTOm Delaware County, largely
peopled by Quakers, beleye)-was supposed to
be among the strong men, but he, l am told, has
expressed his anxiety to vote for the repeal OF
the Kidnapping law. Gen. Wilson, OF Beaver
goes as directly against the will of his con-
sttuents as does Gideon j. Ball, of Erie. Both
are now sadly disappearing those whose votes
sent them here. But one representative from
Philadelphia can be called Republican. They
generally work with the Democrats on all ma
tional questions. The exception is DR.. Setzer
who represents the Seventh District. He never
lodges or flinches when opportunity offers to
cast a straight Republican vote. Mr.. Bar
tholomew, of Schuyl kill, made a good strong
Anti-Slayery speech, when be first commenced
his legislative career; but he has gone under on
/" the 95th and Goth sections Of the Personal
Code" which is the kidnapping law These are
some of the prominent legislators of Pennsyl-
vania, who are responsible for leaving the Re-
publicans without any reliable power in the
Pennsylvania Legislature. When they return to
their constituents, many Of them viii have leave
to stay at home.

THE ATTACK ON MAJOR ANDERSON.


A private letter from Charleston, written on
the evening of the 30th ult., reterates tie report
published in TIE TRIBUNE of Saturday, TO the
effect that the preparations for the attack on
Sumter would be completed on Saturday, aud
goes on thus:
"Co. Ripley, in command of Fort Moultrie
resigned because be was overlooked in the mat
ter of q commissions; he was afterward, how
ever, pacifed and retained in service. II the
Star of tie West could have LANDED troops on
Morris Island, the reyOlutionists would have fled
without exchanging shot with the regulars, for
the $50 men at that point were unproyded with
bayonets, and their cartridges oil to large for the
rifles.

The Mercury. The English Consul here is the
medium of communication between interested
parties ia England and the Secessionists. Tie
Mercury is confident of an early recognition Of
the Southern Coniederacy based on such insig-
nifcant trihes as the receipt Of an autograph

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 80, 1861.
About midnight last night the Cotton boat
Marion from Georgetown, when nearly abreast
of Fort MOultrie, was served with shot across
her bow from that fort. Not paying any atten-
ton to this, and not satisfactorily answering q
verbal summons, as to who she was, bomb
was let fly, which, however, did no damage
This had the desired effect. When her character
was ascertained she was allowed to proceed.
The impression at the time was that she was
q steamer with reenforcements for Fort Sumter,
and there was great excitement on Sullivan's
Island and ct the Revolutionary fOrtregses gen.
orally. The soldiers there who care spIing
for fight" thought surely it had come and at
once sprang into an attitude Of readiness They
were not little disappointed on discovering the
mistake.
Steamers and vessels of every description,
whose name and character are not fully known
which Is not often-on entering this harb0r, are
warned by shot across their bows. As may
be supposed, the young gentlemen are too anx-
ious to display their gunnery and make 9 noise,
TO be over nice as to the manner they observe
propriety on such occasions. In fact vessels
and commerce in Charleston harbor are little less
than the playthings Of the armed multitude who
skirt its shores. Never did a people manifest
such folly as the RevoutioDists in destroying the
commerce of this port. Every craft going in or
out must show the Revolutionary flag. On the
slightest pretense ships are fred upon, and thus
lives and property are endangered. After hav.
