THE VICE PRESIDENT.

A few days ago, a.letter from the Vice Pres,
ident was published, denying that he had ad-
vised Governor Hicks not TO convene the Legis-
lature of Maryland. The tone of the nial left
little room to doubt that the Vice President de.
sired that Governor Hicks should do, what he
has so wisely refused to do. However, the Vice
President did not say so in SO many words.
1t is now announced, however, that he has
written the Governor Of Kentucky, advising that
measures be taken for a State Convention there.
That is to say, he advises course which, if it
accomplishes anything, will put Kentucky upon
the path of secession.
Nor Is this all which the Vice President has
done. He expressly endorses the Crttenden
platform, as the one upon which Kentucky ought
to stand, when he certainly knows that the free
States will reject every part and parcel of it, and
that to make it the standard Of Southern de-
mands, is only manifesto of disunion.

Mr.. CLARK's REsoLuTIoNs.-We subjoin the
resolutions offered in the Senate, on Wednesday,
by Mr.. Clark, of New Hampshire:
"Resolred, That the provisions of the Con-
stitution are ample for the preservation of the
Union and the protection of all the national
interests of the country that it nseds to be
obeyed, rather than amended and that all ex-
tricstion from our present dangers is to be
looked for in strenuous efforts to preserve the
peace, protect the public property, and enforce
the laws, rather than in any new guarantees for
particular interests and compromises for par.
ticular difficulties to unreasonable demands.
" Resolved, That all attempts to divide the
present Union, or overthrow or abandon the
present Constitution, with the hope or expecta-
ton of constructing new one, are dangerous,
illusory, and destructive; that, in the opinion
of the Senate of the United States, no recon.
struction is practicable, and therefore to the
maintenance of the existing Union and Con.
stitution should be directed all the energies OF
all the departments of the Government, and
the efforts of all good citizens"

MORE SLAvERs CApTURED.-The Navy De-
partment have official advices Of the capture Of
two New Orleans slavers, the brig Toccoa and
barque Mary Kimball, by Lieut.. Curren, of the
U. s. steamer Mohawk. They had just sailed
from Havana upon shaving cruise, when he
went after and overlook them, the first on the
goth ult., and the last on the 2lst. He took
them to Key West, and delivered them up to
the United States marshal there.
The Quaker City, which arrived at New York
on the 9th, from Havana, brings the following
intelligence:
The ship Lesbia, under French colors, sup.
posed to be the ship Montauk, of New York, J
was taken off the port by a Spanish steamer of
war, and brought into Havana, with 900 ne.
groes on board

NJ The Baltimore Exchange of the 7th,
Democratic paper, accepts the proposition to
admit New Mexico, not as compromise of the
slavery question, but as wisely removing bone
of contention. The Exchange says:
"The proposition for its admission is per.
fectly fair, and its adoption would practically
remove from Congress the agitation OF the lead
ing and exciting question involved in the bred
Scot decision"
The Exchange adds, that although the plan
of new acquisitions to be converted into slave
territory, as urged by Mr.. Cri.teuden, may be
desired farther South" it is not called for by
any interests Of Maryland.

PLANS OF THE ENEMY.-The Baltimore Sun,

fishes the following, being a part of letter
from one of its secession allies in this city,
dated on the 9th instant:
"The leaders of the Southern movement are
consulting as to the best mode of consolidating
their interests into Confederacy under Pro
risional Government The plan is to make
Senator Hunter, Of Virginia, Provisional Presi.
dent, and Jefferson Davis Commander in. chief
of the army of defence. Mr. Hunter now pos.
sesses, in q more eminent degree, the philosophi-
cal characteristics of Jefferson than any other
statesman now living"

Alabama Convention.

Montgomery, Jan. s-Mr. Bulger of Talla,
poosa, offered preamble and resolutions of a
cooperative and conservative character, as fol-
lows:
Resolred, That separate State action would
be unwise and impoitic.
Resolved, That Alabama should invite the
Southern States to hold a Convention as early as
practicable, to consider and agree upon state,
ment of grievances, and the manner Of obtain.
ing redress, whether in the Union or in iude-
pendence out Of it.
These resolutions were referred to com.
mttee of thirteen.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

The House was engaged in District business.
In the Senate, Mr.. Davis, of Mississippi, spoke
at large upon current affairs. Although his
State has seeded from the Union, and at his
instigation, he announced his intention of re.
naming in the Senate for a few days longer.
1t is the universal opinion, that he degrades
himself by this unblushing attempt to partiei-
pate longer in the deliberations of a Govern.
ment which he is seeking to overthrow.
Mr.. Trumbull replied, but not at length, to
the speech of Mr.. Davis. We did not hear Mr.
Trumbull, but we understand that heexpressed
his willingness to restore the Missouri line, just
as 1t stood when it was repealed by the Kansas
act; viz: prohibiting slavery north of 36' 3O',
but silent as to slavery south of that line, and
confined to the Louisiana purchase.

We cbeerfully give the writer Of the follow.
ing note the benefit of the explanation con-
tanned in it. But as we do not recognise the
right of any State to authorize its citizens,
whether resident or nonresident, % commit
treason against the United States, we do not
see how the happening of the contingency upon
which he admits that he will be found fighting
agant the stars and stripes, will palliate his Of
fence.

years old, yet his health is good, and his whole

is owing, doubtless, to his very temperate

THE LATE SECRETARY OF THE IN.
TERROR ~..

The correspondence between this official, Of
whom the country has at last rid itself, and the
President, is published. .-.. ~.
The President admits that there had been
an understanding, that reinforcements should
not be sent 10 Fort Sumter, without the matter
being first considered in Cabinet but he says
that il was so considered and decided on the
I'd of January.
Asa part of the interior history Of current
events, we publish the following portion Of the
Presidents letter:
AT called a special Cabinet meeting on
Wednesday, I'd January, 1851, in which the
question of sending reinforcements to Fort
sumter was amply discussed both by yourself
and others. The decided majority Of opinions
was against you. At this moment the answer
of the South Carolina Commissioners to my
communication to them Of 3lst December was
received and read. 1t produced much indig-
nation among the members Of the Cabinet
After further brief conversation, | employed
the following language: 1t is now all over, and
reinforcements must be sent Judge Black
said, at the moment of my decision, that after
this letter the Cabinet would be unanimous,
and heard no dissenting voice. Indeed, the
spirit and tone of the letter left no doubt on
my mind that Fort Sumter would be imme-
diately attacked, and hence the necessity Of
sending reinforcements there without delay:
"w6ilst you admit, that on Wednesday,
January I'd, this subject was again discussed
in Cabinet you say, but certainly no conclu-
sion was reached, and the War Department
was not justified in ordering reinforcements
without something more than was then said.
You are certainly mistaken in alleging that
no conclusion was reached In this your
recollection is entirely different from that ol
your four Oldest colleagues in the Cabinet. In
deed, my language was so unmistakable, tha
the Secretaries Of War and the Navy proceeded
to act upon iswithout any further intercourse
with myself than what you heard or might
have heard me say. You had been SO EN-
phatic in opposing these reinforcements, that
thought you would resign in consequence o
my decision"

~ We are happy to be able to infer, from
the National Intelligencer Of yesterday, that it

the path Of safety does not lie there.

Charleston, Jan. 9.-The steamer Star of the
West, with troops to reinforce Fort Sumter, ar
rived off the Charleston bar ut an early hour
this morning, when she attempted to enter the
harbor with the American flag flying, when
brisk FIRE was opened upon her by the garrison
sta ioned at the lighthouse on Morris Island.
The guns of Fort Moultrie on the other side
also opened OIL her, when the steausr put about
and wentto sea again. The belief is that no
injury was sustained either by the boat or those
on board.
