4 patriotic desire to preserve the Union,
and now that his position is fully un-
derStool and condemned by the organ
of the administration in n. Y, it in
spires us with new hope for the pres
ervation of our Union.
TO his future, and those whom
he controls in the formation and
the expression of opinion, for the veal
or woe of our Government, we shall
look with great interest.
The World says, and VIC earnestly
request all our readers to examine Its
article carefully.
The Ty9buac which has always been un-
surpassed for coarse vigor and virulsnce, is
doing great mischief to the cause of the I'M
ion bounding on General Scott to make
rash and precipitate attack on the rebels and
trying to poison the public mind against him
and the administration because they will not
hazard defeat Ivy virtually surrendcring to
Mr. Greedy the direction of ths war. The
truth is, the conductors of the Tribune are at
heart Iisunionists, and have been for the last
eight years. In the spring Of 1854, or there
absuss that paper published long and very
noticeable series of editorial articles, running
through several months and fortified by y
great array of statistics, aiming toprove
that the Union is not a blessing to the North,
but disadvantage. He went SO far as to
compute, automatically, the precise amount
of pee unir,v loss entailea annually on every
inhabitsnt of the free States by the continu-
ance'of the Union-whicE it ciphered up to
be sum that would look formidable if COL
lectcd by tax-gatherer. Those deliberate
and elaborate ARTICLES, so shocking to oil the
traditions handed down to us by the fathers
of the Republic, naturally attracted much
atte,;ticn at the time. The Tribune has
neither retractcd their views nor acknowl-
edged the inaccur,cy of their statistics from
that day to this en- the contrary. there is
no labor which it has performed with such
zeal and gustc. and with such profusion OF
clumsy rit,icule, as that Of soothing at every
public man or Political pacty that expressed
auv fears of the dissolution of the Union. In
the well-stocked arsenal of abusive epthets
and ribaldry which has always been the
Iribune's chief controversial resource. there
is TO one which it has seemed to consider as
so damaging. or a. making the person pelted
with it quite so ridiculous, as 'Unlon-:aver.
Those attempts, pursued Through long years
with remarkable tenacity of purpose, to make
every man who cared for the preservation OF
the Union m object of derison, very natural
eliminated m the early part of last winter.

WHIT ARE re FIGHTING FOR1

WHAT IKE " f. FIGHTING FOR!
The editor of the ". Y. Times who
Ina. Just returned from Washington,
has revealed the secrets of his fellow
abolition conspirators as they were con-
ided to him at the National Capital,
iGy avowing that 'there is a divinity
shaping the course of this war, and we
must accept its fortunes and its nristor-
tunes with equal trust and hopcfulness.
There is one thing and only one at
tie bottom Of the .fght-amd thut is
the NEGRO. And yet both North and
South are studiously ignoring the fact,
and deceiying themselves and trying
to deceive the world as to the cause of
quarrel"
We think with all due Difference to
: the Times that the divinity of which
the editor of that paper speaks so
complacent1y, is nothing less than the
demon of disunion. The Democratic
hosts now lowering upon the borders of
the South are fl shting for the mainte-
nance of the Union and will continue
so to fight, against abolit,onisn in the
North, and its natural ofshoot, Tscces-
sion and rebellion in the South. 1.-THE
administration wotll give the country
any authoritative assurance of its pur-
poses in this war, it would lislEiss from
ats confidence men who have for years
been Identified with a sectional aboli-
tion party, and the battle for the Con
stitution and the Union wosld be
half fought and victory sure to be won.
We know that the President, if he de-
sires it, can find conservative republi
cans to administer the government in
stead of the aboltionists he has gather
ell around him and in whom as friends
of the Union no confidence can lie pla-
ced.
IF the administration would assure
the country that the war is prosecuted
for other purposes than those avowed
by such papers as the Times, the
Iribuncs dig and little) and the pa
pers of their ilk, let it call around it
for it's Cabinet men who arenot welded
to the principles and policy of an ''lrre-
pressiblc conflict" between the North
and the South. 1t is too great a tax
upon the gullability of man to ask the
intelligent people to bclievethat the alb
olitionist Chase, or the hi CHER law
Seward, are in favor of any other I'm
ion than one where Northern sentiment
stands arrayed against Southern, with
IN 'irrepressiblc conflict against the
existence of Southern institutions va
yea by the strong arm of Federal pow
er, to their final overthrow.

NATIONAL RESOLUTIONS

On our first page may be found
the resolutions, and in the main,
the proceedings of the Democrat
ic State convention. The follow
ing synopsis ofthem we clip from
the Dubuque Herald:
The enunciation of facts and of prin-
ciples put forth by the Convention chal
lcnge contradic ton and scrutiny. The
fact is declared that all the troubles
in which the country is involved are
traceable to the PRONUNCIATION of the
fantical sentiment that there can be no
peace between the North and South till
Slavery be abolished; yet that the
South should have sought redress of it's
grievances in the Union and through
the Constitution, and not by separation
and rebellion.
That the Democracy will defend the
Union both against Abolitionism and
Secessionism, that it will support the
administration while the Administers
ton respects the Constitution, that
peace is the normal condition Of the I'm
ion, and by peace only can it be pre-
served; that usurpation ofpower by the
executive Or by any officer of the Gov
crnment is intolcrablc rs leading to
despotism; that war will bring upon
the country ruinous. taxation which
should be avoided, and that to avert
threatened and impending calamities
peace should be restored as speedily as
possible, consistent with the honor of
the country and the interests of the
People.
1t is unnecessary for us to say
we heartily endorse these resolu-
tons. If endorsed and acted up
on by the American people as
they should be peace and pros
perity would forever bless our
land.

Wheat harvest is progressing
very rapidly this week. Nearly
all the wheat in the county is
ripe and Of good quality, and
will produce nearly in the aygre-
gate with former years, From
what we can learn, and we have
conversed with a great many of
the best farmers in the county,
the aggregate yield will probably
exceed the amount grown in the
county last year.

SETTLEMENT OF THE TRENT DIFFIcULTY-FA-
voRABLE EFFECT ON THE PUBLIC MINp.-The de-
csion arrived at by the government to restore
Mason, Slidell & Co. to the British authorities
had very marked and favorable effect on the
public mind in this city yesterday. It removed
a load of care from mems spirits, and restored
degree of elasticity which was noticeable in
every department Of trade. The public pulse
beat more evenly than it had done for the last
five or six weeks. The Stock Exchange felt the
influence, and gave evidence Of it in an advance
in the price Of government securities and
general movement in stocks. Even those who
held that the action Of Commodore Wilkes was
legal and justifable felt grstified that the ad-
ministration entertained somewhat different
idea, and that it found mode ofpostponing war
without subjecting the nation to humiliation
and disgrace. Now that this trouble has passed
over, let US look forward with confidence to a
speedy throttling Of the rebellion.

The SKATING SEAsoN.-Christmas has ushered
in the skating carnival and thousands Of those
who take delight in the glorious rush of the
gliding steel over an icy surface are now to
be seen daily in the full enjoyment Of what its
most devoted admirers call the poetry of
motion The ponds in the Central Park, Will
liamsburg, Brooklyn and other places present
scenes of pleasure, gayeiy afa healthtul recre-
alton which are positively refreshing to witness.
There is smile on nearly every face, and joy
seems universal, unless, perhaps at certain
moments when some unlucky novice loses what
is very necessary in skating-his equilibrium
But even accidents of this description if not
serious-and they seldom are--only add to the
general mirth II is pleasant to see young men
and women mingled in gay and swiftly circu-
lating crowd to listen to their laughter, and
watch the skilful movements ofthe accomplished
skater and the timid attempts of unpracticed
feet; but it is luxury to be one of the gliding
throng, and to feel the glow ofhealth which the
exercise imparts. One feels for the time being
more like bird on the wing than sedate

the principal live oak region is now in the

permit any further exports from the North

The INDICTMENT QUAsnED IN THE AFFAIR OF
MASON AND SLDELL.-In this case the Uni
ted States are in the position of plaintiff
and the British government, neutral Pow
er, defendant. The indictment against the
British government is that vessel bearing its
flag violated the laws Of neutrality by carrying
four emissaries of the enemy. There is flaw
in the Indictment and 1t must be quashed but
the offence remains. The merits of the case are
substantially with the American government.
The technicality is in favor of the offender.
The Trent ought to have been taken to port,
and been adjudicated upon by court Of admi-
ralty, instead Of Captain Wilkes making an
adjudication himself, which compromised the
case, by foregoing his right to prize and taking
only the " contrabands," from mistaken deli
cacy and generosity, which could not be ap-
preciated by the obtuse intellect of John Bull.
In this Captain Wilkes acted irregularly, as was
intimated to him by the Secretary of the Navy
He ought to have captured the vessel, and taken
her into port, where she would have been con-
demned Surely the British government and
the owners Of the Trent might have forgiven
this wrong. As it is technically called in law it
was an "error of procedure" which does not
affect the merits of the case; and, though there
fore Mason and Slidell must be discharged on
the ground of the "irregularity' Of the circum-
stances attending their arrest, the guilt Of the
Trent remains unchanged, though unfortunate
ly, from the popularity of maritime law, she
cannot be seized for the offence after the voyage
is performed. In cases Of contraband the YES
sci committing the offence must be taken in the
act, qagrante delicto, and not afterwards. If she
commits an offence Of the same nature in fil-
ture Captain Wilkes, or whatever other officer
Of the United States Navy may arrest her, will
know what to do.

The Settlement OF the Trent Question
The Admirable Attitude OF Our Govern

The Settlement OF the Trent Question-
The Admirable Attitude OF Our Govern.
mcnt.
The important event which, a week ago, we
foreshadowed and vindicated to our readers, is
now matter of history. The ultimatum of
England upon the Trent affair, involving the
restoration Of our rebel emissaries--Mason, Sli-
dell, MacFarland and Eusts-to the protection
of the British flag, has been acceded to, and the
clouds Of a foreign war which were gathering,
flashing and muttering in our eastern horizon
have vanished as suddenly as the mimic thun-
ders and lghtnings Of the stage.
The official correspondence, facts and argu-
ments on both sides are before our readers.
The record Of our government is clear, consist
ent and satisfactory. Mr.. Seward has dis
charged his duty in this matter with eminent
| ability, sagacity, dignity and decorum. In the
very outset, it will be observed, he has antici-
patsd the acquisitions of Earl Russell, recog-
nized the irregularity of the act Of Captain
Wilkes, and opened wide the door to an AMIGA
Bile settlement BY happy and very remarka-
BILE coincidence, it appears that on the very
same day, the 3Oth Of November, while Earl
Russell, in London, was Illuminating his alterna-
tive of war, our Secretary Of State, in Washing
ton, was engaged in preparing for Mr.. Adams
an olive branch of peace. Exasperated by the
highly colored report of the Trent affair made by
Commander Williams, of the Royal Navy, Earl
Russell doubtless experienced some difficulty
In restraining himself within the bounds of
diplomatic equanimity; while Mr.. Seward, with
the report Of the cool, experienced and reliable
Captain Wilkes before him, proceeded to his
task Of conciliation calm as summers morn
