IL IS insisted on by all parties here that the South
ern ports will be blockaded within q month after
the Inauguration Of the President elect which they
say will turn all the exports Of cotton up thu Mis-
sssippi river to Cairo, thence by the various rail-
roads to be distributed at heavy charges for freight,
to the seaboard.
War is expected TO be the result, but that is not
to interfere with the transportation Of Southern
products through Illinois.
These gentry suppose tho South will starve in
few weeks if they do not sell their cotton: and be-

in earnest in the move she has made but has been
compelled to 60 on in it by the refusal of Lincoln to
give in. If the leading citizens on both sides If

they would that they have interests altogether
adverse TO the plans of the selfish Yankees in
Northern Illinois.
To the Cincinnati Commercial:
SPRINGEIED. January 26.-Sinee the compromise
movement in Congress has been brought to head
by the reports Of the committees the evident anxi-
ETY. Of many Republican members to steer in exact
eongruity with the course Of the future helmsman
of the ship Of State, has again called forth various
efforts to ascertain the views of the President elect
in reference to the propositions awaiting final
action. During the last ihree days, indeed, both

to bear upon the object Of this solicude induce
his cOmnittsl on some Of the measures contempla-
ted in connection with the adjustment of the pre-
sent internal difficulties. But althcugh this is done
by influential parties, I am free to say, that kr.
Lincoln very properly ana determiaedly refuses to
add the momentum of bis opinion, officially express
Ell, TO The Congressional machine. He thinks it
both his duty and his privilege 20 abstain from any
interpOstion in the deliberations Of the National
Council, until he shall BE- duly installed in the
White House. Yet, this disincnatcn to speak
as the President CT the United States in the
premises to the contrary notwithstanding, he
does net hesitate 10 express his opinion on
the subject in question priUGtey, whenever called
upon to do so in proper manner. Hence, without
pretending to speak by special authority, can yet
state positively that he is utterly opposed to Crit
tie denis resolutions; that Bigler's scheme finds 10
more favor with him; that Senator Douglass last
remedy is not relished by him; that he has many
objections to Tom Corwin's report, and that the
Border State propositions alone would receive his
couutenaace, provided constitutional amendment
could be secured conditioning the farther aeQuisi-
ton of territory by the Federal Gcvernment the
consent of two-thirds of the States But believe
that he would even afix his signature to Con-
gressonal enactment, ceming up to these require
ments only in case he should conceive his spprobs
tion 10 be the eoHGitI0 Sine qua Ron-of the peace
harmony and unity Of the country. II may be,
that measure conceding more TO the South would
receive his saction, for the same reason. But in
tina, emergency be would certainly subordinate his
individual preferences and sympthiss to sense Of
supposed duty For the present, haweEer, no signs
Of any such disposition are manifest. He firmly
holds THAI the question hetAer The YiqAt of secession
EXISTS, and tOhsher the Federal Iaos are to Be MAIN
tanned should Be brought % praeca! lest, before the
jusRess necessity aHd praetcabty of concessions aud
compromises is definitely determined upon.
Jan. 2S.-The first draft of the inaugural message
Is now being made by the President elect. The |
Chicago Platform viii be the basis Of its ref sctions
and recommendations in references to Internal af- |
fairs. 1t will no; be finished until after consuIta-
ton with the Republican leaders ct Washington.
COLUMBUS, JAN 2s.-Remarking, the othe= day |
upon sectional differences, Gov. Chase said.-and |
a. liberty to,quote him: 81 AN FIRST FOR THE |
AFTERWARDS FOR ADJUST |
MENT."
The Republican csueus agreed that the Governor
shall appoint COmmissioners-that the conference |
shall not be held until after April 4ih, and express
ly repudiats the principles Of adjustment 10 the /
Virginia resolutions.
There was beautiful contest in the House this |
P. 81. Nigh called up his resolution to appoint |
Commissioners to the Washington Conference.-The |
pet measure Of the conservatives and Democrats. |
Lines we're immediately drawn between the two |
wings of Rspublicans-ParTot and Nigh speaking |
for the conservatives, in favor Of appointing Com
missioners by vote of the General Assembly. The |
speech of the occasion was made by Scott, Of War
rem, who in able and sarcastic address, asssiled
the conservatives and Democracy Uith unmereiful |
severity, ciuehing his arguments with the assertion
that Democratic papers, and the late Democratic /
Convention, had declared that the ectionsl contest
is between the South and the Republicans and that
the latter must do the fighting. Therefore, said |
Scott is plain that if the Republicans to do the
fighting. they and they alone bsve the right to do
the compromising. Speeches equally strCng and
acrimonious were made on the game side by Plants
Hills, and Stesdman, who announced their doctrine
to be, first inauguratioE and afterwards enforce the
laws
X
The fact is pelpsble that the Republicans
are determined there shall be faction, but that
the party shall Re as uuit against the Democrats at
the risk of becoming a minority party.
Nothing of importance was done in the Senate.
Dispatches have been received By Governor Den
nson from The Governsrs Of Massachusetts,, New
York Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois, all re-
delay in appointing Commissioners I'M
Ill after the iDaugurati5n.
The Governor of Pennsylvsnis says there are pc
,uliar reasons for appointing Commissioners in that
State, but he cannot determine till Tomorrow or
Wednesday.
Governor Morgan is not certain whether New
York will appoint for the fourth of February de-
ay to LATER date.
