The News

The news by yesterdays dispatches in

an ugly look War seems to be inevta-

be attacked every hour, and this would
open the ball in earnest, for they will be
defended 10 the last.
In Congress on Thursday, Dir. Seward
presented a monster petition from New
York, with $4,000 signatures, i'll favor OF
the Crittenden Compromise. An interest
ing debate followed, in which Seward,
Mason, Douglas and others took part Dir.
Seward expressed himself opposed to CO
crcion, and in favor of making concessions
to the South.
Indiana, Ohio Missouri and Rhode Is

Ohio delegates were instructed to ask tn,

South Carolina declines 10 send com

Union men at Washington are mnch
encouraged by the prompt response to tie
invitation for commissioners to meet here
on the ith of February, and it is believed
that its action will command the support
of large majority of Congress.
Secretary Dix had instructed cnmmand
ers of revenue cutters, If attacked, to make
the best defence in their power, and if as

vessels ashore and blow them up.
The arprehensions OF An attack on the
Capital are so far verified that the names
of the leaders are known. Gen. Scott an

Lincoln and Concession.

Nothing is more apparent, and becoming
more thoroughly understood 10y the coun-
try, than that one word from Abraham Lin
coin in favor of the Crittenden or border
State proposition to settls the present dh-
fculties of our country, would end them
in ten days. Texas, Tennessee, North "a
roil a. AIkansa-. and all the border slave
Staaes, are day after day impioring the re-
publican leaders at Washington to accept
some reasonable proposition of this sort,
that they may at once arrest the tide OF
secession within their own borders. And
what is the Border State proposition? 1t
is simply to divide the present territory OF
the [. :. between the North arc, South by
the line Of Sc deg SO min, tolcrating
! slavery South of that line, AID prohibiting
it North. from the clamor which the re-
pub!icans raised six years ago, about the
/ repeal Of the Missouri line, one would
think they would gladly now embrace the
opportunity to re establish it. \ ct even
this concession they are unwilling now to
make 70 ssre>tore peace 10 our distracted
country. The republicans at Washing ton,
we are assured would he willing enough
to make the confession. but they are afraid
to take step without being first assured
how it would place them in reference to
Mr.. Lincoln. He will have the offices to
give, and the chances Of preferment for
I themselves or friends depend upon him.
T But Lincoln, every advice from Spring.
/ field assures Us, remains = firm against
concession. The Illinois Jorani speaks
evidently by authority for 3Ir Lincoln
Noticing a statement that Mr. L. favored
the border State proposition, that paper
| says:
Mr. Lincoln has committed himself to
! no compromise whatever, and the whole
I Is canard OF the first water. He has
steadily refused TO accede to the demand
OF those who insisted upon his giving his
. Inaugural in advance. The country may
rest assured that in Abraham Lincoln they
! have Republican Pre-ideIt-one who
will give them a Republican administra-
ton. Mr Lincoln j, ,.st committed 10 the
Border State Compromise, nor to any 9th
en- Hs stunts in.n0raJiy on tie Chicago Prt-
torH, and h. ,rW ncithsr 0cl1Ucsce II, nor c6u,-
SCI his friends to aeq,,;esre l., any compromise
that s,ursasic5< one iat, AZ f.
How long can the republicans fnai"tain
this stubborn, defiant position? suppose
there was tomorrow an election and the
people know as they now know, that all
our political and financial difficulties could
he healed by tIror,rin0 4 silent vote in f.-
vor Of the border state proposition, and
how many would vote against it? See
the result of the special election in the
Adams Senatorial district the other day,
and will not an election soon come when
the pcaF!e can lie heard?

Postnoucmcnt of Tax Collecting.

The exception of La Sale county from
the bill now before the Legislature. to
postpone the collection of taxes has ere
ated quite an apparent breeze, and since
the responsibility for the measure has been
removed from the shoulders of our repre-
sentatives, drive is attempted at the
Board of Supervisors. There is no qucs-
ton but that they are wholly responsible
for the measure, as will be seen by the
communication of Mr. BUSHNELL, in ano-
ther column But really we can see no
reason why they should be alarmed in
view of having all the blame placed upon
their shoulders. The Board understood
the financial condition of the county and
realized better than the people generally
do, the embarrassment and cost which a
postponement of q collection Of taxes
would entail upon our people. They are
men of sense, and understood at q glance
that no doubtful advantage of a temporary
postponement of payment could begin to
compensate for the very serious trouble
such Il measure would bring upon the
, county. oar county orders are already ten
/ to fifteen per cent below par. Put of. the
/ collection of taxes to September and they
would sink to fifty cents on the dollar
! This would double our county expenses
/ School teachers need their pay promptly

No Commissioners to Warrington.

Virginia, in spirit Of peace and trater-
nifty, has invited all the states to send each
five commissioners TO Washington to con-
suit together and devise some plan for
the preservation of the Union of these
States She appointed her own commits
sioners headed by the venerable ex-Presi-
dent Tyler, and including her ablest con-
servatiye men. Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Maryland, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina
and number of other States promptly
responded to the invitation. VIII it be
believed that our own republican governor
and legislature at Springfield utterly re-
fuse to appoint Commissioners TO, Or in
any way to countenance this measure of
peace, conceived in so friendly and frater-
nal spirit? Will the people of Illinois

We are reminded, by some political
ally, the article we recently published
from the pen of Judge Champlin. On
hastily reading it over, our idea Of it, we
are free TO admit, accorded with that of
most persons whom We have heard speak
OF ii, that it took the rank republican
view of the present condition Of the coun-
Try, and advocated COERCION in the broad
ct form as the only remedy. Upon a
more careful perusal, however, we are in
ciined to regard it less harshly Let Us
give syllabus OF the article.
Judge c. sets out with attempting to
prove that the complaints of the southern
people are not of political character.
Whether he has done this or not We will
not stop TO argue but if he succeeded.
then he also succeeded i'll proving what
he was driving at, namely, that their com
plants were of factious and seditious
character. He goes 4 step further, it Is
true, ana intimates that there xre some
moral causes growing out of the peculiar
state of society at the south which help,
to account for their seditiousness. But
here again we shall not stop to dispute
The coercion part, which was to us the
o';ous feature of the article, We confess
looks somewhat different upon q close
examination. Judge &. went evidentl,
upon the idea that If nothing was don,
the Union would be dissolved Wins
then should be done? Not coercion. n,

to uphold the Constitution and laws, ant
their power to do it,; and that this woul,
he the most certain means Of avoiding ,

We infer, from the closing part Of th'
article, that Judge c, would favor the ulte
rior use of the force be would at first DIS

the object; but until he shall be more de
