WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-I learn from 4
gen tleman who bad an interview with Mr..
Lincoln at Springfield, within the past
week, that the latter, in discussing tie ex-
isting state OF affairs, expressed himself as
follows - g. ~. IS.
al will suffer death before | will consent
or advise my friends to consent to any con-
cesson or compromise which looks like buy
ing the privilege of taking possession of the
forts of this Government to which it has q
constitutional right, because whatever [
might think Of the various propositions be-
fore Congress, / should regard any conces-
sion in the face of menace the destruction of
the Government itself, and the consent of all
hands that our system shall be brought
down to level with the existing disorgan
lied state of affairs in Mexico. But thisthing
will hereafter be as it is now in the hands
of the people, and if they desire to call a
convention to remove any grievances com
planned of, or give new guarantees for the
permanence of vested rights, it is not mine
to oppose"
In this conversation Mr.. Lincoln agree
no objection to the border State or Ether
edge propositionsIas future basis of agree
ment, if the Republicans as a party de-
sired it. 2tE 81 1883 4- e

DEATH OF Ex-Gov. LETcHER.-It be-
comes our painful duty to record the death
of Ex-Governor Robert Letcher, who
breathed his last at his residence, in Frank
fort, at eight o'clock on Thursday evening.
His history and character are known to
Kentuckians. He had filled many honor
able positions in public life, commencing
his political career as a member of the State
Legislature, representing his district
through several terms in Congress, occupy
ing the gubernatorial chair and retiring
with the close of his mission 10 Mexico
under Mr.. Fillmore. We have conided in
him as a politician, loved him as a friend,
and will cherish his memory as one OF the
glories of the past.-LouisUHte journal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Senate'S spe-
cial committee on the Tariff bill will re-
port Wednesday. The Morrill, bill after &C
tive investigation is pronounced to be excel
lent in principle and general arrangement.
Nearly two-thirds of the items have already
been examined carefully. No changes of
duties on iron is intended.
Efforts have been made to reduce the duty
on pig iron and steel, but without success.
Woolens are to pay twelve cents per pound
instead OF sixteen, as in the Morrill, bill !;
which conforms to the rates on raw mate
rial. The committee will recommend that
the law go iuto operation on the LIST of
April and the proposed modification of the
warehouse system on the 1st of July all the
duties to be paid within 80 days after being
entered. Merchandise for re-shipment can
be stored six months. 1t is estimated that
this bill will produce revenue of $5S, 900,
600 on average imports. -.rtH
The bill now contains loan for $50, 900,
600, which is intended to cover outstand-
ing Treasury notes. This will be increased
to S25, 100000 in order to provide for OBJ
jects of special Legislation and other items
not included IN MIR. Dixs statement

WASHINGTON, Jan. GA rumor was
rife here to-day, that Gen. Scott had re-
ceived new intelligence relative to designs
on the Capitol by secession invaders, which
causes him much anxiety.
Judge Robinson, who was dispatched to
the Southern States by Virginia to induce
them to keep the peace, telegraphs that il
the Brooklyn be destined for Pensacola his
mission will prove failure.
A dispatch to Senators Crittenden and
Powell says; The Legislature of Kentucky
has appointed. Joshua F. Bell, J. B. Clay,
Mr.. Guthrie, Ex-Governors Morehead and
Wickliffe commissioners to proceed to Wash
ington on the 4th of February.
The Grand Jury has made three present
ments of Ex-Secretary Floyd. First, for
mal-administration in Office. Second, for
completely in the distractions of bonds.
Third; for conspiracy against the govern
ment.

RICHMOND, Jan. 26.-Intelligence has
reached here that previous to the passage Of
the Georgia Ordinance of Secessionr Har-
rison REILLY a prominent citizen of the
mountain region of that State, proclaimed
in another portion of Georgia that he was
on his way home, and intended to raise a
party and take possession of the United
States mint at Dahlonega for the United
States Government in case Georgia passed a
secession ordinance. His declaration caus-
ed considerable excitement in MilIedgeville,
and the Governor was requested to send
military to Dahlonega, but had not done SO
at the date of the advices
On the same authority as above we learn
that there is d considerable union element in
the mountains of Georgia and an anti-se-
cession meeting was held in Pickens county.
When they heard of the passage of the Sc
cession ordinance the old stars and stripes
were run up and the demonstrations of re-
sistance to secession were emphatic and un-
equivocal. The impression however at Mil
ledgeville was, that the people of Georgia
will generally sustain the ordinance of Sc
cession and cooperate in the formation of a
Cotton Republic,

Gen. Denver true to the Union.

Gen James w. Denver closes a letter to
r. NJ Briggs of Amador, with the following
patriotic language:
On this subject | doubt not you feel as !
do. We are both Southern born men, and
would 90 every length that American eitl-
zens ought TO 20 to protect the Southern peo'
pie in their just rights; but they have no
right to ask Us to become traitors to the Con
slilution and flag Of our country. w Nhile IN
Virginia ! acknowledged my obligation to
the la Rs of that State, and the same whlle
in Ohio, Missouri and California; but above
all these | acknowledged fealty TO the Con-
stituton and flag of the L United States, ana on
all occasions have considered their enemies
as my enemies Those who make war on
that flag can be nothing but enemies to the
country Before obtaining Office the Repnb-
cans undoubtedly promulgated doctrines
which were at variance with the spirit If not
the exact letter, of the Constitution; but the
Southern people ought to have waited for
some o6ciat violation of that instrument be-
fore precipitating the country into revolution
and civil war. SO long as there was a chance
for n peaccable settlement Of our troubles
was opposed TO the exercise Of military pow
er, but when the unnecessary attack was
made on Fort Sumter and the South closed
the doors 90 everything Ikea peaceahle SET
tIement, | could no longer hesitate. Right or
wrong, am for my country Politically, |
may differ with those in power, but nothing
will ever induce me to desert my country
flag Our Constitution and flag have been the
pride Of Americans all over the world, and
have lived under them too long to desert
them now, as old age is approaching, and
adopt parody Of the one ora bastard Of the
other. Not for one moment could think Of
going outside of the Constitution for the re-
dress of any grievance.

Henry Clay on Coercion.

We take the following from letter writ
ten by Mr.. Clay to Thomas b. Stevenson, and
dated Ashland, May 18th, 1851. We recon-
mend it to the consideration of those who be.
lieve that our Federal Government should lie
kicked and cufTed by any and every State
which may see fit to go out Of the Union and
grab" all the Government property within
her reach:
"You ask what is to be done if South Caro-
lima seccdes. | answer uEhestatingly, that
the Constitution and laws ofthc United States
must continue to be enforced there, with all
the power of the Union, if necessary. Seces-
sion is treason; and if it were motif it were
legitimate and rghtlul exercise Of power
it would be a virtual dissolution of the Union.
For if one State may sccedc every State may
scccde and how long, in such a state of
things, could We be kept together? Suppose
Kentucky were to secede? Gould the rest of
the Union tolerate foreign power in their
very bosom? There are those who think the
Union must he preserved and kept together
by an exclusive reliance upon love and rea-
son. That is not my opinion | have some
confidence in this in9trumentality; but de-
pend upon it, that no human Government
can exist without the power of applying
force, and the actual application of it in ex-
treme cases. My beliefs that if it should
be applied to South Carolina, in the event of
her secession, she would be speedily reduced
to obedience, and that the Union instead Of
being weakened, would acquire additional
strength"

TIE PoETICAL WoRKs OF SAMUEL WooD-
woRTH.-We have received a beautiful blue
and gold edition of Woodworths poems
from f. A. Woodworth the editor, and a son
Of the poet. They have been published in
this elegant form by Scribncr, of New York,
aud Roman, of San Francisco. The writings
of Woodworth are not now generally lami-
liar TO the public but had a warm place in
the affections and admiration of the last gen
Grafton. They are simple, pure, and varied.
lie sung in almost every key and upon every
theme. One Of his pieces-"The Old Oaken
Bucket has not been suffered to be forgot
ten and the present edition of his poems will
we trust, have the effect to place them all
permanently with our standard American
literature.

STANFORD AHEAD.-At Sacramento on
Thursday, the friends of l.. Stanford, for
Governor, completely triumphed in the Re
publican County Convention. The Third and
Fourth District delegations were admitted,
aided by their own votes and resolutions
adopted recommending Stamford to the State
Convention. The Convention was very
stormy, and if it is an index of the feeling
throughout the State, n Republican nomina-
ton will not be very long stride towards
Gubernatorial honors.
