Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1861-02-15
W1sHlEeroS, Feb. 10


lt has been given out N al the papers that
the Committee OF the Peace Conferences would
agree on a report, and itwould be submitted
io-day. But q Missoud Commissioner de-
clared this morning not only that they would
not report to-day, but there was no prospect
that they would sgres upon any basis Of ad-
iustment at all. Msssrs. Guthrie and Tyler,
on the part Of the Kentucky and vi ginia
Commissioners, waited on the President yes
terday, with q view to ascertain the position
OF the Government ss to the ioree question,
coercion, &c. Especially they asked that
since the ground had been taken in Holts
last communication to Col HaYne, that the
Government WIS holding FortS Sumter 70 pro-
tect Charleston ard Charleston commerce, the
Government would listen to South Csrolina's
request TO WitbdraE- -tha- eAEEiaon, because
rney did not ask nor want protection AZ the
hands Of the Federal Government.
The President firmly declined, They in
formed him that any attempt to bold Sumter
by force, OF to retake any other Fort would
unite the whole South. They also profess to
be sure Of two Northern States that will
uake common cause with the South when
coercion comes (3).
The seSessionists here pretend that Major
Anderson snd Lieut.. Meade, both at Fort
Sumter, will throw up their commissions the
moment their States, Kentucky and Virginia,
sseede.
THE ETFEcT OF NR. LNcoLz's EDIAEAPoLIs
sPEsoz
What Is called the manifesto Of Wr. Lin
coin Ct Indianapolis, creates most intense ex-
element here. Il is received in all sorts Of
ways, according 70 the Gntecsdsnt opinion Of
men. The straight Republicans hail it as q
sound, manly, and statesman-liks appeal 70
the sober sense OF the people in behalf Of the
integrity OF the Government, and The union
Of the ns.ion. The Pennsylvsnians and mod
crate Republicans are afraid lest it tend to
close the door to reconciliation.

GEN. sACKsoxs RENEDY By HEAP.
A prominent gentleman in this State told
me, on unquestonable authority, reminis-
cence Of the days OF Notification. It seems
that Gov. Letther OF Kentucky, who sympa-
Ihi1ed with the nullifers in 1882, called upon
Gen. Jackson 70 learn, Il possible, Whit the
General intended 70 do toward crushing Cal
nouns conspiracy against the Union. The
Governor opened the SUBJECT mildly, and
jackson only answered by telling Letcher to
read q certain instrument of writing on the
table before them. Letcher read it, and found
it to be a varrsnt for the execution Of John
o. Calhoun. aBut, my dear General, you
ion't intend TO carry out what this pspel
calls for 2" 'sGoT. Letcher, is my nam'
signed to that paper2" ayes, General, it is. ,
Every well, Governor, It is very seldom that
sign papers merely for eject. Governor
/ look on the left corner Of the paper is th'
seal Of the United States to it2' "It Is
General Gov. Letcher visited Mr.. Calhoun
after be left Gen. jackson, and awakening
him up out Of his sleep, related to him hi
interview with Jackson. Gov. Letcher al
legged that Mr.. Calhoun assumed the appear
ance Of q ghost when he heard what Gen
Jackson intended to do, snd Notification los
all its venom from that hour. Gen. jackson
SAID on bis death bed that be had only on
thing 70 regret, and that was that he had no
hung John c. Calhoun. fL
