MONTGOMERY, March 3. 1861.
The Congress of the Confederate States now
in session here comprises the ablest and most
conservative men of the Cotton States. II is
sei lom that men OF such character aud such cali
Der are found Mt the head of a revolution
The prevailing sentiment is an earnest desire
for peace with the United States, and for on
amicable adjustment Of all questions relating to
fortifcatons custom houses, miuts, and all other
national property, upon principles of Justice, and
with entire regard to the obligations of nstional
good faith.
AT the same time there is fixed and imIDoy-
able determination to maintain the permanency
Of the Confederation at all hazards, at whatever
cost, and without sticking at any extremity to
which circumstances may render It necessary to
60 for that purpose.
The propositions Of the Washington Peace
Congress will not even be taken into considera-
ton here; and in no event viii the rule Of Lin
coin be submitted to-
The permanent Constitution OF the Confederacy
is now being elaborated, in order to be submitted
to the Congress and to the States. / am enabled,
features 1t will provide that South Of Kansas
and of Utah Slavery shall be Established beyond
the power of Congress or Of the Northern States
ever to abolish it, or in any way interfere with
the rights it cOniers.
The idea which has prevailed 20 some extent
in South Carolina that only Slave States can be
admitted to the Couiederacy is repndatsd BY the
controlling men, and by the majority Of the Con-
gress. The Constitution will provide for the ad-
mission Of Free States, Of course with suitable
guarantees.
Full powers will be given TO the Congress to
levy duties on imports and exports. The tariff
rec, nty enacted will immediately be amerded,
and will probably be made to impose an export
duty Of one per cent on cotton, tobacco and
rice The duties on most imports will be fixed
as ton per cont, aud these rates will be made to
take effect on January !, 1862.
Meats, breadstufIs, tea, coffee and jewe,ry will
