contradiction to all the acts and principles here tofore of the democratic party, and only one of them can be relied on as- meaning anything which they believe.
 The following are the last three of them:
 RESOLVED, That restoration of good feeling between the inhabitants of our common country, should be, and is, the paramount feeling m every patriotic heart; to that great object should be sacrificed sectional prejudice ana the spirit of partizenship: therefore the Democracy of Con necticut earnestly commend to the-attention of Congress the propositions of the venerable and distinguished Senator from Kentucky; believing that the adoption thereof, or those of similar character, would greatly conduce to harmonlze the opinions of the North and the South, stay the progress of secession and lead to the recon struction of now discovered Union.
 RESOLVED, That the Senators and Representa- tives from Connecticut in the present Congress of the United States, being specially charged by virtue of their office with the duty of protecting and preserving the Union in it's integrity, have utterly failed to meet the requirements of their high position in this time of imminent danger that they have manifested an inexcusable indif- ference to the welfare of the people, by steadily refusing either to present on their own part any proposition looking towards compromise and peace, or to vote for any such offer when pre- scented by others; and have disappointed the just expectations of the people of this State who had hoped that their Representatives would con duct themselves in the present crisis of their country, as statesmen rather than as politicians.
 RESOLVED, That the so called Personal Liberty Bill upon the statute book of this State, adopted under the distinct avowal that it's object was to prevent the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, is violation of one of the provisions of the Con- stitution of the United States, of which our Southern brethren have just right to complain, and that good faith, honor, and patriotism de- mand its repeal.
 The reading of these resolutions, it is said, was received with cheers and demonstrations of joy and enthusiasm. It was natural that they should have been in such a convention, and the ap- plause must have been exquisitely sweet to MT. Bill Eaton, the father of them, who has well been called the father of all lies.
 After the resolutions, MT. Bishop being called for, made speech, and then the talented young Irishman, Mir. Gallagher, the representative ot Brother Peet, and then Hon. W. W. Eaton, Esquire, who made speech "which fairly reused the enthusiasm of the Convention, and brought down cheer after cheer !''
 The Convention then adjourned, according to the Bridgeport Farmer, Gin the best of spirits and with the settled conviction that Connecticut could and would be redeemed on the first Mon- day of April from her present political bond. age."

 MR. L1NcoLN the President elect, left Spring. field, en route for Washington, Monday morning He was accompanied to the depot by large concourse of his fellow -townsmen, to whom ht made brief parting address, expressing his re- grets at leaving them, alluding to the difficult and responsible duties upon which he was abou to enter, and declaring his reliance upon Divin, reached Indianapolis in the evening, where h, was received by an immense crowd of citizens and made few remarks in response to repeated calls, in which he for the first time since hi election adverted to the troubles now apitat;n, the country.
 The President elect left Indianapolis Tuesde, forenoon, at the appointed time, and arrived a Cincinnati in the evening. At every station along the route immense throngs of people wer, collected, who welcomed him in the most cnthu siastic manner. At Cincinnati, where the re ception was almost unparallcd i'm enthusiasm MT. Lincoln made another important speech which was partly aimed at the Kentuckians. 1 THE PEAcE CONFERENCE still sits with closed doors, and but little that occurs during the de 1c oil, I, AL Ex-Presidsnt~Tyler occupies his position as pre- siding officer, and announced his election as . delegate to the State Convention in Virginia which is soon to assemble. lie expressed tn, hope that he should be able to announce to tha Convention that bases of settlement had beer agreed upon. At any rate, he insisted, it is un derstood, that the action of tie Conference should be prompt and decisive.
 | The Peace Conference again adjourned ove, Tuesday, to await the report of the Special Com mittec to whom was submitted the duty of pre- pairing proposition for the settlement of the national difficulties. It is considered probable that this Committee will be ready to make thei, report Wednesday, and it is believed that the re. port will be satisfactory to Q large majority o1 the Convention. The delegasions, however, are much divided in opinion, and it is hardly possi ble yet to form definite idea of what would be likely to satisfy majority. It is considered probable that a National Convention may ulti. mately be decided upon. Ex-President Tyler, il is understood, has advised the Virginia State Convention to adjourn from day to day until the deliberations of the Conference shall have been brought to close, and on no account to adjourn sine de until the present troubles are finally set tied.
 THE HON. JOHN A. ROCKWELL of Norwich, died suddenly ip Washington, D. C., on Monday night; it is supposed of apoplexy. The Tribune's correspondent of Tuesday says of him:-
 G The sudden death of John A. Rockwell has occasioned much painful feeling here where he was we'll known and greatly esteemed He at- tended Dr. Pyne's church on Sunday, and by a strange coincidence heard a sermon in which the subject of sudden death as'much discussed He appeared well during the day. After dinner he smoked cigar, but feeling unwell, called ser want and expired while the servant was gone for physician"
