mr. Hates,

A correspondent Of the CinciEnati Enquirer
writing from st. Louis under date of March I'd, over
the signature Of Anti Secession, says: ss
Many believe in the Conservatism of Lincoln and
his Cabinet but learn Mr.. Balea was heard to saw
before leaving this city that he would die in retakne
the forts IN Charleston (and that he had several sons
who would follow him) before the Government
should abandon them. 1t is well known that Blair,
of this city, is of the same way of thinking Mr..
Lincoln is good father, husband and citizen. bur
his general want of information, his associations
through life and his talents do not qualify him for
this emergency.
Mr.. Seward, though DESTROYS fer peace is a fiexi-
ble yielding man, and if q considerable number of
the fanatical wing Of the party are retained about
Mr.. Lincoln, shall be involved in war within few
months, perhaps weeks Should it occur at ALL it viii
assume proportions beyond any thing previously
known in our history. The military power Of the
South has been underrated The leaders of the
Republican party have flied their followers with
hate, and taught them to believe the North could
crush the South almost without blow. The cool
determination of the Cotton States and their ability
to sustain themselves if assailed is apparent which
almost maddens the Republican leaders.

MARRIAGES IN MAssAcHUsETFs.-The Registration
report records some singular facts connected with
the IL AS marriages in Massachusetts, in 1859 The
great majority of the persons married were between
the sges-of 20 and 80; the average age at marriage
being 2S.4 years for men, and 24.6 for women. Of
the men, however, only l95 were under 90 while
2434 brides were under that age. And Of those
above 80 and under IS, the men numbered l349, but
the women only 7l3. Ii is curious to observe that
of the women married before the age of twenty, 10
were married for tie second tins It appears, how
ever. that less widows than Eidowers were marriedi
the widows married numbering 1888, and the wild
overs 1902. l6 widowers were married fer the
fourth time and for the fifth time widows
were married for the fourth time
The age of the parties married shows some re-
markabe combinations and anomalies. Two yener-
able widowers, each over eighty years Of age ware
married in 1853; also young lady of t,celue 4
girls of 49, of IL, and A of 10 were married-one
of the girls of 3 to of So and the girl of -
10 q husband of 81. One youth of I6 was married
To lady of 81 and one bachelor OF so to lady over
70 whts was then married for the first time!

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Recommendation by the seward.Cerwin
Amendment.

| Recommen dR ton by the SeWardsCerWin
Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1861
The final struggle to-day in the House, was on the
Seward Corwin amendment to the Constitution, pro-
| yiding that no future amendment shall be made
| empowering Congress to abolish interfere in any
State with the domestic relations thereof. 1t was
regarded by the knowing ones az embodying the
wishes OF the incoming Administration, and is rath-
er surprising, under the circumstances that it re-
ceived so small a vote among the Republicans Sixty
i've immovable members sternly recorded their
votes against the measure.
The accurate division Of the Republicans on the
hnal vote Was-foF the amendment 45 against it g.
The passage was effected by two votes or one more
than the necessary twothIrds. The 'irrepressblesn
had three votes the day before, any two of which
would have reversed the result to-day. They were
Messrs. John Covode, of Pennsylvania, Aldrich, of
Minnesota, and Curtis, of Iowa. Covode announced
that he would have voted against the amendment
but had paired of with Democratic member who
was sick Aldrich changed his vote at the last mo-
ment before the result was announced, from mega
tive to affirmative and was much execrated by the
extreme Republicans in consequence. Curtis. the
military gentleman from Iowa, lodged, l. e. did net
vote at ALL although in and about the House all day
1t must be acknowledged that the result is but
barren victory for ''compromise" In point of
absolute fact it is ne compromise at ALL since it
surrenders doctrlna principle held BY any party
although il does affirm principle proclaimed by
all parties. The effect of it. however, will be happy
upon that weaker sort of brethren in both sect
of the country who hold that the country is in con
tinual danger of destruction for want of perpetual
proclamation that the Republicans don't mean to
abolish slavery. There are many good people who
believe that we ought to declare every morning
anew that we are for the Union, the Constitution
and the Laws; though we not thieves, disorgan
izers, assassins that believe in God and don't
intend 70 kick up fuss and destroy the universe in
general and our country In particular. To this |
pretty large class Of people, the passage of this
amendment will do good, by way Of relieving their
anxious feelings. And it is remarkable that so OBJ
vous and just an expression of the real position
maintained by the Republicans should not have
commanded quite half of the vote of the party in the
House of Representatives, especially when It repre-
scented the sentiment Of the incoming administration
is perhaps be mainly attributed to the vigorous
and relentless preaching of the MISUNDERSTANDING
doctrine of such organs of pub
lie opinion as the New York Tribune and its name
sake at Chicago. But what concession is there in
it. after all
