CONSERVATIVE REpunL,c.ys.

,AO4So GNV Ally 16EEunLlC.ANS.
Thur!ow Weed, in the Albany journal
continues his labors to preserve the Union
by compromise and conc iliation Tho fol.
lowing article from late number Of the
Jonrnnl VIC commend to Republicans:
Throughput Tennessee, North Carolina
Louisiana, and several other Southern States
are thousands Of Union men standing in
firmly and nobly against the NADINE S Which
seeks TO involve the whola South il tho
troascn1of South Caroiina.4-Freason into
which Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
have rushed, These men are true patriots;
and they have our highest regard and warm
est sympathy. Their devotion to the
Union is real and praiscworthy. They peri
their fortunes: and perhaps their lives. Our
patriotism costs US nothing. We are merely,
promoting our interests BY doing our duty.
10 sustain such men IS Senator. JOHNSON
and Mr.. Etheridge in Tennessee, Messrs.
Stephens and johnson and Hill Of Georgia.
Mr. Gilncr of North Carolina, Gov. Hicks
and Mr.. Davis of Maryland, we would 20
jusc as far in Cancellation as tho Constitution
permits. TO save the Union and avert the
horrors Of Civil War, We implosa members
Of Congress 70 meet the reasonable propo-
sitions Of the Union men at the Svuth.-
We know how Mtle Of consideration o.,-
previous suggestions have attracted. We
know, too, with how much more favor our
friends in Congress listen to Journals whose
columns abound in appeals to ''Back Bone, -
Pluck" SC, &c, &c. These things are
very we'll in thcr place. but very mische-
viaus out Of place. In discussing question
upon which the Union hangs, and upon
which the welfare of thirty millions Of peo-
pie depends, We will not dismiss the hone
that there arc Union men in Congress from
the North, who can meet the Union men of
the South with fraternaf feelings and in the
discharge Of a common duty, agree upon
terms Of adjustment which will hold border
slave States from disunion. a@a
The cheapest and the thinncst kind Of
patriotism is that, which costs nothing. So,
too, with that species of courage. which ,out
of danger, yapors and swAggers. OF the
army OF Ab0litionists who have for so MANY
years been teaching war and rapine, on
paper, not one Of them ever faced their
enemy. !
So much opposed are the Republican Sem
ators and members to the Crittenden Com
promise that t'iey refuse TO allow Tie people
Of the United States to vote on il, assis pro-
posed BY Mossrs. Crittendcn aud Digler.-
These Republicans know that four fifths Of
the. people would vote for that measure, and
hence they recoil from popular test that
would leave them so vastly in the minority

Intelligence has reached here that prev: Gus
to the passage Of The Georgia ordinance ol
secession. Harrison w. Rulcy, a prominent
citizen of the mountain region Of that State,
proclaimed in another port ton Of Georgia,
that he was onshis way home, and intended
to raise a party to take possession of the U.

government, in case Georgia passed scccs-
sion ordinance. !. His declaration caused
considerable excitement at Mil.cdgeyille,
and the Governor was requested 10 send a

authority as above, we learn that there Is
considerable Union teelingin tbs mountain

meeting was held in Pickens county when
they heard ofthe passage Of the secession
ordinance. The Stars and Stripes were
run up, and the demonstrations OF resistance

WHAT WE AsE FIGHTING FOR.

In the midst Of the general din and wide
spread confusion eDgendered by this war; ',le
question will occasionally steal in upon the pup
Lie mind" What are we fighting for -
In speech delivered on the night OF .no 'a',
of Sumter, by Walker, the Rebel Secretary u
War, in the presence of JEFF. DAVIS anu nis
Cabinet and the Montgomery Congress, NC s''u
that by the frat of the then approaching 0iay'
the Confederate flag should wave over 'no
Capital at Washington, and, unless the Nor'u
would yield to q dissolution Oh ene oi'0"' !"
should yet be planted on Faneril Hall.
This is the slogan of the South: the early 0c-
cupston of the Federal Capital, and, if the loyal
North will not consent to the breaking up of the
most benefcent Government on earth, then the
subjection of all the States above the Potomac
and the Ohio, TO the ideas and the policy and
the men that have so long ruled and cursed all
below those rivers. Whatever . few of the wary
and timd leaders may deem it prudent to at
tempt, their more malignant and daring chief
tains stimulate their ignorant soldiery with the
pledge, that if successful in cOnquering Wash
ingtOn, they will invade the Free States, devss-

them do homage to the doctrines of the Calhoun
school of political ethics. Aud, thus inHamed
with pride, greed, and vengeance, the rank and
file of their army are fanatically intent on car
rying out the Walker programme with fire and
sword.
On TIE part Of the loyal States tbe contest is
waged to preserve the seat Of tho National Gov
erplnent, and all the invaluable archives it con-
tains, from falling iuto tho hands of tho Rebels;
TO uphold the Constitutions; to execute the laws
throughout the entire Union; and, so fer as the
Free States themselves are concerned, to protect
our property aud our fresides, aud maintain our
existence as independent commonwealth and our
liberties as people.
In the prosecution of these objects wo do not
propose to interfere with any Of the peculiar In
stitutious OF the seeded States, unless these IL
stitutiOns are wantonly thrown across the path
way over which the national cause is moving,
when, like other obstacles that interpose between
US aud the patriotic ends we seek to attain, they
will be set aside.
In word we fight for our own and the Ma.
tions life, and for the cause of free institutions
throughout the world. To such work let the
great and patriotic North abounding in wealth
and teemiDg with brave men, freely give heart,
and purse, and arm.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THE REBELS.

A case which has too many parallels has come

the Government to new channels of Rebel ccmmu

who is married to q merchant in Richmond Va,

bassy at Washington, requesting that her letters
be no longer sent via Louisville, but under cover
to Lord Lyons at Washington, which will insure
their prompt delivery. There is ample reason to
believe that the strict neutrality preserved BY
tbs representatives Of ether nations at the Capi-
tol is turned to advantage BY the cunning con-
spirators of the South who have shown them
selves adopts in every art Of fraud and decep-
ton. Cvility wouid prompt Lord Lyons to fulfill
a with which, ia the unfortunate confusion Of the
loyal and false arising from the slow justice OF
the North, might proceed from either section,
and we cannot justly charge him with completely
so. long nc the possibility exists of such wishes
being preferred. 1t is therefore manilestly i'm
usrtant that strict surveillance should be e1er-
csed over every possible avenue of commuIica-
ton, and it seems TO Us, moreover, that loyal
citizens of the North, could not show their ale
glance TO the Government better than by retus-
iag to their relatives at the South the privilege
which, exercised more widely, has already so
mach embarrassed the conduct of the war. This

cum,tances, are favored with passes to their
homes ard friends. A lady (of course ladies are

dance in Iew-Jerdey, to carry letters n. her
trudks, which, to heC honor be it sad, she has
steadily re fused. We have seen that other ladies
have not tbeen 30, conscientious, and need no
further as surance that the Government detectives

ern ladies-tbeir conveyance Of letters 70 their
friends about their persons, and of arms anc am
munition in their trunks, with all their spyicg
expeditions and despicsbls coquetries with loyal
men-it is impossible not to foresee an effect Of
the Rebellion upon society in the South which
threatens profound Generalization in the future.
A whole race of Becky Sharps would not afford
a very cheerful domestic picture. We may con.
graduate ourselves that the loyal children of the
Union are not obliged to be trained in the low
arts of the intriguante, and that the examples
set before them by their mothers and listers are
pure and elevating.
