RESULT OF THE PEACE CONFERENCE -The
proposition finally adopted by the Peace Cou-
gress seems to have been that of Mr..
Franklin-Republican from Pennsylvan a
and gave general satisfaction to all the Com
missioners except those from Virginia. 1t
is thought, however, that it will prove ac-
ceptable to the people of that State Gen.
Scott ordered the firing of 100 guns in
honor of the event.
The following is Mr.. Franklins plan of
settling the territorial question:
In all the present territory of the United
States not embraced by the Cherokee
Treaty, north of the parallel of thirty-six
degrees and thirty minutes of north lati-
tude, involuntary servitude, except in
punishment of crime, is prohibited. In all
the present territory south of that line, the
legal status of persons owing service or la
Dor, as it now exists, shall not be changed
| by law, nor shall the rights arising from
said relation be impaired but the same
shall be subject to judicial cognizance in
| the Federal Courts, according to the com
mon law. When any territory, north or
south of said line, within such boundary
rs Congress may prescribe, shall contain a
population equal to that required tor a
Member of Congress- it shall, if its form of
government be Republican, be admitted
into the Union on an equal footing with
the original States, with or without invol-
untary servitude, as the Constitution OF
such State may provide.
= Virginia is willing to take this-so think
her delegates the incoming ad-
ministration does not attempt to coerce the
seeding States. We should like to have
some Virginia politician-competent to the
task-accurately define what they mean
when they talk about the government at
tempting to coerce seeding States. 1t
might prevent a great deal of misconception
in the Northern States. Some.of our people
imagine that deposition to coercion,
means opposition to an execution of the
laws of the land, kind of carte blanche fo1
anarchy. Such reservations as the tele.
graph reports the Virginians to have made,
are unworthy that great State.

WHAT IS TO BE DoNE-The indications
are that all parties will have to agree to the
call of a National Constitutional Conven-
ton according to the mode prescribed by
the Constitution. This policy will undoubt-
eddy be recommended in Mr.. Lincoln's In
augural. It is the only legitimate way to
go about the business of amending our fun
damental law. This is the right way
There is no other.
Pending which proposition, what has
Mr.. Lincoln, as President, to do. Enforce
the Federal LaacS as he will on Monday
swear to do, and preserve the Union intact
This is the only course he has to follow until
released from this duty by the people, by
their delegates in General Convention as
sembled. He has no option as to his con-
duct. The Constitution lays down his duty
in plain terms, and he is not the man to dis.
obey its requirements.
Secessionists and traitors may as vel
make up their minds to "stand from I'm,
der" After Monday next they will have {
different government to deal with thar

SPRING.-Yesterday was a most delight
full day, so much SO that it resembled in
temperature day in mid-May. "Spring
fever prevailed extensively, and pedestri-
ans sought the shady side of the street.
We noticed that the leaves of rose, snow
ball, and honey-suckle bushes were about
half developed, and that the buds on fruit
trees had began to swell very perceptibly.
The weather was so mild and forward that
fears were expressed that it was premature.
