tSE- One of the faIlacies upon which the Repub-
leans base their opposition to a compromise is the
suggestion that to recognize slavery in the Terrific
ries South Of ace so> is to nationallze IT, We can
not see how slavery can be more thoroughly ma
tionalizsd than it is by its recognition and endorse
ment by the Constitution under which we hold our
rights. There is no, to be found in that instrument
one single provision discriminating between Sec
tions and every clause has direct reference to the
whole people and every right it confers is national
md none less than the right to hold slaves rs
property. The amendment of the Contitution de-
manded by the South, engn,fts upon il no new fea-
ture, and amounts to nothing more than clear
explanation Of its meaning necessity growing
out of misconstruction of that meaning by hair
splitting fanatics. If slavery be national now
and no man of common sense will deny 1.-THE eff
feet of the Crittenden amendment win be to
sectionalse 1t by making the Constitution declare
that 1t shall not exist North Of certain parallel of
latitude. If, then the Republicans really wish to
denationalize slavery, they ought to advocate the
Crit.enden amendment which will have the effect to
sectionalize that which is now undoubtedly nation
al In this way they can ease their delicate con-
sciences, and at the same time, do justice to the
South and save the Union.

evil" it is certainly he mainspring Of all military
movement, and the want Of thatmotive power may
prevent any attempt al coercion even II Lincoln be
foolish enough to contemplate such measure
With debt Of nearly one hundred millions an in-
sufficient revenae, and severed Union, not much
can he raised by loans, and to 6ght credit is
game that the people viii not long play at. Be
Sides the secession Of the Gulf States has not re-
moved all the rogues who depredate upon the pub
lie Treasury, and this is triling item when caleu-
lating the resources Of the Government at Washing
ton.

RAJ Mr., Spratt Of South Carolina, in a four
hours speech denounced the Southern Congress for
its condemnation Of the slave-tmde, and declared
that if that act be not repealed the entire object of
the seceders will have failed IL the object of soces-
sion be to egalizo the savetradc the border States
can have no sympathy with the movements and If
such be the object of the Cuff States it is clear that
they have declared against the savetrado as stroke
of policy-fcariug that different course will null
tiply the difficulties in the way of building up their
new government, and intending to reverse their ac-
ton whenever it may be deemed safe TO do SO. II
this be their policy, Mr.. SpUtt and Others are not
posted, and are making an injudicious expose Of
their private opinions

On Thursday night, after he had retired, Mr.. Lin
coln was aroused and informed that stranger de-
sired to see him in matter of life or death. He
decided not to admit him unless he gave his name
which he at once did Such prestige did the name car
nv, that while Mr.. Lincoln was yet dsrobed, he
granted an interview to the caller,
prolonged conversation ELECTED the fact that
an organized body Of men had determined that Mr..
Lincoln should not he inaugurated; that he should
never leave the city Of Baltimore alive II indeed he
ever entered it.
The list Of names Of conspritors presented a most
astonishing array of persons high in Southern conf
dcnce ana some whose fame is not to this country

adventures were to carry it into effect AS
they understood Mr. Lincoln was 10 leave Har-
rsburg at nine o'clock this morning by special train
from the road At some point where they could rush
down a steep cmbauknent and destroy in moment
tho lives of all on board. In case OF failure OF
this project their plan was 10 surround the
carriage on the way from depot to depot in Bal
timore, and assassinate him with dagger or pistol
shot So authentic was the source through which
tho information was obtained, that Mr., Lincoln af.
ter counseling with his friends, was enabled him
to subvert the plans Of his enemies Greatly TO the
annoyance Of thousands who desired to call on him
last night he declined 10 give q reception,
The final council was held at eight o clock, Mr..
Lincoln did not want 10 yield, and Colonel sumner
actually crei with indignation; bat Mrs. Lincoln,
seconded by Mr.. Judd aud Mr. Lincoln oringinal
informant insisted upon IT, and at nine o'clock Mr.,
Lincoln LEFT in a special train, He wore a Scotch
plaid and very longed military cloak, so that he
was entirely uurecognizable Accompanied by SUI

BlzA- The Louisville Courier says that a Confer
ference of all the Southern States and demand by
that conference of all our rights, would probably
have settled the difficulty, and that such course
would have been adopted but for the opposition of
the submissionists Now we had supposed the fact
was universally known, that the Union men, all
over the South, were co-operationists, and urged
that measure as the surest-if not the only--mesns
by which adjustment could be secured. This is
undoubtedly true, and it is equally true that the
immediate secessionists spurned the proposition, and
not because they believed it would not result in
settlement, but because thev feared il would And
1t was this actious opposition to wise policy, and
the determination of the sccessionsts to break up
the Union at all hazards that served to eradicate
much of that sympathy at first felt by the border
States for their more Southern sisters. Co-opera-
ton would have carried all the Southern States ont
together, or have procured guarantees of the most
satisfactory character; but fearing this latter re-
suit, South Carolina grossly insulted those who
proposed cooperation, and FASTENED to secede in Or
der to induce others to do likewise The history of
this deplorabe sectional struggle atess the truth of
our statements; and we honestly believe that
courteous department, on the part of South Carroll
ma, towards the border States and show of dscre-
ton in her movements would have led to the Sc
cesson Of three at least of the border States, be-
fore this tune. But her conduct proved that no set
tlement would DO accepted by her, and this cut off
following such leader.

AeN.. The supposed necessity which drove Abe,
Lincoln to disguise himself aud make his ontree
into Washington in the most private manner, has,
SO far done him no harm; on the contrary, it has
done him much good by making him keep his mouth
shut, from Harrisburg to Washington, We do not
know whether there was any cause to Gpprehend
mob violence and have given in another place,
both versions Of the story. So many tricks arc
resorted to to excite the popular mind that it is diff
fioult to arrive at the truth in relation to any oc-
currence that may have political bearing,

ASA- Lincoln's puerile, senseless speeches, are
having their effect upon his party--many of whom
are beginning to fear that "honest old Abe" is a
fool and there can be question that he is unless
he is holding back for bite" Our country is
bitterly cursed by the passing of the government
out of the hands of knave into those of fool
and there is but one consoling reflection left us
that is that the knave has left no money in the
Treasury with which the fool can do mischief

he entered office. He held the place about three
years and six months. From his savings he shipped
by Adams Express to his home in Virginia, one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars. This is an
extraordinary example of thrift and economy.
