The Critteuden-Bigler Propositions.

The propositions Of Senators Crittendeh
and Bigler. which were introducea INV
the Councils at Washington some SIX
weeks ago, for the purpose OF ailaying 'he
nre.eot excitement which agilates our
country. have we believe been defeated
three OF four times in Congress. Bul TINS
docs no, seem 10 be he sentiment OF the
country. During the pas: week mum
ber of Railroad officers and Directors as
sembled at Washington, and passed this
proposition unanimously, and immediate
" furnished copy of their proceedings
TO both Houses and 10 the President, who
remarked to them that the future peace OF
the country was now lodged with Con-
gress.
This convention represented capital ex'
ceeding three hundred millions OF dol
lars hence the potency of their voice.
The Senate of New Jersey has also pas
sed this proposition, by yeas II, nays o.
10 Democrats and one Union man voting
for Il, and every Black Republican voting
against it.
We SEQ by our exchanges that the pas
sage cf this proposition is called for every.
where b. the people, bu. opposed to
man by the Abolition wing of the Black
Republican party, whose cry Of coercion
and the enforcement OF laws is only adop-
ted as a preteAt to bring about o bloody
revolution rs speedily as possible; when
they would at once proceed to satisfy
their jackall, or hyeIa appetites, upon the
fragments of their neighbors and fellow
coun.rymen.
These hireling traitors in the North
with their allies in the South, have been
plotting treason against our country for
the last thirty years, and as Mr.. Wilm ot,
said when lie left the Democratic party,
that lie was now going to Join the party
that would send the country TO Hi the
quickest. This is undoubtedly the feel.
ing. and wish. of large number of the
Black Republican party as we'll rs also
heir co.laborers and allies in the South, ,
he disunionists.
The t inc has now arrived when a bold
stand must lie made by the populace
!hese hireIing demagogues must be suffo-
'ated, either by y halter or the Immacu-
ate voice Of the people; aud we are glad
@ know that one Of these remedies will
oon bc adopted. 1t is impossible for
hem 10 avert it much longer.
1t is now a we'll ascertained fact that if
congress would adopt the Crttenden. Big.
er proposition, all the central slave States
'ould also adopt IT, and majority of the
,eople in the gulf States would be found .
o ratify it but as there are just enough =,
i traitors in Congress TO defeat every
,eace proposition that may be submitted,
We know not what the end will be.

PoLrTIcAL CLERGyMEN The following is
an extrac. from speech made in Con
gress, in ls5+' by that venerable states
man, Thomas II. Benton. The speech
nas delivered about the time the three
thousand New England Clergymcn at
tempted to overrawe the country with
patent Christianity:
slave ry never ceased anywhere on a
principle of religion the religion of all
nations consecrates it. It's abolition can.
rot bo enforced among Christians on that
ground, without reproaching the founder
CT their religion. Many who think til EN-
selves Christians are now engaged IN
preaching against it, but they had better
ascertain whether they have fulfilled the
pieespts Of Christ before they assume
moral supefioriiy over him and unders
take to do what lie did not, TO the poli-
ticians who are engaged in the same nccu
patton it is needless to give the like ad-
moni,ion. They have their views and the
success of these would be poorly promo
ted by following the rrecepts Of tie Cos
pei. Their kingdom is of this world, and
to reach il they will do the things they
ought no., and leave undone the things
which they ought TO DO. Slavery will
cease, in the course Of some generations,
in several of the States where il now ex-
lists, and cease upon the same principles
cp which it has disappeared elsewhere"

Popular Feeling Against The Cabinet.
The New York Herald saws that
during last week the Republicans
held caucus meetings in various Sec.
tions Of that city, at which the late
disaster on the Potomac was discuss
ed, and the most bitter expressions Of
indignation uttered against the Cabi,
net for permitting the army to fall in.
to the rebel trap at Manassas June
ton. A change Of the Cabiuet was
also freely discussed, and the result
CT the deliberations, at these various
meetings, was the adoption ofthe fol-
lowing programme Tor a new Cabinet:
N. z. Banks, Secretary of State.
John 9. Fremont, Secretary of
War.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Secretary Of
the Navy.
Joseph Holt, Attorney General.
These are the principle names in
the proposed change. We apprehend
however, Mr.. Lincoln would, in case
a change was determined on, recon.
struct the Cabinet to suit himself, in
stead Of allowing The Republican pol.
iticians of New York to do it for him.
One thing is very clear, that the de-
mand among the Republicans for an
entire change Of the Cabinet, is very
general and we should not wonder
to see the demand gratified. The
public mind will have somebody pun
ished for the late disaster, and the
Cabinet seems to be the most availa.
bic fer that object, and we doubt not
tho most deserving of punishment.-
