Correspondence Of the journal and statesinau.
WASHINGTON, january 80. 1861

WAsniNoroN, January 80, 1861.
The question OF putting an eDd to existing
difficulties has been 50 long under consideration
in Congress, without etfecting any good result
that it has become pretty much of a bore to the
people II, however still hangs on, aud the two
branches spend most Of their time either in dis
GUESSING the report Of the crisis committee, or re-
eeising petitions from various sections Of the
country in favor Of peaceable adjustment Of
aiIaits. On Monday, the President sent in
message, transmitting the resolutions of the
Vrgnn Legislature, with regard TO a Conren-
ton which is to assemble on tue 18th Of February
next, in this city, to arrange plan which is to
be panAcea for all our ills. As an Offset To
this, Senator Ilemphil of Texas, the same ,lny
RECALLED the Senate with filming secession
speech. In the House again us an antidote for
the Texnn's harungue, Mr. Rice presented the
great petition from Boston--wiih $4,000 sigma
tures-asking Il peaceful adjustment of our
disturbed relations 1t was wrapped in the
American flag, and created much enthusiasm. Il
was ordered to be printed, To-day strong
committee presented through Mr. Bigler the
proceedings OF u mass meeting of the working
men of Philadelphia in favor OF passing the
Criltenden compromise. But it will be sometime
before peace is restored, it no more tRectual
measures are employed, than wasting time in
debating compromise.
Houses of Congress and received the signature
of the President. Kansas therefore forms an
other star in the constellation. Her Represeu-
taiive, Martin F Conway, took the oath Of office
to-day, and took his seat, 1t is to be hoped
that this will Put an end to the troubles which
have so long disturbed Kansas.
The Pacific Railroad bill having been compile
ted, passed the Senate to-day yeas 81, nays ii.
Messrs. Bayard and Salisbury, of Delaware,
both voting in the negative. II is believed that
Mr. Buchanan will sign the bill. aud that this
great national improvement will soon he com
meuccl. The amendments of the Senate, how.
ever, have to be c0ncurred in by the House. but
the friends OF the measure have full confidence
that it will meet with favor in that body,
bill is now under consideration in tue Sen
ate creating temporary government for the
Territory of Jefferson, the name of which was
to-day changed to Idaho. We may expect in a
short time to welcome tho sovereign State Of
Idaho.
The Tariff hill will he reported on Friday by
the select committee Of the Senate. 1t is Mr..
Morrills bill somewhat altered. The warohous
ing system is amended so as to allow goods to be
in store for three months Instead of thirty days
before the duties nre paid. They can remain six
months thereafter, aud when taken out for ex.
p0rtatOn the duties are refunded.
Gen. Scott has now concentrated here suili-
cieut number Of troops to put down any aud all
attempts which can be made to disturb the
peace.
Yours, CYNOsuRE.

Of African Slavery.
9th. Reioiued That inasmuch as the oath Of
office wherein the officer pledges himself before
God, to maintain and defend the Constitution, is
a mere form of words, every officer is bound to
secede with his State, unless he shall be foreign
born (he may 60 where he peascs,) and on the
restoration Of peace, no detrimCnt or loss Of
honor shall accrue, but such seeding officer
shall be restored to his former rank and pay as
an officer Of the Union.
9Th. Resolved, That the seeding State or
States shall have the right to add any resolves
that may please them to these RESOLVES,

What have been the specific criminal acts of
the Northern free States which are now pleaded
by the Southern slave States in Justification of
this open rebellion against their voluntarily CON
stituted authoridesy The North has carried
Abraham Lincoln's election but then he does
not come into power until the 18th OF March next
Oh, but we Hre told, in many Of the States, fugi.
tives "held to service and 10 labor" have been
claimed, but in none of them has the State go-
vernment complied with the stipulation on this
subject made in the Constitution but how does
tho supposed derelicton of individual Smte gu
yernments duplicate the Federal Government of
tho Uniong Whatever may have been the views
and course of policy pursued by particular States,
the Government at Washington has never yet
pronounced against slavery.
Even Abraham Lincoln, ,he President elect,
is not prepared to deny the rights of the South.
Moreover, there is still Congressional majority
in favor OF Southern views even in their extremest
entirety In truth, il is not even pretended that
any overt act has been perpetrated which has ne
cesstated the separation of the slave States; hut
it is equally clear that the slave owners have be.
come convinced that the truth has prevailed
against them, and they only anticipate the prac-
( teal consequences of their moral defect; and,
taking time by the forelock, they have resolved.
under the protection of Mr.. Buchnnan's policy to
take immediate steps to strengthen themselves
for resistance TO the legitimate authority Of the
approaching regime of Mr.. Lincoln.
What will it end in Who will undertake to
ioretell2 One thing, at least, is certain, The
present President will do nothing 10 check the
separationists. We could almost wish, in the III
terest of the poor slaves, Tint the Southern States
might proceed to extremities, and fairly chal-
leDge the undoubted might of Abraham Lincoln
y and the free States The doom of slavery were
then certainly and speedily accomplished. In
| any view we have perfect confidence as Ia tho
ultimate result. Man shall nc, longer be he'll in
scrvile bondage to his equal The stain which
has hitherto blurred the cscutsh OF our trans
atlantic kinsmen shall be finally swept away
We hail the latest news MS the most hopeful
symptoms which have yet been developed in the
progress Of what We believe to be really "the
irrepressible conflict"

THE NEWS

BY the arrival at New York Of the steamer
Etna from Europe, VIC have later news. The
British Court Of Queens Bench, at the instance
Of the British Anti-slavery Society, had granted
a writ Of habus corpus in the Toronto fugitive
slave ease. 1t is stated that several rihed can
non had been shipped OF Liverpool for Charles
ton. The weather had been quite severe
throughout Europe. The Paris Monitsw an
nounccs the withdrawal Of the French squadron
from Gaeta. Count Montemoln and his wife
are both dead. 1t is reported that a Congress
will meet at Paris to settle the Italian question.
The financial crisis in France continued unatat-
cd, and il was rumored that the Bank Of France
would suspend specie payments, and advance
the minimum Of discounts. Foreign journals
are to be allowed free circulation in France.
We have later news by the Bohemian, which
arrived at Portland, on Wednesday. 1t is OK
pected that an imperial decree will socn appear
that if Piedmont mukcs war on Austria she need
expect no assistance from France. Great mill
tary preparations arc in progress. The Spanish
government has issued instructions to the COM
mander Of the fleet to keep strict neutrality At
0aeta. The bombartlmept of Gaeta was TO have
been resumed on Monday, the 2lst ult. 1t is
not true that the ships Of any foreign Powers
will take the place of the French feet. The
sardinians have resolved to attack G6eta by sea
Immediately. The London Times depreciates
the secession movements in America, and gayl
that, should the southern confederation beeomt
the real United States, so far as the present ant
prospective territory is eoacerned, it is doubtful
whether the connection between New York ant
New England on the one hand, and Illinois au,
New England GU the other hand, could long sur
viye total separation from the south.
Nissouri seems 10 he strong for the Union
