We learn from the most trustworthy authority
at Washington that the soundest and dscreetest
Republicans at the Capital deeply regret that any
steps are being taken to send delegates from the
Free States, and especially from New-York, to
the Convention of the Border States which is
called to meet in that city on the 18th of Febru-
ary on the grounds that the measure originated
in an ultra PrO-Slayery quarter; is intended to
subserve exclusively Southern interests rather than
preserve the Union; that, owing to the inevitable
materials of which the Convention will be COM
posed, it will result in presenting to Congress as
an utimatum the passage of the Crittenden reso-
lutons or something equivalent thereto which
that body cannot adopt; and thus, the action of
this Convention instead of harmOnizing clashing
sections, calming the public mind, and inducing
the border Slave States to remain loyal to the
Constitution, will only tend to increase present
difficulties, and TO afford to the Secessionists OF
those States another pretext for carrying into
effect their longcherished purpose of breaking up
the Union. We submit to the Republicans OF
our Legislature whether it is wise to still further
complcate existing embarrassments By sending
| delegates to that Convention Is New-York also
| q border State ?"

We have positive information from Washington
that Compromise, on the basis of Mr.. Critten'
den's, is sure to be carried through Congress
either this week or the next provided reryJ ec
more Republicans can be got to enlist in the en-
terprise. We say O very few more, for we nave
reason to believe that several gentlemen, who
have hitherto enjoyed the confidence Of the Re
publican party are actively engaged in the en-
deayor to convert their colleagues to their new
faith. In this Compromise the most offensive
features of Mr.. Crittenden's proposition will be
somewhat modified; though if we should hear
within day or two that a few more cannon
were planted on the Mississippi, or that the flag
Of the country had anew been insulted by some
armed mob of rebels or better yet, that Fort
pckens had been attacked and its garrison
slaughtered, we might then expect concessions
even more humiliating than those now to be
forced upon us by the aid Of Northern votes in
both Houses. But even yet it may not be too
late. Let the People anew and more earnestly
warn their Representatives not to betray their
trust. Let them write letters, and send dsputa-
tons and memorials to Washington. Thus they
may prevent the contemplated sacrifice, and still
prove to the world that the election Of Nov. d
NOT only meant something, but that the fr@men
of the country mean to stand by it

or this manufacturing interests Of the hour. But
what il demanded By the national Character and
position bsfofe the world; what is demanded by
the lasting interests of the thirty millions that
now inhabit the country, and the hundreds OF
millions hereafteg 10 inhabit it; what is demand
ed by the great laws of national development,
national prosperity, and national safety
When every consideration shall have been fuDy
taken into the account, il WI, we suppose, be
found at the last that it is SUBSTANTIALLY only
question of whether the Federal Constitution ana
Government shah be destroyed, or whether the
Slave Power shall be broken. SlsvbV Is ether
now to receive its death-wound, or B 10
spring into new life and vigor. The rcAeiion Is
in the interest Of Slavery is for Slavery, ana iS
for nothing else. If the Government succn noS'
it succumbs to the shareholders. If it succo@-
fully ressts the rebellion, it does it in the nterc"
of Freedom, and then the rule of the savehoid-
ers is broken. In this event, we shall
have no more secessiOn-n0 more attempts ut
breaking up the Government in the future The
experiment will have been tried sufficiently.
There will be no temptation to try it over
again, however great the provocation. But, if the
rebellion is successful, it. will prove to be only
the first of series, that will finally end in the
destruction of the Government of the remaining
States. 1t will demonstrate the weakness Of our
system, and encourage repetitiOns Of the attempt
whenever disappointed political ambition shall be
strong enough to marshal formidable force. until
from one end of the country to the other all will
be disntegratOn and anarchy.
These considerations do not necessarily ex-
clude the idea of an eIcision of some of the
Slavcholding States. The Federal Government, if
it controls events, may settle this matter as it
likes, after the rebellion ia conquered.

We print to-day a full report of the recent
speech made at Washington by Cassius N.
Clay Of Kentucky. To the greater part of Mr..
Clay's statements and arguments We yield cor
dial assent and sympathy. But we regret ex-
ceedingly that the reliance which We have been
wont to place on the courage and frmness of
the Kentuckian, was not well founded, and that
in this greatest and last of the struggles
between Freedom and Slavery he yields
and gives way, and inclines to compromise. Com
promise we are sick of the word. 1t means
neither more nor less than cowsrdly submission
to rebels and traitors If concessions are to be
made, let them be made by the South, which is
wholly and utterly in the wrong, and not by the
North, which stands, as it has always stood, upon
the firm platform of the Union, the Constitution,
and the Laws.

The House yesterday passed the Senate bill for
fbe admission of Kansas, which thus becomes the
thirty fourth State Of the Union, and the nine
4eenth Free State. This act not only opportunely
adds to the Confederation a sound and loyal
member, untainted by the pestiferous blight of
Slavery, but does rightful though tardy justice to
State which has suffered for five years greater
wrongs and outrages from Federal authority than
MI the Slave States together have endured since
1he beginning Of the Government, even if their
own clamor about imaginary oppression be ad-
united as well founded. The present generation
is too near to these events to see them in their
true proportions, but in the future, in impartial
history, the attempt to force Slavery upon Kan
sas, and the violations Of law of order, and of
personal and political rights, that were perpetra-
ted in that attempt, win rank among the most
outrageous and fragrant acts Of tyranny in the
sunals Of mankind.

We quote from private letter Of q distin-
gushed statesman the following succinct and for
chile statement of the policy which should now be
pursued by all friends of the incoming National
Administration:
"No propositions from Republicans until Repnbli-
cans by the Inauguration of Mr. Lincoln placed in
position TO command respect for their propositions.
Then such perfect fairness and such unquesonablc
generosity will reconcile all but predetermined tra
tors; for whom other measures
To the same tenor is the following statement of
language said to have been lately used by Mr..
Lincoln TO q gentleman who was visiting him at
cOrrect
81 will suffer death before will consent or advise
my friends to consent to any concession compromise
which looks like buying the privilege of taking posses
sion of the Government to which we have a consttu-
tional right; because whatever might think OF the
merit of the various propositions before Congress-
should regard any concession in the face Of the
destruction Of the Government ITSELF and consent on
all hands that our system shall be brought down to a
level with the existing disorganzed state Of affairs in
Mexico But this thing will hereafter be it il now
in the hands of the people, and if they desire TO call
Convention to remove any grievances complained Of
or to give new guarantees for the permanence OF vested
rights, it il not mine to oppose"
Both of these quotations will find a response
in the hearts of the People. We commend them
to the consideration of those Republicans who
are ready to court the fate which has 80 often
Overtaken the COmprOmisers Of the Slavery ques-
ton, and who, holder than their predecessors in
the same line, seem actually willing to compro-
mise with Treason ITSELF

The President has sent to Congress another
Message, communicating the offer of mediation
made to the Government by Virginia through
ex-President Tyler. Mr.. Buchanan is confident
and hopeful, and does not despair of the Repub-
lie. He promises to make no aggression on the
seeding States, but very properly declares that
he must protect and defend the public property.

Our Washington correspondent telegraphs To
us that /" after much hesitation and delay
" arrangements were made to-day for the pro-
lection of Washington, which will insure it
against any probable danger from conspiracy
within or invasion without" While reading
these encouraging sentences we breathed
more freely, at the assurance of the preserva-
ton of the National Capital from the hands of
rebels and plunderers. We pictured to ourselves
General Scott at the head of force worthy Of
his command and fit TO guard the central seat of
great and mighty nation in its hour of most i'm
minent peril. But we read on: Another COM
"pany of light artillery will be brought here TO-
morrow from Fort McHenry" Another COM
pany In this crisis not only companies but
regiments should be on duty at the Federal Me-
tropOlis. The national history is already stained
with one disgraceful abandonment Of Washington
to the enemy from want of energy and fore
thought on the part of the Federal authorities,
and we now seem menaced by another catas-
trophe of the kind. The scale Of the prepare
tons for defense there seems more like those
of some petty German principally than like
those Of one of the first powers of the earth. A
few weeks ago il was announced that in appre-
hension Of an outbreak, the police force of the
Capitol had been doubled and everything there
fore was secure. On inquiry we learned that
the original force thus formidnbly augmented
consisted Of twelve mem We can easily

Mr.. Iyerson of Georgia yesterday took pa
thetic farewell Of the Senate, and went, it is to
be devouty hoped, heyer to return. Before going,
be threatened terribly what Georgia would do in
case of war. "You may possibly overrun us, des-
" olate our fresides, burn our dwellings, lay our
" cities in ruins, murder our people, and reduce
"us to beggary" exclaimed the intrepid Iverson,
"but YOU cannot subdue and subjugate us to
"your WILL" "You may whip us, but we will
" not stay whipped, he continues, in language
worthy of Mrs. Stoves bred. '"We will rise
Z" again and again to yindicate our rights and
Liberty, and to throw off your oppressive and
" accursed yoke, and We will never cease the
&" strife until our whole white race is extin-
"guished, and our fair land given over to desc
"lation" Two things will strike the observer as
noteworthy in this speech. One is, that Mr..
Iyerson Gays rights and liberty" when he
means rights and Slavery" and the other is,
that his tone is precisely that of bully who is
frightened out of his senses The truth is, the
shareholders are nearly insane with mingled rage
and terror at the scrape. into which they have
got themselves.

his mother. In the Council Chamber, large
amount of routine business was transacted, and
reports as to the personnel of certain Depart
ments were received in response to the inquiry
instituted by the Board. Two vetoes from the
Mayor, to the Aldermen, were not acted upon.
One of them negatived the proposition to investi-
gate the present inefficient system of giving pub
hcity to the acts of the Corporation, because his
Honor did not think it worth while to investi-
gate what every member knew all about now.
The other veto was against the appointment of q
Committee to revise the City Charter and sug-
gest amendments to the Registry law. He as
serts that the Legislature will not grant the City
her just claims, wherefore it is useless to at
tempt to obtain them; and as for the Registry
law, which he says "was devised for the pur-
"pose of depriving the laboring population OF
their votes" he is utterly opposed to it in
every particular, and "no amendment, short
&" of its abrogaton, would meet his approval.

THE JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT.

Of the nation, there is serious danger that
although the rebellion be put down the
nation will be exIinguished.
This article, coming from SO able and
influential source. is entitled 10 more
than ordinary consideration. 1t shows
this alarming state of facts that, with
the "neutrality" Unionists Of Kentucky,
whom the journal represents, conserva-
tism and devotion to Slavery are one and
the same thing that they are SO thor
oughly demoralized by Slavery as to re.
gard its safety and continuance as an OBJ
ject far more important than the preser-
vation OF the Government that they
cling TO the Union solely because they
hope that Slavery will be perretuated in
it, and, that hope failing, will not hes
itate TO cast their lot with traitors.
The Journal, as last resort, 10 pre-.
serve Slavery, would have every officer
in the service surrender his sword If
there are any officers, high or low, in the
service, who, like the Journal, love Slavery
better than their country, it is high time
their swords were surrendered TO worthier
hands. If the preservation Of the Union
depends upon the will Of few men whose
hearts are with the traitors. its doom is
sealed and any further sacrifices in its be-
half will be worse then vain. The Jour.
napS meaning cannot be mistaken. and, il
it truly represents the people OF its State,
then alas for the cause of the Union in
Kentucky.

Tho Presidents Message.

We publish in full, this week, tho first
annual Message of President Lincoln -
Although it bears evident marks of having
been hastily written, in tho midst Of the
manifold and absorbing duties of tho Execu.
tive Office it will be approved for its brief
and busipess.like suggestions aud general
good sense. We should prefer a clearer
and more forcibo enunciation of tho policy
of the Administration. yet forbear criti-
cism. because it could do no good, simply
remarking that, il there is not much in the
Message that the people. whose zeal in the
work of suppressng tho Rebellion is earnest
and unbounded, will enthusiastically ap-
plaud, tbero is little that thoy cannot cor
daily endorse. Giving the President all
credit for loyalty and good intentions, le,
us await the progress of events in the hope
that great and bopofcont results arc only
loft to DO developed in action.
The country will be gra tilted by the as.
surauce OF tho President that "the Union
must be preserved, and hence all ndis-
pensable means must be employed"
The argument against the Southern doc
trine that capital should own labor, with
which the Message concludes, is cloar and
unanswerabe, and, in these tinos of politi.
cal degoneracy, highly appropriate.
