KRE.Ts&kEE.

We are in receipt Of the following iute-
resting letter from q thorough Republican
now ut the Federal Capital:
WASHINGTON, Feb. s, 1861
We'll, Kel1ogg's treachery is consummated.
To-day, in a most abject aud humi1iating
speech, he talked himself out Of the party.
The spectacle was sickening-to see IN Illinois
Republican applauded and cheered on BIZ the
Democrats and Secessionists on Tho floor and
in the galleries. The cup which was presented
to their lips by senator Johnson's speech, WIS
returned to OUTS BY KellogE's. Our Repuhli-
cans sat bowed under the inAiction.
and ->yere on the floor clapping their
hands and stamping their feet. After Kellogg
had concluded, I'll the Northern Democrats
and all the South Americans rushed around
him and congratulated their new ally. OF the
Republicans, Morehead Of Pittsburgh, and one
other cd,ne1pn sadn, were the only ones who
approached him Ex-Governor WooD, JOHN
N. P&1sHR, and B. c. CooK (of the Illinois
Commission to the Peace Congress) heard The
speech. Their modification is beyond descrip-
ton. Gov. Wood said to Kellogg, in Wash
burnes PRESENCE, You have disgraced Jour
"self, the party and the State; and II you
" hare any manhood 1eft, you will resign yonr
"eeat and 60 home" Kellogg thercupon got
mad and called Gov. Wood an" impudent old
"puppy." II can't help thai, - he quietly re-
piled, ~ an a plaln-epoken old man, aud have
'9said just what think"
, But you will have seen the speech before
this reaches you; l need not, therefore, dwell
upon it.

Again, for the ono hundredth time, We
point out the difference between the old
Missouri Compromise and The Crittenden
and Kellogg propositions now before Con-
gress. The Missouri Compromise made n
large part of the territory wesf of the Mis-
sissippi free, but none Of it slave The
C1ittenden and: Kellogg propositions make
the greater part Of q still greater territory,
acquired since 1870, irrevocably slave ter:
ritory- That's the difference-one prohib-
tied slavery, the others estsb1ish and pro-
tect I'll When, then, it il said that KEEL
loggs plan is to re-enact the Missouri COM
promise, let the falsehood Of that assertion
be promptly exposed.

4 CASE OF DOUBT

Mr. Colfax's bill, the object of which is
to suspend the mail service in the Seeding
States, does not specify the States in which
it will be operative. Instead of that, it
gives the Postmaster General the authority
to discontinue the mails on any route,
whenever, in his opinion, the postal laws
cannot be executed or the letter bags safely
transmitted The, enforcement of this
small penalty against secession, is, if the
bill passes the Senate, Of which there is
little doubt, matter Of discretion with Mr..
KING, the head Of the Postofice Depart
ment. He is a violent partisan, though an
able and experienced officer; and we are
not well enough assured Of his perfect
fidelity to the Union, to predict that lie
will use the power reposed. in his hands.
Mr.. colfax deserves great credit for getting
the bill through the House; but we regret
that he did not make it mandatory in lis
terms. Weshan see what Mr. King will do.

SUGAR DUTIES.

We are aware that the necessities Of tlc
new Administration which will start ont
upon borrowed capital and impaired credit,
will require the imposition Of duties On
most articles which will bear the burden,
and that there is great excuse for those Sen
ators and Representatives who persist in
retaining the impost on sugar; but We can
not get rid Of the belief that their persist
enceis ll-timed and ill-advised. Louisiana,
for whose industry the duties were origi-
naiIy levied, is in state Of rebellion. Sl.e
hns signa1ized her disregard Of public Law
and the authority of the Government by
occupation Of the forts and arsenals, Of tie
public hospials and custom houses, and by
theft Of the public money in the mint; md
50 far as she can do 30 by her ordinance of
secession, she has cut herself of from all
claim to be recognized as sovereign State
Of the Union No one proposes to make
war upon her; hut we take it for granted
that men of all parties in the North will
BY aud by unite in one effort to enforce the
Law and recover the property that she has
stolen: To aid in doing 50, the repeal Of
the sugar duties would be more efectunl

Whenever any intelligent man confesses
his willingness to give up the PRINCIPLES Of
his party in the alleged p1irpose of saving
his country, he admits BY fair implication
that he has professed those principles only
to advance himself; or that thew are error;
to which he can no longer hold. We as-
sumo that the principles of,Republiean;sm

L WORD TO THE COMPR0RJrsrna

4 WORD TO THE COMPRORIreRRa.
The compromisers who propose to meet
at Bryan Hall tonight will permit Us to
remind them Of two facts:
L In their call for public meeting they
have coupled the name Of Nj. Seward with
that OF Ill: Kellogg, leaving the public to
the inference that, in the estimation.of the
signers, these two gentlemen agree heartily
in sentiment. THIS is an act Of great IN
justice to Mr. Seward. There is nothing
in his speeches Or votes or reported CON
versations. since. the election Of 1fr. Lin
coin, to war1ant the statez:ent that be il
willing to establish slavery South Of thirty
six degrees thirty minutes by fncorpo1a-
ting provision to that effect in the federal
Constitution. It is true that the tone Of
his late speeches has sorely gricved his
best friends all over the country; but sad
dened and disappointed as they are, there is
not one Of the number but has enough of
his old fifth in Mr. Seward left to resent an
imputation so damaging to his consistency
and TO his political and moral honesty. Il,
therefore, the getters up Of the meeting pro-
pose to indorse Mr. Seward as having gone
just far enough in his offers Of concession,
they must stop far short Of sustaining the po-
sition Of MIR: Kellogg: And for the sane
reason, if they indorse RIr. Kellogg,
they cannot sustain the less pro-
nounced position of Mr.. Seward. We
trust the action Of the meeting tonight
will not give rise 10 any confusion Of ideas
The public should know precisely what
these gentlemen are for whe charge
that the TRIBUNE has mtsrepresented them
If they are for Kellogg, they should say
SO; if for Seward, they should make that
fact manifest. They cannot be for both.
: IL II the getters-up Of the meeting have
in contemplation such netion as will induce
the secessionists to return to their alIegi-
ance, it will be a useless waste of labor rs
well as great piece Of folly to stop with
the Kellogg proposition. They will not
re:race their steps for any halfway mea-
sure. You must not only agree to plant
and protect slavery in the territory south
of Sc deg. 80 min, but you must give it
protection everywhere, in the free States
as well as in all the Territories. You must
not stop with that; but you must reverse
public sentiment in the free States, destroy
the freedom Of speech, Of the pulpit and Of
the press: Won must ob1itrrafe the nacIoro-
