TIE COMING ADJUSTMENT,


Ia become q State, embracing all the territory
south Of Sc SO, either with or without Slavery,
as they may choose. This is the Ne~-york
scheme OF accommodation. II was first proposed
ia The Committee of Thirty three by Mr.. 1dams
Of Massachusetts, acting under New-Yars's iu-
spirations. 1t has, undoubtedly, been betsre Mr..
Lincoln and. from the develeFments OF the last
few days, it seems probable that he ia Willing 10
acquirsce in it. This is the only reasonable eX-
plaration of the late confident movements in the
financial circles of New-York City, wkich are
usually promptly and well-informed OF what Is
going on.
The two questions that arise are, VIII ihe
measure 90 through and, VIII 1t stop The
secession movement
If it can be- got before Congress IN nnc | am
disrosed TO think it can be passed, Though this
opinion is daidcntly expressed, and without any
detailed canvass of the vote.
Considering that Mr.. Adams was brought to
ofer the proposition suppose It is fair 70 inter
that other Republicans viii support II III the
House. If the New-York Legislature indorses
it, according to what appears TO be the present
,rorramme, good many NewYork members Of
(c,ci,ss will probably sustain it. So IN New
Jcr,y, 20 in PeDDsy lysnia, SO in Ohio, so In
Irdiarn AID Sc | suppose in good many
o.ter R,pullcar States including Massachusetts.
On The southern side, Judge it Will get and
from Dclawa, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee,
anG + Gil Vre .na, North Carolina, NJ s5ouri aud
Texas. | don't see that ii can get any outside
of this list, aud within it the support viii Oe in
some cases fracmentary and feeble. VIII there
he votes enough l cannot say. II would MOI
surprise me if there were, SO far as the House
is concerned.
How of the Senate Here il looks more
doubtful. The Republican Senator's are pretty
much of one mind Oh the policy of inaciion
How much of o break in the line is possible on
this scheme is yet to BE- seen. New-YOrk State
may instruct or advise her Senators. Pennsy-
wanna ditto. New-Jersey may fall in. Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island may move in whole or in
part. ReyOnd these points l do not see any
signs, and not clearly in some of these Indeed,
nomilay, the Senate is now unit on mas
teIly inactivity. But this is void of change,
and this plan has been llng maturing. On the
Southern side, there are Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky. Tennes, ce, Missouri, possibly Ar
kansas from which to get recruits; but here
We must stop. viii they, with what Republicans
C be- got, furnish votes enough They may,
after the Cotton States have retired. And |
suppose the plan is TO wait until they have re-
tired, acting on the suppositon that they will 60
out according to advertisement And while in
the Senate, as in the House there would be
little OF no chance Of such a measure passing on
a iull representation it is by no means lmpossl-
lie, not to say imprOboble, that il will be- iloatcd
through without grounding after dozen OF ff-
teen Senators have retired to the field of their
Ir,ol, tionory labors. Yet it is very difficult now
Ia SIC where the votes are coming from.
lie remaining question is VIII the project
satisfy the seceders No, SIR! South Carolina
is gon, So much, suppose, is settled. Florida,
&c, gs. Aaban n, and Mississippi are ss good
as goie AID so 7 suppose may be said of
LOUISIANA and Texas These States do not IN
tend to bach 'ieir topsas, whoever halls. They
are the Gpll Squadron whose anchors are already
on the bow, and whose canvas is fully spread to
the secession gale. They viii not stop. They

time they viii get tired Of ocean experience,
what time they may heave to, what time
trpv may get knocked down on their
beam ends, what tin they may be seen scudding
under bare poles seeking for shelter, or what
time they nay feel satisfied to put about and
run back into port, shall not undertake TO
Judge. No nan can tell in advance how yentur
ing abroad on the stormy waves Of secession will
agree with green hands. If that dark ocean
proves wilder ard stornuer than they anticipate,
their tNp.rci,e thereon may be briefer than
they expect.
Is 10 tue other Slave States, opinions must
dil,r AZ to tie effect of the proposed occommo-
dusior. 1t may answer for Kentucky, and Tor
T,npessee, ard for Missouri as temporary

swer for Delaware aud Maryland. II may do
for North Carolina, and for Virginia, possibly,
but of this / doubt. Virginia, east of the noun
taips, suspect TO be a seeding State, though
her Convention to consider this vital question
must be stormy and divided, Judging from all
previous experience,
But the hope Of peace lea not in such meas

to preserve this Government, and maintain the
existing Constitution, and uphold the flag Of our
country against all Corners, high or low, within
or without the Union, at all hazards, and under
all circumstances. Wherever, and in whatever
State and community, this feeling exists, tot 1t
