dent win sign IL but of that do not feel sc
sure. There are more things in the head
of Old Buck than are dreamed of in any
philosophy; and be may have a dozen
constitutional reasons for vetoing the
bill, about which no one Else would ever
think.
Almost every one asks who will be the
Senators of the new State of Kansas 81
Lane, Parrot and Stanton are most fire..
quently spoken of here in that connection
The telegraph from Washington on Mon
day announces that NJ. ThaddeUs Hyatt
has just left that city for Kansas, to give
the Legislature of the new State some
wholesome advice in regard to the proper
persons to be chosen Senators! 1t is not
probable. however, that Mr.. Hyatt will
insist on indicating the choice of more than
one of them, grsciously leaving the other
for the choice of the predominant party!
Mr.. Lincoln. the President elect. will
leave Springfield for Washington about the
10th of next month, taking indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Albany,
Harrisburg, Philadslphis and Baltimore in
his route. and arriving at the capital about
the goth prox. Beyond the names of
Messrs. Bates of Missouri anj Seward OF
New York, nothing is known positively OF
the composition of his Cabin - I it is
generally supposed that no fui ..e tenders
of positions have been or will be made IN
til after Mr.. L. has consulted with the
leading Republicans in Congress.
Mr.. Howard's Congressional Investigat-
ing Committee has been furnished with
positive and reliable evidence of the exist
ence of a formidable conspiracy. having its
headquarters in Washington, for taking
armed possession of the capital before the
4th of March, and overthrowing the Gov
eminent. Many prominent Government
officials are concerned in it, and the ramifi-
cations of the plot extend over Eastern
and Maryland. Gen. Scott, in
connection with the authorities of the Dis
trict of Columbia, is making vigorous prep
arations for the defense of the capital, and
has ordered thither troops from Leaven-
worth, West Point and other places. It is
hardly probable that the attempt will now
be made.
The Legislature of Virginia has issued a
request fer conference of the Commits
sioners from all the States, seeding and
otherwise, to meet at Washington on the
4th of February. for the purpose of making,
if possible, an adjustment of the existing
difficulties. Virginia presents, as her ~
Congressional amendments recog-
nizing the right of slave property to go any
where under the Federal Constitution that
other property can ; the positive establish
0aent and protection of Slavery in all the
territory south of $50 3oi now owned by the
Government, or hereafter 10 be acquired
These modest propositions will hardly be
into the Constitution this
year-there being growing feeling all over
The North that the Constitution as 1t is,
IS as good now as it ever has been, and
equal to the emergency. If the Union is to
be saved by compromises. it will scarcely
be saved. 1t is doubtful, indeed, if more
than dozen States respond to the call for
a conference. The seeding States will
not, and the Legislatures of not more than
four or five of the remainder are in session.
Gov. Chase, of this State, says in regard to
he matter: II am first for Inauguration of
he President elect, and then for adjust
nent;' sentiment which is pretty gener-
lily echoed by the Republicans everywhere.
It will not do to concede anything to treason
,r menace.
Mr.. MorrilPs tariff bill will probably be-
come a law in a few days. Its influence
will be to revive manufactures, and stimu-
ate home industry generally, as well as to
.aise revenue of about $50, 200, 900 per
Gnnum for the support of the Government
all much needed, and devoutly TO be
Wished for.
Mr.. Floyd, Mr.. Buchanan's ex Secretary
# War, has been indicted by the Grand
Jury of the District of Columbia for NAL
easance IN Office, completely in a theft of
securities, and attempt to over
throw the Government itself! There is no
longer room to doubt that secession is being
played by Government officials as means
Of covering up their thefts, by scuttling the
ship.
Yesterday a gentleman for many years a
resident of this county, and one of its best
citizens. drew from the Merchants Bank of
this place several hundred dollars in gold,
with which he started for Breckenridge
Kansas, with the design of there
making permanent home. There viii be
more of the same Sort along before many
months.
Governor Medary's new paper. The CRI
SIS, has made its appearance upon our ta-
bic. 1t is one of the largest and handsom-
est papers on our exchange list, and we
need not tell our readers that it is well ed
tied. 1t contains eight large pages of read
