The New York Tribune is not pleased with the

very boldly, IL criticises both its tone Of

not satisfactory, 1t Is sseminently hopeful, con-

verssl attention and exert general and a salutary
influence

fails to present anything practical for the present.
and be SO surrounds the territorial question with
ifs and butts, that nothing tangible can be got out
of ii "
The Baltimore Sun says 50 The speech has
only served to disappoint all who put the slight
est trust in Mr.. Seward. We were not among
the number"
The Baltimore American augurs good from the
speech, and looks for an amicable adjustment of
present difficulties.
The Baltimore Clipper says -" 1t was an ex-
tending of the olive branch on the part of the
North. twill be and should be so regarded II
was carefully worded, and eminently, astonishly,
conservative and conciliatory in Its terms"
The Alexandria Gazette is not satisfied at all

York Herald Introduces with effect the declara-
ton Of the Duke of Wellington to the British
Parliament al the time he introd uced the Cath
Ollie Emancipation bill. AS concession was to be
made, the Duke resolved 1t should be made fully
and freely so as to satisfy all, and leave no rank
ling vestiges behind. In proposing the bill in
the House Of Peers, he used these memorable
words - My lords, am one OF those who hay
probably passed more Of my life in war than
most men, and principally, [ may say, in civil
war, too; and must say this, that If | could
avoid, by any sacrifice whatever, even one month
OF civil war in the country to which ! am at
tached, | would sacrifice my life In order to do
It" There is wisdom and counsel In these words,
and their applicability to the present condition OF
this country is strkinaly evident

MR.. CRTTTENDEN ON THE Position OF MARY
LAND-The editors Of this paper (says the Balti
more American) have warrant for saying that In
a recent conversation between the Hon. John J
Crttenden and distinguished citizen of Mary
land, held on the 10th, and repeated on the 18th
inst, Mr.. Crittenden used the following language:
/" That be did not like to present the appearance
of advising interfering with the action OF other
communities than that represented Immediately
by himself.-that he bad. however, no hesitation
In fully and freely giving his views to me or any
other gentleman in conversation, without restric-
ton In regard to the use | might think proper to
make of them.-that be was decidedly Of the
opinion that at this time Maryland should quiet
ly, firmly, and bravely stand by the Constitution
and the Union, and should await future develop
ments before taking action Of any kind that be
could conceive of no action which Maryland
could take at this moment which could be pro-
ductve of favorable results to the peace ard quiet
OF the nation and that these would be best pro-
NOTED by inaction at the present.
