Rolling in the Dirt for Nothing.

Our Democratic friends who have Just
now such a great regard for the venerable
John j. Crittendcn, and applaud so highly
his efforts to save the country by virtue of
the compromise proposed by him in Con-
gress, do not find much consolation at the
hands of tho Charleston Mercury. There
is an occasional Republican, with a weak
back, who also so far forgets himself and
the principles for which he declared when
he cast his vote for Lincoln and Hamlin.
as to fall in with the suggestion that the
present troubles agitating, the country
should be settled on some such basis as
that advanced by Senator Crittenden. To
all these officiating gentlemen VIC COM
mend the declaration of the paper before
alluded to, that the proposed compromise
is ''simply ridiculous and that "no man
alive-not Seward, nor Lincoln, nor Gree
ley, has done more to dissolve the
Union, than the Hon. J. j. Crittenden-
from the tariff of 1912, down to the last
act of aggressive tyranny on the part of
the North-the exclusion Of Kansas from
the Union on account Of slavery" The
fact is, South Carolina is not in favor of
any compromises at all She is not going
to come to terms without threshing and
the sooner she gets it the better it will
be for all concerned Tbs government
can make no overtures to her that will DC
satisfactory, and it seems to US that the
best way to bring her to her senses is to
set Major Anderson at work cleaning out
the city of Charleston. Perhaps as a
matter of policy 1t is better to humor her
awhile longer, but in our opinion the long
er the operation is delayed, the more des-
perats the case becomes. If we have got
q government we want to know it, and if
we have any laws we wish to see them
enforced. 1t is high time that the question
should IN some way be settled, as to
whether our government is good for any
thing or net.

The Cotton States Opposed to Com


FL ewhere in our columns we have ex-
pressed the belief that South Carolina does
not want to compromise the difficulties at
present existing between the Cotton States
on the one hand and the General govern
ment on the other. That such is the case
with all the rebellious States there can be
no doubt. The following extract from
speech recently made by William L. Yancey
furnishes key to their whole philosophy
in the matter:
"Mr. President, I avow myself as utter
ly unalterably opposed to any and all plans
of reconstructing Union with the Black
Republican States of the North. No new
guaranteQs>-no amendments of the Con-
stitution-no peaceful resolutlons-no re-
peal Of offensive laws can offer to me any,
the least, inducement to reconstruct our
relations with the non-slaveholding States.
This opinion is not founded on any objec-
ton to confederation with States, north
of Mason and Dixon's line, on principles
mutually agreeable to them; but it is
founded Oh the conviction that the disease,
which preys on the vitals of the Federal
Union, does not emanate from any defect
in the Federal Constitution-but from a
deeper source-the hearts, heads and con-
sciences of the Northern people They
are educated to believe slavery TO be re-
ligious as well as political wrong, and
consequently to hate the STAKEHOLDER. Mr.
Seward was right when he declared there
was an ''irrepressible conflict" which
would not cease until slavery was extermi-
mated. But, sir, the elements of that con-
fiict are not to be found in the Constitu-
ton, but between the Northern and South
ern people. No guarantees-no amend
ments of the constitution-no compromise
patched up to secure to the North the ben
efts Of the Union yet little longer, can
re-educate that people on the slavery is
sue, SO as to induce them, having the ma
jority, to withhold the exercise of its pow
er in aid of that ''irrepressible conflict. D
10 accept Of such reconstruction would, in
my opinion, be but salving over the sur
face Of the deep-rooted cancer, which has
been eating into the vitals Of the Union.
efecting perhaps an apparent, decitful
cure, while still the ioathsome and ineu-
rable disease keeps on its fatal progress,
and daily wsakeus the body polite, until
finally it breaks forth again with renewed,
because temporarily depressed vigor, and
the victim sinks in death"
q. 1t will be seen therefore that it ia not
e. account of the election of Lincoln that
the South feels aggrieved, but because
1.-the hearts, heads and consciences of the
Northern people" are not "sound" upon
the question Of slavery, 1t is not that
any new guarantees are demanded for that
institution, but it is the obliteralion Of
the Northern conscience only that will APP
pease the anger of our Southern brethren,
at the present time. We commend Yam
cey's remarks to the attention of our dirt
eating friends, and respectfully ask them
how they like the terms upon which they
are invited to make a reconciliation with
the South.

another Border State Speaks for
The Union

Tks latest advices from Missouri state
that at the election held there last Monday
Tor the purpose of choosing delegates to a
State Convention, the Union men were
victorious. In St. Louis their majority is
5000. No doubt is entertained that they
have carried the State by decisive vote.
Thus one after another the Border States
declare their devotion and attachment to
tho Union, and repudiate the action of
South Carolina and her followers in the
wake of secession.

From WASHINGTON


Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercially
Washington, Feb. Is.
1t has been given out in all the papers
that the Committee of the Peace Confer
ence would agree on report, and it wo'
be submitted to-day. But a Missouri
Commissioner declared this morning not on
ly that they would not report to-day, but
there was no prospect that they would
agree upon any basis of adjustment at all
Messrs. Guthrie and Tyler, on the part of
the Kentucy and Virginia Commissioners
waited on the President yesterday, with a
view to ascertain the position of the Gov
eminent as to the force question, coercion,
&c Especially they asked that since the
ground had been taken in Hollis last com
munication to Col Hayne, that the Gov
eminent was holding Fort Sumter to pro-
tect Charleston and Charleston Commerce,
the Government would listen to South Car
olIna's request to withdraw the garrison,
because they did not ask nor want protec-
ton at the hands Of tie Federal Govern
ment.
The President firmly declined. They
informed him that any attempt to hold
Sumter by force, or to retake any other
fort would unite the whole South. They
also profess to be sure of two Northern
States that will make common cause with
the South when coercion comes.
The Secessionists here pretend that
Major Anderson and Lieut. Mead, both at
Fort Sumter, will throw up their commits
slons the moment their states, Kentucky
and Virginia, sccede.
What is called the manifesto of Mr.. Lin
coin at indianapolis, creates most intense
excitement here. It. is received in all
