Virginia Convention.

There appear to be three parties now a,

the action of the Peace Conference. The
Union party, Secession party. and an unde-

party denouuGes il, and the memhers Of the
undecided party are ready for motion either
way, as the current OF circumstances may de.

A Union Party.

New issues bring out new men and organize
new parties. 1t seems that several Democrat tic
members Of the Congress just adjourned are
engaged in preparing political paper, which
the leaders of all parties will be asked to sign
as the basis for the formation of a new party
to be called the Union Party. We are fully
impressed with the fact, from the present con-
dition of affairs throughout the land, that as
parties now stand they will certainly fall to
pieces. A great sentiment controls every hour
and confirms our belief that a new and perma.
nent party can be established from the differ.
ent elements that now constitute the conserva.
tive portions of the democratic, Republican,
Peoples aud Bell. Everett parties. This theory
has already been put into active motion by the
most eminent and distinguished men.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois was, Monday
as the Sixteenth President of the
United States, and the occasion, although the
City of Washington was crowded to an I'M
wOnted extent, and although apprehensious Of
scenes of violence were entertained by many
was not marred by a single untoward event
The ceremonies were similar in detail to those
which have taken place at former Inaugural
lions, and from first to last no token of dsre-
spect to the new President was exhibited
The scene at the East Portico of the Capitol,
when the Inaugural Address was delivered,
was grand and impressive. When Mr.. Lin
coin made his appearance before the assembled
thousands, he was greeted with burst of APP
plause, and as he proceeded with his Address
he was frequently interrupted with marked de.
monstrAtiOns of appreciation. At the concln.
sion Of its delivery, the venerable ChiefIus.ics
fancy administered the oath of Office to the
new President, and the ceremonies at the Cap

There is no doubt that those who have been
most conspicuous in forming new coniederacy,
will feel extremely mortified to be compelled
to abandon their project, but as soon as the ex
cuse for separation is taken away, the Union
party, now latent in those States, will become
active' and the inconvenience of disuulon,
together with the prospect Of enormous taxa
tien. in case of war, will give that party great
strength, and in little time it will gain ma.
