[spgoI4L CORRESPONDENCE OF THB DISPATCH.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s, 1861
| The Peace Conference has adjourned sine
| die. The papers say the country is saved
| Many worthy people feel very happy When
ever the Guthrie Franklin proposition shall
| have passed both Honses by the req II iste two
| thirds vote, then it may be necessary to re-
view the special features of the proposition
! and expose the holiowness and insubs tan
| TALLY of the whole affair. Not that this will
| do any good. The people want peace at any
| price. Useless to tell them they are but post
! poning the evil day. Idle to predict that the
| Compromise of 6l will be like that of '5O-a
palliative but cure.
When the proceedings Of the Peace Congress
were laid before the Senate yesterday, Crit
tenden moved to refer them to q select COM
,nittee of five, with instruction to report to-
day at o'clock. Seward voted in the mega
tive. What will the Virginia Conven ton say
TO their Union Deity now? Crittenden's
propositions were voted down in the House
by I13 to Sc. Kellogg's proposition Jared even
worse, 1853 to So The Republicans held a eau
Gus last night, and it may be taken for granted
that they concluded TO act more reasonably
to-day, since it Is asserted on reliable authOri-
~ that King Lincoln has intima ted conciia-
ton as forthcoming in his speech next Mon
day.
Seward is reported to have gone a bow shot
further. He says that the soldiers are TO be
withdrawn from the Southern forts the reye-
nues are not to be collected by any officials but
those authorized by the Government a Mont
gomery, the Confederate States are to be re-
cognized as independent, and left to work ont
their destiny in peace. This is wise policy,
and shall believe Seward means it when I
have read Lincoln's inaugural But the fatal
effect on the border slave States of this ''soft-
solder treatment must be apparent to all
but the wilfnliv blind Let turn from the
sad picture of their shame. Let us acknoW-
ledge the immediate formation of the Union
Republican party, its certain triumph over
the Southern Union party, and the inevitable
reSult-emancipation.
A German editor has given an account of a
visit he made to old Abe, At Springfield I
quote sen tence or two: "The Southerner is
not a perfect human being without his negro
He Is but n Zero that obtains its value from a
prefixed l. Il solid negro. The Shareholder is
but a fraction of a human being, while we
Northerners are unity How in she world can
it be demanded, that the slav tholder should
90 into the Territories like helpless baby
without his negro, who enables him TO COM
pete with freemen ?' The editor adds " hr
Abe spoke this with such an drtfuE serious
ness that had to look Just in to his eve in or
der to know what he meant He says, more
over, that Abe is in the habit of cleaning his
own boots, and intends to keep it up after he
gets into the White House.
Saw Rarey last night. Is too fond of hear
ing himself talk, little too unforgetful of
his skill to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. but
is an interesting lecturer for all that, and in
spite of his broad English. His method of
tanning is based upon common sense He first
teaches the horse that hs is his friend and
next that he is his master. Seward was pre-
sent last night, and 1 fancied saw his eve
twinkle, he inwardly exclaimed That's
the way III proceed i'll subduinS the border
States" ZEp
