NOT SATISFIED.

The Chicago Times is of the opinion
that the action Of the Peace Conference,
proposing to legalise slavery in all territory
south Of IS deg. 80 min. does not meet the
case at all, and it hints very broadly that
nothing will suit the exigency which does
not prescribe the same horrid rule for all
future aequisi{tons Of territory! For the
purpose Of reaching q definite un-
derstanding, We would ask the
Times to state e1acuy what aeoua
be satisfactory. The Breckenridge
platform in the recent campaign was
altogether an anti-slayery document, as
compared with the voracious requirements
Of the Times. Everything for the niger,
provided he is owned and 1ogged by q
white man, and nothing for the white man
unless he Owls and t1ogs a nigger-seems
to be the aninaus OF that sheet. We are
gradually reaching the true issue Of ma
tional politics, and we should be pleased to
see the Democracy Of Illinois take the field
On the sort Of platform which the Times
is now busy in erecting.

a Washington correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Press writes:
Il is curious fact that for forty years past
Il c Vice President has either been ut enlnity
with the President Or has been lost sight OF
in the distribution Of patronage, except where
be became Chief Magistrate BY the death Of
the first officer of the Government. Mr.. Cal
houn md General Jackson had an early and q
severe difference Vice President Richard n.
johnson never welded much power under
Mr. Van Buren's Administration. Had Harri
son survived there can be no doubt that John
Tyler would have been utterly ignored, and
the same may be said OF Mr.. Fillmore who
mounted over the coffin Of Gen. Taylor into
the Presidential Chair. In 1874, when Polk and
Dallas wcre elected, the friends Of the latter in
Pennsylvania exulted in the prospect Of con-
trolling the patronage Of the Federal Govern
ment, because their justly distinguished favor
lite occupied so close Il relation to the Presi-
dent; but Mr. Buchanan, q shrewd, cautf1us,
schcRing politician, located at Lancaster,
checllmated them, and. before the 4th Of
March, 1Gll5, had not only put himself into
the Department Of State but had put his rival,
Mr.. Dallas, under q shadow. From that day
to the expiration Of the term Of President
Polk, Mr. Dallas had no influence whatever.
The carly death Of the yenerablo William R.
King doubtless saved him fron i similar NOR
tifcation under the Administration Of Presi-
dent Pierce. In 1855, when the fayorite son
Of Pennsylvania was chosen to the high pssi-
tion he now occupies in company With the
young Kentuckian, John G. Breckinridge, We
had q striking exempliflcation Of the fact that
it is almost impossible for the President md
Vice President to agree From the moment
that James Buchanan entered the White House,
his besetting infrmity seemed to be suspicion
of all his old friends, and jealousy OF the hand
some Vice, President. :: IT., vain did the
friends Of the Inter appeal for patronage.
. They were coldly and haughti1y excluded
The framers of the Constitution intended to
make the Vice-Presideut a counselor OF the
President. In fact, his connection with the
Senate, aud the vote he receives at the cleo
ton, ought to put him before the Cabinet, but
the reverse has been occupied in England, for
many years, by the heir apparent to the reign
ing monarchy. One characteristic exception
/ is furnished to this rule, and that is the man
ner in which Old Hickory trusted ard con6ded
in VicePresident Martin Van Bnren. Jack-
sons friendships were so tenacious that,
whether he stood by a politician in petticoats
.or in pantaloous, he rarely gave up one to
whom he WIS attached. Van Bnren was not.
only his intimate and confidential friend, bnt
his daily counselor; and when the man Of iron
nerve mounted the second time to the highest
office In tho world, he caused it to- be under
stood that his successor should be the Vice
President; and the fiat Was carried out: ,'r:'

TIE reports of L5ncoln's inclinations, as
given out in conversation, arc Cplored By the
personal feelings Of the narraton. One Of
these reports makes him say that no plan Of
compromise yet suggested salts fed him. GOV.
Spragne and Judge Ames, the latter a Peace
Commissioner nj Rhode Island, asked 4 special
interview, which vas granted. They are said
to have urged Mr.. Lincu1n's assent to the
Guthrie proposition Mr. Lincoln object
I'd, on the ground that it recognized slavery in
the Territories, and he WIS elected to keep
slavery out Of the Territories. Judge Amss
then reminded the President elect that the
proposition, Us amended by Reyerdy johnson,
only applied to "presenl" Territory. Lin
coin insisted that it would, By fair inference,
apply to future acquisition, and asked Anes if
he could get the Southern men III the confer
ence to adopt an amendment that this recosni-
tion of slavery shat not Apply to future t,cqu;.
sitions ef Territory.
70 tits Judge lmes is reported to have an
swered, " Probably not" Lincoln was then
reminded that Rhode Island voted for him
ed jocoseiy, WAS tle worst reason he had yet
heard ssiyued for his election. Rhode Island,
observed one Of the gentlemen, is a little be-
hind the other eastern States On the slavery
question. Liucoln replied to this assertion Of
Rhode Islands political backwa1dnesE By an
anecdote CT Sunday school in Connecticut,
where hoy, in answer to q question respect
ing the attributes Of the Deity, answered that
they had three gods in Conn. eticut, but IN
Rhode Island, where he came from, they had
no god ut all As the Commissioners retired,
Mr. Lincoln said perhaps he had been too un-
reserved, aud they might consider the remarks
rs unsaid. 'sWe wish we could, = Was their re-
spouEe, as they left the room. This story is
part of the current anecdotes Of Old Abe" j"
and has prodoced, quite 4 sensation he.e.
cannot vouch for the details Of this report, but

The laws in the 6atutes-at-large are
these which the Democracy have enacted.
They have been, almost without exception,
approved by Democratic Presidents and
democratic Cabinets The Democracy
have majority in the next Congress
both Houses; and these laws cannot be
changed without their consent, Where,
then, as the chance for oppression by the
power which Republican President will
WELD? how can he, alone and unsup-
ported by Congress, control the policy Of
the nation? How can he touch the institu-
ton Of Slavery or any Of the collateral
matters winch influence it? These few
questions disclose the barrenness and base
1essness Of the pretensions which the Sc
ressionists put forth, and show, to
the satisfaction Of all fair-minded
men, that Secession is the outbreak Of
an old plot, and that the election of
Lincoln and the rule Of the Republicans
are but the pretance for crime long ago
matured and now consummated. What
We ask, have We to offer to such men in
the way of compromise, which they, up to
their eyes in conspiracy, would be willing
to accept aud assume once more the loyal
ty That they have cast of! They tell US IN
eqmsocally: Change the public senti-
ment Of the North-cal man-se1ling right,
permit perm il, as a right everywhere, and the
South will be content Again, the inquiry
comes-what Republican desires settle
ment upon terms like these?

WHAT THEY WILL SAY.

Ihe argument urged against the North
is this, " You imported the slaves and sol,l
81 them to us They came in ships, fitted
"out BY your capital, manned by your sail
Ora, and the money proceeds Of the car
goes went into your poekets! What arc
"you making fuss about slavery for? 1t
" is as much your institution as ours. Ifit
tt is a sin, as you say it is, take your share
"of it and let us alone Don't be mean II
"you can't bejustr" This is the Democrt-
ic and the Southern position, and though,
the deductions from the admitted facts arc
not warranted, they satisfy thousands Of
people, who need that or some other ex-
cusc to justify their political action.
Suppose that We make 9 stcompromise''
with these shareholders now, and establish
and protect slavery anywhere, if but in a
single township, or solitary family
what will be the cry when the South makes
the next demands Why this: "What
"are you Of the North blathering about
"n9w? Did notyou plant it in the Terri
stories south Of $50 80? Had you not
1.-THE majority; are not you respon-
"sible thenf Has not the institution
"your endorsement? Dare you say it is
"wrongs, and thereby admit that you have
.".iorced a wrong upon others, You are
not that kind Of men. "We accepted
"your action in good faith, and thanked
you Tor it; and fo,o Toe hold you 10 tho
'p1napzo upon tohsdA it 4cas based: IT
slavery is not wrong in: New Mexico, it is
mot wrong in Illinois and the other free
States hence your resistance to what we
"ask-hte right to haze and hold szace
"prvpsrty any,aacre is absurd, and
1--WE will dissolve the Union before we will
"submit to It'll"
Such, We say, would be fair and
strictly logical results Of the premises
which the compromisers assume-results
from which the North could not escape
We ask, who among the Republicans, be-
lieving that slavery is q crime against the
white race and the black-a thing to be en-
dured where it is established, but not ex-
tcnded-wants to occupy that degrading
position? Who among them, if willing to
perpetnate slavery anywhere by his vote,
does not see that it would be far more de-
cent, honorable and just to establish it
in the free States, which have Represents
tives IN Congress, who may resist the in
Fiction, than in q Territory, the people Of
which are powerless by their situation
Who does not see that the one thing
ailaed st is recognition and endorsement
Of slavery in the Federal Constitution, and
thatsuch recognition and endorsement can-
not be permitted without q logical surren-
der Of the whole controversy: Do the Re-
publicans want it closed in that w8y3
