81 The following suggestions, from highly III
telligent source commended 20 the attention of
the Legislature now in session

- The following suggestions from highly in
tellgent source are commended 10 the attention of
the Legislature now in session -
For the Standard.
Mr.. HOLDEN: The question now most frequently
propounded is what will the Legislature do? I
hope the members of that honorable body will par
don me for suggesting the policy which | think is
clearly indicated by the circumstances by which We
are surrounded.
The public sentiment of the State now demands
that Convention shall be called at the earliest Pc
rod practicable for the purpose of enabling the peo
pie in their sovereign capacity to dissolve their con-
nection with the general government in the same
formal and digni6ed manner in which it was made.
l. therefore, suggest that bill be passed through
both branches of General Assembly on the first
second day of the session. ordering election for
delegates to Convention to be held the fourteenth
day after its ratification, and calling the delegates
together in Convention the sixth day after the
election so that the Convention may be in session
on the twentieth day after the passage of the BILL in
strict conformity with the provisions of our State
! Constitution. The means for prosecuting the war
| in which engaged must also be provided by
the Legislature and suggest with due Difference to
the opinions of Others the issuing of Treasury notes.
in sums of from five to one hundred dollars, receiv
able in payment of taxes and other debts, thereby
making them safe circulating medium, which may
! be paid out by the Treasurer in defrayng the eX-
! penses of our army. Treasury notes issued upon
the faith and credit of the State would command the
confidence of the people, furnish safe and conve-
nient circulating medium, and what is of equal i'm
portance would obvate the necessity of increasing
the taxes during the progress of the war, which is
matter not to be overlooked or neglected 1t would
also relieve the banks from the necessity Diminishing
means to the State and thereby enable them to af-
ford very great relief to the people at time when
| they will very much need it. Another impor tant
advantage will be that 1t will save the interest which
must be paid if money is borrowed from either banks
or individuals. The Legislature should also declare
| in the most solemn manner the unalterable deter
mination of our people never to pay any portion of
The debt of the United States government incurred
since the fourth day of March last the proceeds of
which debt are being used to subjugate and de-
grade the South. These suggestions respectful
" submitted for the consideration Of Legisla-
tors as proper and necessary for the promotion Of
our interest the preservation of our rights and the
| protection of our honor. a. Is.

most devoted patriotism Itreminded US of the days
when the Scottish Covenanters lifted their swords

WHAT LINCOLN EXPECTS TO Do.-The National
Republican, of Washington, the organ of Lincoln,
says:
There is to be no peace except upon the basis of
the unqualified submission of those in revolt There
is to be no recognition of any pretended Southern
Confederacy. There is to be no peaceabe assent to
separation Of these States. The government is to
be maintained in that plain, straight forward way
in which all governments are maintained, 6y coer-
ciOn. The leaders of this conspiracy are to be driv
en- out of the country, or - be hanged, and never
did conSpirators anywhere and at any time, more
richly deserve the fate which awaits them"
This, then, is the programme. Lincoln will have
to put down and hang the people of fifteen States.
He will have lively time of it. We predict that
Lincoln and his government will be in Albany New
York. before the close of the ensuing summer.
