The Crisis.

Events have followed each other in quick
succession since the commencement of the
present month, each exerting an influence up
on the status of the country, and producing
changes which the most sagacious statesman
could not foresee.
The peace convention has performed its
mission, and although it has arrived at no
result, and is impotent to inaugurate any sat
lstactory measure of compromise, yet it has
no doubt been the instrument of allaying
much asperity of feeling, and its prestige was
effective IN procuring the overwhelming In
ION vote in Tennessee and Virginia. Its es-
sential merit has been its non-action. 1t has
paralyzed the hot haste of the secession lead
ers, and afforded the friends of the constitu-
ton and of the Union in the border slave
states time and opportunity to rally and as
sert their loyalty, and thus rebuke the mad
ness of the traitors.
We fatter ourselves that the danger of the
secession of the border slave states has pass
ed, and that the conduct of the tyrants who
control the Southern confederacy has in a
great degree alienated from them the popular
sympathy of the border states. This danger
averted, and we see no occasion for recogni-
zlng the revolution in the South.
1t seems now certain that no opposition
will be made to the Inauguration of Mr. Lin
coin, and our conviction is clear and decided
that it will be impolitic and wrong for Con-
sress to consider any proposition changing in
any degree the constitution as it is. The
policy of the incoming administration should
be, as we doubt not it will be, to administer
the government according to the provisions
OF the constitution and the laws of Congress.
lhls implies the improbability ofrecognizing
IN any form or manner the Southern confed-
eracy or the seeding states as such. 1t does
not necessltate an invasion of Southern ter
rltory for the purpose of coercion, nor is it
now probable that it will bring hostile forces
into actual conflict, though this is possible.
A firm and decided determination on the
part of the general government to protect
the public property and to collect the reve-
nue., will meet the appreciation and support
of the great body of the American people,
and convince the revolutionists of the folly
and hopelessness of their secession scheme

The Peace Convention.

Hon E. P. Walton, member Of Congress
from the LIST district writes to his Montpe-
lier Waterman as follows:
vermont is represented in the Conven-
ton. The Vermont Congressional delegation
was first appointed, but declined to act, from
the inconvenience of being in two places at
one time, as we'll as from doubt, at that
tlme' of the e1pediency of having Vermont
represented at all. 1t was deemed best, how
ever, to have Vermont prepared for any con-
tlngency. Her delegates have gone in to
prevent mischief, if no good can be done +;
and | am now persuaded that it would be
best to have erery free state represented
Enough have gone in to give great weight
to its recommendations. 1t would be we'll to
have all in to prevent bad projects. The
free states, if fully represented, would control
the convention. l think they car do it now ;
but the delegates in some of them possibly
may not represent the predominating senti-
ment of the states. l say possibly there
are apprehensions of that sort, though none
in respect to our own"

L. a. Cooley of Philadelphia is consid. rable

can't effect compromise until there have
been few private sessions in a milliner' s
