cosFIanArrox.--The Baltimore Patriot
states that il is able to affirm the correctness
Of Che n. II Trfbune's announcement that
sMr. Lincoln IS opposed to any concession or
compromise.a
The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1861-01-02
Lincoln Adheres to the Chicago Plat
form.

The following is the latest and most anthem
tative utterance from the Black Republican
President elect. 1t is published double-leaded
in the N. Y. Tribune of Saturday and leaves
no room even for conjecture as to his purposes
and the policy prescribed for his administration
We are enabled to state, in the most positive
terms. that Mr.. Lincoln is utterly opposed to
any concession or compromise that shall yield
one iota of the position occupied by the Re-
publican party on the subject of slavery in the
Territories, and that he stands now, as he
stood in May last, when he accepted the NOM
ination for the Presidency, square upon the
Chicago Platform.
OF Has our correspondent ever heard Of a
Missssippian being mobbed, insulted, or OBJ
structed, in the pursuit of his lawful business
in any Northern State Gin. Commercial.
This question is propounded by the Com
mercial to Mississippi correspondent Itcan
easily be answered affirmatively by citing the
transaction in the State of Minnesota, last
summer, when several slaves were decoyed
from their Mississippi owners by abolition
marauders. In one instance slave was re-
scued from the plunderers by party of Mis-
sissippians, for whose persons large reward
is now offered by the Black Republican Gov
ernor of that State. One of these persons is
a citizen of this town and a former Attorney
General of the State.
Nor has it been long since one Of our U. s.
Senators was robbed Of his slave while return
ing from the performance of his official duties
at the federal capital. The correspondent
might remind the Commercial that this out
rage was perpetrated in the city in which that
paper is pub.ished-the city Of Cincinnati.

element and with the showers Of opinions
coming, like thunder storms, simultane-
Ously from two different directions-rising
in the extremes Of the circumference and
gathering forces from the centre-but lit.
tie Of the conflicting elements has been
produced by Oregon. Indeed it is but
seldom that fairly stated opinion comes
from that State in the columns Of its pub
lie journals; we see, however, an article
10 the Oregon Democrat which is extra.
ordinary from tho fact that it treats its
subject in comprehensive and respecta.
Die manner. The subject is d" the Union
and while regretting the state of the I'm.

the truth is-he pledged himself unquali-

tered in the case Of Burnell, the Assembly

the beginning Of the Legislative session,

Many Of the names bestowed upon
places in California, are abominablc out.
RACES on euphony, significant application
and refined taste. In time, perhaps, ma.
ny Of these will disappear, and in order
that their number may the more rapidly
decrease, every person who selects names
for new places should make such selection
as will not hereafter cause his own name
to be associated with meaner one which
he has given to place worthy Of . name.
A new style Of names seems to have
sprung from the harsh naming Of . steam.
boat whose magnificence, construction and
cost somewhat represent the city Of San
Francisco. She was called the "Chrys.
OpOlis," q word which is intended to sig.
nifty the city Of gold, or the golden city,
or the great city Of the land Of gold.
There is no simplicity, and therefore no
beauty and common adaptability, in the
word "chrysOpOlis"; but from its use
are evidently appearing such unpleasant
names as "qnartxOpOlis," " silverOpOlis"
and " cOpperOpOlis." The latter has been
given to village springing up at = cop.
per mine in Calaveras county" Copper
opOlis! The intelligent editor Of the
MarysviIle appeal is guilty Of trying to
name the great quartz region Of Nevada
county "QuartzopOlis", and we have
heard persons alIude to the Washoe sill
yer regiOna as "Silveropolis." In giving
the unpOetic "OpOlis" to the quartz, or
Grass Valley. region Of Nevada, the edit.
or Of the appeal says that the place con.

ton; q considerable number Of other
veins, which have their rock crushed at
custom mills; and . still larger number
Of veins which are merely being opened.
1t is thought there are one hundred good
veins within small radius, and no limit
can be set to future discoveries. Several
valuable discoveries have been made du.
ring few months past. All of the veins
now regularly worked pay well-sOme
enormously, among which the Allison
Ranch, Atwood, and Spring Valley veins
are particularly famous. The rock from
the first affords an average gold yield Of
probably not less than 800 per ton. and
q single cleaning up sometimes amounts
to 100000! II is thought the company

1rst struck, but is now from foot to five
feet thick at depth Of near $40 feet, and
perhaps richer than ever. The company
are said to have their monthly cIeanings

on guarded by armed men, which pro.

FAILURE OF ALL RE PLANs-All Of IN

FAILURE OF ALL THB PLANs.-All Of the
propositions made In Congress and in the
Convention Of States to adjust the seces-
sion difficulty, failed to take any definite
shape Of settlement Perhaps these
schemes were too hasty; perhaps Mr..
Lincoln is correct in saying that nothing
can b. lost by taking time. A National
Convention will be the best means, after .
time, Ofre-establisAing the union Of States,
but in the mean time the free State
element must Be AdmOnished Of the fact
that no now fraternity can DO obtained
without repeal Of sentiment, not Of Lao.
