The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1861-02-22

From very good authority, we are satis-
fed that Republican members Of the Legis-
lature, were they not fearful of ridicule,
would gladly reconsider their hasty, discour-
teous, and unpatriotic refusal to send
Commissioners to the Peace Conference.
Therei is now every prospect of a settlement,
but the Republicans of the Legislature will
not enjoy the satisfaction of contributing in
the slightest degree, to this much desired
consummation. On the contrary they have
placed every obstacle they could in the way
of the restoration Of the mutual good will
between the North and South. The Good
hue Republican, the organ Of that party, in
the strongest Republican county in the
State, in it's issue OF the 18th, expresses its
dissent from the action Of the Legislature,
and it but feebly indicates the dissatistac-
tion of the people:
We believe that all non-ssceding States ex-
cept Maine and Minnesota, have sent dele
gates. We regard it q matter of regret that q
single State should be without voice in that
Convention, and we especially regret that Min
nesota should be one Of those that refuse to re-
cognize 80 patriotic movement. Our Legis
ture has certainly done itself no honor in the
course it has pursued in the matter. =

and Thomas Ewing of Ohio, David Wilmot, of
Pennsylvania, Dudley Field, of New York, and
Gov. Hall, of Vermont, can recognize and be-
come members Of, is not of SO bad . character

lney enOuI0 roCner receive tno approving
sympathy Of the conservatives Of the North.
They have placed themselves under the
worlds ban as traitors to their country, while
the inner motives which actuate them are
those Of patriotic devotion to the Union. il
the Onion, with their rights under it, can
both be maintained. sIs
That the rabid disunionists Of South
Carolina were discomtted at Montgomery,
is evident from the character Of the pro-
gramme which they put forth in their jour-
mails prior to the meeting Of the Convention,
and from the opposition they made to the
plan finally settled on, in advance Of its
adoption. The correspondence Of the
Charleston Mercury, whose editor. BARN.
WELL RHETr. is delegate from South Car
olina, denounced the Mississippi scheme Of
appointing provisional President and Vice
President, as part Of the policy Of recon-
structing the Union. The Mercury predicted
that, if this were accomplished, along with
the balance Of the Mississippi programme,
South Carolina would be obliged in few
years to fight the battle Of secession over
again, as they would have secured by the
present movement only change Of masters.
The Mississippi scheme having been adopted,
in all its parts, we have the authority Of the
prime.mover Of secession for asserting that
heSouthern movement, in its present hands,
is really q movement for reconstruction
instead Of disintegration, for Union rather
than disunion. As already stated, / believe
events will prove this prediction to be cor
rect. And, assuming its truth, the duty of
the North, to whose prosperity the Union
is Of paramount Importance, is clearly to
unite in proAering terms Of conciliation.
(" Unionp must be the rallying cry Of pa
triots everywhere, henceforth.
You have already been advised Of the
failure, in the House, to secure an appro-
priation for the Northern Overland Mail
Route to the Pacific. This matter was
first introduced, session before last, by
Senator RICE, and its passage secured
through the Senate, with only four votes in
opposition. Last session, an appropriation
of 100000 year for six years, was pro-
vided for in the mail route bill, for the
Northern route, aad its passage obtained
through the Senate, without dissenting
vote. 1t was not acted on in the House,
then, but was taken up fortnight ago, as
q part of the unfinished business of the pre-
vious session. The bill passed, with this
appropriation for our Northern mail route
stricken out. Our Republican members
in that body had not influence enough to
retain clause for our benefit which had
been twice adopted by the Senate, and which
would have been of the highest benefit to
our people. Thus are our most vital inter-
ests continually sacrificed to the everlasting
nigger. Our Republican members are full
of nigger-and when they are brought in
competition, the interests of the white man
are always held subservient to those of the
black. Haven't we had enough of Repub-
lican representation, in State and nation I
Or is it the will Of the people that mawkish
philanthropy should always, as it does now,
take precedence Of all our real, material
interests ? E.s q.

A0ofsds correspondence OF the Fto1ser and Democrat
WASHINGTON, February l3.
I ventured to extract hope for the resto.
ration Of the Union, from the action Of the
Seeding States Convention in the election
of DAVIS and STEPHENS to the Presidency
and Vice Presidency Of the Cotton Confed-
GRAFTON. The struggle in that Convention
was between Mississippi and South Caro-
lima and the policy of Mississippi has
been adopted. A permanent government
has not been inaugurated, but only provi-
sional one; and whatever steps may be
taken in giving their movement a lasting
shape, it is certain that it will remain for q
year, or so, on temporary basis. This is
in accordance with JEFFERseN DAVIS
scheme for Reconstruction and I am con-
vinced that what ever may be regarded
satisfactory by the Border Slave States,
will be ultimately accepted BY those of the
Gulf.
It is plain, that, although South Carroll
ma initiated secession, she has not been per
mitted to guide its course. When the con
servative Union men of the other Gulf
States saw that secession was inevitable,
under the impulse of the political tornado
which was sweeping over the South, instead
Of bopelessIy opposing it, and leaving it
under the control Of rash, impracticable
men. they assumed its leadership. for the
purpose of guiding their erring Common
wealths back to their old allegiance when
the storm Of passion had subsided. This is,
unqusstionahly, the policy Of those who
have obtained the direction of affairs 10 Q
majority Of the seeding States. In this
view, these men, though nominally placing
themselves and their sections 10 an attitude
of rebellion against the government, are not
Justly ihs sa.jects OF harsh Remuneration.
