The Peace Conference.

From very good authority, we are salts
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.
There 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 dissatisfac-
ton of the people:
We believe that all non-seceding States ex-
cept Maine and Minnesota, have sent dele
gates. We regard it matter of regret that
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 SO patriotic movement. Our Legis-
ture has certainly done itself no honor in the
course it has pursued in the matter. x
Certainly body of such men as Gov. Chase
and Thomas Ewing of Ohio, David Wimot, Of
Pennsylvania, Dudley Field, of New York, and
Gov, Hall, of Vermont can recognize and be-
come members OF, is not of so bad a character
as to place in jeopardy to any great extent the
integrity and +" backbone" of Minnesota Re-
publicans.

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, if
the Union, with their rights under it, can
both be maintained.
That the rabid disunionists of South
Carolina were discounted 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
DINA, 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 a change ofmasters.
The Mississippi scheme having been adopted,
in all its parts, we have the authority Of the
prime.mover of secession for asserting that
the Southern movement, in its present hands,
is really a movement for reconstruction
instead of disintegration, for Union rather
than disunion. As already stated, l 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 proffering terms of Cancellation.
"Union !" 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 a dissenting
vote. 1t was not acted on in the House,
then, but was taken up fortnight ago, as
a 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
niger. 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 =?
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 ? esq.

EDITORIAL Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat
WASHINGTON. Feb. IL.
The federal capital never presented
more sombre aspect than now. Not, in.
deed, in its more outward appearance, for
the weather is delightfully."- balmy; but the
chill resting upon the hearts of the people
produces gloom which even the genial sun
is powerless to dissipate. Every one wears
an anxious expression. The sole topic of
talk is the condition of the country and
all speculation is directed to schemes for the
preservation of what remains to us, and for
the restoration of what we have lost Nor
is this speculation, inquiring and anxious,
confined to the members of any political
party or section. Noble, patriotic men,
Republicans as well as Democrats, from the
South as we'll as the North, in disregard of
partizan or sectional animosities. unite with
heart and soul, and every faculty of mind
and body, to save at least that which is left
of the glorious old Union. Only the ultra
Republicans, unhappily majority, and the
rabid Secessionists, stand aloof, and seem
willing, if not DESTROYS, that the Republic
should 60 to utter destruction.
While, however, thick darkness seems to
overshadow the land, I think rays of light
and hope beam upon US, both from the
North and the South. The Republican
party, whose success on sectional grounds
has been made the occasion for the disrup-
ton of the country, is, like the country, dis
rupted itself. Under the lead of SEWARD,
CAMERON, WEED, KELLOGG, and others,
whose hearts are big enough to take in the
whole Republic and its interests, large
fraction of the Republicans will undoubt.
eddy before long, be found standing side by
side with the Democracy, in patriotic efforts
to reconstruct the Union. There in hope in
this. These men will be reviled, but the
Union will be ultimately saved. I think there
is promise, also, in the choice of DAVIS and
STEPHENS as President and Vice President
of the Southern Confederacy. Of STEPHENS
devotion to the Union there can be no doubt;
and DAVIS has, for the last six months,
shown himself the least ultra of the seces.
sion leaders. The Southern movement will
hereafter be under their control, and if they
are met in any spirit of Cancellation on the
part of the North, year hence will see the
Union reunited and prosperous. To this
end every man who has stake in the coun-
try, and any care for its interests and honor,
should labor, until harmony and its attend
ant blessings shall be restored to all parts of
our distracted country.
1t is hopeless race, when the mails
are backed against lightning, and so do
not write you of the details of legislation.
But, as l find matters which the lightning,
in its haste, will be apt to overlook, shall
jot them down, and let them drag their
slow length along, by mail and coach, to the
columns of the PIONEER. esq.

Editorial Correpondenceo of the Pioneer and Democrat
WASHINGTON, February IL.
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 lasting
shape, it is certain that it will remain for
year, or so, on temporary basis. This is
in accordance with JEFFERSON DAVIS
scheme for reconstruction and l am con-
WINGED that what ever may be regarded
satisfactory by the Border Slave States,
will be ultimately accepted by those of the
Gulf.
1t is plain, that, although South Carroll
ma initiated secession, she has not been per
mtted to guide its course. When the con
sentative Union men of the ether Gulf
States saw that secession was inevitable,
under the impulse of the political tornado
which was sweeping over the South, instead
OF hopelessly opposing it, and leaving it
under the control of rash, impracticabe
men, they assumed its leadership, for the
purpose of guiding their erring Common
wealths back to their old allegiance when
TIE storm of passion had subsidized. This is,
unquastionably, the policy of those who
have obtained the direction of affairs in
majority of the seeding States. In this
view, these men, though nominally placing
themselves and their sections in an attitude
of rebellion against the government, are not

: Tho withdrawal If Bishop Polk, Of the EpIs1

himself taken this oath. At the time he Was
