Til* litiuaaie "Oor Government Is io its theory a Oonsti iooal Republic. The ultitnnts decision npon the merits of principles, measures and men, is left to tbe people at the ballot box. Hitherto the voice of the people thus ex pressed in the selection of President to fid. minister the Government, and in tbe desig nation of hi* general line of policy, has been Ipoeptei by tfe# «oantr^ hi qoiei acquics •ease. Out now it seems all thin is to bo changed Hue party defeated at the ballot box reports to menace#, to treasonable plots and to se etssion io oader to reverse the verdict of the jHtople or break up the Government. Offi ©srs. high in the confidence of the President, have been plotting for months to bankrupt Ibe Treasury, supply arms for those who arc plotting forcible resistance to tbe laws, and Io put tbe forts of tbe country in such a de fenceless condition that they may be readily •sited by the enemies of the Government. -Then, in the midst of seenes like these, Itfrding Sonators of the opposition, not en gaged in these treasonable schemes for tbe disalution of tbe Union, such as Crittenden ud Douglas, instead of ndvoeatiug the en forcement of the laws and the suppression of rebellion against tbe Government, em brace tbe opportunity to attempt to coerce eoneessions by threats of civil war, of the ttry points which the people bad just decided •gainst them at the ballot-box and thereby tbey lend their aij and countenance to draw this country iuto the imitation of the prao* lice of tbe South American Republics.— First a decision at tbe ballot-box, then plots and countcr plots, to be followed—if the •necescful party at tbe eleetioa refuses lo •accumb—by open war. Let the Government yield now and sur Mnder to the nrmed secessionists, and thoso tbat are rendering them aid %TH1 comfort io Congress muy bs enabled to glory over the downfall of the Republican party, but they will have tr.u»'.it lemons which will sink this Government of ours into contempt, and will •timu'ate defeated parties atench succeeding •leothn to combine to wrest from the victor* t»jr arms what tbey lost by tbe suffrages of Ibe people. If Con?.reiii and the Qovernaent at Wash ington shoald surrender and concede tbe de pariis of the hos il^ secessionists nnd armed Iraitors of the South, this Government ceases fto be an eleotive Republic io which the WILL 4M THE raopL*, peaceably expressed at the Ifcallot box, is the ultimate test of authority. And to such a pass would the policy of those who boaste of their devotion to the Union and their determination to uphold tbe Constitution and enforce tbe laws bring this Government and that, too, in the fnoe of Iheir oft-repeated assertions that the se«e» •ioni*te have no sufficient or justifiable grounds for their conduct. £^"Senator Hunter made a speeoh io fa wor of secession. His idea is to let the Unioo go quietly to pieces, and then begirt the work of reconstruction—the oew govern* ateot to have a dual F.ieouttve. Senator Uarlno replied in a strong speech, •aying that tbe North was willing to stand by the Compromise of 1»50, which the South itself had suggested and carried through, tnd be laid that the Northwest waft deter tolned to keep, tbe mouth of tbe Mississippi Open.

Dooilas and the Democracy conteoded be* foro the election tbat vhe people of the Ter ritories have the inherent right to regulate their affaire in their own w«y. Since the election, however, they have tamed tail on this doctrine of tbe inbermt rights of tbe people, and propose, instead, to crush out the rights of tbe people of the Territories by forcing slavery upon those South of tbirty ejx thirty, and forcing freedom op fro those jNorth of that line. That "gur-reat principle," squelched by Dred Scottism and contemned by the Breck inridpsrs," has at length been inhumanly massaored by its unnatural father, and it* noiey advocates join in the bloody orgies of tbe sacrifice. What do Douglas politicians care for a principle, however great or sacred, that won't win The Duty of ili Donylaniies. Geo. C. Acheeon was cailed to preside over tho deliberations of an enthusiastic Union meeting, held at Fairfield, on the 8th of January. We make the following brief extraot from the address delivered by bim oo tbat occa sion on account of it* frank and fearless avowal of tbe plain duty of all patriotio citi ieos, of whatever political party, in tbe pres ent emergency Fellow-citisens, we are told that Ibis Con stitution and this Union are in danger, and if we can credit the news whioh fly daily with lightning speed along the wires, there is reason to fear. And here let me ask whence the danger—or rather let mo a«tk, and par ticularly ask of those who, with me, voted for Stephen A. Douglas—who oaused his defeat—who seoared tbe election of his-op ponent? 1 aver that it was done by the ac tion of those very men who now make the election of Lincoln a pretext for their en deavors to pull down and destroy the Gov ernment made by our fathers. Secession commenced at Charleston in the Democratic Convention, when these very men, although in a minority, said virtually to that Conven tion, unless you submit to our diotation we will recede—we will break down the time honored Democratic party and tbey did it, anil thus secured the election of Abraham Lincoln us President of the United States and now, my friends, that election having been regular and constitutional, I aver that it is the duty of every loyal citizen to insist up^n hi* inaugnration into that office. Kut, fellow-citiiena, it is said that we are o n e v e e o v i w a o o i it! God forbid it N»Xt to the total destruction of our Government, 1 consider civil war tbe worst evil that could bffal u*. flow i* this calamity to be averted? The wisest headu in this nation are now engnged in endeavors to solve this question, and perhaps it ill-be comes me, an humble citizen, to advance an opinion. Nevertheless I have an opinion, mid 1 here avow it: Before God, I believe the safest and surest way to prevent our ex cited brethren in the Sooth from resurting to force, i* to prepare to meet them on tbat ba/i* the unarmed man invites attack, whilst he who is prepnred to meet bis adversary, keeps hira at buy. to freeman, lam now ex'rcising —fr«"dom of sp-uch—freedom of speeoh on all subjects, 1 dire uot what, and 1 pray find the ivnmy soon eojue when this gr*nt blessing muy be enjoyed as securely in Hjutoa and JScw Ux leur.s as it is to-day in Iowa. And now, fellow-oitifns, traat in this Union Me-ung we \y all bo of one mind, that our hearts mnv bent together in uni*on, and that we may here to-night say to the world, ciltniy and dispassionatelv, but (irmly, that we lov# with undying devotion the Con stitution nnd the Union as our fathers framed ?hf~m, and tbat we will love and defend tbem forever. trsM Waiitlugton.

Tolbot reports that the condition of Ft. Sumter is not so favorable as wue be lieved by the Government. 27 guns are mounte in the first and third tiers, and they Jro mounting others. The second tier of t'ltibriuures are blocked up. Tho Fort,* be thinks, can hold out for two months with tho present supplies, there being plenty of fuel and good water. The statement of abu- dunt supplies, were probably made by (he officers, to quiet the a^ prphmsious of their friends. Mwjor Anderson's brother haa repeatedly stated thut thefupplie* wire abundant. It is said that tbe Administration is deter- mined to send supplies at all hazards, and it is reported to-day that the Brooklyn will go on Morris Island without crossing the bar, while another steamer esoorte the Star of the W est to Ft.

It Is probable that the Mississippi delega tion will formally retire from Congress to morrow. Lieut. Talbott has arrived here with dis patches from Maj. Anderson to the Govern ment.

Seward'* proposed apecch attracted evetybody to tbe Senats Chamber. The following is tbe botch tbe telegraph make* of it: Mr. Seward said. Congress f« tssembled this winter in the pres uioo of darangenu-ot of business, and in tbe disturbance of pub 1 io as well an private oredit, and in the faoe of seditious combinations to overthrow tbe i Union. The Union is nut more tho body than liberty i* the soal of the nation. lie avowed bin adherence to tho Union, and it* integrity in all it* party with my friends, with niy party, with my State, with my coun try, or w itbout either, n:i they may deter-' mine in every event, whether of pesce or! war with every consequence of honor ordia-! honor, life or death. After saying tbe Union cannot be aaved by mutual recrimination or tbe oontiouanoe of debnt.» on tbe constitutional wer of Congress over Slavery n the Territoriea, or diacuffting the right uf the Federal (govern ment to coerce seeding States into obe dience, I e suid if this Union is to go on tbe latter question will give way to a more prac tical one: whether many seceding Mates have a right to coerce the remaining bers to acqoiesoe iu dissolution, llo op pmed civil war did not know what tbe i Union wouid be worth if preserved by tbe aword, yet said be did not agree with those who d'Viro to avert th calamity, who advise! conventional or unopp'^ ul separation, or what they call a reconstruction of the Union. The Union can be dis*-lved, not by seoes sion, but by the voluntary consent of tbo people of the United Sfates. Congress ought Dot to remain impasoive it ought, if it can, to redress any reul grierunceaof tho offended Mates, and then ought to supply tbe Prcsi ifapt with all means nroeisary to preserve the Union in full exhibition and disoreot ex ercise of bia authority., lievon i this, with proper activity OQ the part of tbe Executive, tho responsibility of f^ing the Union be longs to the people ao 1 tbey arc abundantly coup :toi.t to difobarg it. lieurgued at length on tbe advantages of the Uuion and the eff'e us of disunion, from all poiots of view.

He denied tbat tho Rcpublioans perverted power for tbe nurpose of oppression, for tbey never hela power. After further remurks he said be agreed that an concerned tho bondsmen, tbe laws of the State within which a man is property are supreme, and tbat on bis escape to another State the Constitution regards bim a bonds i mun who shall be delivered, on oiuim, to the pirty to whom his service is due. While I thinking acts of Congress on the subject' should be modified to proteot freemen being! carried into slavery, he agrees that all the laws of States, free or slave, relating to this class of persons, contravening the Constitu tion of tbe Unised States, ought to be re pealed, and was willing to vote for an amend ment to tbeConstitution that Congress should never have tbe power to abolish or interfere with slavery within the States. If Kanaas were admitted under tbe Wyandotte Consti tution and the organic laws of other Terri tories oould he repealed, he could vote to au thorize the admission of two new States which should include thorn, reserving tbe right to organize the subdivisions whenever necessary into several convenient State*, but he did not find that such reservations oould be constitutionally made* Without them the ulterior embarrassment would out weigh all tbe immediate advantages of suob a measure. 1 prefer, when the angry exoite ment of the House shall have subsided, one, two, or three year* hence, a convention of tbe people to decide wheth«r any and what amendments of the organio national law ought to be made, lie was ready to vote for any properly guaranteed law* to prevent mu tual invasions of tbe States by citizen* of other States and punish those who ahalt aid or abet them. Lastly, be was in favor of the Pacific Railrjad. Mr. Seward ooncluded by saying I shall cheerfully aoppOrt the Gov ernment in whatever prudent, yet energetic Liii u Thi» effort it shall mnke to preserve public peace Kwere and maintain the Union, advising only mod eration, foibearance and conciliation, and by expressing the conviction tbat the hour was not yet come for thi* great nation to fall. Woe, woe, to the man who lifts bia band against it 1 ft shall continue and endure, and men in after times shall declare tbat this generation which saved the Uniou from sudden and unlooked for dangers, surpassed in Hnicriificenae, even that otie which laid its foundation on the eternal prtootpieo ol lib erty, justice and humanity. £t?"\Ye learn from Washington tbat tbe retiring representatives from South Carolina sent back by tbe Commissioners, whom Mr. Buchanan wouldn't treat with, and collected a little stationery that was due them. This was the principal business transacted bv th^se plenipotentiaries. It appears that $25 worth of stationaery ia allowed to each member of the liouse. The South Carolina representatives wfre at Washington only three weeks, and, of course, did not use up tbeir allowance.
