INDICTMENT OP EX-SECUETAUV
FLOYD.
It will be seen by our dispatches from
Washington that the Grand Jury of Hie
District Court have taken initiatory steps
looking to the indictment of that arch
traitor and swindler, John B. Floyd. There
are three distinct charges enumerated in
the indictment, and they will 'probably be
acted upon Ity the Grand Jury to-day.
KANSAS ADMITTED,
The Uousc of Representatives yesterday
agreed to the Senate’s amendment to the
Kansas admission bill by a decided vole,
and it only wants the signature of the
President lo make it a law. That it will
undoubtedly have.
SECESSION AT OCR ROOR.
The bill now before the Legislature to
amend our City Charter, changes the lime
for holding the Municipal election from
March to May, and provides that the pres
ent City officers shall hold over until their
successors shall have been elected.. Mayor
Wentworth docs not like tliis, and he
threatens to get up a piece of practical
secession here at home, by vacating, or se
ceding from, the office on the 19th
day of March. We are not aware that
his honor will encounter ary very vio
lent opposition should he undertake to
carry his threat into execution, or that
the people will be inconsolable on
account of his retirement. The secret
of the matter, is this: Wentworth wants
the public to believe that he has been liv
ing up to the motto, “Liberty and Econo
my'” during his municipal year; and as he
lias been kiting over to his successor in
office a large amount of indebtedness which
he ought to have paid or provided for, a
continuance in his office until May would
throw his own sins upon his own shoulders,
and his precious system of humbuggery
would be exposed. Having set this nice little
trap for his successor,he has no idea ofbeing
caught in it liimself; therefore he declares
he will not meet the responsibility of his
own acts, but will leave the office on the
19th of ilarch.
In regard to this indebtedness which he
is kiting over to the next administration, a
large proportion of It is due to the poor la
boring men of the city. These men, Went
worth has put off -with city scrip, payable
the Ist of May next, bearing ten per cent
interest. Meanwhile, the Wcnlvrorlhiun
system of kiting luring placed the city
credit at a low ebb, the poor laborers have
gone on tbc street with their scrip and sold
it for whatever they could get—say from
sixty-five to eighlyuicols on the dollar.
Had it not been in the power of the city
to have raised the money for these men,
there would be some apology' for thus
cheating them out ot a portion of their
wages. But there is no such plea to
be urged. P. F. W. Peck, Esq., we are
credibly informed, offered to lend the mon
ey to the city to pay its workmen, at ten
per cent, interest; but as it would have ex
ploded tbc Mayor's favorite humbug to
have performed this honest act towards la
boring m»n, he refused to accept the pro
position. The city, therefore, is saddled
with an additional amount of interest, for
all of the scrip that Ims been issued is da
ted back, while those who have labored for
it have been practically cut down in their
wages by the shave they have been com
pelled to submit to on,the scrip.
3lr. Wentworth’s “economy” costs the
city an immense amount of money'. In tbc
first year ot bis Mayoralty he destroyed
one hundred thousand dollars in bends,
and the debt for which they would have
provided, at seven per cent, interest, has
been kited along ever since at a much
higher rate. Again, in the second year ol
3lr. Haines 1 administration, lie prevented
the issue of tbc same amount of bonds*
kiting that additional debt also; and in this
second year of his own administration, be
has not issued that amount of bonds, and
so the debt goes kiting. Here are three
hundred thousand dollars of our floating
indebtedness, all cf which is kited from
year 1o year on s»ch terms as can
be made, costing the city, annually, we are
told, but little, if any, shprt of sixteen per
cent per annum. If the bonds had been
issued in accordance with the city charter,
but which was prevented by theWent
worlhian policy, the ralo of interest would
only be seven per cent. What with this
additional nine per cent interest on three
hundred thousand dollars, the extra inter
est upon the scrip issued during Ills present
administration by Wentworth, and the
amount lost upon that scrip by those to
whom it was paid, we arc slfe in saying
that the city has never had so expensive
an administration as the present one, not
withstanding the Common Council has
refused to order any improvements what
ever. No wonder Wentworth desires to
secede. It is quite time.
TUB CITY CHARTER.
There are now two bills before the Leg
islature, or there will be two before to
morrow, for amending our City Charier.
One of these bills has been placed before
the readers of the Tiuduse, and if we may
judge of public opinion from the uniform
expression that has come to our own cars,
we arc safe in saying that, in the main, ii
gives general satisfaction. There arc a
few provisions'which may require addi
tional guards and restrictions against the
abase of power, a very few which, perhaps,
had better be omitted entirely, such, for
example, as taking from the people the
right of electing the City Attorney, and
conferring upon the Mayor the power of
appointing that officer. Some of the first
named objections, we learn, have already
been obviated in committee, and additional
study of the bill by those who are giving
their attention to the subject, wc doubt not
will make it entirely acceptable to the
great Trias* of our citizens.
The other bill emanates from Mayor
Wentworth. For some reason best known
to himself, lie has kept it back until the
middle of the session of the Legislature,
and at ibis late day he. has sent it to
Springfield without permitting the people
to know anything of its contents. It has
not yet appeared in his own paper, nor has
he submitted it to a public meeting of the.
citizens. We thought the framers of the
other bill had failed in this Tespect; but'
they have done infinitely better than Mr.
Wentworth, for they had theirs introduced
at the beginning of the session of the Legis
lature, and bad it printed and presented to
the people of Chicago some days ago.
Apropos to this matter, wc present the fol
— lowing communications; ; -.'.V.
Editors Chicago ‘..i
1 perceive that the Aldermen of Chicago have
|*eld a special session for the purpose of bear-
VOLUME XIV.
Ing read certain amendments to the city Char
ter prepared by Hr. Wentworth, in which he
contemplates a change of the Boards of Water
and Sewerage Commissioners, tho erection of
a Board of Public Works, and an enabling act
to borrow at least half a million dollars, a
change in the manner of electing the City At
torney, abolishing the office of Treasurer,
creeling a new office of Auditor, providingfor
£ clllng tb e City Hospital, &c. ,&c., and yet in his
his message calls them 11 only restrictive <unend
mentx." It does not appear that these amend
ments are to be printed and laid before our
citizens for their examination. They may be
all right, but no man is sufficient to take upon
himself the responsibility of getting'np a law
and procuring its passage through the State
Legislature, affecting so materially the intcr-
of our city, without first submitting the
same to public inspection. Indeed, judging
by the lalencsa.of its production, by the once
reading the same in the Council, and not lay
ing it over and printing, which,by the Charter,
any one Alderman had thcright to demand, —it
would seem as though this was exactly what
was intended, that the great mass of the com
munity, the tax-pay ora of the city, are to be
treated as not worthy of any consideration In
the matter.
Now, for one, I protest against It, and_ de
mand of onr members of the Legislature that
they' suffer no amendment or alteration of our
City Charter to be passed until after it has
been submitted to the public.
A Tax-Pater.
Editors Tribune
While the new City Charter which yon hare
published contains many provisions worthy of
adoption, it embraces some ■which ought not
to pass without notice. Among these wc may
note:
1. That Section CS gives to the Board of Pob’
lie Works unlimited power of taxation with
out appeal or redress. The rate has heretofore
been limited to two percent for special as
sessments, and to three per cent for all taxes
for each year. Do the people of Chicago de
sire such a change 5
2. Section 34 gives said Board the right to
grant permits to use the streets in any man
ner. Under this permission the right maybe
granted to lay down a railroad track in any
rt reel in the city, and keep it there forever,
with no appeal nor redress.
5. Section 1 adds Bridgeport and Holstein to
the city. Do tbc inhabitants of those places
or the citizens of Chicago desire the city lim
its to be changed, and if so when did they de
mand it?
4. If alterations in these points arc to be
irntdc, will our representatives at Springfield
see that it be submitted to a vote of the peo
ple, or will they put It in force “from and af
ter its passage,” as provided in Sec. Bth ?
By colling attention to these points you will
much oblige A Tax Payee.

ABOUT COMinSSIONEBS TO WAsmyoioif.
Gov. Tates received on Saturday last dls-,
patches from the Governors of one or more
Slates, consulting him in regard to the pro
priety of sending a committee of five from
each State, to be appointed by the Governor
thereof, to meet in Washington early inFebru
’ary. Gov. Yates gave an emphatic negative to
the proposition, so lar as he was concerned,
and In doing so he is snpposcdtohavc reflected
the opinions of Mr. Lincoln cither expressed
or Implied. The movement Is said to hare
originated in Tennessee.
The Journal this morning states that Mr.
Lincoln, together with his family, will leave
herein route for Washington on the 11th of
February, proceed to Indianapolis, Columbus,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Albany, New York,
Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Baltimore, and
arrive at Washington by the 20th. We learn
In addition to this,' that he will be accompa
nied by Col. Edward V. Sumner of the first
Cavalry, and Major Hunter of fit. Louis, both
oftbc U. S. Army, hence to Washington.
The country will be glad to learn that Mr.
Lincoln is looking remarkably well and that
he Is In fine health and spirits. No decision
will be inadeas to who else than Messrs. Sew
ard and Bates will compose the Cabinet until
his arrival at Washington. Great regret Is ex
pressed among Bepnblicans at the condition cf
affaire fh Ohio, wjdch is likely to prevent Mr.
Chase's taking the Treasmyshlp under Mr.
Lincoln.
q p.jl—Members are returning to-night In
•such numbers as to pretty nearly insure a quo
rum to-morrow morning.
PLEWPO^EOM
Gen. Jno. B. Rogers of Tcnn. came here to
day, He brings letters to Mr. Lincoln, and la
to have an interview to-morrow morning. The
declared object of his mission is to represent
the state of public .sentiment ta Tennessee,
and pledge It to the Union, which he does with
cmx»batic terseness. The supposition is that
he comes to suggest the name of some one of
the patriots of that State for a Cabinet appoint
ment.
A LEGISLATIVE ESCOET.
A project seems to be gaining ground here,’
to-day, no less than that the General Assembly
of Illinois will, in a body, accompany Mr.
Lincoln as tarlasTndianapoHs. The commit

SECOND DISPATCH.
Washinotox, Jan. ST.
LOUISIANA.
The secession of Louisiana excites no eur
irise. It was fully expected. Slidell .and
ienjamin will leave to morrow.
MARYLAND.
The action of Gov. Hicks in appointing
Commissioners on the part of Maryland to the
4ih of February Conference, is violently re
sisted by the secessionists, who say he has ex
ceeded his powers. There will be a severe
contest in that State shortly.
VIRGINIA SECESSIONISTS.
A counter manifesto against the Virginia
Secessionists will shortly bclssncdby Critten
den, Douglas, Million,' Harris, Clemens, and
others,stating that at no time during the pres
ent Congress lias the prospect for an adjust
ment of onr difficulties been so bright as at
the present moment _ '
MARYLAND COMMISSIONERS.
The Commissioners appointed by Gov-Hicks
of Maryland, in response to the invitation of
Virginia for a Conference on the 4th of of Feb
ruary, are all well-known conservatives.
FORT PICKENS.
News from Port Pickens Is awaited with
much anxiety. It is believed that an immedi
ate attack would be mode as soon as the des
tination of the Brooklyn should be known.
A TRAITOR DISCHARGED.
A man named Marlin employed In the
Wellington .Navy Yard, has been discharged
for divulging certain military secrets to con
federates iu Virginia.
GROW’S RESOLUTIONS OP INQUIRY.
The House became considerably excited
yesterday on Crow’s motion, instructing the
Commlctee of Five to inqnire whether any
organization hostile to the Government exists
in ihc District of Colombia. A fierce debate
ensued, in which Mr* Ktmklc of Maryland de
clared that such a resolution was a reflection
on his State. It finally passed.
It is understood there Is abundant evidence
to show tbc existence of such a conspiracy.
FLOYD’S RESIGNATION.
Floyd’s indictiflcnt surprises no one. WhQe
Governor of Virginia, it is said, he was noted
for loose conduct, and it can be shown that he
obtained large profits on contracts awarded by
him to Government contractors.
[Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.]
Wasbinoton, Jan. 27, 166 L
Gov. Moreau’s (N. Y.) recommendation to
appoint Commissioners to meet Moiyhmdand
Virginia hcrcou February 4th, excites great
hopes, among Union men. Also, Rhode
Island’s repeal of its Personal Liberty bill, is
hnllod as a good omen. - -
Saturday's proceedings in the House were
not very Important; bat there was a signifi
cant Union speech from Gilmer of North Caro
lio a higblv lair and conciliatory. The dispo
sition to do something is spreading among
Republicans. The New Mexico proposition
may pass. If it gets through the House, it is
said that Crittenden, who despairs of his reso
lutions, will support it in tbc Senate.
The news from Virginia Is very encouraging.
Letters received here this morning say that
the Union feeling is increasing hourly. Even
in Eastern Virginia, Union poles have been
erected.
The Post Office Department has sent letters
to leading postmasters in seceding States, ask
ing whether they will hold themselves respon
sible to this Government for the postage col
lected. Those wbq answer la the negative
will have their offices discontinued.
Last night a private conference of about for
ty of tbc most prominent conservative men
from all parts of the country took place at the
Columbian Hotel. A free interchange of opin
ion was bad, and concert of action determined
npon, which may materially improve the as-
Eect of political Affairs, ‘ Lots on Capitol Hill
arc been rented by Scoit for erecting quarters
and stabling for cavalry from West Point
Tbc sloop of war Brooklyn, with two artil
lery companies from Fort Monroe on board,
soiled on Thursday afternoon with scaled or
ders, probably for Pensacola. A portion of
the home squadron at Very Cmr has also been
ordered home, probably for the same plase.
Breckinridge has constituted the special
Senate.Committee on Morrill’s Tariff bill, so
as to give one majority to the Protectionists,
thus securing a report in fhvor of the bill. It
wiU come up this week.
It la still confidentlyassertedbythosc claim
ing to know, that Lincoln will issue some
manifesto, intended to give peace to the coun
try after the counting of the Electoral votes.
The Boston Union Committee called on Sew
ard, who expressed himself hopcfhl of a set
tlement which will allay sectional animosities.
Six States will be represented in the Southern
Secession Convention at Montgomery, Ala.,
February 4th. It will probably adjourn to
.meet February 251h, so as to give time to Vir
ginia and other States to join the movement.
This Is a good sign, as every delay helps kill
secession. The continued firm and patriotic
course of Gov. Hicks, who stands is a break
water between Maryland and disunion, excites
tbc warmest admiration of all lovers of the
country, and draws down npon him the fierce
wrath of the secessionists. . r
Acting Postmaster-General King writes to
John C. Noble, Postmaster of Paducah, Ky.,
that the reason of his removal was he hod an
nounced himself devoutly in favor-of disunion:
and it Is not considered prudent to retain in
sendee of the Government, men openly seek
ing lis overthrow. Noble was one of Holt's
appointments and removed by him some
weeks since. The same rate 1b to be applied
elsewhere. Kentucky dls unionists. Breckin
ridge, Powell, Stevenson, Burnett, <sc., are ta
ken aback by the reluctant disposition of the
Legislature. ‘
The dlsunionists ore working hard. Holt
is scared, and la making all preparatioaß to
defend the Capitol. New Orleans Is to be de
clared a free port. The European Govern
ments are expected to recognize Its indepen
dence. The United States never can consent.
A clerk in the Land Office, named Hcaston,
of OWo, resigned some time ago. Five, one
hundred and sixty acre land warrants, in bis
charge, are missing. Three other warrants,
in charge of another clerk, discharged yester
day, are also missing. Floyd’s easels terrible.
The amount of Ms acceptance is enormous.
Some are now due in New. England Banks,
belonging to manufacturing people.’ Mont
gomery's proposition to Congress to resign
amounts to nothing.: '

Constitution as they are, and opposed to all farther
concessions of Freedom to Slavery, wDI be held at
.Metropolitan Trail, on Tuesday evening, the SOth
Inst, commencing at 7# o'clock;
At ameeting of the Committee, held last evening,
the following action was takes. It was unani
mously decided
To adhere to the strict terms of the call, and
opcu the discussions of the evening to no speaker
over thibtt years of age.
The galleries are to be strictly reserved for ladles
and gentlemen with ladles.
The platform is to be reserved for those designed
to be included in the call, and it is desired that all
each phnll procure and wear the "Union Cockade.”
An efficient police force wlB attend to preserve
order throughout the evening.
Adequate preparation, will be made to facilitate
the receiving of signatures to the resolutions and
action to be adopted.

The Young fiten’w Meeting.
The adjourned meeting of the young men #f
our city takes place at Metropolitan Hall this
evening. The following Is the original call
which received the signatures of over two hun
dred young men:
* Wx, the undersigned, believing our country la
danger, our Insulted, and the Constitution vi"
elated, call upon the Yonng Men of Chicago, of the
age of thirty years, and under, who arc opposed to
all concessions and compromises of Freedom to
Slavery, to meet with ns at Metropolitan Hah, on
Friday Evening, January 25th, 1861, for the pur
pose of inaugurating a movemsnt for the organi
zation of the Yonng men of the Nation In defence
of the Constitution and the Union as they are.
The meeting which resulted from the call
entirely filled the Hall, ond waa a most enthu
siastic and stirring aflidr throughout. The
lateness of the hour to which the speaking
was carried rendered an adjournment necessa
ry, it being deemed desirable to follow the res
olutions adopted, by some form of organiza-.
tlon. It will be seen by the call that the pre
parations are to be made for this, to-night
In the published rail of the Committee of
Arrangements it will be seen that the galleries
arc to be reserved for ladles, and there doubt
less will be few vacant seats.
An adequate police force Is to be in attend
ance to preserve the strictest order.
One word of- suggestion os to the speeches
this evening: Bb short. If yon have your
speech written, as no one but yourself need
know you have, time yourself and see how
much yon. can read read aloud in ten mlnntCA;
two-thirds of that amount will be enough.
It will be seen that the Committee decide,
and properly, to restrict the age of the speak,
ers to the terms of the coll; this will be pretty
sure to bring out a new class of speakers for
this occasion.
A Good Suggestion.—A correspondent sug
gests, as the time for advertising houses to
rent for tho ensuing year is near by, that the
lessors append to their -notices the amount of
rent they wish to obtain. There is oo reason
why this shonld not be done, and it will save
many persons the time and fatigue incident to
long walks about the city to obtain informa
tion which could be given them In one line in
the papers. In this way one can see at a
glance whether bouse of a certain description,
at a certalq named rent, wlll anit him circum
stances. It will manifestly be as much for
the Interest of landlord as tenant.
Cosmopolitan Abt Association. —Wo have
been informed by Mrs. M. J. Greene, the
agent for this Association, that In consequence
of the excitement in New York, caused by the
secession movements, which bare disarranged
afiairs somewhat, especially in the Southern
States, the distribution of prizes has been post
poned until sometime In March, due notice of
which will be given through the press. Those

Tbe State Fair Grounds*
Editors Tribune: £• ’
Althoogh the merits of case may be pre
sumed to be pretty well tmderstood, by this
time, the oiosing Mr.' Gage's re
cent communication, relative to the location
of onr next State Fair, if not meant in a spirit
of dictation to yourselves, i*a touching your
mode of conducting your columns, certainly
looks to farther discussion,?lt may he as well
to point out briefly one or two important tacts,
judiciously omitted by Mr. Gage, and, further,
to suggest a simple solution of the difficulty
be advances. r
First, then, the Fair should not be located
at Brighton In preference to Cottage Grove,
for that* In spite of Mr. G’s Ingenious mode of.
measurement, he himself admits the distance
to the former Is something over two miles
more than to the latter, token, even, ns he sug
gests, from the corner of iMadlson & South
Clark fits., instead of the Horse Ballway depot
comer of Randolph ond State Sts., or the Cen
tral depot—points which make the distance, in
the one case double, and i& the other more
than twice as for to Brighton as to Cottage
Grove, yielding, however, of distance
as one of comparative minor importance, let
me consider the character oClhe approaches to
the two localities. That at cjfighton Is ifaarked
on; the. St Louis & Alton, (taut as six miles
from their depot at Madison fit Bridge, West;
following this track to its crossing with the C.-
B, & Q., we cross no less *than seven other
tracks, connecting with Innumerable switches,
and on which at the time of ‘.my visit, this a.
m., there were seven engine* switching, back
ing ynflHng up trains, &C.J&C. Let me ask
what guarantee there is against indefinite de
tention at these points, to? irregular trains,
running every half hour, they would have
to during Fair week—to say nothing of the
danger of collision and accidents, infi
nitely increased by the increase of inrcgnlar
trains. Then, too, it most? be remembered
that there is but one track op the Alton road;
and what arrangement could be made to run
trains both ways every half hourorionc track*
lam not informed. .. .
Contrast this with the spacious Central
Depot, Us double track and Splendid appoint
ments; and then, remembering'the severe tax
made even upon these, bjb the hosts who
thronged the National Fair,'decide if a single
track road under such disadvantages, crossing
three draw bridges, which,ibeing low, must
open at the approach of* every canal boat, and
with its depot remote and inaccessible to nine
tenths of the Fair visitors,f decide if It give
even partial satisfaction. .
This is said in no spirit of depreciation of
the Alton road, which, nndgr its present able
management, Is fully the of any road
running out of Chicago, in its legitimate sphen*
But' I think very few will bo found ignorant
enough to assume that it -amid successfully
compete, in an extraordlnaryymergeDcy, with
the resources of that boast of the Northwest
—the Illinois Central. Ami I very much
doubt, indeed, if its. management would be
found, on consultation, offer due considera
tion, willing to guarantee the result of such
an undertaking. In truth, the extent of their
facilities. may be Inferred from Mr. Gage’s
statement, that "they can carry three thousand
passengers each hour of the day, and have
agreed to do so at ten cent* fare each way.”
Let ns get the value of this proposition. Visi
tors commence going to the Fair at about 10
o’clock, and continue till about 2—say till 3,
though the number admUted T aflcr 3 o’clock is
inconsiderable. This gives five hours to carry
visitors to the Fair in. The average daily at
tendance at the National Fair was 40.000 per
sons; and on Thursday was CO,OOO. Will Sir.
Gage kindly compute lor moTat what hourtbe
last “3,000 passengers, at tcaiccnts fare each
way” would arrive at the grounds, if the first
3,000 started ot-10 o'clock, juft his cars made
hourly trips? If my Daboll Is reliable,the
last detachment who went to see the memora
ble Zouave drill on Thursday afternoon, if de
pendent on Mr. G’s conveyance, would have
arrived about 6 o’clock on Friday morning
early enough, certainly—for next day—but
literally **aaay alter the Fair/* for Thursday.
Of the merits of Michigan, Wabash and In
diana Avenues with all the advantages of fine,
elegant buildings, fine lake views and breezes,
and the shade and foliage of the grove Itself;
and of the character of its surroundings, the
white gleaming pile of the Baptist University,
the yellow shore of the noble lake, the cool
ness and shelter of Us grand old trees, and the
accomodations hard by, I do not propose to
more than speak. The contrast between' this
and the blank open prairie at Brighton, with
the torrid sun oi'September beaming down oil
the sweltering crowd, who, with flushed laces
and gasping for breath, listlessly watch the
panting cattle and horses, stung almost
to madness by the heat and flies, or
anxiously thronging the 'suffocatingly
crowded platform, await their inflntesimal
opportunity for a seat in the train, bud in
wardly wondering “what people see in Fairs
to make such a lass about,” or anathematize
their stars and eyes for being such blank fools
as to come. This contrast Is too painful to
wish to see it realized, and yet, in all serions
ness, I have no doubt but it will bo if the
location is carried to Brighton. J.
Highland Guard#—Volunteer Hove-
'Editors Tribune—Dear Bms:—Now that
it Is a settled fact that the Highland andShlelds
Guards have actually tendered their services in
defence of the Constitution and enforcement
of the laws, in case of necessity, there areafew
things I wish to state in connection with the
former company, (Highland Guards), and
which I believe arenot generally known to the
community. There appears to be aa antipathy
among our young men to the ‘‘kilt” with
which this company was formerly, uniformed.
Now, Sirs, this company hold themselves in
readiness to adopt the uniform provided for ia
the Militia Bill at present before the StateLeg
ielature. The company will hereafter drill ;as
light Infantry, with McClellan’a bayonet exer
cise. They have heretofore drilled as Heavy
Infantry, Scott tactics. The officers ot the
company hold themselves in readiness to re
sign, and take their place in the ranks, so soon
as the company is placed npon a good footing,
. when there will be a general election for offi
cers. • . '

We are entering upon a year tbat will be memorable
In the aosale of American politics. The Fire-Eaten ol
the Cotton States have undertaken to break nptbe
American Union, because they are notaQowcd forever
to rale it. The people barifUecldedat the ballot-box, to
have the Federal Government administered according
to the precept* and policy of the Fathers; and In strict
accordance with the Constitution they have elected a
President to execute their wDL The slave-holding oli
garchy refuse to submit, and have proclaimed their
purpose to disrupt the Confederacy unless their de
mands shall be immediately complied with, which em
brace the following polnta:
• Dkvajtds or mi Fiejs-Ej,tkbs.—lst, That the people
of the North shall give up their convictions that Slave
ry ta wboko, and profess to believe that It Is morally
and politically luctrr. 2d. That the Constitution shall
be so construed at to recognize property In Man, and
thereby Nationalize the institution of American Slave
ry. SO. That the Free States shall nay for all fugitives
from labor vrbo may escape. 4th, That all State laws
against kidnapping shall be repealed. Sth. That Slave
ry shall be extended Into all tne Territories and pro
tected by a Federal Slave Code. 6th, That the Slave
frame snail bo re-open<xl in the District of Columbia,

slaveholders to'travel and sojourn lo the Free btates,

In case of non-compliance with these terns, the Fire-
Eaters threaten to secede from the Union, and s«t op a
Southern Confederacy, re-open the African Slave
Trade, and attempt to found a great slave-holding em
pire. by absorbing Mexico. Central America and the
Islands of the Gmt SnchistheprogrammeoftheDls
