THE END OF.THEXB FOLIC T.
Do the compromisers know what they
are jd, and what will be the result of their
labor If successful ? Let us tell them that
they frill convert the heretofore firm, sta
ble and reliable government pf-lRc. United
States into a mac-lime of the Mexican pat
tern ; and that when they succccdin estab

in au eleefon may revolutionise and se
cure from the majority, by the use of
threats, what they failed to obtain at the
polls, all order, all :• lability, and all secur;-
arc at attend." With that principle under
lying our political -organizations, no men
would invest a dfdlar in «aay business or
cnterprise/which extended beyond the next
Presidential election, because he could not
insure himself against loss as the conse
quence of the political revolution and mon
etary crisis that would follow that result.
Ko man would build .a ship, in

flourish in the society which the compro

up. Those men do not stop -to remember
that -all values, in ail countries, depend
jnore or less upon the government, and
they have.derived a greater part of
their permanence in this -country from the
supposed strength and'perpetuity of the
;vyßlcm of order which is now challenged
by the South. We havs enjoyed such ex
emption Jrbm the consequences of rev.i

that they arc now overlooked, or their cx-

A principle overborne, In politics as in
morals, is a principle miserably weakened
or wholly destroyed. The South demand
ing “concessions," "new guaranties,* n or
“additional security” to-day, when bcatcu
on the .question of slavery, will demand
the same next year, or after the next elec
tion, if their commercial theories are vio
lated by the passage of a high tariff bill,
-w if acquisition of more slave territory is
denied, or if tbc Homestead Low is insiste d
upon. Senator Hammond of South Caro
linn long ago declared that a Tariff for
protection would bp gnffigient justification
for going out of -the Union. That declar:*.-

ten men in thcCotton States. Causes, then,
for secession, revolution, Monetary revul
sion, commercial loss and manufacturing
distress, will never be lacking. Prove that
revolution is a safo and easy process—lbut \i
maybe accomplished without danger to
Ufa or’loss of blood—and revolutions will
merer be wanting. As we heretofore said,
make revolutions the rule, and all prosper-
Uy is at'an end. The hoarding of mon»>r
would begin, enterprise wonld die out, pro
jection would be limited to articles of daily
want, ,and civilization would recede a

Union, but a determination to save tho

"We have often assured the readers of the
Tribute that the quarrel of the Secession
ists with the North is not on account of the
election of Mr.*Llocoln, not because slavery
has not sufficient guarantees in the Consti
tution, and not because of any fear that a
Republican administration will not live up
to the letter and spirit of that instrument.
"What the South complains of, and on
account of which it is now cpgaged
in an attempt to subvert the noblest
fabric of free government ever devised
by the wisdom' of man, is the fact that
Slavery is hostile to the moral sense of the
people of the free States. It is not l consti
tutional reform, hut the eradication of ideas
—not new guarantees for Slavery, hut the
obliteration of the Northern conpcienc?
that is demanded. .The whole philosophy
of the South on this subject is contained
in the following extract from a 1 recent
speech of William L. Yancey:
Mr. President, I avow myself as ntt&iy, un
alterably oppos'd to any ami all plana ijf recon
ttrvctiny ft Vnion vith the Block- JiepubUcon
/State* of the A’orth. Jio ticio guaradtee*~t;o
amen dmenteof the Constitution — ho peaceful
hitionJ—no repeal of offensive la tea can ojftr to me
any, the least, induce/nad to reconstruct bur rela
tions i etth the States. This opin
ion is not founded on any objection to- a con
federation with States, north of Mason's and
Dixon's* lice, on princljffes mutually agree
able to them; bat it is founded on
tho conviction that the disease,! winch
preys on the vitals of the Federal
Union, does not emanate from any dfept in the
Federal Constitution—hut from a deeper source—
the hearts, heads and consciences <f the Xorihem
people. They am educated to believe ! slavery
to t>c a religious as well us a political iwrnng,
and consequently to hate tho slaveholder.
Mr. Seward was right when he declarqd there
was an irrepressible conflict,” whicl} would
not cease until slavery was exterminated.
But. sir, the elements of that conflict ]are not
to be found In the Constitution, but be
tween the Northern and Soutbcm-peorfle. No
guarantees —no amendments of the Constitu
tion—do compromise patched up to secure to
the North the benefits of tire Union yet a little
longer, con re-educate that people on mio slav
ery issue, so as to induce them, havinghhe ma
jority, io withhold the exercise of Its power in
aid of that “ .rrcprcsible conflict.” Tor accept
Of such reconstruction would, In my Opinion,
be but salving over the irritated surface of the
{kep-rooU-d cancer, which has been cafinginio
the vitals of the Union, effecting perhaps an
apparent, a deceit nl cure, while gull taeloath
some and incurable disease keeps on its fatal
progress, and daily weakens the bodylpolllic,
uutu finally itbreaks forth again with renewed,
because temporarily repressed vigor, 'and the
victim sinks in death. ,
Here, gentlemen,'compromisers ;ot the
North is the ultimatum of the secessionist*.
Are you prepared to accede to it ?

The Old Gentlemen's Union Saving Convent
tionKdeep in the mysteries ;of c&ncesslons
aad compromises. In selecting a special o6g|C
mittoc of one from each State, the rule which”
seems to have prevailed was to select cither
the oldest or the most pro-slavery man—
dabbed conservative—ln the delegation. Thus
longing to the antldeluvi&n era, is pat forth &s
the representative of the anti-slavery State of
Heroes for the hugest concessions and
Oirierlreefitates or
pteocdlivar its® light tettho) tffchc way la the
selection of tho eominittee.: Thdeeimportact
fooctionarlos have chosen a sub-committee of
five old fossils; Theseremains of npast ago
lire expected to report, some obnoxious, dis
honorable scheme of compromise, in which
tho North will ba sacrificed. •
The committee of-Twenty-Three' (one from
each State), constituted As above described,
most likely will report this sub-committee
contrivance to the general conference, and then
comes the rale. Those who oppose it will be
charged with abstracting the pacification. of
the country. Tho debate*be!ngconducted in
secrecy,ofterthe pattern of the Romish Inqui
sitions, or Know-Nothing Lodges, cowards
and traitors in.disguise will feel safe in betray
ing the people. None will vote right In this
•Star Chamber- conclave, except thoeo realty
sound and true at heart. 'When has Freedom
escaped betrayal if it could be done under
the shelter of aecresy and darkness V Ido not
affirm' that the conference will adopt a dis
graceful compromise, bat the temptations ere
: strong, and the danger great. ■
The conspirators-who arc at the bottom of
this base business and ore engineering the
machine, have no expectation that Congress
wfil sanction their doings, as Urequires a two
thirds Vote of each branch tosubmit amend
ments to the Constitution; and to ratify them,
it requires tho sanction of three-fourths or
twenty-six State Legislatures. As seven States,
counting -Texas, and flight; IT Arkansas is in--
eluded, have seceded, it will be neceeiary for.
the nineteen free States and the seven remain
ing slave States to concur in such amendments.
Now, who in hU sober senses supposes that
such unanimity can be obtained in behalf of
any scheme cm?>odyiDg tho principles of the
Breckinridge platform? The people of the
North arc not yet sufficiently scared to accept
a constitutional slave-code for the Territories,
nor to agree that slavery shall be forced ujmdu
au unwilling people by übv nrocess whatever.
Tlie engineers of (he M Old GenilcmenV* con
clave ore laying a train which they expect will
explode and. blow-up the Republican party.
It U the destruction, or at least disastrous de
feat. of that party which they arc laboring to
effect: Tire Constitution as it is would be
.good enough for them If tb6 Slave Power and
its flunkey allies were permitted to administer
the government and enjoy the offices. This is
the big giievar.ee at the bottom of Democratic
discontent. Some-amendment of Ihc Consti
tution which-would keep the Republicans out
of'lhe offices would heal all their sores, and
save the Union. If the minority could only be
allowed to rule, they would be bland, serene
and contented.
The feeling in favor of calling a National
Convention to revise the Constitution is gain
ing ground among the Republicans. The
flunkeys are saying, because the Republicans
refuse to aceepl ttlo abominable Crittenden
s’ave code, “ You arc afraid of th-j people. Why
“don’t you lit the people decide the matter?
“Why are yon defeating the Will of the pi-o
--“ pie V” The Republicans r«q >ly, we are oiq>D!>o<l
to making chr-.nges in the C;>n6lUutl>jn by
extra-judicial and unconstitutional methods,
such-as yon bat we are in favor of
submitting the whole matter to the people in
ihe only way provided by the Constitution.
Let two-thirds oT the State Legislatures avk
Congress to call a National Convention. Con
gress will fix the time for the election bf dele
gates and the meeting of the Convention. The
election cannot take place sooner than a year
from now, which will give ample time for the
panic created by thodtinagogucsand.disunion
i-ts to-fcubsldc, and the public mind to cool
down to the calm, sober and solid reasoning
point The ablest and wisest statesmen will
be elected to tho Convention, and the public
mind will rest on the assurance thatj be action
of the body will promote the perpetuity of t ho
Union, and help to restore confidence and har
mony.
We shall see whether the gentlemen
who have expressed to much confidence
iu the people will be eager to gra-jp at
this regular and legitimate mode of submitting
the distracting public questions to them.
The election in Tennessee is a wet blanket
on the secessionist?. The vote is far more sig
nificant than that of Virginia on the •scccysion
question. Il appears that the people not only
voted to remain in the Union by an over
whelming mojoity, but refuse to call a Conven
tion to consider the question of secession or
“grievances” at all. Senator Johnson and
Representative Etheridge have been triumph
antly sustained. They took the grounds
that secession was rebtuion —wis treason, and
should be dealt with aecordmdy. They
maintained the doctrinetbat no government
could exist without the right of coercion, nod
that the laws of the Federal Government
must be executed at all hazards. The spirit of
General Jackson still lives la the State where
his ashes repose, and Johnson and Etheridge,
who preached the old hero’s doctrine, have
been gloriously sustained and triumphantly
vindicated. Let there be no degrading com
promises, inlcndtd only todivLde7disiract aud
demoralize tho .people of tho North, Bnd the
Union will vet be ►avedintlus only \fay il.at
will prove permanent and futlsfactorjv
Every man in a free State who signs | a ■ peti
tion praying for tho odious and hateful Critten
den Powell slave spreading scheme, adds to
the disunion flame, adds to the Southern dis
content, and encourages disunion demagogues
to increase their demands fur Northern con
cessions. Great and almost irreparable mis-'
chief has already been inflicted on. the nation
bythefeo petitions. Crittenden would .never
have arc pled Powell’s amendment to’ extend
and establish slavery over all future acquisi
tions of territory but for these base, unmanlv,
unpatriotic petitions' signed by Norlharo inen.
On the contrary, he would have modified his
original proposition and accepted the Corwin-
Adams compromise, which nearly allithe Re
publican members- have supported as
a basis of settlement, and which the
border. Stales would have gladly accep
ted os a satisfactory adjustment. Rut
Northern weak-kneed, timid a id scared people
have emboldened the slaveholders to Increase
their demands. But for this cowardly, das
tardly proffer of snbmbsion, the uifllcullks
might ere now have been settled andjh’c Un
ion saved. ■Thepositlnu taken by Northern
demagogues that the Federal laws slfould not
. be executed in the .imminent States, has al&o
done infinite mischief. Without such assur
ance of Northern support, the secessionists
.would not have presented so bold and defiant
& trout. A united North would haye awed
them lnt«t a slower pace and a nreekef aspect.
They are a* bold aa lions,--because they rely on
the Northern Democracy to aid them in set
ting the Federal laws 'at defiance, add In de
stroying tho Union. Their confidence seems
to be well founded. * <
The disunion demagogues and their North
ern alUcs were sorely distressed ot the intro
duction of the following resolution in the
House yesterday:
DECUAKATIOX OF POLiCT.
Mr. (Ktp. of New York) Offered a
resolution to the following effect:
Itftoirtd-, That neither the Federal Government,
the People, nor the Governments of the nmwlive

that those who do not scH*rr»bo to the foregoing
principles ore to*>ln*i::Djficai(t in comber and tn
liucnoc to excite tho eerl.ius aUcntion-or alarm of
any portion of the people.
This was destroying Southern capital in a'
very ruthless manner, andineiwith stern op
position from the jnurdlans of treason in that
section, and gave their Northern nlllcs.great

A Ballonal Way to Grow Celery.
Cimtrajox, Feb. S, ISCI,
The past ten yean have made great advances
In the art of culture, not only oh the farm, in
the orchard, but more particularly in the
garden. Old long-time practices that had
grown gray with age ind . superstition
tote been swept away. Paring th£ bot
tom of vine borders and asparagus beds,
sowing in the moon and cutting weeds when
the sign was in the heart, have become matters
‘of history, and this young gen&ratioß»ulmc*t
..begin.to flUhplipyp !n thn fyrt that,AhCJ.. OACC
existed,lunch less In their potency. The prac
tice of growing^celery in trenches Is jutr on
the eve of leave-taking, and our present object
is to tend It out altogether. Just think of it,
you lovers of celery, you who have been taught
'to bellevo .that the growing of this luxury is
-atteodedvrltb severe labor with the Epade, to
set out the trenches two tcel deep, taat after
the plants are set, the first heavy rain will de
stroy the greater part of them by the falllrg
In of the Walls of tbo ditch, that .from time to
time yon most, with hoe in hand,*gradually fill
in around the plants until the ditch becomes
a mound or ridge,your plants not over strong
and prematurely blanched. In taking up you
most again go through the excavating process,
and unearth your favorite. Yon pack it away
in tbe cellar in earth for winter’s use, and find
half of It spoiled by heating or dampness.
Y£u murmur.over your ill-luck, but you cannot
dispense with the plant, and on the return of
spring another hol-bcd Is made and you- again
So through the same round of partial success,
•idyou never wish' there was some other way
to grow" celery ? Perhaps you have, but you
must follow iu the way of old professional g.-r
--denen, and .bb-content. Well, let these "old
professional gardeners have their way, of which
they ore so much in love that they never allow
a thought that any improvement can be mode
over what they have-bem taught, and wo will
proceed to give you a cheap and rational way
of growing this plant, that shall please you to
an almost indefinite extent In the first place
jounced not sow the seeds in a hot-bed, but
in the open ground, in April. These will be
ready to set out in July, and be ready for use
the first of September, certainly as t arly :is
■hot-hod plants set in the bottom of a two-loot
ditch. Tbs plants will need culling back
once or twice, to make them more stocky;
with a shears or scythe cut the tops olfa third
of the way down as they stand in the seed
beds. About the first of July, the early peas,
potatoes and onions can be cleared off, t c
ground plowed or spaded, and the plants set
m rows four feet apart and six inches in tbe
row. Work the ground once a week with cul
tivator or shovel plow until tbe plants are fif
teen or eighteen inches high; recollect this
none of your sickly stuff grown io the bottom
ofa two-foot ditch. At this stage of its growth,
throw & light furrow against the plants, and
’ with the hand straighten them up, so that the
stems will stand close together; alter a few
days you can then turn a heavy furrow against
them; this will stand ten days to extend the
hearts, when the banking is finished with the
spade. We think that yon will say that this Is
a cheap, and ready way to grow giant celery,
In spite of the profession.
TO WINTEBOCT OF DOORS.
dry piece of ground where the wa
ter will not stand; if. in clay it must have a
good -natural drainage; lay oil the trench a
foot wide and excavate to the depth of the
clay.* Take the plants up, shake oat the
earth and set the-roots on the bottom of the
trench, and pack the plants as close as they
will stand. Put nothing between them, tint
, ply filXthe.trench as solid as they will stand
* without bruising the stems. The moisture of
the bottom of the ditch will bo sufficient to
keep the plants in good condition. Iu put
ting them In hare them stand perpendicular.
Celery should not be taken up too early, as it
will whiten too quickly and rot, a not very
desirable result. About the 15th of October
at this point, and earlier farther north, is about
the right time to begin so os to close about
the iisth, if yotThave much of a stock; if not,
you can look alter It daring thh lime if \ou
have leisure. Select dry weather to take it up.
In the next place, throw on to the edges of the
trench about three or four inches of corn-stub
ble manure, leaving a strip of the green leaves
of the celery sticking out to permit evapora
tion and to prevent a too rapid ripening. As
soon as there is danger of frost —say toe last
“of November or first of December—put on a
final covering or coarse manure, six to eight
inches deep, and wldegcnough to protect the
sides of the trench from frost. The object is
to completely protect the ground from freez
ing, yet not to heat the plants. Of course tins
will depend on the exposure and quality of the
material used. Farmers can use chair for this
purpose when .they have it. You can now
take it up at any lime that it Is needed for win
ter use, and you will find it completely bleach
ed. The growth has been natural and vigor
ous, and the bleaching being an after opera
tion, the plants will be fouud rich and crisp.
Grow jour own plants and not call in any pro
fessional-advice, if you wish to succeed. Of
coarse yon want rich and deeply cultivated
land; if too flat, throw it up into bcdiV 6o that
heavyraine will not check the growth.

THE CRISIS.
EVENTS AND OPINIONS AT THE SOCHI.
PARSON BROWXLOW OX SUBMITTING TO LIN-
COLN'S ADMINISTRATION.
A friend haying asked the intrepid editor of
the KaoxtUle WWhitg t whether, since six States
have seceded from the Union, he Is willing to
risk himself and State tinder the Administra
tion of Mr. Lincoln, he thns replies:
I am willing to risk myself and State trader
the Administration of Abraham Lincoln. I am
not, however, willing to submit to the outrages
the fire-eaters of the South allege that Mr. Lin
coln intends to commit upon the South, Ido
not believe that he will meddle with the insti
tution of slavery where it is, or ?eek to de
prive Iheßonthof any right she holds under
tne Constitution. And I believe that he will
enforce the Constitution and laws of the Uni
ted States, as his oath of officareqniree him to
do, and as justice to the various sections of the
Union demands at bis hands.
If 1 am mistaken in the estimate I have put
upon the integrity and patriotism of the Pres
ident elect, and he shall seek to oppress any
one of the States of this Confederacy, South
or North, I shall readily join the other Slates
in seeking to punish hlm v and in resisting his
administration. But 1 wont to see the evi
dence of this before I begin the work of re
sistance—l want other proof of the bad faith
in which Mr. Lincoln Intends to act, than the
prediction of his enemies. 1 have submitted
to the Administration of James Buchanan for
four years, and my State has done so, without
a mnrthur, and I hold that Lincoln could not
afford the country a more corrupt, partial, and
infamous administration, if ho wore to try!
Lincoln was elected under the forms prescrib
ed by our Constitution and laws, and without
fraud at the ballot-box, and it is the duty of
all good citizens to give him a fidr test, before
they; condemn him.
I went Into the contest against Lincoln, as
did also my Btatif y ~knowing him be a sec
tional candidate, upon a sectional platform,
and as we were thirty beaten, we feci bound in
honor la abide by our defeat lor four years to
come. . The reign of Lincoln for twenty years,
upon even the Chicago Platform, Is preferable
to the breaking up of this Government. Se
cession Is no remedy for any evil thatmav
arise in our Government, aud I deny its right.
The right of Revolution I admit, but I denv
that such a remedy is cal'ed for In the present
crisis of our affairs. I will be told of the mmy
grievances we of the South have suffered at the
hands of the North. 1 have considered the
nature of these grievances, and their effects
upon the commerce, trade and religion of the
South, and they msy be expns.-cd m the fol
lowing words: The Democracy of the South
have lost the offices qf the- Govcrnuuut ami its ini
mense patronage! And a large majority of the
tr>j6 and independent people of Tennessee,
taking this view of the subject, they will re
fuse to go out of the Union I
Having thus fully and frankly answered the
question proifounaed, I might here close niv
remarks; but I choose to go further, and to
sav even more. There is scarcely a man of
talent and character llv’ug, even as the North,
trader whose administration of the General
Government I would not prefer to live,rather
than live in a Southern Confederacy, controlled
and governed by the traitors and \ Uiaitie, who
hire originated and carried out this wicked,
daring and damnable scheme ol Secession.
TUeSenalors of seven Slates have been sitting
Iu their seats as Senators, sworn to support tho
Constitution of the United States, and to act
as the privy counsel of the President, and at
the same t tme they .were holding secret meet
ings, plotting the overthrow of the Govern
inentand Constitution they bad sworn to sat
iate fend support. 1 consider Benedict Arnold
aud Aaron Burr-patriots amlhonvsit men.com
- pared with these traitors aud perjured vil
lains. J certainly haye no desire to live under
any Government organised by such corrupt,
wicked and hell-deserving men as those I This
whole scheme for dissolving this Union was
originated and carried out by such men as
, these. Corrupt, designing, end disappointed •
Southern politicians, who failing to control
the Government, resolved ujvon its min.
Them arc better men In Hell, stiff-ring the
vengeance of eternal fire, than the. Southern
leaaers in this Secession movement. This I
»:iy as a Southern man, one bom and raised
here, and intending $o live and die here. And
all this-1 vyill continue to say as long as I have
breath to speak, or strength to write.

The St. Lotto Nevx of the 11th. says:
Wo learn by reliable advices, received from
citizens of Mississippi sow In St. Louis, that
there is extreme dissatisfaction among the
people of that State, at the violent coercion of
Mississippi Into Hie vortex of secession, by
the arbltary -leaders of the movement, and,
and particularly, at the refusal of the Conven
tion to submit the question of secession to a
popular vote. ‘
It will be remembered that a very respecta
ble mlnorityof the delegates were elected as
‘‘
ate accession. Nevertheless, when the Con
vention met, these “ Co-operatlonUts” were
dragooned and' browbeaten Into an abandon
ment of their. views and the desire of their
constituents,, and forced, against their own
bettor Judgment, by tbe outside pressure
brought to bear on. the Convention, to vote
for the’ordinance of Secession! ‘ln the “Co
operation counties, the dissatisfaction of the
people is greatest, though Its public and con
certed expression is repressed by the terror
ism still maintained by the Secessionists.
The people were not prepared for tbe severe
trials which Secession Imposes on them. Their
crops last year were short, and In the counties
bordering on tbe Alabama fine, the utmost
destitution 'cadets. Planters who generally
make fifty to seventy-five bales of cotton,
made, last year, only ten to twenty; and even
this scant crop cannot bo sent to market, on
account of .disturbance of trade. The people,
therefore, are ln deot, and suffering from wont
of the commonest necessaries of life.
The Peace Congress.
[Washington Corscsponilencc of the Philadelphia

The proceedings of this body are still con-.

that the Select Committee has not yet made a
report, nor has any definite action - been taken
by that Committee. Yesterday, Mr. Dudley
Field of New York, and Mr. Crownlnsbield of
Massachusetts, took their seats as members of
the Fame.
The Crittenden and other measures of com*
promise proposed by Congress have been
under discussion, and several netrmethods of
adjustment have been proposed—one by Mr.
Guthrie, and another by Mr. Beverdy Johnson'
—but it is not likely that anyrestrit can be at

[Special Dispatch’to the Cincinnati Gazette.]
Wasogjotok, Feb. 12,1861.
The Business Committee of the Peace Con
ference yesterday adopted Mr. Guthrie’s pro
position prohibiting surety north of 36:30, and
recognizing and protecting it south of that
line. The proposition is being very vigorous
ly opposed in the Conference to-day, and can
not pass without considerable modification.
1 understand the Virginia delegation win
accept nothing less than this, and it is doubt
ful whether the Conference will be able to
come to an understanding. Ex-President Ty
ler expresses his apprehension that nothim:
will bu accomplished. The Conference is not
iu session to-day, having adjourned to Wednes
day, ip order to enable the sub-committee to
make a report.
. Farther on the cam* dispatch says:
Fifteen minutes arc allowed to a speaker In
the sub-committee of the Peace Convention,
therefore, where many points are presented,
the members of thecommitteemay cache peak
for that space of time. The day Is pretty much
used up in discussion. 'lt is understood that
the committee, by a vote of ten to nine, have
adopted the proposition of Reverdy Johnson
over that of Mr. Crittenden.
Mr. Guthrie has moved the Kentucky propo
sitions as on amendment to Mr. Johnson’s. On
the Territorial feature they do not much differ.,
Mr. Guthrie’s plan is a sort of an expansion oi
the idea contained in that of Mr. Johnson’?.
It also makes provision on several other points
other than the territorial one. Mr, Johnson’s
Is more confined in its scope, Mr. Smith of
Indiana has moved the plan proposed by Mr.
Etbcridgc of Tennessee, In the House of Repre
sentatives. This would probably command a
large Northern vote.
A proposition of Mr. Field of New York is
to the effect that the recognition of slavery
south of 86 deg. 80 min. shall not operate to
establish it where it does not now exist.
The German Workingmen of Cincin
nati and nr. Lincoln.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial, 18th.]
Eighteen German Industrial Associations,
numbering several thousand men, marched to
the Burnet House at eight o’clock, with flags
flying, mus:c playing and torches burning.
They packed the street In Iront of the botelas
close as man could stand to man. The nr-’
raqgement was tbat they should deliver Mr.
Lincoln an address, an arrangement tbat
seemed likely never to be effected, for the
halls aodqficorridor* of hotel were so
thronged that it was for a long time thought
to be Impossible to get the President elect on
the balcony. Mayor Bishop tried tobegthc
crowd to excuse’Mr, Lincoln, bat without
avail. He was their President and they were
bound to have him. One big Dutchman, with
a flaming tar stick and a stentorin voice, kept
crying out, u you shust brings him out, enmes
out, you honest Old Abe.”
Finally a passage way was cleared, and the
following address delivered by Fred. Obcr
kline. Esq., and respdhded to by Mr. Lincoln.
To Abraham Lincoln. President elect of the Z'ni-
United Slates:
Sib—We, the German, free working-men of-
Cincinnati, avail ourselves of this opportunity
to assure you, our chosen Chief Magistrate, of

have, in recent times made free use of the .

meetings,’* in order to create an impression, jfr
if a mass of workingmen were in favor of com
promises between the intcrcets of free labor
and slave labor, by which the victory just won
would be turned into a defeat. This is a des
picable device of dishonest men. We spurn
such com promises, We firmly believe in the
principles which directed oar votes In your fit*- -

Henry Clay’s Foresight.
The folio wing extracts from Henry Clay’s
correspondence with Daniel Uliman have, a
singular interest jast now;
“ Of tbe candidates spoken of on the Demo*
cratic side, ! confess that I should prefer Gen-
Cass. He is, I think, more to be relied on than
any of hia.competitors. Daring the trials of
the long session of the lost Congress, be bore
hlmselffirmly, consistently and patriotically:
M Besides pre-existing questions, a new ono :
will probably arise at the next session of Con
gress, involving the right of _any one of the
States of the Union, upon Its own separate will
and pleasure, to secede from the residue, and
become a distinct and independent poWer.
The decision of that momentous question can
not but exert some influence upon the next
Presidential election! For my own part, - / ut
terly deny th« existence of any sueh right, and I
think an attempt to exercise it ought to be resitted
to the last extremity , for it is in fact a question of
Union or ho Union."

“I have ao doubt,.with you, that many of
the quiet and"w«fil disposed citizens of South

the danger is, as history shows too often hap

will get the control, and push their measures

fidence that it will come out of it with the
most triumphant success,”
Fainter, Still Fainter,
The St, Louis Bulletin —the organ of the
Breckinridge faction of the dteunlonista—fore
shadows the defeat of Us party In that city on
Monday nest. In speaking of the disunionlst
meeting on Saturday night it says:
We were nt the meeting. We watched it
closely and attentively. Wc say, and no man
who baa any regard for truth will deny, that it
was a failure in every senseof that term. There
wua no crowd. The hall (one of moderate ca-
was not at any time more than half
fulL There wus no enthusiasm, except when
Luther M. Kennett, true to his instincts aud
to his honor, spoke boldly and manfully in de
fence of the South. Even the eloquence of
Uriel Wright failed to raise the drooping
spirits of “ the crowd.” Defeat, disgraceful
and damning defeat, stared them in the face,
and tilled their souls with fear and trembling.
It is now perfectly certain that no candidate
upon the caucus [Disunion) ticket stands the
ghost of a chance, except Judge Gamble and
Major Wright. Theywiil, doubtless,be elected
by a very large majority, for they will receive
the vote of every Republican, as well as of
every submissionist iu the county. We need
not say that wc regret all this most unfeign
edly. Not only do we regret a renewed tri
umph of the Republican party, but we lament
the foredoomed defeat of Luther M. Keuuctt.

Tragic and Fatal Affray—An Attempt
at Cow hiding—A Young Han Shot
and Killed.
Carondelet street, near the intersection of
Union, was thrown into the greatest excite
ment last evening by a rencounter between
two worthy aud well kucwu young gentle
men, which resulted in the kDllng of one by
the other.
Thomas 11. Uhlhom and Eugene 11. Levy,
were the parties, both about 21 years of age ;
the former a clerk, and the latter a cashier, iu
the bouse of Messrs. Hawkins & Norwood,
No. 48 Garoudc-let street, near Union. Thomas
IT. Uhlhom, the deceased, was anephew of the
Hunt family; Eugene H. Levy is the son o'
the note and exchange broker, Mr. J. L. Lew,
Both the young gentlemen being so well
known and so respectably connected, their
tragic rencounter aroused more than the usual
excitement appertaining to such meeting!-.
The best Information we could gat!n r w;s
• this: Thcjoungmen were along tiincfrinr!
working together, as ther did, in the sim>»
house. A lew days since Uhlhom found him
self accused of embezzling the amount of
bill which he had be£n sent to collect, but
which bill he and his friends asserted wa.-*
never collected. Day before yesterdav he had
an interview with Levy about this, and de
nounced him a M lying Jew son of a b—h. r
Levy says be accepted the insnlt, not resent
ing it then, because the partners In the hou£«-
were absent, and because if he had made fight,
he might have sacrificed his employers* Inter
est, by being arrested and taken from his re
sponsible position as per pro. Levy further
-ays that he intended calling upon* Uhlhom
for satisfaction yesterday morning, but wa*
d ssuaded from it by the advice of his father
and other friends.
Yesterday morning Uhlhom was dlnnissed
from his position as clerk la the house, by onr
of the proprietors ; as bis friends say, for lu- ;
abase of Levy, and as Levy says, for dishou
esty. Uhlhom then determined to have satis •
faction of Levy. He got two of his friends t*.
promise to meet him in fra afternoon, and gn
with him to Hawkins <fc Norwood’s office, to
call Levy out and have a settlement with him.
The two friends promised; one was punctual
to the appointment, and went with Uhlhom to
the office; the other friend, arriving at th<-
rendezvous ten minutes too late, missed it all.
The friend who was punctual to the appoint
ment, dnd who Went with Uhlhom tothe office,
was a young man named Salter.
It was abont o}{ o’clock, when they visited
the office. _Aa Levy says, a jonog man un
known to him came to him in the counting
room whilst he was busy at his books, and it
formed bira tbat Mr. Uhlhom was outbid*,
awaiting an interview with him. He decline*!
going out, but his visitor it, und
taking him by the arm, iuformeiPhira that !T
he refused the interview he would ho de
nounced as coward. Upon this he wont out.
Though not in the habit of carrying weapons,
as he says, he had armed himself with a revol
ver, and had it |n his pantaloons pocket, be
lieving that Uhlhom would probably insnli
him again, and maybe attatk him upon sight.
As he stepped out on the banquette, Uhl
hom drew a white cowhide and went at bin*.
Levy says he received two violent cuts over
the head (he has a swelling on the crown to
show for one of the cuts). He tried to catch
tho cowhide and take it away frost Uhlhom,
but not succeeding in this, he drew his revol
ver and fired twice. The first shot missed;
the second shot, ho thought, took effect. Uhl
hom fell, and he then went back into the office,
where, In a few minutes, he was visited bv
officer Hays, who invited him -to go to- th*:
lock-up, an invitation which he accepted wil
lingly.
Wc hare no farther particulars of the rer -
ccu iter,except from Mr. Donovan^gentleman
who upon hearing Levy's shots, ran across tho
street and found Uhlhom lying on the ban
quette, half raised,his face covered with blood
and a four-barrel revolver in his hand, which h
was apparently trying to tire at somebodv.
Fc»ring that ho would shoot wild and hur
somebody, he took the pistol out of his hand
and left it at the office of the Chief of Pulic«
with the above statement. '
Soon after falling, Uhlhom was picked u •
and carried into tho luuk office of Perkins *■:
Co, (Hawkins & Norwood’s office being o •
stairs lathe same building), and laid out on •
cotton sampling table where he breathed h’s
Us tin about a quarter of an hour.
Coroner Beach being notified, soon arrived
and empannclcd a jury. The post-mortem ex
amination was held by Dr. Chastant, assisted
by Dr. Hunt, unde of the deceesud. The fatal
bullet bad entered the right check, about an.
inch b low the outer comer of the eye, as
wjh shown by the probing,’ passed under th;
eye, and upward obliquely through the hriff
to the skn<l at a point above and back of th-:
left ear.. The bullet did not come out. nor w;;s
it found, the probing showing satlstictorily
that the perforation of the brain was the ■ am o
of death. The first knuckle of the ring tinge i*
of the right hand, -aud the second knuckle cf
the little Auger, were found to be split open
probably by the first shot that Levy flre-d.
TherCoroncr will finish his inquest as aoou rs
ho can get the witnesses together.—.V. 0. Ctvl
