Vou will sec that by a unanimous voto the Legislature havo ndnpfcod a resolution to go with tho South, UnlesH Southern rights should be guaranteed t by constitutional amendments, which condition will not be complied with. The resplu- j tion is equivalent itself to an act of secession. Much has been said about the Virginia propo- | nition for a consultation here on the 4th of February upon the condition of the country. a view to the adoption of tho Crittenden 1 of adjustment. It amounts to nothing I 1 nt nil. The Virginia Commissioners will > 1 find no one to meet them from tho North and West. The Crittenden plan, including ns it docs tho I'ovrell amendment, embracing fu- f turc territory as slave territory, if acquired i Ko,i?n .s aiv ;n k? M tho North?nor by a single State of the ' North. The Legislature of Virginia also j 1 reserves to itself and to the Virginia Convcn- | ^ tion the power to control or annul the Acts ^ of her Commissioners. It is believed, in fine, that tho result of the subject of a Compromise Convention for the 4th of February j will be to remove all obstacles that may exi- 1 in the way of secession, or any doubts as its expediency. Maryland aud Kentucky will follow in the wako of Virginia. Then, ' by March, a Southern Convention, for the organization of a {southern Confederacy, will be held. Washington, January 2 4.?One Trod- | well, of New York, intondato file affidavits, charging treason against Messrs. Toombs, ' , Iverson, Wij+fall, Slidcll and others, lie has j been before the Judge of the Dirtriot Court | to sec if he could not tret a process issued.? Judge Taney, of the Supreme Court, refused j his application after three day's advisement. , Mr. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, demanded i an apology of Mr. Dunn, of Indiana, in the | House to day, for words spoken in debate.? Dunn refused at the time to make a satisfac- i tory explanation. No serious result is antioi- . pa ted, u* measures have been taken to prevont j a duel. In Congress, to-day, nothing of importance ( was done. ( Washington, January 27.?Reliable in- . formation has been received here from Har- . rishurgth.it the Crittenden-Rigler proposition , will pass the Legislature of Pennsylvania.? If this should turn out to be correct, the res- * olutions will be adopted by Congress. It is regarded here by more modorato Southern men as most unfortunate that the . tariff question is to be brought into the Sen- ( ate before there is any possibility of the ar- , rangement of th-i momentous quarVcl botweon , the North and the South. The tariff bill, as j j Jt passed the House last session, .should it j . now bccrfme a law, will add unnecessarily to j the secession fires now raging at the South, and bo regarded by the enemies of the Up- ( ion of tho determined disposition to legislate . for the benefit of Northern class interests, to ( the prejudice of the South, and thus tend to , prevent restoration of harmony. But that!, is not just now the most important view un-) der which this important subject is to borc j . garded. Morrill's bill, as it stands, would l s Beriously interfere with and impair ortr com-! j mcree with England. France, Belgium, ( rj Switzerland and Germany, and would hardly j T fail to excite very general hostility towards i . this country with the people, if not with the j j nrA^nrnii)i>tifu i\f flio pnonnnfivn nnnI r namfcd. The inquiry very naturally arises !. whether this is a favorable moiucut to wound i { the interests of the sentiment# of the govern- J f ments , or' the peoples of Europe? Would j? hot such a measure have an unavoidable ten-1 . derrcy to strengthen the causfc of the seceding | ! Statos with the European posters ? Already i, it is known here that thu diplomatic repr<'sen- j tatives of Several yf the most important Eu- , rfipenn Governments nvo calculating upon the j ^ probability of opening direct trade with the j , South upon' the basis of free trAde, which | , would , enable the manufacturing couoirtos of Y Europe to repfty themselves by an enlarged < " bultefc as the South for diminished importation , , i}Jf the North, in tlio event of a permanent ( ?AAiirftt?nn nf tlift two nf ftnr still groat country, [u tho present condit?Qn of j , ottr country, it bccomc-fl immensely Important ! j ' ttie policy of fhis 09vcrnmcnt) n? now j being carried out, and likely to 1 ) continued , ] by'the incoming administration, should be', comnmulentod to tbe diflcront Governments o* , * Kurope, so that they may not be drawn, off , juto premature and ctnbarrassiog recognition , | of arty seceding State or States, an it i? held j 1 to bo tho paramount duty of the presont, as > it will be of tlur incoming administration, to ! | rnnintniii Uvo constitutional integrity of the ( confederated States of Jtho Union.

A despatch to the Ifrruhi say* : WASIUNmoN, Jan. 27, 1SG1.?I learn from a gentleman who had an interview with I Mi*. Lincoln, at Springlirtid, within tho past j woek, that the hitter, in discussing the existing state ot\ affairs, expressed himself as follows : " I will suffer death before I will consent or advise my friends to consent to any concession or compromise which looks like j buying the privilege of taking possession of I this government, to which we have a consti- I tutioilal right; because, whatever I might j think of the merit of the various propositions i 1 before Congress, I should regard any conces-! 1 ..e ?i._ j?? -t i 1 iivmi 111 I/IIU itiv.v; ill Iiiunauu tui; UU?tl UULIOII in the government itself, nrid ;v consent on nil ( hands that onr system shall he brought down ' ton level with the existing disorganized state >f affairs in Mexico.

In this conversation Mr. Lincoln urged no ibjcction to tho Horder State or fcjtheridge ' proposition, contained in this correspondence * >f the 14th inst., ns a futnrc basis ??f fierce- ! ncnt, if the Republicans ns a party desire it. 1 This fact gives importance to n leading ed- ! ! torial in the Statu Journal of the2-11h inst., 1 published at Springfield, 111. While it is truo that the Journal is not the official organ of Mr. Lincoln, it is also true that it never con- j J tains any recommendation to the Republican virty, or asserts any now line of policy for ! 4 hat party, that is in conflict with the known ! ri'ewa of Mr. Lincoln. Here is the Journal's j ' iroposition : i ' If anything short of a concession of the ; f )iinciplo that tho Toii'ifories should not he i * lurrendered to slavery will satisfy the South, ! he Republican party stand ready to yieid it. I ' L'his point they cannot yield with honor. They t vill never yield it at all. If tho Southern ; ' icople are afraid that tho Republican party ; j ntends to interfere with slavery in the slave States by Congressional action, wo are satisfied f hat the whole Republican party, to allay their curs, aro wilPng, by con#titution:d amend- 1 nont or otlierw ~e, to deprive Congress of any j 1 inch power; nnd again : If the Southern | J jftople fear or believe that the Republican | javty nre opposed to the admission of any : j liorp slave states, we arc willing that it .should j" jo made the luw or tho constitution jiiat i cr'itories applying for admission into tho Union ihnll bo admitted with or without slavery. as he people of such Territory so applying snail letcrmino ; and farther, we are it) favor of , ' md earnestly rccointnond the repeal of all j 1 Sthto laws in conflict with the Constitution of i 1 tho United Btates, or that in nny way obstruct I ' >r interforc with the execution of federal laws ; J 1 urq are in favor of nny compromise that does j 1 not yield to. slavery the right to go into the free territories j the positive right to do this | it never did have until tho Kansas-Nebraska ( bill was passed; the Missouri compromise | kvus ropiuded by. tho slave States under the ] nlea that it was nnnnnstitufciniinl.
