nize the Southern Confederacy. It stands to reason that free ports should command the mercantile navy of the commercial world. The late Union was bothersome enough, but how will it be with this new tariff and the Pacific and Homestead bills ?--The Border States can't stand it. It is out of the question. I think there must be some mistake about Mr. Tyler's believing an honorable adjustment of our difficulties being near at hand.--He did not so express himself to me. Colfax denies that Lincoln has written conciliatory letters. Much to the disgust of Messrs. Everett and Winthrop, the Massachusetts delegation have united in a message to the Legislature of their State, urging them to send Commissioners here on the 4th of February. Republicans will be sent, and of course they will not carry out the compromise views of the Everett party. But the Tribune is in great fright about the prospect of a compromise. I hear from an intimate acquaintance of Seward that the Republicans will n

Lincoln's pomp and Parade. The incoming Administration is to be inaugurated with a pomp in an inverse ratio from the justification of the circumstances which surround it. We note below some of the items in the programme. At the suggestion of Major General Scott, the President has deputed Col. Sumner and Maj. Hunt, of the Army, to escort the new President and Commander-in-Chief of the Army to Washington. (We learn that Col. Sumner is a cousin of Charles Sumner, and both he and Major Hunt are Black Republicans.) This is altogether unprecedented, and were it at all appropriate that the Executive should depute a committee for any such purpose, in obedience to the spirit of our Constitution, which proclaims the civil superior to the military power, civilians, and not military men, should have been selected for the duty. But poor old General Scott seems determined that there shall be no lack of "fuss and feathers" on the approaching inauguration. Macbeth said of his wife, that

be a conflict, he now thinks differently. I am thus particular, in order to allay any unnecessary alarm and uneasiness of many persons in your State, who are immediately interested in our affairs, either politically, pecuuiarily, or on account of friends residing here. My own opinion is not worth a straw, compared with such gentlemen as alluded to, yet I may venture to give my own, and that is, there will be a conflict, either during Mr. Buchanan's administration, or soon after Mr. Lincoln is inaugurated. The general feeling here is, that we would rather prefer the border States to form their own Confederacy, or remain in the "blessed Union," to act as a "break- water," or bulwark, to the Cotton States. We Virginians, resident here, don't feel disposed to become aliens to our dear old Common wealth, yet, if it be for mutual good, be it so, but how that blessed old mother can remain in league with her bitterest enemies, I cannot imagine. We are all quiet here,

written to Republican Congressmen, recommending conciliatory measures. This hopeful announcement is thus settled by the Lincoln organ at Springfield (too late to reach the country in this State before Monday): Springfield. Ill., Jan. 29. --This morning's Journal contains an authoritative contradiction of a Washington dispatch to the press, stating that Mr. Lincoln had written to his Congressional friends recommending conciliatory measures. It says the country may rest assured that in AbAbraham Lincoln they have a Republican President--one who will give them a Republican administration. Mr. Lincoln is not committed to the Border State Compromise, nor to any other. He stands immovably on the Chicago platform, and he will neither acq Mr. Lincoln is not committed to the Border State Compromise, nor to any other. He stands immovably on the Chicago platform, and he will neither acquiesce in, nor counsel his friends to acquiesce in, any compromise that surrenders one lots of it.
