men to a forbidden level with negroes, and thus overthrow not only the Union, but destroy the glorious free institutions, which, seventy-six years ago, our fathers extorted from an unwilling despot; and, if any additional evidence he needed to show the alliance of the so-called Republican party with the monarchists of Great Britain to dissolve the Union, regardless of its fearful consequences, it can be find in the fact that its recognized leaders in Congress have deliberately rejected Senator Crittenden's compromise, although it is well known that it does not grant the South her full, just and equal rights under the Constitution. Resolved, That we demand that our representatives and servants, (and not our rulers, as some ignorantly style them,) both in our national and State Legislatures, shall at once initiate movements for a peaceable solution of our difficulties, so that civil war may be avoided, and the wheels of business may again begin to move, and remunerating labor return
er, made an elaborate, able and masterly appeal in behalf of the rights of the South, and exhibited, in a striking light, the dangers which now threaten the people of Virginia. His speech was received with the warmest applause.--He was followed by the distinguished Senator from Mississippi, who, in a brief but eloquent speech, enumerated some of the causes which had induced his State to dissolve her connection with the Federal Union, and expressed the hope that ere long Virginia would join her in a glorious Southern Confederacy. He drew a graphic picture of the stolid indifference with which the recent remarks of Mr. Crittenden were received by the Republican side of the Senate Chamber; when that noble old statesman, turning round and addressing them, poured out the most eloquent stream of patriotic appeal that he had ever heard in his life, their manner seemed even contemptuous, and was in keeping with the fact that no Republican has yet offered a compromise to the South.

h a substitute offered by Mr. Tomlin, (consisting of a preamble and series of resolutions,) were ordered to be printed. A resolution was introduced to provide that no person shall be elected or appointed a Bank director who is not a stockholder. A remonstrance of citizens of Henrico was presented against the extension of the corporation limits. The preamble and resolutions presented on Tuesday by the Joint Committee on State and Federal Relations was adopted, with an immaterial modification of one resolution. The report invites all the States to appoint Commissioners, to meet in Washington on the 4th of February, "to consider, and, if practicable, agree upon some suitable adjustment of the troubles at present afflicting the country. The mode of so doing is indicated in the resolutions, which declare that the propositions offered in the United States Senate by Hon. J. J. Crittenden constitute the basis of such an adjustment; would be accepted by the people of this Commonwealth."
The Crittenden compromise — coercion. In the proceedings of the U. S. Senate, published in yesterday's Dispatch, it was stated that the preamble and first resolution of the Crittenden report were stricken out, and Clark's amendment inserted, by a vote of ayes 25, noes 23. The following is the resolution stricken out: 1. Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress Assembled. That the laws now in force for the recovery of fugitiveCrittenden report were stricken out, and Clark's amendment inserted, by a vote of ayes 25, noes 23. The following is the resolution stricken out: 1. Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress Assembled. That the laws now in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves are in strict pursuance of the plain and mandatory provisions of the Constitution and have been sanctioned as valid and constitutional by the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States; that the slaveholding States are entitled to the faithful observance and execution of these laws, and that they ought not to be repealed, or so modified or changed as to impair their efficiency; and that laws ought to be made for the punishment of those who attempt, by rescue of the slaves, or oth

Crittenden, constitute the basis of such an adjustment of the unhappy controversy which now divides the States of this Confedebly of Virginia, the propositions embraced in the resolutions presented to the Senate of the United States, by the Hon.

The Alabama Senators were notified to-day, by telegraph, not to leave their seats until further informed. The trouble is in the refusal of the Delegates from North Alabama to sign the ordinance, unless the time of secession is postponed until the 4th of March. Although the Republican Senators yesterday voted against Crittenden's resolutions, their chief objection was to that part which proposed to divide the Territories hereafter acquired, but a measure of that character, confined to the present territory, meets with some degree of favor from the Republicans in both branches of Congress. It is known in Republican circles, up to the present, that Seward and Bates are the only selected members of Lincoln's Cabinet. The others are not certainly to be appointed until Lincoln's inaugural here.
