will his election do us? He is a war man — a decided war man — and is run as a war candidate. He is proclaimed by his friends to be a State-rights man. But what sort of a State-rights man? He was the man, as Mr. Harris, of Maryland, justly said, who initiated that policy by which the rights of the States in Lincolndom were completely prostrated. He ordered the arrest of the whole Legislature of Maryland. A very singular sort of State-rights man this, to be sure. He is also accused by Greeley of being a friend to the slave power. We take it some of our farmers on the Peninsula could tell a very different tale from that. He is, however, at any rate, determined to restore the Union as it was, and that, under the circumstances, means that he will continue the war if elected. How, then, he can be considered any better for our purposes than Lincoln himself (whose unscrupulous tool he was while he commanded the army) we are unable to see. One of the means by which the "Platfor

ty, and the conquering party, and the party that is sure to win in the end, can afford to offer generous and magnanimous terms to the people of the South, who, however erring, are still our brethren — bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh. Mr. Greeley himself, the great anti- slavery leader, who commanded and demanded the emancipation proclamation, is now, I believe, willing to take any ground consistent with the national dignity to secure a reconciliation between the two contending sections.--Nay, it is not a violent presumption that Mr. Greeley would be willing to ignore that proclamation in order to secure such a reconciliation. We are not fighting a foreign foe. The blood poured out in this war for liberty mingles with the blood that is poured out, not for slavery, but for an ideal Southern independence, and if we can change this latter sentiment into the belief that Southern independence can be better maintained in the old Union, why should not all the issues, except that o

ate Convention. There appears to be less interest taken than usual by the politicians of the party. The operations of the politicians this evening are such as to lead an observer of their movements to infer that both factions desire to do something that will so embarrass the Republican party that it will be impossible for Lincoln to carry the State. The old stagers and leaders of the faction in the party are on hand. Weed and Opdyke are here at work against each other, the latter having Greeley as his aide-de-camp. The anti-Weed faction are crowing lustily over their triumphs over Weed in the recent change in the custom-house, by the appointment of Draper, instead of Wakeman, in Barney's place, which is now a settled fact. The contest between these two factions is quite interesting, and has already exhibited signs of entering into every question, even the most trivial, before the Convention. It is also charged — and, in fact, the authorities have been notified of the fact — tha

elf-constituted diplomatists at the Falls of Niagara first produced the impression, and, as it was an agreeable impression, it was impossible to eradicate it. We suppose a meeting of those three celebrated, but somewhat mythical, personages, the man in the moon, the gentleman in the claret-colored coat, and the individual who struck the much-abused William Patterson, Esq., would have had quite as much influence upon the issues of war and peace as the meeting of Messrs. Holcombe, Sanders and Greeley, neither one of whom, so far as we can learn, had any more concern in the matter than the three noted characters introduced in the first part of this sentence. We endeavored to convince the public that it was so; but the delusion was pleasant, and they could not bear to resign it. Even Lincoln's notice "to whom it may concern" could not undeceive them, and it was quite useless to remind them that the two Presidents, by and with the advice and consent of the two Senates, can alone conclude

uth being united, a million of men were to march northward and conquer Canada for the North. The victorious army would then move southward, and annex Mexico to the dominion of the cotton planters. The programme was unscrupulous and wicked; but who shall say that it was not feasible? If we have misrepresented the views of these precious negotiators, we shall be glad to be corrected. There is too much reason to believe that such propositions were seriously debated between Messrs. Clay and Greeley. As we are ill prepared to make head against a million of men on the American lakes; and as even the Emperor Napoleon will recoil from the thought of having to defend his newly crowned brother against such a horde, the ventilation of his nefarious plot can have but one result in England and France. It makes us desire the utter ruin of the North. We rejoice to hear that Mr. Lincoln is becoming every day more unpopular; that a committee of Congress has denounced him; that governors of Stat

good) may come of it, Providence takes the matter in its own hands and evolves good from the intended evil. The cereal, sorghum, was introduced into this country from China with the design to destroy the value of one of the industrial pursuits of the South. It was supposed by those who introduced it, and recommended its cultivation, that it would entirely supplant the sugar-cane of Louisiana, and thereby render the cultivation of sugar unprofitable, and slavery a burden. Philosopher Greeley, the humane and Christian gentleman, who thinks all the white inhabitants of the South should be murdered, that the negroes may enjoy their inheritance, was the great promoter of the sorghum scheme. The Tribune was so full of it for several months that room could be scarcely found for anything else. It was to be planted everywhere, for it would grow everywhere. The great Northwest was to be a sorghum bed from the Lakes to the junction of the Mississippi and Ohio. In Missouri, it was to

We have received Northern papers of Tuesday, the 10th instant. The news is not important. The peace commission--the Tribune's views. There is a good deal in the papers about the peace mission of Hon. Frank Blair, now in this city. The New York Times thinks it entirely useless, as the Confederates particularly said what terms they will accept. The Philadelphia Inquirer ridicules it as time thrown away. The New York Tribune has the following (from Greeley's pen, doubtless,) about it: We did not feel at liberty to state what we have known for some days with regard to Mr. Francis P. Blair's second journey toward Richmond; but, since other journals have been permitted to receive and print telegraphic advices thereof from Washington, there can be no reason for withholding the truth that Mr. Blair started afresh last Saturday for Richmond, and is probably by this time a sojourner in that city.

Mr. Cox said that the resolution was modified since it was first read here by striking out of the same the words: "Before any action be taken to change the Constitution of the United States."--This was done at the suggestion of members opposite. "This, " he said, "is Mr. Greeley's preamble and my resolution." Mr. Washburne, (Republican,) of Illinois, moved that the resolution be laid upon the table. The rebels would accept no overtures except such as would be disgraceful to us. The question having been taken, the House laid the resolution upon the table — yeas, 84; nays, 51.

Great Discoveries made too late. They tell us of a gold, a silver, an iron, a brazen and a dark age. The present is the age of discovery. Let us enumerate a little: 1. Greeley discovered that the South was a bill of expense to the rest of the Union--the sooner it left the better. 2. The Abolitionists generally, that the South was a poor-house, and supported by the North. 3. That the generality of the Southerners could neither read, write, work nor fight. 4. That we could neither kick the South into a fight nor out of the Union. 5. That nobody but Keitt, or, at most, South Carolina, would insurrect. 6. That the paupers would sooner secede from the town farm than the South attempt to leave the Union. 7. That we could quell the South "by driving an old black cow down there." 8. That the slaves would do it in three months. 9. That one Massachusetts regiment would do it. 10. That three Massachusetts regiment could do it. 11. That 75,00
