nment to be formed should be raised from imports. South Carolina had endeavored to dissolve the Union long before our grievances commenced; for our loss of slaves had been chiefly during the last fifteen years. He contended that the election of Lincoln was not the cause of the disruption; only the occasion — and he read from a South Carolina pamphlet to show that the cause had existed ever since the formation of the Confederacy. He believed they contributed as much as any other State to the election of Lincoln — that they went to the Democratic Convention with a purpose to break up the party and dissolve the Union. There was no policy in common between the border States and the seceding States. It is interest of Virginia to keep slave property high, whilst it is their interest to depreciate it; and in this connection he alluded to the probable re-opening of the African slave trade. It was their policy to support the Government by direct taxation; and to show what would have to b

Their shouts for Lincoln induced Mr. Wood, who has had the superintendeople, and the doubters were satisfied that Mr. Lincoln was not on board.

Plots of Assassination. The New York Times has discovered a wonderful plot for throwing Lincoln's car from the truck on the Harrisburg Railroad.--It asserts that "the list of the names of the conspirators presented a most astonishing array of persons high in Southern confidence, and some whose fame is not in this country alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers endorsed it, and adventurers were to carry it into effect. " Of course there is not a word of truth in this. It is not as probable as the story of the attempt to poison Mr. Buchanan at the National Hotel in Washington, on the eve of his inauguration. It will be remembered that the President elect was made very sick by something which he ate or drank at that hotel, and that hundreds of other guests, of both sexes, suffered from the same cause, many of them dying and exhibiting all the internal evidences of poison. The matter was never satisfactorily accounted for. About this time, we must expect sensation stories.
"An opinion as is an Opinion." The enigmatical character of some of Lincoln's speeches in regard to his future course, are about on a par with the opinions of that queer character in "Dombey and Son," Jack Bunsby. Mr. Bunsby is a mariner, and is referred to by his friend Cuttle to decide a most important point — to wit, the probabilities concerning the good ship Son and Heir, which has been some time at sea, and is supposed to have been lost. After examining the charts, comparing dates and stimulating his mental faculties with copious glasses of grog, Bunsby declares, first, that his name is Jack Bunsby; second, that what he says he stands to; third, as to the special matter at issue:--"Do I believe this here Son and Heir's gone down? Mayhap. Do I say so? Which?--If a skipper stands out by Sen' George's Channel, making for the Downs, what's right ahead of him? The Goodwins. He isn't forced to run upon the Goodwins, but he may. The bearings of this observation lays in the a
lack Republican cohorts show no signs of compromise. It is now believed that Weed has the inside track for the spoils, a fact which harrows the sensibilities of the patriotic Horace to the core. He professes to have no taste nor scent for the official larder, nevertheless, because Mr. Seward, in the innocence of his unsophisticated nature, did not offer him that which he supposed he would not have, he defeated the Presidential aspirations of Seward at Chicago and secured the nomination of the "Honest Old Ape" of Illinois. Now comes Seward's revenge. He is made Premier, and his trusty Lieutenant, Thurlow Weed, outgeneraling Greeley at every move, is believed to control the dispensation of the official patronage. To a man of Horace's high sense of honor, this ingratitude of Lincoln must be as crushing as the dagger with which "the well beloved Brutus"" stabbed the Roman tyrant. We expect to hear soon that "Ingratitude, more keen than traitor's steel," has made an end of Greeley.
From Washington. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Feb. 23, 1861. News! Large and late news ! The first thing we heard this morning, after opening our eyes, was "Lincoln is here." No one seems to doubt it. He arrived at 6 o'clock A. M., having sneaked through Maryland in the night. And this is the great man, "six feet four inches high," with "recent whiskers" and "a pretty chin; tremendously rough and tremendously honest and earnest;" who declared in Philadelphia National Rifles went through the manual there to the tap of the drum. Neither of your crack companies in Richmond could have done it better. In the Peace Congress, yesterday, amendment was piled upon amendment until the day was consumed. Lincoln being at Willard's, he may order a vote to be taken to-day. The doubly- diluted Crittenden compromise will pass. It is a very weak swindle. But Southern men refused to have it any stronger. Recent elections in the interior counties of Ne
President Lincoln "Or any other Man." --Mr. Lincoln in his speech at Peekskill, on his way from this city to New York, managed to work in the can't phrase of the day "or any other man" as follows: "I will say in a single sentence, in regard to the difficulties that lie before me and our beloved country, that if I can only be generously and unanimously sustained, as the demonstrations I have witnessed indicate I shall be, I shall not fail; but without your sustaining hands I am sure Mr. Lincoln in his speech at Peekskill, on his way from this city to New York, managed to work in the can't phrase of the day "or any other man" as follows: "I will say in a single sentence, in regard to the difficulties that lie before me and our beloved country, that if I can only be generously and unanimously sustained, as the demonstrations I have witnessed indicate I shall be, I shall not fail; but without your sustaining hands I am sure that neither I, nor any other man, can hope to surmount those difficulties."
e of Guthrie's proposition, "that neither the Constitution, nor any amendment thereof, shall be constituted to give Congress power to legislate to abolish or control, within any State or Territory, the relation of slavery, nor the power to interfere with the slave trade," was offered as an adjustment. The Conference is in session to-night, and strong efforts are being made to come to a conclusion on the subject before adjournment. The most reliable report as to the construction of Lincoln's Cabinet is that Mr. Seward will be Secretary of State; Mr. Bates, or Missouri, Attorney General; Mr. Gilmore, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy; C. B. Smith, of Indiana, Secretary of the Interior; Mr. Wells, Postmaster General; Gen. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Treasury. Several gentlemen are prominently mentioned for Secretary of War. The statement is thus communicated without vouching for its accuracy. Private advices received to-day from Montgomery say that
