rson Etheridge, talking to a large group of Republicans, some days ago, said: "Gentlemen, you must give us something. Anything will do.--The Southern people want a pretext; it matters little what. Give us a brickbat, a spittoon, anything." Seward has given a quietus to the Morrill tariff. Lincoln has declared against its passage during the present session. A new Congress will be called as soon as possible — say the 1st of June--and by that time Abe expects to have mastered the subject bbut I am not at liberty to state these particulars. His serene, rail-splitting, joke-telling Excellency, Abraham the 1, will reach here on Saturday, and will forthwith ensconce himself behind the arras of the Cass-palace of the Grand Vizier, Seward. He will not be allowed to show his awful person to the vulgar herd until he has been inaugurated under cover of Fuss and Feathers' cannon. To alleviate his imprisonment, he will be permitted to tell one filthy anecdote per day through the key-

Seward and Chase. The "Washington Confederacy," of Monday, referring to a rumor that Chase, of Ohio, has been selected by Mr. Lincoln as his Premier, instead of Seward, says: As much as we detest abolitionism, we prefer Wm.

Congressional. Washington, Feb. 19. --Senate.--The usual memorials for and against coercion were presented. Mr. Seward presented a memorial praying an enactment against unmitigated scribbling. The Tariff bill was debated. Hose.--Mr. Fenton, of Mo., introduced a resolution that the best means of suppressing the national trouble is by a Convention of the whole people. Mr. Stanton's bill, authorizing the President to accept volunteers to execute the Federal laws, &c., was resumed. Mr. Stanton said one of two things was necessary — either to admit the right of secession, or suppress it. That the Federal army contained only 18,000 men, and that sixty days must elapse before 5,000 could be concentrated here to protect the city, should Maryland and Virginia secede. Mr. Bocock, of Va., said this was a declaration of war, and appealed to those around him, in favor of preserving Southern Rights, to stand up in resistance to the bill. Mr. Boteler, of Va.,th
