oyal States, or there will be civil war in the North." Will Lincoln "quash" them and "prevent civil war," according to the Herald? or, if he will not "quash" them, will "civil war" ensue? If we could reason about a Yankee as we can about other men, we would say that Lincoln would be compelled to "quash" the sentence, or to go on with his arrests, and to put in his bastilles not only the small men who made the excited speeches in New York city on the 19th, but Governor Seymour and Washington Hunt and their brother sympathizers generally. If sedition is to be put down by arbitrary arrests, then those arrests must go on. If he abandons that policy, then he must let loose Vallandigham. To keep him in prison and arrest no more men, would be but showing his own hesitation and fear of the consequences. To refuse to liberate him will only continue the cause of the excitement and that immunity to seditious declaimers which his failure to arrest them gives. Lincoln has most assuredly

Northern Conservatism. --The last Northern news recites the purport of the resolutions of a Convention of "old Whigs," held at Rochester, New York. Ex-President Fillmore and Washington Hunt were the prominent figures in this movement. The sentiments of the party as there expounded are favorable to peace upon the basis of a return of the States in rebellion under their State Constitutions "as they existed at the time they revolted"--to leaving the rights of property in slaves and everything else to the jurisdiction of the States--and to prosecuting the war only for the restoration of the Union, by suppressing the insurrection, &c.--but they are decidedly for that! They propose a National Convention. The old Whig party, or, as it was called, the "old line Whig party," which is understood to have composed this convention, is the most respectable, as it is the most unintentional, broken down and rejected, of all Northern political organizations. If they proposed anything whic

The court-house in Nashville took fire on the 1st inst. The flames were extinguished before much injury was done to the building. The delegates of the Democracy of New York to the National Convention embrace the ablest and most distinguished men of the party in that State. Hieratic Seymour, Washington Hunt, Amasa J. Parker, Sanford E Church, John J. Taylor, and Samuel J. Tilden are among them. And, which is a novelty for New York, there will be no contesting delegation. The delegation are instructed to cast the vote of the State in the Convention as a unit. The speculators in New York are on the increase. The Times says the crowd of outsiders in William street is now swelling to the proportion of the most excited times of last summer. The business is protracted to a late hour in

The speaker, appearing to regard the people about him as of the sort he knew in other days, talked much of Lincoln's usurpations and violated State sovereignties. We apprehend his is like the voice of one crying in the wilderness. We quote the following from his speech:
ts death put all power in the hands of the party which brought upon the country the issues which terminated in war. The writer of this had been a Whig, and felt the keen pang of mortification at beholding that powerful organization, in which he had put so much faith, melt away, like snow before the sun, and pass into the creeks and the rivers and the subterranean streams. It went down in the great flood, like a big ship, leaving nothing visible but the top, of its tall masts. Yes, and Washington Hunt, with a few personal friends, climbed up there and cried out to the storm for help; but they were considered crazy and were not heeded. The voice of this "last man" finally died away, and he, of course, was to be considered politically dead. Supposing that had the Whig party remained firm, the war might have been, at least, postponed, the regret at its fate was all the more poignant. To enter more particularly into the discussion may be a matter of complacency with our contempora
