Lincoln on the Peace Congress.

A traveling correspondent of the Herald says:

‘ "Several of those traveling with Mr. Lincoln assert that before making any compromises with the South he desires to test the question of the right of any State to secede, but I have the best of reasons for stating in his inaugural the calling of a National Convention, whenever any of the States feeling themselves aggrieved shall ask it, will be advocated. He, in conversation to-day said that he regarded the Peace Convention as one of the most dangerous elements in our present crisis. No good would come of it, and when it exploded it would aggravate the whole affair."

’
