‘THE EVENING(STAR. WASHINGTON ©ITY: THURSVAY Tetal. +. .d.: December 20, 1860. —;_——K*z—*£2&@aQKLz=—E&&[——EEO Spirit of the Morning Press. The Comsircutzon criticizes Senator Jobnson’s speech, sad with its usual alacrity snuffs a bad motive Tt Inquires: “ What prompted such a speech from such a poop hed it genuine free- soi o1 hope of reward - sigh conan says of the Republicans: “ "They ae the traiforé. They sre the @tzuaion- fsts. And the South will be justified before God and man io refusing to surrender to the tender mercies of such aggressors.’ - The Intelligencer is occupied with Congres- sional proceedingsand news. ANOTHER Sexsatt ‘The able and emphatic speech delivered yesterday by that representative man, Andrew Johnson, in the Senate, hasalready generated intense excitement among the dis- unionists per se in Washington. Juniors among them are freely declaring that ‘hanging ts too good for the traitor.’ Traitor to what, or whom” To the proposed limited monarchy and oligarchy in the South! Toa dlétatorship of such states- men as Messrs. Keltt, Iverson, Wigfall, the Charleston Mercury & Co? Mr. Jobnson is emphatically the representative Of the laboging citizens of the South, and of the immense-ciass there of quiet business men in all walks in life, whe, while they eschew the trade of politics and the no less pestiferous trade of filibustering;—the vocations of nine-tenths of the noistest @isunionists of the times—are far more deeply interested im the preservation of the many blessiags of' govertimentt now enjoyed by the people of every settion of this country, than in the reopening of the African slave trade and a new cut, shoffie, and deal of property, positions, &c_, throughout the United Statéa. Thoseclasses spoke in the Senate chamber yesterday, through Mr. Johnson, in langage that made it plain that they are at length awakening to the necessity of Protecting themselves from the dangerous schemes ef the politicians and filibusters by trade in their midst. The indications of his speech alarm the disunionists per se intensely. Hence the vehe- mence of their denunciations of the orator. They dreaded nothing so much as that those whom Mr. Johnson represents might organize ere their schemes be consummated; and they accept his earnest effort against their counsels, as evidence that what they have thus dreaded, is about to come to pass Tae Spsciat Commitras oF THinty-THREE are understood to have devoted their session of yesterday te the discussion, in ten-minutes’ Speeches, of the various propositions concerning the future of slavery in U.S. Territories before them. No result was obtained We regret to add, that the disposition manifested by the North (in the Committee) not to permit their section to accord to the South what the Supreme Court bas adjudged to be their rights, was much more de- cided than we had expected from the outside con- versational explanations of their views previously made by many of the northern committee men. Their proceedings make it clear that as yet there is little hope that this Congress may do anything in the way of aiding those at the South who would save the Confederacy from disruption, in that labor of true patriotism P.3.—it is understood that to-day the commit- tee will vote directly on what is rezarded as the Southern proposition with reference to that sub- ject; which in substance is believed to be em- braced in the already so popular plan explained by Senator Crittenden in his recent speech. A New Rewor Every Five Mixvrss.—Turn as one will in Washington, a new and more ex- citing rumor of important events reaches his ears, each succeeding one more exciting than the last. Thus, to-day we were told thata telegraphic dispatch had been received by the Government announcing that the South Carolina Convention sad passed the ordinance of secession. In a few brief moments afterwards we were assured that another dispatch bad also been re- ceived, announcing the taking of Fort Moultrie by South Carolina. In both Houses of Congress to-day, the subject of similar rumors formed the actual staple of their discussion while we were in their galleries All this reminded us forcibly of what history tells of the State of Athens, when in the beginning of the fimal decline of her power, she was soairely beset by enemies on every side (as sorély as this Government is now by disunionists per se on the one hand and abolitionists on theother,) as that all im that city gave themseives up wholly to the taak of asking each other “ What's new to-day ?”" Opzma Next Monpay.—The Italian Artist Asso- elation will give the opera of Don Pasquale and the last act of Favorita, on*Monday next. in this city. The troupe is composed of the Washington favorite, Mad. Colson, Miss Ada Phillips, Signors Brignoli, Ferri, and Susiai, under the direction of Signor Muzio. Our faskionable circles will undoubtedly bear with delight of this opportunity to enjoy the opera. The sale of tickets will com- mence on Saturday morning, at the music store of W. G. Metzerott. ———_____. ‘Tux Sexarsz gallaries were crowded at an early bour to-dey, in expectation of hearing speeches from Senators Pugh and Davis, on the exciting subject of the times. Up to the hour the Star's report necessarily went to press, neither of them had taken the floor. The brief debate on the un- timely resolution of Mr.Clark, of N. H » howeverf fed the over excited appetite of the public for something even moreexciting, for the time being.

The first of these is the South Carolina leaders and their confederates in other States, who have long desired the destruction of the Unton, and avail themselves of existing circumstances as a pretext, so far as they are concerned, to accomplish their cherished object. Nothing, as these men openly evow, will deter them from their predetermined course, and if they be consulted at all their policy will be, as it has been in their connection with the adminis- tration and their control of its newspaper organ, to prevent all compromise and hasten the dissolu- tion of the Government To consult such men, when seeking means to preserve the Union, is but to take enemies into your counsels. The other class whom it is not only unnecessary but dangerous to consult, are the extreme men of the North who would at once rush to civil war for the preservation of the Union, without litten ing to the just complaints of the Union men of the South. They do not seem te reflect, that secession arguments on the one hand and Union arguments on the other, are, in the border siave- holding States, addressed to men who are smart- ing under*a sense of and from northern interference with their domestic institn- tions. It is but natural, that men so situated should listen with complacency to those who Promise them relief and satisfaction by means however desperate. Keeping clear of the disunionists per s¢ on te one hand and those who would at once rush into civil war on the other, let the lovers of the Union, North and South, particularly those of the border slaveholding and the middle free States, on whom the calamities of disunton must most heavily fall, coufer together and devise, if possible, a peaceful remedy for existing wrongs. This is not a very difficult task if approached in the spirit which gave birth to the Constitution. To secure the cordial adhesion of the people in the border slaveholding States, it 1s only neces- sary te relieve them from the apprehension of per- petual interferences by Northern demagogues and fanatics, with their local affairs. In several of those States, not one fourth of the voters are slave- holders; but they justly consider slavery an insti- tution with which their more northern neighbors have no busiuess to interfere, and they resent such interferences as indignantly as the slaveholders themselves. Neither class have any interest to be subserved by the disruption of the Union, and no men would be more loyal to it, if satisfied that the reserved rights of their respective States will be sacredly respected. It 1s a great error to suppose that all the north- ern mea who voted for Lincoln and Hamlin have any disposition to interfere with the rights of the South. A large mass of them are democrats who were driven from their party by the acts of south- ern disunionists, through whose insidious infiu- ence one obnoxious issue after another, culmina- ting with the Lecompton constitution and the act relative to the admission of Kansas into the Union, was attempted to be incorporated into their creed, They areas they always have been—the staunch friends of State rights. Another mass of those voters were from the oid whig party, who, what ever may have been their errors in other respects, had no design or desire te interfere with southern institutions. And it may be safely assumed that not one in twenty of those who voted the repub- lican ticket had the least conception that by so doing they were endangering the union of the States. How they now shrink back from the consequences of their own work is shown by the result of the recent elections in Boston and gur- rounding towns; and if such be the reaction in the very hot-bed of abolitionism, what must it be in the less excited portions of the North! In short, Lincoln’s election by a minority of the Popular votes was the result of divisions artfully Produced with a view to that result by the south- erm disunionists themselves ; and now, for the purpose of carrying out their disorganizing schemes, they falsely assume that there is a settled hatred in the North towards the South incompati- ble with the existence of the Union! Woe to themselves as well as their country, if they shall succeed in inflaming™the whole North with the hatred which burns in the bosoms of a Garrison anda Keitt, one of whom calis our Constitution “\@ league with hell? because it Protects slavery, and the other pronounces it « accursed”’ because It does not! If these inculcators of Popular hatred North and South shall succeed in their infernal work, Low long will it be before the North and the South, whether in the Union or out of it, will precipitate themselves upon each other in a con- filet more terrible than the Pen of history has ever yet recorded. Lest this number should be too long, I postpone to another my remarks upon the specific remedies which the occasion suggests. Amos Ksnpa.u. P.

Johnson read several extracts of letters from Governor Gist and Mr. Keitt, going to show that the policy of South Carolina is solitary and selfish, and as hostile to the northern slave States as the licy of the most violent abolitionists. Dissolu- ‘ion, he thought, would utterly overthrow the institution of slavery, and that the division will not be ety, < two or byt but i bl eps Sovereignties, requiring passports to go from 205th the other. He You Prefer a consolidated jovernment to this condition of confusion, if the form of government was to change atall. Mr. Johnson ibked what sort of government that of the Southern Confederacy would be? This gov- ernment was quite good enough for Washington, Jefferson, and other glorious names that had shed. lustre on our history, and was good enough fot him. Those y men who now threaten dis- union admit that had Mr. Breckinridge been elected they would not undertake to break the Union. On that principle, how are they justified in doing so because an ther candidate was suc- cessful? Mr. Lincoln waslawfully elected. Mr. J. declared that if the democrats pleased they still had the power in thelr own hands, for that Lin- coln was buta minority President. He was an advocate for a change in the manner of electin the President, and preferred the single district system, which he would have inserted as an amendmentto the Constitution. Let South Caro- lina send her Senators back, and on the 4th of March next we should have a majority of six in this body, which would keep Lincoln from baving a Cabinet until the Senate chose bim to do so. Mr _ J. declared his determination to keep in the Union and try the fate of another contest with the republicans in 1864, when he believed the repub- licans would be defeated. Mr. Lane said if the principles of protection to their property, and justice and equality to the South, are not maintained, this Government could notexist. Mr. Lincoln was elected upon his o| Position to these principles. He differed with the Senator on the of the Union; it is a volun- tary association of States. Washington, he said, wasa seceder. Mr. Lane said he was no dis- unionist; if be could not get his rights in the Union he would seek them out of it e thought disunion lific of a better future Union, with a much better government; since the present rov- ernment is a failure. However, he thought mothing had happened to indicate man’s incapa- city to govern himself. n motion of Mr. Pugh, the Senate adjourned. Hovsg.—After our report closed— Mr. Sherman pro, further to amend the de- ficiency bill by an appropriation of $900,000 to carry into effect the act of Congress of i819, and any subsequent acts for the suppression of the African slave trade. Mr. Phelps, of Mo , objected. Mr. Sherman sent to the Chair a letter from the Secretary of the Interior urging the necessity of this appropriation, which was read to the House Mr. Maynard and Mr Crawford were o to so large an appropriation, as it involved a cost beyond that cont plated by the act.
