| ‘THE EVENLNG STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: sere .Febraary 2, 1861. Spirit ef the Morning Press The nada treats the resolution adopted at a public meeting in Prince George’s county, Md, and published yesterday In the Baltimore Swn, that “Maryland will assert ber right to jurisdiction over the Distri¢t of Columbia in cafe of a dissolution of the Union;"’ 2s a question revolving within the sphere of the law and not pertaining to the domain of revolutionary vio- lence, where the voice of law is silenced by the din of arms. It quotes the first and second sec- tion of the agt relative to the cession of the Die- trict of Columbia, showing that a retroceasion of the District can only be effected by an act of Congress relinquishing all clafin and title. ‘The Repdlican says the demand from the North for some measure of adjustment is large and pressing, and that man is a most unwise politician, who-does not see that there would be great danger of a seriously divided North, if the republicans were not ready, to do anything, not repugnant to their principles, to remove all stum- blirg blocks in the way of a restoration of har- mony. Tux Sovrm CaRoLina AUTHORITIES AND THE Hon. Wa. Aixen —We perceive that Mr. J. D. Aiken, a relative of the Hon. Wm. Alken, denies, through the Charleston Mercury, that Mr. W. A has been taxed $40,000 in the shape of a forced loan, by South Carolina’s revolutionary authori- ties; that gentleman not being in Charleston to make the denial himself. The statement ap- peared origivally in this paper, published simply as one that was being freely conversed over in se- cession circles here, and for which, in se publish- ing it, we disclaimed responsibility for its truth. If this denial be true, and we have no reason to doubt its truth, we are glad that Mr. Wm. Aiken basso fer escaped the inevitable fate, sooner or later, of all men possessing property to ve taxed, indirectly and directly, to carry out the purposes of such perties as control the revolutionary move- Ments in the South. South Carolina’s ordinary Btate governmental expenses were about $150,000 per annum. Already the Legislature at its cur- rent session have made appropriations to meet the Pecuniary cost of the new state of things there for the next year, amounting to an aggregate of $1 900,000. Though the banks may have loaned the Government hundreds of thousands, and in- dividuals may have contributed an aggregate of sperbaps $100,000, and the ‘‘ Republic’? may have issued bonds aad notes to the amount of $700,000, all which have been done to meet those appro- priations, yet property in Seuth Carolina is to pay the piper sooner or later, beyond all question. No argument is necessary to prove that fact. In this connection we may mention that we have noticed that the Charleston Mercury vehe- mently and vituperatively denies all truthfal ac- counts of the state of affairs there—commercial, financial, &c., that are found in the press inimical to the secession movement; but, being well aware that it is engayed in hiding from the world knowledge cf what South Carolina’s revolution has already cost her people in sacrifices of every conceivable description, as well as the much- greater sacrifices to be exacted of them in due time, we have not thought it worth the necessary space in which to remind the public that inter arma, leges selent; and that when the laws are silent, and peaceful industry is given up bya community en masse for the pursuits of war, the sacrifices and sufferings of the people are neces- sarily measurable only by the Will ef the dictators ‘wth arms in their bands, who for the time being rule @ver them. He who does not know that eternal truth from his knowledge of history,which tells the same invariable tale in this connection, ‘will surely know it in due time, if living long enongh to hear South Carolina’s story for the past two and the next six months truthfully told. pote ciyaedesssma saa Tax Wasuinoton Convention —There is no longer a question as to which States will be rep- resented bere in the Convention to meet on Monday next; but rather as to which States professing to remain in the Union, will not be so represented. Our columns elsewhere to-day contain the names of the delegations from two or three more States, that have reached ua since the last issue of the Star. We are gratified beyond expression at being able to state that every delegation so fer chosen, whetherfrom South or North, iseminently conservative; neither of them embracing more than one man, each, regarded as being an ultraist upon the question of the times. It is no longer to be doubted that nearly all the Northern ‘States, as ‘well as Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten- nessee, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri. will ‘be represented by men bent on effecting a settle- ment that will keep the slaveholding States not professing to have already revolutionized, faithful to their allegiance to the Union of their fathers. ‘We see in the composition of the Convention entirely satisfactory evidence, that ere it separates, it will recommend some pian of settlement, by a ‘vote of three-fourths of all tts compouents, from ‘the North as weil as from the South. We are now very sure, too, that Congress will promptly accede to whatever it recommends. And we further forsee that upon that settlement the Union- ists will not only promptly triumph overwhelm- Iy in every southern State not yet identified with the cotton States’ movement, but in less than six months in every State so identified. Time, and time only, ie wanted to open the eyes of the masses in the Gulf States to the fact that they are being shamelessly sacrificed in their every material in- terest, by aspiring demagogues, aiming entirely to change the character of their political institu- ‘tions for their own individual benefit, and opera- ting by turns upon their fears and Prejudices. ‘The adhesion of Tennessee to the Union, secures Powerful cooperative movements in its favor in a very time In northern Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, and western South Carolina; while the entire destruction of their oceanward com- merce, which !s to grow out disunion, will, in a very brief period, make the bone and sinew of Savannah, Augusta, Mobile, New Orleans, and even Charleston, and the country immediately Surrounding each of those cities, as anxious to get back into the Union, as their mobs are now ap- parently anxious to get them out of it. peso se oniemineminnk 1] Taz New Youx Commitrzxz an tax Rurvs- Licay Memszrs.—Last evening. the committee coming here to present the New York 38 ,000- signed memorial for acompromise, invited a large number of the Republican members of both Houses of Congress to meet them for conference at Willards’. The meeting came off in one of the parlors of the botel. Mr. A. Low, of the com- mittee, was in the chair. In the course of the consultation, remarks were made on the state of the times by that gentieman and Mr. Dodge, of the committee, and by Senators Cameron and Foster, and Representatives Sherman, McKnight, Cortis, Grow, Nixon, Dunn, Spaulding, and others; the committee men urging a compromise of the troubles, and the rest generally expressing ‘gn earnest desire to arrive at some sstisfactory settlement. We learn that Mr. Grow, only, put himself upon grounds so extreme as to lead to the Anference that it ‘was not bis purpose to yield aught atthistime. At balf-pest eleven they adjourned ‘to the tes-room, where the proprietors of the house had spread an elegant supper; (seventy- five in number) remained, the affairs of the nation and the good things before them, pineal a See Tanzsszx.—Private letters fom all parts of ‘Tennessee represent that the Union feeling is car- tying all before it there.

Hovsz.—After our re closed yesterday, the resolutions offered by Mr. Kellogg as a substitute for the report of the Committee of Thirty-three, were read They provide that in all the territory néw held north of 36 30, slavery sball be prohibited; and that all territory now held south of 36 30 may be settled by slaveholders with their slaves, and when the Territory sball be admitted into the Union it shall be admitted with or without sla- very, asthe people of the Territory may decide That nothing in the Constitution of the United States shall be so construed as to authorize any department tp interfere for or against slavery in the Territory; and that this article shali not be altered without the consent of every State in the Union. The third Perseraph of the second sec- tion of the fourth article of the Constitution shall be taken and construed to authorize and empower Congress to pass laws necessary to secure the re- turn of persons held to service or labor under the laws of any State, who may have escaped there- from, to the party to whom such service or labor may be due. And the emigration or importation of persons held to service or involuntary servitude into any State, Territory or place within the United States, from sny place or countries beyond the limits of the United States or Tereitories thereof, is forever probibited. The House went into Committes of the Whole on the deficiency bill, (Mr. Burnett in the chair.) The consideration of the Chiriqui amendments occupied the committee till the expiration of the time allotted to this bill. The committre then rose and reported Progress. The House then proceeded to consider the re- port of the Committee of Thirty-three. Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, said he lookod upon tbe Union both as a constitution and a compact. He denied the right of a State to secede from the Union. We beheld South Carolina resorting to the most unheard of and despotic means to sever this Government, to overthrow the Constitution, and to imperil, if uot utterly destroy, the interests of the bee prong States, with whom she has so long lived on terms of fraternal affection. Loul- siana too had seceded. and by that act had com- pletely cut off the State of Texas from the still existing States of the Union. This was one of the most flagrant encroachments pon the rights, of others that had evercome to bis mpptolesc «ny Had ‘Texas foreseen the likelihood of a jon of this kind—had she for a moment imagined that this right of secession existed in the States, and that by virtue of it Louisiana could at any moment have seceded from the Union, Texas would never have joined the Confederacy. He believed ever rievance could be settled within the Union, pet d no doubt but that the slavery question would be finally and amicably settled. Mr Stokes, of Tenn, then addressed the House, See the speech of his colleague, Mr. Ethe- ridge. ben, at 4 o’clock, the House took a recess until 7. ye its reassembling, the House was addressed by M r.

Joux Savacz, Esqg.—We owe this gentleman an apology for not before noticing the fact that he has become the publisher as well as the editer of the States and Union newspaper, printed in this city. The published notice of that fact es, caped our observation until the afternoon of theday before yesterday, and a briefer notice of the change, which we indited yesterday, was lost in “sending up’’a crowd of copy.

The Commissioners selected by the Committee of the New York Legislature are composed of five Republicans and four Demo- crats, and inculde some of the most conservative men of the State.
