ee THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: February 4, 1561. Spirit ef the Morning Press The Incelligencer urges the representatives of the Northern Sistes to avert, as far asin them lies, by =n affirmetive movement in the way of con- tion, the dangers that bave already ensued from _ matval misunderstanding between the Peopie of the two sections ‘The Aeputlican says the free States will 2ecepy no such thing esa peaceful occupation of Wash- {ngton by secessionists, after it is carried one hundred miles into a foreign country by the seces- ston of Maryland, ‘but will assert the national Jurisdiction over their epproaches to the national capital, at all cose of blood and freasure. There will be no “pee: Je negotiations’ on tbat point with anybody. The secession of Maryland is ‘war, a war upon the instant, a war without truce, and = war to be terminated only with the humilia- tion Of one of the parties to it.”” ee > TheUnicn feeling in Kentucky strengthens every day, and {s having its effect upon the Legis- lature in session at Frankfort. On Friday, the Benate, by a very decisive vote, passed a resolu- tion declaring it inexpedient at this time to take any action towards calling a State Convention. The Senate had siso made an appeal to the South to stop the revolution, and to Congress to call a National Convention, and proposes adjourning everto the 24th of April to awalt a response to these appeals. The example of Kentucky is one that Maryland may follow, certainly without dis- bonor, and, we think, wisely > Mr. Ire Harris has been inated by the Republican caucus of the New York Legislature &s the successor of Mr. Seward in the U8. Senate. The struggle wee understood to be between Mr. Evarts, a distinguished lawyer of New York, who was supposed to be favored by Mr. Seward, and Horace Greeley, who was pressed by the radical Republicans. Mr. Harris ts probably a compro- mise candidate; be bas no national antecedents, baving never served in either House of Congress. {> From the publishers, H. H. Lloyd & Co., New York, we have « The American Question in its National Aspect. Being, also, an incidental reply to Mr. H R. Helper'’s Compendium of the Impending Crisis of the South.’ By Elias Peiss- ner, Professor in Union College. From the hasty glance we bave been able to give this work, it strikes us as by far the most vigorous exposure of the fallacies of figures and argument of the mis- chievous Helper book that hes yet appeared. I> This ith of February is a day of important events. It is the day appointed for the of the Border State Compromise Union Conven- tion in this city; and for the assembling of the independent Southern Confederacy Congress at Montgomery, Alabama; and it is also the day set apart for the election of delegates to a State Con- vention in Virginia, on the direct question of ‘secession. U7" A great Union meeting was held at Charles- town, Massachusetts, on Saturday night, at which Mr Everett spoke. The meeting endorsed the Crittendea resolutions and concurred in the senti- ment of Mr. Seward, ‘‘that the question of slavery is uot now to be taken into account. We are to save the Union first, and will then save all that is worth saving.” Tue VaLevictory Appresses of Messrs Slidell and Benjamin, in the Senate to-day, were listened to by a large tudience. Mr. Benjamin spoke ex- tempore, but Mr. Slidell’s speech was delivered from manuscript, and so elaborately drawn up as to convey the idea thet it was intended to enun- ciate the future policy of the Gulf States. pence cae eal aban times &7- The Louisiana members are expected to withdraw from Congress to-day, excepting only Mr. Bouligny who will not withdraw until in- structed to do so by the people of his district. {>> The returns thus far from the Virginiaelec- tion are most encouraging to the Union men here. 17 It appears that the dense fog which envel- oped our sity on Saturday prevailed throughout the country. The New York Herald says: “A dense fog—the densest in fact that has visited this region for a long time—prevailed in the city all day ra) hjects could not be seen two hundred yards off, and asa natural consequence great inconvenielice and annoyance were experi- enced by the public. On the rivers the effects of the fog were chiefly unwelcome igation by the ferry boats was no matter, and to avoid the dangers of collision a 'P lookout was con- “nually kept by the pilots, aud the bells were ringing incessantly.

The docu- ment was duly drawn and presented to the Lieu- tenant, who accepted it as the only means of es- cape from imprisonment. Without this docu- ment he could not have passed through the State. It seems that a plan bad been cencocted in New Orleans for seizing the Crusader, but her com- mander was not to be entrapped. It was arranged that Lieut. Mafiitt should visit New Orleaus, and whilst there should be a with a din- ner. All the officers were to be invited, and the whole party made drunk. The city authorities were then to take heaped possession of the ship, and anchor ber off in stream. A gentleman called on Gen. Scott to-day, and inquired if it would be safe to bring bis family here.
