That is: that it will agree upen @ basis of settlement by the votes of two-thirds or three-fourths of all its ccmponents from the South and from the North. We care not what those terms may be, because certain that they will instantly be gladly accepted by @s large 2 proportion of the voters of every State that does not claim to have already seceded. ‘We also feel assured that if the revolutionary Jeaders in the seceded States refuse to accept the same terms, they will be deposed by their people as fast asthe latter obtain opportunities to voie ‘upon their acts. Their policv bas everywhere deen to deny the people the right to vote upon thelr acts. In neither seceding State have they actorded to them that right, which fs the basis of all American liberty, and without which any government must be either that of an oligarchy, @ monarchy of some sort or other, or a naked des- Potism, military or otherwise. In this age and country it will not be long be- fore they flud that their people cannot be peflce- fully and successfully deprived of the right of self-government—the right to sit in judgment on the acts of those who, by revolutionary means, bave assumed to deprive them of the government common toall the rest of the people of this country. That matters are rapidly tending, in the seceded States, to the abasement of the revolutionary lead. ers and their schemes, is evident in the raising of the stars and stripes in New Orleans, end the Patriotic Union tone of the masses in north Ala- ‘bama and northern Georgia; and but for the reign of terror existing in Charleston, we should hear of demonstrations there among the commercial and working white classes, significant of the ap- Proaching downfall of the power of the South Carolina dictators. What is wanted to restore the former order of ‘things in the Gulf States by the action of the People of those States, themselves, in a very brief Season, is, simply, the arrangement of such terms Dy the Peace Convention as, in satisfying the Union-loving populations of the border slave- holding States, will assure the masses in the seceded States whose liberties have been usurped at home, that they may rely upon their counte- mance in thelr work of recovering their legal and constitutional rights under the Government of the United States. rf The Peace Congress will make such a settle- ment, and under its happy influence six months ‘Will find every seceded State restored to its alle- giance to the Union, by the exertions of the Unlonists within its own limits only. a as Hascocn, anpotHzr Worxs.—Stone, iptor, is holding quite a levee to-day of visitors at bis studio, ou New York avenue. The occasion is the completion of his statue of John Hancock, ordered by Congress for the Capitol. We bave only space to-day to say that the statue expresses a fine ideal of the man who signed his name toan instrument that might have proved Bis death warrant with a hand so bold ‘that Britain might read it without spectacles.” There is po bust of John Hancock extant, but Dr. Stone Dy availing himself of the best portraits of Han- cock and other resources, has succeeded in Pro- ducing an undoubted likeness. To this fact he bad the testimony to-day of a venerable lady, Mrs. Bradley, wife of the eminent Judge Bradley, of Vermont, who remembers Hancock well @ seen im ber youth. She pronounces the likeness Perfect with the exception of the cheeks, which ‘at the time she knew Hancock seemed fuller than dn the statue. ‘This is easily accounted for by the fact that be was a younger man atthe date of ber recollection of him than at the time the Portraits Were taken from which the sculptor obtains his data.

Of its dozen articles we do Giscover one which would not do credit to the ablest pobitcation of the kind, foreign ot native. A Tempest teh Tza Pot —The public were doubtless amused this morning by the publica- tion of # correspondence between Major General Weightman, commanding the militia of this Dis- trict, and the Mayor of Washington—or at least the acting Mayor of Washington; as who really is Mayor of Wasbington remains to be decided next week by the Citcuit Court, unless the scheme to stave off the trial, which is proposed to be esssyed we hear, proves successful. General Weightman inquires of Mayor Berret where the latter’s police are to be found in case some emergency arises that may make It neces- sary for him to seek their ald. Mayor Berret replies, indignantly, that he alone bas the right to use the police of the District, or rather to control them; vaunts his authority as chief executive officer of the District of Columbia; bis pre to preserve the peace and protect the rights of bere, under any circumstances whatever, with his Police force; and pitches into the authorities of the General Government generally, for taking measures to preserve the peace of the city until the 4th of March by force of arms, if that be necessary. Now, no man in Washington fails to compre- hend that two months ago the camarilla, who, sitting in secret conclave bere, plotted and directed the taking of southern forta by force of arms, and the revolutionary seizure of other property of the General Governmentin the South, embraced in their circle of such measures, a scheme to seize the public property in this city in the same way, and by a resort to similar means. The immense efforts to induce Maryland and Virginia to revo- lutionize before the 4th of March, which the camarilia essayed, were essayed especially to render successful their designs upon the public property in this city. The Richmond Enquirer, one of the'r organs, with more zeal than discretion, for weeks urged that organization should at once be completed throughout Virginia to the end of seizing the Federal Metropolis by force of arms. A political club of this city, composed with few exceptions of incumbents of small places at the expense of the national and city treasury, notorious political workers with the boot heel and brickbat, and of outside rowdies and desperadoes such as inangu- rated the reign of terror that existed here at the seasons of the last and previous municipal elec- tion: mpathizing with the revolutionary pur. poses of the camarills, in various ways satisfied all sensible persons of the readiness of their or- ganization to play conspicuous parts in the contem- plated seizure of W ushington. All know, further, that in Baltimore there were not long since, if not at present, thousands of con- genial rowdy and violent spirits ready to enlist in the same enterprise, after the fashion in which they precipitated themselves upon Washington, aud with the notorious countenance of the police Placed us, here, under the supremacy of the law of the revolver, bowie knife and brickbat, on the occasion of our two municipal elections referred to above. All know, further, from what the dis- union camarilla have ordered to be done at the South, that they would be sure to be provided with other and more powerful elements of revo- lutionary success by violence here, if allowed to do so with impunity. Under such circumstances it was the plain duty of the President to make assurance doubly sure, that if the attempt to seize Washington should be made, the authority of the Government should not rest—for its supremacy in the District of Colam- bia—upon the disposition of Mayor Berret’s police todo their duty; especially after the display of the manner in which they do do their duty in such cases, they made on the occasions of the two last Washington municipal elections. Upon the strength of that display, nine-tenths of our fellow- citizens realize that had the design of the cama- Tilla to seize Washington been allowed to be car- Tied out unquestioned, the chances were ten to one that, instead of exerting themselves for the cause of law and right, more or less of Mayor Berret’s police would most likely be found the aiders, abettors—chief assistants—of the invading rowdy horde. These facts are doubtless at the bottom of the policy of assembling United States troops here for the protection of our city by its ¢hief executive officer—the President of the United States. Mayor Berrett's pretence that with bis police force at his command, there was no necessity for any such pre- caution, is, simply, under such circurnstances, a display of cool assurance. In the style of bis pronunctamento, be endeavors to vaunt his official authority in Washington far above that of the President, and thus renders his Pretensions us ridiculous, as they are truculent. ——$—$—$<—_—____ New Booxs —From Peterson & Bros., Pbila- delphia, through J. Shillington, we have “Life in the Old World, or two years in Switzerland and Italy,” by Frederika Bremer; translated by Mary Howitt. In two volumes. The contest among American publishers for the opportunity of bringing out this latest work of Miss Bremer’s in advance of competition has been exceedingly spirited we hear, and the Petersons with their usual promptness and tact have managed to come out “a leetle ahead.’ They have, moreover, is- sued it in handsome readable style, and the “*Peterson edit'on”’ will doubtless be duly sought for by eager purchasers, admirers of Miss Bremer. Also, from the Petersons’, through Shillington, we have ‘A message from the Sea” and “The Un- commercial Traveler ;"’ a series of tales and de- scriptions by Charles Dickens, or by Sala, so much in the Dickens vein as notto be distin- guished. —_—________.

So much bad been said about wrongs and griev- ances, and States going out of the Union because they could not get their rights in it. that it was almost like a toasong. What could South Carotina of the territories when out of the Union which she Sonnet ge in it? South Carolina had voted no longer ago than the 25th of May last that no forther protection was necessary for slavery in the territories. There was no man in South Carolina who desired to carry bis slaves into new territory. She bad won by re, but bad got oppressive tazation and theright ree, ive ation to tyranize over the fates If the question could be taken from ans and submitted to the people, it would soon be settled. He would sooner see any line of division in the country than a division on the 7 Une. When disunion did take place the beginning of the destruction of slavery will take place. Mr. Johnson concluded his remarks by declaring that fact, truth, and argument were on his side ao chao a tesserae yield jt assent to resolutions proj ing c| in the Constitution, let the question be sabeniteed to the American people. On motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate went into executive session; after which they adjourned.

He expressed his concurrence with the recent conservative resolutions of the Legislature of New Jersey. Mr. Ten Eyck responded at some length in de- fense of his position. House —The Speaker laid before the House a communicati:n from the Secretary of the Interior relative to Indian affairs; referred to Committee on Indian Affairs and ordered to be printed. Mr. Spaulding presented a memorial from the citizens of New York, praying an early s-ttle- ment of the National difficulties, upon the basis of the Crittenden proposition; laid on the table and ordered to be printed ‘The regular order of business (bill for the pro- motion of the useful arts) wus then taken up, and the House proceeded to the confideration of cer- tain amendments reported by the Committee on Patents After a protracted debate, the bill was passed with amendments. - 208, — A STANDING recon FoR Vissi A an is now pending before the Legislature which au- thorides aad directs the Governor to raise and organize a military force of not less than ten nor more than twenty thousand men, to be caMed “The Virginia State Guard,’ which are to be organized Tike corresponding corps in the United States Army, and to be governed by the same regulations and articles of war.
