WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY............. Febranry 16, 1561. Spirit ef u jerning Press The Intelligencer argues that the settlement ef the national ditticulties should not be embar- Yassed by a demand for guarantees ef any sort with regard to territory hereafter to be acquired, Dut that the Government has territory enough, and any such guarantee would be buta bait and temptation for filibusterism, and an endless source of jealousy and contention. The Republican says : anes « epublican Caucus, Inst night, - ssnaieeeneed Mr. Bingham’s force bill, which autborizes the collection of revenue on shipboard, outside of insurrectionary ports. It will be pressed to its passage next week * (ee ‘Tus Peace Conrenence —Washington is filled ‘with rumors to-day concerning violent opposition in this body to coming to any settlement of the questions before them. There is doubtless too inuch foundation for them. The radical wing of the Republican party in the body, as in Congress, are bent on trying the dangerous experiment of Pooh-poohing the troubles of the times, and rely- Ing upon the next Congress to appropriate the means of maintatning the authority of the United States over the seceded States, and upon the peo- ple of the border slaveholding States to aid in upholding that authority under circumstances in which they will find their institution of slavery Hable to be disposed of by a northern majority of two-thirds or three-fourths of the States, in accord- ance with the terms of the Constitution: seven or eight extreme Southern States having withdrawn from the Union. Now, they may not reasonably rely upon either. If the Peace Congress fail to initiate satisfactory terms of settlement, the party which is now as- suming to be the regulators ef the policy of the incoming adminis:ration, the coercionists, will find themselves utterly unable to control the next Congress; and ere that can meet in called session, the border slaveholding States will be in conven- tion by themselves devising means for the protec- tion of their rights out of the Union. That they are loth, indeed, to take any such step, all now realize. But if the ideas of Messrs. Sumner, Wade, Fields & Co., are to prevail in the Govern- ment, with seven or eight slavebolding States out of it, the question of the secession of the rest of them is simply one of time—and very short ‘time at that, We have done our best, as all know, to resist the current of secession, and still believe that under almost any circumstances it will be best for the border slaveholding States to remain in the Union. But it is our duty to state frankly that there is no more prospect that the incoming Items Telegraphed from Washinzten, Wasuineton, Feb. 15—The committee ap- inted to matter for the consideration of ibe Peace Convention to-day reported a plan of pacification. It is understood to be compounded ef the propositions of Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Guthrie, and of the border State committee's res- olutions, and, among other things, applies the Princtple of the Missourl com; ise north of 36° 30’, and popular sovereignty south of that line. The membe's of the Convention bave been in constant consultation with their respective Con- gressional delegations, and have derived some en- couragement as to a successful result. Every effort will be made to carry the plan throngh the Convention before the close of this week. It is said that assurances have recently been re- ceived that no attack will be made on either Fort Sumter or Fort Pickens, and that as soon as Mr. Davis shall bave been jnaugurated President of the Southern Confederacy he will send a Minister to Washington, with [sete to negotiate with this Government concerning the various matters in dispute. However this may be, it is certain, as ascerta! from an undoubted source, that Major Anderson feels himself secure in his ition, and, should he be assailed, no doubt {s entertained that he can hold the fort until succored by Gov- ernment.

[Immense cheering cries of “Good,” “That's right ”) The condition of the country is an extraordinary one, and fills the mind of every patriot with anx ity and solicitude.

If the great American people only keep their temper on both sides of the line, these troubles will come to an end, and the question that now distracts the country will be settied just as surely as all other difficulties of alike charac- ter, which bave originated in tne Government, have been adjusted. Let the people on both sides keep their seif- ion, ed 28 other clouds have passed and cleared away {n due time, so will this, and this ct nation continue to prosper as heretofore. [Loud applause] But, fellow citi- zens, I have spoken longer on this subject than I iutended in the outset. (Cries of “Go on, goon.’’) I shall say no more at present Fellow-citizens : As this is the first opportunity I have had to address a Pennsylvania assem bla; it seems « fitting time toindulge ina few remarks on the important question of the taritf, a subject of great magnitude, and one attended with many difficulties, owing to the great variety of interests involved. So long as direct taxation for the sup- rt of the Government is not resorted to, a tariff snecesszry. A tariff is to the Government what Meat js to a family; but while this ts admitted, it still becomes necessary to modify or change its operations, according as new Interests or new cir- cumstances arise. So far, there is little difference of opinion among politicians, but the question as to how far imposts may be adjusted for the pro- tection of Lome industry. gives rise to numerous views aud ovjections. 1 must confess tha: 1 do erstand the subject tn ail its 1 rm beaiiugs, but { promise you that 1 wiil vive itm closest ailention, and endeavor to compreend {t more fully. And here I may remork that the Chicago platform contains a plank upon this sub- Ject, which I think should be regarded as a law for the incoming administration. [Immense de- monstrations of applause.] In fact, this question, as well as all other subjects embodied in that plat: form, should not be varied from what we gave the people to understand would be our policy when Wwe obtained their votes. [Continued applause } Permit ine, fellow-citizens, to read the tariff plank of the Chicago platform, or rather have it read in ae hearing, by one whe has younger eyes than ve ly, for this Mr. Lincoln’s private secretary then read sec- tion twelfth of the Chicago Platform, as follows : “Phat while providing revenue for the support of the General Government by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these i rts a& may encourage the development of the i lal Interest of the whole country; and we commend that policy of national exchanges,which Secures to the workingmen liberal wages, to agri- culture remucerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, it ee Tux Contast on PresiDEst oF THE ViRGINIA ConvENTION was a close one, between John Jan- ney, of Loudoun, and Valentine W. Southall, of Albemarle. _Mr. Janney was supported almost entirely by those members who may be regarded as being most earnest Union men, while Mr. Southall, who is a conditional Union man, prob- ably pledged to vote for secession unless the Crit tendeu platform be adopted by the Peace Con- vention, was voted for by the immediate seces- Sionists and the conditional Union men, with here and there a vote from gentlemen whom we Know to be disposed to accept the Guthrie plan or the border State settlement. Mr. Janney’s ma- jority was ten, and there were thirty-four absen- tees, a majority of whom—being from far distant (western ).counties—are earnest Unionists. Under these circumstances we are satisfied that those who are calculating (a3 disunionists in ‘Washington are) that the Virginia Convention ‘Will pass a secession ordinance unless the Critten- den piatform, pure and simple, be agreed upon by the Peace Convention, are reckoning without their host.

The treasury of the nation isin such a low coudition at present that this Peet now demands the atten- tion of Congress, and will demand the iumediate consideration of the new Administration The tariff bill now before Congress may .or :nay not Pass at the present session. 1 confess I do not un- derstand the precise provisions of this bill. Ido not know whether it can be passed by the present Congress or not. It may or may not become the law of the land, but if it does pass, that will bean end of the matter untila modification can be effect- ed, shouid that be deemed necessary. If it does not puss, and the latest advices I have are to the effect that it Js still pending, the next Congress will have to give it the earliest attention. Ac- cording tomy political education, am inclined to believe that the people in the various sections of the Sponge d should have their own views carried out through their respresentatives in Congress. If the consideration of the tariff bill should be Froese until the next session of the National egislature, no subject should engage your representatives. more closely than that ef the tariff. If I have any recommendation to make, it will be that every man who is called upon toserve the people ina representative capacity, sbould study the whole subject thoroughly, as I intend to do myself, looking to all the area in- terests of the common country, so that when the time for action arrives to edvocate that protection may be extended to the coal and iron of Bi vania, the corn of Illinois, and the of Chi- cago. Permit me to express the hope that this important subject may receive such consideration atthe hands et png representatives that the inter- est of no part of the country may be overlooked, but that «li sections may share incommon benefits of a just and equitable tariff. (Applause.) But 1am trespassing upon Hara patience, [eries of ‘No, no”? “vo on,” “we'll iten,,"’] and must bring my remarks to close. Thanking you most cordtall '. for the kind reception = bave extended 4 me, I bid you all adieu.
