The Peace Congress sat until a late hour last evening, ‘and the friends of adjustment insisted upon pressing a ‘Vote upon the main proposition, which is the Territorial ‘question. The radical wing, led by Chase, resisted by offering substitutes and in cousuming time by making ten minute speeches, This party have all alons sbowne do- termination to prevent action aad defeat suy')'c, snd everything that looks like adjustment. Mr. Frank)in, ef Pennsylvania, offered the following, as @ substitute for the first section of Guthri ‘s plan as a settlement of the Territorial question, This brought the queation to a direct vote and it was carried—fourteen to six—all the border slave States sustaining it. Here it — “In all the present territory of the United States north -of the parallel of 36 degrees, 9 minutes of north latitu te involuntary servieude, emmept ta punishment of crime, is ‘prohibited. Iu all the present territory south of that ‘Tine the status of persons held to service or labor as it now existe shall not be chavged. Nor shall any law be passed by Congress or the Territorial Legislature to hinder -or prevent the taking of such persons from any of the States of this Union to said territory, nor to impair the rights arising from said relation. But the same shall be subject 40 judici+l cognizance in the federal courts ac cording to the course of the common law. When any territory north or south of said line, with such boundary as Congress may presoribe, shall contain a population equal to that required for a member of Congress, it shall, if ita form of government be republican, be admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, with or without involuntary servitude as the constitution of such State may provide.” " ‘The next eéction, which relates to the acquisition of Cerritory, is still under discussion. ‘The border slave States are anxious to throw around ‘this important measure restrictions which will hereafter “be perfectly understood. They propose that the question of acquisition of territory by treaty or in any other mauner, except for depots or transit routes, shall be only ac- quired with the consent of a majority of the Senators of the slave States and algo of the free States. The ultra republican wing oppose this feature. They desire to leave it open, This section disposed of, as it probably will be to-morrow, and the whole trouble of the plan of adjustment will be ended, and their action will at once be submitted to Congress. After the adjournment last night the Commissioners bad a brief but pleasant interview with the President elect, whose presence in Washington, some say, has already produced a good effect in political circles. The deliberations of the proceed ngs have, it is repre- sented, been characterized by dig’ ability and can- dor, while a proper respect has bee: ©)\owt to conilicting views. THE POSITION OF THE Pl). NSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY. Wasuncron, Feb. 24, 1361. The committee of thirty-four leading democrats from Pennsylvania, headed by Juége Lewis and General Fos- ter, appointed by the Democratic Convention which ad- journed on Friday to convey a copy of the resolutions to President Buchanan , and the President of the Senate,and ‘the Speaker of the House, have arrived here and had an interview with the President last night. Excellent speeches were made on both sides. The President in- formed them he had read the resolutions, and that he endorsed every sentiment the-ein contained. The reso- lutions endorse the Crittenden plan of adjustment, are de- cidedly againat coerclon, and are important from the fact that the entire democratic party of the Keystone State have planted themselves squarely in opposition to the policy of coercion. THE TARIFF BILL. Wasmxaron, Feb. 24, 1861. The opponents of the Tariff bil! in the House will resist its passage to the last, unless its friends allow it to be ‘amended in severa! important particulars. It is the in- tention of the friends of this measure to rush it through under the previous question, but the New York city dele- gation, under the lead of Messrs. Cochrane and Sickles, will do their utmost to defeat it. The ironmongers from Pennsylvania are here in large force, determined to pass it. MISCELL. OUS ITEMS. Wasnixaron, Feb. 24, 1861. The Senate has ratified the convention betweea the United States and Venezuela, concluded two years ago. By this Venezuela agrees to pay the gross sum of $130,000, in liquidation of the claim of Shelton, Sampson & Tap. pan—$106,000 to be distributed among them, and the residue, that is to say, $25,000, to bo paid in liquidation of the claim of Lang & Delano. The original claim was, on account of the former parties, $655,000, and on that of the latter, $161,000. They grew out of ‘eviction from Aves Islan’ by the armed forces of Venezuela, and the consequent abandonment of valuable guano deposits and erections for its shipment.” Yesterday four commissioners were received from Kansas. ‘The proposition submitted in the House yesterday by Mr. Woodson for the preservation of peace, directs the Pre sident to withdraw the federal troops and employes from the forts and other public works in the seceding 3:ates, and all real property turned over to them in trust; but the jurisdiction of the United States over the same is not to be surrendered, and ali the personal property of the United States is to be removed from the seceding States. It Suspends the collection of revenue in seceding States, but authorizes points for the collection to be established outside of them—means to be taken to prevent the evasions of the revenue laws along the lines separating them from the other States. This proposition has attracted the attention of some of the Peace Commiesioners, the object being to avoid the calamities of civil war and promote the speedy and peaceful reconnection of all the States in the boads of more perfect and enduring union.

Operatic and Dramatic Matters. ‘The associated artists of the Italian Opera have every reason to be gratified with the success of their experi- ment. More than four months ago they seceded from the. | Mabagemeut then im power, and formed a sort of mutual Protection league. After a brief experience in Baltimore and Philadelphia, they returned to New York, and com- menced a season here under the most favorable auspices, | the Brooklyn Academy being just ready for occupancy. Between the two cities the artists have managed to carry on an exceedingly remunerative season, and there is every prospect that the opera will be given regularly in both cities until some time after Easter. The company has been made more efficient than ever by the engage- ment of the very popular tenor, Stigelli, and the manage- ment has been marked throughout its career by ox- treme cleverness and discretion. During the last week Verdi's latest, freshest, and, in a purely musical poiat of view, very best opera, ‘Un Ballo in Maschera,” has been given three times in New York and twice in Brooklyn to very large audiences. On Wednesday the President elect attended the Opera for the first time in his life, and the national air, the “Star Spamgled Banner,” was sung by Misses Phillips and Hinkley and an efficient chorus. On Friday, the 22d, in recognition of the birthday of Wash- ington, the air was repeated by the same artists. This evening the “Ballo” wil be given for the last time for the present, and we are free to acknowledge that we can- not exactly understand the policy of withdrawing the new opera whon it has been so well received. On Tuesday, at Brookly», Miss Hinkley will sing in the ‘‘Puritani,”’ and on Wedneeday Miss Jouisa Kellogg will make her debut in Irving place, as Gilda in Verdi's “Rigoletto,” with Stigelfias the Duke of Mantua, and Ferri as Rigoletto. ‘Several new operas are in rehearsal. At Niblo’s Garden the English Opera troupe, headed by Madame Anpa Bishop, has givétBalfe’s very familiar opera; “The Bohemian Girl,” on Tuesday, Thuré@lay and Saturday, with moderate success. Madame Bishop sings exceedingly well in Arline, but otherwise the por- formance was not equal to the requirements of the pub- lic. On to-morrow evening “La Sonnambula’’ will be sung. In the theatres the leading events of the week have been the joint appearance of Messrs. Edwin Booth and J. W. Wallack, Jr., in “Othello,” and Mr. Forrest’s per- formance of Jack Cade. “Othallo”’ was played six nights in succession to crowded houses, Messrs. Booth and Wallack sustaining the roles of Othello and Iago on alternate nights. Mr. Booth closed his engagement on Saturday evening. Mr. Wallack has been re-engaged to support Miss Charlotte Cushman, who makes her rentree at the Winter Garden to night as Nancy Sykes in “Oliver Twist.” Mr. Wallack plays Fagan, and Mr. 8. D. John- son, the original “‘Dodger”’ in the Park theatre cast, sus- tains the ame role on this occasion. At Wallack’s theatee Mr. Lester Wallack’s new play, “Central Park,” is announced for repetition every night this week. In consequence of the illness of Mr. Blake, Mr. Young has assumed the part of Mr. Kerr Flamberry, and playsit exceedingly well. At Laura Keene’s theatra “The Seven Sistors,” revis- ed and improved, bas reached its ninety-eighth night, and i3 announced for six more. On Wednesday the play will have reached its hundredth night, and in honor of the event a grand pyrotechnic display will be made from the frant of the theatre. “| At Niblo’s Garden this evnning Mr. Forrest will ap- Pear as Jack Uade, for the fourth time during his present engagement. At Barnum’s Museum Mr. Aiken’s drama, ‘‘ The Woman in White,” has been very successful, and it will be re- peated every afternoon and evening duging this week. Herr Driesbach, who has been engaged here, will also appear in his speciality as a wild beast tamer. At the New Bowory theatre the very succesafal comic pantomime, ‘‘Harlequin Jack,’ will be played this even- ing, together with Brougham’s drama, ‘The Birthday of Freedom,’’ and the afterpiece called “The Nobie Soldier.”’ At the Bowery theatre Professor Anderson, the Wizard of the North, gives his magicalfsoirees every night this week, and also on the afternoons of Wednes- day and Saturday. After this week the sojourn of Anderson in the metropolis will be brought to a close. At Bryant's Minstrels the Rarey and Jack Cade bur- Jeeques continue to delight large audiences, and remain io the bills for this week. 0 At Niblo’s Saloon Hooley & Campbell’s Minstrels give a choice programme for to-night. A new interlude, “Italian Airs by Foreign Artists,” is announced for to- night and every night this week. Axrisric MOvEMENTS.—Niblo’s theatre and the Arch street theatre, Philadelphia, are for rent after the Ist of May. Mr. Waliack’s new theatre, on Broadway, Thirteenth street and Fourth avenue, is rapidly approaching com- pletion, and will be ready¥or the public about the middle of April. The theatre is an improvement upon the old house, retaining its general features. An agreeable in novation is the banishment of boxes from the prosceni um. There are loges on either side of the orchestra, as in the present theatre, but none avant-scene, There will be one hundred and thirty orchestra stalls, comfortable seats in the parquet and dress circle for more than a thousand persons, anda spacious amphitheatre. The Broadway entrance is spacious, the lobbies and stair. cases roomy and wide, and the theatre altogether a mo- del, Neither Paria nor London has anything equal to it. The new house is now nearly ready for the finishing touches of its decorators. We are glad to learn that Messrs. Blake and Walcot, who have latterly been on the sick list, are rapidly convalescing, and will shortly make their rentree at Wallack’s. Mr. Wallack retains the lease of the old theatre for another year, and bas sub-let itto the director of the Theatre Francais, which house has been leaséd by the managers of Canterbury Hall. At the Stadt theatre (German), on Wednesday, M'lle. Scheller took her benefit, playing in, a new version of Dumas’ (pere) “Life of a Politician.’’ The fair bene- ficiare made a profound sensation by her performance, and was twice called before the curtain to receive the applause of an enraptured audience. Miss Josephine Gongenheim commenced an engagement at the Washing: ton theatre on Wednesday, and is now playing there to crowded houses. Mr. W. J. Florence has received a com- plimentary benefit from his admirers at Chicago. Mr. Jobn Brougham is engaged with Mr. Fechter in writing the Faster piece for the Princess’ theatre, London, aod it is stated that both of the authora will appear in the new play. Mr. Webster, of the Adelphi, in- tends to run Mr. Bourcicault’s “Colleen Bawn’’ up to Easter Monday, and it is estimated that the author's share of the receipts will amount to ten thousand pounds sterling. Miss Agnes Robertson and Mr. Bourci cault are engaged in Dublin, and after fulfilling that en- gagement will return to London to produce “The Octo- roon.”” City Intelligence.

GENERAL HENNINGSEN, 1) bas been stated by one or two-newspapers.that Gen. Henningsen has gone to Alabama in order to gain noto- riety by taking an active part in the secession movement. This is not true so far as the notoriety is concerned. General Henningsen, since he has made this his adopted country, has resided the larger part of his time in the South; he married a Southern lady, and seeks no notoriety atall, As a military man, be enjoys ahigh reputation, and his career in the Carlist war in Spain earned for him the reputation of a courageous and careful officer. At pre- sent he is engaged in the literary pursuit of preparing a work on Washington as a military man. General Henning- sen has always appeared a modest, unassuming geatle- man, and not likely to seck.that notoriety with which he is charged. GENERAL J. A. PARZ, General J. A. Paez, late Mnister Plenipotentiary from Venezuela to this country, residing at Washington, pre- sented his lotters of recall to President Buchanan on the 16th inst. He was introduced to t*e latter official, with, his Secretary, S. Camacho, by Judge Black, Secretary of State. Genoral Paez addreased the President and said:— My government has ordered me to go home, and I have the honor to present you my letters of recall. I avail myself of this opportunity to expross to you my deep gra- titude for the many kindnesses you have bestowed upon my persoa. I bid you adieu with the regret of seoing your great republic threatened by civil discord, and oifer to heaven my most fervent prayers to spare the precious blood of the children of Washington. ‘The President answered, regreting to take leave of General Paez. He had been a favorite with the government and the people of the United States. He wished a prosperous voyage to the General, He was aware of General Paca’s virtues and elevated character, and was sure that they were a firm guarantee for the order and peace of Venezucla. Shaking hands with him, the President said, “God bless you, General;”’ and so ended the last interviow of the Plonipo- tentiary Minister of Veneauela with our government. He is by no means joyful to depart from our country, and he hns repeated this sentiment to his many friends in Washington. He says that his intention was to re- main in the States for the rest of his days; but his friends in Venezuela urged so much for his return, and ‘as the Venezuelan government has appointed him to take his place in the army, he could not refuse to obey as asoldier and a citizen, and consequently he leaves t> try once more the pacification of Venezuela. President Tovar appointed Goneral Paez Minister of War in his Cabinet, but he declined the honor. He appointed again General Paez Plenipotentiary Minister © of Venezuela in Washington, and it was impossible for the General to refuse, as the difficulty between Venezuela and Spain demanded the co-operation of all the Venezue- lans. Happily for both countries, said difficulty appears to be settled, and the services of General Paez will be more important in his own country, where the govern- ment and the factions, contending in horrid bloodshed for nearly two years, have proved unable to vanquish each other, and both demand the good offices of a man of high standing with them to put an end to the civil war. Buch is the honorable ole that his good luck has prepared for General Paez, to tinish a glorious career of services and sacrifices to his country.» May he fulfil it with suc- cess. General Paez will leave this city on Wednesday next for home. Owing to the impossibility of bidding a personal farewell to his many friends, he takes tho op- portunity, through the public press, to declare the esteem in which he holds them, and expresses his sincere wishes for the proeperity of this country, which has been to him second home. SENOR F. PACHECO. Senor F. Pacheco, late Spanish Ambaesador to Mexico; F. De Zed Bermudez, Secretary of the Embassy, with his lady and mother-in-law, the Baroness de Regaleira; N. Ballesperos, Attache; Monsignour Clementi, Archbishop and Papal Nuncio to Mexico, and Monsigacur Colognery are stopping, with a numerous suite, at the Metropolitan Hotel, The party wore expelled from Mexican territory by order of President Juarez, They came from Havana to this port in the Spanish war steamer Velasco. WHO I8 MR. W. 8. WOOD? The mos! conspicuous part, next to that of ‘Honest Old Abe”’ himself, in the melodrama of the Presidential transit from Springfleld to Washington, was performed by Mr. W. 8. Wood, of this city. A thousand lips might have been heard at every stage of the journey inquir- ing:—‘Who ia Wood” ‘Who is the man that seemed to be clothed with supreme authority as to the movement, safety and comfort of the President elect, his family and suite? That claimed such implicit compliance with his pleasure? That baffled the impudent obtrusiveness o place seeking cajolers by planting himself squarely and bluntly between them and the object of their speculative, undesired attentions? That counteracted so vigorously the perplexing effect of the stupidity, joalousy and lazi- ness of the local committees of reception? That proved 80 immovable on the subject of deadheading to both high and low, and made almost as many enemies as friends by strict adherence to certain rules and regulations: ’ But although the inquiries were both frequent and eager no satisfactory response was obtained. The origin of the mission of the temporary alter ego of the President elect— the General Superintendent—the Commissary General—of the Presidential party, as he has been successively and alternately called, is still wrapt in mystery. Some pre- tend to know that Erastus Corning is at the bottom of his prominent ageney in the premises. Others appear to think that he was commissioned by Seward, my Lord Thurlow and other republican leaders, to see the inexperienced Presidential traveller safely on to Washington, And gain, some claim that he was the instrument of General Scott's apprehensions and precautions. However this may be, it is certain that he showed no anxiety to disclo e the sources of his authority, and that he was as much of a puzzle in this respect to all the members of the suite as to the generality of outsiders. Time will, doubtlessly, throw light upon the subject. We shall not be surprised to have frequent occasion to use his name in connection with the record of the incoming administration, Mrs. Edwards, sister of Mre. Lincoln; Mr. E. D. Baker, editor of the Springtield Daily Journal, and lady, and Mrs. Grimsby, all near relations of the Presidential family, are also sojourning at the Metropolitan. They are accompanied by Mr. C. M. Smith, a brother in law of Mr. Lincela, and Captain John Cook, of the Springfield. Zouaves. The party, with the oxceptionef Mr. Smith, will leave for Washiagton in the course of tho present week.

PiaTroma.—The republican journals are trying: to: the people believe that the proposition introduced in the Senate by John J. Crittenden is simply an endorsement of | the Breckinridge platform. How deceptive and wide of | the truth all such statements are we will show by a com- parison, In the first place the Crittenden proposition re- | establishes and extends the Missouri Compro. miso line, which the republican party were so strongly in favor of in 1858, and «jon the repeal of which their party sprang iato exist enge, About this there is not one word in the Breckin- ridge platform. The only point of comparison between the two may be found in part of the first article of Mr. Orit- tenden’s proposed ansendment to the constitution, and the second of the Breckinridge resolves. Tho former reads as follows:—- In all tho territory south of said line of latituce (36 30) slavery of the African race is hereby recognized, and shall not be interfered with by Congress. The resolution of the Breckinridge platform above re- ferred to says:— It 1s the duty of the federal government, in all its de- » tO protect the rights of persons and property in Territories, and wherever else its constitutional authority extends, It will be plainly perceived that there is hardly any comparison at all. The one acknowledges the exiswnce of slavery in only a portion of the Territories, and even there imperatively denies tho right of Congress to inter- fere with it in any manner. The othor recognizes slavery in all the Territories, and expressly declares that it must be protected by the ‘federal government in all its de- partments.” In every other respect the Crittenden amendments differ more widely from the Breckinridge resolutions than they do from the principles of the Nommya Wroxc.—Mr. Lincoln says there is nothing going wrong, and there is nobody hurt. Will the six hundred thousand mechanics and- laborers wh» aro now out of employment please stand up and give their evi- dence? Novopy Hvrt.—The black republican journals are very severe on Mr. Buchanan because he has not done some- thing to stay the tide of secession. According to Mr. Linooln there could not have been anything to do, for he says “there is nothing going wrong,” and “thero is pothing that really hurts snybody.”’ ‘Waar tHe Cuicaco PLatvorM Mgans.—No man knows better the true meaning of the Chicago platform than Jobn Wentworth, republican Mayor of Chicago. He gave helping hand in its construction, and he knows how to interpret it. Here is what he says:. Compromise one iota of principle in the republican platform, and the whole of these United States are slave at once; stick to the principles of the republican party, and they will all one day be free.
