the Garrisons, the Giddingss, the Phillipses, the Summers, the Hales, and the rest of the uboli- tion faction, beve been working for thirty years to bring about civil war, and it will} go bard with ‘lem if they tail, The sanguinary manual of revolution and servile iasurreetion, published by Hinton Rowan Helper, was issued from the treason shop of the Tribune, in Spruce f@eut, during the whole of the Presidential campaign of the last year, and the atrocious sentiments of that book, which inculcates the destruction of slavery by means of insurrection in the Southern States, were endorsed by the signatures of sixty-eight republican members of Congress. It is not to be wondered at if many of them atill adhere to their former action, now that Mey have been successful in electing their man. Their whole present coursé indicates that they are thirsting for blood, and that they are resolved it shall flow in torrents. {n the Senate on Wednesday they voted to w mau against the printing and re- ferring to « committee the adjustment of the Peace Conference, and yesterday they did their utmost to get rid of it. The deluded fanatics imagine that if they get the opportunity of showing one or two of their Wide Awake regiments at the South the whole fabric of slavery will fall as if by magic. Hence they will make 20 compromises, and they are highly indignant at the “trick” by which the vote of New York against compro- mise in the Peace Conference was neutralized; and the Tribune boasts that it is a victory with- out moral weight, and that it will not be en- alorsed either by Congress or the President. ‘Their hopes are in “a baptism of blood,” as one of the fanatical journals describes the con- templated massacres. But if they should succeed in bringing on a civil war, and should be able to maintain their position, the day will come when the republican leaders will eat cach other up, as did the factions of the French revolu- tion—the extremes of the Mountain squelching the party of the Gironde, the Commune making minced meat of the Mountain, and the Decem- virs, with Robespierre at their head, dooming to the guillotine the leaders of the Commane, till at last Robeepierre himself, in turn, fell by ‘the decree of his own Decemvirs, and thus the revolution, like Saturn, devoured its own chil- dren. “Your Lire’s iy Daycer.”—Several years ago Burton used to play in a piece which had for its title this startling caption, “Your Life's in Danger.” The plot of the play rests upon a question of mistaken identity—a footman being pursued as a crown prince who has escaped from his dominions in order to avoid the scaffold. After a tremendous scare the unfor- turate servant is released, and the play comes to anend. It has seemed to us that there is good deal of this farcical element in the alleged plots against the life of the President elect. All the stories of mysterious individuals, with hand grenades, bombs and air guns; all the rumors of secret associations bound together by solemn oaths to take away Mr. Lincoln’s life, sound more like the incidents of a Bowery melodrama than the sober recital of the events of this utilitarian age. Still, although every- body laughs, some of the republicans keep up the cry, and one declares that there is still another plot to assassinate Lincoln, and that the attempt is to be made on Inauguration Day. Some of our very sharp detective officers have discovered that the Capitol is to be blown | up, and that all of our newly clected rulers are to be cut off at the same moment. We presume that the same “merchdftts, bankers and states- meu” who endorsed the Baltimore plot are deep in this latter conspiracy. Will our enter prising cotemporary furnish us with the names of the “merchants, bankers and statesmen” aforesaid’ Although unsuccessful, they should still have their proper place in history. Mean- | Aime, how comes on the Inauguration plot? ‘Tue New Tarr or tur Sovraers Coxrr- penscy—lis Operation oy Bust ix New Yorx.—-The sudden rush of business in New York, in consequence of the new Southern tariff coming into operation on the 4th of March, presents quite a contrast to the dulness and suspension of business which have pre- wailed ever since the Presidential election. An account of the operations may he seen in another column. Any goods shipped and at sea before the 4th of March will go free. of duty to the Confe. ‘derate States. Hence the excitement and the bustle at our docks. As a considerable portion of the goods ordered have already paid duty, a second duty would bring these articles to so high a price as to render them unsaleable, or cause great loss to the Southern shop- keepers. There are some of our merchants who, foreseeing the revolutionary times, did not order any new stock, who now regret it, as during the present week they could have made immense sales. Most of the transactions are either for cash or on new credit, in conse- quence of present payment of a portion of former indebtedness. The greater part of the ' . business done with the South for the last four months is merely negotiating extensions of pills as they become due, and putting off the evil day. But the business this week is of a different character, and has created quite a stir in the city. «+ Mvew Avo Anovur Norniwe.—The politicians at Washington are making « tremendous pother over the question of slavery in the Territories, and the radical republicans declare that they will never give up that portion of the Chicago platform which positively prohibits the exten- sion of the peculiar institation into any Terri- tory which may hereafter apply for admission into the Union as a State. On the other hand, the conservative republicans, knowing that the question is purely an abstract one, desire to waive it altogether. The matter was first agi- tated with regard (o Kansas, where there were never more than a hundred slaves at any one time since the settlement of the State. There was but one slave in Nebraska when the Terri- torial act went through Congress. Now there are lees than fifty in New Mexico, and a still emaller number in Arizona, In the other Territories, Idaho, Columa and Jefferson, In- cluded in the bill reported last year, there are | no slaves, not will there ever be any, om ac- | count of certain natural prohibitions of soil and climate, quite well known to every school boy. ‘The question, then, is purely abstract and senti- mental, kept alive by small politicians to serve their own ends. If Mr. Seward and the con- | \ wervative republicans have sufficient pluck to remove this whole question of slavery in the ‘Yerritories from the political warfare now *} being waged, the settlement of all ding 4} questions will follow in due time. Otherwise, we sball live te see the Most prosperous nation hat the world bas ever seen ruined by a seo- Jonal war, upon & purely abstract question, Pouice EsrionaGe Ramuyvine —It is said, and we have no doubt with truth, that Mr. Fouch¢ Kennedy, the enterprising Superiateadent of the New York Police Department, has swarmed the city of Charleston and other Southern cities with detectives, whore duty it is to note vessels arriving from New York which may have on board urms or other munitions of war, and fiad- ing out who are the sbippers bere. This despotic and contemptible system of espionage may work in the North with comparative safety te the persops of Mr. Kennedy’s agents, but if their identity should be discovered in the Southern cities just now, as in all likelihood it will be, they will be treated ina very sum- mary fashion. Iurartiauity or Srcretary Tovcry.—We complained yesterday that while Secretary Toucey had been very prompt in ordering a court martial upon Commander Walke, he had taken no steps in reference to Commandan Armstrong, who appeared to be equally open toacharge of breach of discipline. But we now learn that the Secretary of the Navy is impartial in this matter, and that he. had ordered Armstrong to be court-martialed. ‘That is all right. Fair play is a jewel. NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. THE SOUTHERN CONGRESS. Montcouenr, Feb. 27, 1861. Mr. Wright's reeolation for discussions on a permanent constitution will be up for public consideration to-mer- row. Mr. Chilton’s resolution, instructing the Naval Commit- tee to inquire into the propriety of constructimg several iron plated frigates, was adopted. The act to raise provisional forces of the Confederate States, and for other purposes, directs, among other pro- visions, that tho President shall take charge of all mili- tary operations between the confederacy and ether Pow- ers. An net was pasted to raise money to support the govern- ment. It authorizes the President to borrow $15,000,000, payable in ten years, with interest at eight per centum. The last section directs the laying of an export auty of one-eighth of a cent per pound on cotton exported after the first of August, to creato a fund to liquidate the princi- pal and interest of the loan. The Committee on Flags has not reported. IMPORTANT FROM LOUISIANA. Baroy Rover, Feb. 28, 1861, ‘The Senate passed a bill to-day appropriating half a mil_ lion for the dofence of the State from foreign invasion. The private despatches from Washington in the Picay- une of yesterday, stating that no attempt would be mado by the Lincoln administration to collect the revenue or take the forts is not believed. A communication was received in the House from A. H. Osborn, of Brooklyn, in bebalf of many citizens, ask- ing the extension of an invitation from Louisiapato New Jersey and the Southern Distriet of New York to unite with the Southern Confederacy. HK was referred to the Committee on Foderal Relations. The resolution of Mr. Lindsay to invite Southern Indi- ana and Illinois to secede and join the Southern Contedo- Tacy requires that their constitutions be pro slavery. THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

Tn tho Convention to-day Mr. Morton made a speech in favor of immediate secession. Io denounced the resul: of the Peace Conference as a miscrable abortion. Mr. Baylor, of Augusta, Ga., commenced a Union speech, pending which the Convention adjourned. REPORTS FROM VIRGINIA. Ricnmoxn, Va., Feb. 28, 1861. Mosers, Tyler and Soddon were serenaded to-night. Both made specches and denounced the result of the Peace Conference as a worthless allair. They declared that the South had nothing to hope from the republican party. Mr. Seddon said that the proposition adopted by the conference was a delusion and a eham as well as an in- sult and an offence to the South. Lieutenant Governor Montague is now making a 50. ceasion speech. The seccesion ecntiment is increasing among tho peo- ple, and if any measure of coorcion is adopted the North may rost assured that Virginia will secede. ‘The Peace Conference is generally condemned.

Twigg at San Antonio, advising of their successful efforts in behalf of Texas in obtaining a surrender of the public property in this military de. partment, and from the United States Army. ‘This result was accomplished by the diplomatic «kill of the commsrioners and the assistance of Benjamin McOul- loch, and is eminontly successful. The United States Army ix allowed to march to the coast by the articles of agreement, and to take with them their eide arms, facilities for transportation and su baint- eneo, as ye ‘aa two batteries of ‘lying artillery of four Sr the transportation means are to be surrendered, and left upon arrival at the coast by thiv treaty, without ono drop of bloodshed, and without sullying in tho least the honor of the United States Army.

J. Hoors, meray a Passed Pebruary 18, 1861, ‘This act was adopted by the Southern Congress on the 18th ult., te go into efteot on the 4th inst., and its pro, visions relieved from tariff charges all goods shipped within a peri@& of ton days after ite passage. Southern consumers and Northern manufacturers and merchants have in copgequenco been exceedingly active during the past fow days, the former in transmitting and the latter in filling orders for goods. The mails from the South, and the telegraph lines from the time of the passage of the act up to yesterday, have been busily employed in conveying these orders, with instructions for their im- mediate fulfilment in timo to avoid the additional charges imposed by the new act. The effect of all this has been to create an unusual activity in the shipping business of the various lines of steamers and packets destined for the ports of the Gulf States, and tho docks where these yeseels are lying have presented a stirring and bustling scene within the last few days. THE SOUTHERN STKAMERS now in port and to sail within a short period have been receiving immense quantities of treight long in advance of the date of departure, and in some instances have been obliged to refuse a large portion, owing to want of ac- commodation for it, Messrs. Spoiford, Tileston & Co., of the Charleston linc, have issued the following in refo- rence to shipments of goods by their steamers:—- NOTCH: TO SUPPERS TO CUARIESTON. We aro officially advised that all goods actually shi by our steamers previous to the 1st day of March will be admiited free of duty. SPOFFORD, TILKSLON & CO. One of theix steamers, the Columbia, sailed yesterday at noon with a large cargo, and the Marion, which is to sail next week, was receiving freight continually daring the day, the fore and aft gangways being in requisition, and is now very nearly fall. Although the Marion leaves Now York after the Ist of March, her cargo will enter Charleston free of duty, provided the bills of lading are signed not later than tho 28th of Feb- ruary, intelligence of which fact has been received by the Northern shippers. Tho samo conditions also apply to goods destined for the other ports of the Gulf States. ‘The steamer Florida sailed on Wednesday last with an extra cargo for Savannah, and the Alabama leaves to- morrow for the same port, ‘Fhe latter vessel has beon taking on board an unusual quantity of freight, and by the time of sailing will be completely filled. The Bienville, of the Havana and New Orteans line of steamships, has also been receiving large quantities of freight, and will sail to-day for the latter mentioned port with a Jarge accession to her vaual cargo. THE SOUTHERN PACKETS have within the past few days come in for a large share of chipments. Their steam rivals have always monopolized the transportation of the more costly kinds of goods destined for the South, but the new Tariff act, and the neccasity of immediate shipment to avoid the charger imposed by its provisions, together with the complete occupancy of the steamships, have compelled Northern shippers to employ all the vessels of every clase bound for ports of the Southern republic. These vossels lic along the Fast river, between the Battery and the foot of Catharine street, and have been loading during the present weck with every variety of merchan- dive. In many cases, such has been the anxiety to ship goods on board these vossels in time to avoid the revenue regulations of the new act, that the process of unloading has not been completed when the taking on board of the new cargo has commenced, and it was no unusual thing to witness two horses employed at the same vessel, one ix hoisting out the did, the other in hoisting in the new cargo. Stevedores, longshoremen and dock hands have been in constant demand with plenty of employment for them and their services have been often kept in requisition until nine, ten and oleven o'clock at night. The docks referred to have for this reason presented a very busy scene during the moonlit evenings of the two or three days just past, a sceno in marked contrast with their heretofore silent and deserted aspect at tuis portion of the diurnal twenty-four bours. They have been crowded during this timo with boxes, barrels, bales and packages of every sort, while carts and wagons are continually bringing aud depositing, and the accumulation of vehicles is often- times such as to provent the ingress to the vessols of others arriving behind them. The following voesels were londing yoatorday in a vory expeditious manner, and will take their cargoes South free of tariff charges, the bills of lading having been made out before to day:— Heary }. Russell, for Charleston, Charles Smith, for Chari ston. Alice Lea, for New Orleans. Sartolle, for New Orleans. Jearian, for New Orleans. St. Charles, for New Orleans. David G.
