Numerous crisis petitions were presen

The galleries of the House wrere dense

the Members of the peace convention.
Suddenly a sound like cannon startled
everybody. ine members sprang to

The report of the committee of thirty
three was up. Mr. Ccrwin gave notice
that he should have to delay the debate a
week from Friday. Mr. Davis of Ma
riyand took the floor. He said six states
had rebelled against the supreme law of
the land, assuming independent powers,
seizing ships, and forts, and insulting the
national flag. He referred to the supply
ing of arms by a Cabinet Minister, to
tho5e who were about to make war. Com
panies wandering from State to State,
flagrantly violating the Constitution, by
stirring up rebellion, and a Cabinet Min
ister while holding his commission and
bound by cath to support tae Constitution
going himself from one state to another,
organizing another part of the scheme
of rebellion. WTe have seen the Presi
dent neglecting the warning of the first
Millitary officer of the age, and permit
ting forts be talen. and subsequently we
have seen him making a bargain with the
rebels uutil he should be relieved from
the responsibilities, instead, of defending
the public honor. He considered the
President incapable of filling his posi
tion. The constitution and laws must be
enforced, and those who stand across the
the path of duty must either destroy the
power of the Government, or it must de
stroy them. (Applause-) .The revenue
may be collected on ship board, and the
laws of commerce may be enforced by
not allowing vessels to pass out without
government passports. Hostile nations
are crushci out or suppressed according
to circumstances. He spoke for Mary
land who has confidence in the Govern
ment which protects her.
Mr. Kunkel. If you speak for that
State, I desire to be beard. Cries order
Mr. Dayis. I decline to yield the floor.
Mr. Kunkel. Speak for yourself, not
tor Maryland.
Mr. Davis continued and said that Ma
ryland docs not recognize the right of se
cession, or the right to cheat the supreme
laws of the land. Those who should pre
sume to inaugurate revolution, would meet
with revolutionary resistance on the side
of Maryland under the stars and stripes.
Mr Sedgwick sad so powerless and low
has the government fallen, that insignifi
cant Florida is flipping the disunion ban
ner in the face of the U S, and even a

He was opposed ta compromise. He
would consent that the slave States go in
to a separate confederacy with the con
sent of all parties.

xne lojiowmg is the stitstance ot the
concluding part cf Col. Hayne's letter of
Jan. 31:
After stating that the refusal to sir
render Ft. Sumter lobe the occasion for
war, he says if the evils of vrarare to be
encountered, especially the calamities of
civil war, elevated statesmanship would
seem to require it should be accepted as
tae unavoiualle alternative of semeihiej:
still more disastrous, such ns national dis

nonor, or measures materially affecting
the safety or permanent interests of the
people. South Carolina cannot by her sil
ence appear to acquiesce m the iniputa

Washington, D. C, Feb. 8.
Col. Hayne in reply to Buchanan to
day, says : "Although your emphatic re
fusal of my demand, closes my mission,
I wish to carry the impression that Car
olina wishes to purchase Sumpter. Car
olina would make compensation for mo
ney down to property. Bat the idea of
purchase is entirely inconsistent with the
idea of paramount right in the purchase.
Carolina claims to have dissolved politi
cal relations of your covernment. with
everything within her borders. . She is a
separate and independent government,
exercise sovereignty over every fort of
soil except Sumpter. The avowed inten
tion to hold Sumpter as a millitary post
by a foreign government, leaves the au
thorities there to netermine the proper
course to pursue." lie asks the Presi
dent if he was aware that the holding of
a fortress by a foreign power against the
will of the authontief, is the highest in
sult he can offer. He says Carolina has
not taken Sumpter because of misplaced
confidence in the Administration. He
has d eceived him. and thinks the reply
to the demand that the o.icunaticn of
Ft. Sumpter is no cause of the revolution
but for the protection of Carolina. He
concludes thot tf responsibilities- rest on
Carolina, that government is unconscious
of the fact. The letter of Col Havne in
reply to the president's reply through the
Secretarp of War, was not recived by!
the President till after the. special mes-
age and accompanying documents were
given to Congress. If the President had
deemed it proper to answer the rejoinder
it together with the reply would have
been included in the documents. "
Col. Hayne, however left the city ear
ly on Tuesday morning. His ! insolent
letter was immediately . returned to him
by the preiident through the mail.
It is thought here, by those who are
posted, that South. Carolino will not im

affected to tears. The train left precise

Indianapolis, Feb, 11.
Thirty-four guns were fired to announce
the approach cf the President elect and
his party, they were received by Gov.
Morton, who escorted Mr. Lincoln to a
carriage drawn by -1 white horses, the
procession and escort, consisting cf both
branches of the Legislaturepublic offi
cers, municipal authorities, military and
fire companies, citizens and strangers,
surpassed anything of the kind ever wit
nessed here. Mr. Lincoln upon reach
ing the Bates House was conducted to the
balcony and addressed the assembly. He
said, he came there to thank them for the
support given by Indiana to the true and
just cause ; and said that, coercion and.
invasion were the same ; let us not then
misunderstand their meaning or the mean
ing of those who use them ; let U3 get
from men who deprecate both what they
would represent by them ; what ia the
meaning of those words, he asked, would
marching an army into S. C. with' hostile
intents be invasion? I think it would, and
it would be coercion if South Carolinians
were forced to submit; but if the U. S.
should merely hold and retake its own
forts and collect duties, or withhold the
mails where they were palpably violated
would any or all these ihmgs ce invasion
or coercion? Do Union-lovers, resolved
to resist coercion, understand that such
things as these on the part of the U S
would be coercion or invasion ? If they do
their idea of preservation 13 exceedingly
thin and airy, and their view of the
Union as a faaily relation would seem to
be that it i3 no regular marriage but a
sort of free-love arrangement to be main
tained by personal attractions. In what
consists the special sacrednessof a State,
I speak of the position assigned to a State
in the Union by the Constitution; if a
State and a county possess equal in terri
tory and inhabitants, in what, as a matter
of principal, is the State better than the
county ? would an exchange of names be
an an exchange cf rights upon principal?
by what rightful principle may a State,
being no more than one-fifth part of the
nation in size of 'population, break up the
nation and then coerce the larger division
of itself ? what mysterious right to play
tyrant is conferred on a-district of coun
try with its people by merely calling it a
State. He said in conclusion, that he
was not asserting anything but" asking
questions for them to consider and decide
in their own minds what was right and
what was wrong.
New Orleans, Feb. 12

House. The House offered an amend-
ment to the Senate bill for a temporary
government for the territory of Colorado,
it proposes to allow the people to assem
ble and form themselves an organic law
and territorial government to consist of
a Legislative, Judicial and Executive de
partments, etc.
Mr. Thomas objected to its consider
ation. John Cochrane offered a Res
olution directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to inform the House whether
any and what information has been re
ceived by his department and relative p
the recent seizure of New York vessels
at the port of Savannah and If sized by
by whom and what authority. Mr Branch
would not object to the resolution of the
gentlemen would amend so as to call for
information officially received.
Mr. Cochrane replied certainly.
Mr. Pryor suggested the inquiry also
as to any property belonging to Georgia,
being arrested seized by the Slate or city
authorities in New York.
Mr. Cochrane had no objection if such
information was in the pessession of the
Treasury Department.
The resolution was thus amended.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, objected to
its consideration. Mr. Cochrane gave
notice that he would again offer it on
Monday. Mr. Hindman said there was
criminality in one of the elective depart
ment of government, and asked leave to
offer a resolution for the appointment of
a select committee of 3 with instructions
to inquire whether any officer or offic-rs
af an executive department have I - ..
guilty of improper interference with an j
election pending in any State, and th it
committee have power to send for per-j

- Mr. Corwin moved to postpone tlte re
pert of the committee of 33. lie was
fully impressed with the idea that the
country demanded action, but he thought
the Peace commissioners might decide on
something, so a3 to enable the House to
come to a better conclusion.
Mr. Craig of N C, had no hopes from.
the peace convention, and opposed a post
ponement. After much debate by Cor
win and others, the report was postponed
till Thursday.

A petition was presented in the Sen
ate from Nevada, asking fcr a Territo
rial government.
A bill was introduced by Mr. Hals to
build thirty war vessels. Passed by 30 to
IS, in com c: vyhole. Mason -opposed
the till, as the intention was to coerce
seceding states. Fessenden defended
the measure If the time ever comes
when it was necessary to enforce the law
he was io favor of doing it. It was a
measure of peace; nobody could consider
it a hostile measure.
Mason said he would not vote to in
crease the navy at the present time. He
wanted to first ascertain whether Linccln
was in favor "of co-ercing the Cotton
States.
King1 remarked that now treason was
rife in the. country, was a proper tims to

er never to peaceably rip up the govern

now tell gentlemen that treason must. come
to an end. He hoped peacefully: but not
peacefully if the honor of tha country
must ba sacrificed.
