As the aggressive designs of Black Republi misni become more and more apparent, b}' tin itgivings of the followers und clioscn mouth eces of Lincoln, the eyes ol the people o e border States are gradually being'opened id the men who a short while since, cjarnoret udly for "Union," "Union," arc now chang g their notes to calls for separate State ac >n. They also see that there is not as mucl ingcr in "precipitation" into a Soulhcrr jnfederacy.in which they will be able l< ifcml themselves, and diclate their own tenm as there is of "precipitation" into a lilac! epublicun Confederacy, from which there wil no other alternative hut that of abject tub itsinn to every aggression, or a bloody, inter innblo struggle, such as mankind has not ye itnesscd. Gov. Hicks, it seems, has wielded all tin >wars of his offico in endeavoring to sileuci c voice of Maryland in this crisis; $ut tin loplc of that gallant State are holding, publii eetings, and denouncing his nfmnse in unniis kable language. A large and very enthusiastic meeting wn: Id in Baltimore, last Friday night Dr. A. C. Robinson presided, and deliverec i eloquent and spirited address 011 taking tin hair. lie.said the people of Maryland shouk icak out Silence perforins no duty. Tin orth and the South should hear the voice 0 aryland. and recognize that it comes from th< >uth of Mason and Dixon's line. The meeting was also addressed by S. Tcakh 'allis, W. H. Norris, Ro. M. McLane, Ex-Gov awe, J. M. Kilgour and others. All denouncuc overnor Hicks, in the strongest terms. Res utions were offered and adopted in favor 0 c Crittendon compromise ; against the course Governor Hicks; against the designs of the lack Republicans; against coercion, and ir vor of local organizations of the people wht e opposed to coercing the seceding Stales. Elected by fraud, und ruling like a despot, id refusing Maryland a chance be heard, Mr. awe said: "If Gov. Hicks dares to refuse this privilege nger, and by so doing shall endanger tlu ,fety of the State, I lift within the Stale tin inner of revolt against him !

Many questions have been addressed to us Lely with regard to the probable event of the iction in Princess Anne county. "Is exjvernor Wise a candidate for the Convention ? as he opposition ? Is he sure of eleciiou ?". e questions which have reached us in a muljlicity of forms. In these busy times, we have little or no ne for private correspondence, and take the lerty to furnish such answers as we can rough the columns of the "Enquirer." Shortly after the passage of the act of Asinbly calling a Convention, Gov. Wise was vited to be a candidate by some 80 citizens Princess Anne, without distinction of party, e consented to run, if nominated by a full id fair popular meeting. A large popular oeting was held at the Court House, without stinction of party, after due advertisement; id Gov. Wise was nominated almost unaniously. Indeed, we are told that one memir of the meeting, and but one, dissented.. dv. Wise addressed the meeting, and referd them to his letter (published in the "Enlirer of the 7th ultimo) as a summary expres- 3n of his views and sentiments. Since then, ! has remained at home, taking no steps to cure an election. Indeed, the serious illness a member of his family has altogether pre> inted him from quitting his plantation, and en obliged hitn to decline attendance at any the precinct meetings. Gov. Wise has very active and energetic op isition, in the person of .Mr. Edgar Burroughs, retired preacher of the Methodist persuasion, rmerly a Whig, later an ardent member ol e Know Nothing order; a native, we believe, the county, and with a large and influential tnily connection there. Mr. Burroughs and s friends have been very active, strong cl' rts have been made, on party grounds, to give ra the consolidated support of the Whigs and now Nothings, who command a majority in c county; and every effort has been made to jrlc on the fears of the people, by reprcsentions busily circulated to theefFect that Gov. isc is bent on hurrying an armed collision any event. Ijow the election will probably be decided, 2 have no reliable means of ascertaining, it wc are assured by all of our informants, at in any event Gov. Wise can muster enough od and true men in the county, armed and udy to meet an invading enemy, or to starve off preaching invasion. This he and his friends e prepared for, and will do, whatever the tiling Convention may do, or leave undone, a word, whatever may be the result of the iction.

You ask: "Had the jurisdiction of the crime lomiuittcd by Brawn and others been snrrenlered to the FeJeral Government, and judguent thereon delayed until the 4th of March, iext, would yoo (1) have exercised the parloning powery" I answer: 1 have carefully eviewed the testimony iu said case, and in my ipinion Brown committed no offence against lie Federal Government meriting such severe lunishmcrit as he received. The most he coxnnitted against the Federal Government was a ;ros.< misdemeanor. Had I been the Goemir of your Stale I might have pursued he tourse he did. Vet even then there were trotg mitigating circumstances. Brown was, io doubt, a mnnuinnniac on the subject of negro lavcry; and as such, close confinement would lave been more in accordance with the dictates of justice. To your second, I reply in the negative, for his reason: said decision is hostile to the adancement of Republican principles, and llierc>re attended with danger in a Government ke ours.

LINCOL.Y 'lew'" of »i> Old Line Ilciiry Clay Wlilj;. the Editor.< oj the Enyvirer : ai.fik.maiti,k County, Jari. 80, 1801. Gentlemen : Who would have thought it?. 'ell the people of "old Albemarle," and they rill not believe it! I, who have been a Whig f the old Clay school ever since 1 heard the nine of "Whig," and some Lime ago thought would he nothing else, hut though I am a lain farmer, and have to toil hard for my fainly to secure to them the necessaries of life, yet am not insensible to the fact that there is but nejmrty Sorth."the enemies of the South" -and there ought to lie hut one party South ; men devoted to her honor and interests." I, was going to sat*, have renounced all party iclings, and covet no nobler appellation than sat of a "Southern man," ever ready to take up rins, if needs be, in defence of our institutions, ell the "Whig" man lie is behind the times. le is a man who, I believe, is honest in his pinions, but they seem mightily unsuitetl for Southern paper, and. 1 think, likely to do inch harm in the State. When the "IVhi'j" lianges its lore the Whigs of this glorious old aunty wdl relish reading it a deal sight more ism they do now, for it is like "kissing a pict- f looking lady whose breath is foul." Tell im when lie finishes his quarrel over "spill iilk," (for thus I regard it,) and lakes a stand 1 favor of "Southern rights, careless of conse- ; nonces,"then we will admit him within "the eil of our affections once more."

A Reitblicax Compiiomimk..This is the Tribune's" remedy : "The true coiuprouii.se fur the crisis is to uy all the negroes of the border States and lius convert them into free States. Who would [ fuse to be taxed for such a purpose? Xobody ho is not a lool or a traitor." In other words, it proposes that the Southrn owner shall sell his negro, worth $1,500, ir £200, the purchase money to be paid out of lie United States Treasury, into which the lOuthcrti States have contributed more than wo thirds of the receipts.

Very extravagant estimates liavo been made, in some quarters, of the cost of the secession movementnt the South, and it has been repeatedly predicted that the people will so<m revolt when they are once compelled to boar the burdens thus imposed. And yet, at this moment, the dominant party are about laying upon the shoulders of their fellow-citizens a heavier weight of taxation than was ever before levied in the history of the country. The new tariff bill which has passed the House of Representatives, and in a slightly modified form is soon to pass the Senate, (unless the country is roused from its apathy,) is something more than a mass of crude nonsense. Inconsistent, obscure, complicated and absurd as its main provisions undoubtedly are, it is not simply and unmeaningly ridiculous ; it is a measure designed to impose an enormous tax upon the people who shall remain under the control of the General Government. The truo extent of the increase is hidden under a variety of complicated forms; but the substance remains, as the people of the Northern and Western Slates will learn to their sorrow, when it shall once be hung upon their necks. The present rates of duty range from 1 to 30 per cent.; the new rates, including the Specific charges, will range from 5 to 150 per cent., a large number of articles, if imported at all, being included in schedules that will be charged from 3(J to 95 per cent. Thus, a piece of printed calico, 24 inches wide, costing abroad 4s9d sterling per piece of 28 yards, would pay, imuer the present tariff, 2+ per cent.; under the proposed tariff, 47 per rent.,.thu= nearly duubling the tax. The present design is to have the new tariff take effect on and after the first of April next. We have not dwelt upon the gross injustice of that portion of this proposed measure which adopts the policy of specific duties in place of the well settled advalorein system, because that has been fully discussed in our former articles. Nor need we here comment upon the impropriety of making such a wholesale change in tlm whole revenue policy of the country, abolishing the warehousing system at a blow, to take effect July 1st, throwing every department of trade and commerce into confusion, at a time when there are troubles enough from other sources. We have designed rather to speak of the measure as a wily scheme for doubling the public taxes; a plan which, if adopted, will not only throw vastly increased burdens upon the people, chiefly upon the middle and lower classes, but tend to prostrate the commercial interests and dry up the very fountains of our national prosperity. We are afraid that these considerations have but little weight with those who control legislation at Washington, and we see no way of escaping the im- pending calamity..[_Vew York Journal of Comm tree. i » - [Special Despatch to the Richmond Enquirer.] Important from Washington t'ity.

The Hull, H. S. Fuutc. The Hon. II. S. Foote made a speech in Nashville one night last week, in reply to the Hon. John Bell. Mr. Foote argued that Lincoln and Seward were intensely radical and dangerous anti-slavery men. and in favor of forcing the political and social equality of the negroes with the whites. He declared that the border slave States must have "satisfactory guarantees" be/ore the 4th of March, or "they must, under the stars and stripes, join their seceding sisters, seize the old Union and the Constitution, with amendments and organize their own Government, separately and independent of the Northern Slates, inviting to join them each of the great Central and Western States as may choose to do so." lie was not a believer in the abstract right of secession. hut thought it better to exercise the right of revolution through the intervention^and uia- chinerv of State Government. my scntenient yesterday, that tin; present indications show tliat the Republicans intend to nullify the effect of the Union Convention, which is to he held in Washington on the 4th of February. Nothing tangible can be made of Seward's speech yesterday, looking towards a settlement of existing difliculties. lie said he would urge his people to speak, vote, raise money and Gght for "the Union.".lie looks anxiously forward to the "ides of March," when Lincoln will be President and Seward Secretary of State. As confirmation of my views, it appears that the Ohio Legislature has instructed her commissioners to endeavor to get the Convention adjourned until the fourth of April. Then, perhaps, they might desire an adjournment iihC ific. It will be seen that the New York Legislature is about to introduce strung conservative resolutions. Who knows whether they will pass, and if they do what honest Southerner, knowing the controlling Component of that Legislature, will trust them to any important ax lent? Anything, any political dodge, to r! lave oil' all action looking to the rights of the southern and the border States, till Lincoln grasps the sword, is their policy. New York also instructs her commissioners not to adopt any policy in the Washington Convention unless by the consent of a majority if the Northern States. Does this look like a strong desire to accomplish anything by the Convention for securing right arid justice to Lite South ? Does not it look rather towards the wielding of the strong arm of Northern tyranny over our soil? Let your readers udge. Please get Gov. Wise to guarantee that he will not attack the Capitol.

( Oth. Kesolved, That the end of the Republican doctrine , Is the ultimate, and o'.the Abolition the Immediate dcatruc- j lion of slavery everywhere in the American Union. 7th. Kesolved. That such mi end eaunot lie effected with- j out the sacrifice of our property, the asasainatiun of our women and children, uaJ Ihe death of many of the noblest sons of the South. Sill. Kssolred, That to such a result uo Southern man j (with the soul of a man) will submit whilst the blood of a freeman warms his veins. , 'Jth. Resolved, That submission to such an outrage would tie a sacrifice of life, fortune and sacred honor. .Manly re- sislnnce (let fate he what It may) would at least preserve the latter. loth. Resolved, That this Union is thew.irlt of our fathers .made for us as well as those who would oppress us.and that our preference Is, to have our right* or death in it.. Nevertheless,We were first Virginians, and our prayer for Ihe ancient Commonwealth is, that she may he always right. our resolve, to go with her right or wrong, "live or die, siir- vlve or perish." , 11 th. Itesolved, That we believe that the God of Nature hath placed within our hands peaceable means, by the tire: and prudent use of which our grievances maybe speedily and effectually redressed; that by the asseilion of our commercial Independence we will coerce the observance of our national rights. 12th. Resolved, That to this end we recommend the imme- ( iliate call of a State Convention, and the passage of taws , prohibiting our citizens Irom selling to. or purchasing from, , the people of ihe Northern States under heavy penalties. 18th. Kesolved, That we believe the withholding our -la pics .iml the refusal to purchase their manufactured goods wi I cause their bankruptcy nod ruin; that it Is In the power of the South to proclaim Imr edict to the North of "Perish commerce, perKh trade, down with the hangs." I Ith. lUsolved, Tliat for the purposes of defence in the event of invasion, or of our slaves being excited to rebel, each Stale in the south ought at once to expend a sum suf- Ifclunl to swell its recent appropriations to one million of dollars.or whatever eum may he found necessary In or ganizing, arming and equipping troops. I fall. Resolved, Ahratu Lincoln Is President elect of the United Slater. Deferontial respect Is due to him on account if lib exalted office. The election of a Chief Magistrate, nudur the forms prescribed by law, is no ground for resistance by any portion of the American Confederacy. Wlh. Resolved, I'.ut he Is the representative nf it party threatening the ultimate abolition of slavery everywhere in the American Union, and his election is the evidence of increasing strength, which may enable It to accomplish this fell purpose. It is not Lincoln wo resist, but the dreadful purposes of his party. 17th. Resolved, l)ut we cannot envy the man holding the most exalted office oa earth who cannot be true to Lis party and to Ids principles without being false to the Constitution he ie sworn to support, or true to the Constitution without being a traitor to the party that elevated him to power. lsth. Resolved, That whilst the passage of the liberty hills in the North are Insulin, and the refifal to ex-eu'.the Fugitive blare Law is a grievance, stii! they arc small in Importance in comparison with the avowed object of lbRepublican party to hem up slavery within the limits of the slave States and then cause Its own destruction, and that a promise en the part *f the President elect to execute ths Fugitive slave Law and a recommendation of th» so. peal nf the Northern liberty hills will not he a sufficient re- dress of our grievances. 1 I'Jth. Resolved, That the time Las arrived when the South should demand that the agitation of the siibj-o of slavery by the Northern states should cense and cease forever, and that she oughtnot to he satisfied or come to any tvrtn-i with the North until It consents to an explanatory amendment of the Federal Constitution recognising the principles contained In the llrst four resolutions of this scries, and that when any .-state hereafter enacts laws in vluiatloii of such amendment such State shall be deemed thenceforth out of the Union. On motion of P. K. McCoiu.n, Esq., Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of thi- meeting he transmitted to our Senator and Delegate, our Representative in Congress and the Governor of the Commonwealth. Un motion of Henry M. Bickley, Esq., Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he forwarded to one of the papers printed In Kanawha and that the other be respectfully requested to copy, and, also, that they be ins-rted In one of the Richmond papers, and that IIIC »* ~'V « M-. >W4»-.I>VV^ ,v On motion of Col.

Maryland Movliiir.As the aggressive designs of Black Republimisni become more and more apparent, b}' tinitgivings of the followers und clioscn moutheces of Lincoln, the eyes ol the people oe border States are gradually being'openedid the men who a short while since, cjarnoretudly for "Union," "Union," arc now changg their notes to calls for separate State ac>n. They also see that there is not as muclingcr in "precipitation" into a Soulhcrrjnfederacy.in which they will be able l<ifcml themselves, and diclate their own tenmas there is of "precipitation" into a lilac!epublicun Confederacy, from which there wilno other alternative hut that of abject tub

itsinn to every aggression, or a bloody, interinnblo struggle, such as mankind has not yeitnesscd.Gov. Hicks, it seems, has wielded all tin>wars of his offico in endeavoring to sileucic voice of Maryland in this crisis; $ut tinloplc of that gallant State are holding, publiieetings, and denouncing his nfmnse in unniiskable language.A large and very enthusiastic meeting wn:Id in Baltimore, last Friday nightDr. A. C. Robinson presided, and deliverec

i eloquent and spirited address 011 taking tinhair. lie.said the people of Maryland shoukicak out Silence perforins no duty. Tinorth and the South should hear the voice 0

aryland. and recognize that it comes from th<>uth of Mason and Dixon's line.The meeting was also addressed by S. Tcakh'allis, W. H. Norris, Ro. M. McLane, Ex-Govawe, J. M. Kilgour and others. All denouncucovernor Hicks, in the strongest terms. Resutions were offered and adopted in favor 0

c Crittendon compromise ; against the course

Governor Hicks; against the designs of thelack Republicans; against coercion, and irvor of local organizations of the people whte opposed to coercing the seceding Stales.Elected by fraud, und ruling like a despot,id refusing Maryland a chance be heard, Mr.awe said:"If Gov. Hicks dares to refuse this privilegenger, and by so doing shall endanger tlu,fety of the State, I lift within the Stale tininner of revolt against him ! [Loud cheer.-we'llfollow vou !] The Black Republican?.... , r:_. r.,. I."1.1

There will be no secret conspiracy, bini open proclamation to all the world."If it shall become manifest that after Virgia has taken action, we cannot act for ourselvesif it shall hereafter become manifest that wce to be sold, we'll gibbet the seller! /" [I'ocifous cheers.Mr. Kilgour (who has been a prominenthigj said Gov. Hicks and Henry. Winter Dashad sold Maryland to the IJlack Republicsof the North, and urged his hearers tocak oQ'all party ties, consult the honor andterest of the State, and stand upon the saniu

atform with himself.The meeting resolved to hold elections forlegates to represent Baltimore in a Stateinvention to meet on the ISth inst.Gov. Hicks has thus driven his people to relution,by his most extraordinary and dictarialcourse.

Tlio Statu ofA flair* in Princiimt Anne.

Many questions have been addressed to us

Lely with regard to the probable event of theiction in Princess Anne county. "Is exjvernorWise a candidate for the Convention ?

as he opposition ? Is he sure of eleciiou ?".e questions which have reached us in a muljlicityof forms.In these busy times, we have little or no

ne for private correspondence, and take thelerty to furnish such answers as we can

rough the columns of the "Enquirer."Shortly after the passage of the act of Asinbly

calling a Convention, Gov. Wise was

vited to be a candidate by some 80 citizensPrincess Anne, without distinction of party,e consented to run, if nominated by a fullid fair popular meeting. A large popularoeting was held at the Court House, withoutstinction of party, after due advertisement;id Gov. Wise was nominated almost unaniously.Indeed, we are told that one memirof the meeting, and but one, dissented..dv. Wise addressed the meeting, and referdthem to his letter (published in the "Enlirer

of the 7th ultimo) as a summary expres-3n of his views and sentiments. Since then,! has remained at home, taking no steps to

cure an election. Indeed, the serious illnessa member of his family has altogether pre>

inted him from quitting his plantation, and

en obliged hitn to decline attendance at anythe precinct meetings.Gov. Wise has very active and energetic opisition, in the person of .Mr. Edgar Burroughs,retired preacher of the Methodist persuasion,rmerly a Whig, later an ardent member ol

e Know Nothing order; a native, we believe,the county, and with a large and influential

tnily connection there. Mr. Burroughs ands friends have been very active, strong cl'

rts have been made, on party grounds, to givera the consolidated support of the Whigs and

now Nothings, who command a majority in

c county; and every effort has been made to

jrlc on the fears of the people, by reprcsentionsbusily circulated to theefFect that Gov.isc is bent on hurrying an armed collision

any event.

Ijow the election will probably be decided,2 have no reliable means of ascertaining,it wc are assured by all of our informants,at in any event Gov. Wise can muster enoughod and true men in the county, armed and

udy to meet an invading enemy, or to starve off

preaching invasion. This he and his friendse prepared for, and will do, whatever thetiling Convention may do, or leave undone,a word, whatever may be the result of theiction. Princess Anne will not and cannot

!l into the hands cither ol Black Republicanoops, or of their allies, the subrnissionist parol'Virginia.

No lUore Arm* for Vlrgiuiu.Capt Lewis Parrish, of the steamship Yorkwn,

plying between Richmond, Norfolk and

jw York, was infortoed, on his recent trip to

jw York city, that he must take on board his

ssel no more arms for Virginia, anil in the

ent he did, they would he seized, ft would

well to bear in mind (as the Norfolk "Day)ok" remarks) that the police of New

otk are State officers, appointed by the State,

id not by the city; therefore this move

ainst Virginia before she secedes is by the

ate of New York. Can Virginia hope for

stice in a Union with parties who will thus

olate all the legal and social rights of the

Id Dominion ? Never ! and to-day she will

decide at the polls!Locisa Tkoop..Ail persons desirous of uni

TUESDAY MaRNING.Assault on Itellzioui House*.

The hostility of Black Republicans againstthe Sou|h knows no bounds and no restraint.The lca:?t suspicion of any sympathy with the

: Southern people is sufficient to arouse the ani'mosities of these traitors, and no right, how-ever guaranteed, is respected. The Republi-cans of Massachusetts withheld onus from the

2 adopted citizens of that State because of theirdefence of a Southern man seeking his properfty. Bui wc have just learned that an outrage

, more infamous than this is now iu contenipla1Lion against the Catholic College and Conventof Georgetown, because of alleged sympathy

- wiyh the South. MK Buchanan keeps his regi»ntents in Washington, buL will n"t defend thei threatened College and Convent of Georgeitown.

Since our article, in another column, was'

put in type, we have received tho following jfrom a gentleman who occupied a responsibleand prominent position among the Douglasites

1 in this city during the last Presidential cam-

paign: ;Xcilhur lb« PrcHidcut of the late Douglas

5 Association, or Vice President, Chairman of 1

) the State Central Committee, or any member: of that Committee, so far as we know, recognize '

the present existence of the Douglas party, or

of cither of the other parties known here inthe late Presidential election. They decidedly

t disapprove and deprecate the movements in thename of "the Douglas party."

Maryland Already Subjugated.The Abolition military despotism is pro- t

gressing finely. In Monday's Tribune the iron t

heel is pressed down upon poor Maryland inthe following fashion:

! What is it that has so far kept Maryland out Jof the grip of the rebels ? Is it the hope of

2 concessions and compromises ? Not at all..It is the certainty that in her case, at least, *

j the "enforcement of the laics" would be nof

sham, bill a sudden as well as a stern reality.For the preservation of the Government, that fI" certainty is wortli a hundred thousand comipromises, whether sham ones or not.

It is understood that Abraham Lincoln will ,^hold and act upon the following principles, jwhich are sctni-ofScially announced in a late 1

number of his home organ : £1. No State has the right to secede.(2. It is the duty of the President of the

United States to enforce ihe laws thereof,j 3. The first Republican President will (lis-

icharge that duty fearlessly and faithfully.An Iutcrentln^ Work.

though the work has only been before the pub- "

lie but little over two weeks, yet, we learnthat it is selling quite rapidly, and receivingthe warmest commendations from those who ^have perused it. Charles O'Conor, Esq., of, jNew York, so widely and so favorably known

Senators Soivnrd and .ilaaon In torcntln^ [debate.

In another column of this day's Enquirer, a

our readers will find a pretty full sketch of the TJehuto which took place in the Senate of the ^

United States, on Thursday last, between Sen- 0

ator Seward, of New York, and Senator Mason '|rof Virginia. Referring-to the debate, the New c|York Day Book makes the following well-timed c<

and appropriate comments: l'

We do not remember of a single instance j*before, in all of Mr. Seward's Senatorial career,in which he ever allowed himself to bo drtwn .

into a running debate, lie has always carefullymeasured his words, cautiously constructed his ^sentences, and ensconced himself behind "glit- .'

tering generalities" which meantnothihg. But (jyesterday he found himself uttering u pmriirni jremark, embracing four propositions for thepreservation of the Union First, speak 'or it. j.Second, vote for it. Third, give money for it;and fourth, jight Jor it.We would refer our readers to Senator Ma- 4

son's remarks, and Mr. Seward's stammeringreplies, as tho keen edge of tlie Virginia Setia- ytor's logic went homo to the New York Senator.

torture, for lie saw that, unluckily, lie had emu- ^milled himself.

Mr. Seward's ultimate means for preservingthe Union is force, lie holds the sword over

11

the heads ol the people of fifteen States, andthus announces, in most expressiveaudsignifi- bcant language, the inauguration of the "irrcIpressible conflict." ft is strange that theseRepublicans do not see that this no time to /talk about force. If there were a mob in a

State, that had usurped power, force would be .

in order; tint Ike people of six States have al- 1

ready spoken, and even it secession lie revolnlion,how should wise men, humane men, dealP with stuck a revolution ? *!"

But are the seceding States revolutionists? !'Are they trying to overthrow the Constitution? JOr are they, as Senator Mason remarked, onlyasking the dominant party to declare that they Cl

will administer the government on the basis olthe Constitution? Why do not Mr. Sewardand his friends address themselves to that inquiry?The South charges Messrs. Seward,Lincoln <fc Co. with tho design of getting possessionof this government to overthrow the "

Gcntcmen:.Permit an old lady, who has c

heen a constant reader of your paper for half a P

century past, to say a few words in regard tothe question now disturbing the peace of thecountry. I do not intend to ask any favors ofthe North. I want nothing from their trcasn- *

rv. no advantage of them. I offer them theolive branch and the white (lag. If they nc-

cept these, all will be well. If they rejectthein, 1 must tell them what we have done..When wo have been smitten on one cheek, we

have turned the other. Wc have appealed to 11

law, and have been treated with scorn, and 3

only because we desire them to let us alone, u

and" let us enjoy what belongs to us by the v

law of God and man. The Bible says, "when z

you buy bondmen and bondmaids, do not buythem of your brethren, but buy them of theheathen, and they shall be to you and yourchildren forever." The Constitution says they Iare our property, and shull be protected.. I

Vt'neelixi!, Va., Dec. 2>, iSCO.Hos. A. Lincoln.L'pnr Sir: 1 hope you

will not deem it presumptuous in me, in thusiemandinjr from you a plain reply to thefollowing intti rogatories, arid moreover thaiyou will give uie the permission to give pub-licit)' to your answer, should I desire to do so.

1st. Had the jurisdiction of the crime corn-nitted by John Brown and ala. been surrenderedto the Federal Government, and judgmentdelayed until the 1th of March next,ivould you have exercised the pardoning powsr.

'2d. Do you regard the DredL Scott decisionis binding upon the people of the NorthHoping to heur from you soon, I remain,

Truly yours, «Sce.,J. A. Si'ENCKR.

Si'Kisghkld, January 2, 1801.J. A. Si'EXCKH, Esq..Sir: I had resolved in

ny mind to reply to no letters addressed me

rum any one, concerning the manifold quesioristhat have of late gained a footing in our

listracled country, but as 1 have frequentlytad the same interrogatories propounded to me

iy others, ami as your letter seems to ho dicutedin a spirit oi kindness, seeking informaiononly, I have concluded for the present tovaive tny resolvoand reply, giving you pcrroisionto dispose of my answer as you see fit.You ask: "Had the jurisdiction of the crime

lomiuittcd by Brawn and others been snrrenleredto the FeJeral Government, and judguentthereon delayed until the 4th of March,iext, would yoo (1) have exercised the parloningpowery" I answer: 1 have carefullyeviewed the testimony iu said case, and in myipinion Brown committed no offence againstlie Federal Government meriting such severelunishmcrit as he received. The most he coxnnittedagainst the Federal Government was a

;ros.< misdemeanor. Had I been the Goemirof your Stale I might have pursuedhe tourse he did. Vet even then there were

trotg mitigating circumstances. Brown was,io doubt, a mnnuinnniac on the subject of negrolavcry; and as such, close confinement wouldlave been more in accordance with the dictatesof justice.To your second, I reply in the negative, for

his reason: said decision is hostile to the adancementof Republican principles, and llierc>reattended with danger in a Governmentke ours.

Hoping the above will provo satisfactory,I am, sir, your obd't serv't.

Heavy Taxation.

Very extravagant estimates liavo been made,in some quarters, of the cost of the secessionmovementnt the South, and it has been repeatedlypredicted that the people will so<m revoltwhen they are once compelled to boar the burdensthus imposed. And yet, at this moment,the dominant party are about laying upon theshoulders of their fellow-citizens a heavierweight of taxation than was ever before leviedin the history of the country. The new tariffbill which has passed the House of Representatives,and in a slightly modified form is soonto pass the Senate, (unless the country is rousedfrom its apathy,) is something more than a massof crude nonsense. Inconsistent, obscure, complicatedand absurd as its main provisions undoubtedlyare, it is not simply and unmeaninglyridiculous ; it is a measure designed to imposean enormous tax upon the people who shallremain under the control of the General Government.The truo extent of the increase ishidden under a variety of complicated forms;but the substance remains, as the people of theNorthern and Western Slates will learn to theirsorrow, when it shall once be hung upon theirnecks. The present rates of duty range from1 to 30 per cent.; the new rates, including theSpecific charges, will range from 5 to 150 percent., a large number of articles, if imported atall, being included in schedules that will becharged from 3(J to 95 per cent. Thus, a pieceof printed calico, 24 inches wide, costing abroad4s9d sterling per piece of 28 yards, would pay,imuer the present tariff, 2+ per cent.; underthe proposed tariff, 47 per rent.,.thu= nearlyduubling the tax.The present design is to have the new tariff

take effect on and after the first of April next.We have not dwelt upon the gross injustice ofthat portion of this proposed measure whichadopts the policy of specific duties in place ofthe well settled advalorein system, because thathas been fully discussed in our former articles.Nor need we here comment upon the improprietyof making such a wholesale changein tlm whole revenue policy of the country,abolishing the warehousing system at a blow,to take effect July 1st, throwing every departmentof trade and commerce into confusion, ata time when there are troubles enough fromother sources. We have designed rather to

speak of the measure as a wily scheme fordoubling the public taxes; a plan which, ifadopted, will not only throw vastly increasedburdens upon the people, chiefly upon the middleand lower classes, but tend to prostrate thecommercial interests and dry up the very fountainsof our national prosperity. We are afraidthat these considerations have but little weightwith those who control legislation at Washington,and we see no way of escaping the im-pending calamity..[_Vew York Journal ofCommtree.

The Hull, H. S. Fuutc.

The Hon. II. S. Foote made a speech inNashville one night last week, in reply to theHon. John Bell. Mr. Foote argued that Lincolnand Seward were intensely radical anddangerous anti-slavery men. and in favor offorcing the political and social equality of thenegroes with the whites. He declared thatthe border slave States must have "satisfactoryguarantees" be/ore the 4th of March, or "theymust, under the stars and stripes, join theirseceding sisters, seize the old Union and theConstitution, with amendments and organizetheir own Government, separately and independentof the Northern Slates, inviting to jointhem each of the great Central and WesternStates as may choose to do so." lie was not

a believer in the abstract right of secession.hut thought it better to exercise the right ofrevolution through the intervention^and uia-

chinerv of State Government.

my scntenient yesterday, that tin; present indicationsshow tliat the Republicans intend tonullify the effect of the Union Convention,which is to he held in Washington on the 4thof February.Nothing tangible can be made of Seward's

speech yesterday, looking towards a settlementof existing difliculties. lie said he wouldurge his people to speak, vote, raise money andGght for "the Union.".lie looks anxiously forwardto the "ides of March," when Lincoln willbe President and Seward Secretary of State.As confirmation of my views, it appears

that the Ohio Legislature has instructed hercommissioners to endeavor to get the Conventionadjourned until the fourth of April. Then,perhaps, they might desire an adjournmentiihC ific.

It will be seen that the New York Legislatureis about to introduce strung conservativeresolutions. Who knows whether they willpass, and if they do what honest Southerner,knowing the controlling Component of thatLegislature, will trust them to any importantaxlent? Anything, any political dodge, tor!lave oil' all action looking to the rights of thesouthern and the border States, till Lincolngrasps the sword, is their policy.New York also instructs her commissioners

not to adopt any policy in the WashingtonConvention unless by the consent of a majorityif the Northern States. Does this look like a

strong desire to accomplish anything by theConvention for securing right arid justice toLite South ? Does not it look rather towardsthe wielding of the strong arm of Northerntyranny over our soil? Let your readersudge.Please get Gov. Wise to guarantee that he
