Crittenden romptomlie vs. Popular Sovereignty. , 'A great number of memorials have been presented to Congress and State Legislatures favoring the adoption of the " Crittenden Compromise," as it it called- It is no compromise at all, but a total surrender of every principle for which the Republicans and Douglas Democrats contended, in connexion with the subject of slavery, during the la3t Presidential canvas The Republicans contended that Congress had the power to legislate so a3 to exclude slavery from the territories, or delegate it to the territorial legislature at its option. The Douglas Democrats contended that Congress had not the power to legislate on the subject, but that the people had the sole right to admit or exclude slavery as they chose ; and the Yancey-Breckinridge Democracy contended that the Constitution of itself carried slavery into the territories, and fixed it there beyond the control of Congress or the people. The Crittenden Compromise is nothing more nor less than the Breckinridge platform. The Yanceyites in the Charleston and Balti more Conventions contended for the doctrice that the Constitution, as it is, recognizes and protects slavery in the territories. They know that this doctrine can be sustained judicially so long only as a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States are capable, from imbecility or corrupt motives, of lending themselves to tbe purposes of a set of party leaders who are traitors at heart, and who belong to that class of accursed miscreants who would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. Hence, they want to ingraft upon the Constitution, by way of amendment, theCrittenden Compromise and thus fasten slavery upon all territory now possessed and here, after to be acquired south of 3G 30' in spite of the people inhabiting such territory. And now, Douglas Democrats are just as busy as the Yancyites in circulating, and procuring signatures to, memorials favoring this Crittenden Compromise. Among them we Cud brigadier generals, who adhered to the doctrine of popular sovereignty in the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions even after it was demonstrated, that if they continued to do so, it would result in the destruction of the Dem ocratic party. They knew that if they yieldeil, their power in the North was at an end, and hoped that by standing firm to the end", iu favor of popular sovereignty, they might yet sustain themselves in the North notwithstanding the loss of five or six Southern States. It was a matter of life and death. If they abandoned popular sovereignly death was certain ; and they could only die by maintaining it to the end. Democracy is now dead, and the leaders even Douglas men who were members of the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions, and are now brigadier generals, colonel3 &c. abandon popular sovereignty and favor the Yancey platform, as expressed in the Crittenden Compromise, and exert themselves to delude republicans, union men, and popular sovereignty democrats, into the abandonment of their principles. They have no desire that any compromise shall be made. They are determined to force the republicans to abandon their principles and humbly sue far peece and to this end they are willing to bring the republic to the verge of utter and eternal ruin if necessary. NThe object is not the welfare of the country but to place the Republican party apparent ly inj.be wrong, in the hope that thereby democracy will be enabled again to triumph in 1664;If the adoption or rejection of the Crittenden Compromise depended upon- the votes of the mass of the Douglas Demo' crats alone, they would unhesitatingly re. ject it, and it is hoped that they will, ere long, with as little hesitation, discard and consign to deserved infamy, as enemies of their country, the. unprincipled political gamblers who would induce them to assume an attitude which would justly subject them to the imputation of yielding, like dastardly cravens, to tbe insolent and unreasonable demands of the imperious slave-holders Of the South -, who, having been accustomed from infancy to secure implicit obedience from negroes by force, seem to have persuaded themselves that by the same meatu the freemen of the north can be made to ignore their honor and their manhood and lick tbe hand that smites them. If the Douglas Democrats and Republicans do not in this crisis firmly, and regardless of on" sequences, resist every attempt to fasten slavery upon the territories by constitutional provisions placing it beyond the control of Congress or the people, they are cravens and fit only for slaves. It was well understood at Indianapolis that no collision had occurred between Messrs. Heffren and Moody the two belligerent representatives up to 4 o'clock Saturday evening. We feel authorized to say that there is not likely to bo any. The idea that two men, who seriously contemplated fighting, should go to Cincinnati, put up respectivi ly at the Burnet and Spencer houses taking the precaution to whisper to the clerks not to say anything of their whereabouts as they did'nt desire to be interfered with by the police, (oh, no!) is ridiculous. It is said the Cincinnati Police manifested the most provoking indifference, and acted as though they would rather have the figbt couie off than not. Seriously, it ia to be hoped that the House will assert its dignity by expelling both these members, instauter. P. S. Since writing the above a telegraphic dispatch announces the result of the affair. Tbe parties met, but did'ut flight because there was no surgeon to bind up the wounds. It i3 just about as we ex. pec ted.

Navigation of the MUitttippt, j Sd datapoken has been the indignation of j the pSSple of the Korth-westetn States at j

======= uuuctcooarjr o.nu outrageous conduct 01 Gov. PettuB, of Mississippi, in interfering with boats going down the Mississippi River that even the most rabid fire-eating papers feel called npon to apologize, and explain away the affair. The New Orleans Crescent which has made itself particularly conspicuous in the rebellion which has caused Louisiana to secede from and rob the Union thinks the people of the Northwest are unnecessarily excited, as the Southerners do not design " to interfere with the navigation of the river for any legitimate purpose of trade atid commerce." It says the action of the Governor of Mississippi has been misapprehended. A report being in circulation that the United States intended Bending troops down the river to retake the arsenal at Baton Rouge, the Governor of Mississippi, in the generosity of his soul, thought he would stop every boat going down the river, by firing cannon across their bows, or, into them, accordingly a3 they rounded to or not". This surveillance was kept up, we are informed, for only a day or two, and is not to be renewed, we presume, until another rumor is put in circulation by some irresponsible party that Uncle Sam is going to send something else down the river contrary to the wishes of the gentlemen who have assumed the ownership of that stream. Should another rumor start we are likely to hear of more batteries. The Crescent says no steamboats are to be interfered with which are running for legitimate purposes of trade and commerce. The fact as to whether their commerce, is legitimate, we presume, is to be ascertained by having the steamers round to, under a threat of being fi red into, and compelled to pay wharfage at ports where they did not design touching. But while the Crescent is so gallantly defending the Governor of Mississippi, in re" turn for that gentleman's services in anticipating and preventing any attack upon the arsenal at Baton Rouge by United States troops, would it not be well to give us at least a column on the action ot its own State in stopping goods destined for Louisville and Cincinnati. Is that an obstruction to the free use of the Mississippi ? Doe3 collecting toll at New Orleans upon all the goods destined for the border Slave States and the North-west interfere with the navi gation of the river, or are they cot legitimate trade and commerce? If the great North-west tamely submits to this levying of tribute money upon her imports, she deserves, as she will receive, the scorn of the civilized world. The United States took up arras and compelled the Algerines of the Meditteranean to abandon their infamous business of taxing American vessels. She wa3 one of the first Powers to resist the pretences of Denmark in regard to the Sound Dues, and we are confidentUbe people are not now prepared to tamely submit to the preposterous claims of one, two, or a dozen self-constituted cotton confederacies. No, gentlemen', you may pass as many secession ordinances on paper as you please, but when you commence taxing the people ot the North-west to support your governments,you will be likely to bear a rumbling that will be prophetic ot a com ing avalanche. ———<>——— FIRE.—About half past 11 o'clock on Sunday night a fire was discovered in the cellar of the St. Charles Saloon, the alarm given, and the Fire Department brought out in short order. The steamer was quickly put in operation, and the fire soon extinguished. We did not learn the amount of damage done. ———<>——— fia'The following are from the Louis ville Journal : It appears that tbe amount of public money in the vaults at New Orleans, which has been seized and appropriated by tbe revolutionists, amounts to $600,000, instead of the sum originally reported. The best revenue cutter in the service was also taken by the treachery of the captain, who basely betrayed bis trust into the hands of the conspirators. South Carolina has been hesitating as to the kind of missile she should chiefly depend on for the reduction of Fort Sumter. We understand she has settled down upon the bomb. Cincinnati is only a second-rate city, yet it paid into the county treasury the other day an amount of taxes equal to the whole yearly revenue of South Carolina. But how would Cincinnati feel if she were called on to raise what South Carolina is compelled to raise to meet her accruing expenses ? The Northern fanatics and the Southern Disunionists are laboring alike for the abolition of slavery. But the Northern abolitionists are pitifully impotent in comparison with tbe Southern oues. $3 A letter from Washington stales that soou after the electoral vote is counted in the presence of tbe two nouses of Congress, on the second Wednesday in February, Mr. Lincoln will acquaint the public with his views on the pending crisis. Heretofore he has not felt that it was proper for him in advance of the official declaration of his election, to take a prominent part in the direction of political affairs. jV. II. Advertiser. We presume that will be about the 4th day of March following. We have long understood that Mr. Lincoln contemplated relieving the anxiety of the country as to his policy about that time. ———<>——— ——>A prisoner in the New Albany jail, named George Crumbo, was shot by the Turnkey on Friday morning and seriously wounded. The prisoner made an assault on the Turnkey, striking him a severe blow above the eye, and nearly knocking him over, when he drew his pistol, fired, and brought the prisoner to the floor. It is supposed that the wound will not prove fatal. ———<>——— 8a"A petition calling on Calvin Richardson, the Representative in the Legislature from Mead connty, Ky., to resign his seat, has been signed by over three hundred voters. Tbe cause of dissatisfaction, is tbe alleged Disunion tendencies of Mr. Richardson.

tives Cincikkati, Sunday Night, Feb. 10. The duel between tbe Indiana legislators, is postponed till to-morrow, when they will take vengeance on each other. To-morrow, being St. Valentine's day, of course our young people will busy themselves to-day preparing their usual postofuce missives of affection nnd sport. ' Lincoln's First Levee. The first levee given by the President elect took place on Wednesday evening, at his own residence in Springfield. A writer in the Missouri Democrat thus describes Mrs. Lincoln: She was dressed plainly but richly. She wore a beautiful, full trail, white moire antique silk, with a small French lace collar. Her neck was ornamented witha string of pparls. Her head dress was a simple and delicate vine, arranged with much taste. She displayed but little jewelry, and this was appropriately adjusted. She is a lady of fine figure and accomplished address, and is well calculated to grace and to do honors at the White House. fi" The people of Marshall county, Virginia, are decidedly for the Union. At the election on Monday last, the . anti-secession candidate received 1636 vote3 to 380 for Gallagher, a kind of a Crittenden Compimise Union candidate. For referring the action of the Convention to the people there were 1900 votes cast; against reference 86. Marshall is in the Pan Handle.' Thanks. Hons. Lazarus W. Powell of Kentucky, and Wm. E. Niblack of this Congressional District, will accept our thanks for copies of their speeches on the State of the Union Wm. Gwyn has also laid us under obli gations for a New Orleans paper, and the never failing Jame3 Ferry, of Adam's Ex press, for Cincinnati and Louisville papers.
