AUCH 27, Another Cverar 1st I roapert. It ia currently .-cportsad that Uj sruor Morton will oon abdicate the executive chair for a mure congenial. Ivcratn e and honorable position under the rVreral Government. Tbe place to which he is not Known positively, hut it ia strongly Med since tbe declination ot Geo. Wiib. that it L the mission to Turkey. This position wonkl suit the taataa of Ooreruor Moitoi to a t. and hi friend say he ha? admirable qualifications for that mission. In ease Governor Morton should retire, Mr. Caavtas, President or the Senate, by virtue of the Constitution, becomes the acting executive of the State. I.vlra sMla ef Cotaffreee. It ia reportr a at Washington that the President lias determined to call an extra tension of Con I he financial aaaWraaaaaenu of the Gov nit and the drlBcnltT which will be cxperiin collecting revenue under the Morrill lariaT bill, probably makes this step on the part of the Administration alasoct imperative Many oft ie States have not, however, yet elected their representatives and will not until August, unless the Legislatures in those States should meet and provide for earlier elections. This fact may delay the calling of the extra session until Septem bar, antes tbe exigencies of the Government will not permit that procrastination Treating w ith the .Kebrl." Mr. StT.aa has received and replied to the communications of the Representatives of the Southern Confederacy. What will the irrepress ible Republicans say to this? Mr. Bi ihanan re i used similar overtures, yet he was denounced by the Republicans aa a traitor for not crushing out the "rebellion" when he had no authority to do so. But a change has come over their philosophy. What was wrong in Mr. Bichanan will be right in Messrs Mwau and Luccoln. Treating with the "rebel?" by a Republican Administration will l-e pronounced by lhase self-same Republicans, as tiie highest evidence of wisdom and statesmanship. Is it possible that the country will be longer deceived by tlie arrant hypocrisy and dishonesty of the Republican leaders? t Sectional Administration. Mr LffOOLN was elected President by a sec I party, upon sectional laauaa. 1 nus lar in j his administration the sectional idea predominates. He has selected a sectional Cabinet and ail hia appointments have been from one section J of tlie c trr. President Davis has not been more excuse n nis appointment, ana toury titan has President Lincoln The Black Rcjuiblicaii President knows no South, and he nly recognizes a North. Yet in his inaugural he promise! to respect and maintain the rights and interests of the- South equally with the Nortli to do equal justice to all sections o:'the country. He has failed to redeem i; a y a .i a. a I nis pieuge; r., eri noutnern xtmim uas oecn just as much cicluUeu in the dtstnhution ot fresidet: ti ll pitron ige, as though they h:id no interest whatever iu the Government. Will this policy restore h irmony to tlie country ? Does it not demons'rate that the Republican party is a sectional pirty, and that its triumph will result in a dissolution of the Union ? This ia the first Administratis! that has made all its appointments to represent the general interests of the country from one se -tion of the Union to the entire exclusion of the other. Pastaatter for tlaia City. Our advices from Washington state that Mr. Coersra will finally receive the appointment of Postmaster for this city, although it may be deferred for a short time. Secretary Smith, we under itami. is determined to carry this point. Mr. Coex was his fast friend throughout his struggle to secur-.' i pi ice u the C 'b r e', and he shows true pluck and honor in standing by those who stood by him. He is right in this. He 1 pledged his influence to Mr. Conxe for that place ami he will manfully redeem his promise. Our "rising young Congressman" ia nowhere in the fight. His recommendations, al.en contested, have no weight whatever. He lacks nerve and back bone, and dei tes too much time to tbe looking glass and pom. Hum pot to exert any influence when opposed by a positive man like Mr. Smith. Bearsgrease and curling-tongs appear to be at a discount with the "hero of the prairie land." Those articles may lie valuable and necessary to create an impression in a drawing-room, but in the rough cmtestsof life they are somewhat of a backset, e-peciallv among men. The politicians of the Cipital. who have piuned their hopes qaml A. Gallati PoaTKL., we believe that is the way be now announces himself, will find that they hive placed their dependence upon a weak (rother, who will be run over rough -shod by the men of character and nerve who represent Indiana in Washington. Think of it. TheRepublican Representative of the Metropolitan district of Indiana, has not nosition tau cd, to th. appointment of Postmaster in his own city.

Commissioners " from the! r, - . w , . , . : Confederate States, now in Washington, have fe I sent their credentials to President Lincoln, and 1 he and his Cabinet are deiiberatinj whether these Commissioners shall be received or not Aeain ! ' President Be Lhasas, so far as is known, while determined to avoid, if possible, any collision with the seceded States, entertained no purpose of surremlering Southern forts which were in the . , , . a . . . actual possession of Federal troops. President Liscols has actually determined upon the surrender of Fort Sumter, and it is believed the surrender of other forts in U.e seceded Sutcs win follow. We do not complain of thus action of President Imanana. We applaud it, rather. We only compare it with tbe action of the former Admin istration to show up, as it deserves to be shown up, the course of the Republican press hitherto on this whole question. We might, were we -posed, tauntingly ask that press, Have tee a GotBut this prom tells us that President Lixcols's surrender of Fort Sumter is a necessity arising out of President Bitiiaa.x's failure to reinforce the fort when he might bav e reinforced it with comparative ease. They call this alleged necessity "a legacy from the imbecile Bichax.an Administration." Undoubtedly the fort might formerly have been reinforced with more ease than it can be now. But had President Bern anas reinforced it. and thus broueht on civil war, as lie would have done by the movement, would not the Republican press have called this "a legacy of the Buch as an Admin iMmti on"? But was it President Bccoaxah'h failure to reinforce that bss created the present alleged ne comity? We say no. That necessity lias arisen out of the failure ot Coajress both houses of which were RepabHcan after thc withdrawal of the member from the secede-1 States to give President Lincolx the men and the ships and the money needful to reinforce and hold 'he foit That is the door which the fault of the failure lies, if there be any such fault the door of the Republican Congress. Mr. Lincoln can not hold thh fort, nor any other Southern fort, because the Republican Congress did not furnish him tbe means with which to bold it. Sins enough lie at Mr. Bi'caasavx'a door t none be cast there which do uot belong there. Jf, however, Congress had given Presidert U50ÖLS the means with which to hohl, occupy sod possess tbe forts m tbe seceded States

" possess" is u-ed in the sense ot' recover we do not believe he would Use those means. It" he had to-day the men and -hip? and money wuh hich to reinforce Fort Sumter, we do not be!icehe would reinforce it. Mr Dot iL.i st ited in the

Senate ou Friday, that If it was the liic of lite administration to hold, occupy and possess the fort inthe seceded State-. an army ot liw hmi dred and fifty thousand men would be necessary, costing tArrr hundred andnfty millions oi' dollar annually. No doubt Mr. IViolas spoke from re liable data. And in this e.stim ite the se - n of tbe border States is uot included, which surely would secede in the event of hostile demonstrations against the already seceded States by the Federal Government. We can well understand that the Republican press has a bitter pill to swallow in upholding President Lincoln's peace policy, after all its clamor for a policy of force. It is hard to back squarely down from any position w hich one has tenaciously and boisterously held.; but how very hard is it in this case where the policy to be accepted and approved is the same which has been denounced as imbecile and traitorous and infamous beyond description. But come up to the work gentlemen open your mouths and swallow the dose. Do this, or in a little while you will be counted as hostile to the Administration. The Sew Tariff. The new tariff law goes into operation on the first of April. It is formed for the benefit of the manufacturers of New England and the iron masters ol Pennsylvania, discriminating against the agricultural interests of the West and South. The change in the revenue system is sweeping and sudden. The New York Journal of i'm merer rem irks that the sudden change would be severely felt by the importers of tint citv, even if the uiffere:i?c between the two systems were less radical ; but as it is, we know not what will be done at its custom house on the first proximo. Many of the provisions of the new act are so complicated ami absurd that neither the merchants nor the revenue officer? can hope to un derstand at once their application, and there must be great occasion for disputes and endless litiga tion. Already the lawyers familiar with custom house business, are estimating their increased revenue ; and the courts will soon be crowded with "cases." Eveu the corrections need to be I corrected. vye art not now attsektnt the new measure 8impIy i(ecue of its injustice, although it is rad :, . , tnis n.rticlllil, :inj altogether one.sije1 m tmmMm ot- t - for revenue, Nor Jo we nce it at this time be.-, use it Tast,T 5ncre.ise tIie flu f the country, ami u vy oppwiive upon commerce and trade; the . , , . ,.ti(, t, U1u t ,ke e u !v --eos to procure some form of relief. But we do insist that after having decide! upon an attempt to rcrive this double he nie 1 monster notwithstanding the repeited condemnation of the Americas people, that the measure should have bee:i pre pared directly with this object, Mai not hidden in uch a e disguise as to bring ridicule upon our national legislation both at home and abroad The Republicans are uow in power; an 1 this tariff is their pet scheme, for which they alone are responsible. If it does not work to their s it isfaction, they can not now charge the failure upon corrupt appraisers, or an incompetent executive. They have the whole field to them-e'.ves, and we wish them well through the task they have undertaken. The country will yet call them to a slurp account for this ill-advised and unjust legislation. The miss of our fellow citizens have no idei what an euorm ius addition this new project will make to their taxes, because its provisions were blindly drawn expressly to prevent an exact com parison. Nor can it be fairly told, even after experiment, because the same values will not be imported as under the eld tariff', m inj of the rates being prohibitory. If the imports were to continue the same, the increaseJ tax would average about 33 ., per cent.; but the shutting out of a large portion of the goods saddled with the higher rates, will re luce this part of the range. S;lks are less advanced than any other prominent article in the list; and this will not tend to render the act more popular. We hazard nothing in the prediction that this act will be greatly modifiel, or else repealed belere the world is many years older. The New York Herald, of la-r F:v! iy. ha? the following in reference to the workings of the Northern and Southern tariff systems: Tiie Montgomery tariff" has been framed with care and skill, ujon the model of that which will expire in the Northern States, on the 1st of" April ' next. 1 he rates ot üuty it imposes upon mer-' chandise are reasonable, and comparatively free A" etgactitthahM faatamt. The Morrill tariff, on the contrary , is a monstrous conglomeration of absurdities, concocted for the benefit of Peun- ; sylvania, the manufacturing districts of New j England, and New Jersey. It can never be en ! forced, but will involve endless litigation, and i eventually be of benefit to no one, excepting lawvers in our federal courts. Its intent was to double the rates of duty hitherto imposed, and i thereby, to increase the re renne, and the patronage of a Republican administration. Its authors may be necessitated to provide means that do not now exist tor carrying out its provisions; but the pecuniary advantages hope) for. they will be in disappointed.

Neither can any system of bonier inspection, shut goods out from the Northern States, that have been once brought into the South, and. thus, the new Confederacy will practically collect duties for the whole Union. It is no wonder that the conservr.i.e mas -es of the people look with indignation upon the course that Mr. Lincoln and his Cibinei arc pa suing. And the time is not tar fTfi. when tue North will hold them to a bitter responsibility tor the shame. ul imlecility and fanaticism with w hich they are betraying the interests of the country. The special Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday, contains the following comments in reference to the difficulties in tlie new taailT: Difficulties eem to arise in unlooked-for ways. The new tariff act, passe 1 by Congress, and which goes into operation on April 1. is full of incongruities, causing tlie Treasury D -partment a vast amount of trouble, aud seriously promising to lower iustead of raising the revenue. Aside from this, the low tariff of the Southern Confederacy will soon invite to Southern ports that Euro em trade which now passes through New York. Boston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. The revenue act of tbe Confederate States is now in force, this Government having icceivel official information to th it efl'- r. Experienced men estimate the amount of revenue under it to hf $20,0011 per day. At this rate it will take but a short time to i u.' two million, of dollars, which is really just so much taken from the D States treasury. Should foreign powers recognize the de farto Government in the Confederate States, they will turn commerce into the low revenue channels, and in anv event, recognition or not, a ist amount of this trade, under the restraints of the j protective tariff of the North, will seek Southern ports.

nr. Hrrrkinridgr on tue inaugural.

TBw following lonptjhl of Ii I nf Mr. BBECLiniDoa in tlie Senate on Mondav.giving m interpretation oi the sentiments cipounaeu by Mr. Lincoln in his inaugural addres.-: ! Mr. Bre'.-kiubridge said, in the present anxious, , s , distressed onditioii ol the Mil;',-;, the Somite should not adjoarti without expressing an opinion on the present st'.te of afrtirs, and giving some advice tending to allay pubii-j apprehension. Opinions seemed divided as to the me ining of tlie inaugural. He was ftee to coiitie-'s, and gratitic 1 to do so, thai its general expressions are for hirmotiv and the prevention of bloodshed; but the policy which the President says he deems it his duty to pursue must result in blooJsheJ, unlesessentially modified. The leading idea of the inaugural, very clearly put forth, is the President doe- not recognize, in any sense, the existence of another Conte.ier.ioy, but that he regards all proceedings and acts in the seceding States either insurrectionary or revolutionary, and that it is his purpose, to the extent of his power, to enforce laws in all the State;, including those which have Withdrawn. The inference was irresistible, to what ever extent force or invasion is necessary to colic -t duties on imports, and to maintain, posses, aud occupy the forts, force be emploiml, by construing it to be his constitutional duty. Tis true, the President has qualified his declaration by r-.iy ing " the course here indicated will be followed unless current events and experience shall show modification or change to be projer, and in every ease and exigency my best discretion will be exercised, according to circumstances actually existing, and with a view to the peaceful solut; I our national troubles and the restoration of fra tenial sympathies and affections." He (Breckinridge) took his qualification to mean he will not undertake to execute the laws, or to hold the forts, and other places in the withdrawing States, excepting where circumstances show his ability to do so, und that he will not un dertake to force tho.-.e functions, because it would be irritating and make the hopes of a peaceful solution more doubtful, then the pottcj would be that which would prevent irritation and bloodshed. The President conceived it his duty to hold, possess, and occupy the forts, and collect the duties ou imports, to be modified according to the ne cesities of the case, which may surround him, otherwise hi policy would be simple and e isy. Looking at Fort Sumter, what were Ute re is ns for the rumored evacuation? Not political, but military; not because in the opinion of the Administration the fort would irritate the public mind and render conciliation and harmony doubtf il. but because the military and naval power does not exist to penetrate to th it point. Unless the purpose of the President w ;w to u-e force as far as was necessary, be would, if his object was purely concilttorv, withdraw the troojis for sliiical and not military reasons, then he thought he was jus tificd in construing the inaugural to mean the President will hold the forts and other places within the Confederate States and collect the duties on imports to the extent id' his power, and If there is any modification it will be bee .use be would be willing to withdraw the troops for the purpose of conciliation and peice in the public mind. The Character ef the C ibaiet was not such as to induce the belief tint force would not be use I. ErCry member, except one. is Hade Mtuod to fivor coercion, if it becomes necessary to reluce the South to subjugation. The very organisation oi the Senate, and opinions cautiou.-ly ex; rawed by Republicans here, show their pur;o.-e is to m lint tin the authority of the Feder il O vern meat over the w t'idrawn States by force if nec-c-Siry. In the forming of standing committees there wassencely a ah lirmui whose known opinion was not in favor of this poMey. The country should not be deceived. What was MM by peace and conciliation? How was it be miintained? He de-ired to know it as sincere'y as he desired the union of ail tbe States. He had see.i n metsure of practical policy which tends to produce the ic-ult. We :.re in constant danger of collision and bloodshed. For tlie sake of the Baltic il and material interests of the conn try. the support of the ere lit and the general prospersty, let us e tablish some leiding princi pie.

Mr. Stithens, , lte 1 1 111 Mill of the Southern Confederacy, had a large reception at Atlanta, Georgia, on the night of the 11th inst , on his return from Montgomery home. In i c-poneO to a congratulatory speech from the Mayor, Mr. Stkphfxs thus alluded to the character of the new Constitution adopted at Montgomery and the men who framed it: We had all been Unionists we were now all Secessionists For him-elf, he had tried to do

He wished he had the strength to go into details and show its great superiority. The grand distinctive difference between the two instruments was, that the Constitution of the Confederate States was 'use I on the acknowledged ine.pu ility of the race-. The new Govern ment had for its corner stone, the gre it truth that the descendants of Ham, by an Almighty de i-e. were "to be hewers of wood and drawers ot' water'' the "servant of servants" throughout all generations; and that his true normal and scriptural condition was one of inferiority, mentally, politic illy and socially of perpetual servitude The old C institution, anil the old political system ere i i-e I oo prooieaty the opnojite vie.. .

Asa new nitioti, wor and with out resources, on a sterile sin., the trainers ot that instrument had been c ireful as to the amount of money to lie drawn from the people, and how it should be drawn.

This had been done by members of C MMOOse, w ho, wanting a fat contract for their friends or themselves would move amendments to the appropriation bills, whereby from twenty to forty millions of dollars of the OOfJoAt money had been nested. For this extravagant expenditure the President has been unjustly held responsib e, for the appropriations generally exceeded the sums asked for, and these were m ule by the Congress. But under the Constitution of th Confederate States, no money not asked for by tbe Chief Executive, or the hea ls of the De p.irtments could be appropriated, excepting by a two thirds vote. Under the old Constitution, the nutter of taxing one portion of l:e people, or one branch of industry, to sustain another portion of the people or another branch of industry, and off carrying on a nvstem of intern :1 improvements by the General" Government, had been a source of much trouble, extravagance aud dissatisfaction.

In every aspect heretofore the Republicans j have managed tbe seccs.-ion troubles just a.- badly as it has been possible to manage them. Aud now that they are in power in the executive ! branch of the Government they begin to feel the consequences of their miserable folly. When the j tanil bill was pending in L ongre-s they were warned, in vain, that its pissic.c would prove a serious embarrassment in the unfortunate olittcal com j licit ions with which Mr. Lincoln's administration would have to deal. And behold! the .-dem fact is already presented to them tint unless this tariff" law Mull be at once modified, or all the ports of the secc ie 1 Scales blockaded, revenue from customs will be speedily almost wholly cut off for, tiie t iriff of the Confederate States being very considerably lower than that recently enacted at Washington, the great bulk of foreign importations will come through their port! and be distributed by interior intercomniuaicatiou over the country ! The Republicans at Washington hive just awakened to this complexion of the business, and their le iding journals in New York and elsewhere are sound'iig the alarm which this discovery has produced. Hitherto these Republicans hive talked about the collection of the revenue on ship board off the ports of the seceded States, but this needs a special act ot Congress, and even j then, so cumberous is the machinery of the new I tariff lan- that that mode of collection is impossible. Tiie tariff" mint be modified; or the ports of the secede I States must be blockaded; or the political difficult ie must be composed; on Tin; Govi it Kant ok tiik UntO States mlst stoiv This is the point now reached. Under this complexion of things, an extca 'session of Obhgre-s is necessary, and we predict one will be called ithin thirty days. Three months ago the condition of affairs - might have been avoided by the simple accept ance by the Republicans of the Crittenden propositions. Tiie acceptance of tho-e pro;iositions would have prevented secession altogether, except perhaps the M ession oi' S uth Carolina, which would hive been of no con.-e.uences. What will Congress do when i: shall meet; There is but one right thing for it to do, and that is to OHaaaei the j.olitieal difficulties. It m ay, in deed, reduce the tariff to the st indeed of that of the secedel State-, but then the ece le 1 States may mike a still further reduction. It may blockade the Southern ports, but this will require I monstrous n aval force, and it w ill, too, le id to j war, and to the secession of other S Uttes, and by making re-iaiion impossible, it will leid to "ills j we know m t of."

Mr. C. was well known to the pe ple ol Indiana for his sterling integrity an i public and private worth, and the news of his decease will be rc-eived with unaffected sorrow by his lllfll Uli I friinds. We copy the following tribute to his memory from the Goshen 7'tmrs: Our whole community is shrouded in mourning at the announcement of this afflicting event. For more th in a quarter of a century his hale and stilwart form has daily been familiar to our citizens, his public spirit, hi energy and his sterling integrity have commanded the r repect, and his acts ot kindness and ber.evolence hive won all hearts. And it our whole people mourn his sudden departure, what shall we say for those who weep for the loss of so kind and indulgent a father, so devoted, so true, so loving a husband?

The Senate then considered the resolution ol j Mr. Douglas, calling for information relative, to forts, arsenals, navy yards and other public prop , erty iu the -ecedc 1 Siates. Mr. Bayard saitl he hid at all times endeavored 1 so to guard his course that DO word from his lips I should have a tendency to incre ise and foster i alienation aud separation between the difteren' portions of the Confederacy. He conceived re ! union to be impracticable, and there rem lined but of tan courses to pursue, viz: war with a view 1 1 subjugation, or the acknon ledgment of their imle pOBStonOO as a separate nationality. Mr. Bayard indicated a proposition he intentle 1 to offer, authorizing the President to conclude I ' treity wi'h the Confederate States, acknowledg ing their indeieudence as a separate nation, oth erwise the other alternative, civil war, would oc cur, which should be averted. He argued that the act of secession is a breach of contract, ami as such actunl revolution, but, at the same time, it is a revolution inaugurated by the people throughoi oOoctively, and you cannot meet it except! ir or peaceful negotiations. Tiie Senate then went into executive session, and afterwards adjourned. Washington. Tliursilar. March 21. SENATE. Mr. Douglas' resolution was ta ken up.

Was it not a purwse j which demanded the best energies off every one. Il seemed to him tint the Son itor from Illinois was furnishing aid to the enemies. His (How e s; party had done nothing to create the feverish ap- i prehension alluded to by the Senator from Illinois, rhoy had jan onrpoao to trample oh the rights of an individu il iu any portion of the country. He objected to Ponrias proposition to amend tlie Constitution on the ground that it would only be , unproved by a jtortion ot' the jieople, while a Constitution to be satisfactory must receive the assent off the whole country. We have such a Constitution now. why should not the eop'e be satisfied with it? He gave way to executive ession. Adjounic 1. j IfaaanmBBBi Saturday, March 23.

Bright and Breckinridge spoke in favor of postponement ou account of the small attend ance, and other reasons. Mr, Breckinridge said if the resolution is car ried Into effect, the offices would be distributed as the rewnnls lor partisan service. It was a dangerous ami mischievous system, and would ultimately break down any Govern ment on earth. Mr. Ilde, with due respect, said the Senator was not justified in the inference that there would be a general sweep. For one, he would be extremely sorry to see this done, but it would not be strange if the li-t of subordinates should re tpiire a little examination or sujiervision. Abuses may have crept in. II so, he hoped thex would be corrected and tlie faithful subordinate let alone. Mr. Bright opposed the resolution. Mr. Fcssenden did not desire to make a general change of officer. Thc most of them were en tirely acceptable, but a tew might be removed. Mr. Ciingman opposed a new election, rem irk ing that he neither now nor heretofore knew Hie political opinions of any of the suboiiiinates. Many persons want foreign missions. If they can't get these, they want to be Seargent at Arms. Mr. Douglas saitl political proscription was to be practiced for the mat time in the Senate to thc public injury and demoraliz ition. He hail hoped the Senate would be spared the degradation bnmght iiKin other branches of the Government Mr . Ne-niith recognized the doctrine that " to the victors belong the spoils." Considering the exigencies off the country, he would turn the Federal bayonets ag.iiual oihce-seekers. Mr. Powell moved to take up H de's resolution, heretofore onnooad, providing for the adjournment Of the Senate eine die to-day. It was evident the majority, inste id of transacting business of an Executive Motion, for which they were convened, go into a miserable scramble for the spoils. The Kepublic an-, for the tirst time, were attempting t bring the contest for place in thc Chamber. He looked ou thee things us de-pi cable enough to destroy any Government oh eirih. He would not ientl his ptc-ence to such degrading works.

convention of the States; arni that the relation of

the seceding States to the reJera Government can lie changed only by their voluntary return to tlie Union.
