Arthur St. Clair was appointed Gevemor of what was then called the North-west Territory, and Winthrop Sargent, Secretary. During the next year thec gentlemen appear to have vuited Marietta, Fort Washington, (now Cincin nati.) and Kaskaskia, at each of which places courts were established, and officers appointed, for the administration of justice. The county of Hamilton was organized at Fort Washington, and the county of St. Clair at Kaskaskia. Other duties engaging the attention of Gov. St. Clair, ffr.

A friend having asked the intrepid editor of the Knoxville Whig, whether, since six states havo seceded from the Union, he ' is willing to risk himself and State under tlie Administration of Mr. Linoolu, he th is wpltcs: I am willing to risk myself and State under the Administration of Abraham Lincoln. I am not, however, willing to submit to the outrages the firc-catera of the South allege that Mr. Lincoln intends to commit npon t'-c South. 1 do not beliovc that he will meddle with the institution of lvery where it is, or seek to deprive the South of any right .behold under the Constitution. And I believe that he will enforce the Constitution and the laws of the United States, as his oath of ofiicc requires him to do, and as justice to the various sections of the t'nion demand at his bauds. 1:1 am mistaken in the estimate I have put npon the integrity and patriotism of 1 tir.- T 1 irtrrii t t ttrrtpL' r f racial nri na T wanf a v m. uv iii anv v n w i vaituiivv m, o on v other proof of the bad faith in which Mr Lincoln intends to act, than the prediction of his enemies. I have snhmiite I to the Administration of James Buchanan for four years, and my State has deno so. without amurmcr, and 1 hold that Lincoln could not afford the country a more corrupt, partial, and infamous administration, if he were to try! Lincoln was elected under the forms prescribed by onr Constitution and laws, and without fraud at the ballot box, and it is the duty of all good citizens to give him a fair test, before they condemn him. 1 went into the contest against Lincoln, as did also my State, knowing him to be a sectional candidate, upon a sectional platform, an 1 as we were fairly beaten, we I feel bound in honor to abide by our de feat for four years to come, lhe reign of Lincoln for tweuty years, npon even the CLicago Platform, is preferrable, to the breaking up of this Government.

I have considered tho nature of theso grievances, and their effects upon the commerce, trade and religion ol the South, and they may be expressed in the following words: The Democracy of the South have lost the offices of the Government and its imtiunse patronage! And a large majority of the free and independent people of Tennessee, taking this view of tlie subject, they will refuse to go out of the Uaioa r&S u (aaf7 r v ar antulT ' Having thus fully and frankly answered the question propounded. I might here close my remarks; but I choose to go farther and say even more. There is scarcely a man ot talent and character living, even ion not outli ned onand damnable scheme of Secession. Tho Senators of seven States have been sitting in their seats as Senators, sworn to sup port the Constitution of the United States, and to act as the privy counsel of the Prestlent, aud at the same tuns they were hold ing secret me. tings, plotting the overthrow OI" Government and Constitution they they had sworn to sustain aud support.

Wasmnotos, Feb. 14. rrto'Er:DiXGs is tuk house. Mr. Howard, from the Select Commitof Five, submitted a report as to the piracy. The Committee saylf.!,ie PU'Pse WW Wimt ot forming an organization to seize tne District of Columbia or attack fiio Capitol, or prevent the inauguration of Lincoln, it seems to have been rendered contigent upon the secession of Maryland and Virginia, and the sanction of one of them. Certain organizations in the District and Maryland, that prior to ths election, seemed to be open political cUbs, havo since assumed the character of military organizations, and are now engaged in drilling, and expect to provide themselves with arms; some from State authorities, others from private subscriptions, but so far as the Committee is able to learn thoir purposes while they sympathize strongly with secession there is no proof that they intend to attack either the Capitol or District, unless surrender should be demanded by the State, to which they profess a high degree of allegiance. Some of these companies in Baltimore professed to be drilling for the sole purpose of preventing other military companies from passing through the State of Maryland. Whether these representations are correct or not, the Committee failed to discover satisfactory evidence that they havo any purpose whatever, as a mere mob without the sancthn of the State authority, to attack the Capitol or any other public proporty in the District, or seize the District. If it is admitted that any of these organizations were hostile to tho Government or, entertained unlawful purposes, they are in no proper sense secret, :nd are not therefore, such as are contemplated in tho resolutions of the House. The Committee unanimously of opinion that tho evidence before them does not prove the existence of a secret organization here or elsewhere hostile to the Government that has for its object upon its own responsibility, to attack the Capitol or any other public property here, or any interruption of the functions of the Government.
