Th9 Peaee Conyeatioa Speech of ex-Preaiaent Tyler. When Ex-President Tylertook his seat as chairman of tb Peace Convention, he made a speacb whieb Was followed by congratulations from gentlemen from most of the States, and which raised high the hopes of tbe Union men. Mf. Chase, of Ohio, expressed himself as panic nlarly gratified, and assured Mr. Tyler as also' did moat of the other Commissioners, that they were willing to follow where Virginia lead. The following i the speech of Ex-President Tyler: - . '. ' QtXTLtMM: I fear yoa have committed a great error in appointiog me to the honorable position joa bava assigned me.

New Hampshire is here her fame illustrated by me mora ble annals, and still more lately as the birth place of bim who won for himself the name of Defender of the Constitution, and who wrote that letter of John Taylor which has been enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen. Massachusetts is not hero (tome member said she is coming) -I hope so, said Mr. Tiler, and that she will bring with her her daughter Maine. I d:d not believe it could well be that the voice which in other times, was ao familiar to her ears, baa been addressed to her in vain. Connecticut is here, aadshe comes, I doubt sot, in the spirit of Rog er Sherman, whose name with our very children has become a household word, and who was in life the embodiment of that practical sense which befits the great lawgivers, and construc tors of Governments. Ehode Island the land of Roger Williams, is here, one of the two last States in her jealousy of the publio liberty to give in her adhesion to the Crnstitution, and among the earliest to hasten to its rescue. The great Empire State of New York represented thus far bat by one delegates to day a fuller force to join in tbe great work of healing tbe discontents of toe times, and restoring the reign of fraternal feeling. New Jersey is. also here, with the memories of the past covering her all over. Trenton and Princeton live immortal in story the plains of the last ncrimsoned with the hearts blood of Virginia's sons. Among her delegation I rejoice to recognise a gallant son of a signer of the immortal Declaration which announced to tbe world that thirteen Provinces bad become thirteen independent and sovereign States. And here too is Delaware, the land of the Bayards and the Rodneys, whose soil at Brand j wine was moistened by the blood of Virginia's youthful Monroe. Here is Maryland, whose massive columns wheeled into the line with those of Virginia ia tbe contest for glory, and whose State House at Anapolis was the theatre of a spectacle of a successful commander, who, aftar liberating his country, gladly ungirth-el his sword and laid it down opoo tbe altar of that country. Then comes Pennsylvania; rich in revolutionary : lore, bringing with her the deathless names of Franklin and Morris, and I trust ready to reoew from tbe belfry of Independence Hall the chimes of the old bell which an nounced Freedom and Independence in former days All bail to North Carolina 1 with berTwo dare get op on the the Court House steps Mecklenburg declaration in her band, standing erect oa the ground of her own probity and firmness in the cause of public liberty, and represented in her attributes by her Macon, and in this assembly by her distinguished son, at no great distance from me. Four daughters ofVir-g-nia also clutter aroutd the same) board, on the "mvitatioo of their ancient mother, the eldest Kentucky, whose eons, under the intrepid warrior, Anthony Wayne, gave freedom of settlement to tbe territory of her sister, Ohio, and extending bis hand -daily and hourly across La Belle Riviere to grasp the hand of some one of kindred blood of the noble states of Indiana and Illinois and Ohio, who have grown op into powerful States already grand, potent and almost imperial. Tennessee is not here, but is coming prevented from being here Only by the floods which have swollen her rivers. When she ar arrives she will wear the badges on her warrior crest of victories won, in company with the Great West, on many an ensanguined plain, and standards torn from the hands of the conqoerers at Waterloo. Missouri and Iowa and Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, still linger behind, but it may be hoped that their hearts are with us in the great work we have to do. The eyes of the whole country are turned to this hall and tbia assembly in expectation and hope. I trust, gentlemen, that you may prove yourselves worthy of the great occasion. Oar ancestors probably committed a blander in not having fixed upon every fifth decade for a call of a general Convention to amend and reform the Constita ttoo. -On the contrary, they have made the difS calty next to insurmountable to accomplish amendments to an instrument which was perfect for five millions of people, but not wholly so as to thirty millions. Your patriotism will surmount the difficulties, however great, if you will but ao eomplish but one triumph in advance, and that il trtumph over party. What is party when compared to the task of rescuing one's country from danger f Do that, and one long, load shout of joy and gladness will resound throughout the land. . w ams$t)rtomtt.

It does seem to me that there must be honesty, intelligence, and patiotism enough yet in the hearts of our people to be willing to make the necessary concessions for a peaceable' and satisfactory settlement of all our difficulties aad a perpetuation of our glorious but now distracted Union. ; But if I am mistaken in this, and there is an appeal to arms, I have no hopes for the future of our Republic. ; Yours truly, DAVID GORSUCH.

I hate no bill of yours, so do not know the amount of my debt for the Banner. I am sorry it has remained so long unpaid, but promise to be more prompt in future. I have been in this city nearly three years, for the first two was in a retail dry goods house. I am now with Mr. vV bittaker, who is the largest pork packer in the city. He cut this winter, twenty-one thousand hogs in six weeks. . I am very comfortably settled now, and like the busices. I hope to be in Gamoier next summer, and will stop and see you. ' If you areoot this way, would be happy to see you, and show you this, the largest city west of the mountains. Business is very dull, the river is low ; no one will sell South unless the money accompanies the order. -'.'.; This business (provision) is cash at all times. We are getting good prices for pork, lard, and bacon, and if we have a good stage of water, from this to Cairo, will not have a pound of meat in the house by the last of next month. The Convention meets the 20th of this month. General opinion is Missouri will secede. This city was strong "Black Republican," from Mayor down to tbe Lamp LigLter. But now they will not acknowledge their, party. All are Union men. The Black Republicans are dead here. There is not one, from Frank Blair, Jr., down, make a speech. - Our mot, to in St. Louis is, M keep the Slavery question out of Congress ; guarantee the 8outh her rights ; give her what she asks for, and Mis souri will remain, if not she joina the Sooth." 1 hope to tee this quebtion settled toon, and that the Union will be stronger than it ever I remain ",:v';' Yourt respectfully, G. F. D. REPUBLIC A PT POLICY. A Capital Article, . From t Louisville Journal. "Touch it off gently,' said Pat atanding before the mouth of the cannon and supposing it was only primed. " Tooch it off gently, and I'll catch tbe ball in this basket." Tt was touched off as gently as possible, bat Pat and the basket were never seen again. Thus do many of tbe Repub- ican leaders of the present day blunder along as they approach the terrible crisis of our country's destiny. They seem to think that tbey can man age the explosive forces of human passion and civil war, and pocket a net profit upon the whole operation. Notwithstanding the repeated declar. ations of Congressmen from Southern States, not withstanding the emphatic declarations of a dozen Gubernatorial messages and the solemn acts and resolutions of a majority of Southern Legislatures, notwithstanding a thousand unmis takable indications . of deep, Strong, and an changeable feeling in the Southern States, a por. tiou of tbe leaders of the Republican party have gone oa steadily ignoring all these portentious signs of tbe times ia a: policy which they must must have known, if they had capacity to understand the plainest indications, would imperil the Union. Tbey cooly rejected all propositions to unite upon any recognized conservative national candidate, and, while the eords that hold our Union together were snapping under the strain, they labored with a seal and power worthy of a better causa to break asunder all the remaining links of the Union by instilling into their follow era the prejudice and hatred against tbe Slave-. holding 8tatee. That infamous and vindictive libel written by tha renegade -.Helper waa circr lated by tha hundred thousand as a campaign document of the Republican party endorsed by some of ite leading: mea. : " -.-After all this after deriding aad depreciating the power, the character, aad the resources of the Southern States, wo should not perhaps bw surprised at the rotes east by their dapes,bct we hare a right to expect Xrom the leaders of the party a higher order cf intelligence, which should rise above the tricks aad deceptions cf, en electioneering campaign and realize the "true, ooodi - lioa cf the eouetry, siace area, their foUowers by hundreds of thousands leva marLstei their as e de&Ire Lr amicatle and p&triotla seUlemect cf our national contest.' 17a 'aro :i3rry ta sy, tUt, if aach inUjsjica exl;'.:,n U c"rj. t!q- ia Cisiuigforti toncittia crisl:.!! reara to-z fcoitcrZIcjCepatlicta te:;j;;rs.TI pal' trybu-aln-3 cf. the late.

Not believing Greeley altogether a fool, we were compelled to suppose that he had reconciled his conscience to the necessity of winning an election by transparently false pretences. If he would now claim credit for sincerity in that prediction, he would prove a degree of ignorance or imbe cility which would excuse his present transcea dent follies. Tbi Tribune, the Times, and other leading Republican- papers are urging the coer cion of all the seceded States by an embargo or blockade, which, they maintain Would gently switch them back into the Union without invol ving the calamities of war or inflicting any injury upon the North. Nay, they are even calculating that all the commerce of the country would be driven to Northern ports j that Southern cotton would make a' handsomer speculation by thus playing gracefully and daintily at the great game of war. To such stuff as this, we would reply emphatically gentlemen, unless yon are reso lutely bent on realizing all the horrors of war, yoa need not deceive your readers any longer by such delusive assurances. If you know no better yoarselvea, if you really believe that your nice and comfortable calculations will be verified, and that the Southern States will succumb like mischievous children to a little .flagelation, we ara amazed at your folly and can scarcely conceive how men of respectable intelligence on other anbjecta could be so utterly deluded in reference1' to this great question. . Can you for a moment doubt that the blockade of the Southern States would be resisted by all their .warlike energies? 8urely your partisan prejudices have not wrought such telf-deception. Can you anticipate any other consequences than the annihilation of all American commerce by privateers, except so far as it may be protected by the presence of men-of-war. Do you not plainly sea that Northern manufactures would lose net only for a time but perhaps forever their Southern market that emi gration to the North would be arrested by the want of employment and by burdensome taxes, and that the calamities of war would be terribly realized by every inhabitant of the Northern States 7 If the policy, of a deluded party should drive the South into consolidated Uuioa jadefanse of ita deude4jigliijpavaoprsnjiha.tjlev millions of as warlike a population as the world contains, familiar with the use of arms and occupying a country fall of innumerable strongholds furnished by Nature, would shrink frem a war of invasion however desolate 7 That such a war must produce immense sneering and de vastation on both sides is eelf evident but to an ticipate the conquest of such a people as the men of tbe South or to suppose that their proud bearing and lofty spirit could be lowered by any such attempt at . military coercion is bnt the delusion of a fanatio or the dream of a comfortable scribbler who speculates at ease in bis arm chair, but knows nothing of the stern realities of war, ' You count upon the black population as an element of danger and weakness only, forgetting, as that agrieuhnral laborers, tbey count as effi ciently in waraa if they were in the field.

T In tha Democratic and Union" Sute Convention of New York, whieb met in Albany on the lit instant, and which was composed of mora thaa seven hundred members, an exciting scene occurred upon the adoption of the second resolution, which reads as follows: 2. Iteadoed, That in the opinion of this Con vention, the worst and the most effective argument that can be addressed by the Confederacy or its adhering members to the seceding Statea is civil war. Civil war will not testore the Union, but will defeat forever its reconstruction. On the reading of the resolution, Chancellor Walworth appeared upon the platform. His venerable looks claimed instant attention from the Convention, and he was received with an oat burst of enthusiastic applause. He said: Gentlemen of the Convention: I am far avanced in years, and not ia the habit of attend ing conventions of thia character, but I could not resist to enter my protest against civil war. I have seen the horrors of sack a coafleL. In the War of 1812 my boose, in Plattsbargb, was sacked by tbe British. A battle was fought op posite my very door, and the bullets that were fired fell like bailstones around my dwelling. Ia the easement of my door remains to this day imbedded one of those ballets, a memento of the fight. In that struggle I saw ; my fellow citizens shot down by my side. . I know, "then, the horrors of a foreign war, and they arc aoth-, lag as compared with the horrors of a civil war. A civil war is a war among brethren. Wo are all brethren in thia Confederacy of States; the people of the South are our brethren, not only nominally, :but actually our brethren. In Geor gia alone I have the names of one thousand cit. iaeas whoae ancestors wee near relations of my OW. I axha Rlmt Toca OJ OltJ'i ti dred relatives of the family of Hillhoass, whose name ie known as that of one of the patriots of the Revolution, and whose descendant now occupies a seat in our State Senate, and so, scattered all over the Southern States are the near relatives of the men of the North, and perhaps there is scarcely a member of this Convention who has not some Such ties in the States of the South. It would be as brutal in my opinion, to send men to batcher oar own brothers - of the Southern States as it would be to massacre them in the Northern States. We are told, however, that it is our duty to, and we must, enforce the laws. Bat whj7 and what laws arc to be enforced? There, were laws that were to be enforced in the American Revelation, and the British Parlia ment and Lord North cent armies there to en furee them. . : But what did Washington say ia regard to the enforcement of those laws? That man hooored at home and abroad more than any other man on earth ever was honored did he go for ea. forcing the laws? No, bo wont to resist laws that were oppressive against a free people, and against the injustice of which they rebelled. - Did Lord Chatham go for enforcing the laws? No, be gloried ia defence of the liberties of America. Be made that memorable declaration in the British ' Parliament, "If I was an Ameri can citizen instead of as I am, an Englishman, I never would submit to inch laws never, never, never! ' Sack Is the spirit that animates our Southern brethren, and shtll we war upon them for it? Nol Wo mast avert civil war if possible, and 1 cloao by exhorting my brethren to do all in their power to avert civil war. Concession, conciliatioa any thing but that and no man amons: as, in bis dying hour will regret that his eon-science is clear, and that be can lay his hand noon his heart and say. Mf did ail ia my power to turn from the bosom of my country the horrible blow of a civil war." Immeoca sensation followed the remarks of the venerable Chancellor, and the deep silence that bad attended hie remarks was followed by aa enthusiastic oat burst of applause. - Ur. Charles EL Carroll appeared oa the stand, aad tha enthusiasm of the Convention burst forth , lit. CarroTl said; - A One who bore the aamc of Charlee Carroll, one of the signers of the IV claratioa of Independenca, could he stand back at this time?

Sir t In answer to your letter otiho 24tk inst, asking if yoa have the right, "under existing relations," to frank and distribute certain public documents, I have the honor to state that the theory of the Administration is that the relations of South Carolina to the General government have been in nothing changed by her recent act of secession , and, this being so, yoa . are of course entitled to the franking privilege until the first Monday in December next. If, however, as I learn s the case, yoa sincerely, and decidedly entertaia the conviction that by that act of South Carolina she ceased to be a member of the Con federacy and is now a foreign State, it will be for yoa to determine bow far yoa can conscien tionsly exercise a privilege, the exercise of which assusaos that year own coarictioo ie - erroneous, and plainly declares that South ; Carolina is still ia tho Union, aad that voa are still a member of the Courress of the United States.
