Senator Pearce of Maryland, thinks it highly necessary that the Legislature should be convened-at the earliest moment, and that a convention should be forthwith called, in order that the most conservative men of the State should be convened in council, with the hope that a moderate and reasonable compromise can be matured, and at once submitted to the border States, before any collision occurs between the Federal and State governments, which now seems be inevitable.

Mr. Crittenden's efforts for peace and a restoration of the Union are treated with disrespect in some of the Republican papers, -and that venerable and patriotic Senator held up. by these same journals, as "furnishing ammunition to the guns of the nullifiers," &c. "They know not what they do." If Mr. Crittenden is to be scowled down by sectionalism-there is no hope,

Garrison, in his Liberator, is rejoicing at the prospect of a dissolution of the Union. He shouts at the top of his lungs in exultant and rejoicing hurras-declaring that the event will expedite the abolition of slavery, &c. That which divides our country, it may be, into two or more hostile confederacies, and which threatens to involve us in the horrors of civil war seems to make the old sinner mad with joy.-

Ought such fanatical wretches to enjoy the triumph which they anticipate. in the destruction of a government which they hate?
