FRIDAY MORNING,. FEBRUARY 17, 1855. TJkios asd h aemckt should be . lh& watehwor d , ofever jcitiren of thf South. : Nothing can be Rained to our cause, 'bjjcapiious complaint or fault flndiac against the government" or against any pertien of the people, who may differ witrnts as to meVor measures " Recent develdpements show that the government is disposed to abate that partisan rigldity.whlch many believe 'has so long eharacV terizedit The ap'poirjtment of Messrs. Stephens and Campbell upon the peace. commission, knowing their aaxiatiea for negotiation silences forercr the idea that the Presideat would not make. peace if he could, and the reply of Lincoln to tb com wifMinntrs. cute off allihope of better terms to be effered tothe States w - than to the" Confederacy. The myth of separate pr conjoint State action is I therefore dead for ever.) Its agitation hereafter een enly b prompted by a disposition to irritate nd throw obstructions in the way of thenion of the Seatb, or from a cowJrdly purpose to submit to the deradiog terms of Linco'n. . x Congress, too, manifests the purpose to throw off the yoke of party, and (he recent- election of the Hon. t7. A". Graham, of this State, as President jtre Um., in the abser cq of Mr Stephens and- Mr. Hunter, ii a strong exhibition of tffat purpose.--Ifr. Graham Has always-been a Conser?ative. No public man in the Soufbr has a more clear or envia ble reeord from his first! enffce into public life to the, present day, than, he hsi. A purer, more eensistent, cooler, wiserman the South does not keld, and no man more fentiiely enjoys ;e public cenfidance. especially ia his own State, than Got-. ernor.Graham. What he coolly deliberates upon and determines to be beet, and he de4iberafes cool ly on all public affaiw, 2lorth Carolina is willing te risk and abide by. Opposed to the . measures which inaugurated the present state of Aifairs, yet wh,n the proper time came for North jZarolina. to act, the was proud to aclcn'owledge his lead and ceunsel which disserereij the State from the old TJnioa and lraked her ddstiny with the Confederate States. From that moment he hsFS&ver- swerved ia his devotion to the Confederacy and tbe-South-"ern canse. Thiough weal cr woe, though "doubtful ef the tmccess of mGnymeisuros and acts of the Adaainistration, yet jealcms of the truo 'interests of . thtConfedersey; every sup he has aken,"has been ine of eonvicticn and -etern tnty,. unfalteringly pursuing and counselling the best ends of the Re pabUct No man in the State h&3 given a more eonstant and hearty support to tho administration f Gevemor Va.nce. Seeing no good to rwult but evil, frem the incautious 'agitation of peace move ments by means of separate Stafc action, he has nmiferaly counselled a'-iinst the ogitation, and urged as the wisest and best policy, constant devo tiflblethe causo and an onwaverino: adhorence to the Constitution and the paw?. His great political wisdom, his cool judgmnt, hia purify and unsel fithness, point him out jto the country and to the jpresident, as one cf the safest counsellors in this crisis. This is no bid for a chango in Gorcrnor Graham's position. We desire no change, and we are sure he docs not. ?He ?s precisely where we defire him to be, but in that capacity it willbo well fey the public interi3ts, that Congress and the au- tberities should listen toand consider his counsel Hen. J no. a. uumer in tne liotrse nas a proud . .a record, as do o'.hers of our delegation in Congress. But we lame Mr. UiJmer especially, because o nil intimate relation witn tne controversy in the oldCengres? h;s anxieties an i hia labors to save the country Irom the direml consequences' which have fallen upon 'us, and becausfi of the vio lent abuse and villification heaped upon him by ultraieta at home, who impugned "his motives- and e ought to destroy him. No man has borne him self more nobty in thjs pontest than Mr. Gilmer. ffhateTer might have been hisn former convictions and opinions, and-he has "never ignored them, yet tree aa the needle to the pole, Tie has Sustained the Cenfederacy through weat and woe, has stood firm ly in support of GovVarice's administration, and always urged upon his political friends, forbearance si a ! .. . ." lewaras tatir opponents ana uevpuon to tne. cause lor its own sake and the sake of the country. jtut no lact nas occurred wnicn gives us more umingled satisfaction, than tho assurances we re eftve ffem every quarter, of tKe entire unity and hr , saooy which now exists in the Congressional dele gation from this Slate. Prior to the Peace ,Cons ftreneeitwas boldly asserted here; that eight of the twelvefcf cur Congressional delegation were deoi- dedly in favor of an immediate call of a Sute-Con- Tantion. We have been assured upon good authori- ty, that at no time, were there more than two of . r delegation, ia favor of kn early Call of atjonven- tioj Iiow it is 6S8erted, thn the results of the re cent Peace Conference have united the entire delega tion, that our only hope fdr peace, with the Jblca ing 01 wvme rrovidencej is in the union ol all Southern hearts and arms in the struggle for liber j andd.Xlpendcnce. . We have differed in (Tpinion with JJr. J. T. Leach in matters of public policy, fiat we nave never douutedlhe mtagrity of his pur fesesi It is gratifjipg lo! us therefore to. learn, that Pr. Leach stands up minfully with the dele ation. To bis personal friends te has always said. "Let us make an honest cfiort to secure an henorablepeacefrom Mr: Lincoln.

Lest the effects of such an avowal should damage Lincoln and .his party at '"home. The New York Ttm es and the Washington Chron- sioners presented, an ultimatim alee : that tney at manded-the recognition of our irjdependenceas a siiie qua non, a precedent to entering on negotia tions, and therefore the conference" failed td produce any practical results.

And yet in .the columns of thoso very journala among us, that are following the Times and the Chronicle in the assertion-, we see i : stated not edi torially to be sure, that Seward in his report to Adams says, "what the . insurgent party seemed chiefly to favor was a postponement of the question of separation upon which thfl wa s waged . and a mutual direction of efforts of the govern men t as well as those of the insurgents to aomo, extrinsic policy or scheme for a season, during which pas sion might be expected to subside, md ,4he armies be reduced IJere is nothing of the tiltimatum of independence as a stumbling block at the thresh hold, but a distinct denial by a Ya ikeo cognizent of all the facts It is true that this fact had not ap peared when oiir pea.ee or svbmissioi presses fell jn after the'N.

We , shall see.. Assuredly, we thought that Vice President Stephens was worthy ofoeliet, ana wlien he ana the otheil commissioners and Seward all concur jn the same statement that no ultimatum was presented by us.iand this state ment is corroborated by all the statements of every body in both sections, witlf the exception of one or two of the most tnicklinst abolition eheets of the North, and the few ,others who fdlfow in their wake and take their cue from theip, the whole purpose of the fabrication becomes too-palpable to merit aenous reputation.
