"The end of these acts of despotism must come, either by Mr. Lincoln's administration wholly abandoning them, or by their resistance by the people even unto death." Such were the men who met to squelch the scheme for revolution planned by the Sons of Liberty, who fixed the 16th of this month for seizing Governor Morton and other officials, getting possession of the arsenals, liberating rebel prisoners, establishing a provisional government, and thus arraying the Northwest in rebellion. Bingham, of the Sentinel, and Pristine, State Auditor, were called up before the committee, and admitted they belonged to the Order, but were not in its inner circle, and did not know of the plot.

ion was laid over. A committee was appointed to confer with the House touching action in honor of the late President Lincoln.

Mr. Hooper introduced a proposition to reimburse to "loyal States" the expenditure they incurred in "putting down the rebellion."

Export duty on cotton. --Mr. Bingham's joint resolutions proposing to amend the Constitution for the purpose of authorizing an export tax on cotton and other Southern products will be powerfully supported. The Philadelphia Press thinks that the Southern people will not object to this tax.

It was, indeed, the necessary preparation for the South, had they succeeded in winning their independence, for that system of manufacturing, without which, according to Governor Orr and other sensible authorities, they are now so immeasurably suffering." Undoubtedly the Cotton States will oppose the measure. They wish to supply the world with cotton, and thereby recover some portion, at least, of the
