Ignatius Flynn acting as Secretary. Mr. John S. Betts, of tao 1 went)-first ward, offered the following res* oluti.ma,: Resolved, That wc reiterate our opposition to this bloody, relentless, unnecessary and fruit less war. In our opinion it ie time that the whole American people, Northern! South,should demand of their Rulers its immediate discontin uance. Resolved, I hat the restoration of the Union is dependent upon the policy of the Democrat ic party and not upon the result of battles; be cause the latter determines nothing, while the * u .nK>i, wtiivt. „in ,i no ministration, will determine every thing. If this policy shall lie f r war, the war will go oil. as barren ol results as it has been heretofore, but if it shall lie for pence ; under the lead of some vigorous, able, and independent man, the war wi'.l cease, good ficling will be revived between the sections, the Union will be restored, and all our glorious past be once tnore brought back and continued forever. Resolved, 'Lliat the conduct of our foreign af fairs by ibis administration has been a scries of blunders; at times blustering, and again timid; now pot-valiant, and then cowardly—it has al ready placed us in a position where even Eng land dares lo bully us. While we deprecate and shall continue to oppose the prosecution of tbe civil war pendfhg, we require and demand that the administration shall submit to no more insults from Great Britain. To resist that in solent power, we pledge every man and every dollar required in a vigorous and successful ef fort to maintain the honor, the flag, and the in terest of the country. Resolved, 1 hat tho arrest and detention of the Hon. Clement E. Vallnndiuliain. of Ohio, upon a military order, as a punislun nt for the exer cise of the right of fie • speech in popular dis cussion (which is no offence nil ler the laws of the land), is another step towards absolute des potism. VVe denounce this act, by whomsoev er authorized or instigated, as a crime against tho people of nil the States. To resist aggres sion less odious our revolutionary fathers, of ev ery colony on the continent, made common cause, and we men of New York, sympathi zing with our brethren of other States subject ed to such outrages, pledge "our lives, our for tunes, and our sucred honors," to stand by them to the last. Ex-Recorder Smith spoke in favor of the re solutions. lie said tliurc is not u despotism on the face of the eartli where a man at least has not tho right to express his views in tho cause of humanity. Hut in this country a man who has ! t l v o: copied a high position as a member of Congress, a mail of ability, educa tion, and tried patriotism, for no cause in the world except that in a political meeling he said to those that were around him that we were en gaged in a war which cannot result beneficial ly to us—for this his house is forcibly entered by soldiers and he is carried away and impris oned. He is brought before a military tribu nal. Is not treason defined by statute? Is there tiny reason that the law should he tram pled upon and entirely disregarded, as if they wished to show the people the power they have, and thiv they core not for the Consti tution and laws ? They commit an act of out rage and \i donee nnparallelled in the history of this or ac.v other civilize'! land since the blood - days of the French Revolution. [Ap p! .use.] Neituer this government nor any other can stif ! the voice of the millions of the people ex cept tkey drown it in blood [Applause.] Have they forgotten h- w Parke and Chatham in : • ' • . fit denounced American t "i were not seized and •t..vy :iii<until top expressing 1, I HUM tl.ere was a peace par ty [Api la use] it ever there was a time when we sf. mid cull fi a cessation of these sad ox pcrlniente wo have lieen making, it is now.— \ Some of these men who are opposed to this, if they could but boar the wails and weeping that j Freedom of Thought and Opinion.

" OH plause.j In response to loud calls, Hon. Jus. Brooks ! rose to speak. He said he thought a crixis bad I arisen in public attains in which it is necessary ! lor every nuin, as often as possible, to show : himself in public in order to rebuke the exist- j ing administration. When a distinguished pub- | lie tnan whom lie knew well, whom many oi l them knew well, whom we all loved and rever-1 ed, distinguished for bis eloquence, his learning, j his high attainments, distinguished above all for! bis mol'nl heroism—physical heroes are abun- j aant, but moral heroes are few and far between j —when such a man bus been arrested, he felt 1 it his duty to appear here and join in a general j expression of public opinion. Mr. Brooks re-) lated the circumstances of Mr. Vallaiuiighum's arrest. The doors of his house hud been bat tered down at 3 o'clock in the morning by a company of abolition soldiers, armed with mus kets, und lie was arrested, kidnapped from bis wife uud house, abducted, carried oti to Cincin nati, incarcerated there lawlessly, tyrannically, wickedly, by the minions in power. No outrage on earth can be so great as that. No king in Europe, not Niipoleon on bis throne, or the Czar of Russia even, dure vio-1 late the saeredness of a private citizen's home,! and the principle is so high and holy in Eng- | lisli law ttiat for live hundred years the king I of England has not dared to violate it. A j man's house is his castle. The doors of this j man's bouse have been broken into by a law- i less soldiery in the hour approaching morning, j when man slumbers most heavily, cruelly a-1 laruting his wife and family. If such a thing j were done in England, not only peasant and i laborer, but the aristocrat himself would risei in indignation to overturn an administration | that dared lie guilty of such au outrage. [Ap plause.] Here, and here alone has the thing been at tempted in order to allriglit and overawe the Democracy of Ohio. Twenty-live yeurs ago, when Napoleon was laying out the beautiful garden of the T'uileries in Paris, for the grat ification of the French nation. > miserable ;i)i-L a dirty shanty was fiefu Some iwo Hundred yards from the first anil august Napoleon, who had six hundred thousand bayonets under his control, by an humble Frenchman who, on be ing usked to sell, refused, and tho august Napo leon never (hired to break open the door ol that little but, so sacred was die right even in France. [Applause.] If we do not resist this now it soon will be too late to resist it. If wc do nut protest against it from the beginning, and on every occasion, the manacles ut despotism will be soon so enchained upon us that no hu man power can bear them. We should careful ly, within the bounds of the law, create the sys tem of agitulion, continual agitation, which will urouse the people and awaken them to re sistance. We should present petitions as well as remon strances to the President—for the right of peti tion is yet lett to us, poor subjectsot Abraham Lincoln; wo should petition our governor, if necessary, to use his influence with the Gover nor of Ohio to maintain the principles of the Magna Cliurta and huieas corpus lor the libera tion of our ibtluw-eitizeii, Mr. ValUuitlighaui. [Cheers.] Mr. Brooks said lie bad received a letter l..is afternoon from a brigadier general in Indiana, Gen. Haskell, in which he speaks of an article commenting on a most extraordinary war order he had issued, and says it is lucky for him (the speaker) that his paper was not published in Indiana, for he would have sup pressed it very quickly. The audacity anil in solence of these miserable creatures in straps and lace llic speaker would resist and denounce at every occasion and at all hazards. Republi can liberty is never to be secured but by con tinual watchfulness. Tyranny and despotism we should resist to the utmost of our ability in and under the law. As long us they leave us j tho ballot box our victory is sure, and if they do not leave us the ballot bo!%saiJ Mr. Brooks, by tbe eternal God, 1 will be willing to lead a ny army, if you will trust to my leadership, to resist ali such tyranny in active opposition. es-Wo have heard the story of a Quaker, who, upon being implored by a Republican to join the Loyal League, responded: Friend thee ehangest thy name too of ten j I have known thee as a Whig, as a Free .Soilcr, as a Native A merican, as a Know Nothing, as a Republican, as a sneerer at the Union, as a friend of the U iiion, as a Loyal Leaguer, and thou recollectcst how many more tities, and 1 cannot trust thee. When brother Obed fell from grace and became a rogue, he changed his name, and I have found that whenever men design making their living by dishonest means, they arc always likely to do the same.

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY, Iu the U. S. Senate, Feb. 7,1839. MR. PRESIDENT: At tbe period of the form ation of oir Constitution, und afterwards, our patriotic ancestors apprehended danger to the Union from two causes. One was the Allegha ny mountains, dividing the waters that flow into the Atlantic Ocean from those which find their outlet in the Gulf of Mexico. They seemed to present a natural separation. That danger lias vanished before tbe noble achievements of the spirit of internal improvement, and the immor tal genius of Fulton. And now nowhere is found n more loyal attachment to the Union, than among those very Western people, who, it was apprehended, would be the first to burst its ties. The other cause, domestic slavery, happily the sole remaining cause which is likely to dis turb our harmony, continues to exist. It was this which created the greatest obstacle, and the most anxious solicitude, in the deliberations of tbe Convention that adopted the Federal Constitution. And it is this subject that has ever been regarded with the deepest anxiety by all who are sincerely desirous of the permanen cy of our Union. The Father of his Country, in his last affecting and solemn appeal to his fellow-citizens, deprecated, as a most calamitous event, the geographical diiisions which it might produce. The Convention wisely left the several States the power over the institution of slavery, as a power not necessary to the plan of the Union, und which contained the seeds of certain des truction. There let it remain, undisturbed by any unhallowed hand. Sir, I am not in the habit of speaking light ly of the possibility of dissolving this luippy U- Tiiou. The Senate knows that I have deprecated allusions, on ordinary occasions, to that direful eieut. -Tho country will testify, that if there be anything in the history of my public career worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sin cerity of my ardent devotion to its lasting pres ervation. But we should be false in our allegi ance to it, if we did not discriminate between the imaginary and real dangers by which it may be assailed. ABOLITIONISTS should be no longer regarded as an imaginary danger. The Abo litionists, let mo suppose, succeed in their pres ent aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free States, as one tnan, against the inhabitants of the slave States. Union on one side will beget union on tho other. And this process of recip rocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions, and im ""P'siiiM which are possible to de grade or deform human rnuuic. n. ......... ..... solution of the Union will have taken place, whilst the forms of its extistcnce remain. The most valuable element of union, mutual kind ness, the feelings of sympathy, the fraternal bonds, which now happily unite us, will have been extinguished forever. Due section will Stand in menacing and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will be quick ly followed by the clash of arms. I will not attempt to describe RCCIICS wVicli now happily , lie concealed from oar view. ABOLITIONISTS ITIKMSKI.VKS WOULD stIKINK BAt K IN DISMAY AND tioßßoit at the contemplation of desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human gov ernment that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man. Nor should these Abolitionists flatter them selves that if they can succeed in their object of uniting the people of the free States, they will enter the contest with a numerical superi ority that must insure victory. All history and experience pro-.-e the hazard and uncertainty of war. And wo are admonished by Iloly Writ that the race is not to the swift, nor the bailie to the strong. But if they were to conquer, whom would they conquer 1 A foreign foe ? No, sir. It would he a conquest without laurels, without glori/; A SELF, SUICIDAL CONQUEST; a conquest ol broth ers over brothers, achieved by one over another portion of the descendants of common ances tors, who, nobly pledging their lives, their for tunes, and their sacred honors, had fought and bled, side by side, in many a hard battle on land and ocean, severed our country from the Brit ish crown, and established our national inde pendence. I am, Mr. President, no friend of slavery. The searcher of all hearts knows that every pulsation of mine beats high and strong in the cause of civil liberty. Whenever it is safe and practicable, I desire to see every portion of tho human family in the enjoyment of it. But I prefer the LIBERTY "OF MY OWN HACF. to that of any other race. The liberty of the descendants of Africa in the United States is incompatible with the safety and liberty of the European descendants. Their slavery forms an exception —an exception resulting from n stern and inex orable necessity—to the general liberty in the United-States. We did not originate, nor are we responsible for, tliis necessity. Their liber ty, if it were possible, could only lie established by violating the incontcstible powers of the STATUS, and SUBVERTING THE UNION. And be neath the ruins of the Union would be buried, sooner or later, THF. LIBERTY OF BOTH RACES. How fearfully arc these words of wisdom and prophecy now being fulfilled. A father came home from his business at early evening, and took his little girl upon his knee. After a few dove-like caressess, she crept to his bosom and fell asleep. He carried her himself to her chamber, and said, "Nellie would not like to go to bod and not say her prayers." Half opening her large bluo eyes, she dreamily articulated, "Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord—" thon adding, in a sweet murmur, "He knows tho rest," she sank on her pillow, in His watch ful carc who "givctli his beloved slep." WHOLE NUMBER, 3058 VOL. 6, NO 42. The Civil War in the Vendee. The civil war in the Vendee, which involved the greater part of J'oilou, a part of Atijou and a porlion of JJretagne, never extended over the one-fortieth part of France; yet it involved a loss of nearly seven armies. One hundred and titty thousand Vendecans fell in a mighty strug gle, which for a time puzzled the best Generals of the French Republic. It commenced very soon after the breaking out of the Revolution, and was carried on with varied success by the insurgents and the Republican armies. Robes pierre ordered the Vendee to Is;destroyed by,tire and sword, and tbc army despatched against it received the name of the tncendiai i/nrmy. Yet the Vendee was not subdued, and after the Jacobins were driven from power and their leaders sent to the guillotine, Carnot caused, on the 2d December, 1794, a proclamation to be issued offering the Insurgents terms of peace and a general pardon. At the same time De putiip of the National Convention entered into negotiations with Charctte, oueof their leaders, on the loth February, 1795, and with Stofflct, who commanded another division of insurgents, on the 2d day of May following. A general amnesty, compensation for the destruction of their property, exemption from military service, and religious toleration were offered and ac cepted, and for a time la Vendee wa paci fied. The Vendecans again rose against Napoleon in 1801, and were with great difficulty sdbdued. They rose again when they heard of the des truction of the groat army in Russia. After Napoleon's return from Elba, they once more took up the sword ''for their king and their religion," and were only finally subdued on tho day Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo. In 183') when Louis Phillippe mounted thcthrono, the insurrectionary movement of the Vendee was soon suppressed. Napoleon 111. has won the people of Ven dee, Anjou, Poitou and Bretagne by the inost studied kindness, and the population of these provinces are now reckoned among the most reliable Bonapartists in all France. When the last Italian war broke out, the Emperor had no occasion to station a single additional regi meat in any of these old revolutionary provin ces.—Age. AI:E THERE ANY SI'IRITS PRESENT TO-NIGHT? —We clip the following from the liurlington (Iowa) Argus : —When liie Clergymen of Chi cago waited upon the President of the United States, he informed them that the proclamation for the freedom of the negroes would be like x ope = v -tjot." awwxkhe President, "if the Lord dosires me to att HUB, why don't he inform me who tun so deeply in terested in, and responsible for knowing ?" The Chicago priesthood did not understand iiiin.— They were simple. Methodists. Hut Hubert Dale Owen, who is a spiritualist, had a com munication with the spirits, thereupon wrote a letter to Secretary Stanton urging the Procla- | mation upon the country and the President as just, right, and of Clod. Judge Edmonds, Hob- ' ert Dale Owen and other spiritualists gave the | President the long expected communication thro' mediums, and he acted accordingly. Now put a pin right here. In no arbitrary arrest lias this form of despotism been exercised toward a Puritan or Spiritualist. Dashioll and Olds a tiioug the Methodists, MoPheeters among the Presbyterians, McMastor among the Catholics; Episcopalians represented by Judge Carraichael, all well, thoroughly and fitly represented in pris ons without crimet but no Puritan, no Spiritu alist, has ever been arrested—none ever will.— We have an administration controlled by spirit ualism. Gurley is a spiritualist, Robert Dale Owen, Judge Edmonds and Th"d. Stevens, lingame, Sluirz and Sumner are spiritualists.— The last appointment announced is that of Gur lcy, of Cincinnati, Governor of Arizona, a spir itualist. lias it come to this—a great country governed by ghosts, spirits, hobgoblins, table turnings, rappings, &c.? lie not deceived; this is the animus of the Administration. The Age of Man. Few men die of ago. Almost all persons die of disappointment, passion, mental or bod ily toil, or accident. The passions kill men sometimes oven suddenly. The common ex pression, "choked with passion," lias little ex ageration in it, for even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life. Strong-bod ied men often die young—weak men live long 4 er than tho strong, for the strong use their strength, and tho weak have none to use. The latter take care of themselves; the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the the mind and temper. The strong are apt to break, or like tbe candle, run; the weak burn out. The inferior animals which live temper ate lives have generally their prescribed term of years. The horse lives tweutv-five years; the hog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the Guinea pig six or seven. They number all their proportion to the time the animal takes to grow to its full size. But man, of all uniinals, is one that seldom comes to the average. lie ought to live a hundred years, according to this phy siological law, for five times twenty nre one hundred; but instead of that,he scarcely reach es an average of two times the growing period. The reason is obvious—man is not only tho most irregular and tho most intemperate, but the most laborious and hard worked of nil an imals, and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell what an animal scarcely feels, that, more than any other animal, man elior inliOci wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself in the fire of his owa reflection. erTherc is one umbrella in the army* of the 1 Potomac, the gift of a little girl to her broth'sr, who is a private, to protect him from exposure !on the long marches. It is a subject of much j mirth among the soldiers. Rates of 3ltorrti4iti§. One Squfi>, three wreklor less. . . .u.

The Little Reign of Terror. An Historical Ileminitcence. During the administration of John Adam occurred what was then called the "Reign o Terror," but which may now- be called the " lit '/e Reign of terror," in comparison to w-ha we have experienced and are still doomed t witness under the warlike administration o. Abraham Lincoln. An attack was then mad by the mob on the newspaper press; but onl three out of ail the papers published in th country were actually threatened with violence viz: the Philadelphia Au.oru, edited by Wit RJAM DI ANE: a democratic PAPER in Reading edited by JOHN SNYDER: and the Trenton True American, edited by JAMES JEFFERSON WIL SON. We know that the "hfllt Reign of Terror" did not last long, and that Jetferson was tri umpliantly elected over his Federal rival as soon as the people had a chance to express th*ir ab horrence of the Reign of Terror, and of the A licn and Sedition Laws' at the ballot-box. Can the great Reign of Terror, in which every press of the country is threatened w'.'b destruction or confiscation, and the editors with the dun geon and court martinis, have any other se quel f "THE RIBBONED OX."—Tin- N. Y. World says that at the recent J>engue meeting in that city, the speakers were put into one of the parlors of the Everett House, and as their names were called they came forward; a badge of gaudy ribbons was pinned on their breasts, and they wore marched with an escort of officers of the society to the stand designated for them. As Daniel S. Dickinson was thus passing through the crowd, with his ribbons flutt. ing, it must have brought vividly to his mind the following passage from a speech delivered by liira a' few years since: Do you know, my Democratic friends, how the Republicans serve the Democrats who go over to them. I will tell you how. They serve them as the New York butcher serves his fat ox. He pats gaily colored ribbons 011 his horns and marches him through the streets as specta cle to he stared at, and then—last scene of all —he drives him to the slaughter pen. This is the way Republicans serve Democrats who arc flattered Rnd cajoled by thoin into an abandon ment of their principles. It is not every man that is so signally privil eged to be his own prophet.
