Harrisburg Correspondence. v ■ - „ Harrisburg, Feb. 11. \|' ■ • ■ Mr, Editor: Since I last wrote you the Legislature of Pennsylvania has passed upon the most important ques tion over brought before tnatabbdy—- the' abolition! of elaveiw throughout the United States,' No sooner did tbb telegraph flash"the intelligence that the proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution bad received the | requisite two-;thirds vote in Congress, than ".resolutions of ratification were introduced into- both branches of the Assembly. It was the hope and belief gf the" .Republican members that the Democrats, if! they did not sustain the Amendments, would at least allow the majority to, pronounce at once that decision which thoyfknew to be inev itable, and so place; Pennsylvania at the head of the ratifying States.., They, were! mistaken. Not only did the De mocracy vote in solid phalanx against the resolutions, but with a refrdetive ness unexpected they, resisted the sus pension of the rules (that the question might bo disposed of at once. ' A bill or 1 resolution must lie over at least pne day alter its introduction beipro — a * pussagd, unless taken up by a two thirds vote, which;- was :bcyo,ud the strength of the . Union members of either branch. - 1 ; j The Record will inform you of 'what trainspired tn the, Senate; I 1 can speak from' observation only of the contest in the House.. Both parties came there with the understanding that the vote was to be taken without debate. The door'to discussion, however; was opened by Mr. Brown of Warren,,one of the ablest members, who ! read a brief but carefully prepared and elo quent argument, upon the right aide. He was followed by others. The Democrats began assign Reasons for their opposition, professing hostil ity todSlavery, but insisting that the adoption of the Auiiendinents would retard the conclusion of hostilities and a speedy peace, 'the debate dragged for a time, until .McClure was arous ed-'by some bold assertion on the other ; e vi denuy * purely extemporaneous was,one 61 the.most splendid pieces of oratory to which youc cofrespondonthas over listened. It was a bold and bitter attack upouthe' De mocratic party for its subserviency to the Slave Power, its complicity with ita!. former outrages upon the nation, and its sympathy with it in its pres ent dying struggle. I; do no,t knpw, nor I piesume does any one of bis au ditory, what waHjfho limb occupied in iIS d«livcry;-it held the House in rapt atierilion until the last words fell from his lips. Then there was a spontane ous'burst of applause from the Repub lican side, ;Buch as perhaps was better suited to the liobnse of ! a ; political .meeting than to the dignity of a legis lative body, and his friends-thronged to bis seat to congratulate him upon his success. The Democracy pf course couldnht permit this cannonade along their whole line to pass wftlioulreply. Pershing, of Cambria, waa-their prin cipal spokesman. | He is* a courteous gentleman, a good speaker and Iqgical rCasoner, and made perhaps as good an argument asJ could ho made in a bad cause. He took the offensive at once, *nd devoted himself mainly to attacks upon the Republican party whore it is perhaps somewhat vulner able on account of the misdeeds and short, comings of some of the subordi nates of the present administration.—. [There were remarks by other gentle men upon either side, many: of them eloquent and appropriate. At an ad journed session, Mr. .Kelly,'of Wajsh- Ington, spoke ably in support of-the Amendments. Alexander, of Centre, upon the part of the opposition,, took the bull boldly by the horn B , assign ing, amongst other reasons for nis vote, the curse of Canaan, his belief in the inferiority of the African to the CaucaFsian race, arid that Nature had designed the former to hvu in subjec tion to the latter. The following is his creed upon these .points, literally copied from hisjremarks| as printed in the Record; f ' “Fifth: I beliive that the African race .in this ! country are unfit to v Exchange of Prisoners, occupy any other ala tus in the organ - .
