SATE - THE UNION We fear the domestic evils that now distract our country are giving cause for joy to all the enemies of rational freedom in the world. The time was when a voice for disunion would have almost endangered thelife - of ihim who' uttered sit ; aft all overi ts, his - pelfitical influence , would harabeen4otally lost. Now, thousands of voices, North and South. speak of It as a probability, end not a few :ussomething to be de iitred. Su& parties have certainly knOt - ealculated the inestimable advan• tagee derived from this United States, nor the years, perhaps the ages of horrors that would follow its dissolu-. tion. It may he considered certain, that dissolution and civil aver would . go, or rather come, 'together. Can any mortal man foresee the day when any compensation would be rendered to any parties, North or South, victorious or conquered, for the evils that would be established ? When the North and South draw lines upon distinctive political plat forms, will the animosities be tween neighboring States strongly prejudiced agaiinst each other, with out any common centre of onthority, without un.y common and supreme juakiarr, without any common legis lative body, be less than they are with conservative influences i n full op *ration ? No sound man can believe it. Aggression and retribution would bo infinitely multiplied; both parties would have to *sp upgreat standing armies harrassing each - ether in war, and exhausting and exasperating their own peaple in peace. "Who the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." Perhaps it were better to say; God destroys those who, of their own will, become mad. There is no real difficulty in the way of our national amity. If slavery be a crime let him who thinks so keep his .hands free from it ; let 'him say before . God and man that be will have no part in it, If a slave-owner, let him emaneipato his bond-people, and bid them go and prosper; his saeri flee for conscience sake would bring upon him and his the benedictions of heaven. We say, perhaps, for ,it is even possible that, he might be tieing a wrong. Circumstances might make it such. In Virginia there is a law that no man shall free a slave after the age of forty.five•years. This is a humane law, and, we believe,n Condi tional one. It is obviens Why it is a humane provision, that a Master can net unconditionally free a slave in his declining yeses. The slave of forty. five in the South is approaching the age when he becomes a pensioner,— There are thousands of elderly negro men and women in the South who do 1 ' no hard labor, and many no labor at all, for their masters, and yet who ex peot and recelve from them adequate support. These poor creatures would owe little gratitude to their masters to free them for an old age of drudg ery, ending perhaps in destitution, or absolute starvation. Without law, a bad master .might free his slaves under couditions that would induce a good master to hold them for their own advantage. The slavoholdeir and the non-slave holder have, •reepectivelly, under our teXisting , eenstitution, liberty of con iseienee and liberty of Rouen, but neither has any right of aggression. This simple reflection is enough to heep the peace among us forever.— 'The South does not ask of the North to approve of slavery, does not even ask any of her own denizens to ap• prove of it. Every man who has traveled through the South has heard the free expression of southern senti ment in regard to slavery. It is gen erally spoken of as an inherited evil, not a crime, however, that must bo borne until such time as the people concerned can manage without vio lence, or shock, to rid themselves of it. This sentiment may be in, ahey ranee during the present excitement, 'but it exists, nevertheless, and in the ,end, if not thwarted by outside inter -Meddling or violence, will do more to solve a most dif f icult problem, than can poisibly be effected by exterior influences. The raving violence of the North is most injurious to all the interests and hopes of the slave. It makes the law more stringent against him; it makes the master more se were. The South will neither be dri. wen or led in this matter ;• she will judge and act for horsier, be the issue what it may. We are not speaking as partisans, but as observers. It is evident to. us that outside pressure can do nothing for the slave, but that it can, and does, do much against It is madness, or worse than mad ness, for outsiders to attempt to put down the institution of slavery in the Southern States. As well said by a distinguished son of Massachusetts at a late great Union meeting in Boston, none of the agitators in any quarter bays) suggested any rational disposi :ton. of' the slave question. They love not looked beyond the immedi (itenzt of releasing the slave, per fat letThit, from bondage. What would b l ie t e four-millions of free. 40164111 1 5,1d5Ci2114414.7.

Would they become industrious, meritorious citi zens, or would they go to swell the ranks of paupers and the thriftless and vicious classes getting already too numerous .over the land ? What would become of the cotton and su gar interests ? Are the free negroes as a body in this country and in the West ? Indies, in a better condition than 'the slaves as a body ? • . These are questions that-should be well considered, not only by every lover of his conntry; but by those who assume to be eminently the friends of the negroeti. lf these per sons are determined to effect tiho aboli tion of slavery, or the dissolution of the Union, they, with 'all their indif ference to the means, should look to the end. If the Unicn is dissolved, slavery will not thereby be abolished, but the finest country. in. the. world may "bid a long farewell to all great ness." What a day of rejoiding ;for tyrants . ' "Quos Del vat persiere, Arius fie mentat." Are the; American people now under the Madness that presages destruction ? ;We ;do not believe it. The ravings of flmaticism 'and ultra ism may be beiti'd from all quarters. Are not all the masters spirits in the' Northern States rallying. around the banner of the Union ? Why, . before Northern fanaticism can vent its wrath, in•tleeds, upon the South, it will have' o walk over the dead bodies of the best and the bravest men who dwell within its sectional confines. Of all men, we upon the borders are bound to cling most resolutely to the Union. In Maryland and Vir ginia and Pennsylvania, we cannot raise fratricidal hands agaist each other. We are allied by too many bonds, of business, amity, common interests, and blood, to meet in strife. Others, north and south, would make our fa* fkelds their battle grounds, win who might, we would alwayS be losers. Our cry, before that of all oth er men, must be, THE - UNION FOREV ER ! If fanatics and madmen will cross our bo•rders, with evil intent, bring ing fire and sword under the Union, they would do it to , a . mach greater extent without 'any Union. North, South, rand Middle Grourvd, East and West, are'safer, stronger and happier, under the Thids of th Natiowal flag than any portion could ever be with a Teirrnaut.of it, with half a dozen stars sadly 'replacing our present glo rious galaxy. The peace can be kept better with the Union than without it, so let us one and of all adhere to it FOREVER.—Cath6lic Mirror. CONGRESS. A Speaker almost Elected I On Friday last the House came within three votes of an organization, by the election of Mr. William N. H. Smith, of North Carolina, to the SpeakershiP. Mr. Smith is an old line Whig'and was supported by the Democrats, and South Americans.--:-- But for Messrs. Morris ; Scranton and Dunkin of the Pennsylvania delega. tion charging their votes from Mr. Smith, whom they had previously supported, the :House would now be organized by the election of a nation• al man as Speaker; and these changes were made at a time when an elec tion was manifest-140e to prevent the election. :The session, was one of great ,excitement and finally the an nouncement was as follows ; of the THIRTY EIGUTII Whole number of votes, " • 228 Necessuty tea choice, ' 115 Mr. Sherman, • 106 Mt. Smith, 112 Mr. Corwin, 4 Seettering„ 6 The Republican thus being terribly frightened resisted another ballot, and secured an adjournment to Monday. In the mean time they held a caucus and, probably dropped Sherman and concentratedtheir forces on Corwin of Ohio, or Pennington of New Jor soy. The result of the ballot on Friday made it apparent that but for the ac tion of a portion of the Pennsylvania delegation, an organization might have been effected by placing a high. toned and eminently National Old Line Whig of the Old North State in the chair as Speaker. Mr. Morris, Mr. Scranton, and others of their col leagues from Pennsylvania, 'had on prior Lianas .voted fOr Mr: Smith, and elailned to rank as National men in consequence. Tliey,, voted for him again on Friday, and their votes re mained so recorded until it became manifest that he waS, to be made the presiding officer of the House, when tiey withdrew from him, changing their votes and defeating an organisation. The proceeding demonstrates the power of Black Republicanism over these pretendedfrieuds of the Union. They are sectionalists, and only dare pretend to nationally when such pre tension shall not endanger the suc• cm of treasonable designs. The Pennsylvanian says that the greatest excitement prevailed in Phil • adelphia upon the announcement of the result of the ballot, that the old• line Whigs, the constituents of Mr. Morris, were indignant at the course of himself and his colleagues. It ev• idenees that the whole delegation, no matter what their pretentious may be, are bound band and foot to the Black Republicans. The responsibility fbr this act can not be evaded.

They, and they alone, by positive act, have prevented an organization of the House. We hold them to the record. They be trayed their constituencies. , . . , THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS • NO CHOICE OE CANDIDATE. WASHINGTON, Jan 28.—A caucus of the Republican members of the House of Representatives was held at the Capitol at noon to day, but after sev eral hours' deliberation, no result was attained. Many. of the members came away before the adjournment, leafing the others to discuss;in brief speeches, the subject of a Speaker ship. In consequence of this non agreement, the Republicans will go into the House on Monday vtithout any .particular candidate or agree meat, as on the 'first day of the ses sion. There wereone hundred and eleven members present at the caucus. Mr. Sherman proposed to wittediraw phisname as candidate for Speaker, expressing the hope that his friends would consent to cast their .Totes in another direction. • No questiOn was taken on receiving hia dedenaion:- It is represented that the diseuS sion was marked with much and •ettrnestness. About nine-tenths of the 'limbers expressed their intention to support Hon. Wm. Pennington, Representa tive f , 'oni NeW Jersey, for Speaker, while the others remained siient.- 7 - Those in favor of Mr. Pennington, rely on the votes of Messrs.. Adrain and Riggs, of New Jersey, and Rey nolds, of New York, which, accord ing to their calculatien, united with those who have supported Mr. Sher man, will give the Republican :party precisely half of the RouSe. WastunoTox, Jan, 29.—There have been many private conferences to•day among the members of the different parties, with the view 'of perfection the 'airangernerit for in•nrorrow regarding 'the choice of Speaker. The iprospect is that if the Republi cans unite All fur Sherman on Mr. Pen nington, I-bat he wail •receive seveial ac cessions 'from the ant'i•'Lecompton Dern• octets, including. Messrs. Adrian of New Jersey, nolmen and Davis of In diana, and Allen of Ohio. The three dissenting Western Democrats have trot yet yielded to the persuasions uif t'hei'r friends to vote for Mr. Smith of North Carolina, nor is it probable that they will, according to what is believed to be reliable information. Since Friday, some gentlemen have been making special investigation into the political antecedents of Mr. Smith, with aesign of damagiNg his position as a candidate for Speaker- There is no data for an assertion as to the result of the eenteit, further than that is promises to lie decided within ►he present week, and probably to•int,n row.
