The London correspondent of the Tribune gives the following 1 enclose for the benefit of the Southern press in general, and especially of Gov., Hammond, the following extract : front the "Fpeech of Abautavielf, Governoi. of Nishni- Novgorod, at the ?meeting of the Commission' for discussing the emancipation of the serfs held at No'vgorod on the fld inst: • " Gentlemen, imbue yourb:alves with the spirit of your mission. He who , holds in His hand the hearts of kings has called you to accomplish a mighty work, to give Free dom to those whosdo not possess it. And if such be yor.mission, think on the greatness of the part that Providence has assigned you here below. Pe not unworthy of it; do not prefer your own material interests to' the wel fare of these millions bt human beings whom their lot has made dependent upon you.-- Moral-interests take precedence of material ones, and you ought to prove it by your acts. I said moral 'interests) yes, gentlem . en, the solution of the questton- now occupying us will assuredly raise us to a higher- deyree ,of moral civilization ; it Will enhance the luster and exalt the moral dignity of tV clads Calk ed to fulfil! this work with a sell denial bas ed on the consciousnestf-nf human rights. "Among the people whose - material' exis twice we have to secure, there is many an individual who, contented- with his present position„desires no other. Glory and honor. to the owners of such individuals. But their happiness is merely fortu itous . , Now, gen tlemen, yOu are called to substitute certainty for-chance, and to remove from the adminis tration which relates ,to an - entire class ,of persons everything of an arbitrary character. But-success will not be-obtained -in thin so tong as tee rontinue'to so in a man a re prodvtive power similar , to'lhat of imim is 1 in general; we shall only obtain succe ss resew:Mating, or rather byrestoriny, the WO MAN DIGNITY 10h ich had been ea crifleed, and by.: invoking the assistance offree labor. It will be only then that an intelligent and equitable appeal, unaccompanied by any arbitrary re quirement, will reawaken the liVini strength of the nation, and will infuse life into all that now appears to us to belcad. " Do not separate, then, from -your- mate rial calculations-the respect\due to, the rights of man ; render to man that which belongs . to man, and you will justify the confidence of the Sovereign and the hope td - the nation: I may say more—iim will deserve the ad miration of the whole world, whoie eyes are fixed upon you at this moment. Your work will win for 3 on the blessings of the Omnip otent and those of collective humanity, while history will rank you anrosg the promoters of justice, among those who - lose their neigh bors, and will name yo' as the f Raiders of your count-y's prosperity." The Lecomptou outrage has been - a God-send to the country, a s s it is bringing the people to repentance, which is the only true road to Heaven. The muse of Mr. Buchanan reminds us of an appropriate peti tion once offered up in Ohio. In a' certain village there resided an old man and his four sons, all of whom were " hiird bricks," who had often laughed to scorn the advice and en treaties of a pious though very eccentric minister who resided in the same town. It happened that one of the boys was bitten by a rattlesnake and was expected to die, when the minister was sent for in great haste. On his arrival he found the . young man very penitent and anxious to be ,prayed with.— The minister, calling-on the family, kneeled down and prayed in this Wise "Oh Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes; we thank thee because a rattlesnake has bit Jim. We pray thee send a rattlesnake to bite John ; send one to bite Bill ; send one to bite Sam; and, 0 Lord, send the biggest-kind of it rat tlesnake to bite-the old man; for nothing but rattlesnakes*ill,ever bring the Beaver family to repentance !" James Buchanan is the political. tattle snake which an all-wise providence has placed in the'Piesidential chair, to bite the people into rebellion against Presidential dictation. We' would now pray : "Oh Lord we thank thee for sending that rattlesnakeive thank thee that he: has . bit, Douglas, and 'Crittenden, and Walker, and Wise, and Bell, and Stanton; and. hosts of others. W pray thee send e rattlesnake to bite Our neighbor the,Post .Master, whose sur name is Henry. Let him bite Lucius and Zadock, and all their dimghface Lecomp ton neighbors. And we pray . thee to :send a whole nest of rattlesnakes to bite Ditikin-. son, Van Buren, Seymour and Co., and 'turn them, to repentance.
