The Demagogues and the Union Scutt.
Want.
Notwithstanding the tarbulentinid threaten?,
ing aspect of affairs fu '`the Conifiehul of the
United States, weiAtive no flabt that the
American Union is itrenglit to.igy than it has
been since the - tido:TU(6 Of- the Federal:lon
stitution. The Harper's Ferry tragedy—iana
tio in its conception, bloody in its intermedi
ate catastrophe, and full of melancholy and
truthful admonition at its close—will be pro
dn'etiVe Ott Were than' onegood result. It has
awakened; in all its 'majesty, the irresistible
affection of the American people for the Union
of 'these 'States, and while it has enabled a
sail' band of 'deflated men in either section
'---the:oriti to demand secession as a remedy for
, , ,
the' real or linaginary dangers of the South,
and the other to inset upon thodeifleation of
the leader of the late invasion—it has brought
together patriotic men of all parties upon the
common ground.of devotion to the harmony
and to the rights of the members of. the Con
federacy.
This `concentration of sentiment and of
actiintis the real rock upon which our free in
atitutions may be said securely to rest. In
Bach •an , hour the voice of a Southern extre
mist in Congress, (who, because the people of
MS .region may justly' complain of inju
ries inflicted by a small , body of men upon
a Jortion of their territory, sets np a claim
for oftensire atid'unnecessary legislation,) will
be regarded as the ravings 'of a maniac, and
will be 'tie, little imeded by the great body of
our conntiymen as tho cry of those who ful
minate their denunciations against the Consti
tution frem,another quarter of the Union.
Tho agitation produced in the House of
Representatives in regard to the Helper book
belongs' particularly to this class of expedi
entri. , That many of the sentiments of that
volume are objectionable, no reflecting man
can doubt; but it .seems to us that those who
are 'so , fond of criticising •it, and of holding
its endorsers, responsible for its doctrines,
should look to their oten record, and inquire
how Ikr the' argument which they employ, to
damage ilifete endorsers Way be turned against
themselves. It'ls only a few months ago since
Kr. Jona; Levan was elected Governor of
Virginia, in the face of the fact that not many
years' before, he. had recommended the Pro•
dectiou of a citizen of that State—Dr. RUY
nrt--in '
which the people of Virginia were
called upon to take means /for the abolition of
slavery, in thai State: Hero was' a double ap
peal from a Southern citizen on a subject
nearest, to the hearts of the people of the
South—an appeal alike, to the enemies of
slavery in Virginia, and an appeal 'to the
Abolition sentiment. Mr. LETCHEA attended
the , lectures of Dr. Riterut, participated in a
V debate 10 support of ' the doctrines of his
pamphlet, and afterwards enrolled his name,
among 'other Virginians, for the purpoie of
raising a fund in order to give it a wider cir
culation, The argunient thus sanctioned by
Joint LITOEIHR was an adroit invocation
against the institution of slavery, morally, so
cially, and politically. When the name of
Lwronsa was presented as a caudidate for
governor of the Old Dominion, HELPIIIB.'S odi
one bookhad been previously denouncid in the
lenate of the 'United States, and had led to a
Persdral difficulty on the floor of the House
of Representatives, between a Southern mem
ber and its author. It hitd been largely adver
qsed in the Northern papers, and the circu
lars paraded over thirnamea now so vehement
ly denounced-by Southern members of Con
pear had been forwarded through the mails
to all Parts of the'Union.
, ,
Under these circumstances, It was 'not
surprising that, in the ranks of the Demo
zmtle party, Mr. Levine-a was held up as de
liberately responsible for the doctrines con
tained in Dr. RVIIFTII'S pamphlet. Mr. Wise
Ind his friends, through the columns of the
Richmond Enquirer, earnestly and constantly,
resisted his nomination. They represented
Sim .as the author of incendiary doctrines.
,'hey published -.extracts from the argument
which he had , approved, and declared that his
lamination would be succeeded by a defeat at
the petit; and that if ho should be sustained by
in election, the enemies of Southern institu
,
dons would lea armed with an almost It-re
didliale weapon. But, in spite of this resist-
Mee, ad bathe face of the fact that alatimber
)f Democrats put upon record their deter•
-
mination never to votelor Joax LETCHIER, on
meant of the pamphlet in question r -ho.
was nominated as the candidate for Go
' verner ; and then precisely the same argu
ments used Jo' prevent his, •nomination by
Democratic journals, were caught up by the
-American ,oppoaltion, headed by tlte Rich
mond Whig, to prevent his election. Mr.
Galant, the American candidate for Governor,
toe); distinct !sae with Mr. Larrenzit in re
gelato this very pamphlet, and from 'one end
of the State to the other it was made the pare
inount question. Mr. Boooox, the I present
Administration candidate , for Speaker of the
House of Representatives, (who is no doubt'
gravely alarmed at the doctrines of the Help
er book,) was ono of the advocates , of Joins
GIGTOtIEa, the endorser of the Ruffin pam
phlet, and, wo think, labored alike for his
°tabu/Alen and his election, certainly for
the latter. 'Mr. Parroa, the young, bril
liant, and• accomplished Representative from
the F!otersburg (Va.) district, was, in fact, the
leader of the Letcher party in the Democra
tic Convention in the State of Virginia; and
when, LETOIEER was nominated, it was every
where hailed as an extraordinary triumph of
that impetuous and gifted orator. Thus the
t issue was broadly presented to the people of
the Old Dominion, and, after en animated can
vass, JOHN LETOIIBIi was elected by a decisive
majority. , ,
It • will be answered that Mr. Lerman re.
called his endorsement of the Ruffin pamph.
let, explained the manner in which he came
resign the letter, to, its author, and tho part
which he took to raise a subscription to insure
its wide circulation among the people. But
this; explanation was so far from being satis
factory to hie enemies in the Democratic
party, that it was laughed at all over the
State • and yet these very men were after
wards among his most ardent supporters at
the, polls. But has not Joins Suzan/at him
self, in almost 'the same language employed
by Joint Liman in regard to the Ruffin
pamphlet, disavowed all participation in the.
objectionable sentiments of the Helper book 1
-a book written, as Hon. E. Joy Idesmis has
shown, by a Southern citizen. It is significant
that among the moat intolerant of these who as.
sail Air. SidaMAS on account of his alleged
endorsement of the Helper book, ate the very
gentlemen who so gladly forgave M. LETCHEII
(a Virginian) for the part he took n assisting
to disseminate doctrines scarcely less odious
to the - sentiments of that State than those
contained in the volume referred to, and so
industriously adVertised by the orators on the
extreme Southern side in the Amfirican Con
gress. Their eonduct in,regard to Lemma
contrasts so strikingly with that Which now
animates them in regard. to Saunas, that it
is easy to perceive that the motive which in
spires them 'is of a purely partisan character.
We have said, at the beginning of this and
el°, that the Ilarpers Terry tragedy and its
resulting excitement, while enabling violent
men in both, sections of the Union to feed the
fires of fanaticism, will reawaken and reunite
the conservative sentiment, as we believe it
will make it the interest and the ditty of every
party to liberalize and to nationalize itself.
But this great end 'is net to be achieved by
allowing extreme men to speak for the two
divisions, North and South. It is not to be
acootriplished by the, attempt to' show that
the people of the South are anxious to se
cede from the Union, and by the attempt, on
the Other hand, to show that a large portion of
the people of the North are responsible for the
late bloodshed on'the borders of Virginia.

When .Tome .
Baowar fell, nine :mot out of
ten in the free States believed that he had
provoked his doom, and howevir much they
may have regretted the necessity of his execu
tion; they could not but make all due allowance
for the re.senttnent which fired and filled the
Southern 'mind. It is an easy% and a cheap
thing to locate the responsibility of a great na
tional 'calamity upon a few Individuals. Tho

duce nothing but ill bleed.. Utiniands for im
possiblO or otfenelve legislation will only
isisken resistance: Denunciations of men
AO claim to be devoted to;the rights of the
,States, whilst entertaining, their peculiar
opinions on the slavery question, will only
gather 'around them the pedpfe who send them
to Congress. Tho South itself will not sympa
thize with these tactics.
One of the moat discreditable aspects of
I present polities is the attempt of the Adminis
tration of Mr. Bvou&NAN to seize upon the ex
isting Union feeling and to appropriate it to its
qwn base uses. If the course of the Washing
ton Constitution—now being conducted under
the 'immediate eye of the President—were
carried out by Congress and the country, it
would e.onvert the city of Washington into a
garrison, and would prevent the entrance into
the Federal capital of any Northern citizen.
The conservative demonstrations in the great
cities of Philadelphia, Boston, and Now York
have already been claimed by the Administra
tion as so many endorsements of thO scandal
ous Territorial policy of Mr. BUOUANAN and
his Cabinet. That in this city has been con
strued to mean neither more nor less, and the
patriotic Citizens who inaugurated and con
ducted it have been insulted by being made to
figure as incense-hearers to ono of the most
odious oligarchies that ever existed in history.
Now, it is almost beyond dispute that, whatever
the opinions of the Southern people may be in
regard to the Ilarpees Ferry affair, there is
only a small minority in that part of the Union
that does not unite in execration of the Gene
ral Administration, while in the non-slavehold
ing States the sentiment-Outside of the office
holders—may be said to be universally in the
same direction. All intelligent men have
come to the conclusion that if the country
shall be plunged into difficulty on the slavery
question, the original guilt, and the shame of
such an evil, will attach to the skirts of JAMES
BUOEANAN. If the Republican party is re
sponsible, he is ten times more responsible.
If WILLSAM H. SMARR is entitled to censure
for the statement of his doctrine of the cc irre
pressible conflict" between the free and the
slave States, then the President of the United
States has earned for himself an immortality
of infamy in attemring to degrade the Demo
cratic party of the Union into a mere echo, and
a dependent of a few secessionists in the South.
The idea that such men as EDWARD EVERETT,
Of liassachusettl, DANIEL LORD, of Now
York, and JOBRPA R. Tsozasopp, of Pennsyl
vania, while lifting up their hands and voices
against fanaticism, are willing to subscribe to
an indiscriminate attack upon a large body of
patriotic citizens in the free States, and to ap
plaud and approve the Administration of
J'AUES BIIOUANAN t under the popular cry of
devotion to the American Union, is as gross
an insult to those distinguished statesmen as
it is'a wanton depreciation of the glorious ob
ject they have in view. No influence in fifty
years has done so mush to impair the sent!.
client that ccThe Union must and siren be
preserved" as that now controlling the Fede
ral Administration; and its attempt to appro
priate the existing Union feeling to its own
uses may well no 04E4 E 1 among the political
phenomena of the day.

Public Amusements:
The Vespers of Palermo, repeated last night, for
the last time, drew another great house. We
are not surprised. Here is ono of tho latest of
Verdi's operas, in whloh he has made his second
and bettor style significantly apparent. here was
a mire en scene actually unequalled in accuracy,
splendor, and effect. here, also, was a oombina
tion of four fine voloes—soprano, tenor, baritone,
and basso—iniColson, Brignoli, Perri, and Janos.
No wonder that crowds availed themselves of this
opportunity of hearing, for the last time, this sea
son, such an opera, so performed. Above all, no
wonder that they desired to hear Colson—whole
comeliness, as "a thing of beauty, is a joy for
ever," and who, beyond all doubt, is by far the
finest female singer who has ever appeared In our
Academy of linsic.
This evening, the performances will be of the
combination or variorum order, the whole of .one
opera and an cot of two others. The first act of
"La Traviata" wiLl commence the evening's per
with Madame Colson as V toletta, Sig
nor Brignoli as .Alfredo, and Signor Amodio as
Germonr. Everybody knows that, according to
the story written by Alexandre Dumas, file, the
Lady of the Onmelias, who is La Traviata in the
opera, ought to be young and handsome. We have
had her represented, on these very boards, by, a
middle-aged and well-looking prima donna, so
the change to such a graceful, beautiful Violetta
as Madame Colson will be a change indeed. The
whole of "Lucia di Lammermoor" will follow,
with the now tenor and new baritone, ne Edgardo
and Ashton, and Signorina Adelina Patti as Lu
cia. This young lady is certainly the greatest vo
cal phenomenon we have ever heard ; a perfect
musician and a thorough singer, with a 840 voice,
and rare art of execution.
We are not so enthusiastic In our admiration as
to say that she is capable, at her early age, of at
once taking the place vacated by the death of
Sontag and Bodo, but, we do think that the is a
midi better singer, with a for finer voloo, than
Malibran Garage was at the same age. In a few.
years, when she shall have been half a dozen times
In love—when she shall have experienced some of
the other emotions of life, and when her ph.yeigve
shall have been strengthened by advancing ma
turity, it Is diffioult to say what Patti may not be.
As it Is, she is a wonderful child, full of promise,
and full of genies, also—if, which we often doubt,
genius be required in a singer. The first act of
"Pollute," which was produeed hero on Monday,
will conclude the rather extensive programme of
this evening.
Mrs. John Wood is drawing immense houses at
Aroh-street Theatre, where she bad a bumper
benefit last night. This lady has considerable
arohnase, vivacity, and adaptability. We should
fancy her the very Qiieen of soubrettes. She bus
a pretty voles, too, and an excellent method of
using It. Without any pretensions to be con
sidered a great comedienne or a prima donna,
Mrs. Wood is an attractive actress and vocalist.
She crowds Aroh-street Theatre every evening,
and Wheatley h Clarke may calculate on her con
tinuing to do so as much longer as they please. 111
Mrs. Barney Williams and her husband continue
at Walnut-street Theatre, playing to the tallest of
full houses, so to say. We have no ambition to
venture into the crush In order to witness the per
flamencos, most of which we have seen before.
Snob an "Irish Boy" and-" Yankee Gal" as Bar
ney and his wife, are not to be Mind In Ireland or
New England. They are caricatures of the broad
set °hunter, with a faint resemblance to reality.
But they are exoessively amusing, and wo are
compelled to laugh at them; hence, crowds flock to
the theatre when they piny, and wo know no
pleasanter sight than a very crowded house.

Correspondence sr The Freud ,
WAitimeTbrr, Deo. 9
This morning the disunion arid "impending ed.
eta" question has disappeared under the crowding
exigencies of the personal matter growing out of
Ctreeley's slur on Kellogg, of Illinois, and the reply
of the hitter charging the editor of the Tribune
with supporting Douglas, and other misdemeanors.
Greeley has denied the charges and inainuutions of
Kellogg, and Moßlernand drew attention to that
foot; the result of which has been that the Illinois
tuemberh have 000upied the morning. Kellogg said
he wonid prove his oharge when ho felt it necessary.
This brought out Logan, elm of Illinois, who made
a moat erithisiastio speech in honor of Judge Don
glee, and showing that all ,through, his career
Greeley bad boon opposed to him ; opposed to him
when he was battling with the Whigs of Illinois;
opposed to him when fighting the Republioans and
the Mulles ; opposed to him at all times and on
every °melon. The charge was made to in.
Jura Douglas in the South. Logan continued
in a very warm strain to condemn the
course of his colleague, and said, in illustration of
ono of hie allusions to him, that he (Mr. L.) would
not like his colleague, (Mr. Kellogg,) "slink
like a Spaniel," upon which Kellogg moved towards
Logan with evident hostile intent. He had al•
most reached him, when there was a general rush
of members to prevent an encounter. The Demo
crats in a thick group surrounded Logan, and
Koitt and other gentlemen in a friendly way took
Mr. Kellogg away. It was pleasant and significant
if the fundamental good feeling between the legis
lators to see ultra Southernism rioting as the friend
of ultra Northerniam, and vice versa.
When order was restored, Mr. Mlles Taylor,
of Louisiana, briefly addressed the Douro
on the . neoeseity of stopping this dissuasion
on a purely personal matter, and which had no
oonneetion' t whatever with the actual business of
the Homo. Ho hoped the Representatives would
continue the election of Speaker, so that they might
have the proper officer to keep order. Logan
would not give up his right to speak. All order
was lost; everybody spoke at onto. Several men,•
bora moved to clear the galleries, and several
other members charged the disorder on the
which by cheering end hissing had given the ex.
ample to the galleries,
The latter now freely participated in the doings
of the House, hissing those who proposed to gag
their mouths or pinion their hands and feet, and
oheering lustily those who took their part. Mr.
Burnett, of Kentneky, said that the evil example of
expressing opinions thus, which had done so mush
to incite bitter feelings, since Monday last, was
given by the Republiaan side of the House.
Several attempts were made to induce Mr. Lc.
gin to yield the floor. Re withstood them ell,
'and, after much excitement, continued in denun
ciation of the statements made by Kellogg, the
letter all the while. sitting with resigned stolidity
to the torrent he bad inspired. Logan was proud
to bo a Douglas man from Illinois, and declared
that Douglas was the choice and representative
man of the Northwest.
A very spirited papsago I,polc place between Jobn
B. llaskin and Mr. Logan. The latter, in reply
to the former, declared that he would go for the
nominee of the Charleston Convention under any
oircumetanom Even if the Convention adopted a
platform inooplistent with the popular sovereignty
doctrines as enunciated py Douglas in hie
paper in jfarper's Magasine, and andorsing the
°aurae of the present Administration, ho will sup
port It. Re Bald he was neither a Leeempton nor
an anti-Lecompton Democrat, but Amply a Demo
crat, and ho believed the Democratic party could
do no wrong.
Ilask;n was then interrogated, and came
dietinctly out in perpiptanl opposition, under all
casco, to tbo Administration, and Bail be would
vote for a Republican Speaker, If that party came
nearer to his 'views and doetrines than those who
abided by the leadership of the Administration.
He was an independent Representative. nig con
stituents had endorecal hie inane. He had no col
lar round his nook, and would app Independently.
Ho reminded the Homo that tSii Republimns ir.
the last Oongrers Wood glprionely by those who
were fighting the battle spinet Imompton rot,
ruptione. They had, too, thrown over their anti-
quated notions when they voted for the .admlulon
of Kansas under the Crittenden-Montgomery
bill, and ho would rather take one from their
ranks now, than yoto for a man or a party who bad
voted for fraud and infamy; and the eztravaganoe
of a corrupt Administration.
This created quite a sensatlen. and the House
immediately went into the third ballot, at whleh
leave •
them. SUL RIOLIIID!).

XXXVITII CONGRESS.--FIRST SESSION
U. B. CAPITOL, Wasnuearcer, Deo. 9.
Tho Senate fa not in eoselon today, having ad
journed over till Monday.
ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Morons, of Illinois, rising to a privileged
question, caused v. be read from the oftiolal report
the remark of Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, that two
years ago Mr. Greeley was planning and schem
ing with Mr. I:Muerte in the parlor of the latter,
to re-elect him to the Senate by selling out the poli
ties of Illinois. Mr. Morrie also caused to be read
Mr. Greelev's publication denying the truth of the
charge, and while detesting the Douglas doctrines
admired his pluck.
Mr. Eirta,uoo replied that, but for the foot that
he had been porennally assailed In an infamous ar-
Cole in the Tribune, he would not have said a
word, as he was anxious for the organisation of
the House. De paid that brace Greeley and
Judge Douglas had been put on trial, and he should
hereafter pp:lsere the issue.
Mr. OLDIE, o Missouri, was called out by a re
mark of Mr. Ka !egg, that a report had prevailed
that according to an arrangement, the Missouri
eenatorehip was to bo given to Mr. Blair. Re be-
Coved this charge against Judge Douglas was n
falsehood, but he did not attach importance to the
statement of Mr. Greeley, whom he believed to be
a thief of character, and unworthy the notice of a
potieman, either in or out of Congress.
Mr. KKGLOOG repeated that as en Wile had been
made, he would meet it fairly. Me disclaimed
having made an attack on Judge Douglas, ho dealt
with Mr. Greeley alone.
Mr. Lortear, of Illinois, said that the charge was
made to injure Judge Douglas, who is the
date for the Presidency of the great Northwest.
An effort wee made to depreciate Judge Douglas In
the estimetion of the South by associating him
with Mr. Greeley. From this time be would never
again notice his colleague, who shirke front the re
sponeibility of bringing forward proofs in support
of his charge. When ha (Mr. Logan) made a
charge In the Legislature of Illinois and was
called for proof, he did not, like a spaniel, slink in
the corner.
OLYODT • YIBUT
At this point Mr. Kellogg, who was sitting near
Mr. Logan, deliberately advanced toward him as
if with a hostile intention•, and Ur. Logan, per
ceiving the movement, put himself in the attitude
of combat. The members at once sprang to the
/mono, some seising Mr. Logan, and others restrain
ing Mr. Kellogg, amid the greatest excitement,
member! all over the hall In agitation.
The Clerk. amid the din and stirring events,
loudly celled for order, and requested gentlemen
to take their seats.
Soon the two Illinois gentlemen were widely
separated.
Mr. Loden, resuming, said ho was rorfectly cool.
Mr. Monate, of Pennsylvania, called for the
Sergeent,at-Arms.
Order woe finally motored.
Mr. Talmon, of Louisiana, laid that the time
for such nroeandinge should cease. [Applause.]
Tho time has arrived when this speoles of diSO , IF•
slim, which could lend to nothing but irritation,
should terminate, and the representatives of the
people should proceed to the election quietly and
with dignity. They should have some competent
pereon to preserve order.
Mr. Lonaw said that ho had yielded the floor
only for a moment. Gentlemen need have no ap
prehension of a difficulty between his colleague and
himself. [Ulnae
Mr. TAYLOR said that the Mouse should fleet he
organised, and then there would bo en opportunity
to discuss all these matting in order.
The interruption just quieted would have termi
nated In a permanent interruption, and perhaps in
an adjournment, if it had not been for the letup.
Bitten of the respective Wends of the gentlemen
from Illinois.
Mr. LOQAN remarked that if he nes to bo blued,
he would merely say ho had as many rights here to
be respected as any one also. !Applause.)
Mr. BARR, of New York, said that the applause
should noose by clearing the galleries.
Mr. GROW ) of Pennsylvania, hoped they would
firsts stop it on the door.
• Mr. ILORENCS, of NIIIIVITARIR, VIM they oould
not expect the applause and hisses in the galleries
to cease so long as the members sot the example.
(Applause in the galleries.
Mr. BARR said the influence of the galleries did
more to irritate the feeling on the floor than the
motion of the members.
- .
Mr. Bottnerr remarked, that when It was charged
that the galleries were responsible, be said that the
example of applause wee set by the Republicans on
the floor. [Applause in the gsllerles.l Ile wanted
the responalbillty to tall where it belonged.
Mr. rARNIWURTR, Of Illinois, did 130 t want this
ball converted into a bear-garden.
Mr. MAINIARD, of Tenziessee, said there could
be no means provided to prevent the applause and
hisses until the presiding other was elected.
Mr. LOGAN then resumed his remarks. De
eulogized the high obaraoter of Senator Dough- s,
and pronounced the charge against him as false In
every reepeot.
Mr. MCOLNIINAXD, of Illinois, produced a letter
from Senator Douglas, who branded the charge as
false. •
Mr. Loam onumiented on the cotton of the Re•
publloan party in Illinois in terms of reprobation.
He alluded to the fact that, in Chicago, a meeting
had-been held sympathizing with John Brown. and
no Republican raided his voice against it. In con.
elusion, he addressed a few remarks to the anti-
Lecomptoo Democrats, urging thou, to act with the
Demooratio party, and let past issues be buried in
oblivion.
• •
Mr. - CLantr, - Of Now York. Will the gentleman
Inform us whether ho approves of the Territorial
policy of the present Administration? -
Mr. Lona:V. I repeat, let poet issues sleep in
oblivion. You know the position taken by Senator
Douglas in Illinois, and you know he was triumph
antly elected. That Is enough.
Mr. CLARK. Will the Demeeratio nominee for
Speaker, if elected, so organize the committees
that Kansas shall bo admitted without restriction
Mr. Loom I never asked him that question.
It never entered into my mind. I have entire rou
t/dune° In the Democratie nominee.
Mr. Hamm; of Now York, inquired whether, in
case the Charleston Convention should adopt a plat
form in opposition to the VlOl - 8 of Senator - Douglas,
as expressed in his essay published iu Harper's
Magasine, and if that Convention endorsed and
approved the conduct of this Administration, as
well with record to its Kansoa policy as all other
matters, he ]Mr. Logan] would support the nominee
of that Convention. ,
Mr. LOGAN replied that he was about twenty
eight years old, and had lived long enough to dis
cover that the Democratic party never does wrong.
[Laughterl. Ho had never known the Democratic
party in National Convention to endorse a plat
form that was not eonsistent with hie views. Hay-
log that confidanoe, ho would not antiolpate what
they might do, but would say he would vote for
the nominee of thnt Convention anyhow. [Expres-
CODS of delight on the .Demooratio aide of the
House).
Mr. lissirix. I will not. I will ask another
question—Dees the gentleman believe that the
Territorial Legislature of Kansas could exclude
slavery or abolish it?
Mr. LOGAN. I profess to be a Demoorat—
neither Lecompton or anti.Leoompton. As I have
I have buried all old party issues, and, ig
noring these issues, I claim to be a Demoorat. I
am for Stephen A. Douglas for President of the
United States, first, last, and for all time. If he
IS riot nominatod, I am for the next ron ; that is,
the man who Is nominated. rApplatreerj
Mr. Hamm asked whether he would Instate the
nominee, if the platform resolved to protect slavery
in the Territories
Mr. LOGAN. Wait till the Domooratio platform
does that, and I will tell rm.
Mr. lIANNIN 'said that at the hot session of Con
gress the Republican members of the Douse put
tlremsolves squarely on an antl-Leoompton plat-
form.
He was in favor of the organization of the House,
and opposed to all this rambling debate. He held
in perfect abhorrence the appeals made to him to
come to the support of those who sustain tho
policy, of this Administration. With refe
rence to the admission of K 813588, he would never
vote for any man firr Spalikor wbq voted for the
Leoompton pulley of the Administration, or who
approves of its corrupt action—its proscription, as
well in Illinois as elsewhere.
Mr. Hama, in reply to a question whether he
would vote for the Republican candidate, said he
would vote for, any gentleman on this side of the
House who entries nacre;; his platform than the
gentleman on the other aide, who yoted for the
Lecompton Constitution. I lay, further, that I will
do nll in my power to prevent the organization of
this House by the election of the Administration
candidate.
Mr. LOQAN said be came here 85 g Demount and
expected to support a Democrat. tie had differed
from childhood with the Republicans, and would
never affiliate with them.
. .
Mr. 'Loma. If the Republican side of the
nous° affiliate with me, I shall be moat happy to
receive their support I came here as an indepen
dent man, with po collar round my neck. If the
Republicans put themselves on the popular sove
reignty doctrines, whigh I believe in, and oppose
the infamous extravaganoe ancid gross corrgption of
this Admintstration '
I would sooner co-operate
with them than with those whogo with the gentle
men of the South in supporting!ft fraudulent Con
efflut ion for the purpose of bringing a slave State
into the Union.
Mr. Frongwou, pt Peprisylvanla, said he would
bike cemision at aOothey tynd pi answer his friend
in regard to the oorruptions of the Administration
of which he had spoken.
Mr. Brat:lox, of Ohio, obtained the goqr, but
was wilting to yield it if Um HOMO desired to pro
coed immediately to the elootion of Speaker, pro
vided ho could subsequently hove the floor.
Mr. Wrsarow, of North Carolina, with that view,

AN INTERESTING AND INPRIESSIVIC r,ICRENIONy
AT READINO.—In the Catholic church of Reading,
on Thursday morning, was witnessed tblot Limit
,heautiful and impressive ceremony of the Church,
the taking of the white veil by a number el young
ladies. An unusual one at all (lines, end rtion
lady so in a town like Beading, it stirs-tad to.
gether in the church of the ltev. Air. linnzer a very
large number of people front the county of barks,
and various other portions of the State The church
was so densely filled (bat it was iltifieult even to
find standing mom. The decorations of the church
wore very tasteful, and beautifully In keeping with
the solemn ceremony that had called the audience
together. The particular order to which these
young ladies wore to devote themselves for life was
that of the Sisters of Mary, one of the most Wen.
sive and influential in the Church.
A few minutes of eleven the young ladies about
taking the veil entered the obureb. They wero
preceded by the mother superior of the order,
several other slaters of the black veil, and a num
ber of children, about six years of ago, dressed In
white. The young ladies were dressed in white
eatin dresses, with crowns of orange blossoms, and
white lace veils suspended over the body, each one
bearing a beautiful bouquet. The costume—a
complete bridal dress—was very much admired,
and set off the personal attractions of the young
devotees most charmingly. They took amts within
the chancel, and immediately in front of the altar.
Among thin clergymen within the chancel we
noticed the Very Rev. Dr. Neuman, Bishop of
Pennsylvania; Rev. 0 J. ii. Carter. of the Church
of the - Assumption, Philadelphia; Rev. William
O'llarra, of the Churoh of St. Patrick, Philadel
phia; Rev. Mr. Hunter, of Reading ; Rey. If.
Monahon, and Rev. J. Monahon. Mr. Jas. O'Reil
ly, of the College of Philadelphia, noted as master
of ceremonies, and assisted the clergymen in the
religions ceremonies.
At eleven o'clock, the serviaes commenced by
the celebration of solemn high masa. Rev. Mr.
Runner officiated, assisted by the Rev. Messrs.
Monahon and Reilly. The responses of the choir
were given most beautifolly. Indeed, we could
not with Patios omit to mention the exquisite per
formance of the choir and organist. Among the
best-perfbrmed plum was an English translation
of ,‘ Te Deum Laudamus."
Rev. William ()Terra, of Philadelphia, then de
livered an excellent discourse, taking as his text a
portion of the 14th psalm.
After alluding to the audience assembled before
him, and the great pleasure ho enjoyed in seeing
such an interest felt In the services, he said it was 4
beautiful eight to see theee young laffles surround
ing the altar, arrayed in all the vanity of the
world. They were to divest themselves of their
worldly garments`—of the attraotive insignia of
folly and fashion—and assuming the boy garb pf
religion, to retire from the world. They were
about to imitate the example et the blessed Virgin,
who retired from the world that she might draw
nearer to God. These young pampa decked in
white wished also to draw nearer to God, and to
'collide themselves front the influence and attrne-
Sons of the world--to follow the footstep; of their
Divine Master pp the height' of Cavalry, that they
might be oonetantly near film, with their hearts and
sonic riveted to him
These young Indies were about to give them
selves to Ood, in the most perfect and unreserved
manner. They wished to sacrifice themselves to
Him, and, as far as their calling would permit, ex
ert themselves in behalf of their fellow-beings.
The world cannot appreciate such devotion as this.
i t,
t cannot conceive how a young maiden, reared in
happy home, with all the comforts of affluence;
e love of fond parents; the esteem of friends
and acquaintanow and the buoyancy and hope
fulness of youth, should leave home. parents, and
'moiety, for a life of self-denial, and devotion to
the Saviour of all. No • the world is full of de
ceit, tinderetanding not the purity and exultation
of titc; chrietiau religion—eneoring and Bearing at
egenp/ sue; a' this. These ypaung le f ties make a
noble mid generous saorifioe to Cod—the most no
ble man oaq make; yet tho world Condemns it—
condemns their removal from home and society,
and cerium the spirit that prompts the course
and invites the eaorilice.
Wby this opposition to these young ladles leaving
home and society? Do we not see it even in every.
day life? Do we not gee expatriation in every-day
lily? Dien do it for a multitude of onuses, for in
threat or for glory. We see fathers end sons, and
husbands and' Mende, going far away from those
they love, and making virtually a sacrifice of
friendship's ties as great as that made by these
young Dulles. Different motives Refueled them
from those influenoing the men of the world. They
retired to the cloister, not to gain the perishable
laurel of transitory fame, but to gain the blessing
and favor of Almighty fled. It was a beautiful
end touching scene. Religion gave it that pomp
and splendor becoming it. The young man loading
his bride to the foot of the altar led her in the
dress dictated by the vanity of thdworld: In such
a dress did these young ladies appear at the altar
foot, but for the last time. In ono ease, they passed
from one state of life to another ; in the other case,
the transition was. hoot the world to God.
pat bumble dress they wore about to assume
!Wan emblem of ' the humility praotiged by the
sltviour. Bleared are they that praotioe poverty,
for tbo Dori practised poverty on earth. The veil
they were about to assume was only tba emblem of
a probationary period, established to test their
willingness and fitness for the final assumption of
the vows of their order. Now It was a matter of
choice—of orperiment. Before they assume the
Anal responsibilities of their position, they must
paw through pounce. The humble dregs of their
ord e r was fittingly emblematic of Its vows. The
veil ovcit the brow typified their concealment from
the propped orthinv worttly, that they might more
unreservedly worship God and enjoy ills glory.
The duties of their order were noble duties The
ohildren of Christ, they must practise Christian
virtues, that 'bey may eventually give their hearts
up to dod, They give themselves to the study and
praotice of virtue for their own advancement and
the leaven:tempt of others, They come here to
smuttily their children and tem h * them the elo.
mouth of faith. It was fitting that the prasente of
those postulants, and the occasion of that cere
mony, should be an occasion of joy to the neople of
that church. They were the first from the fold of
that congregation to assume the responsibilities of
that positron—by God'e grace, he hope! they would
not ho the lam. The little ones of the church
should understand their duty. and the spirit of our
religion. lie congratulated his auditors, and more
especially their worthy pastor, on the caseation
They should stay them in their choice, and help to
build them up in the fear of God
The reverend gentleman then passed a eulogy on
religious houses in the Church, and sketched their
advantages and necessity, and wont on to conclude
his discourse. This was a happy day to us end a
happy day to them. They were indeed happy—
aa they were on the eve of oonsemmatiog the most
tender and affectionate union between themselves
end Master,
The diseourse was very brief, and was listened
to with the olosest attention by the large audience.
The sermon over, the oereumay of consecrating
the garments about to be assumed by the postu
lants was performed by the Bishop. Tim six
young ladle. prostrated themselves at the foot of
the altar for several minutes in silent prayer. On
rising they proceeded to rend, in a clear and die
tinot voioo, the formula adopted by their order no
making applioation for the veil. The Bishop In.
terrogated them es to their willingness to accept
the position, Mod proceeded to clip a look of hair
from the forehead of each, which was thrown into a
small basket carried by a little girl.
This ceremony, whiois conciliated the formal re
ception of the postulents into the order, was under
stood to typify their formal renunciation of the
vanity of the world, and their willingness to enter
into the probationary period. This being con
cluded, the y oung ladles retired to en ante-room, me
componied by several of the order. An interval
elepsed, which was occupied by the performance of
a religious ceremony, and a beautiful piece of mu
sic. The girls re-entered in the costume of their
order, consisting of a long blue habit, a white veil
bound around thp brown, and bulging over the
shoulders. a white cape of mann, and slippers
The Bishop gave them Intlivlduslly his blessing,
nod placed on their heads the crowns of orange
blossoms which had been removed In the former
part of the ceremony.
Tho following are the names of the young ladies
assuming the veil, together with those adopted by
themselves In entering the order:
Miss Rebooaa Mathews, of Philadelphia, as
suming the name of Sis.or Mary Cecilia.
Mies Mary Reel, of Philadelphia, assuming tho
name of Sister Mary Regina.
Miss Mary Marron, of Philadelphia, assuming the
name of Sister Mary Benedict*.
Mies Carolina Gilbert, of Philadelphia, assuming
the name or Mary Bohn.
Mies Catharine Moroney. of Philadelphia, as.
eumlag the name of Mary Henrietta.
Mine Frances firant, of York, Pa.; assuming the
name of Mary Elisabeth.
• At halt past one o'clock, the ceremonies con
cluded, and the six young ladles that had entered
the church, apparently so full of life and hope, ar•
rayed In the rieheat of bridal costumes, now depart
ed In the humble habit of their order.
The contrast alone wee singular and imprecate.
Nothing exemplified more then ads the change
that hail come over the spirit of their lives—the
solemn 011mm:canoe that had been voluntarily am.
cepted. The world and all its pletoures, lie
temporary enjoyments and sinful fascination!, hail
been renounced, and forever apart from anything
that might contribute to wean them from that life
of pure and humble devotion to Christ to which
they bad devoted themselves It was a hard thing
to console° that no moult had been sacrificed—that
sit much could be sacrificed—hy those PO young and
bountiful. Yet it wee n noble exemplification of
and brought vividly to recollection
