Th . e Disaster at Lawrence. The recent disaster at Lawrence is the most terrible sodded of the kind that ever occurred in ,this or, perhaps, any other • country, and a profound 'sensation is created wherever the sorrowful details are read. It is a striking proof of the perils to which the Masses of men are subjected, even in the common employ ments of life, while engaged in avocations of a peaceful character,' , particularly ',in' this go ahead country, where, in the ardor of our pur suit for wealth, the eareful safeguards for the 'protection of hUman life, which iu older or more cautious countries aro systeMatically eetabllithecl; receive but little attention. We rarely- appreciate, notwithstanding the daily "admonitions we receive, the dangers to which the masses are subjected in their daily strug gles 'for the acquisition of e livelihood, and our- attention is but momentarily drawn to their habitual Perils when we read accounts of hapless sailors swept into the sea by the vio lence of a great storm; of engineers, brakes men, or conductors of 'trains of cars 'crashed and mangled by, terrible accidents; of gangs pf miners buried in the earth; of laborers killed while making excavations, by falling walls; of men mangled, in a neglectful mo ment, by the cogs of ponderous wheels ; or of ;mechanics paying the penalty of their lives ' for attempts to discharge dangerous duties Connected with their bluffness tasks. - The late occurrence, while it has been pre ceded in some Instances by the sudden-demo lition of buildings on account of the extreme weight placed„upen their floors, has no paral lel in the sacrifice of human life it caused. The buildings which have heretofore fallen down have generally been warehouses, in which too large a quantity of goods was stored, and but few lives were destroyed by their ruin. It is a fearful warning to all concerned in the management of extensive factories, of the responsibility which rests upon them to secure strength and architectural completeness in these great industrial edifices. We believe that the Pemberton Mills, at the time of their erection, were constructed in great haste, be. cause a lire had destroyed a building in which manufacturing operations had been previously conducted by its original owners, and they were anxious to resume business as speedily as possible. Even when, in the progress of its erection, its imperfections were nutde - evident by its tottering walls, the builders would not spare the time and money-necessary to erect a substantial edifice. The sequel of this reck less haste is now seen in a frightful sacrifice of human life—in the anguish of hundreds of be reaved families—in an amount of physical and mental suffering which no .pen can depict. In the vicinity ,of. Philadelphia there are many eetablishmente emPloylng a, large num ber of operatives. New factories are: also constantly being erected. The Lawrence dis aster should therefore impress us with the im portance of closely 'fieratihizing the architec tural Structure of the great bee. hives of indus try in our vicinity. • We do not doubt that they are nearly 'all well built, but it is proba ble some of them will be fbund In a condition not much superior to that of . the' PembCrton Mills; and, if this be the case, the recent ca lamity shpuld teach all concerned in such establishments, employers and employees, the vital importance of remedying these defects at . once, and the wicked folly of longer permit ting valuable human lives to be jeopardized in fatal man-traps. We belieYo that in the matter of building, the legislation applicable to our city is some what In advance of that- of many other ; por tions of the country; amid that wise precautions have been taken to insure the solidity of new buildings constructed, and to guard against the danger of the occupancy of unsafe old. ones. Still, it is to be feared that feint. emirate in vestigation were made of alb' ; he great;esta-, ofehr citY_andileinlly...eameitPlen them would be found in a conditionlvldch -en dangers the lives of the ocennants." 'Wherever suck establishments exist, those responsible for their present condition should 'be haunted in their daily thoughts and nightly dreams by the victims of the Lawrence disaster. They should hear the groans of the dying, the shrieks of the wounded, and the wailing of the bereaved widows and orphans of the victims, and keenly feel that upon their heads rests the daily danger of being the' authors of similar calamities. In this country men are entirely too reck less:of . hunian life, When a small item of expenie is placed in the scale, on the one band. and entire immunity from danger for those who are - to inhabit buildings, travel in cars, steamships, sailing vessels, or steam boats, is placed in the other, the money aide of the balance ;too often kicks the beam, and a temporary saving of a few dollars is made, although, in the sequel, for every dollar thus obtained human lives are sacrificed. In no other element of character are the American people subject to so much legitimate censure. In our earnest and untiring struggles for the rapid accumulation of wealth, of which each new census affords astonishing proofs of our success, wo can well spare from our vast re sources means enough to increase our safe guards for the lives of our -citizens, and par ticularly those , td• the laboring masses, upon whose hard struggle and daily toil the pyra mid of Americrinimaterial greatness is based. ,Nearly a thousand parlous have been thrown out of employment at an inclement season, and several hundred have been killed or terri bly wounded by the late calamity. Those of our citizens; who have superfluous means at their, command, could find no better direction for their charities than the extension of relief to the sufferers at Lawrence. We trust, too, that our legislator's will care fully examine the tenor of the existing statutes of our State which guard against the 'oceu pancyof insecure buildings, and if they do not find them sufficiently stringent to prevent the possibility of such disasters, that they will enact such new laws as aro appropriate and neces sary. While men are intent upon their eager chase for fortune, if their own minds and hearts do not furnish sufficient motives to prompt them to secure the lives of those in their employ or •in the occupancy of their buildings, governments, having for one of their primary °ldeas the preservation of Inman life, can find no subject more worthy -of. careful and earnest attention than a close supervision of this all-important subject.

Before the Catholic community has had time to recover from the shock received in the midden death of Bishop NEUMANN, we are called upon to record the scarcely less sudden - summons of another of their most oniinent ministers. The Rev. bolts RYDER, D. D., died at the parsonage of St. Joseph's Church yesterday morning, after a brief illness, which, until a short time before 'pap, although severe, was not regarded eilaiartning by his ; friends. His disease was inflammation of the bowels._ Few men, in the Church or out of it, have lett a purer record than Dr. Rime. By the people of his do. nomination in this community, and in fact throughout the Union, he was greatly esteemed_ both for his eminent services in the Church and the honorable relations ho sustained, at diffe rent periods of his life, to sonic of our first institutions of learning. More than this: by those who knew him intimately he was as much beloved for his suavity of manlier as ho was respected for his commanding ability. Ho was at once a thorough scholar, an urbane geittleman, and a devoted and zealous Chris tian. In his death the Church has lost one of her most eloquent and learned Doctors of Divi nity, the people of his charge a faithful pas tor, and the society in which he moved an or nament hard to be replaced. In the Order of which he was a distinguished member, (the Society of Jesus,) ho occupied a prominent position, When we published the sketch of Dr. Br uen, biographic, personal, and pulpitorial—if we may coin a phrase—whick appeared in these columns, in our series of Pulpit Por traits, on the 2lth of November last, we little expected that the materials it contained would come so soon in use for his obituary. The body will lie in state during to-day in St. Joseph's Church, where an appropriate ser vice will be held at nine o'clock this morning. The funeral will take place at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. The body will be interred in a vault on the south range of the yard at tilchedlo St. John's Church, the same, we understand, which was intended for the recep tion of the remains of Bishop NEUMANN.

As none of the biographic details were objected to in this note, their ac curacy may be relied upon : My DEAR SIR * , The 'portrait" you kindly drew of me has greatly pleased my friends, and although I must confess that I feel it a highly-colored and flatter ing picture, I am not the less grateful for the com plement.

THE SKETCH. The Roy. James Ryder, D. D„ was born in Dub lin in October, 1800. He came to America a youth, and soon after entered Gebrgetown College, an in• etitution with which he was at intervals officially connected during a large portion of his life. In 1815 he entered among the Jesuits as a novice of the order, and during the ensuing five years prose- Gated his philosophical studies in the college above referred to. In 1820 his went to Rome, where, for five years, .ho was occupied in the study of the ology. It was during this period that he made his Isfence of all theology in the Roman College; Aftor hie ordination, in 1025. he was appointed a teacher of Theology and Sacred Scripture in the College of Spoleto, where the present Popo was then Archbishop. At the close of three years he resigned this position, and returned to America. The ripened attainments which he had acquired during his absentia rendered his presence at Geor g e. town desirable, and he accordingly entered tho college a second time, not es a pupil, but as a teacher of theology and philosophy. Ile was soon after appointed to the vice-presi dency of the college, which position he held for several years, having twice visited Philadelphia during the Interval, and twist some time hero in a pastoral relation. It was upon one of these coca. stone that ho attended the laying of the corner atone of St. John's Church, Thirteenth street, above Chestnut. With regard to rather Ryder's claim to the title of D. D., it may not bo generally known that all Professed Jesuits aro acknowledged on the conti nent of Europe as Doctors of Divinity ; and that one of the requisites of becoming a Professed Je suit is, that he shall be able to teach theology and philosophy in any university; another is, that be sides taking the three ordinary vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, he must vow obedience to the Sovereign Pontiff to go to any foreign mission, and to refuse all ecclesiastical honors. In 1839, during the erection of St. Joseph's Church, in Willing's alloy, Dr. Ryder was pastor of that congregation, as he had in fact, boon for a short period while they yet worshipped in the old building on the site of their present large and comfortable edifice. The corner-stone of this church, it may be added, was laid by Dr. Ryder, who preached in St. Mary's on the occasion. The orottession to the church on that day, and the so. 'opacities attending it. aro well remembered by many of our citizens. Toward the close of 10 be assumed the pastoral charge of St. John's Church, in Frederick, Maryland. In 1840, hie eminent qualifications for the post, no legs than his long and honorable connection with the institution Dolt', pointed to Dr. Ryder as the most imitable person to fill the president's chair of the college, which ho did for six years. During this period, extending from 1810 to 1846, as the chief governing officer of Georgetown College, he •had ;many young men under hie charge, who have since risen to honorable eminence in professional life, and the sons of not a few of the first men in the nation. Dr. Ryder • thrice visited Europe on buslnese for the order of which lie is so distinguished a member. It was after his return from Europe the second time that he was elected to the presidency of the Holy Cross, the Roman Catholic College located at Worcester,. Massachusetts. Subic:pont to this, lie was re-elected to the presidential chair of Georgetown College, in which capacity he con tinued for three years more. In 1853 he want to California on business for the Church. While there his health gave wily, and ho sailed for Havana, where ho remained a short pe riod, and after spending a few months in the South ern States, where ho delivered a popular course of lectures, Matted to Philadelphia, and, four years ago, was mode pester of St. John's Church, in this city, where he continued for about two years, at the close of which he went to Alexandria, where, for nearly two years more, he occupied the position of assistant pastor. Returning again to this city, ho has, for the pest few months, acted as assistant pastor of the church at which he expired yesterday morning. As already indicated, Dr. Ryder was in his six tieth year at his death. He was of medium heiTlit, and rather corpulent. Ilia hair, which wee thin and quite white, was combed behind his care, giving his features, in repose, en air of peculiar docility. His complexion was florid. His face, 'which was not unlike the portraits of John Quincy Adams. though full, and indicative of a marked preponderance of the vital forces, was delicate in outline, as it was also youthful In appearance, and redolent with good nature, though he bad a laugh ing dark eye, not Incapable of flashing &wear things than the unadulterated milk of human kindness. Ms address in the pulpit Was at once that of gentleman and a scholar : eminently dignified, yet not haughty pr overbearing. He was graceful, and apparently as fastidious in his testes as a woman. Culture and refinement always marked his di, comae; elan, tho strictest conformity to the phi, losophteal rules of rhetorical propriety. This pa ouliarity is probably attributable to tits long con emotion with Ohl) of our first institutions of Wm- Jug. Ho was a most methodical thinker. Re scarcely ever uttered a sentence without a purpose. For an extempore speaker, he was really remarka ble In this particular. Without manifesting any great anxiousness to make his hearers believe that what he preached was true, he usually disposed of the various points of hie argument in such a man ner as to render the oonelusion he desired IrresisU. bits. Re laid down a proposition with so much gentleness, that, however unpalatable it might at first seem In the bands of another, ho secured a hearing, and then proceeded with tho most insinu ating arguments to establish his point. In this perettastve rower ho wee a model of a pulpit orator. He had a soft, mild way of pronouncing his words, quite in keeping with his benevolent expression of face. In hie gesticulation he was no lees exact and prestos than he was in framing his sentences and arranging his arguments. In the former, his right arm was mainly employed ; the lett coeasionallv i although the pulpit use of neither was such as might not be employed with propriety in animated private dletiourso. It was not necessary to hear him long to ascertain that it was sense, not sound, by which he sought to impress his listeners. His style of speaking, upon the whole, may be described as con versational, though so far as it regards ability to present 'dime in the most fitting terms to be Clearly understood, ho was truly eloquent. As a word painter he was more successful in moving the heart than in exciting the imagination. In his delivery he varied from the slow—bordering en the monotonous—to the warm and more rapid, but was never so precipitate as to interfere with dis tinot articulation. Ills sermons were by no means devoid of ornament, but those flowed naturally from the toul and ardor of hie subject, and not from a design to please the ear.

Letter front 64 OCCIV4O/1111.4' (Correspondence of The Pmed ArASIIINGTON, J4tiunry 12, MOO Your last demonstration upon Bennett, of the Now York Herald, is the talk and the laugh of the town. it is making old Satan breakfast upon Ms own fire and brimstone. There is a poetic justice in turning Bennett's own words upon hint self and the President, that has rarely been equalled. It is like Acton devoured by his own dogs. The President was startled to see bow fear fully ho had been slandered by his present favo rite, and more than ono of his friends never be lieved that Bennett had gone so far. And the worst of the joke is, that morn of these monstrous missives are threatened. Send them on—" The more the merrier." You have had ample and persistent provocation. Every means has been re sorted to to crush you and The Press, and thie only because you have dared to stand by the right Mr. Buchanan forgot twenty years of devotion to his interests and his ambition, the moment you refused to sanction his treason to principle. The friend was at once changed into the fiend—the flatterer into the despot—the sycophant into the slanderer. You were denied every attribute of intellect or of character; your paper was proscribed by the hirelings of the Administration, and all men in office wore ostracised who would not agree to ostracise you. But all these amiable efforts would not avail. You kept on—and The Press won its way into the hearts of the people, until it bee become a power in the land. What next did your "former friend" essay? Neither more nor less than to call upon Bennett, of the Herald, to revive upon you the very slanders against which he had most effectively defended you! If you doubt this, I have only to refer you to it late number of the Constitution. here, contain ing an article attacking you for the Forrest letter, written by Attorney General Black, who has re peatedly, in my presence, justified you in the writing of that celebreted epistle. Of course, no such paragraph would ever have appeared hut by command of the President. And this also proves that It was a similar command that induced Ben nett to resume hie attacks. I leave to your own judgment the decision of the question, how far James Buchanan deserves himself to be protected against the revelation of his own private letters, when he basely sinks to tho level of Bennett in making a boast over the exposure of your corre spondence. I know how yonbave forborne in this respect. Yet, as to the retribution you are inflict ing upon the whole of these men by showing how they have traduced each other, this is fair game, and I hope you will not tire in the good work. Senator Iverson, of Georgia, in his speech of Monday, denounced Judge Douglas, and declared his determination not to support him if nominated at Charleston. It is believed that Mr. I. will be easily re-elected to the Senate, and that his attack on Douglas was meant to intimidate Toombs, who Is disposed to sustain Douglas, and who declared, some time ago, that he would vote for him if nomi nated at Charleston. Mr. Toombs is not a man easily scared. The President paid his compliments to Judge Douglas on Monday, by nominating as United States marshal of Illinois Sidney 'Breese, at present a Judge of the Supreme Court of that State' This is promoting downwards. But Judge Breese want ed a money office, probably, and . as he war ono of the bitterest anemia Mr. Buchanan ever hail a few years ago, and one of the later foes of Judge Douglas, he had double claims upon the gratitude of his Majesty.

It has been in operation for a number of years, and found to effect wonders for that unfortunate class of htimanity. Petitions of themselves ought not, nelthcr do they, carry much weight with auy man familiar with the easy man ner of obtaining signatures for any purpose what ever ; but this school la an object of true charity, and when Its claims sbnll be duly presented to the Legislatu to there can be no dodbt of the response.

Abbott, Acker, Barnsley, Coulter, FAlmaker, Green, Me. Curdy, Parnell, and Wilson—all Itepublleans but Mr. Coulter, of Westmoreland. Mr. Allen thinks there are miscounts and frauds', hence this move. If the committee find him to be mistaken in his belief, they should make short work of their inves tigation, for this business of contesting seats is get ting to be too common by half.

The resolution lies over, under the rules. Mr. Pugh's resolutions were then taken up. Mr. Pratt, of Obio, resumed his remarks, Ile explained the meaning of the hinneas-Nebraske bill, which ho regarded as a surrender of the pow er of Congress over the Territories. Ile denied that the Dred Feett decision was susceptible of the President's Interpretation. The President seemed to think that the frequent assertion of the some thing is finally to be accepted as fact. It might be accepted by placemen and personal ad— mirers, but the claim that there was any vested right to hold slaves in the Territories by virtue of - that decision is not sustained by feels. Ile re viewed the Dred Scottdeeision at length. Having road en abstract of the Dred Scott ante, he denied that the Supreme Court bad therein settled the question of slave property in the Ter ritories. Congress could not make laws to violate the Constitution. Mr. GREEN, of Missouri, said that h 3 had dis tinctly stated that the question did not arise before the court whether a Territory could prohibit slavery by its own powers, but the question was whether Congress could prohibit slavery in the Territories. On that the court gave an opinion, and decided that a Territory could not exercise any power beyond that of Congress. Mr. Pratt read Judge entron s dissenting opin ion, and in the course of his remarks denied that to legislate rested In the Governor and judges of the Territory. Mr. GREEN roused a portion of the spevh of Mr. Douglas to be rend, in which he admitted that such legislation had been exercised. Mr. Pl7Oll objected to bringing in third parties. The policy of the goverment towards the Territo ries had been more liberal ns the subject wan dis cussed. He denounced the ordinance of 1757 ns tyrannical and odious, as it imposed a property qualification on voters. lie further dented that the Freeport speech of Mr. Douglas was the first enunciation of the doctrine of populor sove reignty. It bail been asserted when he first earns here by a gentleman now in Mr. Beehanan's pobi• not. Mr. Pugh then road from a speech mode in Portland, in which it was in reply to a charge that the South wanted to force slavery Into the Territories, tbnt a Territorial Legislature, by failing to pass protecting laws, might virtually ex clude slavery. Mr DAVIS denied that the speech was poseepti ble of such a construction. Mr. Pilau. I don't know whether you have vised your epeeeh or not. Mr. DAWN. You do know, for I hare told you Mr. Pron. I did not know when I spoke. Ido know now. Mr. DAVIS. I will say that was my impression. The speech was addressed to the people of tha Northern States in reply to the oft.repeated charge of forging slavery upon n community. Ile could put no other interpretation on It than that it was, in the language of tho. Senator front Missouri, sug geeting to the people or the Territories to keep out slavery. Mr DAVIS would ray that he addressed an nudienee more intelligent than the Senator, if that was his construction, 'They perfectly understood him and put no.sueh interpretation on it. Ile raid that no sort of property could be held tinder the laws if Juries were opposed. flu had cited a parth eular erre in Utah. Mr. Pcou raid be did not know what the au dience understood. The Senator's language was in print to go forth to the country to bo judged. Mr. DAvis said the Senator put in what he could net find. Nothing wee raid about legisla tion, but something .was raid about the power of the people when eppaad to a particular kind or property. Mr Puen read over Mr. Davis' speech to rue- Min his construction, and raid that it the Territo rial Legislature was in cession looking fur ways. and means to prevent slavery in the Territory, they could do no bettor titan to follow the Senator's advtca. Mr. DAVI. n 9 you Any there 13 Mirk° in my speech to the Territorial Legislature to pass laws to embarrass the right to property ill sla vet? Mr. Peon. No; but you suggest the passage 0 nn laws. Ito explained that what ho meant was that Mr. Davis' specials wan es much ads ice as Mr Douglas' speeell at Preeport. Mr. DAVIu denied Mr. Pugh'n right to say eve: that much. lie hod said nothing about leglala don. Mr. Ptron said that the language was not alt plied to Congress, but to the people of the Terri torles. Mr. DAVIS replied that everybody knew wilt' he meant. Territorial JegiFialinn wan tbe ores turn or Congresa, and Congrees indirectly legielatet for the Territories. Mr. Pivot said that did not alter H. lie read the language, and it had gone to the country. Mr. DAvis replied Olathe had sent it to the coun try himself, to meet Just such perversions es tied been undo by-the Senator. Mr. Penn denied having made any perversion. lie bad only read the Senator's remarks. Ile was willing to leave the country to judge. it was idle to have any further controversy. Mr. Ports. Quito so. Mr. Pvoo than commented upon Mr Douglas' removal' from the chairmanship of the Committee on Territories beeause of the Freeport speech. Mr. LincEN said that he had nes or said that he was removed in consequence of that. Ile was op posed to that removal, and if he could restore liar. loony he was willing to resign his place on that committee or in the Senate; but the Senator had repeated that sentiment Lime rind again in hie triumphal march through the Southern Staten, and lie supposed that it woo in consequence of these repeated assertions that ho had been removed. Mr. DocurAa, of Illinqis, explained that he had said in his speeches that slavery might be excluded by non-action or unfriendly legislation. Every Senator knew that that had been his opinion while chairman of the Committee on Territories. Mr. 11fAsoN, of Virginia, had not no understood the former position of the Senator from Illinois. Mr. DORMAN said that no ono in the Senate had an excuse for not knowing it. Ile had repeated it; as often as the question came up. Mr. GREEN contended that nil had agreed to abide by the Drod Scott decision, and since then' _ . the Senator from Illinois had raised the question. Mr. Be; to thought that, about the period of the passage of the Llapsas..Nebraska art. the Senator from Illinois was sounder than at any other time, Mr. Doorn„ss said, nt tho proper time, ashen the Kaneas•lstebraska net, on the very night of Its passage, ho held and expressed the opinion which he now entertained as to the power of the people of the 'fartherlea. Iktr. Davia said he war, not then a member of this body, and did not therefore have the happinesq to hear the Senator. Mr. Dot GbAQ. Thou, you should nuCexpress nn opinion no to my soundness, if you did not know toy views. Mr. DAVIS continued, and expressed the opinion that Mr. Douglas had properly been deposed tram the ehairtnapship of the Committee on Territories. as his views wore nut in accordance with those of the majority. tlr.l ouot,ao believed throo.fourtha of the Done. craoy of the country egreod with him Ile would show by record, that a majority had understood the terms of the Nebraska act as he did. Mr. Rich. unison, who was nominee for Speaker of the Haute, wrote a letter in which lie recognised the power:of the people in the Torritoilea, and after that tot every Southern Democratic vote except three. Mr. IlAvta reiterated that Mr. Douglas was so posed because hie views were not in accordance with five of the majority. Mr. Douhr.§, fold ho had no complaint to make of that deposition, and never Intended to refer to It. For eleven years he had noted as ehalr4an of that committee, all the time holdlnK the sante lime as lie now held. At the end of that period ho was removed, though he had not changed his sentiments. Thleonly showed that °theta changed, while ho adhered with fidelity to bin 'prim:triter. Mr. tigensi said the Senator from Nino's: In 105 d, accepted Rile ep a judicial question, nd agreed to abide by the pullets! decision. During the eleven yearn ho had referred to, the Scimitar from Illinois never had asserted that tr Territorial Legislature ponionsod a power which Congress did net. Mr. Doraz,s, admitted that he regarded thin to a judieial /potion, and did Pe now Thu Drell Scott decision did not nettle it. It woo not geed before the court. It would have been graceful if the court h a d decided upon what was not before It. When a Territorial Legislature passed en °without prohibiting Hal cry, the Flu. promo Court could decide the question, eno he would respect the decision and help to carry it out in good faith. That wan the understaniiing when the Nebraska bill was passed. Ile did n o t believe the decision of the court would be tgainst Lis views, Mr. Olt KES stated his viCIAVS as to the unfirr stivaling at tho tirno of the inissago of the Knish., Nebraska bill, and Fflifl the Senstor how Illinois would not dare to dispute hie propositions. Mr. DOcul.t.tl replied that tho word " dare",war unnecessary, and It was unnecosiary to handy words. 110 dared to assort tho truth. Ile thought ho knew what his owrropiniona had bean at sell 111 , the Senator from Missouri. lie would vindicate every word ho had said, and when the Senator,. had all gotten through with their bills of indict meat against him, be would fire at thew in the lump. Mr. (inn:a, (excitedly.) The Senator 01111 fire away whenever it suits his convenience, either al us in a lump, or Individually. There h one.indi• viduel who is ready to meet hint at Philippi 1 know and assert that no man ever elnimed that the Territories possessed more power than Congress until the Freeport speech. Mr. hull resumed. It was easy to thrust per sonal feeling and personal assaults into a cootie versy. It had been done by the Senator from Mississippi, and imitated by the Sennter from Missouri. HO contended that the question of the power of the people of the Territories was still no open question. When It was decided by the courts ho was ready to obey. The whole controversy bad been forced on the Senator from Illinois and him self under eireutnstanees of outrage and Indignity which had to be loot. If it continued to be pregcti in this manner the fate of the Demosratie party sealed. The- subject had bean thrust forward by the President in his message, by the Vice Presi dent in his address to tho Legislature, and on thh floor. Ile referred to the Exeoutive dictation, end attempt to course free man by cutting of their head, as postmasters and custom-house officers. The Sena for from lieorgin now wanted a law Passed to Coll his slaves to be held in 'territories in defiance of all law, and insisted on the Charleston Convent lot, sustaining this despond. If that was the senti. men! of the Southern delegn tee, ho hoped thPy would say so on the ilrat day of the Convontion. e trod nothing for the threats of opposition to a Northern nominee made by the Senator from Georgia. Ile conoludecl by &Airing his detoriui nation, as a delegate to the Charleston Convention to support his front views, and imbdol that the proscription against his Moinoh of the party must sense. Mr,DountAS said the state of his health would not fermit blot to engage iu a lengthy debate. When his assailants had gotten through, ho would reply to them in a heap. Mr. D.tvls thought the Sender from Illinois exalted himself above his level when ho supposed it necessary to have a combination formed against him. As t 3 his going at them in the lump, he had bettor try to got through with one of them. Mr. Vouot,se would Institute no compariamr between himself and the Senator as to the modesty of their bearing. He had boon assailed while ly ing on a sicie.bcd, EIS rotten, by 0710 who had con. fussed to a rottenness at heart twelve years ago. No assaults would lie snake 6n any one. lie had no fondness for controversy, and his. tosition was purely defensive, Mr. Cr, iv, of Alabama, said he would show that the Senator had changed his views, In Itiso he voted for the Wilmot proviso. lie would not have extended the right hand of fellowship as a Demo orat if he had not believed that be had changed his views. The complaints of assaults and oom binatton looked like seeking popular sympatitv, witiohte abhorred as the net of a demagogue. Ile feared that the Senator was like Olson. who rushed into the market•placo exhibiting self-inflicted wounds to exoito sympathy and secure protection Mr. DOUGLAS denied seeking popular sympathy. He' never would bare alluded to his deposition from the chairmanship of the Committee on Terri• toilet; if It had not been thrown in his fuse. Ile denied the right of the Senator from Alabama to criticise hie Democracy. Ile did not think the Se. eater's opposition would affect his vote in Ala bama. Ile never bad made speeches to bolt the nomination of the Convention unless his man was selected. Tho Senator, by Ida pronunciamientos, heel put himself outside of the Democratic patty. If the Senator did not extend the right hand of political fellowship he would survive the stroke. file happened to be nominated nt Charleston, ho vpould consider the Senator from Alabama es much honored by his accepting his vote to he himself would be in receiving it. lie (Mr. Douglas) did not tam% the nomination at Charleston. lie would not accept it except upon a platform conforming to his alms. Ile would never commit the meanness of being elected on a platform and kick it over after wards lie believed that two-thirds of the Demo. Orany of the country were with him. Ilia removal from the Committee on Territories must hove boon meant as a proclamation to the world that no one holding his opinions was fit to bo chairman. if such proscriptive teats aro to be applied, what chance was there to elect a Demtanatic candidate De would not say he was unwilling to support a Demooratie nominee who differed with him. Mr. DAVIS said he had no objection to Mr. Doug las as a Democrat, except on this particular point. lle was willing to give bins the chairmanship of his committee. , Mr. Guam So am I. Mr. DOUGLAS said ha could net, under the oir- Unmet:times, take any other committee. For e avon years hie opinions were no disqualification. Ito did not see why they were so now. Mr. DAVIS said ho wished to know wh ther the Senator wanted to mks nn isum with .he Demo• erotic Senators on thie question, or on all t DOVOTAS replied that he wished to make lame with Senators on neither side 101 the mouse. Proscription had everywhere been exer cised against all holding his TiOWE'. Was any man prepared to accept the Charleston nomination, pledged to proscribe them, and then so moan co to ark tho votes of those proaeribed It was certain that ono third of a party could not :subdue two• thirds. lie yielded to no tnau in the soundness of his •Demooratic and State•rights principles. and upon the slavery question. Ho wenn' make no abandonment of prineiploom recantation. If the Senators wets satisfied with their ono records, and would leave hie alone, all would go well. If they assailed him, a controversy must ensue. Mr. DAVIS disavowed any desire to assail the Senator, and defended the Administation from the charge of prescription Mr. CLAY made some explanatory remarks. Ito preferred principles to party, and Lad therefore declared that he would not support any objection aide man. Mr. Dor. ocke said he Toted for the Wilmot pro viso under instructions from the Illinois Legiela• taro. Mr. Dooming, of Wiroonrin, ...bed if the Sent• tor front Illinois believed now that Cong,re.s had power to legislate upon slavery in the Territoriex ' Mr. llornbam raid he believed Congress had no power over slavery in the Territories Mr. Pireire resolution to eleot a printer on Tueadey next was adopted. -.

Ito did not suppose that any gentleman thought lie meant or intended apersonal appilea• bout. The gentleman had been charged with hay. lug endorsed the sentiments of the Helper book, and bad never disavowed Its doctrines. The gen. [Leman from Ohio 11 , 1(1 endorsed doctrines of a most ireasonehlo and infamous character, and while he hied made it statement which some of his friends said was a divot - mad yet Ito (Mr. Houston) eon• tended that it we not a fair aril candid disavowal nf the doctrines contained in the Helper book.

Mr. SHERMAN said that every ono ought to be satisfied with Mr. Houston's personal disclaimer. All would bear him witness that he had listened to the character of the debate here without olio: Lion Ale had not been disposed to regard the remarks at personal. So fur as his disclaimer of the doctrines of the Helper book was cencerneil, ovary man who had any sense of feeling knew that his lips, in a great measure, had been scaled from the first day of the session by what he must regard at an cdfinss sire resolution, throat on the House at an improper limo and timelier, and insisted on in a way without precedent in parliamentary history. That deck ration was snails on this floor.

The gentleman from Virginia had alluded to the fact that a firearm had fallen on the flor. It was due to truth to say that, about the time he WAS talking somewhat excitedly in refelence to the harsh and unjust remark by his colleague, a pistol in his breast-packet accidentally fell to the door. NO man WHO knew him belierml that be would use a pistol except in an honors. ble way. Ile regretted that thin accident had occurred. lle put the pistol in his pocket last night about twelve o'clock, to'orotect himself if necessary, fur he resided to the neighb‘rheed of English Hill, where outrages have been com mitted, and wanted to feel secure in going home l'ntil he edele to Washington he had never thought It necessary to he sinned. He did not carry a pistol for tiny nu-n?so here. but for his protection while passing ;urouglt. this sometimes violent city.

Dong,las delagates S If. Bn'kirk said that the popular ezpreoai•.n of Indiana was largely for Douglas, and that to= friends ought to be eeleete 1 to go to Charleston ; and the surest way to do that was to pursue the old usage. by raising n committee to select. W. 11. Harrington contended that, no the Don. gifts men had the power, they ought to exercise it in the way indicated by the first motion. The tables were turned now from what they 'acre two years ago. and Mr. Robinson's motion was the last retort of the minority to confuse the majority. Governer 'Willard defended his course no presi dent of the Convention of 1658, and advocated the amendments. Let a fair vote be now taken here. If Mr. Douglas should be nominated at Charles ton he would sustain him, and Liked the friend! of Mr Douglas to do likewise if another be the nominee Locate Wallace replied, saying, that Governor M Marti hail a Imitted that the wage had been for thecotomittee toselect, and not in the way pinkeed by Mr Robinson Ile denied that in the COrtVetl tioa of 1831, Governor Willard. as president, bad constructed the committee on resolutions so that it 1 , 749 composed of a majority of anti-Lecompten men. The reverse seas true; notone of that stamp was on the cmmtnttteo. if, as Governor Willard admits, there is a majority here of Douglas men, and should the result be to send his enemies to the Charleston Convention, what will the people at home say to such a A iolalion of their will. Governor Willard replied, explaining the his tory of the Convention over which be presided Ex-Governor Dunning sail that all appeals made for fairness are perhaps made in goad faith, but they wcro outside issues.
