I have not omen snob anxiety to be present mine the exalting days Of the great Le mrepton debate, as was maulfeeted to-clay by all limes of portions. Although it was well understood 'hat the Senate did not meet until one, and that Douglas would not speak probably until two to the ifternoon, yet as' early as tan (as soon as they bad breakfasted) groups of persons—wile 'determined to get seats—were wending their way through the teuelated corridors and spacionelobblea to the gal. kris°. At eleven the , galleries were full, and the tide of shi'and satin, oembrlo and crinoline, con tinued to pour through the labyrinth of avenues cud lobbies letulhkg to and _surrounding the donate chamber. Gay ribbons—of purple and blue, crimson and emerald, shining sable and soewy white were . streaming end floating .end flashing frays the hurrying heads of beauty, and bewilder-log.lhe eye like a dock at riehly4inted birds swaying- and swooping in the *cipher* of the troples.- - thef orowdeisoulteutilt to poor in until online but disappointed groups wore pressed around every door-way, and gallant beaux took the ocettelon to politely interest them .selves in attempting to obtain imaginary seats for the °harming coteries of attune°, into which their good fortune but too truly crushed them. tong before 12 o'olook every soot was occupied, and all the standing spews jammed, by far the largo majority being ladies, the gentlemen having given way to the fair enthusiasts, who desired to cheer, by their presence, the distinguished leader of pop ular sovereignty. The reporters' gallery was oleo taken possession of by the fair ones, which, added to the fact that a number of people of the other sex, not connected with the press, occupied a num ber of seats, made it dieloult for the regular re. eorters and correspondents to attend to their du ties. The mane was really most inspiriting, and Bent a thrill of pinnies through many who widely lifer with the Senator from Illinois. But there were others for whose vision it was the re verse of delightful or inspiring. I dare be went Senator Slidell, who entered so eautionsly and quietly, deem not relish it. He does not even look at it. He fats its influence, and ho does not con- . front it. Ills eyes are down. Nor does it sit lightly on the breast of Senators Green or Bright. The formeihes much to think of and to write, and he writes, although perohanoo he does not think of what he is writing, but of the un conquerable hold the Senator from Illinois tura on the hearts of the people. What other Senator or member of the lower House amid command ouch an audience ? For what other statesman alive this day in America would men leave their business and women crush their finery?.To hear what other man would three or four thousand pace pie sit in expectation for two hours before be com mended; and several hours 'after ? What other popular tribune can onipty the floor of the House while he fills the Senate galleries ? then queries, and the answers they neoesaitate, troubled many a Democratic Senator to-day. Even General Lane, with all his soldier generosity, does not teem to like It too well. The ablest men on thp other side, soh as Senators Crittenden, Seward, Collasuer, and Ressenden, pay close attention. Over a hundred members of the House gf Re presentatives are on the floor. They are of all polities, end agree only In their desire to hear the Giant of the West. Unconsciously, no doubt, many of them swell the tribute to his intellect and influence, which the galleries so freely shower upon his head. Prominent In that legislative line, which extend, on the outer range of desire, are all the anti-Leoompton men, of course. Has• kin vary satisfactorily leans against the door easement on the right; on the left Hickman seems in an anxiously receptive mood, while the white; hair of Major Soliverts enema get ting into a glow of anticipation. There, too, Governor Moltee, the moat notable re-opener of the glove trade, takes a whispered jokq from John P. Hale with good grace, and gives him a Roland for Me Oliver. Horace Maynard, Brabeon, Nelson, and others of the Tennessee delegation, are In pose session of a sofa; while on the other side Roger A.

The information is ape elan enough to be reliable;" and again, "Places ,14,1daryland,,Ohlo, and Pennsylvania bare been otouphed se depots and random:Om for thee* des. paraded, tinehetruoted bY guards, of elherivise, to invade this State, and wo a* kept' in continual apprehendon. of outrage from fire and rapine. I apprise you of these feuds, In order that you may take steps to preserve peace between the States." To. this eonuntmleation the President of the United States returned a reply, from whtoh I read the following sentence : "lam at a lose to d'seover an ormoston in the Con stitution or lawn of the United Mates which %mild au thorise me to tell s atop* for this purpose." `To pre serve the peace etween the ones.) This announcement produced a profound im pression upon the public) mind, and especially in the slaveholding States. It was generally received and regarded as an authoritative declaration that the Constitition of the United States confers no power upon the Federal Government to protect the several States of this Union against invasion from the other btatee. Dibrell net atop to inquire whether it was the meaning of the President to declare that the ex isting lame oonferred no authority upon him, or that the Constitution authorised Congress tq enaot no lowa which would anthoriso the Federal inter , Wattles to protect the States from invasion. My object is to raise the inquiry and ask the judgment of the Senate and the Howe upon the question whether it Is not within the power of Congress, and the duty of Congress, under the Constitution, to enact all laws whinh are nosessarf opd proper for the protection of each and every, State against In vasion, either from foreign Powers or from any portion of the 'United Staten. The dentel of the existenee of nuolva power 'in the Federal Govern meld has Indexed en inquiry amoneconserrative men—men loyist to the genstitudon and devoted to the 'Union—as to what dusaar of protection they have if the Federal Government is rug au- thorised to protoot them against °sternal violence. It must he conceded that no oommunity is cafe, and no State can ,enjoy pm* or prosperity, or demerit° tranquillity, without mutt, against external violence. Every State and Nation of the wOIII. I , outside of this geptiblio, is eupposed to maintain r!ratice and navies for t4is precise pur pose. It is the odiylegltitnate l iturpose for sthioh armies and navies are matttain in timer peace. They may be kept up for limb tanyttrpeees, for tbe purpose of aggression and foreign war, bdittie legitimate purpose of a military form In time of peace, is to insure domestic tranquillity against vio bMoo or aggression teem without their respeetive limits. The States of this Union would possess That pow er were it not for the restraints Imposed upon theta by the Federal Constitution. ' When that Consti tution was made, the States surrendered to the Fe deral Government the power to raietrand *wort armies; to provide and maintain navies; and not only surrendered the means of protection from in vasion, but consented to a prohibition upon them selves, which declared that 0 140 State shall keep troops or vend* of war ht time of pease." Wore their hands thus tied by the Constitution? and wore they thus stripped of all means of repelling amanita. or maintaining their own oedema, with out • a guarantee from the Federat - Government of the Union, to s..retect them against vio letme ? If the people of this country shall nettle down into the convietlen that thine is no power in the Federal Government, under the Con stitation, to protect each anti every State from vio lence, from artfireaske, and from oppression, they will demand that the cords be severed which thus bind them, and that the weapon, be restored to th el r hands with which they may defend lb ewe ve . This inquiry involves the question of the nape tulgt et the, Union. , The moans of defenoe, the meant of repdliog assaults, the means of Tooth'. tng againet [ovation. le a necessary condition for the safety and existence of the ptoten. Now; sir, I hope to be able to demoighste that there Ls no wrong in this Union for which the Con stitution of the Tinned States has not provided a remedy, I believe that I will be able to maintain that this Union furnishes a. remedy for any wrong wistob can be perpetrated within its borders, if the Federal Government performs its duty. T . o,,ink that a °motet artarnination of the Conelltution will clearly demonstrate dig the power Is conferred upon Congress— first, to Florida for the repelling of invasions from foreign countries; ancl eeoond, to protoot each State of this union ageinsi, Imsion from any other State, Territory, or place within the jariellotien of this Confederacy. I will first turn your arteutionsto the power conferred upon Conereat to protect the United States, including States, Territories, and the DletrieL of Columbia— Including every inch of ground within our limits and Sr:Agate tinn—against foreign invasion. In the eighth section of the first article of the Constitution yon win find that "Congress Omit have power to declare way, To.; Congress shall have power to raise and support ernsies3 Congress shall have power to provide and inaintesu a nays , ; Congress shall have power to make rides for the government and regulation of the land anti naval forces; Congress shall have power to provide for codling forth the militia, to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection, and repel Invasion." These yerions clauses confer upon Congress the power of using the whole military force of the country for Liao porpoaes epecified in the Con stitution, First. they provide ~t,;r the monition of the laws of the Union; second, to Inppresp insurrec tion. The insurrections referred to are inshrrec lions against the authority of the United States, insurrections against State authority being pro vided for in a subsequent section, in which oases the ilnitml States cannot interfere, except on the appliestthu of the State authority. The In vasion which is to 40 repelled under this clause of the Constitution ' ji on invasion of the United States. The imegnage " Con greas shall have power to provide fpr re pelling invasion." That gives the authority to repel the invasion, no matter whether the enemies laud within the limits of Virginia, within the Dis trict of Colombia, within the Territory of New Mexico, or anywhere eye within the Jurisdiction of theUnitod States. The power to protest every portion of the country against Invasion from foreign na tions having thus bean specifically oonforree, the framers of the Constitution proceeded to make guarantees for the protection of the several States by recline; enthority. I will read the 4th mitten of the 4th articles.), the Constitution : "The United .States shall guarantee to Rely State of this Union a republican form of government; shell protect each of them against invasion, and, on epplieation of the Legislature, or of the r.xeoutive when the Legidature cannot be convened, against domestic violunee." Thetleuee pontains three distinct guarantees. First, that the United States shall guaranty to story State of this Uniona republican form of government; emend, that the Ihdted kletes shall protect ouch of them 'against invasion ; Third, 04 the United States shall, on applioation of the Le gisletnre, or of the Executive when the Legisla ture cannot he convened, protect them against do mestic violence Wow, sir, I submit to you whe ther It is not dear: from the very language of the Constitution, that that clause was Inserted far the purpose of making it the duty of the Federal Gov ernment to protect each of the States against inva sion from any other State, Territory, or place within the Jurisdiction of the United States? For what other purpose pee that Manse inserted? The power and duty of protection ' as against foreign nations, bad already been orayided for. This clause occurs where there is a guarantee from the United States to each State, for the benefitOf *soh State, and neeersarily for the protection of each State from other States, inasmuch as the guarantee had been given preylously as against foreign na tions. If any farther evidence is needed to show that such to the true construction ef the Constitu tion It will be found in the forty-third number of The Federates:, written by James Madison. 'Ur. Madison copies this clause of the Constitution whiels I have read, giving these three guarantees, and, after dimualing the one insuring to each State a republican form of geyernment, proceeds to con sider the emend, whiob makes it the duty of the United States to protect each of the bt.atee egainst Invasion. Here is what be says upon that subject : A pr3feation against Memnon is doe fro avert so. .0)ell to the parts composing it.

' This number of the Peder set, whioh pep, quoted from, like all the others of that celebrated work, was written after the Constitution was made, acid before it was ratified by the States, and with a allepr of securing Its ratification, Ewe the pen. pie of the world States, when they ratified this instrument, knew that this clause was intended to boar the copstreotien which l now place upon it. It was intended to Waite it tho.dutyof 13yery society to protect each of its parts, the duty of the Federal Government to defend emit of the States, and be Faye the einalleat States ought net to be ineentible to the policy of this article of the Constitution. Then, I sir, if it be mode the Imperative duty of the Federal Goverment, by the express provisionof the Con stitution, to protect each of the States against in vasion or violence from the ether States, or from combinations of desperadoes within their limits, It oiseesearily follows that it is the duty of Congress to pass all laws requisite and proper to render that guarantee effectual. While Congress, in the early history of the Go. vermnent, did provide legislation which It is sup posed Is guff:dent to protect the United States against invasion from foreign countries, or the Indian tribes, It has failed, up to this time, to make any law for the protection of each of the States against invasion frog} within the limits of the Union. I em at a less how to amount for this omission. I presume that the reason is to be found in the feet that no Congress ever dreamed that such legislation would, at any time, inseam nmemarf for the protection of ens State of this Onion against invasion and violence from Its Oster States.

His argument cc to the power of Congress was nothing. new. No Senator was more umbels than himself to protect States from jpir.lon. On thst point ho agreed with the Senator from Illinois, but would nevelt this report of the ocinerelitee. Ifes deeded that the Repub. Roan party was reiponsiblo for the lierperee Ferry invasion. There was nothing now lu that charge.

The Senator from Illinois had /Me/opted to eastaiu hie charge by a reference to the /Teethes of Messrs. Lincoln and Seward. but none of the extracts bore him out. The language of the Senator from New York had bee! misinter preted. lie had bad the misfortune to become the author of a phrase which, if expressed in two or three phrases, would not have attracted attention. ft had never boon said that the free and slave Staten could not live together as friends. He be lieved that they could; but if free and Piave labor era wore brought together, on the same soil, theist would be antagonism. That wee what wee meant. Mr. DAM, of Mississippi, wished a clearer ex plonation. Mr. FERSENDEN said free labor elevated the la borer, while slave labor depressed and degraded him. When the two come together they antago nise. lie asked the Senator from Illinois a ques tion, to which Mr. DOUGLAS replied that Lis doctrine was that the Federal Government should exercise no power, dtreotly or Indirectly, to control, form, or other wise influence the domestic Institutions oe the States or Territories. Mr. FES/lI:MDR:C. That is only squatter 601re reignty—tho Senator's favorite doctrine. No one ever pretended that the Government aould inter fere with the institutions of the State'. Be con troverted the idea that a diversity of institutions was essential to the general prooperity of a eountry, and asserted to the fullest extent, that the Govern ment could not interfere with the institutions of the States. Any charge that the Itepubiloana fltvored this charge is unfounded. He asked if the Nene tor from Illinois had said that the Republicans not only wanted to repress the extension of slavery, but also to make war on slavery es it existed In the State/. Ur. Donnie. I did. Mr. FERSENDZW. I deny it. nomad not be found in the party creed. The Republican party had been formed to prevent the introduction of Slavery into free Territories. lie denied the right of Southern men to take slavery Into a Territory. unless the law there rooognisod slavery. He hated anti loathed slavery. but didnnt hate alaveholders. The object of the Northern Democrats was to in flame the South against all but themselves, so as to got into political power. lie wee opposed to els, very in the abstract, bet did not wish to Interfere with it where it existed. When it was charged that the Republicans were warring on the South, it should be recollected that they held the doctrines of the fathers of the Republic. The Senator from Virginia had admitted that the stews of Southern Men on slavery are not now what they wets. Mr. MASON said the South. after a full considera tion and experience, had arrived at the conelusion that slavery ennobled both races. The early father& were not Abolitionist'. They did not think It „preetiaable or expedient to abolish slavery. They thought that by cutting off the slave trade, slavery would die out of itself. The ordinance of 1747 wu ;timed at the slave trade. They thought that by reducing the area where slavery mild be used, the slave trade would be stopped. Mr. Vegan: max said the Senator bad admitted all he desired. The early men of this nation thought that by restrieting It, the institution of. slavery would die out They wanted It to die That is the position of the Republican party. The Senator from Illinois was Indifferent whether sla very was extended or net. Born in a free State, he preferred free institutions. not was the whole offence of the Republican party. We have been further told that if wo elect a 'roan of ottr views. regularly, and In a oonstltutlonal form, to the Pre sidency, the Union will be dissolved. While the Senator from Illinois is devising means to repress the invasion of one State by anotherpe might have suggested a provision for the threatened con tingency. Mr. Downs" said he had introduced his resole , non because the occasion called for it. It Is not necessary top at In a clause for the contingency re ferred to, no it was an event not within the probe , Whits. Mr. FatiIiENDEW said the Senator had great con• tldenoo in hie orn powers; it nee quite likely be had a higher opinitm of them than any one Clot. It was singular that they were constantly threat ened with what would be done in case of a certain event which is not likely to occur. The Inference ho drew wee, that the gentlemen on the other aide were quite apprehensive on the auhjeot. This talk of a d [isolation was a disease which appeared mu four yearn The people of the free Staten don't care about It. For himself, if the election of a Pre sident in the constitutional mode was to cause a dissolution of the Union, the sooner the gustation la settled the better. . • Mr. perinea said some men could not conceive of action flowing from patrlotio motives. He hod letheght to his resplution becapse be thought the time had 'arrived for practical legislation. He bad referred to the causes which had produced the out. rage, and 14(44 opt that they still existed. If 1 the Senators on the other side would vote for sorb a bill ache proposed, be would think a very great change had occurred. When they agreed to make conspiraoles to run off fugitive slaves a felony, he would think they had indeed changed. In the towns and cities of the North, where the Republi can!' had a majority, the fegitles•alave law could not be executed. Could It be executed in the term where the Senator from New York lived? Did they needled the Jerry reasue Mr. Fesseerite said be would go as fir as gay one to prevent nespireey in ope Quite to invade another. lle weld not say what he would do in regard to nosing o ff fugitives. De would meet that question when it arose. Mr. DOUGLAS. Why not punish the running off allay*. as well as the running offer horses? The impun)ty with which the mime of running off *laves lien hp penetratee ken; up the irritation. When it was made a penitenelery oftene to eons spire against property in another State, then we would get at the root of the evil. The Repahli• cans were no doubt ready to Tote for a law (air in Rs terms but not calculated to be eteolent In Ito operation. It was only necessary to refer to the Philadelphia platform to show the hostility of the Republican party, where slavery and polygamy are classed together as twin relics of 'barbarism, and the polygamist and slave- 1 ithieer Ire planed In the same category. He saw that the 'Repuldieshe Were lewerlegetheir flag. If ho could attrihete it to a good motive, he would be glad of It. Those Bring teethes' front the ne gro, and knowing the least about him, were the most solicitous for the poor alave In the Southern portione of the free elates which border 01 the slave State, you find a good feelfog existing emong the Inhabitants towards the domestic Institutions of their neighbors, because they know what the con dition of the slave Is, and in proportion as you go North the feeling against slavery lunettes Mr. Doeiseelf tbeg Again revered to Mr. Sowerd's speech to shoe/ that his interpretation of it was oorreot, and that be (Mr. Seward) main tained the doctrine that the Union could not exist half free and half slave. The object of the Re• publicans was to beer in slavery in order to smother it out or starve it out, or, as the French in Algeria nerved the Arabs when they retreated into their caverns—smoke them out The idea was to keep up agitation along the border States so as to render slave property Insecure, and drive it further South. 'Phep, when 'rintuelcy, by thin process, is made free, the same rystem Is to be pursued till slavery is extinguished. Ile quoted from lir. Soward's speech at Rochester, to show that be meant that the Irrepressible conflict must go on till there is either not one slave State left or all become elaveholding. In regard to the charge of Indifference en his pert whether the States adopted free or slave in stitutions, what he meant was that it was none of hie business whether the people of Kansas adopted freedom or slavery. It was their business, and life/ wetild act according to their wants He oppo sed slavery In Illinois Lecaute it was not adapted to the requirements of the people. Slavery would go where It could be profitably empleyed You could not keep it nut by enactment. Benet. adopted slavery in spite of the ordinance of Hee. and abolished It when it wee found that it did not suit. Slavery was a question of politind economy. and not a proper subject of legislation. The people Interested are the best judges. Ile wanted them to decide their institutions for themselves, and if they Were allowed tq parry ore their wishes, did not for himself oath how they decided. If& repelled the (there& that the liewurs•Nebraeks bill produced agitation. The preface! friends of the Senator from Maine sent desperadoes te gar sae, to create disturbanees and regulate the elections. It was jurt mole combinations that he wished to reach lie wasted the people to regulate their Miles in their own way. Gentlemen may call it squatter lovereigety, or what they pleased. The subject was then pistpened till half pest one o'clock to morrow, and the Senate adjourned. litileHE op REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. BARKHDALE, of Mirsheippl, said the House presents to the people of this ootertrt n wen. which hen but one prtallel in history. the House has been seven uerks in seenlen, and alteortgb ballot after ballot has been taken, no Speaker lieu been elected, and no organisation effected, while the great inundate of the country bays been totally neglected. The Democrats, South Ameri cium, and anti•Leoempton pieties, all professing to stand in an altitude of hostility to the Repub. Deans, should unite to defeat the mind Hate of the latter. The Democrats have manifested every dtsw.sltien th pith with the South Americans and autt-Leciomptoultes ou 4 entiorel basis, until their spirit of conoillatlon has been ex heustod. The South Americans have presented Mr. Gilmer—a gentleman who could never be acceptable to him, (Mr. Barksdale.) Mr. Oil• nor, if elected, must be supported by keno of the Republicans. He (Mr. Barksdale) would vote for no teen who eommerciod hlinsell to the censide• ration of that patty. lie did not doubt Mr. Oil. morel loyalty to the South, but could not endorse Lie political conduct. Rather than that a nominee of the Republican party should he eleoloil—a man who had received no vote from fifteen of the Slates of this Union ; rather than have his State and soce tlon dishonored by the election of Mr Mermen— he would repeat the 4660104 w of Mr. Puth, of Alabama : "Let discord reign item forever." Ile proceeded to give a history of the origin, proems, and present aspect of the slavery ques lon, whieb prevents the organisation of the House. Mr. CORWIN, of Ohio, was called out by a remark of Mr. Barksdale Halal he knew of no Repub lican who would go so far as to say that if a slave• holding territory be acquired by treaty, as in the ease of Louisiana, and provision be made therein, that the people thus transferred should be admit ted into the Union with all their rights of property which they then held—he knew of no Republican who would say that suoh a treaty was nut In ao oordenee with the provisions of the sepeeme law of the land, and should not be carried into offset. Mr. BARK.DALI SSW Is there a Republican who favors the Requisition of eleveholdlng tory? Ile would tile to ask whether Mr. Sherman was In favor of such a measure? • • Dlr. Cuirrts, of lowa, as a Republioen, answered that at tide time ha would he opposed to the acquisi tion of elaveliolding territory, on the ground - that wo hare too muela of it already. The question, how ever, might slim, whether we should nequtro a portion of Mexico or of Cuba. But the question does not now oxist, and may not fora long period of time. Mr. Bauxanatu. The gentiotnan from lowa Is not a fit representative of the Republican party. (Laughter . 1 Mr. Crusty. I beg the gentleman not to read too out of the Republican party. (Laughter I Mr. II tnitanAt.E. Lot Mr. lovek.y. of Illinois, %peak. Let him bo put on the gland; or Mr. Hawes, of Massachusetts, or 11r. Hutchins, of Ohio, or Mr. Gooch, of Massachusetts. I will take Mr. Tappan, of New Hampshire. Lot hint speak for the Republican party. Some say select Mr. Hickman; but lie can't ark for any party. (Laughter.) Scarred and Mitered Ea if, I would not strike him. The epublioans do not la tend to rote fur the acquisition of any mare playa territory. They oan elect you (turning to :14 Corwin) Speaker; bet they terns° to do it; and you aro hostile enorgh toslayary, In all conscience, (Laughter.) In the oourse of his remarks, he said ho would resist the Inauguration of a Republican President. The South know what their right' are under the Constitution, and are resolved, at ail hatards ant to the last extremity to defend them. In ease of dissolution of the Union, the South would have nothing to fear, and would have the sympathy of the world, boome they would be lu the tight. Mr. Conn'lN humorously said that his object was to move that the House proceed to a ballot. They had done each things before, with, be admitted, very little success If ever the 'louse wan orga nized, It zuwt be by voting. Laughter If the gentleman front Mississippi, (Mr. Barksdale,) who had Advocated secession in the event of the eitto tins of a Republican President, should be elected Speaker, he (Mr. Corwin) promised to stay in the Union. iLaughter 1 This farce, which we have been acting here for seven weeks—very much to the amusement of the nand:ion' themselves, end sometimes to the disturbance of the temper of gen tiomen—had begun to be, in the minds of the peo ple, rather a serious matter. Every gentleman should, therefore, conscientiously begin to think whet he shall do: He wee reminded by a friend the other day that there wee something in the election of Speaker more than they supposed— namely, that, in a certain event, the Speaker might beoomo President. Ile confessed he was puzzled a little by the suggestion. It might be so; but he did not think that thin should be Incorporated into their thonghts as one of the oontiogenolos. It wee not probable that either the President or Vice President would be amiable enough to die that the Speaker might succeed to their place. (Laughter.l Ile did not know. however. what Providence hu (a store for us. Ile did not know why Helper's book ehonid be driven into their line of thoughts. It might be the Product of the liberty of the pross, which is called la 0414 / language, " the palladium of oar liber ties " No free government In modern times has ex isted without a free proms, Bo we must be content to take the freedom of the press, as we have It with all Its abuses as well Re the blessings which tow from its use. He thought the exeltement growing out of the consequence, of that book had been greatly overrated Ile knew It bad been said that the book shown the disposition of the North •to In terfere with the Beath. How? Was It not written by a man who was reared in North Carolina, where he resided till he name North? Who Is to blame if we trace back effect to its caner It was said that Mr. Seward bad made ear tats speeches, the effect of which Waa, with the Helper book, the invasion of Virginia by twenty three men headed by John Brown. But he re peated. if North Carolina had not bred up this man Helper, we never should have had the Helper book. No Northern man bed written such a book, and if be had, is It possible that any in stitution-of the South, with such an enlightened community. could have been overthrown by it? if the gentlemen had met here on the sth Deeena , bar, all Interested In somejoint stock oompanyerith a capital of ten millions, and they could not pro eaed to huinew till they. had appointed a chair , min. did any one think slavery would have en tered into their deliberations at all ? The ques tion would have been, whore 13 the dividend / show us that. Show tie the books. This is our business. Now, then, let gentlemen isonsidar how to begin. Suppose they go about th e baldness which interested them all. Lot them administer the rich *gate bequeathed by their fathers. lie did not despair or Ms country yet tattles inch an example of Intentness 43 the rest of the world might envy.' The litical blessines we enjoy lite of to be weighed into boluses with the Speaker ship. History would not allow them to be de (mired. While it was said that Mr. Seward was the Devil, who leach the beets of rebels, he bed never tittered a sentiment more offensive to the South than had Jefferson, the apostle of human li berty. It was known that Wubinston himself al ways said that he wistual, If possible, to abolish slavery throughout the United States. lie humor ously alluded to the Bible arguments which had bun prodneed on the question of slavery, saying, do not let us dissolve the Union on the different in terpretations of that Book. What they derived from it Wall that the existing institutions should be obeyed by ell good citizens, and that wu the ad vice of the apostles. Their religion did not over turn governments, but searched Into the wick ed deeds of men. Unleu we uphold the laws we shall have anarchy ; hence the Republican doo trine that they should be obeyed. He asserted this with atoll sense of his reeponsibility ; but not u a major general, or even ea a corporal of that party. He humorously spoke of Noah and his three sons, and proceeded to prove that as Item, the father of the Africans, was the brother of Shem, who is our original progenitor, eo the white man is really the cousin of the negro. So, it would be men, they rte some curtins reflections We should look anise black man as he Is, and the white menu be Is. He maintained that we are the happiest people in all the tidy of tints. There are thirty millions of no, who, having nit foreign foe to disturb to, improperly become excited among ourselves. Up to 1850, the Democrats, at well as the Republicans, were in fayor Of exerting the Congressional power to keep slavery out of the Territories. He poseeeded to show that the palli ate of 1187, in disposing of. thiVlrginis Northwest cession, provided for eve Statue to which there should ha neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude except fqr crime. The Republicans are acting pre cisely as did the men of those times. If the latter believed that slavery was a divine Institution, they would not have passed that ordinance. They were laying the foundation of a great emplre, and there. fore comprehended the great work in all it. hear ings. -They, unlike the politicians of the present day, aeted and spoke with atnearity. Buppue that other territory be Inquired by the common blood and treasure, the say they would exeinde slavery from that, as our Revolutionary fathers did from the Northwest, and were they then to be told that they were eubrerting the institutions of the country by such patriotic example? Me believed if there were a few such men here now the House would be organized in one day. In, following the example of these old gentlemen, let any flue Inure to him that their father. were wrong In their legis lation on this subject. He referred to the acqui sition of Louisiana and Florida, remarking that he did not Icy it wee the wise Tolley of our father, to disturb the property In slaves in territory wbete it existed when it wen acquired, but Slavery was Permitted to remain where It existed, and where It did not exist they prohibited it. [His remark, were for the most part inaudible in the reporters' gallery, but the abore is believed to embrace his principal points. Adjourned. PENNSYLVANIA.
