We have now practically, in this country, what may be considered two rival Govern ments-4e old Union and the new one; and without recognizing the right of the latter to a legal existence, it is curious to contrast their wonderful difference in the only point which could give a reasonable excuse for the disseverance of the nation. We allude to the pretext that the Federal Government is, or possibly may be, unjust and tyrannical in its treatment of the ce Confederate States." No one who stops to inquire for a moment how our National Government has acted towards the Cotton States since the Secession move went commenced, on the one hand, and how the leaders of that movement, on the other, have acted cowards the people over whose des tinies they have assumed complete control, can fail to be deeply impressed with the forbear ance, gentleness, and liberality of the former and the tyranny, oppression, and disregard of the interests, wishes, and feelings of a large minority, of the latter. He who, in the seceded States, attempts to rebel against their self constituted leaders, to earnestly remonstrate against their hasty and infamous conduct, or to refuse implicit obedience to their exacting decrees, may consider himself fortunate if a drum-head court-martial does not speedily or der him to be killed, or a Secession mob hang him up without trial upon the nearest tree. Coercion of the worst kind marks every step of the progress of the Southern Con&deracy. Gaining a little color of authority at the out set, by the votes of a deluded people, at a time when their passions were artfully in flamed, and their sober judgments led astray or silenced by intimidation, step by step the citizens are being bound hand and foot; and without a fair chance of expressing their wishes, or, indeed, of fully comprehending the measures of those who assume to be their masters, radical political changes are made as rapidly as Governments were destroyed and constructed in revolutionary France be lore the advent of the great NAPOLZON, while a system of terrorism akin to that of ROSES PTEHRE, DANTON, and RABAT is resorted to to stifle the popular voice, and to suppress criti clam and opposition. Yet these are the men— with their hands reeking with the guilt of a spoliation of the revenues and the pub lie property of our Government, their con , sciences seared with the crime of violating their solemn oaths to support it, and their whole movement based upon the most shameless and reckless disregard of the wishes and sentiments of a large portion of the peo ple they assume to control that was ever wit nessed in a republican country—that start the cry of tyranny against oar own lenient and beneficent Federal Government, and de nounce even the slightest attempt to enforce its unquestionable legal rights and powers as a terrible species of despotism. The Pennsylvania Farm School. This institution is located in Centre county, and was incorporated in 1855 by an act of Assembly, for the purpose of building up a system of agricultural instruction, in which manual labor should be associated with study. It was located by a board of trustees appoint ed to select a site, and in 1857 the Legislature voted an appropriation of $25,000 to erect Imildings, and an additional $25,000 on condi tion a like sum was raised, (there having been $25,000 In addition to two hundred acres of land subscribed at the time of the act,) anti $21,000 of the last appropriation has been re ceived, making $46,000 received from the State, and, including the land donated, about $58,000 from other sources. All this money has been expended for the - purpose implied in the act, and an additional debt of s2s,ooo.in curred, and it is estimated that it will require over $25,000 more to complete the college buildings, which, when finished, will enable the institution to admit from three to lour hun .dred students. At present only about one hundred can be accommodated, and that number bag been in attendance since February, 1859, at which time the school opened. The difficulties en countered in carrying it on with its buildings incomplete, and with lumber, stones, bricks, debris, &c., surrounding it, are very great, and, in addition to this, a debt of 525,000 has been incurred, which is sufficient to sacrifice the In stitution entirely if aid is not speedily afforded it. In order to place it upon a proper footing, the trustees have applied to the Legislature for- aid to discharge its debt, and to complete its buildings. Governor Pauses., who had visited the in and knew its necessities and its merits, earnestly recommended it to the favor of the legislature, and the present Governor, In his inaugural, concurred in the Triendly re marks of his predecessor. The trustees ask for 650,000, as the smallest sum that can be made available for the completion of the buildings and meeting the debt of the institu tion already incurred for bringing its buildings to their present state. - They have had a hearing before the Com mittee of Ways and Means, and it has report ed in laver of their bill, and the question will soon be brought before the Legislature. Aa this is a noble undertaking, and one in every way worthy of the patronage of our great State, we hope that our Legislature may save it from ruin, and render it efficiently active for the purposes designated in its act of Incor poration. The Commerce of New Orleans. There have been various contradictory state ments published in regard to the effect of the Secession movement upon the commerce of New Orleans, and the extent of the trade of that port daring the present year, as contrast ed with previous years. We have now before ns a New Orleans commercial circular, dated March 9, 1861, giving a tabular statement of business operations in =my articles, from September 1, 1860, to March 8, 1861, and from September 1,1859, to March 8, 1860; which shows the following results: The ex portation of cotton for the present season amounted to 1,399,900 bales, and during last season to 1,426,400 bales. The exportation of tobacco, during the present season, amount ed to 18,473 hogsheade, and last season to 22,276 hogsheads. The exportation of sugar and molasses, all of which was sent to Ameri can ports, Sightly exceeds the exportation last year. The exportation of flour, this sea son, amounted to 304,035 barrels, and last season to 209,421 barrels. The exporta tion of pork, this season, was 8,615 barrels, and last season 25,700 barrels. The exports of lard this season were 188,968 kegs; last season, 181,866 kegs. The imports of agricultural productions into New Orleans have nearly all been di minished, except corn and flour, of which large quantities have probably been necessary for distribution among the Cotton States, at points where the last crops had tailed. The imports of specie during the present season amounted to $12,605,203, and during the last season to $5,819,481. The amount cotton received, exported, and on liand,liConside rably leas than last season. There walla much smaller umber of vessels in the port` than at the same season during either of the six pre eedieg years, as will be seen by the following table: COMPARATIVE NUMBER OF V l / 8 19FIM.

The Caiifornia Pony Express. Most newspaper readers Dave become fa miliar with the heading which makes its appearance throughout the country twice a week, entitled. "Three Days' Later News from California! Arrival of the Pony Ex press!" and with the announcement of an ar rival of a California steamer, being accom panied by the remark, "News Anticipated by the Pony Express." But, while a few may be acquainted with the nature of the enterprise which gives them the "News from the retitle" so much quicker now than formerly, the great mass of the peo ple are, probably, ignorant of the particrilars of an undertaking which may be classed among the most extraordinary of modern times. Fifteen years ago, before the gold discoveries, which caused such a memorable influx of population into California from all parts of the world, the only means of reaching San Fran deco, which was then a comparatively unim portant settlement on the Pacific coast, was by aailingvessels, fitted out for trading voyages to that part of the world, and the passage from any Atlantic port usually occupied six months or more, according to the nature of the outfit and the number of stoppages necessary for commercial purposes. As travel increased, however, other and quicker modes of convey ance were required than slow sailing ships to speed the gold-seeker to his deathiation. A number of steamers were soon employed in the passenger business to Chagres, on the Atlantic coast,-and from Panama to San Fran cisco on the Pacific, reducing the time of pas sage from Northern ports to torty days. But, during the laat few years, the trip from NOw York or Philadelphia has been made in twen ty-three days. 9 his was considered very quick time, in comparison with former years, and the public were disposed to rest satisfied with it until the completion of a railroad or tele graph across the country—although the date of such an event was so remote in the minds of most - people as not to enter largely into the expectations of the present generation. This is an age of progress, however, and American enterprise is without limit. Mr. Russet/. conceived the idea of running a horse express from the Missouri river, to San Francisco, dirtying letters in ten days' time, and telegraphic messages in eight days. The route he proposed to use was known as the cg Central route to California," shorter, by 800 miles, than the one at that time used by the Overland Mail Company, but passing through such a rough wilderness as to be con sidered impracticable for purposes of trans port, even by old mountaineers who had, by a life-long experience, been Inured to the hard ships incidental to that 'region. The idea be coming extensively known throughout the country, was ridiculed by a great many for its absurdity, and some of, his friends remelt. strated with him for his folly in undertaking a project which, they thought, would surely entail upon him a large pecuniary loss. No thing daunted, hoivever, by the sneers of un believers or the remonstrances of friends, be proceeded to dirty into execution his favor ite project, and, on the 20th February, 1880, despatched an agent to the Pacific to stock the Western division, build sta tions, and supply rations and forage from Sacramento to Salt Lake City, at the same time sending out competent men to make similar arrangements from St. Joseph, Mo., to Salt Lake City, on the Eaatern division of the line ; and on the third day of April, If3Bo, the worst season of the year in that section of country, the first expresses started simultane ously from St. Joseph, Missouri, and San Francisco, California, carrying letters to either point in the remarkably short Blame of nine days and six -hours, thus making the first, or trial trip, inside of ten days, and establishing, beyond question, the practicability of the route and the enterprise, which old mountain eers had ridiculed. This great undertaking was organized and put into execution in forty-three days from the time it was determined upon, and'during that period the agent of Mr. Ens- SELL, who superintended the Western division, or Pacific slope, travelled from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Californians were exuberant with joy ; the pony and his rider, on their arrival at San Frenetic°, were received with the firing of guns and colors flying ; the ladies adorned the pony with their bonnet ribbons, and the people generally congratulated them.. selves on the success of the project, which brought them so much nearer to their old homes, relations, and friends. The California Pi..ny Express soon became a fixed fact, for once a week regularly the pony departed and came, very rarely exceed ing schedule time, which was ten days, and often running in less. The number of horses employed in this ser vice is about five hundred, chosen for their speed and endurance, and the riders for their light weight, as well as for their intrepidity and experience in the hardships of frontier life. The stations are built at intervals of twenty five miles on this side of the Rocky Montt tains, and west of that at intervals of ten miles. Each station has two or more occu pants, whose duty it is to guard the building, take care of the stock on hand, and have ready a fresh horse to take the mail on its arrival, and carry it another stage on the way to its destination. Each horse and rider travel twenty-flve miles at one time, at a rate of speed varying from ten to fourteen miles per hour. The riders are furnished with time tables, and are required to use their at_ most endeavors to comply with the schedule. If for any reason they are detained on the road between stations, they are required to make up the loss of time by an ineiease of speed so far as it is in the power of the ani mal. The express has been run with great regu larity considering the obstacles it has had to contend with. Last summer, about the mid dle of June, the Indiana commenced to be very troublesome. They destroyed nearly all the stations west of Salt Lake City, killed some of the riders and station-keepers, and ran off all the stock they could find be longing to the company. From the first of July until about the commencement of Sep tember the expresa was, to a great extent, discontinued between Salt Lake City and Car lson City, a town west of the former place. Letters, however, continued to be received at the extreme ends of the routes, although in limited quantities, which accumulated at the 'above places ready for forwarding as soon as a coesation of the Indian troubles would al low it, or sooner it a rider could be found bold enough to run the risk of being shot or scalped by the savages, who were always on the watch for such an opportunity. A very thrilling incident occurred during these troubles, at a place two hundred miles from Salt Lake, which will serve to illustrate the danger then to be feared in that wild re gion. Four of the company's employees were engaged in rebuilding a station which had been destroyed by the Indians. It was early in the morning; two of the men were asleep in a hut on the summit of a small hill, and the others in a tent at the foot of it. A band of Indians prowling around, chanced to discover them. Observing those in the hat before the others, they firoci in upon them, killing one instantly and wounding the other in the leg. The latter immediately started down the hill, shouting to those below to save them selves, as the red skins were after them. Jumping up and seizing their pistols, the three started for a run across the plains, with the In dians in hot pursuit and yelling like so many fiends. The waned ran together for 'some distance, and bade fair to make good their es cape, when the wounded one cried out that he could go no farther. One of his COMpalniOns, a very poweifhl, athletic fellow, took him on his back, and so continued his flight, although at such a slow rate that their pursuers were fast gaining upon them. The wounded man, seeing this, begged to be left to himself, as he did not wish to be the cause of the other's capture. He only stipu lated for the loan of the pistol his friend had with him. Very reluctantly his request was complied with, when, without a moment's he sitation. placing the pistol to his head, he blew out his brains, preferring such a fate to the one in store for him, as be knew it was the custom of those tribes to torture their prison era before killing them. The remaining two employees succeeded in reaching a station about ten miles distant, where, with those al ready stationed at that paint, they considered themselves safe against any attack from the enemy. l he agent of the Ennio Company at Salt Lake finally raised a band of a hundred men, and being provided with arms and am munition from one of the United States Go vernment stations, started out to put an end to these disturbances, and teach the Indians a lesson likely to last them until the General Government Bent force 211 z:s3 enough to make it entirely effectual. The expedition had the desired effeet—the Indians were routed whenever met with, a great many killed, and finally they bedaree ix) Submissive as to canto no further apprehen sion. The express again resumed its trips, and has since run with great regularity. During four months of the year, from De cember to April, the difficulty of travelling is much. inereased by the heavy snows which prevail over a large portion of the route. In some sections for several miles the snow is piled up to a depth of twenty-seven feet. To obviate this difficulty, the company all the winter long have had on hand at such places a sufficient force of men and ox teams to keep the road packed. The method of doing this is to turn on the reams after the snow haS fallen abobt two feet and keep them travelling baCk and forth till it is packed hard, and after two feet more has fallen to de the same thing Over again, and no on until a good hard road is formed . between walls of snow as high as a two-story house. When the enterprise was first started letters were forwarded but once a week and the rate Of postage wax five dollars ior one half ounce. Soon after, a semi-weekly mail was established and the rate fixed at two dollars and fifty cents a quarter ounce, at which price and re gulation the express is still running. The title of the company that manages this enterprise is the "Central Overland California and Pike's Peak Express Company," and its main business consists in running a line of ex press and passenger coaches to • the Pike's Peak gold region. Their starting points from the eastern end are Leavenworth City, Kansas, and St. Joseph, Missouri, end they take pas sengers through, to Denver City, in the te. markably short apace of five and one half days, which is a strong contrast with the time when twenty days for the Same distance wan considered a quick trip. On the first of July next, or before, this company will start a daily line of coaches to Salt Lake City, carrying the United States mail, where they will con nect with the t" Overland Mail COmpany," which will tan to 'Placerville, in California. They will also continue their pony express, reducing the price of postage, however, to one dollar per half ounce, and making the time from the Missouri river to San Francisco in ten day*, the year through. About the tenth day of April next the pre sent schedule of fifteen days, from St. Joseph to the Pacific, will be reduced to the former time of ten days; the rate of postage will also be reduced to two dollars for half-ounce let ters, postage pre-paid. The Virginia Convention still continues in session. A proposition was made yesterday to substitute the Sohthein Constitution. rablfc Amoseineute. HANDEL AND HAYDN SOOYSTY.—H would be too sweeping an assertion were we to say that this So ciety never had a more pleasing, gratifying, and successful performance than that of last night; but we may safely affirm that it is the best we have heard In our now four years' experPmcf. of their ability. An Oratorio, a The Seven Sleepers," by Dr. G. lonwe, the musical composer, with the words translated from the German of Professor Glesebricht, was given, for the first time in this city, we believe. There was the freshness of no velty, aided by excellent singing, and well-dbmi- Vinod instrumentation. The_ subloct le the well known legend of the Greek Church, (admirably related by Gibbon and Mrs. Jamieson,) of the seven young Christians of Ephesus, who were ebut up in a cavern by the pa gan and persecuting Emperor Deolus, In the mid:. die of the third century; airc&e, one hundred and eightviseven years later, in the reign of the Em peror Iheodindus IL who protected Christianity and died soon ater. We give the plot of this Oratorio - from the Evening Bullettn, because it is very clearly put in that paper: The scene is laid daring the reign of the Empe ror Cecina, (A. D. 250,) a fierce persecutor of all who bad embraced Christianity. among the lat ter were seven orphans of noble birth, belonging to Ephemer t who, in order to escape the fury of the tyrant, lied into a spacious cavern for security. When, however, the Emperor ascertained their re treat, he gave orders that the entrance should be firmly walled up with huge stones; and the Chris tians immediately fed into a deep slumber, which, according to the legend, was miraculously porolong ed, without injuring the poWers of life, during a twirled of one hundred and eighty-seven years. In this long lapse of time, wonderful changes had been effected. Paganism was no longer trinmpbant, and.phristianity was protected by the then reign ing mperor, Theodosius 11. Antlpateir, the Pro consul, and his wife Bonorla, conceive the idea of sending to the cavern where the raven brethren were known to have beenimmeireal—with a view to a decent Interment of their remains. Aided by a email body of shepherds, the walls aim graduahy removed—those engaged in the task singing a chorus. They ate soddenly startled by a vcioe of one of the interred brethren, singing : " Lord, thou halt been our &wailing-place in all gene rations!" and, as the stones- are one by one removed, the light of day, breaking into the cave, awakens the rest of the sleepers. Soon after, the youngest of their number, -Malobus, is sent out to procure bread Ile 00731e9 upon a ChT hilEl42 army, about to engage in n war with the Persians, and his astonishment at the prevalence of the Christian faith, as well as at the marvellous changes on all aides, is unbounded. On the other hand, his strange dress and speech excite the suspicions of the soldiery,-who suppose him a Persian spy, and amid the consequent confusion and annoyance, Malehus escapes, and proceeds to the house of a baker. Hare he offers in payment for some breed, a piece of money called a solidus, current in the times of Beeline, but now antiquated and out of nee. Supposing from this that be le in possession of se cret treasure, they carry him before the proconsul, Antipater, who hears Ma whole story—is at first ineredalouebut finally summons his followers, and proseeds to the cavern, where the story of Malohus is substantiated. The Seven Sleepers are urged to accompany the people to Ephesus, but they simultaneously feeling , their end approach ing, decline. Bare they are supposed to aspire, and the oratorio ends with a aplondid chorus. The instrumental opening, not overlong, repro sci.te the dawn of day, and was beautifully ren dere4 A chorus of shepherds was very llusy and we may say the same of the whole choral per formanees -in the Oratorio, but particularly that magnificent' piece with which it' Conclude& But, to our taste, the great effects of the .evening were the singing of the brothers in the cave, in.

Jarvis' alto voles came well Into , play in the comparatively small part allotted to her. Mr. Clover, as Martians the Bishop, had not much to sing, but his full bass oame In most creatively. The principal tenor' and soprano, Mr. G. W. Ha'. zelwood and Mire Henrietta. Shaw, (Antipater the proconsul, and Renor a, his wife,) were fully equal to what they had to sing. This Oratorio is full of dramattc effect—though not at all theatrical. There is no tinsel, no mere ornatrienteUlon in it, but beautiful mule, greeting and eireetive, with many variations of eentlment and feeling. We strongly recommend its early repetition. The Germania Orchestra assisted the Choral Society on this °cession, and we need not say how eifieleutly Mr. M. H. Oren presided at the piano, and Mr. B. Can Cross was the efficient direotor of the whore performance, and great pains bad evi dently been taken to make it tboraughly good lu all points. The only drawback to the complete enjoyment of the Oratorio was that the lads whore business it is to sell the programmes would walk about the Hall (Musical Fund) in the noisiest manner while the solo singers were keeping the audience in the most breathless delight of listening. With this exoeption, which is no fault of the Br eiety 'teen; all went off gloriously. The, hall WBB very nearly filied—which is a great deal in Pas sion-week.

I am indebted to Colonel Trott, the able and po lite chief clerk of the Post Office Department, for the following important information concerning the recent disastrour ooeurterioe on the Pennsyl vania Centred Railroad. To give a list of all the letters destroyed in the mail begs Is impossible. The baggage master in charge of the mall car, burnt on the night of the 20th instant, near Root ingdon, on the Pittsburg and _Palled.'Ma route, reports to the Department that he left Pittsburg at 4 23 P.

Mr. Breckinridge, having been rather milled out by Dougllm' speech the daP before,- replied at length. This was the first time that the two emi nent gentlemen met together as opponents in de bate. Mr. Breokinridge , was careful not to allude to the late Presidential struggle, declaring that he would have the past veiled with oblivion. Re pa. eitively stated that, though he bad been in favor of the Kansas bill, he always had believed that Territorial Legislatures had no right to prohibit slavery. Re farther denied the truth of Dougla-' assertion that the Republicans bad yielded. If tiiey did not do so soon, he was certain that within six months all the Border Stater would be out of the Union lie couhselled the withdratial of the troops from Southern forts. Rim speech contained nothing new, and ties rather a weak effort, many Of his Mende being not entirely satisfied with this display of his oratorical ability. Judge Douglas then replied, defending the true meaning of the Kansas bill. Re ehowed that the Republicans had rece4ed from the Wilmot Proviso; and that the South had now all the righte in the Territories she ever asked for. It was evident, on all aides, that Mr. Breokinridge Is not Meng enough to debate with Judge Douglas. The latter tore his (B.'s) arguments to pieces, though =be spoke very oalmly. Re emphatically declared his preference for the Union under a Republican Admi• nistration, before disunion with all its reputed ad vantages. There was no pretext to dissolve the Union, as far as the Territorial question was con. oerned. His eloquent remarks were listened to with marked attention by the crowded galleries. KAPPA. A oorrespondent ob.leoto to the retie it leglkiation in regard to the tonnage tax heretolore imposed upon freight passing over the Pennsylvania Rail road, and says : Conceding, for the sake of the argument, that the tonnage tax should have been repealed , be• cause the corporation collected that tax from the shippers, and thus subjected a portion of our citi seas to pay largely, in this indirect way. towards the liquidation of the State debt, while , ether branches of industry, were exempted, Slid, how ever, dose not remove the ugly feature of the bill.

To the Telanguiehinent of Otte claim, which the Legislature has done there it moon opposition among the people of id parties. No man can justify it upon principle. the injus ties and inequity of it are so manifest that no ape oial pleading can cover it, and bow the bill eould ever pass the Legislature, or obtain the signature of the Governor, in this shape, is a mystery. - It is said the company le bound to make branch roads with this money. Suptiose it is so applied, the roads, when ootapieted, will belong to this bor. proration, and what right have they to use the monies of the Commonwealth to make improve. meats for their own benefit? • The point which our correspondent •has made was answered by Senator McClure, In the speech he delivered on the 26th of February, as follows : "Equally fallacious Is the assumption of the Se nator from Northumberland, that the company le to pocket the accrued tax It has been collected wrongfully and after the State had enaaed fit repeat.

He be lieved 'that the present was full of hope from both sectiions for a lair and final settlement.

The Senate resumed the consideration of Mr. Don'ts' regalia u hir BRECECIPIEIDGIi, of Kentucky, replied to Mr: Douglas' remarks of yesterday. He regretted that the Senator had seen proper to VIAL his Criti cism on the brief tad unpretending remarks he had the honor to offer. That banter took occasion to go over a good deal of the ground heretofore . - very thoroughly argued,and exhausted relative to the 'Territorial question, and particularly the Ken sea bill, and had declared that the Republicans have abandoned their distinctive principles; and the Senator had, by implication, associated him with the views he ,, (Mr. Douglas) held on that subject. It was true that be (Mr. 3reckinridge) was an advocate, of: the Kansas bill. He voted fOr it in the House Of Representatives, and defended its principles as be understood them, and as they were understood by Southern gentle. men and a respectable number In the Northern States. The friends of the measure differed on c3ne point. It was the question of Territorial power. He did the Senator from Illinois the judo, to say that the latter had 'uniformly held that the Terri torial Legislature, pending their Territorial condi tion; had the power to exclude slavery. Ae (Breckicridge) entertained a different opinion. Failing to agree on that point, the friends of the bill agreed to make it a subject of judicial and not of legislative determination. If any prima plea were settled, he understood them to be three —first. that the Territorial question should be In suSordination to the Constitution of the United States; secondly, that the subject of slavery in the Territories was to be determined by the judiciary; and third, that all should acquiesce in the &olden When rendered_ In his opinion, a judicial decision was rendered in acoordattoe with these views. Alt he meant to declare wee, that, while he was a friend of the Kansas bill, he never held to- the authority and power of the Legiala tore, pending the Territorial modifies, to exelude property In slaves. The Senator from Illinois bad said that he had committed a great error in saying that the'Republicans bad never abandoned any of their essential principles. Was it notstrange that the Senator from Illinoia alone was aware of such en important fact? Were Virginia and the ob -atinate Confederate Stat. a aware of this fact? And he might ask whether the Republicans themselves were aware of it? It was glorious news, if it was true Would it were.so. No man would hail it with greater delight than himself. What was, the evidence of this gnat conversion? Some weeks ago the Territories of Nevada, Colo rado, and Dakotah were organized by Congress, without saying anything in regard to African ser vitude There was nothing in this to show that the Republioans have abandoned their essential principlee They did not possess the power to pat an anti-slavery provision in those bills. It was said here by the Republicans that they felt no risk in the omission, and if they had supplied it the Pieeident would have vetoed the bills. hence the Republiosna were anxious to have the Territories oisanited, that they might have a share of the GovernMent patronage in the appOintesent of offi cers. And this wag heralded to the world to show that the Republicans have performed , a patriotic duty and abandoned their essential Principles, and that the South have obtained more than they ever asked for ! He would ask the Republicans here whether they had abandoned any distinctive prin ciple of their platform? llztr, Cora...smart, of Vermont, replied—Not that we are aware of Mr. BEXCEIVECIDGE, resuming, said he would net oontribute to deceive his conatitstents With the idea that the Republioans have abandoned their ,essential principles, when he knew they had not. There was no Republioan who would say that they had given up one word of the platform on which ,the Administration was brought into power. Be would have no part in practising deception on the people of Kentucky to say that the South have got more than they claimed. It was premature, and calculated to mislead. It seemed to him that the Republican party was hardening and consolidating .every day, and one of the calamities of the times 'was its arraying itself In a solid phalanx on its die tinetive.prinolples in the Rom of tremendom events. If it gives up a fort, it does so with tears, and declares this is done, not for civil, but for military reasons In the Government, the most radical and aggressive men have been SO looted Tor the Cabinet—for foreign miesione—for Senators and other offices. The Senate bad been confirming every day men who have trampled the Constitution under foot, and refused to recognise the obligation to return fugitives from labor—men who had boasted, on the fluor of the Rouse of Re presentatives and elsewhere, that they bed been personally concerned in a ronning off slaves. This evidence looks in any other direction than that of yielding any of the aggressive or diminotive ,features of the Republican party. This is the 'cause which has sundered the Confederacy, and if it be not remedied will sunder it still more Re charged that the purpose and design of the Republican organization is to exclude, directly or indirectly, from every Inch of the common ter ritory, every citizen of every Southern State, who desires to carry thither his slave property. In other words, the Republicans donut intend that slave property shall be recognized in any territory of the Unite dSuttee. These are the principles of the Republioans, and unless the people drive them from power, they irIU carry them into execution. We have been looking since the 4th of March on a dismembered Confederacy. While seven States have been consolidating their power, and been looking at the discontents in the other States, and while those of the border have been endeavoring to bring about the reunion of the Buttes, yes he re gretted to say that he had seen no evidence on the Republican side to meet these endeavors half way. The border slave btatea cannot reunite thla Con federacy. The majority of the non•slaxeholding States alone have the power to do so, and he ex pressed the opinion with grief, but with a firm conviction that, union within a short time the Republicans who are here represented manliest a spirit to give the equality which those states claim, the question will be solved in one of t hese ways. We may drift into civil strife if the people are allowed ne opportunity to - speak but, if we have not civil drill), then we will have peaceful separation by treaty. If the Republican gateman and their Wends remain Arm and de termined, there can be me other result than to drive the Border dtatat into a union with the Confede rate States, with the belief that the Government represents the principles of the old federal system. ,If the Border Nave States bold a Convention, which seems probable, and the people of the non slaveholding Stotler deem it their duty to reject such PsoPaslilailli as may be essential, then the, disruption of the Union -will be inevitable toAhO; extent of fifteen Mato, end at no distant day that. will be the. latteat Vonfedara - ey on the eentizent:l Mr. DOUGLAS replied, reciting ble points In a former.dtsciission to. show that the ineeelteldled States bare rio corhplaint to thalle, that they have not their just proportion and jest rights In all the Territories or the United States. E..oontd„not conceal his surprise, that the Senator from nied positions r t s b a e yirigthat it h t e h ehßadordapr Slave States, Amid "not-get one of the propositions laid dowt by him, and having insisted that there was no hope in tbis partionlar, remarked that Ken tucky, from mountain peak to mountain peak and from every valley and smiling plain, would ring forth the cry of jostles and equality. His Douglas') object was, to demonstrate that there was no Cause for snob notion, and that Kentuoky has lushes and equality in the Territories, accord ing to the test presoribed by the Senator himself. That e g th re e erse, i a s ha l -? ci egarbele division s o o n u ththe l a i n ne of the Crittenden proposition nlninied. The Senator from Kentucky had ant attempt ed .to (Reprove .this. He was too ptadent to Make the attempt, lint be knew • that ;the Territories of Colbrade , nevada; and Duo. tab hail been organized t.n the basis of the Nebraska-Kansas bill. All these Territories wee organized on the.principle of non-interventila bjr Congress, the people to decide the slavery question as they please, abject only to the limitation of the Constitution, leaving the courts teascertain what the limitation is.. This is all the South have ever asked: The Republicans have abandoned the Wilmot proviso and Congressional intervention, and repudiate the Congressional prohibition of slavery. The Senator would not deny that. Re did not ask the eortator from Kentucky to say that the rtepublioaps hare abandoned all their essential prinoipies. He did not ask him tO do atlything to promote their interests. Re (Mr. Douglas did not believe in the political creed of that party, and did not believe that the best interests b 7 the •eountry would be promoted by the exercise of ttielrpo*et. Stilt be preferred the Untorkunder a Reptibliesn Administration to none at all Inasmuch as it was true that they have recogniied the rights of the South in the Territorial, and have not attempted to repeal the slave oode of Ma Mexico, this fact should be proclaimed by every loyal Union man. It was all he asked. He de manded that every feet and truth that could be uttered should be uttered by every man to allay sectional strife, and to calm the irritation of the slaveholding States, and to restore reason. in order that we may hereafter sucoeed in securing snob constitutional guarantees as shall prevent civil strife and featore the Union. [Applause ] Re then Proginedid fo oho* truth the inaugural that Presi dent Lincoln eeknosiledgel,the duty of the Pederat proteotion to alave property; and that it is the duty 'of Congress to pass laws affording &tab troteotioni and the duty of the Federal officers to moths the laws. Renee the Senator from Kentucky mistook when be said that there was no instance in whioh Federal protection would not be off 'Med. Mr. BANCEINSIDGE replied. ID attempting to assist the &meter from Illinois in getting through his romiutign of inquiry, that it might look in the direction of pesae, he expressed his regret that he bad seen no evidence that the Aeritblicane have abandoned their principles. The Seriatelf, fetto, by turns, had been the eulogist and denouncer of the Republicans, so'd that they have sated in a spirit of patriotic devotion to the whole country, and desired to give equal rights to all the States, and that they had particularly abandoned their principle as to slavery in the Territories. He would not oharge the Senator with the purpose to misrepresent hint, but that Senator had called at tention to two paragraphs in his (Mr. B 's) epeedh. He said that be (Mr. B.) had deolared that the Border Slave Statee would not remain in the Union on unequal terms, or without an equitable division, and that the South had no right to believe that they would receive the proteotion and recognition they ath. Now, the inference to be drawn from this was, that he was in favor of , precipitating Eentuelty out. of the Union. The Senator from Minot* had given a slight twist to hie lenge age. He (Mr. B ) did saY, on niers than one °melon, that the dominant party bad Manifested, by the sots of their Representatives, that they wotild only give the assurance that they will not abolish slavery in the States, and that, as equal States, they could not remain in the Union when the pro perty of all of them was not to be recognized or protected. The Union was broken already, and unless some energetic, manly efforts were made to settle the question, on broad national prineples,, thp Union will be broken still further. It could not be saved by persuading the people that the Republicans have abandoned principles to which they still ad here. Such s declaration was calculated to pro duce apprehension and an injurious effect. Presi dent Lincoln recognizes a planned property in slave labor within the slave State, but at the same time he, in his inaugural, recognizes the enuncia lion of the Chicago platform,that "the yibrmal condition of all territories is reedom," etc This is the conviction and prinoiple of the majority , on this floor, as well as of the President himself and his party. Nras it not, therefore, belittling to say that the Republicans have abandoned their essen tial principles, when their-whole machinery I. levelled agai nst slavery ? lie would toe glad to see the Republicans driven from power, in order that these questions might be adjusted on consti tutional principles. Mr. Donsmas replied. He said the Senator would not go book to Kentucky and tell his people that they stand in respect to the Territories better than they ever did before, while he did sot deny that this was.the ease. He desired that Kentucky and every other State should know the feet. He, too, desired to put the Republican party Out of pager, bat he would not foster unkind feelings in the South for party purposes. He would tell the truth about the Republican party even if It ope rated to their eredit. Mr 'BEECISIZTRIDGIE suggested that Mr. Douglas should now ask the Republicans here the reasons for omitting in the Territorial bills any allusion to or prohibition of slavery. Mr Donates replied that he had said they had so acted from patriotic considerations, in order to prevent the further disruption of the Union. He wanted to Crush down every Disunionist in Ken tucky. tripplaneel Re wanted to strengthen his (Mr. Breekin• ridge's) hands. The Senator had told them of his devotion to the Union, and he (Mr. Douglas) wanted to save tbe country the valuable serviette; of the Senator from Kentucky for the next six years. He repeated that he wanted to strengthen his bands, and the bands of every other men, and to show that Kentucky is safe even under a Re publician Administration, end to 'put down semi& don in every State in the Union Mr_ Gnixett, of lowa., moved that the resolution of Mr_ Douglas calling for information relative to the forte, navryards, /Lc , end whioh was pending before the Senate, be laid on the table.'

Mr. Cinctures added that if the troops be withdrawn there ought to be a forbearance shown as to the oolleotion of the revenue.

New You, Marah 26.—lhe staaraidrip Prince Albert sailed to-day for fkalway, with 70 panne. gars. Terrible •1 ragedy in Michigan. The St John's Republican has an aeoeunt of a fearful tragedy at Ithaea, Gratiot county, Mich. It appears that at the residence of 9 hadcleus Green. in that vicinity, a girl named Taylor and Green's daughter were found murdered, while In another room Green himself was found with Ids throat cut. The Republican says : Considering the circumstances connected with the, affair, as they have reached us, there can be but one opinion as to who the perpetrator of the foul deed is. and this, we learn, is the only one which " obtains any cr edence in that vicinity. It is that the man Green first murdered the two girls, and then, preferring death to the penalty of the law, put the knife to his own throat e thus ending s miserable existence. And this belief is strengthened by the feet that the house was se. cutely fastensbd from the inside, and nothing could be found Indicating that any person - or persons had left the house after the act was committed. But as to what ehotild bring about snob action on the part of Green is still more in the datk. and einnunstanoes would seem to warrant the belief that the whole - matter will ever remain so. Al though there are many conjectures and nipped. Lions as to the ;muse, that there Is jute foreidetion for any of them we are not aware. Otir infantile& states that Green was a man 'of limited drown ataneea, and poeseestal of rather' alliftleeedbipo sition, but that otherwise he bore an ordinarily good character.
