The Necessity of Emancipation.
'Mr. BALA, the correspondent of an Eng
lish paper, seems to have been surprised, in
his visit to the Army of the Potomac, to
- find that the troops were not collectively
visible. He was unable to realize the fact
that thousands of men were around him,
being able to see only a few hundreds at one
time. The vastness of the area over which
the boat was spread confounded him, and he
naturally refers to the answer of the Duke
of Wellington, who, -when present at
a ball, and asked by a lady to de
scribe Waterloo, inquired if she could
describe to him the perpetual changes of
the brilliant pageant around him. As it is
with the soldier in battle, or the civi
lian in camp, it is with us. We live in
a revolution which we cannot appreciate.
The littleness of the war eclipses its great
ness, as the body of a dwarf can shut out
the view of a distant mountain. We read
-every day of the rivalries of distinguished
generals, of the jealousies of politicians, of
- the opinions of great thinkers, of armies, of
navies, of battles, of triumph and overthrow t
and few, in the whirl of this ceaseless excite
ment, pause to think why the struggle
into which more than thirty millions of peo
ple have been drawn is the grandest struggle
of -modern times. Even of those who are
most profoundly impressed with the deeper
elements of the tragedy, there is not one
- who can truly understand them. From those
who have no appreciation of the causes of
the war, nothing can, of course, be expected
but petty criticisms of its daily or secondary
features. So we find the opponents of the
people entirely occupied in criticising the
blunders of the Government, and apparently
.oblivious of the moral grandeur of the
great battle. To them the mighty spirits of
good and evil, which,have this continent
- for a battle-ground, - are invisible and un- _
'known. They live in this terrible revolu
lion, and talk complacently of trifles. Bat
- the destinies are strongest, and the war long
since passed beyond the control of mortal
power. A statesman could not have
made the war—a statesman cannot stop
it. Emancipation was not in the power
of the Government to withhold, nor is peace
a blessing now to be obtained- by the wisest
and most impartial of conventions. We
speak of what the Government has done,
-and it has done well :,:yet it should be un
derstood that the very nature of the struggle
IRS forced the Government to adopt a cer
tain course, and that, as the great ship flies
before the storm, all that can be done is to
stand firmly by the helm.
Just now we are all rejoiced to hear of the
emancipation of Maryland. This is, in
deed, a great event, measured by ordinary
standards, but, absolutely, it is but an inci
dent of the war. What is it compared with
the emancipation of the whole North ?----a
triumph which has no parallel in history.
In three years the North has been trans
formed; it has become a new land ; it has
enshrined in its action principles of liberty,
which formerly it was almost afraid to em
body in its professions ; it no longer has
a Southern master, no longer answers
to the snapping of the slave-whip ; it is
_not the North of IS6O, hesitating, uncer
tain, inconsistent ; it is in earnest ; it is
tree ; it has redeemed itself, and will re
dem others. The emancipation of Mary
land is but a natural consequence of the free
dom of the North, and now that the North is
profoundly, sincerely, and enthusiastically
anti-slavery nothing can prevent slavery from
being destroyed in every Southern State.
Slavery existed by permissidn of the Free
States, and was too long protected by them.
It is not strange that Maryland should
emancipate her slaves, when she hes the
grand example of a national deliverance
and the assurance of a national sympathy.
It would be strange indeed if she had re
fused to embrace this golden opportunity of
rebuilding her prosperity. It will be strange
if even South Carolina should not be freed
in the end, for the progress of liberty since
1860 has been almost a miracle, and still the
work is unfinished.
All honor should be given to those brave
men - who told the people of Maryland their
duty, and wrought so well to rid her of the
curse which kept her poor and weak. But
they have but hastened an event which was
a necessity. No man or men can take the
glory of emancipation; many of us have
aided it, but none could have prevented it.
It was and is inevitable. 'The terrible angel
of war, whose dark wings have shadowed'
the whole land, has done more for Anieri
.can freedom than the beautiful angel of
peace, and has not only stricken the iron
shackles from the body of the slave, but re
moved those heavier fetters which bound in
-visibly the spirits of the free.
Liberalism in Paris.
In two of the districts of Paris legislative
elections have been held, the list accounts
inform us. In both cases the Government
candidates were chosen. The new mem
bers are RIPPOLVTR CARROT. and GAnsinu-
PAGES. As both are notable men, we shall
briefly mention a few points respecting them.
BIPPOLYTR CARROT was sixty-three years
-old yesterday (April 0), and is son of the emi
nent member of the French Convention who
was appointed Minister -of War in August,
1793, while ROBESPIERRE'S horrible Reign
of Terror prevailed; who was one of the Di
rectory in 1795, and who was reappointed Mi
nister of War by BONAPARTE in 1798. The
elder CARNoT died in 1823, and the son,
who had shared his exile, then returned to
Parie, where he became indoctrinated with
Socialism. Foreign travel removed this
- heterodoxy, and, successively elected to the
Chamber of Deputies in 1839, 1842, and
1846, he was a powerful member of the
. Opposition, and also a journalist. After the
Revolution of February, 1848, M. CARROT
was made Minister of Public Instruction, and
remained in this position until the following
-July. Immediately sent to the Legislative
Assembly by the electors of the department
of the Seine, he joined the extreme republican
party there. After the coup d'etat of 1851,
he was one of the three republican candi
dates elected to the Corps Legislatif—Gen.
CATAIGNAC, for Paris, and M. HENAN, for
Lyons, being the other two. Refusing to
take the oath to Lours NAPOLEON, they re
tired into private life. In 1857, M. CATINOT
- was again elected, and again lost his seat
because he declined taking the oath. • Now,
perhaps, having the example of M. TRIERS
and others before him, he may swear-alle
giance to the Empire, and resume his place
as a lawmaker. He is author of numerous
works—in poetry, politics, foreign travel,
polemics, biography, and history.
GARNIRII-PAGXS is not yet fifty-nine
years old. He took part in the Re
volution of July, 1830, and soon after
was elected to the Chamber of De
puties. There, he sided with the Opposi
tion, and displayed a talent for finance.
in 1848, when the Revolution took place,
he was made member of the Provisional
Government by acclamation, and soon took
charge of the much-deranged National Ft
mances. He was equal to the occasion,
'boldly ordering the Bank of France to sus-
Tend cash payments, and authorizing the
issue of paper money, bearing a forced ctir
culation, but limited in amount to what the
nation really required—a course which,
_Ausox says, "may be regarded as a model
of political wisdom, and perhaps the great
est boon ever bestowed by legislative wis
dom on an afflicted nation." Soon after,
GAWNIER-PAGES was appointed Member of
- the College of France. He was elected to
the National Assembly, which commenced
its session on May 4th, 1848, was appointed
-second on the Executive Commission which
succeeded the Provisional Government, re
linquishing his portfolio of Finance. Before
and after the election of President, in De
cember, 1848, GARNIER-PAGES voted and
spoke with the moderate Democrats. Not
re-elected to the Legislative Assembly, he
retired into private life, and was again un
buccessful, in 1857, as a candidate.
These new members of the French Oppo
sition are men of experience, ability, and
character_ They form part of a Legislative
Section small in numbers, as yet, yet strong
in talent, boldness, and the ready tact which
knows how to avail itself of every parlia
mentary rule, in action and debate, which
can annoy and obstruct Nerommon's minis
ters and their-measures.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL"
WASTUNGTON, April 7, 1864
In directing attention to the occupation
of Mexico by the French, and to the hopes
excited among the rebels by that most ill
judged and (as the end: will prove) most
calamitous proceeding, I had 'no time' to
speculate upon the destinies of the black
race of the United States in connection with
the destinies of the people of that unfor
tunate republic. Many American statesmen,
yet living, including some of the most in
fluential of the southern leaders, have always
regarded Mexico as the great field into which
the increased volume of the colored popula-
tion would pour, and finally settle and min
gle there with the already mixed races of
Spaniards and Indians. Robert J. Walker's
celebrated letter urging the hnnexatioa of
Texas, which was made a campaign docu
ment in 1844, gave peculiar emphasis to
this idea, and made pladsible what at that
time was moat repugnant to many Northern
minds. Some of his oweparty looked upon
his prognostication as an extravagant dream ;
but even at that day, while he was a
Senator from Mississippi, where he was
always a Union leader and opposed to Jef-
ferson Davis, he was considering how to
solve the dreadful problem of an increasing
negro population in his own section, and
unconsciously preparing himself for the
noble stand he finally assumed when Repu
diation and Secession took the shape of an
armed and fanatical rebellion. He was for
opening an - outlet from Texas into Mexico
for this population, and I can never forget
his prophetic words.
Mere colonization is an expensive failure.
The last experiment in Hayti has ended in
a dismal tragedy. Sensible men must set
about finding a new remedy for a great and
disturbing complication. The war has fur
nished one of these remedies. The negro
is armed and fighting. He is proving him
self to be more than a mere beast of burden,
and is steadily and rapidly breaking down
the prejudices that, even in free communi
ties, regarded him as only fit for sla
very. His courage is thus adapting him
for other responsibilities, and already he
begins to look beyond the Rio Grande,
into the magnificent plateaus of . Mexico,
where he may find a free home, and com
plete social and political equality. Coloniza
tion, however we may seek to deny it, has
always been compulsory, and; hence, inope
rative and temporary. But the negro will go
to Mexico of his own free will. He has
always been welcome there. In after years
he will be doubly so, if he comes with
arms in his hand, to help to unfetter the
chains of a people bound down by a foreign
pow Robert J. Walker is no longer a
visio and a theorist. He may live to
see colored men deciding the fate of a
sister nation, helping - to develop her inex
haustible mines, to build railroads, to com
plete the great Tehuantepec crossing, to
cultivate the soil, and open, by free labor,
immense cotton fields. And who knows
that Louis Napoleon may not, after all,
give us Mexico, as his great uncle gave us
Louisiana ?
While on this suggestive theme let me di
rect your attention to a short speech made
in January last, in the House, by Hon. W.
P. Kelley. He pointed to Central America
proper as another inviting field for the en
terprise and courage of the colored freedmen
of the United States. The following ex
tract from this speech is very interesting.
Judge Kelley was opposing a proposition to
withdraw our diplomatic representatives
from the Central American States. He said :
" But there never has been a time, for rearms so
ably assigned ty the gentleman from Maryland,
(Mr. Davis), as well as those given by the gentle
man from Ohio, (Mr. Cox), when it was more im
portant to have American influence near to or at
the centre of each of the States named in the gen.
Semen's amendment. Settlement has, in my judg•
went, been unduly confined to the grain•growing
regions of our country and the world. The time
has come when commerce, manufactures, and, per •
haps, higher interests than,. these, require tropical
development and civilization. There is no lack of
the productions of the temperate region ; no lack
of skill for their production. Commerce and in
dustry often suffer from overproduction of our
staples, and are embarrassed for want of a market
in which to exchange or dispose of the surplus; they
also suffer from want of those tropical productions
that enter into our commerce land manufacture.,
grace our tables, and make life agreeable. But the
time has come when, under providential guidance,
and led by providential events, we are to have a
natural tropical expansion, and large bodies of our
people are to go to the very States of Central Ame
rice from which the gentleman would withdraw our
representatives, bearing with them, if we will per•
mit, our language, our laws, our thoughts, our
habits, and our institutions,
" The last year has given freedom to millions of a
race whose ancestors came from a region near the
sun. They occupy a portion of our States, in
sehich they have been enslaved, and where they are
despised. Make them free as we are to move at our
wills; make them enlightened enough to know
where interest leads them, and where nature invitee
them to settle, and the black men of the Border
States and of the Northern States will, as I have
intimated, carry thither our language, our laws, and
our life, and will in time, I trust, establish our flag
and Our Government in the region once known as
Central America ; for, alas ! the doctrine of State
sovereignty, and the fact of secession, have extin
guished the republic.
He who will look at the map of America, and
s tudy the climate and resources of the regioa indi
cated by the gentleman who moves to strike out
these States, and will also glance at the social and
political life of those States, will see the induce
ments to emigration which that region holds -out to
those whose presence in our midst is, to say the
least, not desirable to a majority of our people.
Color is there a mere question of taste. It is in no
degree a political or social question. Mr. Stephens,
in the book to which I have referred, tells us that
his Brat breakfast in Central America was taken
under these circumstances : it was in British Hon.
during, at Belize. He had been told by a British
merchant that he would find him lodgings, and would
take him to introduce him to the 'lady' under
whose roof he was to find them. lie found the
to be a 'mulatto woman.' . Having closed
a contract with his future landlady, he accepted an
invitation to breakfast with another British mer
chant. Be found the merchant at one end of the
table, his wife et the other; each hada British officer
on the ontaide, arid each a colored gentleman on
the other ; his seat was between the two colored
gentlemen ; he took it. But let him speak for him•
self. This Democratic representative of the United
States Government, the appointee of President Van
Buren, thus describes the incident and moralizes on
it:• •
" ' On my way back I stopped at the house of a mer
chant, whom I found at what is called a second break.
fact. The gentleman sat at one aide or the tab , e and his
lady on the other At the bead was a British officer, and
opposite hint a nub, ttot on his left was another officer.
and eppc site him also a mulatto. Br chance a place
e made for inh between the two colored gentlemen.
Eeme of my countrymen, perhaps, would have hesi
tated about taking it, bat I did not Bo:h were well
dressed, well educe:ed. and polite. They Wired of their
mahogany work,. of England, hunting. horses, ladies.
and wine; and before I bad been an hour in Belize I
learned that the great work of practical amalgamation,
the subject of so much angry controversy at home. had
teen going on quietly for generations: that color was
considered mere matter of taste; and that some of the
most respectable 'inhabitants had black Wives and
turner() children. whom they educated with as much
care, and made money for with as much zee', as if their
skins were perfectly white.'
"The incident purified our minister of some preju
dice. May not the great events now occurring bless
vs to the same extent'? I think that the publication
of the journal of the travels of a minister in search
of a past Government might do something to induce
emigration to this region, so rich in its resources and
so undeveloped. At any rate, at a time when Na
ture and Providence are inviting a large emigration
from our over labored region to those States, with
which commercial intercourse could be developed
with so much advantage to both parties, let us not
withdraw the presence and power of our Govern
ment from any one of them. Our fellow•oitizens of
African descent, treed by the rebellion, will not be
long in Americanizing this to them congenial region,
in which complexional differences do not affect the
social or political position of a man, if we have the
sense and humanity to give them a fair chance for
culture and enterprise."
These are practical, and, therefore, valua
ble truths. They open the way for states
men to new thoughts and to new prepara
tions for the eternal adjustment of the tre
mendous issues growing out of the war.
Tun Beata GUARD.—The Third Annual Report
to the 'Mayor, of Brigadier General A. J. Pleason•

EQUIVALENT BOUNTIES for those of our
re.enlisted veterans who lost their ward
bounties by their patriotic haste have been
finally voted by our Common Council yes

glatilying movement had its origin in the
meetings of the ward delegates. By cher
ishing, in this substantial and delicate man
ner, the families of our volunteers, we show
these men that their services and sacriftces are
well remembered, and a soldier will fight
the better for knowing that his family is
cared for by his•fellow-citizens. This kind
act of Philadelphia—not only kind but just
—will .
make many a heart tremble with joy
that never palpitated with fear.

It is due to Great Britain and Russia that their

It certainly devolves upon our Government to
second this great enterprise, and more especially
now since Russia and Great Britain have met the
question in a liberal international spirit, and cleared
it of ail question as to right of way, so as to connect
London and St. Petersburg with New York. There
never was an enterprise presented to the considera

George Thompson in Washington.
Thompson , s oration in the hall of the House
of Representatives on Wednesday evening, was
briefly mentioned in our telegraphic columns yester.
day. In opening his address, Mr. Thompson denied
the accusation which had been made that he was a
disunionist. In defending himself against the
charge he used the following language;
LADIES AND GBIiTLEMBN: Before I proceed to
make those observations Willett I had intended to
make, permit me to notice a cireumstanse that oc
curred within these walls on Monday last. Not
until a late hour last night was I aware
that, during the sitting of the House of Represents
tives on Monday, an honorable member rose in his
place and introduced a resolution, to the following
effect
Whereas. George Thompson, of Eng - and. in March.
1834. declared that the dissolution of this Union should

Brsototd, That the resolution. heretofore passed..
granting the nes of this ball to the said George Thomp
son on the evening of the 6th of April, is hereby re
scinded
On the perusal of that preamble and resolution, I
felt it my duty Instantly to address a brief note to
- the honorable member, the author of what I have
read. Here is my note :
325 STREET, WASHINGTON,
Tustin/ix EVENING, April 5, 1864,
"The Hon. Jaws R. Morris:
I sin just made aware, by the record of
proceedings in Congress, as reported in the newspa
pers of this day. date, that you.introduced yester
day, in the Rouse of Representatives, a resolution
affirming that "George Thompson, of England, in
March, 1834, deli/area that the dissolution of the
Union should be steadily kept in view."
As such a declaration was never made by me,
either at the time mentioned above or at any other
period, I beg respectfully to request that you will,
at your earliest convenience, favor me with the au
thority-upon which you made so grave a statement
as ground for parliamentary action.
1 have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE THOMPSON-
To that note Mr. Morris has down to this mo—
ment, favored me with no re ply..[Laughter.] I
am, therefore, ignorant of the grounds upon which
thehonorable member brousht against me the mem
mations which he uttered from his place in Perlis
went. I have speculated upon the reasons that he
might assign for alleging against me that I had, at
any period of my life, been unfriendly to the Union
of the States in this country, and I shall do all that
I can to exonerate him, as a gentleman, an Ameri
can citizen, and a member of the Rouse of Repre•
sent/MIN a, from the suspicion of deliberately prefer
ring against me a charge for which ,I know there is
no real foundation. (she speaker here asked the
audience to excuse him while he read a note, just
put in his hands, which he believed was from Mr.
Morris.)
It is as I suppose. Perhaps if Mr. Morris is pre ,
Bent he will rather thank than biome me for calling
the attention of the audience to his resolution, The
note which I have just received from him is dated
Washington, April 6:
" Mr. George Thompson:
" Your note of the sth instant is just res.
ceived. In answer, permit me to say that on the
4th instant I offeredthe enclosed resolution, founded
ou a letter purporting to be written by you, which
you will find in the appendix to the Congressional
Globe for the second session of 36th Congress, volume
44, page 106 of the appendix.
" Very reapectfully, J. R. MORRIS."
The letter referred to, 'Which I have no doubt I
shall find in the Congressional Globe, as stated by
Mr. Morris, is the same letter which is referred to in
the first volume of the record of your rebellion,
which I hold in my hand. And well may the Vice
President of the United States, and the President of
the Senate. say that this is a gigantic as tvell as a
foul and wicked rebellion, for this is but one of six
volumes containiug its records, and how many more
are yet to come depends partially upon the persist
ence in evil of those misguided men who are still in
arms, partially upon your resolution and courage in
its suppression, but more still upon that Divine Pro
vidence who has thus far so singularly watched over
you. [Rear.] In the first volume of these ponder.
ous records, and on the twenty-fourth page of that
portion of it which contains public documents,
I read that during the delivery of a speech, Mr.
Shei ard Clemens referred to an article in the Libe
rator newspaper and to Mr. Garrison, and then went
on to say that their retiring Confederates " ought
not to forget the events of 1831, when George
Thornton, the English Abolitionist, was sent to
enlighten the dead conscience of the American per).
pie." In this connection he cited a letter from
Thompson to Murray, of Tennessee, in which was
this sentence : . The dissolution of the Union is the
object to be kept steadily in view." I have an answer
to that, and at is, first, that I never in my life have
cherished a hostile or even an unfriendly feeling to•
ward the Union. [Cheers ] Second, that I never in
my life addressed a letter to Mr. Murray, in Ten
nessee, or , to any man in any slave State of the
United States, [loud cheers,] and, third. that down
to Pdareb, 1834, and afterwards, I had never written
a solitary line to America. And that I may speak
without reserve and absolutely, I here deliberately
affil in that I challenge and defy the bitterest enemy
to you arid your Union to find within the range of
my speeches and writings anything that would jus
tify an imputation of unfriendliness to that Union.
[Cheers.] What I have said about your Union
during the three years that I have been engaged
unceasingly, in season and out of season, in health
and out of health, (as one witness just from
now present, might testify if he was called on the
Mono). what I have said will be found condensed in
a brief extract from a speech I made in England on
the breaking out of the war, which I discovered
among the papers I have with me at this moment in
Washington. I observed in one of my London
seeeches :
'Some leading journals have attempted to defend
the right of secession from the Union, by maintain.
ing tee doctrine of State sovereignty, arguing for
the inherent right of a State to secede under the
Constitution. Such a right would be an absurdity.
The right to secede, as a revolutionary right, is tin%
deniable ; but it is the people, the nation, that le to
recognize that right, not toe sworn servants of the
Constitution, which knows nothing of secession.
No Government provides "for its own dissolution ;
therefore, widle there is always a revolutionary
right to secede, there can never be a Constitutional
right to do so. The Constitution prescribes tile
means for taking the sense of the people fir:reference
to any organic change. Before the present war
broke out, at the suggestion of 'Kentucky, an offer
Was made the seceding States to call a national eon
vention to consider the question of separation, and
it would have been competent for that convention
to have allowed South Carolina and her confederate
States to retire from the Union, and to establish a
government for themselves
"This offer was deo:ined, and nothing, therefore,
was left for the President but to uphold the Oonsti•
tution, and enforce the laws which the seceding
States had violated. In the war now waging be.
tween the States of America, the North is in the
right, and the South in the wrong. The South aims
at the overthrow of the Government, and the uni.
ver sal establishment of slavery. The sham govern.
ment which the South has organized has made sla
very-its vaunted corner-stone; it is a government
founded avowedly on the right of enslaving an infe
rior race. In the cause of the South are united
all the elements of injustice, despotism,
cruelty,
and irreligion. On the part of the North, the war
is one for national existence ; for the maintenance
of government; for the preservation of the Condi.
tution, devised and founded by the fathers of the
Republic; for the supremacy of law, the punish.
ment of treason, and the reintegration of the
States.
n Looking upon the war as a fact as inevitable and
irrepressible ; looking at the combatants with refe
rence to their antecedents, their character, and their
ollicots ; looking to the results which would follow
from a victory to the South, and those which would
grown the success of the North ; looking, filially, to
the great interests of freedom, humanity, and the
civilization involved in the struggle, and its issues,
the wish and prayer of the enllehtened philontrao
plat must be—Gon SPEED THE NORTH I"
The Fire in Boston.
THE DESTRUCTION OP THE WINTREOP HOUSE AND
RA/lONIC HALL-HISTORIC PAINTINGS LOST.
The following are the particulars of the great fire
in Boston, repotted leaterdap :
About half peat twelve o'clock Wednesday morn.
tog tire was Uncovered in an upper room on the
northeast corner of the Winthrop House, corner of
Tremont and Boylston streets. The building was
very high, and partly occupied as a hotel, and partly
weir as a Masonic Hall, in which the valuable
archives and regalia of several lodges were de
posited, none of whisk were saved.
There were probably two hundred persona in the
hotel at the time the fire broke out; and though the
most of them were very much alarmed, others were
confident that the lire would be quelled without
much trouble. Those who were-alarmed made their
escape from the building without saving anything,
and those Who Were not, being over- confident as to
eonsequeneek did not think of saving their property
until it was too late.
No correct estimate of the value or loss of pro
perty in Masonic Ball can be made, as some por
tion. of the property cannot be replaced at any
cost. A large number of very valuable and almost
priceless paintings were destroyed, including origi
nal portrait. or Washington, General Warren,
Price,the Brat Grand Master of the State, and also
of all the Grand Masters from 1780 down to the
present time. Records and other precious docu
ments were kept in safes, and will probably be thus
preserved. All the various lodges will lose to a eon•
siderable extent, and some of them heavily. The
COnsiStory, Lodge of Perfection, and the Chapter
of Roseeroix, had new and costly regalias, which
were destroyed. The regalias of the De Noisy,
Boston, and St. Barnard Encampdients, were also
destroyed.
The painting of Gen, Warren was owned by the
Massachusetts Lodge, and was very highly prized.
Among the portraits destroyed was a valuable
original portrait of Chief Justice Rowell, which had
recently been purchased by Dr. Winslow Lewis, and.
which he designed presenting to the Boston bar. It
bed been in the building but a day or two. The Bos
ton Journal says :
"It will be gratifying to the members of the
order to know that the lock of Washington's hair,
with the golden urn in which it was deposited, was
not in the building at the time of the tire, and la
therefore safe.
" The Grand Lodge of this State had a great num•
ber of original Masonic documents, bearing the sig
natures of eminent Masons of the previous century,
and which to them were of great value. Among
Mein were Charter. Cud payer. signed by Washing
too, Warren. Franklin, Paul Revere, and others
Three were all lost.

Mr. DENDRICHts said he would not have been in

Hale yesterday. that Mr. Hachauttnoe Administration
was responsibte for this war. He claimed that the De

as the Democrats the confitce might have been avoided.
Every Democrat voted for the compromise measures,

Tim tienator from New amp thire tumid not deny

what condition were the people of Kentucky, subject to
invasion daily? of Marylanu. is which there . were no
free elections? and Delaware, in which tse elections
Were controlled by provost marshals. to pass calmly
upon these amendments, to say nothing of the States

States Were in re nellion, were senators to allow drat a
State could take advantage of its own fault? Faun or
3.0 fault. three•iour ths of the elates must agree to this
amendment before it becomes binding.
Mr. HOWARD, of Michigan. said an Opportunity was
offered to all the States to vote upon thus subject, bat
their open treason prevented them from doing so.
Mr. t.OLLAIIIER, of Vermont, said that though the
rebellions States who refuted to vote would be canine
rated in the count, their refusal to vote would not
operate if a three-fourths vote Was secured in favor of the
measure.
Mr. BRNDRICKS would have no objection to this
int aware if it was adopted by each State, for he believed
slavery Was the creature of local law. It was a grave
question whether three-fourths of the States could lay
hands on an institution of the other fourth, without
their consent. all being parties in the original Com
pact. lie was taught to stand by his original agreement.
and he did not intend here to discuss the moral ques
tion; with that he had nothing to do. The fault ha
found with the Administration was that ft had seamed
teeonehont this streiggle to act upon the policy that
the rebellious States should not come bac/ into the
Union upon the principles of our forefathers, and that
no term:44A peace would be considered and that subjuga
tieu atone was to be the policy. Wily Was not the
Policy of the resolution adopted three years ago fol
lowed, and the war waged fur tie sole purpose of re
storing the COnSiltaition and the Union?
Mr. HENDERSON said that, as the author of the
bid.-originally introduced on this. Subject, which
provides not only for the extingatehmeut of sla
very. but for a differeat Wide hereafter of securing
sti,endnients to the Constaition, he would have pre•
faired its adoption in that form, but as a majority of the
Judiciary Committee had thouget differeutly, he was
prepared to yield to their judgment The loyal. owners
of slaves, in the slave States, had made up their minds
as to the comae to pursue on this subject, without regard
to what have been their opinions heretofore. He pro
ceeded to argue that slavery had been protested, an/
not warred on to the extent charged in the past b • the
Northern
_people, and mentioned that an amendment
had once been proposed to the Constitution, prohibiting
any interference with slavery, but it Wa. not supported
by Southern men. At the time of his election, in EGO,
the prejudice against slavery had not gone so far as to
say a slave State could not be a republican State. Though
the platform of the Republican party was to exe/nde
at every from the territories. it did not say a State should
not adopt slavery afterwards, if the people thought
Proper; and it was not so much the anti-slavery prej a
iLce, as it was the Corruption+, of the Buchanan Admini
stration;-which waxed the Republican trionspl4. Our
father: bad found slavery a difficult question in their
day as we do now; and, therefore. they left it to the
States; but they have materially changed now , by the
invention of the cotton gin. Slave lauor had broug at
laree profits to the idle few who, in their exemption
from labor, began to indulge a foaling of sciporiority,
and rans.el ed the Scriptures to prove toe divine
Origin of slavery; and, dating I; moan:zee
within Jewish theocracy, and not prohinited by
Christ. placed themselves upon that ground As
Se trent of the culture of cotton increased, - the con
viction of the morality of slavery increased in like pro
portion While the slaves produced cotton the masters
discussed politics. making the whole South a debating
society; amt. In the meanttme,the Northern people were
engaging in manufactures, science. and schools. At the
South. men talked of liberty and Democracy, white the
mass of laborers were in bondage 'and. Really assert
ing the doctrine of squatter sovereignty, lied from it
when it failed to bring in a slave State. In the mean
while the Nc rth began to feel the immorality of slavery,
and to propagate the sentiment in its churches. and by
other agencies, At this point the divergence between the
North at d South commenced, and our political platforms
became nothing but a budget of dogmas on the ambient of
slavery. He held that in the position we had now come
to, the anti slavery sentiment could not be removed. It
was no use therefore, for men to say they wanted the
South to come back, on the hssis of the old 'Union, and
quoted from the itichmoud Whig to show that the Pee.

Mr. Gunman, the builder of a new torpedo boat,
has been testing it in New York bay. He remained
under the water upwards of nine hours, affixing to
the bottom of 'heard sloop "Extra" two torpedoes.
The percussion lock of the first torpedo, containing
filly perm& of powder, was exploded, but, owing to
some defective communication, the powder was not
ignited. The second torpedo contained one hundred
pounds of powder, with three percussion locks In
attempting to fire the charge of powder, the wire
connection run off the spool, and no explosion took
place. The sloop was then to wed to Bush wick creek,
;there at low tide the sloop may be seen with the
two torpedoes attached to her bottom. Although
the sloop was not blown up, owing to defective tor
pc does, this experiment has demonstrated the prac
ticability of the torpedo boat, which may be naviga
ted below the surface of the water, and operate
either against submarine obstructions or a ship's
bottom. The company for whom this boat was built,
for $15,000, have accepted her, and she will probably
he used in future naval operations. She is fifty feet
long, is manned by twenty five men, and moves by
means of a propeller turned by hand.

and effective reader, and has been very highly com

Dr• Weiss, Professor Sears. . Her reading at the

benefit of the Great Central Fair, and by invitation
of many of our best-known citizens. The pro
gramme selected has . great variety, including selec
tions from Whittier, Dickens, Tennyson, Powell,
with that fine poem, "The Second Louisiana," by
George H. Boker. Dr. Holmes said that he found
so little to criticise in Miss Shaw's reading that he
feared he must be wanting in-the eve which detects
faults, and if she but halt deserves the praise she
received, she must yet be considered one of the very
butt of readers.
TWO GRAND soinzus, for the Central Fair, will
be given by the pupils of the Fifteenth-ward Public
Schools, at the Academy of Music, on the evening'
of April 15th and 16th. The entertainments combine
