SUNBUltY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOUKNAL
SPEECH OF GEK CASS.
XXXII eO(HWM First aeleii.
Washington, Deo. S3, 1351.
Senat. The Senate commenced busi
lieu at half-past twelve.
Mr. Clemens having the floor, yielded it
to Mr. Caat.
Mr. Cass thanked the Senator from Ala
bama, (Mr. Clement) for yielding him the
floor, and aid, Though 1 expressed to the
honorable mover of tbia resolution, my re
gret at ite introduction, yet here it is, and 1
am required to vole upon it, to testify my
satisfaction at the passage of the Compro
mis measure, and my conviction thut the
arrangement was a just and should be a
final one ; no more to be disturbed, in
whole or in part. 1 have before taken occa
sion, in my seat here, when practical sub.
jecta involving all these issues were before
us, to state my views, and 1 shall not now
repeat them, when the course proposed sug
gests no legislative action. I am not gener
ally in favor of mere legislative declarations
leading to no practical results, yet the cir.
cumstances which surround this proceeding
give to it unusual importance, and it may
well rest upon its own peculiar claims.
The peaoe of the country has been assured,
1 trust, by this series of measures ; but re
ports had gone foith more or less imposing
in their character, that they would bo assail
ed in Congress, and sumo of them repealed,
or so modified as to destroy t heir efficiency
and acceptability. Agitation is thus kept
alive by the expectation, prepared to renew
its fearful work ; and in this stale of things
' I find myself face to face with a resolution
which asserts, as I believe, the true charac
ter and just inviolability of these measures,
and tends thereby to remove from the pub
lic mind all apprehension thru the perilous
contest through which, by tho kindness of
Providence, we have safely passed, wil'
again be renewed, and 1 should cliscjijrgo
my duty as faithlessly to my constituents, ns
to myself, if I did not meet this proposition
with frankness, and support it with firm
ness ; and especially, sir, 1 am unwilling to
be misunderstood in this grave conjecture,
after the denunciations we have heard for
the first time from an American Senator, in
the American Senate, against the confedera
tion and government of our common coun
try. If such sentiments are to furnish mo
tives for any one for the rejection of this
proposition, they will furnish motives to me
for it support, as I desire by my voice and
Tote equally to maik my disapprobation of
them. Mr. President, the words that fell
from the Honorable Senator from South Car
olina (Mr. Rhett) were to me as welcome as
they were unexpected. They fell upon
reluctant, 1 may well say, indignant ears,
and they went to sorrowing hearts, t have
not the most distant idea of following the
Senator in his bill of indictment againt his
country. -against my countryagainst this
glorious Unionthe most precious political
gift of God to man since the exodus of our
first parents from tho Garden of Eden. I
will not follow him, the talk would be too
irksome, in his arithmetical calculation of
what the different portions of our country
have lost or gained in the collections and
disbursement cf revenue, in the disposition
ot the public lands, nor even in the amount
of pensions granted the poor and lime-honored,
but time stricken relics of our revolu
tionary struggle, not only because many of
the facts, and almost all the conclusions, are
erroneous, but ttill more, because, notwith
standing the inequality which exists not, but
which may be shadowed forth by the most
distempered imagination, there remains a
son of freedom and prosperity, of enjoyment
and blessings, such as the world never saw
before, and will never see again, if this
Union is dissolved. Thut it is the freest
government the sun ever shone upon, re
quire no clearer proof than is furnished by
the very denunciation against it, uttered in
this high place, in the presence of the por
trait of the Father of his Country, hallowing,
not merely adorning, these walls, and who
in his last solemn act, warned us against
sectional feelings and their consequences.
The government had not been merely assail
ed in a strain of invective rare even in the
contests of party, but the determination has
been avowed in language not less clear than
unqualified, to break up the Union by break
ing the prestige of it integrity, and to re
duce it to a kink ol temporary partneiship,
feeble and inefficient in its operations, both
at home and abroad, and equally contempti
ble to its own citizens and to the rest of the
world. Does the honorable Senator be
lieve there is another government under
the face of Heaven where such language
and such objects can be utteied and avowed
with impunity, and does he not find, in the
great piinciple of Ihe right of speech, of free
speech, unshackled by conditions or lim
itations, unknown, indeed, in its extent
elsewhere, through the world ; does he not
find, I say, a refutation of hi own position,
that we live under a despotism, a practical
commentary which rebukus even while he
uttered them, hit liarh denunciations 1 As
to the ruin so confidently asserted or pre
dieted, where is it, or even a sign of it, as
big as a man's hand, like ihat seen by the
prophet, more truly inspired, I tiust, than
the Senator from South Carolina. Hat the
aye of man ever rested upon a more pros,
parous country than this, and if such a con.
dition it more ruinous or pregnant wi h
ruin, where shall w find prosperity but in
tome new Paradise specially created and
governed by God ; though even in such a
place, and experience hat taught ut that
atrce of evil may be found, and the highest
blessing rashly rejected, in a tpiiit of im
palieocaand discontent. North and South,
East and West, the tan rite and sets on a
btppy .land, taming with ao intelligent
paopU, with foe aod equal institutions.

vary element of pawer aud prosperity with
ft rapidity wbiuh outstrip human enpeets
lion, a it ha outstripped human ex peri
nee, with nothing to fear but our own
crimes, an4 Collie arid the just judge
tnenta of Oo4. And avhiU Republics and
Rnpiie and Monarchic have fallen, and
ar atill falling before us, marking ibi as
lb ag ! ocJ aui. political lervlutiou,
our institutions have been preserved, our
boundaries enlarged, and our power aug
mented and the beaoon light of liberty still
thines from our shore, inviting the strug
gling nation of the earth, tossed upon a
sea of oppression, to follow ut to the haven
of safety. For alir.ost three-score year,
this has been my country, my happy,
glorious country, anj for more than half a
century, since 1 have been old enough to
appreciate and to love its government, has
it protected me and mine from foreign ag
gression as well as domestic violence. The
Senator seems to measure the value of our
free institutions by a standard adapted to
his own peculiar notions of the operation of
fiscal laws ; and the assumed want of
equality which he has strangely and strong,
ly asserted, but has fniled to prove, may be
the knell, is now indeed the passing knell,
he hopes and believes of this world watch
ed Republic. But our real equality, the true
American equality of condition, by which
we have neither high nor low among us(
and which freely offers fortune and honors
alike to the hopes and exertions of all, this
condition of social existence the Senator has
not placed at, probably has not even thought
of, in his search after the evidences of
sectional inequality. But it is nn institution
which those who commenced lifo under
circumstances less fortunate than himself,
regard as the brighest spot in our political
firmament, ax offering ample compensation
for any temporary partial operation of pub
lio measures. Where such occur and they
must sometimes occur in every Govern
ment, fur greater than in the cases even if
they were all liable, which they are not, to
this objection whose proofs have been col
lected with so much industry, and spread
befuie us with so much power, and 1 doubt
not sincerely, but with so little conviction.
Such was the charge against the non-intercourse
the embargo tho war the tariff,
and to some extent, tho removal of the de
posits, and the foreboding of ruin happily
rebuked by Ihe results, was then as wide
spread as it can be again, nnd was rendered
still more powerful by that strange spirit
of hallucination to which the best and
wisest are often subject, dining periods of
excitement, in this our world of errors.
And I may well speak with a full heart
upon the subject of our equality of condition
for this very condition joined, indeed, to
the underserved favor of my fellow citizen
has given me, whose early prospects in life
were shrouded in difficulties, and who pass
ed much of it in hard and harsh duties in
the forest it has given even to me this op
portunity, and I glory in it of bearing my
testimony of gratitude to the priceless
value of the Constitution, here, in this great
depositary of its power ; and when in God's
good time, 1 shall need its protection no
longer, may I leave it ns a most precious
legacy, untouched and unscathed to those
who are most dear to nie an object of
piido and a fleet ion for them, as it has been
for me. What a strange spectacle does the
opposition to lha compromise exhibit !
Assailed with equal violence, not to say
virulence, North and South, its enemies
unite it condemning it with equal zeal ;
but they unite in nothing else. Both par
ties charge it with unconstitutionality and
injustice, because it concedes all to one and
nothing to the other, while each considers
itself the injured party, and its rights and
feelings as sacrificed by the arrangement.
For myself, sir, I believe it was a wise and
patriotic disposition of the eventful questions
which agitated and threatened us, and
think if other evidences were wanting, it has
been supplied by the criminations and recrim
inations which are yet sounding in our ears.
Mr. Clemens said that if the resolution
had been submitted to him before it was
offered, he would not have advised it ; not
because he thought it wrong, but in defer
ence to opinions of others. It was, how
ever, now here, and the Senate must vole
upon it, and, from the character of the de
bate which had taken place ; it was their
imperative duty to pass it. The scene
which the Senate exhibited during the de
livery of Ihe harangue of the Senator from
South Carolina (Mr Rhett) was surprising to
no one here, but would have been to the
country. Grouped around that Senator from
Ohio, and the Senator from New Hamp
shire, forming a ring of admirers, while
the face of the Senator from New York
( Mr. Seward) was radiant with satisfaction.
This was not surprising to any one here. A
Southern Senator declaring he was a ilis-
unionib!, and that a majority of the people
ha represented were secessionists, and four
ofasiabid Abolitionists as the country con
tained, sat near aud applauded the senti
ment. There was a sympathy in treason.
There was a sympathy between traitors as
well as between knaves. It was said there
was no necessity for the resolution He
thoushi ihere was. When tiaitors North
and South were opposing the Compromise
and doing all in tSeir power to raise again
the agitation, was there no necessity for the
asuring the people that the mensures
could not be disturbed, but were final. Iln
wat no friend of the Compromise when it
it passed. He had opposed it. But in
having been adopted at a settlement, he
wat prepared lo abide by it.

KF Ice. A lew of our icehouses have
been filled with clear beautiful ice on Ihe
river, which measures about ten inches in
thickness. Most ol our ice houses are,
however, not yet filled. The thaw and
mild weather this week, has stopped all
work of this kind. A break up in the river
is anticipated, but we think in the present
low stage of water, it will require much
more rain to raise the river sufficiently to
carry off the ice.
We regret that the valuable steej

of speeches were delivered by many of the
distinguished guests present. Among them,
the speech ol Gen. Cameron .seemed to

ear of Kossuth than any other; lor vheu
the General sat down amid much applause,
the illustrious Magyar advanced towards

KOSSITII AMD THE LADIES.
At a part of the history ol the times
much of our paper this week is devoted to
the speeches of Governor Kossuth. His
speech to the ladies in New Yoik is, we
think, one of his happiest efforts, and will
be universally read. It bears the impress
of a great mind, and one well informed on
almost eveiy subject. We commend its
perusal to the attention of our readers, es
pecially to the ladies, who cannot fail to
be deeply interested in the virtues and he
roism ot their fair, but unfortunate sisters
in Hungary.
lints IN PHILADELPHIA.
This city has been visited recently by a
number of disastrous fires. Barnum's Mu
seum was entirely destroyed on Tuesday
evening. The fire caught in the 3d story.
The walls fell out with a tremendous crash.
The Pianos in the store of Messrs. E. L.
Walker and Lee & Walker, in the lower
storv, were removed. The Columbia House
was twice on fire and many of the boarders
had packed their baggage and Kft.. Jonet'
Hotel was in great danger, and only saved
by spreading wet blanked on the roof.
The loss of Mr. Spooner of Ihe Museum it
$50,000, insured for 530,000. The build

GREAT riRK AT PHILADELPHIA.
Saturday last wat remarkable for exten
sive and very destructive fires. In addition
to that in Philadelphia, New York and
Buffalo suffered even more severely in loss
of property, though not of life. The spread
ing of the fires in all these instances, is
attributed to the extreme cold, which froze
the hydrants, and prevented the firemen
procuring the necessary quantity of wa
ter, in time to check the progress of the
flames.
The destructive fire noticed in Saturday's
Ledger, which occurred in Hart's Building,
northeast corner of" Sixth aid Chestnut
streets, between 12 and 1 o'clock, on tlwt
mornina", proved more serious than was at
first anticipated. There seems to be no
doubt Ihnt Ihe origin of the fire was on Ihe
third floor of the building, in the drying
rnom attached to Butler' copper-pt&te printing-office,
as it was in this apartment the
flames were discovered. The intense cold
ness of ihe niebt froze up some of the plugs
in the immediate vicinity, nnd had not Ihis
been the rase, the loss would probably have
been comparatively small as an attachment
was made as soon after tha fire was known
as possible, and hose carried to the loom,
but no water could be obtained. This un
fortunate circumstance, of course caused
delay, and by Ihe time the firemen could
procure water from some nf the adjoining
plugs, the flames, which spread furiously
fmong the combustible material, had gained
such headway in Ihe interior as to render
their efforts futile, and defy their most ener
cetio ami praiseworthy exertions. Seeing
tha entire establishment was doomed to
inevitable destruction, the firemen directed
their efforts lo the surrounding property, but
in a short lime the Humes had communica
ted to tha Shakspcare Building, on Ihe
northwest corner, ns well as to the law-bonk
establishment of Messrs. T. & J. W. John
son, adjoining on Chestnut street.
All Ihe teii.inis in Hurl's building suffered
heavy losses. Some of Ihe occupants of this
building lost all ihey had in Ihe world : and
from the rmiijh estimate made, SIOO,ono
would not more than replace Ilart'a build
ing as it was previous to the sad calamity.
Mr. George H. Graham meets with a loss
of eight fine steel plates, engraved nnd pre
pared for tho March nod April numbers of
his Mugazine. The Magazines for those
months, however, will not be wanting in
embellishments, as ttie proprietor has al
ready made arrangements to have otheis
engraved.
The Messrs. Johnson had a large stock of
law-books. Their loss, it is supposed, will
reach 550.000.
The house, No. 193 Chestnut street, was
occupied by J. W. Moore, bookseller, on the
first floor, and Ihe balance of it by Mr.
Brown, as a reslauranl, boarding-house, aud
the Democratic Head-quarters. This was
not materially injured by tho fire, further
than the roof, which was almost half des
troyed, and the rear end of the back build
ing, which wa slightly damaged.
The Shakspeara Building, owned by Wil
liam II. Winder, also contained numerous
occupants, whose losses are considerable.
Robert J. Pptrk had a billiaid-saloon in the
second story, and a bowling-saloon in the
third. The loss of Ihe Sliakepeare Build
ing, and the Block of the various occupants,
will probably reach $40,000. Mr. Winder
has an insurance on the building.
The Chestnut Street Theatre was several
times on fire, but the fire was so managed
by the use of the ladders of Iho Empire
Company, as to save it with but liille
damage. The water thrown into the build
ing caused a suspension of the performan
ces in Ihe evening.
The County Court-House, on the S. E.
corner of Sixth and Chestnut street, was
also on lire a number of times, nnd great
fears wero entertained that the whole
"row" with Independence Hall, would fall a
prey to the devouring element.
Some idea may be formed of Ihe difficul
ties Ihe firemen had to encounter, when the
mercury in the thermometer is known to
have been below zero, ut 3 o'clock in the
morning , at 6 o'clock it was 4 degree
above zero.
The most deplorable incident connected
with the fire is the loss of life. Up to the
present time the bodies of two colored per
sons have been recovered, but who they
were or where they belonged is unknown.
They where found embedded beneath a
mass of cuius shortly after Ihe outer wall of
the fhakspeare building fell, on the west
i.le of Sixth street.
William W. Ilaly, Esq., a member of the
Philadelphia Bar, is missing. Ha win in
Kindall't Music Store with George Mathers,
a clerk in ihe store, and several other per
sons, attempting to lemove some of the
pianos. Mr. Mathers states that while th
persons were in the store, the ceiling of the
second floor and upper timbers fell, Ihrow.
ing him under the counter, wilh a person
weaiing a grey coat, answering ilia descrip
tion of Mr. Il.ily. He (Malliere) then mana
ged to work his way through an apertuie
in ihrt cei i ig, ihe lath of which was burn
ing, and ran to the fiont door, but finding it
barricaded, and knowing the particular lo
cality of the store, succeeded in making his
escape out of the back door and through the
alley into Sixth street. At he wat running
out he fell on the hot grating, covering the
area in ihe rear of the store, and had his
hands and head very badly burned.
Mr. Mathers also ttatet that h heard the
person supposed lo be Mr. Ilaly, exclaim,
'kMy God, 1 am burning to death !" He
wat entirely unable to render any assistance
lo the other persons in Ihe room, and it now
lying at hit boarding-house in a precarious
condition. Mr. Haly left hit wife at the
United Slate Hotel but a few miuute be
fore tha digressing catuality. He had only
been married about six months, to a daugh
ter of Mr. Haldeman of Harritburg.
The other person in tha room were a
young man from Providence, R. I., who wa
with Mr. Haly, and officer LaiuhorT, Lipaey
and William Baker, of Ihe cily night police.
All but Baker barely escaped with tevere
burn. Mr. Baker resided in Creeeoii's alley
nd ha not been teen nor heard of line
thi falling of lb nmleiul feferred to.
Jesse Pyle, a member of the Robert Mor
ri Hose, residing in Washington street,
Southwark, and James Cook, wearing the
equipment of the tame Company, have
been missing since the fire. They were
just observed in Hart' Building, a moment
before the walls fell.
Thomas Grant ono of the Marshal's police
of the cily, was taken from the burning
timbers by James Sawyer, a member of tho
Ilibernia Engine Company, while enveloped
in Iho flames. This daring feat was per
formed while Ihe walls were totlerinr above
and scarcely had that efficient officer been
extricated from hi perilous situation when
they fell with a tremendous crash. Mr.
Grant is not expected lo recover from his
injuries. Other feats of daring were per
formed here which were deserving of uni
versal commendation.
Rkmaiks Focnu. Yesterday afternoon
the woikmen engaged in removing the rub
bish in the cellar of Ilarl'i Building found
the remains of human bodies, as well us a
brass plate, a gold watch, gold pencil, and
tha metallic portions of a poile-monnaie.
The whole were conveyed in a common
sized basket to the Mayor's office. The re
mains were thoroughly examined during an
investigation made by Ihe Coroner, and as
certained to be parts of two human being",
leaving no doubt of Ihe apprehensions pre
viously entertained thai Mr. Haley and Mr
Baker had met an untimely end in tho con
flagration. Tho brass plate was clearly
identified as being a part of the rattle of
Mr. Baker, it having his number, and the
division of tho police department to which
ho belonged, upon it.
The watch and chain found, were as
clearly identified ns Ihe property of Mr.
Haley, the first having his initials engraved
on it, and the latter being a purchase made
by him at Geneva, during his recent trip to
Europe. These proofs nnd facts have re
moved all doubts of the identity of Ihe bo
dies of Mr. Haley and Mr. Baker, anil the
jury of inquest decided accordingly.
We understand that by consent of Mrs,
Baker, Ihe remains of her deceased hus
band will be interred with those of Mr.
Haley, by the relatives and friends of the
latter.
We understand that the two firemen said
to bavo been lost, and for whose fate fears
have been entertained, have been found
alive and we'd.

A .MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.
DIED At the residence of Mr. Jacob
Wineniiller, in the town of Calais, Monroe
Coiinlv. Ohio, nn Satunlay morning, Dec. 6,
ELLEN MARTZ, aged (supposed) about 17
years.
TI.e subject of Ihis notice rnmo to Ihis
place, in April lust, in company with a
young man calling himself John R. Maitz,
(a tailor.) who professed lo be a gentlemen,
having tha projection and guaidianship of a
beloved sister devolving upon him. They
remained here as brother and fcisler, until
the 1st of July lust, when the wretch, fin J
iug ha could no longer pass as Ihe kind and
affectionate brother, but nvul be recognized
as tha baso deceiver mid vilt seducer ol Iho
girl, eloped, leaving a young, confiding, and
as wa believe, innocent female among
strangers in a stiunge land, fur fiom the
home of her youth nnd pennyless. Since
that lime the passed her liugeiing bonis in
the doepest mental agony, until the 4th iust.
when she gave birth to a daughter. Tha
memoiies of Iho past, ihe pre But, and the
fearful apprehension of ilia luli.rt werrt loo
much lo be borne by this young aud deli-
cate female, and sho immediately passed
into pnerpeial convulsions and continued in
sensible "o surrounding objects, (despite of
medical skill.) until Saturday morning the
6ih iust., when tho palo messenger, death,
closed Ihe scene.
Her remains were, on Sunday, ihe 7th,
genteely and respectfully iuleired in the
Methodist Episcopal bur) in-gronnd, in
Williamburg, Nubia Co., wheie she had,
last summer, signified a desire to be buried)
should she die in this country. Tha citizens
of our town, and particularly Mr. Wineniil
ler and lady, deserve lasting credit for Ihtir
untiring e (Torts in rendering relief to and
genteely disposing of Ihe remains of thit
heart-broken, iunocent and coutiJing child
of cruelly.
The deceatej wat an induttriout young
girl, of modest and ralher reserved habilt ;
and had, during her short tlay among ut.
deserved and obtained friend by the lady
like mannei in w hich she demeaned her
self. After the guilty wretch left her, the
declared they were man ied that ber
father' name wat Green that he lived in
Allenlown, Lehigh county, Fa. that the
became ardently attached lo J. It. Marts
and married hi in contrary to Ihe wikhet of
her father -that they travelled cootiJcrably
always passing as husband and wife until
Ihey enme lo Barnsville, Belmont Co.
There the heartless villain compelled her lo
pas as his sister. She also stated Ihat her
parpnts are wealthy that Marls has n cer
tificate of their marriage In his possession,
and other papers that will enable him in
Ihe event of her father's death, to receive
anything that might be left her by him. If
this statement be correct, the villain's
schemes ought lo be frustrated, nnd the pio
perly, (if any,) preserved for the mother
less nnd worse than fatherless babe.
A fragment of a Journal was found in the
possession of the deceased, supposed to
have been kept by Marlz, in which frequent
mention is made of the town of Sunbtiry,
and llnghsville, Pa , and Brownsville nnd
Danville, Indiana. John R. Martz is about
five feet six inches high, tolerably fair
complexion, has a large nose and a small
chin ; Is a tailor by trade, and professes to
be a kind of a lawyer. The last account of
him here was that he was in Columbus.
Ohio, still carrying on his designs against
virtue and innocence.
If the deceased was decoyed from the
paternal roof by fair promises and solemn
vows laken from her home and friend",
anil then shamefully scandalized and for
siiken, tha seducer deserves tho severest
punishment. If he was his confiding wife,
whom he had sworn to cherish and piotect
us the partner of his bosom and has thus
abandoned his punishment should bo still
m're severe, if possible.
The friends of tho deceased wid receive
all tho particulars by writing to Mr. Jacob
Winemiller, Dr J. M. Stout, or Dr. L. p.
Ellsworth, Calais, Monroe Co , Ohio.
Note. Tho above comes to us from a
respectable source, and we havn no doubt
the citizens of Calais believe tho fads stated
in it lo be true. Wo nie not certain whe
ther the name ol Martz is Jnliu I!, or John
K. It is diilicnlt to decide which Iho wiiter
intended the letter for.--En.
