It has doubtless beer read, however, by mjist of our readers ere this, and consequently it would now be useless foa us to publish it at all. Mr. Shermlx of Ohio spoke on Fridi y last, in tho House o!f Representatives, on the (t&te of the nation. He advocated the main ten:,noe of the Union andl the Government, remarking that the United Stales had been patient arid f jrbear ing to the last degree, and that South C irolina had wantonly made' wpr on them. Tie free navigation of the Mississippi must be preserved at all hazards. The question was not v hether tho Government should coerce State v but whether it shtjuld defend its property jand its rights.-- ! i 1' SHALE WE BACK DOWN Abraham Lincoln was elected President ac cording to the, fbrtng.preflorlbed: by the Consti tution, upon aj direct issue before the p|apls of the question ojf freedom or slavery in Jail the territories of; the United plates. ~ Jnstend of submitting gijacefußy; to tjhe will of Oie mfl -1 jority thus fairly expressed l , the cotton-growing j States at once made the election a. pretext for j their withdrawal from the Union. T3iat the secession of South Carolina- Was long jago re j solved upon in case of the election of a Presi j dent opposed to the spread of slavery Into the. j territories ondo consecrated forever to freedom and free labor, is,amply proved by the speeches of the leaders made in their eo-calledf Sover eign Conventions j and Mr. Keitt declared, before he left Washington, that the same re sults would have followed even the election of Douglas or Bdll. Such a glaring act jof dis loyalty and treason at once [excited the intense interest of‘every citizen of tbe Republic, and of course everybody is familiar with (ho stir ring events of the last sixty days. The mad ness of a pauper State declaring her indepen dence of a confederacy to , whose treasury she h*s never yet added n surplus dollar—her capture of the Federal forts and arsenals with out assigning any cause for such acts—and latterly the attack made upon the Star of the Wh(, ’over which floated the stars am; stripes —have each'and altogether aroused ibe just indignation ojf nil good citizens of all parties in all sections of the'country. Other States, inflamed to madness by the misreprese Rations of politicians; who seize upon the' trophies of the hour to fiirther their own selfish ambition, have made common c£use with the SI ite first named, and [have also 1 seceded.

Bat we tell them |hat the inost inconsiderable con cession is a surrender of principle; mid that we very much; mistake: the .temper of th| masses of intelligent! and thinking men, if tney will permit the least lowering-of the.

The great event if tbe past week, was Sena tor Seward’s great'speech, which he delivered onSaturday last. jPour hours before the time set—(meo’clock p.: s,—the people began to rush towards the Capitol (rind as early as ten the gal leries ofthe Sennts' were densely packed, and the lobbies were filled with people who could not gain an entrancsjland at about the middle of the speech the north-west gallery had to be cleared, not from at disturbance given, but because the pressure was so great that there was ganger to life faiid limb. Never, was there'such acrowd of people gath ered I together to hear any man before, even in tbe pklmicst'days cf the Senate when that, body was Wont to be i ddressed by Clay, Benton, Webster and Calhoun. Never again will such! a crowd gather to hear a speech from a Senator, bt cause the occasion of such intense anxiety on tbe part of tbe public, will havelceased to exist.j Seward, is a small man. His hair, once brown, is' intermix ;dl with grey, tbe latter color predominating. I'd) stoops slightly from age, (but when he gr jws excited, he becomes as straight as ho ever was. His voice is harsh and ijiissonant, and his manner and gestures are awkward; and un :ppth. As to his speech— that jmifs|be spoke i j)f in another place. Sena tors ,and; Menibeis have pronounced it the greatest production j|>f the kind since 1787. During its delivery the Senators on both sides presented a singular array of physiognomies. Camleton sat bch nd him and looked as if it soiled him exactly M King listened apparently indifferent; while £fie features of Sumner and Wilson.and Hale t bowed that they deprecated |its positions.

It is a secret so ciety, having its g gns, tokens, grips and pass words and numberf ten thousand men—some say Ififteon thousand —who are sworn to march ito this city at a mcment’s warning. Its leader Ss said to be Gov. Wise, and it numbers in its muster roll many of the citizens of the adjoin ing counties in Viiginia and Maryland, several members iof Congress in both Houses, clerks in the Departments, arid in Congress. Its original programme was to take possession here about tbe first off Fefarua -y, but this has been materi ally! changed since the 'Withdrawal of tho trai torsjfrooi tbe Cabiiet, and by the organization of the militia unde Scott, and by the conteringjdf troop; jin sad around this city; Yet the scheme is by no means abandoned. (Nightly meetings i re held here and elsewhere, and every department of tbe. government in filled with spies wjiio are watching the move ments of !the loyal-I officers.

'Mr. Sherman said that if t'hey wanted to discuss the Army-Bili they might do' so, iihdj Monday and Wednesday, were set apart for that purpose.— We have had three speechesyhr the Union from three Democrats who howled ‘their disunion threats last year, viz, Cosof .Ohio, Holman : of Indiana, and. McClerbard£of Illinois, Reagan of Texas and other lasserfflisunion lights have spoken. Of course the speeches have but 'one sentiment, and strange to say, that is the Bell-Everctt Platform, “The Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the taws.” ' . h. v. from Harrisburg. Special Correspondence of The Hakbisbusg, Jan. 16, 1861, I promised in my last to say something about legislation. Up to this time but little in that direction has been done. The election of a Senator, followed by the election of State Treas urer ; the reference of a great many private billsj to the appropriate committees, and the in effectual attempts of. sundry aspiring members to save the Union by their empty resolves— these comprise the doings of the “ assembled wisdom’-' of the state ’ thus far. : , Of the many propositions to , save the lotion from going to the dogs I-will speak briefly; -As early as the third day of the session, Mr. Thomas presented a petition from the eleven thousand citizens of Philadelphia (some said it was four hundred and,fifty-six feet long though I can't vouch for the truth of this, not having measured it) pray ing fat the repeal of so much of the 95th and 96lfi sections of the 1 revised Penal Code as re lates to fugitives from labor or, servitude. Mr. Williams, of Alleghany, then offered a series of resolutions which had the true ring in them, and: although many iitiier gentlemen since that time have offered in both houses, their plans for tinkering up the Union, none have given mens mubb satisfaction as these, and I.am satisfied that the people of your district would be con tent with nothing less. The substance of these resolutions is, thqt the present attitude of the people of South Carolina an armed rebellion against the Constitution and laws of this Union imperatively demand' the prompt and special application of puch measures as may be required to compel her submission, thereto; that, the powers of the Federal Government are abun dantly adequate to its own bv the enforcement of its laws; tlmt it is tbe duty of the President of the United States to see that these laws are executed ; and that all the power and resources of Pennsylvania may be comman ded by him if necessary for the purpose ; that if there be any grievance of which any portion of this nation has any just cause to complain, the remedy therefor is in the Union, and the means of redress are ample,and adequate under the Constitution of tjio United States; and that the assertion of a right on the part of the com munity, supposing jtself to be aggrieved, to re sist the arbitrament of the constituted authori ties,and to determine such question for itself is no more or less in substance, than an appeal to the sword. The resolutions go on to say that so long as the State of South Carolina stands in an'atti 4 tude of declared rebellion against this Govern ment, with arms in her bands, to resist tbe au thority of the laws, it would be incompatible with tbe dignity of this Commonwealth and her just pride as a member of this confederacy to treat with that State upon any question touch ing the performance Of our duties under tbe Constitution of the United States. That while the people of Pennsylvania in common with those of other of tbe free states have just cause of complaint that the rights of American citi zens under the Constitution have been denied to .themselves in some of tho slave states, they protest against the untruthful assumption, that they have in any way broken’ their covenanted faith towards the people of- any portion of this Union ; that they are satisfied with the Consti tution as it is, and will continue to stand bv and observe all it compromises; and that while they are ever ready of their own free will, and without regard to menace from any quarter, to redress any wrong which may be fairly imputed to them in tbe spirit of justice and with the magnanimity which becomes the people of a great and powerful State, they will expect and insist that every other State of the Union ehall do the same. That secession is revolution, and its,inevitable consequences, war; that the in tegrity of the Union, must be maintained and defended at all hazards and under all circum stances; and that upon" this question the peo ple of Pennsylvania will be, as they have over been, a united people. Now so far from being considered national and patriotic, and promptly passed by both Houses as they ought to have been, these reso lutions were .laid over and fillibustered .ont of eighty. Since that time Armstrong of Lycom- J 5^ l fi»:4ipenate) Wharton, Welsh; McClure, LeiseiSing|'and’ others have tried each in hie jvay to save the Union.. Far better than all their methods was the simple proposition sub mitted bn Saturday .by,Mr. piliott, one,of your members—in the form of a Resolution' as fol lows, which was laid over under the rule: Bemhrd, Xhat the Governor be, authorized to ten der the military force of the State to the President of I fie (Jailed States to aid him in the enforcement of the laws, and that the appropriatevommittce be, and they are; hereby Instructed to report a bill making such np prdpriations as may be deemed necessary fur ,the sup ple of nuns and ammunitions. Such » resolution as this; in. my opinion, will doj mpre towards conciliation Than any other legislative remedy for ■ existing difficulties yet ithought of: for, just as soon as the Southern irebels see that Pennsylvania js in earnest about fhk enfortement of thelawa and tbe preserva tion of the Union, they may calm down con siderably.
