By reference to our special corrrtpotwenco from Harrisburg, our renders will find Jfudge Wilmut’a Philadelphia Speech lit full. - Though very brief—appropriately brief under let cir cumitnnces which called it lips the ring of the true metal'in It, and every Tijcpnb lican in this district willreadit with pritSe mid pleasure. Judge Wiluiut goes, to the highest council of thonation at a period by far-the most critical in the nation's history. -Ilie is sent by a great; State to 'spent for her in f of peace so tong os peace will preserve t tionnl honor, and to sustain the policy elated in the Inaugural Address of Prei L'ncoln. And the very fact that he gent at this time, and by such a large vote, ihmvs clearly that Pennsylvania endorses the pro Wed policy.of the new President, and repudiates with an honest heartiness the late driveling policy of the weak old man who is now reflect ing In the shades of private life ,on the. dis grace, which, I>y his weakness and wickedness he has brought nptonly upon his nativejState but upon the whole nation. What is the poli cy proposed ? It is “to exhaust every pejieoful means to restore quiet to the country without the employment of force.” What if | these means should at last become exhausted ? Judge Wilmnt answers this question in a fesj brief sentences. We must then >‘‘te pyepaM to meet any emergency that may arise, Xp man can tell what a day may bring forth, ambit is a matter of the : highest importance thpt we give all the aid we can to the Government, that our social, political and moralinatiluiioiist—that all.the institutions ls prtlgrnd. .They can only be preserved| By our ,united and earnest support." We believe ' that he thus spoke of the trne policy- of the adminiatijation, and this policy will be heartily endorsed erery where, not only by Reptjblicans.but by pajriuilc men of all parties who lore and Mlae t tional honor. . -o; . | It was fitting, too,'that Mr. Wllmot should refer to his tariff, view* in a city where |e has been purposely maligned , snd minrcpreijeoted upon this subject more ’than upon any i)ther. These views will, be vatiefactory to all Penn sylvanians andto all Republicans, as' they are, embodied- in the- Chicago Platform. A| little over four years ago Judge WilmotdrewjWnh his own band hi that city the “Philadelphia Platform." He followed it, as be had fußdwed' the *• Proriio” :through many defeats, ankjit.ie a proud day for biefrieuds, if npt for hipgelf, . that from that seme dity wa ahduid heaj him enunciate the aame .principles - in the boos-of native ikate.

There was considerable, rejoicing among the 1 friends of Wilmot and among Republicans generally. It was believed, and joyfully asser ted that his election vindicated the truthof the tact, that there was a Republican party in the State, notwithstanding the distrust with which recent’ acta of the State administration have been received. The Putrid and Union—a vile South Carolina sheet published here as the or gan of the Disunion Democracy—wasuntiring in.its abuse of Judge Wilmot'ns a matter of course, end called him every imaginable name, from a renegade to un abolitionist. True to their instincts, the jusuiticai democracy trial to Tiort him with the more radical Republicans by insinuating ‘ that Judge W. Imd been weak at the knees at the Peace Congress and had re ceived the congratulations of southerners for his conservatism I : In proof of this (hey cir culated the following passage from "Occasion al” in Fortieth* Pitts: “ Mr. Meredith took honctive pnrtin the de bates ; but Judge Wilmot, I am informed, du ring the last few days was frequently on the floor, end by his frank and manly course gain ed universal esteem. After concluding the first speech he made in the Convention, Gen. Doniphan, of Missouri, and several other prom inent Southern Commissioners, da well as those from the North, flocked around him and offer ed their cordial congratulations—thanking him for bis ‘straight-forward, courteous, and man ly’. speech.” • ■_ 1 . Now it is well known .that Meredith and Wil mot were the only.two of the seven Coaimis sionersfrom this State who vtere uncompromi sing in their hostility to compromises. Hanee the,Jesuits were not, able to effect their ends. I On Saturday night Judge W. arrived nt Phil adelphia on his w*y to take bis seat at Wash ington, and took lodgings at the Continental Hotel.' About H o’clock at night a large num ber o.' the new Senator’s friends gave Urn. the compliment of a serenade. He was introduced to the audience by District Attorney Mann and spoke as follows: jcDce wilhot’s speech. “ Fellow Citizens—l learn from those friends who are near about mo, that this salutation if proffered to me as a mark of public respect. — Permit mo, therefore, to express my no' nowl edgements and most grateful thunks.

KANSAS AND OTHER HATTERS. This afternoon Senator Gregg (Gov. Curtin’s uncle) offered a re-solotion, recalling a bill' friim the bands of the Governor, making on appro priation of $30,000 to the, people of Kansas.— The resolution passed unanimously, without a word of explanation. lists'hinted that from certain information’ received by Gov, Curtin, be threatened to veto the hill.', There is confessed-, ly some .mystery about this Kansas business thot time alone can clear up. The appropria tion hill has been reported in the House. ' It makes the usual provisions heretofore made to charitable institutions, and.also to, defray' the ordinary expenses of Government. There is little use in making even a synopsis of the bill at this time, as it will undergo a great many changes before it pass finally. / 1 was much amused the other day.on reading the following extract from a letter written by a friend of mine to the Inquirer, It is so trite that I give it to you without alteration, though I think it could be greatly improved:— “ It is said to be in contemplation to compile S vucabularly of slang phrases in use at Harris burg. so that the uninitiated may speedily,learn. A"Divvy” in the language of the Sulons, means the proceeds of the sale of a, vote. “ Get ting one’s .hunk in,” which is understood to be quite.a recent acquisition,indicates (baton-in dividual has been so fortunate ns to become par ticipant in a scheme. “ The Ring,” is an un holy alliance, which common, and of course vul gar, report says, is instituted fur'black mail purposes. A member who is *• fixed” 'an: any measure, is understood to have had influences brought to bear to such an extent that he has finally decided how to vote. When the . pro ject is “ set pp” it ir known that a plan fans been arranged'by which success will probably follow. Every one understands what a legisla tive “ snake” is, and how liable tbe " little Williams,” (i e.

" A striker” is one who remains in the city and hunts up the game to be slaugh tered at Harrisburg.

Parties- interegred further wilt please make application to a mem ber of the Legislature-.” It is but justice, to the members to say, that these slang phrases are not in use and are nut understood by many of them, and are con fined to the more mercenary and bloated mem bers of the Third House; some of whom are atill allowed to occupy seats os reporters, al though their real occupation is well known.

By the above it will be seen that Virginia increased her button crop up to the year 1826, n hen it was twenty-five millions of pounds. It then beguft to go down, till in 1850 it was only one and a half millions, and is now compara tively nothing. North Carolina increased her crop to eighteen millions in 1826, whence it went down to nine and a half millions in 1834, then up to fifty-two millions in 1840, and down again to twety miilions.in 1850, and still down I think, at the -present time. South Carolina increased her crop to seventy-three millions in 1833, thence it went down to sixty-one nod three-fourths in 1840, and- again in 1850 up >o one hundred and twenty millions. Georgia has gone up .to from nne-half million pounds in 17- OX to one hundred and ninety-mine millions in 1860 and is still going ahead. Alabama, from twenty millions in-1820,-ran opto two hundred and twenty-six millions in 1850 and still higher up in 1860. 1 Tennessee, from one million in 1801, ran opto seventy-eight millions in 1850, and is still a - very valuable cotton State. Mo sissippi commenced with ; ten millions in 1821, and ran up ,to one hundred and ninety-four millions in-1850, and the lost heard from her she was still j“ going up.” Louisiana, began with two millions in 1811, and fan up to sev ny-four and' a half millions in 1850 and still higher up in 1860. Though one of the best cotton States as to soil and climate she has not progressed as some othcj-s, her soil being devo ted to sngor.of which in 1849 she raised up wards uf two hundred atid twenly-sif millions of pounds. Arkansas commenced with a quar ter uf millions of pounds of cotton in 1826 and ran up to twenty-six millions in 1850. As a cotton -State, Virginia has gone down, her principal staple now being tobacco, baring raised in 1850 fifty-seven millions of pounds. That, however,, was a failing .off of nineteen millions of pounds from the crop of 1840. North Carolina is evidently in a cotton decline, Tennessee, it is said, can in ail except her southern counties do better in raising tobacco. South Carolina and Geiirgiil, it iasaid, are evi dently beginning to show the evil effects of con tinued cropping without .renovating, WhileTlo rida. though naturally weakly, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, bating her saccharine’ ten dencies, and Arkansas, are growing Cotton States. • Te'axs, which in 1800 produced twenty-three millions of pounds, is rapidly rising in the scale,.and bids fair to rival, in cotton growing, every other State in the- Uiiion', To.a finkn of capital, who ia not particularly sensitive as to the kind of labor he uses, or who'could go there with a complement of industrious and intelligent free laborers, Texas presents a .most inviting field for cotton growing. In the cen sus of 1850, the average of seed cotton per acre, through the whole State is put down at seven hundred ami fifty (siunds.
