It is said upon such statute of liberation, and by reason pf Its .enactment, the slaves'will rise {h insurrection ? ‘ To say this is to Übel human nature in Its lowest es tate. Gratitude is iuseperable from the human heart in evepy, condition of’life, in every zone of the earth’s surface. To shiver the fetters which bind in cruel bondage the. souls 'of men,- will not exalte in tho u’hatred or ang6r or, re venge, but will attune "the hp.lrt to’ the sweet tfaelody of virtue, and inspire their hymns of thanksgiving to their deliverers. Sir, if after your enactment of this statute of liberation, It will not be because by jour law they are declared freemen, hut ■ because their traitor masters, in your law, continue to deny them their liberty. A slave insurrection however much to ho deplored, would nlther weaken your arms nor strengthen those of your rebel enemy. Whoever urges, therefore, such objection to this useful and just legislation, must whetper conscious of it or not, assume that rebels who, without, colorable ex cuse, wage a cruel and exterminating war against their fellow citizens, should not be de prived by Government against which they have revolted, of the means by which they may make their rebellion a success, and without which they must.ignominiously fail. Pass this just and benificent law as an act of justice to your country ; pass it as an act of justice to your brave army of loyal citizen sol diers who stand this hour between you and the armed terrors of treason in the capital; pass it and crush this slave rebellion at once, and thereby make a like rebellion for,a like, object forever impossible in the "Republic. T pat. the question to tho Representatives, is the alleged property of these rebels in four millions of slaves and in their lands and crops, goods, moneys, and chattels more sacred than the lives of your soldiers, and the lifo of your country ? May God hide from my eyes and from the eyes of my children the day when the dying agony of my country, shall begin. By no act of ours, either of omission or commission,.may contrib ute to that direst and blackest crime which cun he committed by any people —the crime of na tional suicide. Who does not know that he who has the power to prevent the crime of self destruction, and withholds or refuses its exer cise, and thereby permits the deed, is himself a murderer ? Why, I ask, in the name of eter nal justice, should the people’s treasure bo ex pended at the rate of 82,000,000 per .day, and the people themselves be mangled and maimed by these rebels, rather than end the sacrifice of treasure and of blood by a’ sublime acts of jus tice which will give liberty to the slave, relief to" the people, stability to the Constitution," peace to.a. distracted countryman! make the Republic what its illustrious founders intended it to be—a temple for the '“perpetual residence! of an inviolable justice,” a refuge for the op pressed, and a sacred sanctuary for the rights of mankind.

The several States vie with.each other in offering troops to the Central Government, and an official journal states that in a short time there will be an army of 150,000 men,, with six hundred pieces of artillery, yeady to move upon the invaders. Uraga was prepar ing to dispute the passes above Vera Cruz with about 20,000 men. Tampico, which it was.at first resolved to abandon, is to be defended, nnd it is thought, with a reasonable prospect of success. The war is accepted, in fact, by the entire people as a struggle for National ex istonoe. With this idea they will fight with desperate resolution.— [Buffalo Courier, Cul.'Jenniaon,TCansas Ist Cavalry, is a small man—delicate constitution ; a physician—orig inally from Livingston County, N.
