Pennsylvania is a great State, a rich State, Sir. We have great interests to take - care of ; a great commerce, a great trade, great manu factories and great corporations; and; unfortu nately,,in the estimation of many nersons, these first require our care, and our people and our honor, in their: eyes; are but of secondary im portance. Southern rebellion and secession af fect the first of these materially, but the"grim visaged • front of war" might be still. worse upon them ; the counsel therefore is corn compromise, Concession, Moderation. Beside all this, our philanthropic merchants and stock jobbers ask, "Are not these. Southern men our brethren, bane of our bone, and flesh of our flesh ?" I answer to be surethey are ; though sometimes, it must be confessed,they do act very like step-brothers. They are, indeed, well dis posed to clothe us so long as tar and feathers hold out, but not so wall.-inclined to feed us ; but, on the principle that ."half. a loaf is better than no bread;"'we sholild - ineeklyreceive what their-brotherly hands choose to mete out to us;. and grumble just as little as possible.

Sir, this will not do for Pennsylvanians. I-reiterate the battle is before us—we must figit it ciut. Half way measures avail no longer. On this subject we should have no party spirit ; we should have in this House a nnited--sentt tnerit, as I firmly .believe there is among our peoPle—we must meet,. We must stay this fright ful tide:of barbarism that - is • preparing to en gulf us ; we haire - the power so to do; let ut exercise it'promptly. _ I know, indeed, that the way before us is as the valley of the shadow of death, but I know also. that behind us is the, bottomless. pit. The Egyptian darknesi is hang inglaround us ; we have had the frogs and the lice, hat let Os take heed that our first born be not also stricken. Towhat has slavery brought qs ? down to that condition ht which we are led to doulit'otn! Rational. existence. Our fathers with much toil, and much blood - swell this greet political fabric ; they said, "we has founded-this-upon the mighty rock of ages, it can never be moved," but we are now told that the foundation thereof is unstable sand. that the merest . political rill may undermine and destroy it ! Do you believe this, Sir ? I do not. Let no man fear. Our government is still a strong one; strong enough to defend its own life. Its destiny is not yet DWI led ; the same great God who called it into existence. yet rules and reigns ; and under his hand and by his power it will arise and shine, and wax yet stronger and stronger, and an hundred mil- Hops of people will live 'under it and bless it, long after you sir, and I, and all the men of - this House are slumbering in the si lent dust. Look at these slave States, blight ed and cursed, growing poorer and poorer year by year, and sinking downward into deeper and deeper barbarism. Slavery like a ghastly vampire has chunk up their life's blood, and should this state of things Continue for many years , longer, the far South will be a wilderness, inhabited only by blaek savages, Now,. Mr. Speaker; these are facts not to be gainsaid or denied, and the time has come when it is only weakness longer to palliate or conceal them. It is high time that- these secessionists were learned to know that they must submit— if not to reason, why then to powder and ball. Nortfiein insurrections have always been piompt ly quelled by the strong arm of the Federal Gov ernment,, and we can conceive of no reason why Southern insurrections should be treated with any more consideration. Our people have spo ken out in unmistakable language against the aggreigons of- slavery, and they did •not send us here to temporize. They did not send us here to represent cotton and merchandise, but to speak out: Strongly, firmly, boldly,. even as they, have spoken. Pemisylvania. is. a,great State--aneapire Within herself; 'her voice has always. been potent in the counsels! of the Na tion, and she must not now, in this crisis, speak Perhaps, - Mr. Speaker, lam all wrong ; but _there is something within me that exults- , over the present crisis. I feel as though the days of slavery were numbered ; though - the tithe had come when the great battle between liixity and slavetils`to be fought, and.with the eye of faith-I look. 'forward to the end :when eternal truth, like gold tried in the fire, shall come out unseith.e4 shining only the more brightly for the fiery trier; when my country, a= from the dust of her degredation, and ve in the bloOd of her political regeneration, shall stand: forth the fairest, the •whitest among' the nations of the earth. I tell you, sir, the day is coining when the banner of this Union by the common - consent of mankind, shall boat above every other; when the stars and the stripes" shall be to the' nations what the cross is to the church; the cynosure of Liberty it The conduct and result of, our recent political can vass have been hapPy forerunners faVorable omens of this result. The effect of that canvass has been to take the power of this Government from the hands of the South, in which it'was lodged from the very beginning of that Gov ernment, and to give it to whom it should al ways liaVe belono t' ed, even to the freemen of the This: North: result was not achieved by vio lence and fraud, but by the most lawful and peaceful:Means. NOw, since the beginning of our nation did the people more completely vin dicate their ability for self-government. The mechanic came from his work-shop, the' farmer from his field, the laborer from his work, bear ing with them the broad banner on which was inscribed "free men, free labor ' and free sneech ;"their, armies of thousands, of tens of ed along our streets, and with out violen • votes: The policeman 100 e. y, folded his arms and, for once, found his office to be a sinecure. lam proud, sir, of such - men ; I glory in these red shirts ;, the country is safe in their hands, and until they fail us I will never despair. Now, sir, shall I, acting, as one of the representatives of these men, falsity their senti ments and thus prove recreant to the trust re posed in me? I neither'can nor will do so. As I have before said we, have npthing to compro mise • we have done no wrong, and we are un willing to confess Ito. crimes of which we are guiltless. The result of the recent contest has been to re-localize slavery ; to thrust it back within its ancient limits and there let it re main. We do not now and never did propose to interfere with theconstitntional rights of the Southern States, onto'intenneddle with their internal policy; but we do 'mean, that slavery shall never set its accursed' feet upon another inch of free soil. That soil is reserved for freemen and free labor, and there is no power under heaven that is able to convert it to any other purpOSe—ancl I say now sir, that just so soon as the. Republican party•begins to daily with thie'llick 'courtesan of the South," ha did the Whig and Demodratiepattles, just thatsoon will it walk the same road ; and be buried-in the same grave that now 'covers their remains. A mightier than King Cotton las spoken, 'and we had better stand in awe of him, foi he is to be cheated and gulled no longer. You cannot now stem this great tide of freedom that is rillling,over this land.

Those who would save thernselves • had better get' out of the way, ,or ; float- along :with it.
