Bidclle, Of Pennsylvania ; Ddivcre ' in the House of Representatives of the United States, March 6, lSGU. SSHB.W Tho House being in Committee of tho Wholo on the stato of the Union, Mr. Kid die addressed tho Committee as follows : Mr. Chairman: I thank .you forgiving me tho floor. I would not willingly let pass ths sonlimcnts which have just been uttered by my oolleaguo (Mr. Morris Da vis) without opposing to them sentiments which are, I bulSevo, moro characteristic of tho conservative people whom ho and I havo tho honor, in part, to represent upon this floor. At a citizen of tho border State of Penn sylvania, the views in which I havo been brod'in relation to the institution of slavery have been temperate, aud, I hope, just. It lias not been to mo an exciting subject, as it is to many with whom I am associated in this House ; for to some gontlcmon, very calm in their judgment on a-Il other matters, tho mere word "slavery'' secni3 to have much the same effect that a red rag has on a bull. I havo never been blind to the disadvan tages and evils of slavry ; I havo not been indiiTereut to their alleviation by practical, constitutional means; yet 1 havo ever regarded tho intemperate and aggress ive policy of the political auti slavery party to bo as sterilo of bonuQt to the negro as it ha.-.- been disastrous to tho peace, the prosperity, and tho unity of our country. This war has brought us, at la&t, to s,eo that there is a broader rnie.tion than the ''slavery question," though it is commonly preferred to narrow tho discussion down to that. Uut now the matter is brought homo to us, wo fiud that there is a"ucgro ques tion," vast and complex and cmbarrassiug, even if Elavery were blctted out of exist cuco. From tho earliest times, Pennsylvania has had her mode of treating these ques tions. Originally a, skveholding Stato, sho adopted, in 1790, tho policy of grad ual emancipation, extending it, however, only to tho futuro-bom children of tho slaves then living ; these children wcro to rcceivo their freedom at tho ago of twenty eight years. This groat measure was tho pxoduot cf universal publio sentiment, and was per fectly consistent with tho general interest ; to effect it, no prossuro, no compulsion from without was dircctod against our people. Had thcro icon, from what I hnovr of their temper, I should judge that slavory would havo existed among us to this day. As it was, tho last slaves djed .out within tho recollection of tho youngest ninu upon -this floor. By our common law, howovcr, tho no gro had never been a citizon ; so our high est court decided ; and when tho point was controverted, the people settled it definitely by amendiug tho constitution, so that to bo a "whito" man is ono of tho necessary constitutional qualification of tho elector. On our statuto-book, at this very day, is cur Stato fugitivo s,lavo law, far oldor than tho acts .of Oongrcts on that subject ; nay, oldor oven than tho -cluuso in.tho Con stitution of tho United States providing for tho return of fugitives. You pcrocivo, sir, that Pennsylvania oould havo littlo oxcuso for joining in tho insurrection agninst ,tho fugitivo slayo law, mcral Ipatitkal, . i. . or agaiust tho judgment of tho Supromo aspect of this war, my trust is not in tho all remember, charged it upon tho Prcsl Court of the Unitod States denying citizon-! holp of tho negro. Nay, sir ns one who ' dent, as a griqyous error, that ha wished bhip to tho negro, sinco vo have ourselves i has at heart the successful proso outjon of ,"to bring back Iho seceded Stat,3 on tho AND BIOOMSBUKG GENERAL ADVERTISER "TOHOLD AND TRIM THH TORCH BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, MARCH furnished tho precedents for Loth tho stat uto nnd tho decision. In our jtiBt indignation against tho pros- cnt vast rebellion, Ictus notontircly forgot that in too UiailV of tho nnrthnrn Sfntna n chronic rebellion against distasteful con . ,,u ! , i , . . stitutional obligations has existed for many yoara. In Pennsylvania, our distinctive school of abolition has been marked by tho mild benevoienco of our vcncrablo Sooictv of Jbncuils, whoso Christian charity embraced both tho master aud tho slave ; lot it not for ono moment bo confounded with tho flut throat philanthropy , whojo emblems aro tho torch and tho piko, which has can onized John Brown as a saint of tho church in which tho negro is worshiped. You will rarely find in full membership in it a man born and upon tho soil of Pennsylvania. From that church I am an open dissen .... . . . ter ; I differ wholly from thojo who look upon tho present as a "golden hour :" who regard it with cxhultation as the dawn of a black millonium. In mo, their hopes and schemes inspiro disgust and horror. Au eminent member of tho dominat par ty has promulgated his scheme for carry ing on this war. He has promulgated ii in mauy essays and speeches, to ono of which parlimcntary usage permits mo to refer, siueo it was not mado in his place in the Senate. He would not, it seems, trust to tho valor ef our armies and tho skill of our generals. Wo arc, like tho ancient Ilritous, to call in an ally to fight our bat tles for us ; our ally is.-to be tho negro. Southorn men, it is said, fight and let tho negro till tho ground ; we aro to re vorso this order. The negroes arc to do our fighting for us; a million of them arc to constitute our army ! In this pamphlet of Mr. Suinucr the black muster-roll is given. Ho says in his speech to the lie publican convention at Vorccster ; "Careful calculations demonstrate that of this number thcro arc upwards of ouo million of an age for military service; that in Virginia alouo there aro 1!H,GG1 male slaves of an age for military service'' If tho distinguished gentlemen from Missouri and Kentucky wish to know the number of theso black champions of the civil liberties of whito men in their re spective States, they will find it set down, here. In conclusion, Mr. Sumner asks this question : "Can ur afford to rejict this natural allhnce, inspired by a common inteiest and coitsicr aled bit humanity ?" A noble lord once urged in tho British farliamont the employment of tho Indians against tho British colonists in America. Ho said, this nobio lord, that "it was per fectly justifiable to use all the means which God and nature had put into our hands." Then, sir, tho great Chatham rose and blasted him with an eloquence that has become immortal. "That God and nature put into our nanus! 1 know not what ideas of God and uaturc that noblo lord may entortaiu ; but I know that ueh doteslablo principles aru equally abhorrent to religion and hu manity. Sucb notions shock every pre cept of morality, every feeling of human ity, every sentiment of honor. "Theso abominable principles, and this more abominable avowal of them, demand the most decisive indignation. I call upon mat rovcrcuca ana tins most learned bench to vindicate tho religion of their God, to support tho justico of their country." "1 invoko tho genius of Iho constitution.

I solemnly call upon your lord ship and upon overy order of men in tho Stato, to stamp upon this infamous proco duro tho indcliblo stigma of tho publio ab horrence" Sir, you will rcmorabcr, too, that it is tho standing reproach of American history against George III, that ho called in tho Hessian against his British subjects. Yet wo aro to call in tho negro! Mr. Sumner ask us, "can wc afford to reject this natu ral allianco?" Why, if, indeed, with our twenty millions wo cannot opo with six; if it is wo who aro in danger of extermina tion, then, perhaps, wo cannot afford to rcjeot tho allegianco with tho negro. A Fronch marshal onoo smothered his ene mies meu, women, and ohildrcn in a ,cavo j and when ho was arraigned bofpro tho public opiu.ion of tho world, ho pleaded "necessity." Now, sir, no man can sot limits to ne cessity, and no human intolligqnco oau orsqo all the exigencies of war; and I, for ono, ,havo boon unwilling to givo my adhesion m adyanco to any 6ot formula for their tlotormination. But, in tho nrcsent . OP TIIUTII AND WAVE IT O'ER this war, I would not vcuturo to array noainst tho Govern incut in toMMi T Imvn a part, tho sympathy of race.

He combats, as a fallacy, tho idea tals of our unhappy country she rejects tho that constitutional obligations rest on our reptile that she fostered.

Of theslavo you can not mako a soldier ; you may mako an assassin. But tho shrieks of white house- linlrta tnm-rloi-nrl nnrl irni-en Mmn t,,-,l ,1 by tho negro, would appall tho hearts and h.

It was discussed hero ou this floor lately what was moant by the great captain of tho ago when ho said ho was forced to givo battlo prematurely at Bull P.uu. Sir, I understood always that ho meant that pop ular impationco of delay precipitated his movements. Perhaps ho remembered how at tho beginning of Iho war with Mexico ,a congrcssicual int.riguo had nearly elevated over him an incompctout politician ho felt that ho nuut movo, or perhaps again experienco "a flro in his roar" from polit ical batteries.

Sir, I voted tho 1 other day against the bill prohibition tho return of fugitives by the military author ities. That bill was carried through-this IIouso under tho whip and spur of "tho previous question," after a single speech iu its fayor from the gentleman from Ohio,lo which no man was allowd to utter a word in reply. Ho represented, without any chance for contradiction, that tho military officers wcro .usurping tho functions of our civil judges and marshals, and wcro "run ning down and hunting down men, women, and children, as alleged fugitives from slavery." Tho simple fact, as I understand it, is this ; that in localities vhcro tho civil powor is extinct, and all its functions aro exorcised by tho commanding general in tho performance of his duty and his pledgo to protect all constitutional righln ho has protected right-i to slavo prop erty. Wo, by our recent legislation, havo inviduously discriminated .those rights as tho ouly on es which he shallfnot protoot, and that at u nioincut whon our armies aro occupying regions where thoso rights of property aro moro valuable than auy pther. Our army occupies a county, soy in Tennessoo ; tho Union men welcome it j their skv6a quit work to baDg around 22, 18(52 tho camp ; tho owners appeal to tho only authority existing for a remedy.

Sir, I did not choose to voto for that enactment. Whenoyer, in tho cnamolous "iviiuiuu UUUU1U1UU3 condition of things incident to this war, it rests wholly upon a military officer to sustain civil society and maintain tho laws 1 will not voto to restrict him in his duty. I believe that in tho progrcsr of this war wo shall constantly sco, as wo have sacn, tho civil power entirely superceded by the military. By tho rules of civilized war faro tho conqueror owes protection to peaceful men in their rights cf property ; I would not iraposo a penalty on our offi cera for performing this duty. Law and sound policy, in my judgment, dictate that they should perform it.

Tho Chicaco Tribune of tho 10th cf January, says ; Wo saw, a few days since two remarkr able specimens of petrified trees frocx Pika's Peak. They belong to thoUnivorr sity of Chicago, and so far as our knowl? edge extends, though a young institution it has tho finest aod largest specimens pf antediluvian forests with which wo aro acquainted. Vtilo tho ohango to stone, is complete, the wood is as perfectly preserved as if ec change had occurred. The petryfying ugout was silicia, and it may be seen en crusting some portions of tho surface ia whito and blue globules. From tho curvature of aanu&l rings of growth, we judge tho tree from which these spccimcus come to have been at leant four tcou lee1, 'u diameter, aud their number anu tincnness indicate that it must have required about ono thousand years to . grow that size. 'The larger spacimsn of tho two is over three feet in circumference at tho baco, on which it stands nearly erect end is fivo feet and a half h!gh,and weigh? ono ton and a half r3,000 pounds. Tha .other specimen is nearly uniform in eizo from end to end, whilo tho largo specimen tapers from tho base to about half tho size at the top. Tho specia to which thoeo wonderful spociinons belong has probably been long cxtinot, but appear to rcsomblo very close, ly iu every respect the California redwood. An Indian's Siiuewd.vess.
