SEWARI O g , OPINION. The remarks made by Mr. Seward, in the• United States Senate, on presenting the memo rial of 38,000 citizens of New York, in favor of the Border State'S Compromise, carry with _ theta deep significance.. The position of the Senator, in favor of comproiniae and conciliar lion, cannot be-Mistaken, and should meet the approval of overy man, who desires to see our national iliiii s Oulties settled, before they aro forced to the point of national ruin. If Mr, Seward would achieve a greatness far more enduring than the triumph of party, let him' ,throw the weight of. his influence into this measure, and enrrylt forward to completion, In presenting the petition, Mr. Seward, said:— • ' , TIM, although the Senate Chamber was the largest legislative 'chamber ever, erected . since the beginning of the world, except the House of Representatives, this memorial would cover a space thirty•eight limes as large as thitO chamber. He had already presented a similar memorial with 25,000 mimes, all urg ing conciliation. The committee who brought this memorial were the representatives of the largest commerce in the world—a commerce which in any other country would be pare , . mount to all other interests. Ilappily, here ityas not so. lie had been requested to sup port the view's of this memorial, and regretted that he had seen no disposition on the pelt of • the adhering States. He, however, held him self open to such propositions, and was re• joiced at the fraternal feeling manifested by the people of his State in these memorials. Ile did not fear for the Union, nor did he believe these difficulties would certainly be settled in thirty, sixty or ninety days; butt nevertheless he believed they would behottled. All plat forms or men that. stood in the way of the preservation of the Union. would be swept away. The question.of slavery or freedom in the Territories had been greatest in 1850. The admission of KOnsas, California and Ore• gun had reduced the question to a very mar: row compass. In that part which remained, all: being slave territory, over which a slave code extended, there were but twenty•four slaves—but one for evkry 44,001) square miles. ',411e did not. fear slave aggression which had only carried twenty .: feur slaves to ail that' territory. Why then should ire despair of the Hellen? Why could he believe that 30,000,000 of people would reduce themselves to the scorn of mankind by the dissolution of this Union for !Alit question? This was a confederation, not an Imperiffil government. Submit the question to a Convention to he Milled accord ing, to the forms of the Constitution, end the world would Bee how thirty-four States could peaceably adjust this difficulty. Ho urged,, as a last. resor,t, if ether means failed, the call ing oftiu , National Convention 'according to the Constitutional forms. He concluded by say ing Abet he had advised the gentlemen eon'. positig the committee Wltniind brought on the memorial to go home and speak for the Union, vote for the Unietf; to contribute their nioney to•proservo the Union, and when all other• ex pellients f tiled, to fight for the Union:" ' THE ISSUE It is 'certainly discreditable to' . .thi!?. in.this'enlightened age; that men shoit" for their passions 'and predjudicas to t earri l l I,hean 011ie verge of civil war, with all its at tendant: horrors, for a more, abstyaotien—a principal of no practical value. . The great bone of contention between the North and the South, is the settlement of the Territories; and - yet the qucstioa, muoh as intereWpoliticians may endeabor to magni fy its ',importance, is just as capable of air easy, peaceful solution as any, other, if men would rise abovoz the paltry, predjudices of party, and in asptrit of conciliation, give quiet to*the country, by an honorable settlement. It is a delusion on 'the part of the South to suppose that the North can be intimidated into concessions, and it is equhtly false for Nor-. theme men to imagine, that 'an himest recog nition of the rights of the - youth, and an ear nest desire to preserve the 'Union by a com promise, is an evidence bf that intimidation. By the Chicago platform this itepublicans declared; "Vhat the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that' of ; that as our republican • fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national. territory, ordained that "no ,person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due procesS of law,", it bebomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legisla tion is necessary, to maintain this provision of. the Constitution against all at tempts to vio• late it ; and we denit he authority olCongress, Of a Territorial Legislature, or of any hull ',ideals, to give .legtol existence to slavery in any Territory of the United States."'- . Here, the broad principle is laid down of free labor for the territories, to the exclusion of slava labor, and yet practically cotisid ered, it is a mere abstraction. Every 'intolli gent man ; knows that:the itatus of the Terri tories, is fixed by a law which no human power can revoke, Congressional intervention, how ever invoked, cannot legislate slavery, -where • NatUfe'never intended it should go; and this .l is evident from the fact, that although the territories have been open to slavery!, since the decision of the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, but to:Too-Aar slaves are. to be ifmand in all the territories of the United States. What avails a law of Congress, against the " higher law" of soil and anode? The South has neither the noes or the slaves to .sTftlio new (erritory, noo:"would they be silly enough to take their property into a territory, with the fact Staring them in the face, thin within a few years that territory must become a free State, and theirproperly of do value. Why then, should 'we fear slavery aggression ? Why should we, as .Rvpublicans, stake aloe Union, upon au adhereace Brun 'abstract principle of right" The whole North did acquieseeitithe Missouri Compromise line; and its' re:&linbllAment in• voices. no sacrifice of principle, but merely limits it, by stipulating that scull' of that line slavery shall not be prohibited. Certainly tho fruits of a lung contest should not be given .up, but if any one can'tatte pleasure in refits lug to do, what no^principle forbids to be done,' merely to humiliate n beaten adver<try, we are not of that number. the'language of Senator Cameron, “This is no time for party. It is n question of country," and ought to be met in - a fraternal spirit. r,Z - Small demagogues; are very fond of stigthaiiAng moderate Republicati . s - , - M4 '•liirl eaicrs," and weak-kneed politicians." Such cxpressione may do for party hocks, who have no - ambition vabovc,the„ sordid love of spoils; and who would stick to the platform, though the Union should full; but, the conservative element of the is in fa s vor of pence, and believe, that in saving tie Union, they savo all else beside. II is idle now to criminate nod recriminate, by tanning a parallel of wrong between the North and the South. It is enough to know hat the evil of distinion is on us, and the tines lion is not, who is responsible for the post, but who is to be responsible for the future? When the rush of evhts is whirling the Bor der States to the brink. of secession, it is no time for the Republicans to fold their arms, and taking their i ppsit ion ()tithe Chicago plat• form ask, "are we the Union l a keger?"

St. V.ALENTINE's DAY.—Thursday next, the 14th lust. will be celebrated as the feast of St. Vplentine, when " youngmen and maid• 'ens," after. the manner of the feathered bipeds, choose Weir mates. We notice that the Book and Fancy stores, are well provided with Valentines, from the veriest caricatures, to the highest achievements of art in that line ; where rosy Cupids, fulltledged and un• fledged hearts, darts, loves and doves display all their blatidishmenis , to the admiring, gaze of unsophisticated belles and beaux. By the way, the almanac says, that the weather on the 14th will be cloudy ; and we wish our young, friends,tmemember, that if engage. 'lncas should grow out of Valentines,• the cloudy weather may change to lilac slurdls DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—About 4 O'clock on Tuesday morning,. fire was discovered in the-school-rooms, on the lower floor of Educa tion Neil l :and the alarm being given, the fire companies repaired promptly to this spot and succeeded in saving thohhilding, though in a-P damaged condition; so ninbl so, that the whole inside will have to be taken batrind repaired in tlurnew: The school -rooms were entirely burnt'out, and all the furniture, and many of the heels destroyed. In the Ilall,jhe library, which was quite large, was so much damaged uO' to be almost worthless. The building is the properly of the School Direetbrs, and the loss is folly covered by insurance in the , Franklin Fire Insurance„co., of Philadelphia. The buifding NV 119 doubtless set on "fire by some ova disposed pet-son, though every one is at a loss for n motive 'for such a fiendish act. The fire seemed to have been kindled in one of the back rooms, in the angle formed by the partitions, and consequently a space 'of some twenty feet, in the centre of the-build ing is burnt entirely through, whiletthe'wciod work in the immediate vicinity of the stoves, is uninjured. ACCIDENT.—A freight con= ductorommed Thenomts MYERS, in the em ploy of lIENDEDSON s REED, of this place, was severely injured on Monday, at Mechanics burg, by falling on the (rook. He was in the act of coupling hia cars, when the jar, caused by starting the train, threw him off the plat form, the 'ldeals passing over one leg, below the knee, and crushing the heel of the other foot. Mr.ll.trunswas brought to his residence in West Street, and is now under the care of Doctors KIEFFER 1111(1 DALE. 1t is uncertain yet whether the physicians will be able to save his limb from amputation. e .opo half of the 'accidents to freight conduct ors, occur in the not of coupling their cars. Cannot the "universal Yankee Nation" invent somo kind of eolf•aoting coupling, that will avoid the present dangerous mode. There's a hint now for some fellow to make a fortune. AN EARLY SPRING.--Thero is an old German saying, that if the sun is not visible on the 2d day of February, we will have, an early spring .. They say, that on that day, the'groued•hog, makes his first appearance for the season, and,if he can see hie shadow in the sun, he goes back to his hole, and re mains there for six weeks, during which time we have "a spell of weather." If on the contrary, he cannot see his shadow, he re mains out, as spring is at hand. On the 2d last, the' Sun didn't make his. appearance; if the ground•hog did, consequently, if the le• gind holds good, we/may-look for an early spring. This rule - holdskoksverywhere, except on the eastern shore oriiaryiand, where, it is said, ground•hogiltnd surface hogs are so. poor that they have no shaiii4, „.' . • THE NA.ItICHT PAVEMENT. --We weld call the attention of the Council Co the condi tion of the Market-house Pavement. The . increased attendance would seem to require that the pavement should be widened, but if that is not 'practicable now, it might lie re paired. Outside, it is .sunk and broken in some gams, rendering it unsafe iu slippery weather, arid at the ; insida near the angle, it is so low that the water.from the square over flows it. A little attention to this matter ivould merit the thanks'of, the market-going people, especililly the ladies. 1800.
