First came the order of thc Secretary of the Xavy, Mr. Welles, as follows : Navy Department, April 10, 18C2. Sir. : The approach of the hot and k-ickly season upon the southern coast of the Unitexl States renders it imperative that every pre caution should be used by the officers com manding vessels to continue the excedlent sauitary condition of their crews. The large number of persons known as "contrabands" flocking to the protection of the United States flag affords an opportunity to provide in every department of a ship, especially for boats' crews, acclamated labor. The fl3g officers are required to obtain the services of these iiersons for the country by enlisting hemfrtebj in the Navy. tc, &c. Gll'EO?

Having made this progressive step as my colleague from tho Bureau district (Mr. Ion;; does it await an imitator ; General D. M.

This proclama tion commander, who vies in profundity with the immortal General Phelps, undoubt edly considers martial law the very jewel casket of American liberty. My mind, Mr. Chairman, revolts at the idea f degrading the citizen soldiery of my country to the level of thc negro. Sir, thc Ameiican volunteer has always been our re- ! liance in peace, and our vindication in war. I am opposed, and you will find the volun teer army of the Union opposed, t the equalization in the ranks of citizens and slaves. Having made such efforts for toe negroes of the I'nited States, it would seem that your zeal in their lhalf would lag and languish. Cut no; you now go waudering among the islands of the sea, and over th2 continents of the globe, in pursuit ol negro principalities and republics which you may t recognize ainoiij: the Rowers of the ;arth. propriety, or dignity. Tliis Congress Las been in session nearly eight months, ami all that I have reviewed you have eloile, and more you would if you c-'uld, for tin negro. What have you ac complished for the white man ? Have you provi led for the payment of pensions to the soldiers who have been disabhrd while tight- ing the battles of your country ? Have vou and necessities cf the w idows and orphans of ! white men who have jcrished upon the bat-tle-ficU's defending the Constitution and the flag of the ctmntry ? Ah, no ; your time has been too much engrossed with the negro to think of these things. You lave not appro priated one dollar for these purposes pur poses which should enlist the ability and thc sympathy of every patriot in tho laud. If this statement is incorrect; if the Re publican party or its Administration have ever made a single efibrj in behalf of the J maimed soldiers, a single appreciation for the support of the orphans and widows of 1 slain soldiers, I hope some gentleman upon emancipation, because Le knows that sr.d the other siele of the House will correct me. i den and unconditional emancipation would There is no response, and I am re-assurcd in the correctness of my asscrticu by your si lence. The alleviation of the sufferings of white men or the protection of their rights is not in your line of philanthropy. Like your illustrious prototyp 5, Mrs. Jellaby, of the Bori-bo-la-ga mission, or the Key. Amiai dab S'.eek, in the play of the Serious Family to the political branch of which you Aboli tionists will sxn lclot!g. your sympathies are "never active in behalf of practical and genuine benevolence. Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to all these sickly schemes for equalizing the races. God made tho white man superior to the bla-'k, andni legislation will undo or change the decrees of Heaven. They are unalterable as the laws of nature, eternal as divinity it self, and to legislate against them leads us to infidelity and. ruin. Since creation dawned, the white race has improved an 1 advanced in the scale of bring ; but as the negro was then, so he is now. " Hut," say the Ab litio:iists, "the African has been bl -ssed with no opportunity for improve ment." Who gave the white man an op portunity? God. in his ii. finite justice, placed the rv. races upon the earth at the beginning of time to work out their respec tive tht:nies. History has faithfully re corded their achievements To lh.it impar tial tribunal I confidently appeal for the venuealion ol tin; white man's superiority, As Gol ma-Io t'lem s have! they ri-inainnl. , . and unlike the abolition eip.iali.atior.iats I find no fault and utter 111 complaint against tl O M idom :iod in-liei. t.f i.nr f 'r.iMl.ir.

All along tf.eir Hue of march the church and the school bouse were erected as luiidmaiks of their progress. KM finally the idea of eqalizing thc races became popular; the attempt was made, the races were comingled, aiid tbencvf -Tward j the deterioration of the people was r.pid and fearful. This holds true n-. only in Mexico and throughout Centra! an 1 Southern Ameri ca, lut in all sections of the globe wherever the white race has comingled with the black or the Indian. This system of cqu tliz ation has failed to elevate the inferior, but has al ways degraded thc "superior race. On the other hand, wherever the purity of the w hite race has been preserved, its superiority has j continued, and its development, both mental j and physical, progressed.

To tura him loose in the maidi'iM of his physical strength, in the maluiity of Lis physical but in the infancy ol his unrc- stricte-d reason, wou'd be to raise up a crea ture resembling the splendid fiction cf are cent romance, the hero of w hich construct a human form, w ith al! the corporeal capa bilities cf man, and with the thews and sin ews of a giant; but being unable to impait to the work of his hands a perception of right and wrong, be finds too late that he Las created a more than mortal jevcr of iK iiig mischief, and himself recoils from the inouster he ha; made."

American statesmen should oppose it, not only ujkju that ground but also upon the grouutl that the Constitu tion gives no power to interfere with the do mastic institutions of the several States no such jnjwer either in peace or war. But to reach the goal of their bores, the abolitionists of this country are willing to override expediency, the law, and the Con stitution; t j destroy the government its.!f, in erder to emancipate at once all the slaves of the South. My colleague (Mr. L..-j--y) rays twer thirds or three fourths of the army are abo litionists. This may be true, but upon the new constitution f t the State e.f Illinois, which contains a provision to cxclule ne groes fre-m locating within t!

Throughout the State f Illinois aV-litioii- ' ists ara epp'ting this constitution, and ; 1 .'inocrats and conservative men are adv.- 1 , i citing its aJoption. t Four-fifths, and pcihaps nine tenths of j all the 11. eu that carry n.u.-kcis and knap i sacks in the army of the West are opposed ( to the doctrines cf negr ) equality and a boll tion, as preached by the gentleman frim the Bureau district of Iliin i.-. lie is a man of great lolelness, apparent !y. an 1 1 must do him the justice to say that he advocates ab olition a:id its consequences with great fear lessness, though he is too di.-creet to make as strong speeches in S ut::eru Illinois as he d.-es at Chicago.
