u u a and you sought in vain through their writ ten laws and legal customs for any trace of Africa. Contrast their condition of to day with our own. Look at what they are. They are degraded and brutal ; their main characteristics are love of ornament and show ; they have not a form of gov ernment such as we have ; religion is al most unknown ; heathenism is running riot through the land, and sensuality reigns supreme. Ilayti is rapidly retro grading into barbarism. Tho negro's happiness, his chief delight, as his char acter has unfolded itself in that island is whnt it is here and w hat it is in its native land : idleness and an apparently instinc tive bloodthirstiness are its attributes. I refer you to the numberless revolutions and massacres that have Recurred fhere, and I assert that his highest delight is in massncreing his species. If evidence is wanting, it may be found upon every page of the history of emancipated Ilayti. Hostility to the foreigner is a ruling pas sion with the llaytian ; agriculture is abandoned, their commerce is dying out, and their population is decreasing with a rapid tendency to convert the whole coun try into a forest. I read from Mr. Mackenzie's Report in 1S30. In 1803 Ilayti was placed entirely under the control of the blacks, and in 1830 Mr. Mackenzie reported to the English govcrmcnt as follows: "lu 1780, there were exported 141, 089,831, pounds of sugar, 7,004,27-1 pounds of cotton and 70,835,210 pounJs of eotlec. In 1820 there were exported ."52,801 pounds of sugar, 020,972 Kiunds of cotton and 32,180,785 pounds of cof fee.". There is a consideration of some impor tance in this connection bearing upon the position that I assume, that is, that sugar (the production that is most palpably di minished) requires constant toil in its cul tivation ; while coffee (that maintains its status better) grows wild through the coun try. The latter has continued an article of commerce and is largely exported. The plow does not exist. The gold and other mines there are being neglected ; the ma chinery is worn out or allowed to rot out ; the forests are returning. Ilayti is rece ding from the light of civilization ; the people are becoming savage ; their habits are disgusting and heathenish. The con dition of Ilayti re-asserts the position that I maintain, that this race have no capacity for progress- Look at Mexico ; see what a conglomeration of revolutions is there ; see the degeneracy of that country : the legitimate result of a commingling of blood. See Central America and the Spanish col onies south all these furnish additional evidences of the truth of the fact I assert. LEARN BY EXPERIENCE. Let us then be warned by the experience of the past taught by the lessons of his tory. If (lod's law be the elevation of humanity, let us continue to elevate our selves and with Christian charity aid those below us to climb the ascending jrrade. If the law of the world be the law of pro gress, let us be satisfied with the proud position we enjoy, trying no new path but energetically moving upward in our yet bright career. Let us not fetter ourselves by halting midway to enable the African to reach us. Let us be wise and perse vere the sovereignty of our race. Let us estimate it at its true value and refuse to share it with those of whom history is silent, whose land is voiceless, whom vour own exjierienoe teaches are your inferiors, upon whom privileges are lo.-t, and whom the mournful lessons of a century have but served to demonstrate their inertness and stolidity. Chain is not to "the r.OIA" OF THIS DEATH." on: position toward the president. Let ine reply to an attack which the Senator fix m Erie has made upon my friend, the Senator from I Jerk?, Mr. Cly mer," and impliedly upon myself. The Senator attempts to show that in 1SC3 the Senator from Perks voted against granting the use of these hulls to Andrew Johnson, then I'rovisional Governor of Tennessee. He forgot to state, sir. that the Democratic party represented upon this noor, introduced as an amendment to that resolution a proposition granting it also to George P. McClellan, applause, which was voted down by the Republican party here, as the record will show. We there fore voted against the resolution in to-to. Jiut, sir, to go beyond that, I hold it a duty as a member of a party that have principles, to extend the hand of fellow ship to every man who places himself upon those principles and whether he be ! peasant or President, to sustain him with all my ability, with all my force, in car rying out and successfully vindicating ! those principles. If this be the position of j President Johnson, he has our right hand ' of fellowship ; if it be not his position, he ! Las our opposition. ' HATE ; A RAO POLICY. j Ix't me now turn for a moment to some ! of the arguments of the Senator from ' Bradford. He says, sir, "the people of ' the South have no rights that we should ! respect save to be Lung and to be damn ed, lhis is his very language. I re- ' gret, sir, that such language as this should ' come from the lips of any Senator. ! Mr. LANDON. I quoted that as the j language of Governor Prownlow, of Ten- ! nessee. It was not original with me. ' Mr. WALLACE. The Senator by ! using it becomes responsible for its senti- ' ment. j "TLey have no rights ; they are to be ' hung and to be damned." Alas ! Is this ' the nineteenth century and are wc enligh tened men ? Sir, go back to subjugated Hungary, to conquered Poland, and sec there men, trodden in the dust, with the heel of tyranny upon them ; see there the sore oppression of the Austrian and the Russian upon the necks of those men, who dared to rebel against a government 'that was above and not of them ; and say if you want to repeat in this country the scenes that have been there enacted. I trust that )our soberer moments, your more serious reilection will cause you to blush at such language, to shudder at such doctrines and to remember that "to err is human, to forgive divine." Sir, the Senator had upon his lips at almost the same moment the expression, "beaut' fur ashes, the oil of joy for mourning." If, with the ability that I know he pos sesses, and out of respect for the vocation that he professes, he had proclaimed the doctrines of the sermon on the Mount and of that glorious solution of the angels, "Peace on earth, good will to men," he would have been nearer, much nearer tha position that he should occupy. Sir, the hour for hate has passed and the hour for forgiveness has come; they who are states men should raise to the heighth of the oc casion ; and however much their vindictive passions might wish to wreak upon these people just punishment, yet the good of their country, the good of their race, the future prosperity of four millions of blacks and live millions of whites, depend upon the adoption of some other policy. A PLASTIC COVERNMENT. Sirs, the Senator says that the Govern ment is plastic a most convenient word, pbistic that it may be formed and moulded by the hand. And, truly, it is a plastic Government aye, a plastic Gov ernment when now, in obedience to King Caucus, at Washington, a cabal of men rule the nation irrespective of legislative or executive functions, and take upon themselves the power of a French Direc tory. Well may you say the Govern ment is plastic. Go back to the times of 1780, and remember that then the French Government was plastic, too ; that it was moulded and manipulated to suit th'; ideas of designing men, and used to op press and destroy the people : and out of it crime bloodshed fearful, awful, honi b!e bloodshed. No, sir ; as has been well said by the Senator from Perks, (Mr. Clymer,) this is no plastic Government. It is a government of law a government of law that you and I swore to support when we took upon us our duties in this chamber ; and they in Washington have unon them the same obligation. There is to be no plastic government in this coun try ; there are rights recognized by the Constitution that are to be maintained: the rights of individuals and the rights of States. Sirs, the secessionists in 1SG1 undertook, by war and bloodshed, to break up this Government, and they fail ed ; four long, fearful years of struggle saved the Government. Put your plastic Government would now seek to do by un constitutional legislation what the seces sionists failed to do in four years of war. Is not this so? Sirs, where now is your rallying crj- ? Are you now for the Un ion ? Or are you, in obedience to this ca bal of men at Washington, under the lead of Stevens, (immortal from liis ileeus in these halls,) moulding your plastic Gov ernment to sever and divide the Union ? Is this so ? or is it not so ? Are 3 ou for this Government as a whole, or are you on the other side of the issue This is a a question that must be answered some time and somewhere. THE COLORED SOLDIER. The argument that the colored soldier took his musket and did his mite for the protection of the Government, has been used, and is the great shibboleth in his fa vor. The whole number of soldiers called for from 1801 to 1SG5, as found in the" report of the Secretary of War, was two millions seven hundred and fifty-nine thousand and forty-nine men, (2,750,0 10 ;) and tho whole number received was two million six bundled and fifty-eight thous and five hundred and fifty-three (2,G58, 553.) The whole number of colored troops enlisted is one hundred and seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and seventy-live, (17S,075) not quite 200,000, as the Senator said. The greatest num ber of colored troops in service at any one time was 123,150 ; and that sirs, was on the 15th of July last, some three months after the rebellion ha'd been crush ed. Laughter. Suppose that these 123,150 men, about whom so much noise is made, ("ami who are said to have fought bravely,") suppose that those 123,150 men were Yankees or Dutchmen or Irishmen, how much would they have been missed in the whole, two million, six hundred and fifty-eight thous and ? There are four millions of these colored people, and out of these four mil lions, one hundred and twenty-three thous and carried the musket as against two million and a half of the white freemen of this Government, who took up their arms and did battle bravely in its behalf. I say that, comparatively considered, their rights sink into utter insignificance ; and Senators should be ashamed to prate about the great deeds of the colored sol diers. Sirs. I want to hear something of the men who did the battle in the heat and brunt of the day ; I want to hear something of the men who, in all those four years of strife, were constantly doing all that they could ; and let us not ba told only not be told only of the "heroism" of a few who were mainly placed there against their will. Pluck soldiers were equal in bounties and pay with the white soldiers. The colored man has been emancipated. (Senators say I desire to send him back into slavery. I pray 3 011 do not. commit me to that. I desire to do no such thing.) The result is that the black has bad his race emancipated while the white man has had his Government maintained. Let us be satisfied with ! the level of the African slave applause these results. The black has obtained ; or to an equality with the colored man. what, in the opinion of the .Senator from ' Sir, his blood shall be maintained in un Erie, he fought for ; and the white man, j sullied purity. Erect in his manhood, if you would believe him, has obtained ; protection in his labor and in his power what he fought for ; because if you tell : of sovereignty, the white laborer in the him that he fought to emancipate negroes he will tell you "it is false," that is the answer you will get from five-sixths of them. Put if you tell him that he fought to protect and defend the Government, he will say, "that is so, that is what I went j to do and what I did." The war is en ded ; the Government is protected and the black is emancipated, as a consequence of the war. Shall I denounce the means that brought about that civil war? Shall I here express my judgment as to what brought on that great calamity. The men who initiated it North and South, I denounce in unmeasured terms : Aboli tionists and secessionists are equally guilty. Great Applause A voice ; "That's played out." Sirs, it may be "played out" now, when the warnings of reason and experience cannot yet obliterate the consequences of that fanaticism ; and there may be other things in jour rule and reign "played out" too. A AVAR OP RACE?. Now, sir, what are you disposed to do? To agitate. In 18G1, you proposed "to agitate." You commenced "to agitate" in 1830, and you have been agitating ever since ; you agitated us to a war, and we got through the war with an enormous sac rifice of money and of blood ; and you propose to agitate further. The entering wedge is before us ; agitation is to contin ue ; and we are to go on from bad to worse until, as the Senator from Pradi'ord tells us, it culminates in a war of races. Heaven help the weaker when that day comes. Sirs, the instinct of blood is stron ger far than the lust for power. The in stinct of blood possessed by the vitality, the energy and the vim of the Anglo Sax on, the Teuton, and the Celt in this coun try will, when your culminating point has ! been reached, ride down, batter to pieces, I break into utter fragments any race that dares to raise its hand a-ainst them and j ask for equal rights in the government. I trust that a war of races is never to come but I affirm, Senators, that you are driving the entring wedge, you are increasing the number of points at which these races are to be thrown together. The points of contact between the races are bein mul tiplied, and the old fable of the iron pot and the clay pot will repeat itself: in every contest where the stronger comes in competition with the weaker race, the weaker must and will give way. Mr. Jefferson says, (as quoted by Mon sier Conseil,) that "nothing is more clearly written in the book of destiny than tho emancipation of the blacks, and it is equal ly certain that the two races will never hve in a state of equal freedom under the 1 same government, so insurmountable are ' the obstacle which nature, habit and opin- j ions have established between them." j This is the opinion of one who knew both races. the will of the people. This bill, sir, proposes to grant the right to vote to the negro in the District of Col umbia, and to take from the hands of the white men (because that is its practical effect) the contol of that municipal gov ernment. There are some fifteen thousand negroes in the city and vicinity of Wash ington, and seme eight or ten thusand vo ters in the District. This gives the control of the municipal affairs of the District to the negro. I suppose they will be discreet and not elect a negro as the lirst mayor. It is a vital point in the argument, when the people of a State or district, expressed themselves in an emphatic manner against a certain measure, it is an outrage to force that measure upon them. The will o,the people lies at the foundation of our Gov ernment, and those who do not express that are not truly the people's representatives. It may be said that the men in Congress were not elected by the people of the Dis trict of Columbia. They were not : vet they are, for all practical purposes, the immediate representatives of that constit-uencj-, and the will of that people ought to be obeyed. Mr. LOWRY. Who are the people? MR. WALLACE. The white peo ple of the District of Columbia. Mr. LOWRY. The white people ? Mr. WALLACE. Yes sir; the whites have some rights left yet. The' have the right to govern that District ; and until they say they are willing that the negro should partake" of those rights they should not be compelled to share them with him. protect the white i.arorer. The policy of my state upon this sub ject, sir, is my policy. In 1780, she emancipated" the si aves that were here and in 1838 she declared that the white race should govern the State. I accord to these people all their natural rights the right of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness ; but I deny to them political rights. I lis safety and the maintenance of Our rights demand this. This is a government made by white men and to be so perpetuated. Sir, that flag is the symbol of the majesty of a white man's law, the herald of the capacity of the white man for self-government. The ballot is the emblem of the white man's sovereignty. These shall never be bad ges of a weaker race. Sirs, the proud head, the honored neck of the white la borer yes, the white i.arorer. for "to this compaction doth it come at last" shall never with my consent be bowed to ' shop, the field, the highway, the sover- eign of the Republic, he shall be in the fu ture, as in the past, the sinew of the State, the vital element in the prosperity of the nation.

David Fleming, ,2raler of the Senate of Pcnn-flvania : Sin: I hereby resign my seat as Sena tor representing the Sixth Senatorial dis trict of this Commonwealth. I had intended to forward 30U my res ignation on Tuesday, the sixth day of this month, but on examination of the election laws I found that if a resignation takes place at any time before the last fifteen days of the session ol the General Assem bly, it would be the duty of the Speaker to issue his writ for a special election. As by a joint resolution the day of final ad journment has been fixed on the 12th day of April, 1800, I have deferred informing you of my intention until this day, in or der that my district may be spared the !

You will believe me that I sever my long connection with the body over which you preside with feelings of deep personal regret, constrained thereto by the new re lations which I bear to my fellow citi zens.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION. The contest in Connecticut on the 2d, was an exceedingly close one. It is clairn- -,, . .. . rrif. n'Art - ' Will li.lVf nliiinl (.(III nr 'IflM ni-ii.mtu The State Senate, is said to stand 14 Dis- unionists to 7 Democrats, and the House 50 Disunion majority a loss of 4 in the Senate and 20 in the House for the Dis unionists, since 1801. New Haven elec ted a Democratic mayor, Col. Sperry, by a majority of 1,550. Hartford gave En glish 312 majority a gain of 325 over the Lincoln vote. Conceding the figures to be correct, we have no cause to be discouraged. The I Democracy of Connecticut have made a gallant fight ; and, though defeated by a paltry few hundred, they have achieved wonders. They have gamed about ten thousand votes since last fill, when Buck ingham beat Seymour by 11,035 votes. This result is almost as glorious as a com plete success. The Democracy had little to hope for in any New England State, but having made a gain of 3,500 in New Hampshire, and about 10,000 in Connec ticut, in one year, let us be hopeful and tankful the tables are turnning the hbtt h tide is foot rolling back .' Patriot and I 'lUOTl. The New Hampshire Trick. In his I conversation with Messrs. Purr and In ! gersoll, of Connecticut, on the 23d ult., President Johnson exposed the chicanery by which his enemies carried New Hamp shire by a reduced vote. He said : " The principles of my restoration pol icy are fundamental. No man can ap prove of my policy and that of Congress at the same time. That is impossible. In New Hampshire it was proclaimed that both policies were supported, which of course, could not be ; but after the elec tion it was claimed that a radical victory had been achieved.' He trusted the peo ple would not now be deceived." tST A negro in Paris, Kentucky, who had outraged a white child ten years old, and afterwards murdered her, was, on Wednesday evening, taken by the citizens from the jail and hung. $SB A despatch to the Chicago Times states that an order received from St. Ijoui takes away War Department ad vertising from all papers in that city that hive baer. abusing the President.

A great many persons are at a loss how to di.-pose of the ragged and mutilated currency that accurnulateson their hands. An exchange says it is the easiest thing in the world, and without any expense. When you get three dollars worth on hand, put it in small packages, pin a paper band around, with your name, post office address and the amount, then put it in an envelope, and address it to the "Treasury of the Uni ted States, Washington, D. C." It goes and returns free of postage. You will get new currency in about one week from the time you start it. The Fiout Horn Law. The follow ing is Mr. Donnelly's eight hour bill, which passed the House on Thursday: An act for the protection of laborers. Section 1. lie it outvied, That hereafter labor performed during a period of eight hours on any secular day, in all cot ton, woolen, silk, paper, bagging, flax and other factories or workshops, in the Commonwealth, shall be considered a le gal day's labor, and hereafter contracts made for the employment of mechanics and laborers, in all the various branches of trade for daily laborers, shall be coi strued to be for eitiht working hours, to the day in any employment ; Provided, That this act shall take elFeet from and after the lirst day of July next, and, pro vided further, that this does not apply to farmers or teamsters. A lady who resides in Nashua, N.

There she tended it as though it was still living, and defied all endeavors to take it from her for several hours ; and it was only from the effects of an opiate administered to her that the efforts made were finally successful. The Hospital Records have just been footed up and they show the enormous aggregate of 253,000 Union soldiers to have died on battle.-fields and in hospitals during the war, to suppress the Rebellion.

In the Senate on Thursday last, Mr. Lowry read a bill to erect a new county out of parts of Venango. Erie and Craw ford, to be called Curtin. This is theTi tusville project. . New Election Law.

In strong Irish communities, it is sai l, the story has been circulated that the. name of the "no prefix" candidate is Macgeary : that he is a real "broth of a b'y" a "true son of the sod," occ. and that he only dropped the "mac" for "con vanience."
