The body waa taken the previous Monday to North Elba, from New lor, under the charge oi sirs, juua Brown, accompanied Dy enoeu rnuiipe, Boston, snd J. Miller McKim, of Philadelphia. alonir theroad testimonials of respect were offered to tbe party, landlords refusing to receive compensation out of regard to the deceased, who appears to Have been greatly esteemed in the localities where he once travelled. About ten o'clock on Thursday tbe neighbors John Brown, to the number two hundred and titty, perhaps, commenced to assemoie, ana was decided tbat the procession should start from the bouse of the deceased at twelve o'clock. twelve o'clock tne bouse was filled with the friends and relatives of the deceased.

An hour so was spent bv the assemblage in taking a last farewell of the body. The entire family embraced the deceased, and then falling back al lowed the friends to come forward and view toe corpse previous to its being conveyed to its last resting place. The procession started at about one o'clock, preceded by about a dozen colored persons, singing Blow ye the trumpet, blow!" a favorite hvmn of deceased, with hich be used to sing his children to sleep. 1 ne coffin was borne from the house by six young men, and followed to the grave by the mourners in the following order Theeorpee.

McKim said that the grave of the martyr had been made in the very spot selected by him- seil. Ale also reaa tae inscription tor ujts ly monument, which Old Brown wrote after his last interview with his wife, and which was sent to her with his dead body. Tbe inscription waa accompanied by some directions about nis property, aud also by the following letter the last, probably, that be ever wrote wv tm.v wife hv time to enelosethe within and tbe above, which I forgot vesterday, and to bid you another farewell. -Be of good chter," ana God Almighty bless. xouracscuooaienusoaau.

McKim was followed by Wendell Phillips, whose remarks closed as follows Men said Would be had died in arms God ordered better, snd irranted to him and the slave those noble prison hours that single hour of death granted him a higher than the soldier's place, that of teacher the echoes of his rides have died away in the hills a million hearts guard his words. God bless this roof make it bless ns. We dare not say bless you, children of this home; you stand nearer to one wnoae lips God touched, and ws rather bend for your God make us all worthier ol him whose dust we lav amonz these hills he loved. Here be girded himself and went forth to battle. ulier success tnan ms neart ever oreamea ijoa irranted him.

He sleeps in the blessings of the crushed and the poor, aod men believe more firmly in virtue, now tbat such a man has lived. Standing here let ns thank God for a firmer faith and fuller hope." The coffin was then lowered into the grave. Just as it reached the bottom of the pit, and as the first shovel of earth grated harshly on the ear, the Rev. Mr. Young lilted up his voice, and, in loud impressive tones, exclaimed 44 1 have fought the good fight; I have finished my course henceforth there is laid np for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judtre will give me at the last day." 1 he work of filling in the grave having been nertormed.

Mrs. Urown and her relatives slow ly wended their way back to the house, but the great bulk of the crowd remained gazing on the mound for an honr or so after all was over. A correspondent of the Tribune thus describes the house ot John Brown "Tbe bouse is a medium-sized frame building, such as is common in that part the country It has four rooms on the first floor and corresponding space above. The next morning I had an opportunity for the first time of seeiug the place aa it appeared in daylight, and of beholding the surrounding country. On opening the front door a gloriona sight sainted me.

Directly in front, apparentlyperhaps from the tbinuess of the atmosphere within two or three miles, but really much further off, looms up a rugged chain of the Adirondacks: broken, jagged, massive and wonderfully picturesque. 011 to the left stands iu solitary grandeur the towering pyramid called White Face' deriving its name from the color of the rock on its summit. Tbe Saraoac and Ausable flow at each side of it; and just at its base they tell ns is Lake Placid, a sheet of water famed throngh all the country of fine lakes for its exquisite beauty. On tbe right is to be seen in the distance the peak of McCreary, and on the right of that again, and still further on, Wclntyre, the loftiest pinnacle of the Adirondack range, raises his towering crest. Mr.

Brown had expressed a desire that his body should be laid in tbe shadow of a great rock, not far from bis house. This rock, after the more striking teatures of the scene just named, was the first object to arrest my attention. It stands about fifty feet from the house, is about eight feet in height, and from fifteen to twenty feet square. It is a very striking and picturesque object, and the recollection of it would not unnaturally suggest to tbe mind of Mr. Urown a place for the interment of his body.

The Brown Farm at Korth Elba, is on the highest arable spot of land in the State, if, indeed, soil so hard and sterile can be called arable. The question was aked in my hearing, why Mr. Brown should have cboren a spot so difficult ot cultivation, and yielding so poor a requital to labor and the answer was that he had come there in pursuance of the great purpose of his life. The land formerly belonged to Gerrit Smith, and lies near to those large tracts which Mr. Smith had presented as a free gift to certain colored people and it was to aid these colored people, and through them to benefit their race, tbat he originally come to a place so unpromising to the agriculturist."

ARREST AST) IMPRISONMENT OF A KEN TUCKY PIONELR IS VIRGINIA.

received a visit yesterday from a eraV' haired Kentuckian, just from the 44 inhospitable shores" of Virginia, where be has been incarcerated in jail for two weeks, for having the presumption to be an American citizen, and attempting to cross that State by way of tbe Bal timore and umo tiauroao. 'the old gentleman is a citizen of Oldham County, Ky. 73 years ot age had been on to Washin gton to see about some land which feli to him under the act of Congress making provision for the soldiers of lBia, ana on nis return was seized at Martins- burz (as the train West stopped at that place) by tbe vigilant military stationed at that place, and incarcerated in tbe jail. He was suspected of having conceived the 44 deep design of res cuing Old Ossawatomie Brown, and accord ingly this regiment of soldiery, aided by two or three "peace officers," instituted a visnlant search ot the old man's wardrobe. Each boot ies, in the heated imagination of the Viririnians.

contained a knife or pike, and every pocket a revolver. The only article that was left him was a cake of soap, which he had thoughtfully provided himself with, having been duly advised of the impurity of the Federal citv. He remained in jail two weeks, and on the 2d of December, after tbe last ghost of fear of a rescue of Old John Brown tbat is to say, after the hour of 11 o'clock and 15 minutes am. be was released, first being graciously furnished with a pass, of which the loliowing a verbatim copy MARTmamiao, Dec. 3d, ISM.

The following brief letter from Gov. Wise, shows what he considers the necessity of the times. We learn that very stringent measures have been adopted in South Carolina, Alabama, and in some portions of onr State against peddlers, show-men, and others who are reasonably suspected of hostility to our institutions. Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear of some itinerant, unable to prove himself to be of reliable character, haviuz been expelled from Southern communities. Here is the letter of the Virginia Governor Ricbmosd, "ov.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS. Two men from Bsltimore were arrested at Princess Anne, Maryland, as suspicions characters. At Drummondtown, Virginia, two men have been arrested, and confessed that their intention was to incite slaves to insurrection. So ssvs the Somerset Union. TOO FAST.

The Savannah (Ga.) ErpuUican of the 5th instant savs Fridav night last O. K. Perry went to Mr. C. Chaffer's house, about half-past 8 o'clock, and told him that he (Charier i waa an abolitionist, and must leave town immediatel v.

After --ome further conversation, Perry left the honse, and told Chaffer he must remain until he returned: and to prevent the door being lock ed during his absence. Perry unhinged it and carried it on on nis oacc. tine aosent, Dir. Chaffer went to the barracks and informed sgainst Perry, who was promptly arrested and brought before tbe mayor, Saturday morning, and fined 20 for his patriotism. MEX OF BUSIXES3 OBLIGED TO ABAS'- DOS THEIR BUSINESS.

WasBraoTOH. Dec 9, 159. Thirtv-two trentlemen. acrents of New Tork and Boston houses, arrived here to-day from tbe South, and report the feeling of indignation so great against Northerners that they were compelled tn return and abandon their business. These gentlemen hsrs been known tor years as traders in the South.

They also report that Northerners of long residence in tbe South have been disfigured and driven from tneir Domes. Eleven business men who were on their way South, returned last night, after having reached a station in Virginia, being; turned back by a Vigilance Committee. They say tbe feeling in six of the States through which they have passed is very intense against the North, and sgaiast the continuance of the Union. INSURRECTIONISTS IN OCR MIDST. We learn from the officers of the steamer Leon that great excitement existed in the town of Dardanells, this State, aa they came by that place on their downward trip.

It seems that a number of free blaekshave been endeavoring to carry off their families, and that they have been assisted by certain white persons who have been prowling around the neighborhood for some time past. This past week the citizens of the town took the matter into their own hands, and arrested one man. On Tuesday morning they were goto to see what effect the Lynch law would have in the affair. Others are arrested, and a sum mirv punishment will be awarded them. LxUle Jijci (Ark.) Democrat, let.

AN ABOLITIONIST TARRFD AND FEATHERED IS SAVANNAH. The Savannah RyvMican, Sd reports that one Sewell H. Fisk, a shoe dealer in that eity, was tarred and feathered by certain Georgians en the previous night his offence being tbe utterance of Abolition doctrines. The Ee-pullican describes the scene as follows Sewell H. Fisk, a dealer in boots and shoes, on Market Square, of several years standing, has been the object of suspicion for some time-in 'consequence of his known Abolition proclivities, which he has taken, as we are informed, some trouble to make knowa to our slave population.

Uis latest acts are, enticing negroes into his cellar at night, and reading them all sorts of Abolition documents, and last Sunday night was devoted especially to the history of the trial of John Brown, and a general exhortation upon the institution of slavery and tbe advantagea of freedom These facts, as we hear, were sworn to before a Justice of the Peace by hia nephew and bis clerk and coming to the ears of some parties who have constituted themselves a qua-si-vigilance committee, Mr. Fisk's store, over which ha sleeps, was visited, and he was called out snd gagged before he could make either noise or resistance. He was then placed in a carriage, and driven a short distance from the city, and tbe af plication made to his nude person. He was tten left to find his way back as best he could. His hrst appearance in the limits was near the hospital, where he came in sight of a watchman, who was so alarmed at the sight that be gave a spasmodic jerk to his rattle and took to his heels, sot willing to trace so dreadful an apparition.

A reinforcement, however, was brave enough to approach him, when he waa conducted home, the most pitiable object it is possible to imagine. Not a spot of his skin waa visible, and his hair was trimmed close to his head. on on All of it At or fmwlcu Mtemm Plot mm it ie and what it Mjr That Fawkes has demonstrated that plowing be done by steam no one will deny, but that has demonstrated that steam can profitably compete with animal power is entirely another thing. In September, 1858, he plowed the first furrow by steam on the western prairies. His was pronounced a success by others as well ourself, at the time, for it had turned six perfect furrows side by side, in the most workman" manner, aud of the length required by the committee.

The shouts of the crowd of farmers present was a sufficient attestation that the much desired end had been attained, and Fawkes stood forth the hero of the hour. Rut one claimed that all had been fully demon strated its economy must still be proved it must show in dollars and cents whether it had vantage ground of the ox, the mule and the horse. To ascertain this point a day of trial set at at Decatur, to come off in November. The day proved a complete cross between rain, hail and snow; the wood was wet, the ground was slippery, and the whole thing, so far aa a trial of any value, was a failure. But in the midst of these untoward circumstances it was discovered that the machine had not the capac to generate steam in sufficient quantity for continuous work on long lands.

There was no pump apparatus for pumping np water the fire box and flues were too small for our Illinois coal, together with other minor defects. To those who looked at these defects they did not seem insurmountable; the boiler could be made larger, pumps could be attached, the fire-box and grate enlarged, and elipper plows could replace the ones in use. Fawkes was nrged to take his plow to some large farm and give it a thorough trial in the various kinds of plowing such as raw prairie, timothy clover and old land. But the shouts of the crowd had elated him, and the fact that he could plow was suffi cient in itself to convince him that it could be done with his engine cheaper than by animal power. His machine was housed Decatur, where it still rests in masterly it activity.

Instead of remodeling this machine at some one of our railroad locomotive shops, and continuous trials made on our western prairies, for if the machine ever succeeds, it must be here. A new one was ordered and made at Philadelphia, and brought west for exhibition at the State Fair. In some respects it is an improvement. and in others a decided loss. The boiler is too small, (the old fault,) the fire-box and flues the same, the pump for filling the tank but little better than none, the pinion, spur and driving wheels too small, making a loss of leverage liable to to Btop in passing centers, and preventing the use of a steam cut-off.

The whole too heavy, weighing some thirteen tons without fuel or water. the plows were not adjusted, but run by guess. Such was the condition of this ma chine, which, all untried as it was, its inventor expected would carry off the premium of the State Society and that of the Illinois Central R. R. being an aggregate of $1,500.

A scientific committee pronounced in its fa vor, the gold medal ot honor of the United States Agricultural Society was awarded it, the shouts of the multitude endorsed its powers, and it stood proudly forth as the great agricultural achievement of the day. But conservatism is yet an element, and claims a hearing in the affairs of men, and it said to Fawkes, you must prove by actual trial the working power of your machine; you must go upon the prairie slopes of Central Illinois and show the number of acres you can break of the raw, uncultivated prairie per day, and the cost of the same, you must turn over the cultivated meadow and tbe stubble land, and demonstrate its actual cost. These you must do before capital will give yoa encouragement or the practical farmer will in vest in your iron steed ot tbe prairie. 1 this inexorable bidding Fawkes bowed acquiesance. and landed nis machine on our larm.

Laxe its predecessor it is housed in for the winter, and in the spring to is undergo the necessary alterations. Fawkes has learned wisdom from defeat, and has pledged himselt that his Elow shall win fame from actual worth, or be roken up and sold for old junk. Since our notes oi tne tru ot tbe 22d of November tbe gang of plows have been under the hands of one of our best plow makers, and of course much improved in the arrangement of running. Only six have been put on as yet, and they did not require more Bteam to draw them than the four did at the trial, showing a decided gain. "When they are all prop erly arranged thev will cut about eight and one fourth feet, or half a rod in width, and will not prob-probably require over one hundred pounds of steam, xnat me uiscuioe is niucu too nesvy is now conceded; that its gearing must be mate rially aitered--the boiler and ore box enlarged, a much larger pump, an extra tender for wood and water, and several minor improvements must be made before it be all that is expected of it.

We have an abiding faith that Fawkes will make it a success, that is, as much so as reasonable men could expect, but this will take him probably all of next season. The Illinois Central Railroad Company have given him all tbe possible aid, and even more than money would have done. They can see the ultimate success of the enterprise and therefore have overlooked the whims and caprises of the inventor. Mr. F.

is a carpenter and farmer, but has bad no learning as an engineer. Had he put his machine in the hands of a flood, practical engineer he would have done much better. It does not follow per ee that an inventor of a drum upon which a locomotive may be moved or to move itself is capableof running the engine, no more than that a man who conquers a country is capable of governing it; Mr. Fawkes is no exception to this rule, and we doubt, that without further training, that he could keep bis place even as a fireman on one of onr railroad trains. We would therefore advise him that when he again gets up steam, that he put a good engineer and fireman in charge, and that he devote himself to the arrangement of the machinery for while at the throttle-varve how can ha see whether the plows work right or wrong.

There has been plenty of time, even with the bad weather, since tbe arrival of the plow, with the proper aid, to hare made considerable pro gress, but that time nas neen iritterea away without working any practical results. It is no disparagement to Mr. Fawkes that he is not master of all the trades necessary to make his invention a great succesr. Tbe motive power is made upon the usual plan of a locomotive with upright boiler, and his invention consists of the drum, and the application of tbe power to move tt. That this power cannot be directly applied to tbe drum, as stated in a recent notice of a Chicago model is plain to every observer.

The arrangement of plows in a gang is no easy matter. Many inventors have essayed it, bnt thus far without complete success. We can see no reason why this cannot be overcome but it will require patient, laborious effort, and when Fawkes brings bis inventive energies to bear on this point, untramelled with other cares, we shall expect to see him succeed. WHAT THIS MACHIKS MAT DO. At present it cannot be expected that any other than that class of large farmers who use steam power would invest in this machine but should it prove a success, small farmers will club together to purchase.

As a stationary power, it is one of tbe best, as it can move itself from place to place over good roads, and can be used to saw wood, to thresh, to grind sorghum, to shell corn, to make brick and tile, and when the ground is dry and in proper condition, will do a large amount of plowing in a short time. how Huca will rr plow per dat? In plowing on tbe 22d, the best time in half a mile was made ia some ten minutes, add two minutes for turning, and we have twenty-two minutes to the acre this wonld give less than three acres per hour now add fifteen minutes as the average of each stop for wood and water and we hare about two acres per hour. We therefore estimate that if this machine was in good running order that it would plow of raw prairie trom sixteen to twenty acres per day. Asthemachineneverhasdoneaday's work of course it is mere guess work what it can do, bnt from our stand point, tbe above is our guess on the subject. This will not please the inventor, and may disappoint the expectations of the people, and we conless that it is less than we had plowed it before.

We are not dealing with what improvements may do, bat with the machine altered as contemplated. We cannot estimate the speed it maees over three miles an hour, stoppages included. We must wait another season for the full growth of thia machine, and learn that like other useful articles mv underco material changes for the bet ter. Ail valuable farm implements have had to gradually win their way, however valuable they may have proved, this may be the case also with the steam plow. The steamboat and locomotive were years in being bronght to perfection, and we should not be discouraged with tbe steam plow.

Something of the kind is demanded and genius will bring it forth. For his efforts thus far Fawkes is entitled to no small meed of praise, he haa shown a noble perseverance and is richly deserving of warm encouragement in his future efforts. We think that the expectation has been raised too high in the quantity that any steam plow will be able to accomplish. The prairies of the West have asked for a steam plow, and genius that has given ns the stell clipper, tbe reaper and the mower will grant the boon. Rural.

Wttt UrUua. Dee. loiA, 1859. jar. Douglas Citrine Ep.

If our readers wish to kuow what Mr. Douglas's course is to be, let them read the remarks made in the House yesterday by Mr. Logan, his aut horised spokesman, who read a letter from him disclaiming any connection with the Republicans. Mr. Logan having first stated his own position to be that the democratic party 'never does wrong," declared that whoever was tbe Presidential candidate nominated by its National Convention, and on whatever platform, he would support him.

This is substantially giving up the battle. Douglas no longer shows fight. He is completely extinguished. We are glad, however, to see by the speech of Mr. Haskins, who declines all terms with tbe Administration, and refuses to support a candidate representing its opinions under any circumstances, that theie is still a remnant of the anti-Lecompton democrats who remain "unse-duced and onterrined."

The Legislature assembled promptly on Wednesday morning last, and both Houses proceeded at once to organize, as soon as the credentials of the members were examined. were both' organized in one session of several hours, and ready to proceed to business. is an improvement on the first State (Democratic) Legislature, which consumed five in organizing, and shows that the Republicans intend to redeem their pledges of economical legislation, and finish the sessioa in as time as possible. On the second day of the session, Gov. Sibley in his message.

It is very lengthy. He into the history of the Loan Measure its effects and present condition regrets 44 to be obliged to state that the meaner hat proved a failure, and has by no meant accomplished what hoped from it This is a candid confession, certainly. He then attempts in a labored argument to shield himself and the Auditor from blame for receiving the bonds at 95 cents as a for the issue of currency, when he himself knew they would not sell in New York city for than SO cents on the dollar. He admits the bonus of (10,000 for each mile of railroad graded was greater in many instances than cost, and also that many persons have re eeived the bonds at a much less rate than their value. He recommends, therefore, that an arrangement be effected, whereby the State take op these bonds at the actual cost to holder, and issue others therefor; thinks will relieve the State from her awkward position." His plan, yon will see, is pretty much the same recommended by the Priss ixd Tribcsi several months since, as the only means for extrication from the set work of troubles fastened on us by the Five Million Loan Measure.

The Banking System (got np by the Demo-ctatic Legislature, and approved by him, two years ago) he says has proved worse than useless," and recommends its repeal. He then goes into a tirade against paper money, and re commends a law abolishing all bank notes of less denomination than (5.00. He recommends repeal of the Township act, and the return the old plan of three Commissioners, instead a member from each town, as a County Board. He also recommends a reduction in the salaries of all State, district, and county officers (some of which are inordinately high). Also, a reduction in the number of Senators and Repre sentatives to one half the present number a limitation of session to 60 days a law concern ing the qualification for Indian voters also, regulating elections and asks an investigation into the acts of the State officers (himself included) who are charged with peculation.

He justifies the 44 Wright County Wrar" (a foolish military expedition that cost the State seven or eight thousand dollars). Recommends memorials to Congress to extend the Reciprocity Treaty over the settlements north Jof ns and for a grant of land to aid in constructing the Northern Pacific Railroad. He winds up with lamentation over the fanatics who conquered Virginia, and a recommendation for the doctrine of Non-intervention, I nave mentioned these matters at some length, to show the hypocrisy of the person who occupies the Gubernatorial chair of our State by means of forged returns and Indian votes. A Billy clause in our Constitution provides that the Legislature shall meet on the first Wednes day of December, while the State officers hold their seats until Jan. 1st, following.

Thus this bogus Democratic Governor has the chance to recommend to a Republican Legislature many of the reform he kneto they designed carrying out. to appear as if they were Democratic measures. thus trying to steal from the Republicans the credit that will be their due. On the first days of the session Democratic members followed the Governor's example by hurrying to give notice of bills effecting the same reforms. But it will do them no good, for the Republican members will not stop until they have thorough ly reformed the abuses instituted by the Demo- caatic Legislature, passed wholesome aud salut, ary laws, and reduced the expenses of the State Government to a reasonable sum, and thus cure the evils inflicted by an administration that haa cost the people of the State over 000 in the short space of two years.

No day has been fixed on for the Joint Convention as yet, but it is expected that it will come off within three or four days. There are numerous candidates, but no one seems to enjoy a prominence over the others as yet.

Whoever the coming man may be, one thing is sure, he will be a staunch, Republican, aod no inferior man. Much is expected of the present Legislature in the way of measures to relieve the people from the evil effects of the unwise acts of the last Legislature. I hope they will fulfill the hopes of the people. Much certainly does de pend upon their action, and a heavy responsi bility rests upon them. They have shown disposition to work honestly and to economise to the very margin of prudence.

If they adjust the loan imbroglio on a just and equitable foot ing, and revise our banking and other laws properly, we will be once more on the highway to prosperity. Despite the troubles the people of Minnesota have labored against this year, they have done wonders. Our exports have been very heavy, and not a fifth part of this fall's harvest has yet been moved. Immigration has been pretty heavy, aud the country haa im proved wonderfully. In this city, stagnant aa trade has seemed this season, nearly (100,000 worth of buildings have been erected this year, many of them splendid business blocks.

Chi cago cannot be indifferent regarding the pros perity of this State, for she will partake of it in a great degree. Lr North. Slavery Agitation In the Stock mar ket. From the X. Y.

Evening Fost.1 The effect of tlie renewal of slavery agitation by the Administration party in Congress on the stock market is worth a passing record. Congress met six davs aeo, aud the fire-brand dis cussion of Heloer's Impending Crisis and the John Brown insurrection told immediately in a marked disturbance and depression. The rates for money at once experienced an advance of from one-half to one uer cent, and stocks a fall, in some instances, of as much as three per cent New York Central, the barometer of the share market, dropping from 8Si to 7 i. and other speculative securities in like pro- rmrtinri- Frices continued unsettled and feverish till the arrivrl of the Persia on Wednesday, with advices of a better feeling in London respecting American securities, and a more promising aspect of political all airs on the Continent and throughout Great Britain. The market immediately underwent a decided change, with a partial recovery, New York Central returning to 60t, the present quotation.

Other speculative shares sympathised. The progress of re covery, however, to the range oi prices ana buoyant feeling prevailing before the meeting of Congress, is seriously retarded by the same influences which produced the depression, and which render circumstances that would at most times exert a beniocial effect, almost ino- perative. It is a noticeable feature in the course of the market that United stocks and other smnd interest-paying bonds were unaffected by the agitation at Washington, except in isolated cases here the shifting of loans, which invariable attends a rise in tbe price of money, necessitates sales and a slight concession on tbe part of tbe owner oi such securities. Such was also the case in the slavery agitation of 1550, and we could hardly cite more conclusive evidence of the fallacv of Mr. Everett's theory that there ia any apprehension in well-informed quarters, as to the safety of tbe Union.

No meu are more sensative than those who deal in stocks to any danger affecting orthreateningthe safety of the government under which they live. The decline in government securities on the Londo Exchange or the French liourae, on the rumor of political disturbances in Europe, is immediate and decided and so it would be if the ease of the stocks of the United States were there anything in the present trouble at the South seriousJy menacing tbe stability of tbe Union. Stock operators, however, are very wise in their generation, and can see the cat under the meal of tbe Uoion-tsTirs. S1.S5 S0.917 17,670 can be plow as like no the was ity delayed nearly a month in the choice of Speaker, in consequence of the evenly balanced state of the Whig and Democratic parties. Hunter, a Whig at that time, was elected; the Union was not dissolved.

In 1849, just ten years later, another contest of three weeks was fought out in the House between the friends of Howell Cobb those of Robt C. "Winthrop. The plurality rule was adopted, and Cobb won the prize ofcourse the Union was preserved. In 1855, the country saw the Union "rest turret to foundation" (vide Keitt'g speech) day for six long weeks which preceded election of K. P.

Banks. But Helper had then written his book, nor had John Brown fought, bled and died at Harper's so, despite all the threats, the venerable masonry closed up its gaps, and the Union not topple over and go to everlasting smash. Here are three precedents any one of which justify the South in saving the Union again. So, let the wolf howl I National Republican Convention. At a meeting of the citizens of Indianapolis last night at the Court House to take measures to induce the Republican National Committee to appoint Indianapolis as the place for holding; the Republican National Convention, L.

Vance was called to the chair, and Theodore Haugher appointed Secretary. William Wallace, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted Rranlvni, Thrtf Dr. Jamea Richer, memberof the Katton-al Republican Committee, be earnestly requested to attend next m-eting of toe Committee and assure tbTa tiiat capacit'eaof our public houses and thehospi'ali'y of the citizens of Indianapolis, are ample for the accommodation entertainment of the delegates, and all atten ants at the National Republican Convention and that he be requested louse his utmost exertions to procure the holding the Convention at IitdiacaDolia. That it is regarded as of the utmost importance, view of its iiitliience upon the approaching elections in Indiana the atiouu Kepublican Coavttutuia be held Indianapolis. The President and Secretary were instructed correspond with the members of Congress from Indiana, and other prominent politicians from the State in Washington and New York, request them to nse their influence in faror the selection of Indianapolis aa the place for holding the National Convention.

Induinapolii Journal, 13A. We apprehend that if Indianapolis should any means lose the Convention, it would be a lack of sufficient evidence that the city can accommodate the large concourse of people which will be drawn together by the event. We understand that the Hon. N. B.

Judd, of this city, who is a member of the Committee, inclined to vote for Chicago, partly because thinks Chicago is entitled to tho Convention, and partly for the reason that it does not seem sufficiently clear that Indianapolis can suitably entertain the delegates and the large audience which will attend upon their sitting. Our views with reference to the propriety of holding it at Indianapolis are unchanged nor have we seen from any quarter an argument taking issue with the paramount political reasons which have been urged in behalf of that locality. At the same time we submit to the citizens of Indianapolis that it devolves upon them to show beyond question that their city competent for the entertainment of the guests, before their" claims can be listened to. This is the consideration which precedes all others. Let this question be met, and, we doubt not, the other weighty reasons which point to Indianapolis will have their proper force with the Committee.

To those of our friends who make it a point of honor to go for Chicago, and who are disposed to censure all who are not ready to urge the claims of the city in which they live, we have to say that the interests of the Republican party in the next Presidential struggle are everything, and the interests of particular cities or States are exactly nothing in the scale. This every right-minded man must concede. At the same time, if, for the reasons specified, Indianapolis be not chosen, we are by all means in favor of Chicago. And we are in favor of Chicago for the reason that we think Illinois, next to Indiana, needs the regenerating influence of the convention not for the reason that we happen to live in Chicago, and that the convention will bring a great crowd of people, and involve the spending of a great deal of money. Father Chtniquy's Hep to His Acen era.

Father Chiniquy has written a letter in which he thus accounts for the charges bronght against him of misrepresenting the condition of his people The priests of Rome have gained in the town of Kankakee a dozen American infidels and usurers to publish that I am a deceiver am getting money under false pretences. The priests have promised these Americans shall receive the support of these enemies of the Gospel at the next election, if they can complete the destruction of our dear converts of Illinois. Pray, dear Iriend, and get others to pray the Lord that be will confound the devices of the wicked. More than ever do I feel that I have need of divine aid that of myself I can do no good in this vineyard. If anything were necessary to prove what we have alleged in relation to the pretended distress of the St.

The 44 American infidels and usurers" spoken of, are nine-tenths of the people of Kankakee County, without distinction of party or sect and as for the priests" and enemies of the Gospel," the political designs attributed to them are beneath answer. Pray, dear friends, and get others to pray to the Lord, that he will confound the devices of the wicked Free Negroes In Mississippi. A bill is now before the Legislature of llis-sissppi (and it will doubtless pass) providing that after the 1st day of next July, all mulatto or black persons who are free, or claim to be such, or act as such, may be indicted, and on conviction shall be sold by the Sheriff of the county where so convicted. Any person pretending ownership of such negro for the purpose of shielding and protec ing said negro, to be fined not exceeding (1,000, and imprisoned for six months.

And these provisions also operate to the same extent against any owner allowing a negro to hire his or her own time, or otherwise to act as free. And all such negroes are disqualified from inheriting, acquiring or holding any property in the State, nor can any property be removed from the State, for the benefit of any such person. The Douelaa Apoetacy. If anything were wanting to confirm the apostacy of Senator Douglas and his complete surrender to the Administration, it is furnished by the following remarks of his ex-editor, 11 r.

And I think I am justified, also, in appealing to our associates among the Democracy of the North who are known as 44 Anti-Lecompton Democrats." lam willing to tire them credit for honesty, credit for patriotism, perhaps 1 will not deny them the praise of, at least, partial wisdom in the course which they pursued in the last Congress. I'hey come protesting that they do not intend to sunder their relations with the Democratic organization. The gentleman from New York (Mr. Clark) yesterday even Tauntingly proclaimed that he was a member of the Democratic party. These gentlemen thus claiming to belong to the Democratic organization, thus repudiating any association with the Republican party on this floor, 1 say I in justified ua making an appeal to them, and I am reinforced in that appeal by the allegiance of friendship and political fealty which they profess to Judge Douglas, whose name baa been interpolated into this debate, and who, I undertake to say, ie, in a'l hie iatiricte, tei-th the p-reeentatite of the South on thie ooauton.

I rpeat from the book when I eay it.

JOHX A. LOOAH VS THE BOUSE or rbprrsestatives, dec. 8, 1859. Mr. Logan Sir, are there not hundreds and hundreds of fugitive slaves passing through Ohio and Illinois and the great Northwestern States, who belong to the constituency of those people here representing the Southern States on this side of the House? Why is it, if yon are good Constitution-loving citizens, loyal to the Constitution, if yon love the Union and love Constitution, why is it, I say, that yon will do justice to these men by taking their fu gitives and returning them to their masters, as the Constitution and statutes of the country require Why, gentlemen, do yoa not do itf Yet von say, "Oh, we will take no right from yon Southern men that you are entitled to under the Constitution." livery fugitive that has been arrested in Illinois, or in any of the Western States and I call Illinois a Western State, for I am ashamed to longer call it a Northern State has been made by Democrats.

In Illinois the Democrats have all that work to do. Yon call it the dirty work of the Democratic party to catch fugitive slaves for the tsoufhern people. Ws are wilxixo to perform that dirtt work. I do not consider it disgraceful to perform any work, dirty or not dirty, which is in accordance with the laws of the land and the Constitution of the country, and calculated to assist men in receiving that which is tbeir right. guaranteed to them under the Constitution am id laws of the land.

Then, in conclusion, gentlemen, I wish to address a few remarks to those gentlemen here who are denominated anti-Lecompton Democrats, and a very few remarks to them then I shall have done. I am called an anti-Lecompton Democrat in Illinois. I want to ask them this question When we gather in this Hall, for the purpose of electing some man as Speaker, to enable us to proceed with the deliberations of this body, what is our duty as Democrats, for I address you as such It is our duty to forget past differences, come together aod elect some man who ia a Democrat to preside over our deliberations to snatch the power from the hands of this anti-Constitution, antf-tTnion, and anti-everything party, as you would snatch a brand from the eternal burning. Let the differences that have heretofore divided Democrats sleep let them be buried in oblivion, never to be again bronght fourth. There have been issuea mswle by certain gentlemen on this side of tbe Hall calculated to distract the Democrats, and prevent them from having an organization.

I say, let them not prevent ns from having an organization. If you do, then I only ask you to look upon both sides of this Hall I ask vou to look around vou. and what do you see? Upon the right hand ia the Republican party and where is tbeir constituency Y'ou bear no voice answering from the land of Washington you hear no voice an swering trom the land of Jeiterson, who penned the Declaration of Independence; no voice answering from the land of Madison, who drafted the Constitution of this glorious Confederacy no voice answering from the gallant State of Tennessee, the State where Jackson rests, who replaced tbe glory of the American arms after they had been disgraced at the North. I ask yon, gentlemen, whether or not you will turn to these men who, when they hare used you, will denounce you as pro-slavery men, as slave oli-garcbists, and everything else I ask you to turn from them, and let good feeling and cordiality exist among us. Let us unite and harmonize now, aud then let ns meet such questions as shall arise hereafter.

I am prepared to meet all questions as they come up. Ma. Clark, of New York. Will the honorable gentleman from Illinois inform me whether he, and those anti-Lecompton Democrats from Illinois who act with him, approve of the territorial policy of the Administration, as manifested during the last Congress? Me. Logas.

I say let bygones be bygones. I am in favor of letting the past sleep in oblivion. Mr. Clark, of New York. Will the gentleman answer another question? Mr.

Logan. The gentleman knows very well tbe position of udge Douglas in Illinois. We were his friends, and were elected with him. I ask whether there is any necessity of recurring to these old issues? Mo. Clark, of New York.

I will ask the gentleman one other question. I will ask the gentleman whether the nominee of the Democratic caucus of this House, if elected to the Chair, will so organize the committees of the House as that Kan-as shall be admitted into the Union without reference to the restriction in the English bill? Mr. Logan. So far as the Democratic candidate for Speaker is concerned, I have never asked bim question, for ftod knows the subject never entered my mind. I came bere to vote for whoever the Democratic party should put in nomination for Speaker.

I have entire confidence in the impartiality of that gentleman who is the nominee of the Democratic party. I have confidence in him because he comes from the land of Washington, Jefferson, Madison from a land of patriots; and aI believe that no man coming from that land could act in such a manner as to infringe upon the rights of any portion of this Union. Mr. Haskin. Will the gentleman permit me to put as interrogatory to him Me.

Logan. That is owing to its character. Laughter. Ma. Haskin.

The gentleman from Illinois has stated that he intended to support tbe nominee of the Charleston Convention. Mr. Logan. I have. Ma.

Haskin. If the Charleston Convention adopt a platform in opposition to the views of Judge Douglas, as exptessejl in his essay, published in Harper' Aluyiint, and indorsing and approving the conduct of this Administration, as well upon other matters as upon its Kansas policy, will the gentlemau from Illinois then support the nomiuee of that Convention Ma. Logan. I will answer the gentleman's question. I am now about tweuty-eight years of age.

I was born a Democrat and, all my life, I have learned to believe that the Democratic party in National Contention, never do wrong. Applause and laughter from the Democratic beaches and the gaiieries. I have never known the Democratic party, in National Convention, to indorse a platform that was not consistent with my views. Havug that confidence in the party, I do not go ahead, and I will not say what I will do. Having confidence in that Convention, will vote or the nominee of that Convention.

Ma Haskis. Anyhow? Mr. Logan. Yes, sir. Mr.

Haskin. I will Dot. Does the gentle man believe with the distinguished Senator from Illinois, whose nomination he is desirous of securing from the Charleston Convection, and who I sustained thioughout his glorious fight against this Administration, as well upon its Kansas policy as upon its startling corruptions, which, in the last House, I endeavored to expose to the country does the gentleman from Illinois believe with the Senator from his State that an organized territorial government, like that of Kansas, ean exclude or abolish slavery from its borders? Mr. Logan. I will answer the gentleman's questions in this way.

Mr. Haskin. No dodging. Let ns put ourselves squarely upon the record. Mr.

Logan. I profess to be a Democrat. I do not recognize such a distinction as anti-Lecompton or Lecompton Democrats, but denominate all as Democrats. I have said already that I have buried i ast wsues. I have done with them.

Ignoring them, I say that I am a Democrat without a prefix to my name. I am for Stephen A. Douglas for the next President of the United States first, last, and all the time. If he is not nominated, I am for the next man that is, sir, the man nominated. Laughter.

Serlona Imbroglio In the Offices of the mileibnrgli, n. Wayne Ac Chicago It. It. Company. We stated the fact on Friday, that the United States Court for the Northern District of Ohio had appointed J.

K. Edgerton, of Fort Wayne, Receiver of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago The domestic creditors at Pittsburgh, hearing of this appointment, immediately made application to Judge Hampton, of the District Court, for the appointment of a Sequestrator, to receive and disburse the proceeds of the road in their behalf. The Pittsburgh Poet says Tbe application was made on the part of Messrs. Park, McCerdy who had obtained a judgment against the corporation for the sum of 1.BK). the execution upon which had been returned unsatisfied, backed by other creditors of the road.

Judge Hampton granted the applications, appointing T. Haskins Du Puy, Act ing i'resioent ot tbe roao, a sequestrator, ana requiring hira to give bonds in the sum of for the faithful performance of tbe duty imposed upon bim. In the afternoon John H. Hampton, Solicitor for the Company, appeared in Court and offered J. Edgar Thomson and George W.

Cass, as security- upon the bond. The Court thought the bail safficient, and ordered the writ appointing Mr. Du Puy to be issued, but said tlie gentlemen would be obliged to come into t-ourt tots morninir ana prove toeir compeieny. Here are two coofiictinir interests to be recon ciled, possibly involving the question of the jurisdiction of the respective Courts. This will not occur unless the Receiver undertakes to obtain possession of the road, when his efforts would be resisted with all the authority of our Court.

We understand that the officers of the Company bere, not being advised of the disposition of the earnings of the road by the decree ol tbe Ohio court, did not feel warranted in opposing tne aomestic creuiiors, as mej iuiub uiercuy do great injustice. ith the road in the hands of different receivers, it is evident that tbe public creditors snd shareholders most greatly suiter, ana it is to be hoped tbat it will not long remain so. It seems to us that tbe New York representatives of tbe bondholders hTe pursued a very ill-advised course, and are the really responsible parties for the present unfortunate imbroglio. Mr. Du Pay, the Sequestrator, is now in undisputed custody of the road, and is operating the same.

A friend at Pittsburgh has forwarded the following general order from the new officer: PrrrsBCRGH, Ft. Watns A Chi. R. R. Co-, Pittsburgh, Dec 8th, 1859.

general obder ko. one. To Dear Sir Ton are hereby notified that the courts have this day sequestrated the property aod revenues of this company, and that you are required to hold yourself under my sele control, direction and advice in all matters pertaining to tbe interests and business of the Pittsburgh, Fort Way ne and Chicago Railroad, and this you will do until further notice of change from me.

So nearly restored to mental and bodily health is this gentleman, that his family look to a re-union of aU its members at Petarbore ea Christmas, day. P. in 'ILL ONE thi xo on ALL THE Tb sentiment advanced by Mr.

Lincoln in hia SpringSald speech in 1S53, as to tho in-compatibility of frtodom and slavery in the sama government undor any other circumstances than those which would jusify the belief that the latter in the course of eren-tual extinction, and the subsequent declaration of Mr. Seward that there is an irrepressible conflict between free and slave labor, have furnished the text for almost all the Democratic pro-slavery speeches that hare since been made. They have invariably treated it as a treasonable utterance, as a declaration of war against the siaveholding States, and as an authoritative manifesto of the intention of the Republican party to use the power of the Federal Government in miking war upon slavery in the States where it now exists. They have also assumed on all occasions that the sentiment is original with Lincoln and Seward, and that its general adoption by the Republican party furnishes a su3icient justification for the secession of the siaveholding States in the event of the election of a Republican President in I860. The truth is, the sentiment advanced by Lincoln and Seward, was universally entertained by politicians of all parties and of both sections of the Union from the organization of the Government down to the period that the Democratic party discarded its original principles snd substituted for them the pro-elavery end anti-Republican theories of Calhoun.

It was considered at that time no evidence of sectionalism, of abolitionism, of enmity to the Union, or of hostility to the rights, of the siaveholding States under the Constitution, to hold to the belief that freedom and slavery were, under any and all circumstances, hostile elements that they could only coexist peaceably by one or the other being controlled upon the hypothesis that it was with the other, wrong in itself, and to be removed entirely as soon as it could be done consistently with the rights aud the highest good of all parties connected with it. Both the author of the Declaration of Independence and the leading spirits in the Convention which framed the federal Constitution, gave frequent utterance to the doctrine of the irrepressible conflict. Madison was instrumental in keeping any direct recognition of slavery out of the latter instrument, fur the reason that he would have no reminder in our fundamental law of an institution that must soon pass away because of its, incompatibility with the principles on which free government is based. Jefferson, who said more and harder things gainst slavery than almost any other statesman that the country has produced, declared in 1821, that "Nothing is more certainly writ-" ten in the book of fate than that these peo-41 pie (negro slaves) are to be free; nor is it less certain that the two forms of Bociety cannot be perpetuated under the same form of government." Henry Clay again and again gave utterance to a Bimilar opinion; as in 1827 he asserted that "Until dark- 41 ness and despair shall prevail, it will be im-41 possible to repress the sympat hies and the ef-44 orts of free men in behalf of the unhappy por-44 tions of our race who are doomed to bondage." "We have the authority of Mr. Everett for attributing the same sentiment to Daniel "Webster.

If we turn to Benton's Abridgement of the Debates in Congress, we will find, wherever questions relating to slavery are discussed, that the leading minds of. both sections and both parties invariably treated it as a system of necessarily brief existence, gradually to give place to the universal prevalence of freedom. But we have high Democratic authority of much later date in favor of the hypothesis of an irreconcilable antagonism between freedom and slavery. During the presidental canvass of 1856, the Richmond Enquirer, the leading organ of the fire-eaters, and at that time edited by Roger A. Pryor, now Democratic Member of CoDgresa from Virginia, spoke as follows on this subject; Social forms, so widely differing as those of domestic slavery sad (attempted) universal liberty cannot long co-exist in the great republic of Christendom.

TUey cannot be equally adapted to the wants and interests of society. The one form or the other must be verv wronsr. very ill-suited to promote the quiet, the peace, the happiness, the morality, the religion and general well-being of community. Disunion will not allay excitement, and investigation much lesa beitet lasting peace. Th war be-twem the twe eytem rage everywhere and will continue to rage till th one conquerer and th ether it exterminated.

And again, in stronger language if possible than that employed by either Lincoln or Se ard, the Enquirer oobserves Two opposition and conflicting forms of society cannot, among civilized men co-exist and endure. The one must girt way and ceaee to extet the other oecomee wuvertat. it tree society be unnatural, immoral and unchristian, it must fail and give way to slave society a social system as old as the world, aa universal aa man. As regards such authorities as Jefferson. Madison, Clay and Webster, we suppose it is scarcely fair, at this day.

to hold the Democracy or such Old Line "Whigs as co-operate with them, as being under any obligation to be influenced thereby; but the Richmond Enquirer is an authority that they cannot and dare not gainsay. Indeed they have never complained of it for asserting the "irrepressible conflict;" and probably for this reason, that free society is unnatural, immoral and 44 unchristian, and that it must fail and "give way to slave society." The quarrel with Lincoln and the Republican party is not so much for asserting that this Government must become all one tMng or all the other," as for acting upon the belief that slave society must ultimately give place to free society. Had they assumed the truth of the Enquirer's hypothesis as to the final triumph and universality of society, instead of being anathematised as traitors they would long since have been canonized as political saints. After all, then, it is not so much the doctrine of a "conflict" as it the opinion as to which side will win, that the pro-slavery Democracy object to. They believe in the conflict'' just as much as Republicans do, but unlike Republicans they believe also in and labor for the universality of slave society.

The conflict must go on. BEIGN OP TERROR IN THESOCTH. In another part of this paper we group together under one head a number of paragraphs from our exchange which show the disabilities tinder which Northern seen labor in the South. They tell but too plainly that the reign of terror is not confined to Harper's Ferry and Charlestown, but tuat it has spread and widened until it embraces within its influence every city, township and farm-house in which a lave is held. Wherever there is a consciousness of tyranny" and wrorg, there the tremor which made cowards of the Virginians is doing its work.

We do not know that those in the South who are arresting peaceable travelers on the high roads, who are listening for and punishing with ferocious severity every expression which denies the divinity of human slavery, who are bringing forward their absurd repressive mes-wres in every State Legislature, and whtfare filling both Houses of Congress with their claj mor, ought to be greatly blamed for the fright with which they have been seized, nor for the ferocity with which it is accompanied. They live amid perils that would make existence unendurable to a Northern man. Bn'fif we pardon them for the illegalities of whicOrihey are guilty in their treatment of Northern men, they must bear with us of the Xorth while ws honestly and patriotically labor to prevent the extension of the system which bears such fruit into territory now free. If they do not. and these outrages upon Northern citizens are continued, men in this section of the Union will begin to calculate the value of that polities! partnership in which all the advantages are one side.

They may be assured that they have brought (bout a condition of things, that is anomalous, and that it is for them to fay whether it shall be better or worse 1 Mr. and and and from every the not Ferry did will held M. P. thw the and ntxt of la at to and of by for is he 1. 0.
