pfcy debate 'Lew. Campbell answers Que tlona. lb tho House on tho 8th, tho President's Message wot read, when Mr, Campbell moved that it be referred to tho Committee of the Whole on tho State of tho Union. Ho regaded the document asono of tho mot PYtrnordinarv ever emanating from an Exe cutive. It wa fa nls opinion, a budget of inconsistencies containing serious charge against a lsrgo portion of the people of the North," which havo no foundation whatever in fact, which he could prove.

Nearly four years ago tle President was inaugurated into the office and announced to the people of the country' the reposo which the Union then enjoyed relative to Slavery from the measure of 1850, saying it should receive -no shock during bis official term. Yet the first session of Congress had scarcely begun before the through h' friends in thia Hall, sought, oy all the moans at ms command, to repeal the tirae-honored Compromise of 1820. The pretonso was that it waa necessary to enable the people of Nebraska and Kansas to enjoy tho principles of the Cora pfbuiiw mensuses of 1850. That repeal waa carried, and tho repose which to long blessed the country waa disturbed, and' an excitement, cneOjUaled in the history of the past, was forced oa by bis official act and influence, and the Union shaken to its very centre. Now he is retiring from office, he arraigns a vast majority of the people of tho Free States guilty of making war on the constitutional Eeeo condemnedby a majority of three hundred thousand freemen.

Mr. Keitt inquired whether Mr. Campbell tpok tho Fremont and Fillmore vote together to make up the majority. Mr. Campbell replied affirmatively.

Mr. Keitt asked whether ho regarded tho supporters" of Mr. Fillmore at the North as anti-Nebraska and io favor of Free Soilism. Mr. Campbell thought there was not a single member of this Houso belonging to the Fillmoro party of tho North who did not, when beforo the people, oppose the princi ples Of tue WeDrnRUft dm, ana ue vcuiurou to eay that there was cot one man out of every hundrod that supported Mr.

Fillmoro who did not oppose tho repeal of the Missouri Compromise. They condemned Squatter Sovereignty as defended by the Buchanan party of tho North. This party in that section assumed that it was more reliable than efther Fillmoro or tho Fremont party. A Voice- That is 60. Mr.

Campbell It claimed to bo in favor cf Freedom in Kansas and that thoso who voted for Mr. Dunn's bill had voted to legalize and perpctuato Slavery iu Kansas, avowing at tho samo time, by the terms of the Nebraska bill, Slavery was excluded from that Territory.

Mr. uampoeii une ax a urac, 11 you please. Mr. McMullen First Did not the gentleman's party in the Free States charge on the Southern portion of this Confederacy a design to carry Slavery into Kansas, and if necessary that they would do it at tho point of the bayonet! Mr. Campbell We not only made tho charge, but vou did it.

A Voice from the Republican side That's a fact Mr. McMullen If you take t' testimony of your packed Committee yon could provo it. I would now ask: Did not tho Fremont party represent Mr. Buchanan as a pro-slavery man, who if elected, would favor the establishment of slavery in the Free States! Mr. Campbell I can speak fur myseif.

I wai encrarred in tho canvass. I did --j Cl charge Mr. Buchanan with being pro-slavery, and that tho platform on which ho stood and sacrificed his individuality, was pro-slavery. Jli looked not merely to the extension of Slavery to all the Territories, through the Nebraska bill, but for tho acquisition of Slave Territory. McMullen Did not you and your party represent that slaveholders owning five negroes wew entitled to, and cast threo votes! Laughter.

Mr. Campbell I said, under the distribution of political powers five slaves in the South wero equal to threo votes in the Free States. Docb tho gentleman deny tho pro position i Mr. McMullen inquired whether free negroes did not vote in Mr. Campbell's District, or something to that effect.

Mr. Campbell I believo one negro vote was given in my District. Thit was cast by a man who waa not authorized to do so under a decision of tho Court, and ho voted for my opponent. Laughter. Mr.

Campbell sent to the Clerk's desk, a paper, which was read, signed by the person just referred to, named Anderson, claiming tho right of suffrage, because, among other things, he was throe-quarters white, tTiA ritmninrfAr hnrntr mada un of African and Indian blood; and further, that his father was a brother of ex-Governor Wilson Shannon. Excessive laughter. Mr. biddings called his colleague to order for easting imputation on a colored constituent, by representing a brother of Wilson Shannon to be bis father. Renewed laughter.

Mr. Campbell My colleague will please excuse me. I was driven to the necessity of tefcring to this fact by the number of quea-tious propounded. Let the gentlemen on tho other aide decide whether the Shannons rrt whilA rnpn or tint. rTjuirrritpr.l Mr.

McMullen The gentleman had arraigned Mr. Van Buren for having introduced negro testimony. I want to know how tho gentleman can cxculpato himself by such testimony. Mr. Campbell I know the character of this man, Anderson, and with all respect to to gentlemen I would as soon take his word as that of (after a pause) any man on this floor.

Mr. Washburn, of Illinois rose to make his former assertion that the Democratic paperi of that State for the most part, did not publish the resolution of the Cincinnati Convention, endorsing Gen. Pierce's administration, thus by this omiwion, repudiating it. The Galena Courier and the Springfield Register had admitted that they did not publish the resolution. Messrs.

Marshall and Harris of Illinois, took issues denying that the Democracy of that Stato avoided tho doctrines and positions presented by the Cincinnati HnnrflntiVm. The resolution endorsing Presi dent Pierco wa not a part of tho platform. one of similar import, which was published in all the Illinois democratic papers. Tho Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bill being under Mr. Haven moved to strike out tho appropriation for salaries to twenty-fivo consular pupils and asked whether we aro to have a Consular school in which to educate them.

Mr. Pennington explained that Consular pupils were merely clerks to Consols whoso salaries were insufficient to enable them to employ such assistance. They would, however, be trained to tho business of Consuls. Quitman concurred with Mr. Haven.

Mr. Haven said ho had always thought it should be honest Diplomacy and not that of deceit which exists in European countries. Fnrthor dobato ensued involving tho rro- prioty of paying Consular pupils when the appropriation for their salaries was stricken out. Tho bill passed. Adjournod till Friday.

Important to Landlords and Tenants. In one of the Ward Courts in New York, last week, a soil was brought for a year's rent of a house, which the tenant had aMicated at the end of one quarter, tendering the proportion of rent for that period, which the landlord refused to accept, and appealed in due time to tho law. The tenant proved that the honse was so infested with rats mice, and every variety of small vermin, that it wa nnihahitnhle. if habitation imnlies com fort. Tho jury awarded to tho landlord only the rent of the quarter during which tho tenants endured tho nuisance.

8. Senator Prea. FaiffleW. To moiTOW tho session of our Stato Legislature begins. The election of a United Slates Senator will be ono of tho first objects demanding their attention.

Several good and honest men from different parts of tho Stato have been named for tho office. Tho Republican Party of Michigan are not wanting for men who aro honest, capable, and worthy this important station. Among those whohavo boon mentioned by tho public press, and in various circles as suitable persons for that office, is our own State Senator President Fairfield. Of his qualifications for that offico wo need not speak. Our readers and in nwt uciiy etrj portion uf ibo Bute, aro as well acquainted with his merits as wo are.

Tho following extract from a correspondence which was circulated iu the papers of western New York two months ago, and which has found its way into some of the papers of our own State, expresses tho views of many who -have heard Pres. Fairfield discuss tho questions at issuo iu tho nation, who know him best. After spenking of tho Stato Fair at Detroit tho correspondent 6ays "Appropos of tho State Fair, a word or two about tho Republican Mass Meeting. It was a noblo demonstration. The Democrats attemptol ono at tho same time, but it waa "a grand fizzle." Tho Republicans had threo stands, occupied by speakers at tho same time.

The central stand waa first occupied by our own William Seward; and of his speech I need say nothing, except that it was worthy of tho man, and mado a 6trocg impression upon the immense audienco who heard it. You will sea hu speech in print before this reaches you. Gov. Seward was followed by President Fairfield of Hillsdale College, and he is almost as well known to your reader as Seward himself. Few men men have ever attained so enviable a reputa tion for impressive eloquence, throughout western New York as Pres.

F. Ho made on this occasion tho most telling speech I havo listened to in this campaign. For an hour tho immense crowd wero carried along by a torrent of resistless argument and irresiBtablo humor, such as we have rarely 6een combined in ono speech. Tho President is a tower of strength to tho Republican cause in, this State. His extensive aud varied learning, his incorruptablo integrity, and his powerful popular eloguenco united makes him a leading man in this State.

We heard repeatedly said after his speech "that is tho man to succeed Cass If he would cousent to do so, ho would do houor to tho place that has been long enough disgraced." There are many who would bo glad to vote for Mr. Fairfield for tho office of U. S. Senator this winter, but tho Constitution of our Stato forbids tho election of any member of the Legislature to that offico and wo know that Pres. Fairfield is not a candidato and does not wish to bo so considered.

In regard to our own preferences, we have heretofore stated. Aflalr of Houor. Boutit. Tho Hon. Alexander H.

Stephens of Georgia, has been lookfng over tho newspapers 6inco election, and having found so many things which a very sensiable men named B. II. Hill had said during some comments he thought proper to make on a speech pre vioos-ly delivered, he has called on Mr, Xa ill for a retraction. Mr. Hill has returned for tswer that her has nothing to retract, whrreur valiant Stephens issues his cartel htrough a friend, to which Mr, Hill replies that he has no desire to kill Steplwn and there kto dodines that pleasure; in ft Bote, of which tho following an extract, anl wliicn rmows iimi B.

II. Hill is really a ehriRtinn gentleman, and what is more, man 1 of coutngo ana gooa Rpnsc. He savs! Yoa 6ay thai my letter of the 25th ult. has in it much, both in tone Rnd matter, personally offensive in itself," and without specifying anything which you desiginato offensive, you proceed to ask of mo "that satisfaction which is usual between gentleman in such cases." It might be some satisfaction for you to shoot at I should entertain no great fear of being hit, but candor requires mo to say, with my present feeling, I could not deliberately shoot at yoa, and for many reasons a few only of which I will now give Frslr I'might probably kill you, and may not consided your lifo valuable, yet to tnKfl tl won ui do- PTcaL nnnovniicu mo afterward.

On the recention of this manlv answer, the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, "and member of Uongress posted JMr. mil iy cam. io thia attempted insult, Mr.

Hill published a 1ptt.ni-which is a model, and to receive commendations from every good citizen. Wo Ti-ivfl onlv room for the followinrr extracts! My private character is the jewel I prize nhnve nil others. I was bom. nised and edu cated in Georgia, and if the man, woman or child could bo fonnd whom I ever wilfully de ceived, in private or public life -in politics, Inw. or Koeinl intercourse I hereby unseal his lips n.

authorize him to speak. It is a real consolation to know, tnaion tnis sunjeci, Ipftst. 1 can dofv tho slanderer, mock tho traduccr, and despiso even tho venoja of Alexander II. Stephens. I regard dueling as no evidenco of courngo no vindication of truth; and no test of tho ehftrnrter of tho true centlcmnn.

I shall bo 'hrflorfirt. liar, and Doltroon." onoueb. now and forever, to declaro that what tho laws of God and my native S'ato unite in denouncing as murder, could do mo no satisfaction to do, to attempt, or to desire. This doiermination is but strengthened when tho contrary coarso involves the violation of my conscience and tho hazard of my family, as ngaist a man who has either conscience nor family. But I have had, and shall continue to have, courage enough to do my duty firmly and truthfully, and to defend myself nnywhero and every-whprp.

even in the eighth district: and if any gentleman doubt it there is a short and easy way of testing it. llamaHow to Cwe Them, A Virginian writer to the Louisville Journal: "Enclosed you will Cad a celebrated recipe for caring bacon, shoulders and harosf which you can publish for the benefit of youf numerous readers or not, yon aeem I withhold my narao from the fact that I havo no wish for notorietv of any kind; but being an old fashioned Virgiuian, fond of good living and of good bacou in I feel ead3y tho want in my new homo of this mos essential element of a man's comfort in living, and have no dowbt a strict observance of tho recipo would produco hams as fine in flavor and as .1 for keerinc tho verv choicest Virginia Hams cured by. this recipo will perK'Ciiy swee ana bouhu lurenvr vou anu iook iuo premium ii iiuw liekl in Virginia.

Tho Cincinnati Price Current shows that tho rccipt of hogs in that city, up to that date, aro 183,376 against 203.582 la6t year. The Louisville Journal remarks a very large falling of both in number and weight. It says Already moro than ono-half of the number of hogs which will bo killed here have been received. Last year head wero slaughtered around tho tails and this year, from present appcarences it will reach 240,000 showing a deficit in numbers of 03,000, and the falling off in weight, will in crease this deficit at least At other packing points a similar fall- ling off is calculated on.

Tho Indianapolis Journal and Madison Courier report a very largo falling off in thoso cities. If their esti mate bo correct and they givo the figures for them tho aggregate deficit in tho number of hogs slaughtered this season at and near Louisville, Indianapolis and Madison, will rather exceed than fall below 150.000.
