The disputed question of pay has been settled by allowing $4 per day for actual attendance, and counting the session up to December 16th, and no longer. On Mrioday the House discussed st length th pay for th Commissioner on the Revision of the Statutes, and decided, 71 to 68, to cut down the committee's recommendation of $42,. 600 for the whole work to $32,600. (The Boa-ton Advertiser, edited by Mr.

Hale, Speaker of the House, come out in favor of rejecting the whole Revision of the Statutes by th Legist, ture, It eay thet th revision is not what the people expeet, and' had a right to expect, and that it enactment, in our judgment, will be mischievous and even dangerous to the beat interests of the public. 1 Th Revision ahb its Rescnv.

It' words are, the Rentum ought not to patt The Daily haa materials at hand to show, in detail, why the Revision ought not to pew, but decline to present them but in exesthedra fashion, after a close examination of iu proviso ions, declare that FIS ENACTMENT WILL BE MISCHIEVOUS AND EVEN DANGEROUS TO THE BESTIN!

This it the judgment of Mr, Hale, th Speaker, he say 0, and he goes on to state further that he has grounds for believing that hit views are shared gentlemen of eminent character and profound (earning, both in and out of the House, We could have told the Daily, month ago, that eminent men, and intelligent men not era.

It seems Mr. lisle has corns round to their views.

A confession is said to be good for th soul and there is nothing in party annals to equal the coolness with which this jonrnal goes through with the shriving operation, and tsn-cies that it thus cleans its hands of the guilt. It has been silent all the while iu reckless party have been spending some $200,000 or and just aa it about to make the final draft on the treasury, it sounds the alarm. In this way can it expect to escape the indignant censure which is destined, the day of reckoning, to fall upon the perpetrators of this mischief? But this is a significant fact for the people to ponder on the Republican party have spent in this Revision business an enormous amount of moneyi aud now iu ejicaker of the House, thus acknowledged a party leader, tells th people that the grand result ia both mischievous and dangerous. Their money has been worse than ws-ted for as the Republican party have decided that this Revision must pass, the public have got to bear the mischief aud encounter the danger!

An admirable Prayer was offered by theKev. Dr. Blag-den! The speeches of Hon. Edward Xlveretf and the Hon. Caleb Cushing were noble, impressive and patriotic, and were enthusiastically received.

That of Mr. Everett is given in the preceding columns, and the remarks of Gen. Cushing will be published in our next. These patriotic speeches should have the widest circulation, and be read by every citizen who loves hU country and would maintain perpetuate our priceless free institutions. The Resolutions, which were full and explicit, were unanimously adopted.

Among them, 8ir, ia a fair proportion of mew and woasen education and moral and religious lives and characters -virtuous fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters, persons who would adorn any station of society, in any eountry, men who read the same Bible that we do, and in tha name of the same master, kneel al the throne of tha same Ood, -forming a class of men from which have gone foith some of the greatest and purest -characters hich adurn our history, Washington.

I have done it here at home, and in the other portions of the land.

I have teen admitted to the confidence of the domestic, circle, and 1 have seen there touching manifestations of the kitiuct feelings, by which that circle, in. all its members, high and low, master and servant, can be hound together and when I contemplate the horrors that would hare ensued had the tragedy on which the curtain tose at Harper's Ferry been acted oat, through all its scenes of fire and sword, of lust and murder, pf rapine ami to the final 1 am filled with emotions to which no words can do justice. There could of course be but on rvsult.snd that well deserving the thoughtful meditation of those, if any such there be, who thuik that the welfare of the colored race could by any possibility be promoted by the success of such a movement, nd who are willing to purchase that result ty so costly a sacrifice. Th colored population SU Domingo amounted to hut hale short of a half a million, while the whites amounted to only thirty thousand. The white populatioa of the Southern State alone, in the aggregate out-numbers the colored race in the ratio of two to one; in the T'nion at large in the ratio of seven to one, and if (which Heaven avert) they should be brought iiUo conflict, it could end only in the extermination of the latter after scenes of woe, for which language is too faint and for which the liveliest fancy has no adequate images of horror.

Such being the case, some one may ak why does not the South fortify herself against the possible occurrence of -such a catastrophe, by doing awy with the one great source from which alone it can spring? This is a question easily akd, and 1 am not aware thsb it is our uty at the North to anwer it but it may be observed that great radical changes ui the framework 'of Society, involving the relations of twelve millions of men, wilt not wait on the Adding of an impatient philanthropy. They ean only be brought about in the laieof time, the stcajlv operation of physical, economical, andfiioral icauses. Have those, who rebuke the South for the continuance of slavery. Considered thatneithr the present generation r.or the preceding oucj is responsible for its existence The African slave tiadpwaa prohibited by Act of Congress tftyone years ago, and many years eariur by (hg separate Southern States. The entire colored population, with the exception, perhaps, of a few hundreds surreptitiously introduced, native to the toil.

Has any person, of- any party or opinion, proposed, in sober earnest, a practical method of wholesale emancipation I believe most persons, in all arts of the country, are of opinion, that free bor is steadily gaining It would in my judgment have already prevailed in the two northern tiers of the slaveholding States, had ifm advances not been uqhappily retarded by the irritating Agitations of the day. But has any person, whose opinion 'is entitled to the slightest respect, ever undertaken to sketch out the details of a plan for effecting the change at onee, by any legislative measure that could be adopted i Consider only. I pray you, that it would be to ask Hhe South to give up one thousand millions of property, which she holds by a title, satisfactory to herself, aa the first step. Then estimate the cost of an adequate outht for the self Support of the emancipated millions theu reflect on the derangement of the entire industrial system of the bouth, and all the branches of Commerce and manufactures Ithat depend on its great staples then the necessity of conferring equal political privileges on the emancipated rare, who being free would be content with nothing lets, if anything less were consistent otith cmg political system; then the consequent organiation of two great political parties Aon the basis of color, and the eternal feud which would rage between them and flmdy the overflow into the free States of wool multitude of needy and helpless emigrants, who, being excluded from many of them (and among outers from Kansas.) would prove doubly burdensome, wheTqthey are admitted.

Should sir, with all ouy sympathy for the colored race, give a verycordial reception to two or three hundred thousand destitute emancipated laves: Does notvery candid man see, that every one of thee3stepa presents difficulties of the most formidable character, difficulties for which, as far as I linow no man and no party has proprcd a solution. And is it, sir, for the attainment of objects so manifestly impracticable, pursued, too by the bloody pathways of treason and murqer, that we will allow the stupendous evil which now threatens us, to come upon the country? Shall we permit this curiously compacted body politic, the nicest adjustment of human wisdom, to go to pieces ill we blast thinf beautiful symmetric form paralyze this powerful arm of public strength saute with imbecility this great Nations!

The last foreign journal which I have read, in commenting uponThe event at Harper's Ferry, dwells upon it as something that will compel uc to keep the peace with the powers and that meant to take the law from them in our international relations. I meant to havtj spoken of the wreck of that magnificent and iqutually beneficial commercial intercourse hich now exists between the producing and manufacturing Stater, on the hostile tariffs in time of peace and the habitually recurring border arart by which it will be an nihilated. meant to have said a word of the Navy of the United States; and the rich inheritance of it common glories.

Shall we give up this? Th memory oi oqr Fathers of those happy days when the men of the North and South stood together for the country, on hard fought fields; when the bouth sent her Washington to Massachusetts, and New England sent her Greene to Carolina is all this forgotten If all the counsel that we two have shared all the joint labors to foutid this great Republic is this all forgot and will we permit this last great experiment of Confederate Republican ism, to become a proverb and a bye-word to the Nations No, fellow-citizens, no, a thousand timet no. 1 his glorious Union shall not perish. Precious legacy of our Fathers, it shall go down, honored and cherished to our children Generations unborn shall enjoy its privileges as we have done, and if we leave them poor in all besides, we will transmit to them the boundless wealth of its blessings.

Suppose a party of misguided men, under a resolved and fearless leader, had been organized in Virginia, to come and establish themselves by stealth in Springfield in this State, intending after possessing themselves afthe unguarded hour of midnight of the National Armory, to take advantage of some local cause of disaffection, say the feud between Protestants and Catholics, (which led to a very deplorable occurrence in ,1 his vicinity a few years ago,) to stir up a social revolution that pikes and rifles to arm 2500 men had been procured by funds raised by extensive subscriptions throughout the South, that stthe dead of a Sunday night, the work of destruction had begun, by shooting down aa unarmed man, who had refused to join the invading force that citizens of the first standing, were seized and imprisoned, three or four others killed and when on the entire failure of the conspiracy, its leader had been tried, ably defended by couusel from hu-own part of the country, convicted and executed, that tbroughouO'trginia which sent him forth on his fatal errand, and the South generally, funeral bells should be tolled, meetings of sympathy held, as at the death of some great bend actor, and the person who had plotted to put a pike or a rifle in the hands of twenty-five hundred men, to be used sgiinst their feliowrs, inhabitants of the same town, inmates of the same houses with an ulterior ii temion and purpose of rapping the hole community in a civil war of the deadliest and bloodiest type, in which a man's foes should Le those of hi own household suppose, I that the person who planned and plotted fhis, and with his own hand or that of his associate acting by his command, had taken the live of several fellow beings should be extolled, placed on a level vtuh the great heroes of humanity, nay, assimilated to the Savior of mankind and all this not the effect of a solitary individual impulse, but the npefruU of a systematic agitatiou pursued in the South, unrebuked for years 'What, Sir, should we feel, think, say under such a-state of things Should we weigh every phras of indignsnt remonstrance with critical accuracy, and divide our murmurs with nice discrimination among thosf whom we might believe, however unjustly, to be directly or indirectly concerned. in the inur-.

derous aggression. Mr Chairman, those who look upon the ex-dating excitement, st the. South as iactitiout or xirav agant, have, I fear, formed a very inadequate idea of thej nature of such an attempt ws taat which was madg st Harper's Ferry was iutei.dcd to be and would have been had it proved successful. It is to want of reflection on this point that we must -ascribe the fact that any civiiixed man in his right mind, and aull more any man of intelligence and moral discernment, in other respect, can be found to approve andsympathize with it. I am sure such persons will bring home to their minds in any distinct conception, the real nature oi the undertaking, they would be themselves aoi axed that they had ever given it their tym psthy.

It appears from hu ow statements mud those of his deluded associates, of his biographer, of his wretched wife, that the unhappy man who has jut paid, the forfeit of hts liie hpd for years meditated, a general insurrection in the Southern bta(es that he thought the time had now eome to effect it that the slaves were ready to rue and the noti-slavcholding whites to Join them aud both united were i ready to firm.a new Commonwealth, of which the Constitution-was organized and the officers chosen. With this wild, but thoroughly ma-1 tured plan, be provides weapons for those on whose rising he calculated at Harpers Ferry; he seizes the national arsenal, where was a supply of arms (or a hundred thousand men, and he intended, if unable to maintain himself at once in the open country, to'mreat to the mountains, aud (rout their fastnesses, harass, pars! 19, and at length revolutionize the South To talk of the pika and rifles not bciag intended for offensive purposes, is simply absurd. The first act almost of the party was to shoot down free colored man, whom they were attempting to impress, and who fled from them3. One might as well say that the rifled ordnance of Louis Napoleon was intended only for self-defence, to be used only in case the Austrians should undertake to arrest hia march. No, sir, it was an attempt -to do on a vast scale-what was done in bu Domingo in 1791, where the colored population was about equal to that of Virginia and if any one would form a distinct idea what such an operation is, let him see it not a matter of vague conception a crude project in -the mind of a heated fanatic, but as it stand in the sober pages of history, that record the revolt in that island the midnight burnings, the wholesale massacres, the merciless tortures, the abominations wot to be named by Christian Lips in the hearing of Christian ears, some of which, too unutterably atrocious tor the English Language, arc of necessity veiled in thg obscurity of the Latin tongue.
