THE SECESSION MOVEMENT. an act of treason, and nothing leas. Now, they who sit here the leaders of this modern revolution, are they in a position to complain of the action of this Government for four years past f Why, they have had more, than two-thirds of this Senate for many years. You that complain, represent but little more than one-quarter of the free people of the United States; yet, you have prevailed for ten years past in the Cabinet of the President, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and nearly every department of the Government. Those who voted with you dictated thff policy of the Government. Is it not strange that those who occupy this position come here complaining that their rights have been stricken down? But, what is the cause of this great excitement which undoubtedly prevails in a portion of our country ? for, if the newspapers are to be credited, there is a reign of terior in the cities and large towns of the South that looks very much like the reign of terror in Paris during the French Revolution. We hear of Northern men being sent back or scourged and tarred and feathered, and no inquiry made in regard to the cause. I do not suppose the regular Government, in times of excitement like this, is really responsible for these outbreaks of passion.— If the States where the outrages prevail were a foreign government, and if they were really authorized by the constituted authorities, everybody knows, if it were the strongest government in the world, we would declare war in one day. But what has caused this great excitcment t I will tell you what I suppose it is. I do not so much blame the people of the South, because I think they have been led to believe that wo, to-day the dominant party, who are about to take the reins of Government, are their mortal foes, and stand ready to trample their institutions under foot. They have been told so by our enemies at the North, and they would not hear us at all. Now, I wish to inquire candidly, honestly, and fairly, whether the Southern gentlemen who complain so much have any reasonable grounds for that complaint—I mean when they arc really informed as to our position. The Northern Democrats have said we have Personal Liberty Bills in some few of the Northern States, which wculd somehow trench upon your rights to recapture runaway slaves—a position, that in more than two or three cases, has not the ienst foundation in fact. But, if these laws are really repugnant to the Constitution, they are utterly void, and the Courts would declare them so at any moment. Therefore I am glad to hear Senators on the other side say they dc not complain of these bills. Your men have given up this bone of contention, this matter of complaint, which Northern men have set forth as a grievance more than any one else. to be carried where ? he came from. Then he might be carried into the marketplace anywhere in a slave State, and what chance has he ? This man may be kidnapped and carried into everlasting Slavery, and does any man who has a regard for the sovereign rights of the States rise here and complain that a State could not make a law to protect her own people against invasion and seizure ? I believe of all men those who have made the most of these complaints are the last who would rise here and deny the power of a sovereign State to protect her own citizens against any Federal Legislature whatever. Then liberty bills have been made, not with a view to degrade the South, but with an honest view to guard the rights of their own citizens from unlawful searches and seizures. I was exceedingly glad to hear Senators on the other side say that the repeal of these bills will not relieve the case from the difficulties—and I have heard it everywhere that the people of the Free States are unfaithful in executing the Fugitive Slave Law. It has been said, under such ciroumstances here, that, although I was sure as to my own State, yet, I could not rise to say I did not believe a word of what they were saying. I never did and never could, until our enemies here rise in theirplaccs,and,with a magnanimity I commend, have said this was not so. My colleague, (Mr. Pugh«), with a magnanimity for which I give him my thanks, has stood forth to testify that, in the State I in part represent, Republican Judges, Courts and Juries, have fulfilled this repulsive duty with perfect faithfulness, and so said the Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglas), and so I understood the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Fitch) to have said. Therefore, this calumny is removed from us, so far as the statements of our political enemies can do it. I know our Courts feel themselves bound to administer the laws just as they find them. Let me say, to gentlemen of the Senate on the other side, where you have lost one slave by the unfaithfulness of legislative tribunals, we have had ten men murdered by your mobs against law. I cannot take up a Southern paper but I read of men who travel for business, but you wait upon them by some Committee and tell them to return. And what is the cause 1 Why, Sir, you come from Ohio, and they don't inquire what party you belong to. Many of these acts have been done undor ciroumstances that would disgrace a savage. We have no security in traveling nearly one-half of the Confederacy—especially the gulf States. I don't care what a man's character may be, and if he never violated any law under heaven; but if he comes from the North, and especially if he has exercised his political rights and voted for Lincoln instead of somebody else, it is an offence punishable by indignity, by stripes and by death.— And you, whose constituents arc guilty of all these things, can stand up and accuse us of being unfaithful to the Constitution of the land ! I make the assertion here, that I do not believe in the history of the world there ever was a nation or a people where a law so repugnant to the general feeling was ever executed with the same faithfulness as has been this most repugnant Fugitive Slave Law. You havo a law in South Carolina by which you take the free citizens of Massachusetts or any other maritime State and lock them up in jail under a penalty. If the poor man cannot pay the jail fees, eternal slaverystares him in the face. It is a monstrous law, revolting to the best feelings of humanity, and in conflict with the Constitution of the United States. I don't say this by way of recrimination. I know the excitement pervading the country, and I do not wish to add a single coal to the flame. Nevertheless, I wish the whole truth to appear. Then, what is it ? You have the whole legislation of the country ; yon own the Cabinet and the Senate, and I may add you own the President of the United States, as much as you own the servants on your own plantations. But I can't see why Southern men rise up and complain of the action of this Government. I have already shown it impossible to point out any acts of which the Republican party have been guilty of which you can complain. Therefore I understand that Senators who justify the overthrow of this Government, who would break it up and resolve it into its ori» ginal elements, do it on a mere suspicion that the Republican party may somehow affect their rights. Now, what doctrines do we hold detrimental to you ? Arc we the setters forth of any new doctrine under the Constitution ? I tell you, nay. There is no principle hold to-day by the groat Republican party that has not had the sanction of your Government for more than seventy years. You have changed your opinions ; we stand where we used to stand. We stand on tho Slavery question in tho place formerly occupied by the most revered statesmen of this nation, every one of them, Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Adams, Jackson and Polk inclusive. And that revered statesman, Henry Clay, of blessed memory, with his dying breath asserted the doctrine we hold to-day. Why, then, are we held up before the community u violators of your rights 7 It is late in the day to accuse us of harboring these opinions. Then, what doctrines do we bold that are oomplained of? Ypu don't complain of our Liberty bills. You don't complain that Mr. Lincoln is a violent man and will probably do any injury to you.— The Senator from Georgia (Mr. Iv&rson) told us he had no apprehension Mr. Lincoln would do any aot in violation of the Constitution. anoes to be that the Chief Magistrate, with the power of government, could do away with Slavery in ten years. Mr. Iverson said he said the Republican 1 party might do injury. He thought Mr. ; Lincoln would violate the Constitution, 1 when he could, with impunity. Mr. Wade—It is of no great consequence what the Senator said. I say that Mr. Lincoln's charncter, from youth up, has been such that yon have no right to draw any inference that he will trespass on the right of any man, and if you harbpr any other supposition it is in consequence of unwarranted prejudice, nothing else. I have listened to arguments here tor about a week. They are in very general terms, very loosely drawn, and I do not know where to meet you at all. Is there any thing in our platform detrimental to your rights, unless that in modern times you set up a different construction of the Constitution from ours ? We follow in the beaten track, but you have switched off, as it were, upon another track, and assert your doctrine to be orthodox, that is all. probably he might. I have disavowed any intention on the part of the Republican party to harm a hair of your heads. We nold to no doctrine that can possibly work you any inconvenicnce. We have been faithful to all the laws. It is not, then, that Mr. Lincoln is expected to do any overt act by which you may be injured.— You won't wait for any. But, anticipating that the Government may work you an injury, yon will put an end to it, which means simply this—that we intend to rale or ruin this Government. There is where it comes. We do not like your institutions, you say. But we never liked them any better, and you might as well have dissolved the Union at any other time as now. We stand precisely where we stood, repudiating your institution as a matter of morals, but, admitting that, when it is out of our jurisdiction, wc have no hold upon it and no design upon it. Is there anything in the character of the President elect of which you complain ? Has he not lived a blameless life, never violated any law; has he committed any violation of duty ? Why then are you suspicious that he will? Now, then, 1 have shown that having the Government in your hands all the time, you have brought it to the verge of destruction; and the people, believing it was time the scepter should depart from your bands, have placed it in more competent hands. If this is so you have no constitutional right to complain, when we all disavow any intention so to make use of that victory we have won, as to injure you at all. This brings me here to the question of compromise. The first day of this session a Senator rises and offers a resolution to inquire into the evils between different sections, and to ascertain what oould be done to settle the difficulty. I tell that Senator I know o( no difficulty. As to compromise, I supposed we had agreed that the day of compromises was at an end. The most solemn we have made have been violated, and where are they ? Since I have had a seat in this Senate one of considerable antiquity was swept away from our statute book; and when in the minority I stood up here and asked you to withhold your hands—that it was a sacred compact between sections—what was the cry ?— That it was nothing but an act of Congress and could bo swept away by the same majority that passed it. That was true, in fact, and true in law, and it showed the weakness of compromises. Now, I only speak for myself, that in view of the manner in which compromises have been ' treated, I should think hardly any two .members of the Democratic party oould look each other in the face and say "compromise" without a smile. A compromise to be brought about after the experience we have had, is absolutely ridiculous.— What are we to compromise ? I am one of those who went with zeal to maintain the principles of the Republican party. In a constitutional way we met and nominated our candidates. You did the same. The issue was made and we went to the people with it, and, although usually in the minority, usually beaten, the justice of oar principles and the bad administration of the Government convinced the people that a change ought to be brought about, and after trying your utmost, and we our utmost, we beat you. We beat you on the plainest and most palpable issue ever presented to the American people, and one they understood the best—and now, when we come to the rupital, we tell you that our candidate must be inaugurated and administer the Government precisely as their predecessors have done. It would be humiliating and dishonorable to us if we list- D ened to a compromise by which we should lay aside the verdict of the people. When ; 1 it comes to that, you have no govern- D ment, but anarchy intervenes and oivil war may follow, and all the evils that human , imagination can raise may be consequent upon such a course as that. The Amen- : ■ can people would lose the sheet anchor of Liberty, whenever it is denied on this floor that a majority fairly given shall rule. I know not what others may do, but I tell you that with that verdict of the people in my pocket, and standing on the platform on which these candidates were elected, I would suffer anything before I would compromise in any way. I deem it no case whero we have a right to extend courtesy or generosity. The absolute right, the most sacred right that a free people can bestow upon any man, is their verdict that gives him a full title to the office he holds. If we cannot stand there, we cannot stand anywhere ; and, my friends, any other verdict would be as fatal to you as to us. You say he came from one section of the country. What of that? Mr. Wade appealed to gentlemen on the other side to say if they believed if the result of the contest had -a been the other way the Republicans would have threatened disunion ? He claimed that if Mr. Liucoln was an honest man, he would administer the Constitution faithfully. Therefore I say to you, as far as I am concerned, I will yield to no compromise. I do not come here begging one. It would be an indignity to the people I represent if I was to stand here Tecreant to the rights of party. We have won our right to the Chief Magistracy, and if you were as willing to do justice to othors as to exact it from them, yon would never rise to ask for compromise. Many of you stand in an attitude hostile to this Government when you threaten, unless we do so and so, you will go out of this Union, ani . destroy the Government. I say, in my private capacity I never ylild to anything by way of threats. In my public oapJtity I have no right to yield. Therefore, J would not entertain a proposition for compromise. This long, chronio controversy must be met upon the principles of the | Constitution. I hope it may be adjusted, BUSINESS CARDS. TTUGLB HOTEL. PITT8TON, PA.— Xj HENRY HUFFORD, Proprietor.

Mr. Powell said he had a resolution to offer. _ ZABBISKIB & LUMBY, At a time like this, when there seems to be unusual excitement, I have very little faith in the efficacy of any argument. But I must say, when, in this very chamber, where we have all raised our hands to Heaven and took an oath that we would sustain the Constitution of the United States, wo hear it said by many Senators that we are upon the eve of a dissolution of the Union, and that our Constitution is to be trampled under foot, silence under such circumstances seems to be akin to treason itself. We have listened to complaints on the other side of this chamber patiently, and with an ardent desire to ascertain what they were. But I confess I am unable to understand what it is of which they complain. The party which has lately elected tho President, and is prospectively coining into power, have never held office under this Government, nor any individual of them. Therefore, it is manifest that that party have as yet committed no act of which anybody can complain. If any one has fears as to what may hereafter ensue, they are mere apprehension—nothing else. A bare suspicion —a fear—rising out of unwarrantable prejudices. I wish to ascertain in the outset whether we are right, for I tell gentlemen here if they can convince me that I am holding any political principle that is not warranted by the Constitution under which we live, or trenches on their rights, they need not ask mc to compromise, for 1 will redress their rights myself when I am wrong. No man need approach me with a threat that the Government is to be destroyed, because I hope that I have now, and ever shall have, that sense of.justice that when any man shows me I am wrong, I shall bo ready to right it without threat or compromise. Now what is it of which gentlemen complain ? When I left ray home in the West to come to this place all was calm, cheerful, and contented. I heard of no discontent, and apprehended there was no cause to interrupt the harmonious course of legislotion. I did not learn that there had been, since we adjourned, any new fact intervening that could at all disturb the public mind. I did not know that there had boen any encroachments upon the rights of any section or any individual. Therefore, 1 came here expecting we should have a harmonious session. It is very true that the great Republican party, which has been organized ever since you repealed tho Missouri Compromise, which gave you four years ago full warning that its strength would result as it has resulted, and I suppose any man might have supposed things would have resulted in the same way—it is true, this party has carried the election ; but I do not suppose anything growing out of the election is the cause of the present excitement in the country. Now, who is it that is complaining ? Is it the minority that they have subjected to an oppressive and aggressive Government. No such thing as that, Sir. We might suppose that 84 years ago, when the leaders of that glorious Revolution met in Philadelphia, there to draw up a bill of indictment against a weak king and his ministers, they had been at a loss what they would set forth as the cause of their complaints. But they had no difficulty in setting them forth, and so that great article of impeachment will go down to posterity to justify them for all they dia.— Let us, then, suppose the old patriots had been the Ministers of the Crown, or members of the British Parliament of the dominant party that had ruled Groat Britain for 30 years previous. Instead of dignifying what they did as revolutionary, who would not have hanged every man of them as traitors? They would ask what right have you, who have had the Government in your own hands, who have been Ministers doing everything that has been done, to set up here that you have been oppressed and aggrieved by the action or that very Government ? It would have been (■PORTERS AND J0BBKR8 OP Mr. Wade declined to give way to be catechised any longer. China, Glass, Earthenware, LOOKING GLASSES, Ac.

NEW YORK, Mr. Wade—I have shown that the dominant party have nothing to complain of in point of legislation. The Rcpulican party in the North, and in Ohio in particular, hold the same opinion, so far as I know, with regard to this peculiar institution that is held by all civilized nations in the world. We don't differ in public sentiment from England, France, Germany, or Italy, or any other civilized nation on the earth. I tell you frankly you will never find a community who are in love with your peculiar institution. Now, the Senator from Texas told us that Cotton was King, and could overrule, by its influenoe, (I do but use his words) and compel men to come down—that it had subjects in Europe. I will say to that Senator that they are rebellious subjects, and are talking very disrespectfully of their King. They tell you they sympathize with those you call Black Republicans. Therefore, I hope we shall hear no more of the toast that "Cotton is King," and is going to overrule all nations and bring them under its footstool. It never will be done. But have our Southern friends any complaints to make of the platform ? I tell you frankly that wc did lay down the principle that we would prohibit, if wo had the power, Slavery from invading anothor inch of freesoil territory of this Government. I stand there to-day. I have argued it to half a million of people, probably, and they stand there—and they have commissioned me to stand there ferevcr, and, so help me God ! I will. I say to you, while wc hold this doctrine to the end, there is no Republican, or Convention of Republicans, or paper, that pretends we have any right in your States to interfere with your peculiar institutions. On the other hand, our platform repudiates the idea that we have any right, or intention even, to invade your institution in your own States. Now, what do you complain of? You are going to bveak up this Government. You are going to involve us in war and blood out of a mero suspicion that wc shall transcend that which we stand hero to vindicato. How would you be justified in the eyes of the oivilized world to take so monstrous a position, and predicate it on a mere suspicion ? We don't love Slavery. Didn't you know it before to-day ? Everything remains as it did a year a»o. But all at once, when we meet here, I find all gloom, and gentlemen rise up to soy we are on the eve of breaking up this Government. Seven or eight States are going to set up a hostile government—and they look imploringly over to us, and say " you can prevent it." What can we do ? You have not condescended to tell tis what you want done. If we should give up the verdict of the people and take up your platform, I don't know but you would be satisfied, and I think the Senator from Texas (Mr. Wigfall) rather intimated, and the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Iverson) rather moro than intimated that if we would take what is exactly the Charleston platform, on which Mr, Breckinridge was plaoed, and give up that on whioh wo won our victory, you would grudgingly and hesitatingly be satisfied. t Mr. Iverson said he wished the Senator would read his speech before he quoted so much fVom it. He had not said they would be satisfied with any suoh thing. Mr. Wade read from Mr. Iverson's speech, reported in The Globe, that he supposed there would be no overt act on the part of Mr. Linooln, but the power of the Government, would be so exeouted against slavery that it would not list ten years, and continued : Then you are not going to wait for any overt act, but are going to proceed upon the suspicion that 1860.

Elmer H. Garbutt, Julius D. Roberts, Mr, WADE—I understood the gentleman to say he did not know as they had been injured by them. These laws were not intended to excite the South, or to put thein in any position of degradation, as tho Senator supposes. These laws against kidnapping are as old as the common law itself. I believe the State of Virginia has one to-day as stringont in its provisions as any of those of which you complain. And here let me say, btcause the subject occurs to me, that the Senator from Virginia seems not so much to point out any specific acts that the Northern people hare done that are injurious to your property, as something he takes to be a dishonor and a degradation. I think I feel as sentitive on that subject as any other man, if I know myself. I would be the last man who would advocate any law, or any act, that would humiliate or dishonor any section of this country, or any individual in it; but, on the other hand, let me tell those gentlemen I am exceedingly sensitive on that sume point, whatever they may think, and had rather sustain an injury than an insult or dishonor, and I would be as unwilling to inflict it upon others as I would be to submit to it myself. I never do either the one or the other, if I know it. But I have already said these gentlemen who make these complaints have for a long series of years hud this Government in their own hands. I may say these gentlemen who have raised upon this floor their bill of indictments against us, have been the leaders of the dominant party for years; therefore, if there is anything in the legislation of the Federal Government that is not right, you, and not we, are responsible for it. We never yet have been invested with power to control the legislation of the country for an hour. 1 know the charges have been made and rung in our ears that we have been unfaithful to your Fugitive Slave bill. The law is exceedingly odious to any free people, and deprives us of all the old guaranties of liberty that the Anglo-Saxon raco have considered more saored than anything else. Dr. A.

Mr. GREEN said perhaps the action on this law had not injured anybody, but he complained of the publio sentiment. He knew it was impossible to reclaim a slave nine cases out of ten, and they risked their lives if they made the attempt. He thought the law no more obnoxious than any in case of scoundrels who rob and steal. [Applause in the galleries.] The CHAIR said the galleries must be cleared if the applause again was heard. Mr. Wade—Never mind, let them cheer the Fugitive Slave Law if they please. Mr. Mason said he should insist on or- I der if the indignities to the Senate did not cease. • AMD MANUFACTORY.
