Tlsv Dlscosslon upon tbe Antllae rr Conatltntlnal Amendment in ttae lajlalaturc. Both branches of the Legislature were en- . gjed yesterday in dia:un the proposed amendment to the federal constitution aboliahirg alAvcrr. In tha HnU? tha discussion was opened by Mr. Rkadlit, who made a short but compact and logical statement of tne argument In opposition to the proposed amendment. He lie was followed by Mr. IIobd, of Bartholomew, la a forcible and elegsnt speech upon the etme aide. Mr. Vam Dtsaiaa continued the debate. adrocating and sustaining a pure higher law riew -of the question. Mr. U.axa. of Vigo, fdllowe!. opposing the ratification of the amendment in a . fpeech most conrincing and 'complete in aru ment, eloquence and comprebens'iTenes. Mr. Ha55A spoke like a statesman, disdaining tbe rode passions of the hour, that now clamor frt- . tfc.t -rtUmn .nmmM nf r.nr fith. era; he looked calmly down the vista of time to the loeical conseouences of this dangerous ac- ! " tloarand showed whither we ate drifting. Un like many who spoke upon this question, he did not wander from the true i'sne. but the whole pftwerof hia eloquence and logic waa concentra ted tinon the-trreit aue.'tion of laving violent r es baads upon the constitution of our country, and thereby itriking down the rights of the states and neonle of tbe states not consenting to this a amendment. , 7 Mr. Uassa'i review of the convention that framed tbe constitution, nd the noble spirits that composed tbat body, was peculiarly happy and impre4ive.

In the House tba debate was interestir.g and excttmr. a svnonis o! which we give in our , legUUtive reports. Col.

The truly elo quent speech ot Col. Pcmia thrilled the hearts of all who beard him. irre-iective of party. His defence of the assaults made ujon him by the centleman from Vi'o (Mr. Meredith): from an - - Jtflewon (Mr. Wbigut), and Tippecanoe (Mr. Mi lam) will never be forgotten by those who heard itlt was withering and overwhelming. The suhject under discussion was a great one, and the elooucnt centleman was coual to it.

If thw subject be er.t biek to them, with the hsrht of this debtte and of amendments proposed, can return to the bJi a r rofiosition which will meet tbe apr.roTai of a lri:e ntaj jritT of the Senate. Then I eay it U troLer, it is according to the uapes of the Senate, and it will facilitate the business of the bodr. Hut, sir, the senator from Ohio ha CO right as an ea'jal ia this bodr to tell us that by adopting tbe course that we think is right we are oppo-ed to a just measure We who are in faror of this rercrence desire to hsre the me&sare considereJ by a committee and rronerly cre-cnted to the body, in OfUCr tnat a ISr'C OlO may )C rrcrntu in I . - 1 . L ,1 2m iKo I Senate. Tbat ctn be doi;e; we hive a right to it: nd it h not for the senator to tbaeatcn sena tors witb the displeasure of the country if they do not agree with him. corporating in this resolution the very words that he desires to be used Other Senators desire that their propyUitjs thall co before a committee and thallbc proper ly considered. As the measure now stands, we are cut elf from amendment. TheSenator.no doubt, h content with the amendment which he has now before thffbody. He has theadrintav as be desires to use: and if any other Senator pre r a fers other language, and desires that to po to the committee for their consideration, tbe Senator ought to treat with indulgence this fair deire on our part. I hone the whole subject will be referred; it is according to the usages of the body, und J think will secure the early consideration ol h measure withwhich we ghall all be content T he Senator from Ohio Mr. Wade and tbe Senator from Michigan Mr. Chandler vesterday a?ed language that I thought remarkable in this holy; but as tbe Senator from Maachuselts Mr. Wilson J his replied in part, it b not neccaairv for me to refer to their arguments at any leagth The Senator from Ohio said; If a nan baa no sympathy with the barbarian, why mre hia nre rat ertet 1 by the proposition t a?ject thrn to the aa;e treatment that they tnnict upon Why la it tbat jrrntlenian's ympatbiea are all that waj Teuknow from tbe evidence tbat the.e ontrair are committee!: a on cannot deny ft. The M-nator from I III noi lo not deny it. He Is too car.oi J to do so. lie aar tbeie U i o doubt abont the fact. ail knawtnai our Kol.Iier to-day are sutje Vd to all tbat barbarity (to inflict upon tli-m. Me know thai Ibis- dar in aouth em nrisotia liiere are lhiuand of our brave soldiers djii'K bf inches by rea-oa of tbe barbarity of their cap tor and aeeperj. Again, the senator says: Sir. avmnatby fr the rebellion cannot Rtop It. FelU.w.hii with th leailers. olj acuuaiatanc with them, h'crh utandimr with them, racing them up as th? Idols of your idolatry, catmot save them. It is difficult to tell to whom the senator re ferred. The most earnest denunciation of tbe measure waa from the senator from Ma-mchu-netts. Mr. Sumuer.J I haJ rot known that the senator from Massachusetts had ever very inti mate fellowship with the leaders of the rebellion I had not known that be was in' high standing with the leaders of the rebellion. I think tint anything but very intimate relations existed between that feuator and the leaders of the rebel lion; and I cannot conceive why the senator from Ohio should attribute to the senator from Massachusetts relations of that sort or sympathy with the rebellion Djcs be refer to other Jena tors? In the course of this debate there has been nothing said which justifies tbe charge of sympathy with the rebellion. So far as I am concerned I disclaim all sympathy with the re beli. 1'oliticallr, I have more cause of complaint against the leaders of the rebellion than the senator .They never were his friends politically. Many of them once belonged to the democratic party, and in my judgment they weie in honor baund to stand by the doctrines of that party as enunciated in the Cincinnati Convention in 1?I6; and when they abandoned the union they abandoned their obligations to the party to which I belong; they cut themselves off from the sympathy to which they were entitled while they stood faithfully lo the union and the constitution. Mr. Wade. If the senator will allow me, I think he is mistaken in one thing. He says that the leaders of the rebellion belonged to the democratic party. I think the democratic party belonged to them. 'I think be is wrong in tbat. Mr. Hendricks. I do pot intend In the coarse of this debate to bandy words. I am answering tbe insinuations of the senator. I should have liked it better if be had made a direct charge against some senator that he held sympathy with the rebellion, rather than by insinuations to make the charge. Tbe senator spoke earnestly yesterday of courage. I think, sir, it is evidence of courage where a man makes a charge squarely and directly, rather than by insinuations. So far m I am concerned, I throw the insiauitiou back to the seuator from Ohio. I have never dune an act. 1 have never said a word, that evidenced a sjmpathv with the . rebellion. This far I have gone ; Oils far I go now ! 1 hope to sec the day when they will be back among us. frienis again, obedient to the law, honoring and respecting the constitution and the flag of my country, so thtt we shall once more be tbe united, prosperous and happy people that we were before these ditScuIliea came upon us. Is that sympathy with the rebellion ? That, sir, in my judgment is sympathy with my country, my whole couniary. This is not the first ti.ein the history of legislation that fear has been held up to control the action of legislators. The senator from Michi can Mr. Chandler makes throats of onr con stituency. particularly the constituency of the senators from Massachusetts. Is the senator not aware tbat tbe language of threat can only bo answered by tbat of defiance? Who constituted tbe senator from Michigan a pedagogue in our body to bold the ferule over shivering children? I expect to vote according to the dictates of my judgment and consc;e!H, and intimations of "avmpuhv with tli rehell ton" will not control me. My cousuieiioe being right on this subject. I shall vote .iciorivig to th it conscience. Äs I referred to the Frfnch revolution the other day bv war of illu-trtt:on. I will refer to it agtin. and will read one passage from Abtt's French Revolution Speaking of the horrible butcher ies daily perpetrated in Paris, the author says: And yet thre was a cowarlTy spirit Impelling thee rn rr. No on dared to ak a word in t.ehalf of mercy let he Loci 1 be deemd in yrn.-athy wuli aristocrats. Heal e w txft frova uspioioo wbq was mireil in denunciation of the mpected. 't i. bowrrer, remark-abb that nearly alt the actors In tbee ienei ot b ood, even in th? hour of death, protested their conii rBiiouuea a:. ibeir i&ugmy. In the mi Jet of tboe horrible scer.es the mot extreme men eicited suspicion against those who were ia favor ot a wier iud more humane policy. 1 have here a list of the executions during tho-e horrible time, but I will not de'aiu the senate by reiding it. But, sir, he in Paris ia those day-; who was not in favor of wholesale butchery was a 'peeted person, and why? Because the leaders choe to oe that snspicton as a power 49 coutrol the votes of members of the convention. Why, -sr. di.l you ever observe the charge tiroti wlich Dinlon waa tried and executed!. When the massacres bad pare to such an extent as to shoek even Dtaton. he wai rut upon his trial, and this is the charge: A secret n:-. of the cara'ttee of Dub!:"s.f..r . coaene4 by siebt, and L:on w& .V .

Nobody Can charge the Senator with any S)m pathy fur rebels after the u.-e of such powerful Ucgnage. If thought become powerlol j the language w Tery Mronsr, the Senator from Uino and the .Senator from Michigan certainly com: mand roost potent arguments. "Hellish rebel t . T 1 er.. k .lav I Vi a B will xvs & duvj, a uvyc .u sec iuq uaj nuiu lurj be American citlzcca agiin, obediect to the laws and the constitution, and when that time comes. I think the Senator from Michigan will look back to this little record of his with some regret. When we come to be one people again, as be and I alike hope for, when the social relations are re stored, when we vjs.t them and thev vi.-it us, when the railroads shall be recorjptruttfd that bind us to them, when our trade fhall be re newed, and the men of hia .täte and of my ftatc phall agiin carry the pro ducts of our rich lanis down the rivers to sell to them and buy from them, and bring bacfc the means ot incieasing prospcritv to our respective state; then the Sen ator will wish be had used euch terras in this debate that all could look back to it without a regret. Mr. President, I cannot t-upwrt the proposi tion of the senator from Ohio, though it is ha.d to tell what his irojxiiion is. He argued yes terday for starvation; but his resolution is not fur starvation. He has vi'ded that. His proJ position befoie the bod v u pun reiiihatioa, con ceding the power to the president, oTrects h'.m to exercise that power only according to the laws and usages oi nations. Theo if he wished this debate to come to a close and that ve should have a vote on the measure, wbv was It necessa ry to go back and discuss a proposition which he had himself abandoned? My objection to it is this: ufter he hail abandoned his original resolu tion bv his modi Scat ion. he then makes, this speech with th expectation, I suppose, that the president will read the resooitioti iu the Iinht of the speech I do not consent to that. His pr position of starvitioo, und the proposition ot the senator from Michigan, of the Ftake, I think would find but little support in this body 1 do not co for it, tnd we cannot go for it. Senntor? e.iv it hi!l be. but I ay it will not he. It can not be, for God and His religion forbid it; it cannot be.for civilized humanity foib'ds it; it cannot be, for the genius of our country presiding over its destiny forbids it. Lot the resolution, then. be modified bv the committee so as to reflect the sentiments of the bo Iv as shown in tbe debate, and the miny ameuJracnts that have been of fered, and there will be no difficulty in pissing the incisure. : INDIANA LEGISLATURE SENATE.

The hour hivinjr srrtvt-d 1 f Nwefcr, the House went into committee of tbe whole on the tlaverv avoetiuient, Mrila.riia in ii.e Mr. Harrlatou stated tl coada-iva of his mind against the passage of the joint N-slution. He ra-'ored against thejowerof congress. to aboltsj elavery, on tbe ground of the teüirted righu of tueautes. qaoting the expeasiaona of the constitution, nd Mr; L'ncoTn'e opitkir.s in support of ba Dos-Uoa.. He urged rocr2f rations to show ihm futiliti'of the politic! 4jgm that tie union could not exist half slave aai half free

This amendment would no more abolish slavery than did Mr. LincolnYproclamatioc. Hedoubted the philanthropy of abolition, and contended that it was disproved in tbe fact thtt emancipation did not better their social condition. Emancipation wauld irjure the while man. It weuIJ level downward. Mr. Harrison's argument, condensed, was as follows: 1st. It is a propoi.kn lo cbasge Ibe orai.ic law of the land; by tbe exercise of a power not delegav-d by tbe comtitatioa to congress. ; 2. ' The eonstitatioa daclares that all power cot delegated by the constitution to congress, nor prohioiteu by it to the autea.i reserved to the states iepectively or to the people. 3d. Slavery Is a local and domestic institution, ar.d is the creature of local aul state laws. At the adoption of '.he present constitution slavery existed in 12 of the thirteen original states, and the right to bold slaves waschen considered, as it has ever been siaco. a reserved right in the states, and not a delegated right. , 4:h. AU power is inherent in the people, acd our government 19 founded on the theory that it derives all its just powers from the consent of the governed. The "slavebolding i tates are to be governed by this amendment, without being even consulted, and deprived ol their property without comp?uatiou. .

o:u. 1 lis ametHiment, if adopted and ratified by three fourths of the elates, is an abandonment of our former position in regard to the conduct of the war, at.d relates back to that aboli rmn heresy that was uttered and put forth in lr35"j, that there was an irrepressible conflict going on between fiecdom and flavery ; that this government cannot exit part slave and prt free Our past history for more than three quarters of a century is a sufficient answer and refu tatiou to this heresy. C:h. Suppose this" amendment is ratified by ihree-fojrtbs of the states, slavery will then have been abolished by law. but will not the rugged issue remain to be solved by force of arms and at the po-ut of the bayonet? The war will tbeu go on für thia purpose, and slavery will have to be' abolished amid the war of artillery, the rattle of musketry, end the crash of armed hosts. ' The present constitution is adequate for all purposes, of war as well as of peace, amid the earthquake throes of civil strife and the conflicts of a foreign war, in every struggle in which our country has hitherto been engaged, it has bon e us triumphantly through Under it the rebellion can b j suppressed and the union of our fathers res'ored. Does this kind of legislation tend to better the condition of the slave? I, for one, have been disposed to doubt the Dhilanthrophy of tho-e who profp-s to be the exclusive friends of the negro. Freedom to the slave under the policy of this administration leads but to degeneration and the grave. This amendment can only be justified on the ground of revolution; that it is right to adopt it simply because we have the power to do it. For the-c and other reasons that I might urge, I shall vote against the proposed amendment. Mr. Harrison concluded by vindicating the democratic party from the wholesale charges of reb? 1 sympathizing and treason, with great force, clearness and tflVct. Mr Boyi followed iu a vigorous speech adv -citing the amendment and iecolution He was for freeing the negro ; placeing him in our armie, and when the war was over be ebou'd nt 6 tetned to bondage. He was a human being mid as such was entitled to be free. But he was not therefore for conferi irtg upon him the privileges of American citizenship. He was not for admitting him the tight vote and bold office. He was not for recognizing him as an equal in societv. He was for mi entire separatio: of the races. He would to God that there was not a black man in Indiana that there was not a black mm in the whole North American continent. Mr. Byd proceeded. Oid Jim Buchanan, when this rebellion was in its inception, was like the old farmer plowing with tbe assistance of his wife. She had started him through several rounds, when at last he came to a stump " My dear," said be, " hall I pee, haw, or jump the Ptump ?" So it was with old granny Buchanan. He, when the critical time came to act, did uot know, whether to gee, haw, or jump the slump. Mr Boyd reviewed the history of the last legislature, and instanced some votes of Mr. Speaker Buskirk, and others, which he considered very outrageous Mr. Buskirk gave notice that be should claim the floor berealter in reply Mr. Boyd denounced The Cincinnati Enquirer and The Indiana State Sentiuel. He held these papers more accountable than any of the rebels themselves. These papers had been read iu the south and their words had gone further to fire the southern heart than anything which could be uttered among their own people. Uniformly these papers, whether intended or not, had been against the war, against tbe government and in sympathy with the rebels. For himself he considered if his duty to stand up for the people of the north. He was willing that the-e papers, and gentlemen who followed them, might do hs they pleased in the regard. He was like the boy whose father, who was very unpopular, was running for justice of the peace Tbe little fellow went through the crowd shouting "Hurrah for daddy!" "Hurrah for the devil ." said come old cock in reply. "That's right," 3 aid the bov,"Iet every one hurrah for his own kin folks." So he said with regard to these papers and these gentlemen, but for himself he hutrahed for "daddy;" he hurrahed for the government of the United States and tbe Union under a free constitution. Mr Beekett followed in an able legal argu ment,' reviewing the matter in a historical light, and presenting bis views forcibly in opposition to the amendment and tbe resolution. - Mr. Groves followed, supporting the amend meut and resolution at great len'h, combatting the arguments of gentlemen on the other side with great earnestness. He declared himself for compensated emancipation, but be was for corfiseating the proprerty of rebels to make tint compensation, to be paid only to loyal men. Mr. Lissallc followed. This question overrides all other questions. This was the firt time Indiana had been cVled upon to make any alteration in the federal compact. . It mav never be in our power to recall what we fhall do t-day. He should vote against the amendment. It was not a question of party with him. - He denied the power to make the amendment. He denied tbe right and justice thereof. He denied its expediency. He argued these propositions with leariiiug and great ability. Delaware had overwhelmingly rejected this amendment. We had every assurance that Kentucky would teject it. Was it right to force a law on these states, depriving their citirens of thtir property? Even rebels, al though they had committed the highest o! crimes, had fOme rights under the law. He exhorted gentlemen to be careful egainst running into extremes. Already we bad extremeties enough upon us. He was not a sixty day raan, bnt he hoped our difficulties would be terminated in a teiror two. Then, as a matter of prudence, as a matter of expediency, wuuld it Bot be better to await that time, when, perhaps, we might '.luve the endorsement of all the etate He would like to -ee this provision engrafted o.ou the coii-titc.ion, but he desired to see it done ' bv every fte in the union. On motion of Mr , Brown, Mr. Griffith being entitled to the floor, the committee rose, rep-rt-ed rrores. and n-ked leave to it gSn at 2 p ra.

The House then went into committee of the hole Mr. Henricks iu the chair on the conit.uüouil question. Mr. Griffith took the ä-cr. to which he was e:.t tied, and agreed iu favor of tbe amendment ai.d of tLe resolution. He reviewed Jert.eJ:v the biUiy of the colonic and of the feden! government as com ected with ihe institution l .slavery. His conclusion was that tie lime ha -f now cometo wipe slavery, cut forever on tLi- . American continent. Tha Inelitution wa accursed, and Le r. j by leai enactment proposed to aboli b it. That it wa so accursed Lad bea proaounced by all eiiguteL.ed statesmen. This conflict mut go on until thi country ii all free or all -lave.
