The Contrast. The difference between the state of feeling North and South as regards the undoubted rights of the opposite section has been often shown within the past few years, and is confirmed more and more every day by actions, which speak louder than words. It can be shown by a mention of familiar incidents that a much greater degree of respect exists in the minds ot Northern people for the rights of the South than manifests itself in the South for the rights of our sec tion. To say nothing of the violation of sacred compromises and compacts by the South, let us recall to mind a few familiar in cidents. In yesterday's dispatches occurred the fol lowine words, dated at Cleveland. O.: "In the case of the fugitive girl, Lney, the de fense was withdrawn to-day aud she will return to Virginia to-morrow. : Here is an instance where a slave escaped and fled to n city in the very heart of the most extreme anti-slavery region in the Union only about thirty-five miles from the famous Oberlin, where, everybody knows, " a white man is as good as a nigger if he only be haves himself." This bond-woman is ar rested, and after an examination of the claim of her master, is given up to be taken back into slavery. Had the mass of the people not been determined to do justice to the South, the woman would never have seen Virginia again, for it would have been easy to release her and take her to Canada some fifty miles across Lake Erie. How is the law against the Slave Trade carried out in the Gulf States ? Very rarely has a seizure been made, and when made the guilty parties have been allowed to es - eape and bid defiance to the laws. When John Erown, with a few crazy fol lowers, invaded Virginia, his conduct was denounced throughout the whole North, and the general verdict wa3 that he suffered death justly. Mississippi, because she happens to be located on the Mississippi river, imagines that Bhe owns it, and, regardless of the rights of the citizens of other States, she establishes a blockade on its commerce, and proceeds, at the mouth of the cannon, to " hail and question passing steamboats," to the serious detriment of the interests of the Northwest. A couple of weeks since the traitorous Secretary of War, Floyd, gave orders to remove a large number of cannon from Alleghany arsenal to the South for the use of the Secessionists, under the pretense that he wanted them to mount in two fortifications one in Louisiana, the other in Texas which fortifications were scarcely begun, much le3S ready for their armament. The citizens heard of the contemplated removal ; , they knew the real design of the abstraction of the artillery, the use it was to be put to, and the deception used in the matter, The Republican majority in the county was near 10,000. The removal of the cannon might have been easily prevented ; but, after the first burst of justifiable indignation was over, peaceful councils prevailed, the citizens withdrew their opposition, and the Government found no obstruction to the removal. Law and order prevailed. During the last campaign Southern orators real secession, disunion fellows, reeking in treason of whom Vancey was a type perambulated the North preaching their odious doctriiies with impunity. They were never so much as insulted, but wer treated respectfully. Southern prints openly publishing treason, were scattered broadcast over the North. No opposition was made to all this, for we live in a section where free discussion has the widest scope. How is it on the other side ? Suppose the most moderate Republican orator had gone any distance into the slave states for in stance into Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, or Alabama. He would have bten hung to the nearest tree till he was dead. How was it with the stray Republican papers that may have found their way down South ?, They were promptly burned. Southern men can come North and talk as they please on all subjects. There is no restraint on free speech. Can Northern men go South and say what they think ? Not if they value their lives. We adduce these examples to show how little reciprocity there is in the irood will for the South existing in the North rvi illustrated by such occurrences as the nhove. How thb Pkoffeb WA8 RECEIVED. The Indianapolis Journal ha3 found the following resolutions passed somewhere in Kentucky at a public meeting. It will be seen " that our valiant and self-sacrificing militia, who offered to go to Kentucky to " suppress abolition raids," "quell servile insurrections" and "other unlawful outbreaks," don't get much thanks for turning their backs on their own people. They are told to mind their own business : That if the first company of the first regiment of Indiana volunteers have tendered their services to the Governor of Kentucky in resisting all raid3 against us and our sister State3, that we, the unsophisticated cor, orations, institutions, &c, aforesaid, hereby tender to them our sincere thanks ; the grateful feelings of our hearts are far beyond expression ; but at the same time we regret that there is not More of us that can testify to this chivalric Ct. That when we ascertain that said services have been tendered to the Governor of our beloved Commonwealth in good faith, that we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors to make suitable acknowledgments therefor, and that we (if we know nnrj(lirfg will upvpr fnrorpt the kindness

of the few guardians of this county, who J publish Mr. Seward's recent great speech in have undertaken to advise ns of our obliga- j the Senate ot the United States, on the nations, lional troubles. It is said to foreshadow

Itatstogr the American Flaij m tlie

In accordance with arrangements made by the House of Representatives, the American flag was raised on the dome of the State House at Indianapolis on Tuesday afternoon, 22d irist.- The ceremonies on the occasion were very impressive. The military and fire departments of the city formed in procession and marched to the State House square. The steam fire-engines and horses drawing them, and the gun carriage of the City Greys' Gun Squad, were gaily decorated with flag? also a number of houses along the line oi jiarch. The City Greys' and National Guards' Bands made enlivening music, and the chime of Christ Church played Yankee Doodle, and other national airs. The day wa3 pleasant and large crowds of people witnessed the ceremonies. In raising the flag, the flag-staff (made of soft pine !) broke into several pieces. Some thought this a bad omen. The Local of the Sentinel well savs that it was nothing but au omen that, the wrong timber had been used. (What is the need of seeking a supernatural cause when a natural one is at hand?) After the accident several men speedily and enthusiastically mounted to the dizzy height and adjnsted the halyards to the stump of the staff, when the flag again went up, amid the cheers of the multitude, the music of bauds, thuuder of cannon, and the whistling of the steam fireengines. Hon. H. S. Lane, Ex-Gov. Hammond, Hon. T. A. Hendricks, and Gov. Morton then addressed the people in patriotic and eloquent words. Miss Caroline Richings, the actress, varied the exercises by singing with excellent effect the " Star Spangled Banner," and reciting Capt. Cutter's ode " E Pluribus TJnum," amidst the greatest enthusiasm. Washington Items. We clip the following items from the Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette, dated Jan. nary 22: There seems to be a growing impression, upon what definite grounds I cannot say, that there will be some arrangement effected this week of our difficulties. Senator Pearce ' of Maryland, expressed this belief to-day. Probably Rice's plan of adjustment, to divide the Territories into two States, subject to re-division, may be adopted. But the question is, whether States that have gone will come back. Secessionists are greatly annoyed at the steady concentration of troops here and appearance of military men in the lobbies of the Capitol. Dragoons from Carlisle Barracks were expected to arrive to-day. The enrollment of the militia ia also going on vigorously. The police force at the Capital has been doubled. Under these energetic measures, apprehensions of an outbreak at the inauguration are disappearing. Mr. Faulkner, Minister to France, writes home that Louis Napoleon officially stated to him his disapproval of the Secession movement in this country, and that he hoped the Union would be preserved. The South, therefore, need expect no sympathy in that quarter. , . ,. , The official report of the Secretary of W ar shows the amount of arms seized by the South, exclusive of those in Florida, to be sixty thousand muskets and six thousand rifles. The election in Charlc3 county, Maryland, has goue for a State Convention by a large majority. It looks as if one would now be called ia Maryland Without the action of the Governor. Colfax's bill to suspend mail facilities with seceding States, will be strongly pressed, and iu the present temper of Congress will likely pass it. It will caude great embarrassment , in. the Southern States, and add largely to their alrendy heavy expenses. Slidell and Benjamin expect to be out. of the Senate this week. This will give the Republicans at ouce the control. The Two Liberal Governments. The following item is from the Springfield (I'd.) correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette of the 2 2d. Matras Romero, the Mexican representative of the Liberal parly, was with Mr. Lincoln this morning. The sympathies of the Liberals are with the Union men of the United Suites. They dread the license w hich disunion would give to fillibusterism. Who knows that Old Abe didn't have an understanding with the Liberal representative for a protectorate in case the South should "fly off the handle?" 1 Kansas. The bill for the admission o' Kansas has passed the Senate with an amendment offered by Mr. Fitch in regard to the judiciary. This amendment is probably vital and put on to kill the bill. The bill now goes to the nouse for concurrence in the amendment. ""' "The Hous will strike the amendment out and send the bill back to the Senate. , By that time the friends of the original bill will have a majority of the Senate ou account of vacancies caused by the leaving of Southorn Senators. The bill will go through and Buchanan daro not veto it if he so desires. So Kausa3 will be in as a State in a couple of weeks, as she ought to have been long ago. EiS" We learn from the Vinccunes Gazette of the 23d that William Adams, au old and well known citizen of that county, died suddenly there on the" 19th. Suspicions arose that he w3 po'i3onecl.: A-coroner's inquest vas held and the verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to his death by poison administered by some one unknown. SyThe members of the General Assembly who have gone to Springfield as a committee to invite Mr. Lincoln to visit Indianapolis on his way to Washington, are Messrs. David C Branham of Jefferson and Robert A. Cameron of Porter of the Iloase, and Walter March of --Delaware of the Senate. .

Idjlanapoll Correspondence. Thb TRIBUNE ALMANAC This DOOk, """"Indianapolis, Jan! 22, 1861. which has become a necessity to the poliEditou Journal: The Legislature con- :,.: v.,j i : r

yeQcd at 2 p M yesterJay apparently much freshened up by their brief holiday, and transacted considerable business, for an afternoon. A communication was received from the ; Auditor of .State, showing that the Treasury is in danger of collapse, the amount of cash ou baud being about $27,000, which will require a loan to keep the machine of State runningi The communication was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means, whose Chairman, Mr. Branbam, will be very apt to know what has become of the money, before he has done with the subject. Mr. Frosser some days since introduced a bill to repeal the law prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons. This measure excited some sensatiou, which was scarcely lessened when the reason for introducing the bill was given ; namely, that the law was not enforced, aud observed only by i peaceful and orderly citizen?, who were thus left, ivhen assaulted, at the mercy of bullies who always go armed. Some recent occurrences : in our own quiet and moral city, give but too much weight to that ' argument, though I hardly think the law will be repealed yet. But it ought to be more fully enforced. A tact was stated in the House during tho session of yesterday afternoon, which I presume was new to the twajority present and will be to the majority of the State; which was that one of the signers of the Declara tion of Independence lies buried at Charlestown in this State, in a grave wholly undistinguished, and recognizable only by the testimony of a few of the oldest citizens. His name was James Wilson. A committee was appointed to erect a suitable monument over his obscure and almost forgotten grave a most fitting and needful act of legislation. Some incipient measures were also taken looking toward the purchase by the State of the philosophical apparatus and geological cabinet of the late David Dale Owen. It is earnestly to be desired that such a resolution may be passed. The matter of tho Northern Penitentiary was again stirred up, and the joint select committee ordered to visit aud examine the site. The report will be looked for with intense interest. This afternoon the flag of the Union is to be raised from the top of the dome of the State nonse, with a salute of 33 guns by the artillery squad, and a military parade. The Legislature will of course adjourn for that ceremony, which, in the judgment of this writer, will cost more than it comes to The position of the flag is an inconvenient one. It should have heen on the trout end of the Capitol, where, though not so high, it would have been much more accessible. Placed as it is, at the top of the pepper-box which surmounts the dome, it is worth a man's neck to reach it, and has required the removal of the gigantic flower-pot (I suppose it was) which stood on the top of the pepper-box. The staff towering some 20 feet above the lightning rod, will relieve that instrument of all responsibility in tho thunder season, if it stauds there so long, and will be quite likely to bring down upon the dome and the building, the wrath of the first anti-union thunder-cloud that may sail over it. But the Legislature expect to lie awav be fore that, " the gentleman from Washington' (Heffren) and all. The proceedings this afternoon will doubtless be very grand, but the mail arrangements will not allow me to chronicle them to-day. Sheppard completed his walking feat at 10 o clocK on Saturday nigut, more insane than rational, and more dead thau alive. I trust the moral sense of our community will never tolerate another similar perform ance. It is admitted to be as demoralizing as a prize fight. You have not, I think, adverted to the singular fact slated by our Journal, that we have had in ludiana four different governors, all in a regular constitutional way, in the space of three months. Scums. "This Journal hat adverted to that fact. Ed. J B5L Wendell Phillips, the abolition oratorj delivered a violent speech on the crisis on the 20th before the 26th Congregational Society of Boston. The telegraph gives the following account of the occurrence : He declares h'inself to be a disunion man and was glad to see that South Carolina, and other Southern Slave States, had practically initiated a disunion movement. He hoped that ail the slave States would leave the Union, and not stand upon the order of tbeir going, but go at once. lie denounced the conservative spirit manifested by Mr. Seward and Charles F. Adams, with much severity ot language, and there was an occasional stamping of feet and hissing,but no outbreak. Mr. Phillips was escorted home by a lew policemen, and a great crowd rushing about him. The audience in the Hall was composed mainly of those attending service there. Buowklow on Andy Johnson. Parson Brownlow, through tho Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig, says : We can tell the viliners of Johnson, on account of his late speech in the Senate, if they are ignorant of the fact, that the people of Tennessee are with him, and, by an overwhelming majority, will sustain him, in his position. Nay, while the town meetings and village cliques are uttering loud swelling words of condemnation against him, the real people of Tennessee, irrespective of parties, are responding, Well done, good and faithful servant! And upon the issues raised in his speech, he can beat any Secessionist in Tenoesseo of any party, in a race for Governor, forty thousand votes ! 6"A correspondent of the Madison Courier, writing from Indianapolis, says: "In the Constitution of the State the militia is divided into sedentary and active. It is more than probable that the Legislature will call out the "active'! aud commission oflicers therefor, leaving Gov. Hammond's officers to command the sedentary." A Fcgitive Slave Case. A negro man, the property of Mr. Andrew Wilson, of Georgetown, . Ky escaped from the steamer Fanny Bullitt, while lying at our -wharf, yesterday morning. Prompt measures were taken for his capture, which was effected the same evening, some five miles east of this place. He was handed over to his owner, who shipped him South on the Ben. J. Adams.
