perform what I conceive to be one of the highest duti of honest, fearless patriotism. I might here stop, Mr. Speaker, and rest this grett subject with the American people. The vast debt, the unparalleled fraud bv which it has

iccumulated, and the iniquitous mode ot easing taxes on the wealth and labor of the country, are all before them. But the political party now in the ascendancy in the executive and legislative departments of this Government havi neyer considered any measure of policy on unv subject complete or perfect, nnless it embraced a connection however unnatural, with the African race, unfortunately in large numbers on ibis continent. These are strange days that have come upon us. We have all lived to see the abolition of slavery become a pecuniary question, and the abolition party become a direct tax upon the pockets of the people. The Federal tax-gatherer will visit every house in the land in the next six months for money to carry out its schimes. In the midst of a war more expensivo than the world eyer witnessed before; with an army and a navv costing ns more than the armies of England, France, Austria and Russia corsbined; with the hand of plunder deep in the sacred vaults of the national treasury; with the hungry spirit of taxation, like the gaunt and insatiate specter of famine, hunting for the smallest substances of a laborious people, out of which to wring an income; with markets closed, prices depressed, bankruptcy casting its appalling shadow on the horizon of the future, and dismay pa hering in the faces of the yeomen of the nation, this, sir, is the time chosen to startle ns with a t eliberate and most earnest proposal to pnrch.ise with money and set free the slave population of the South. The President of the United St-ttes and both branches of the American Congress have solemnly pledged this Government, in thfi face of its own citizens, and before the attentive gaze of the nations t f the earth, to buy and literate, if their owners will sell, the entire four m llions of slaves that are held in the Southern States of this Union. This is the pledge, and it stmds recorded by a vote of the House, by a vote of the Senate, and by the approval of the P -evident, who amazed the country in its zealous recommendation. It is now a part of the financitl policy of the present Administration, made so by a full party expression. Nor has it been barren o" fruits even thus early. The slaves of the District of Columbia have already been bontrht bv a forced and unconstitutional sale, and over one Trillion of dollars appropriated from the earnirsrs of the people to pay for them. This act of fa naticism fixes the meaning which the authors o-" this pUdge attarh to the phrase "pecuniary ad." It lias received a severely practical illustration, and the doubting min 1 is set at rest. Bnt if anything furth t was needed to convince t le tax-payer of the designs of abolitionism, I bave it before me. I hold in my hind a pamphlet of twelve pages, written by Daniel R. Goodloc, an officeholder under this Administration, evidently a nan of ability, buf unfortunately led astray by a spurious philosophy and mistaken philanthropy b the subject of slavery. He warmly and ably esouses the policy of the President, and nakes the following statement of the cost of that jolicy to the American jeople: I have shown hat the compensation to the bonier ft atrs waM be at tw different rate of payment er r a tit a for the slaves, h1 it will have been seen that I have favored the mor.- libera! ,-ale. I now proceed to show what w ould be the qji of redeeming the whole slave popalat ion of the t'nion at the same rates. By the cess, of the last year there were :i,9M.Sl lves in the I aited States and Territories. I have already rhown t J at 451,441, which belonged to the border States, would be worth, at $25 each. 1 11,1 t.Mt Mi at $.100 aeh. 9136.Xt2.300. There remains to be di-posed of, therefore, .1.4S.H.360 .lave, embraced in the country subJw to the rebel, but including. f course, large numbers lielonfriDg to friends of the Union, who have been contained into obedience to the rebel authorities against their will. At the lowest estimated average value of 150. these slaves of the rebel would be worth $s"4,090,000. and ad ling the compensation to the border .States, on the same terms, the aggregate cost to the Govmment wnuM be t9"M.20fl.2..o. At the hisner rate of .ton. the slaves in the rebel States would be worth $1.HSJts.oOO. and adding the cost of compensation to the bonier States, at the same rate, the aggregate expense of emancipation would be 1.1S5.40,3WI. Or, for the convenience of round numbers, the cost of emancipation w.jald be, at 2öO per head. 1,000.000.000, and at :i00 jier head, the cost would be 1 ,200,000,000. These are the figures made by an anient friend of the system, who is now employed, by appointment of the President, in assessing the value of the slaves of this District. Sir, I turn from them with horror. I cannot linger over them. I hand them over to the white sons of toil throughout the land, and call upon them to consider well the lesson which they teach. The Pharisees ot" eighteen hundred years ago provoked the maledictions of the Savi ur by their intemperate and hypocritical zeal in the attaint of other people; and a portion of the citizens of the North, in the contemplation of the above figures, may find a curse upon an exactly similar onense, which will prevent its commission in the future. Abolitionism has hovered in our heavens bke an angel of death, and from its wings has shaken pestilence and war; and now, Kke a gi izzly terror, it comes to every household for even tenth of the fruits of the earth and the Hocks ot the field. Like the fierce locusts of Egypt, it comes to devour our green fields and blast our golden harvests. It comes announced by the President, and sanctioned by both Houses of Congress, and it remains to be seen whether the sinews of strained and suppressed industry will submit to its ravenous and illegal demands. I now take leave of this subject. I have dwelt upon it to-day, not to discourage or depress tlie enerL'ws of the peple. hut to awaken my countrymen to a sense of their perilous situation, in order that they may gird up their loins and meet it in a manner becoming tbe intelligent, free citizens of America. The present, it is true, is dark and filled with the elements of the tempest; but in the sky of the future the star of hope is still burning with ail its ancient lu-ter. I believe in its promises of returning prosperity, honor and unity to this Government. Ay. sir, Hope, II - e. the sweet comforter of the weary hours of anguish, the mer -it'ul and benignant angel, walking forever by the side of mourning sorrow, the Mitling, ministering spirit of every human woe, the stay and support of great nations in their. their trials, as well as of feeble men; hope, that never dies nor sleeps, hut shares its immortaliry with the soul itself, will hear us through the Red Sea and the wilderness that are before us. I indulge. Mr. Speak ?r, in this hope, and cherish it a ray friend a friend that always smiles and points upward and onward to bright visions beyond the baleful clouds that now envelop us as a shroud. Bat the basis of this hope with me is the future action of the fa-ople themselves. In the wise, patriotic and Christian conduct of the Aineri-an people, I behold this nation lifted up Agai a from its prostration, puriried of its bloody poiln. ion. robed in the shining garments of peace, the furious demon of civil war, which has tended as, tad canned us to sit howling amidst the torn!s of the dead, cast out by the spirit of the omnipotent aud merciful Master, who walked upon the waters, and bade the winds be still. I expect to see the people raise np the Constitution of oar dear and blessed fathers from the deep degradation of its enemies, as Moses reared aloft the brazen seqient amid-t the stricken children of Israel for rh- healing of a nation. I expect to see them, wielding tbe sword in one hand and appealing to the ballot-box with the other, crush and hurl from power corrupt and seditions agitators against the eace and stability of this Union, armed and unarmed, in the Noith as well a in the South. I expect to see a Congress succeed this, coming fresh from the loyal and hone-t mi es, reflecting their pure and unsullied love for the institutions handed down to us from the days of revolutionary glory. To this end let all good men everywhere bend their energies. Tlien will come again the glory and happiness of the past those days of puritv, of peace, and brotherly love, over which all America now mourns as the Jewish captive who wept by the waters of Babylon, and refned to sing because Judea was desolate. Thi Union will be restored, armed rebellion and trca.on will give way to peaceful allegiance, but not until the ancient moderation and wisdom of the founders of the Republic control once more in this Capitol. Unnatural, inhuman hate, tbe accursed spirit of unholy vengeance, the wild and cru"l purposes of unreasoning fanatici-m, the deba-ing lust of avarice and plunder, the unfair and dishonest schemes of sectional aggrandizement, must all give way to the higher and better attributes and instincts of the human heart. In their place must reign the charitable precepts of the Bible and the conservative doc trines of tbe Constitution; and on these combined, it is my solemn conviction that the Union of these State, will once more be founded as upon a rork which man cannot overthrow, and which God ia his mercy will not. Aotrm Rebel Pbisokeu Shot On Friday niht last. M B Lovett.a prisoner at Citup Mor ton, belonging to Co. E, 1st Mississippi, was shot while attempting to m ike his escape by the sentinel on duty. The bull grazed him across tbe loins, making a severe but not serious flesh wound. Hia story is that be had bribed the guard wiih seven dollars to let him pass, but this is not considered at all likely, for certainly in that case he would not bave been fired upon. He is now in hospital, and when he recovers will be confined in the jail. ZW There are now fifty prisoners confined in 4he Marion county jail.

We call the attention of Constitutional Union men to the able and interesting letter of Hon William Deer, of New York, on the proposed "Union partv" movement in that State. Mr. D. was formerly a Whig and last year was an influ- , entiat member of the Union Convention in New York, the nominees of which, with the aid of , Republican votes, were elected. An organization ' is proposed i Xew York this year, similar to the ! I "Union party" movement in this State. Mr. Diee's expose of the aims and ends of that organization will suit the political meridian of Indiana as well as that of Xew York, and we hope . . . . . ... . his convincing argument will he read and con- ' I sidered by every Democrat, by every good citizen, by every Constitutional Union man, who ; has been led to look with favor upon the call is- 1 , ... , sued by the Republicans for a" Un.on party, the . design of which is to perpetuate the direction of the Government with those who now control and have well nigh ruined it. The fraudulent Bond. I We publish, this morning, a very conclusive opinion from Hon. J. P. Usher, late Attorney tLmi f .k- c.-- ,i .

the Attorney General in February last, and this ; fact makes the silence of "the Governor, the I Attorney General, the Agent of State nd the I t .-- n - . . , Lioan Commissioners, as to the fraud verv sin- ; J gular. If there could be no innocent parties involved in the fraud, as Mr. Usher contends, we can not see whv the fraud should have been conI j cealed from the public and the State Agency in ! New York ued to cloak the crime. And it will not be forgotten that in the opinion of the Republi can Attorney General tbe State is in no way liable and will lose nothing whatever by Mr. Stover's delinquencies. But that fact is no excuse for the crime of Mr Stovek, nor is be therefore less deserving of censure. The F.varuatlon of Corinth. The telegraph announces, though unofficially, the evacuation of Corinth oy the rebel army under Beacreqrd. It is stated that the main portion of his fort es have retired to Okalona, a point seventy six miles south of Corinth, on the Nash- ! ville and Mobile railroad. If this report is cor rect it looks as though tbe rebels intended to surrender the M -i-.ippi to the Federal forces. The Louisville Journai, of Thursday, has the following information in reference to the matter, which it says was communicated to it on the evening previous by a gentleman who lef'. Memphis recently aud in whose word it places great confidence: Our informant expresses the belief that there will be no general engagement at or near Corinth, as it will beOhe policy of Geu. Beauregard to fall back upon Columbus, or some other point further South. Indeed he thinks Beauregard's present force at Corinth does not exceed twenty thousand men. all of whom are thrown out as pickets, which

movement is designed to cover aud make sure his retreat. In short he feels satisfied that we will have a repetition at Corinth of the scenes that have rendered Manassas, Bowling Green and Yorktown famous iu the war. It is a strategical movement which will present a new phase to the operations in the Southwest. General Halleck should not have permitted the enemy thus to have escaped him. P. S. Since the foregoing was written the evacuation of Corinth is officially announced. Negroe not to be Taxed. Tbe Senate has refused to ta slaves by a vote of fourteen to twenty-two. Browxino, of Illinois, and Lane, of Indiana, and Doomttle, ot Wisconsin, with the Connecticut Senators and Wilson, of Massachusetts, voted with Cowan and die Democrats and border State members to exempt. Rhode Island, with Grimes, of Iowa, Fesbenden, Si' UN er, and most of the anti slavery men, voted to tax negroes.

Why 1 It! Is the President losing confidence in the Secretary of War? Upon any other hypothesis how can the following piece of information be explained, which we find specially reported to the Cincinnati Republican papers? The President is at the War Office every night until a late hour, sending dispatches and receiv ing reports. He takes supreme direction and control iu military as well as in civil affairs. And then another item in the same dispatch is further evidence that there is a screw loose in the " iir department "Assistant Secretary Scott has resigned." What's up? ??'"'" As a member of Congress, I would never vote one man or one dollar to resist the South." The Terre Haute Express .ind the Indianapolis Journal, with the partisan unfairness which ever characterizes those papers, quote the foregoing sentiment as having been expressed by Mr. Yoorhees. He never uttered it. In a speech at Greencastle on the lUth of April, 161, before the commencement of hostilities, he said: "For myself I am for the Crittenden compromise, or the border State proposition, or any other fair and honorable adjustment which will give peace to the country; but I say to you, my constituents, that as your representative. I will never vote one dollar, one man or one gun to the Administration of Abraham Lincoln to make tear upon the South " Mark the words "I will never vote one dollar, one man. or one gun to the Administration ot Abraham Lincoln to make war upon the South." This was said before the attack upon Sumter, and when, according to the highest testimony, "the Administration of Abraham Lincoln" Re , , . . one gun to the Administration of Abrah am Lincoln to make war uon the South? Mr. Lincoln justifies the war upon the South, and the means be has used to prosecute it, upon the ground that the South made war upon the Government that lne reoels ll,u?Braieu nosu.ines. air.v oorhees i term as Congressman commenced with that of Mr. r Lincoln as President. And he has proven that his lovilty to the Government is equal to that of "the Administration of Abraham Lincoln," by voting for every dollar, every man and every ! .it -. w m r gun, that the President has asked for to put down the rebellion. But Mr. Yooruees, unlike Mr. Lincoln, has condemned the rascals who have taken advantage of the public necessities to rob the treasury, and who, under the guise of pa trio tism, have swindled the Government and added vastly to the burdens of the country. Ami another offense of Mr Yoorhees is that he has opposed a financial policy a system of taxation that is unequal, that favors the East to the disadvantage of the West. Upon these issues Mr. Yoorhees has administered a most withering rebuke to the party in power, and for that reason he has been pursued with the most infamous detractions and misrepresentations of his position with the F thiU il would bre'lk il9 effect uPn the eouutrv. But it will fail. He has said noth ing nor has he done anything that is not entirely consistent with the highest devotion to the Government, and we know he has infinitely more regard for its preservation than those who are uow barking at his heels for party purposes Congressional i:truYncance. The members of Congress seem to have unlimited confidence in the financial ability of the countrv. Instead ol considering tueasuies to reuuce nie i-iiwiiimincs in nie nu ei murin uurui-r .

If a Dtmocratic paper had made similar charges against the action of the ruling party in Congress, the papers in its interest would have said that disloyalty to the Government wai the motive which prompted them. But as these charges of "Congressional extravagance" come from a Republican source we presume we can present them for the consideration ot the public and especially to illustrate the incompetency of the Republican party to administer the Government. The State not Liable for the Fraudulent Certificate of stock issued by stovcr. Ed. Sentinel: An article in the Sentinel of the "29th instant, under the head ot "The Stover Case," with which is copied an article from the New York Herald, is calculated not only to cause an unjust apprehension iu the minds of the people of the Stale respecting their supposed lia bility for the payment of what is called au "irregular issue of five per cent, bonds of the State of Indiana," but also contains some erroneous statements respecting the officials of the State that seem to require correction. In the first place there are no five per cent. bond of the State which the Agent could possibly corrupt, but there are five per cent. State atoeki, and it is false certificates of these latter that have been issued, and concerning which the public mind is at present exercised. An examination of the law authorizing and governing this class of securities will dispel all fear of liability of tbe State for the payment of those false certificates. The 4th section of the

act providing for the funded debt of the State, pissed January 19. 1S46. lound in the supplementary act passed January 27, 1847, under "Amendment K," declares that "tbe stock created pursuant to this act hall be transferable. only in the city of Xew York, and books to be provided for that purpose by the State, but no transfer shall at any time be permitted, except on the surrender and cancelment of the outstanding certificates." The stock was created by the surrender by the holders of the outstanding bonds of the State. By the surrende? of the bonds the holders became entitled to certificates of stock by the act created, one-half of which was charged upon the canal, and to be paio only by its tolls and other incomes, aud the other half are to be paid by the State. It being this latter class of stock that false certificates have been issued upon, the canal stock need not be further noticed. The law required the State stocks to be evidenced by certificates, signed by the Treasurer and Auditor of State, attested by the seal of the Stvte, and to be countersigned by the Agent of the State, and they could only be issued in place of a State bond to be surrendered bv tbe holder.

The Agent could not by law issue an original ! certificate, unless it was to a holder of a bond or bonds to be by him at the time surrendered; nor I could the holder of any certificate, whether true I or false, transfer the same in any manner except j in the city of New York upon the books of the ; State. It will be perceived thai there cannot be j an innocent holder of a State stock certificate issued to him without having surrendered a bond of the State for it, or a certificate of stock origi nating in the surrender of such bond. Not only is the mode of transfer of the certificates of stock limited by the act before cited, but a form of the certificate is prescrilied by the act, and uoon the face of the certificate it is declared to be "transferable upo surrender in the city of New York in books provided for that purpose by the Agent of the State there resi dent " The acts under which the stock is created, is aiso referred to iu the certificates, so that no person can claim to be an innocent bolder of the certificates unless the same has been made directly to him for a bond or certificate surrendered, and when the agent issued to any person a certificate or ce: tiiicates of stock without such person having surrendered either State bonds or valid certificates therefor, he was acting without authority, and if the same was done for the purpose of obtaining credit thereon in any manner, whereby any person might be deceived or defrauded, the law of New York made all parties participating iu the fraudulent act, guilty of forjery . Had the Agent of State recognized these false issues by accepting and canceling them, ai.d giving others instead thereof to an innocent holder, it might le questionable whether the State would not be under a moral obligation to protect the holder of such certificate, but from my investigation of the matter. I am satisfied that no false certificate has ever been transferred at the Agency, either by Stover or the pieseut incumbent. But suppose I am mistaken in this, and that some of the false certificates have been recognized at the Agency, how can that benefit the bolder of other false certificates? As well might the holders of counterfeit bank notes expect to make the bank liable for their payment, because the officers ot the bank had ignorantly or corruptly (if you please) paid like paper. These false- certificates, called "an irregular issue," certify that the Slate of Indiana owes some named person a certain sum of money. That person, whoever he may be, is a confederate and principal in the crime of the issuing the false certificates called "irregular." How can he be a bona fide holder? and under what obligation is the Suite M pay him? Whenever he seeks to transfer it at the Agency upon the books of the State, he and hi.s contemplated assignee will be met by the objection that the certificate is spurious. But, says the Herald, in offering reasons why the State should assume the payment of these forged certificates, and recognize them as genuine, that the Loan Commissioners were about to sue the guilty parties, and "were informell by the District Attorney here (New York) and also by the Attorney General of Indiana, that it was very doub'ful it they had any case" "and their delense is that the bankers and brokers whom Stover had contrived to involve in his transactions had capital and reputation enough at stake to redeem the whole irregular issue if no expose was made." As has been shown, there could, by no possibility, be an innocent holder of these false certificates. Mr. Stover contrived to involve no one who was not willing, and who was not an active participator with him in the crime. A certificate exhibited to ine, suppos d to be false, was filled up iu the name of one Hallett, and had a blank tower of assignment indorsed on the back of it. Now, if this was really a false certificate, and this indorsement upon the back was his genuine signature, he has not been involved in that trans action by Stover, but was an equal participant in the fraud with him, and neither will venture to assert that the State is liable; nor will any holder of these certificates, whether bv purchase from or pledged for loans to Stover and his conteder- j ales, have any better success iu charging the ! State with their payments, tor the plain reason ' that the law ot' Indiana allowing the is-uiug of stock certificates forbid such purchase or pledge, j and that there might be no mistake, and that all I persons proposing to take these securities might j distinctly understand how it was to be done, ; they are notified in the body of the certificates ' tint the same are not the subject of transfer and assignment except upon the books of the agency. No amount of fraud at the agency, or insecurity of any kind theieiu, will justify such holder in the belief that the State is under any obligation whatever to pay them. Such holder is bound to know that the agency has but a limited and special authority, and that the Slate is only bound to the extent of its lawful exercise. When he reads his certificate he knows he has no property in it. till it is transferred at the agency, aud has no right to exect that it will be so transferred if it is false or illegal in any respect. So that, in my judgment, the State is under no obligation whatever to recognize any of these spurious certificates as genuine, and indeed it could not be done without legislation and probably an amendment of the Constitution ot the State. If the Agent of the State or any ot its officers presume to recognize them as valid, and pay interest upon them, they will be liable upon their bonds for the funds of the State thus unlawfully appropriated. There is but little probability that there will be special legislation iu Indiana in favor of Stover and his confederates, and quite as littlein favor' of the holders of the spurious certificates who have ventured iqion the integrity of some broker per haps to take them and advance him money upon them, though expressly warned by the certificate itself that it would not be good in their hands. Being the Attorney General of the State of Indiana at the time the frauds of Stover were discovered by the Governor, my attention was by him called to an investigation of the possible liability of the State for these false certificates, aud 1 was then satisfied from an investigation of the subject that there was no iiability on the part of the Slate for their redemption. As an attempt has been made through the press in flew l ork to cause it to be believed that bov. Morton and other State officials connived at j keeping this fraud secret from the public to its j prejudice, I have to sav in answer to that imputa- j tion that some time last winter, in February, I i think, in the city of Washington, 1 received a dispatch from Governor Morton to immediately go to New York; upon my arrival there 1 wi;s iu I formed by him of the fraudulent issue of these j certificates of stock, and required to take such action as in my judgment the inteiest of the State j demanded. An examination of the affair in connection with an eminent lawyer of New York satisfied me that the transaction did not involve ' the State of Indiana in any manner whereby an ' actiou could be maintained in its behalf again. t Stover or any of his confederates, but that the i crime ot forgery against the laws of New York i had been commuted, and to the end that the guilty parties might be prosecuted without any delay, Governor Morton and myself, within day or two after mv arrival in New York, ! called UHin the Attorney General of that Slate mi the District Attorney of the county and city ! of New York aud made known to them the ' existence of the crime. The delay to prosecute j suice that time has not occurred out of any desire or arrangement to let the "banker and brokers whom Mr. Stover contrived to involve in hit transaction" escape, but if they are guilty j the delay will not prove beuehcial to them, out whether there has been unreasonable delay or iot is not the fault of the officials of this State as I believe. Seeing that it is the wish of every citizen of Indiana to do nothing which shall impair the credit of tbe State, and being confident that you would not willingly inflict unmerited censure upon any one, 1 have addressed vou this communication hoping that you might think it of sufficient ira portance to giv it a place in your columns.

A Blatt lirainst Negro Kqunlitjiui the People are to be faxed for. Speech of Hon. Wm. A. Richardton, in Commit tee oj the Whole of the House of Representatives, May 19. Is62. Mr. Richardson. Mr Chairman, I desire this morning to submit a few remarks for the consideration of the House and the country. It is not my purpose to discuss questions pertaining to the ai my already in tiie field, which, if judiciously officered and mauaged. is able to crush out the rebellion. I shall direct my attention, therefore, to the consideration of some of the many new questions which are continually arising duiing the progress of this terrible civil war. Mr. Chairman, there is a manifest anxiety, an overweening desire, a persistent purpose upon the part of prominent members of thedominHnt party in this Government, to place upon terms of equal ity and make participants with us in the rights of American citizenship an inferior race. The negro race, which is incapable of either comprehending or maintaining any form of government by whom liberty is interpreted as licentiousness is sought to be exaited, even at tbe cost of tbe degredatioa of our own flesh and blood. We all remember with what intense satisfaction a recent order of the Secretary of State. Mr. Seward, one of the chief clerks of the President, was received in certain quarters, becau-e it declared that no f ugitive slave should be retained in custody longer than thirty days, unless "by speciel order ot competent civil authority." That I may do no injustice to the head of the State Department and his unwarranted assumption of power, I quote the following official paper itself: Department of State,) Washington, Jan. 25, lt?62. Sir: The President of the United States being satisfied that the following instructions contravene no law in force in this District, and that they can be executed without waiting for legislation by Congress, I am directed by him to convey them to you: As Marshal of the District of Columbia, you will not receive into custody any persons claimed to be held to service or labor within the District or elsewhere, and not charged with any crime or misdemeanor, unless upon arrest or commitment, pursuant to law, as fugitives from such service or labor; and you will not retain any such fugitives in custody beyond a period of thirty days from their arrest and commitment, unless by soecial order of competent civil authority. You will forthwith cause publication to be made of this order, and at the expiration of ten davs

therefrom you will apply the same to all persons so claimed to be held to service or labor and now in your custody. This order h is no relation to any arrests made by military authority. I am, sir, your obedient servant, William H. Seward. While Mr. Seward was issuing this order for a general jail delivery ot the negroes, he was also sending, under a usurpation of power, and in violation of the laws and the Constitution, hundreds of white men and women to fill the cells of the prisons of this District and throughout the loyal States. Against many of these white men and white women thus incarcerated by this despotic Secretary of State, no charge has ever been made; they are imprisou-jd without the form or authority of law, and thus thepersoual liberty of the Caucasian is ruthlessly violated while the African is most tenderly and carefully guarded, even to the nullification of State enactments and the national statutes. Let a rumor become current that a negro has been deprived of personal liberty either in this District or anywhere else and there are dozens of Republican members upon this floor striving to obtain the attention of the House while they may offer resolutions inquiring by what law, by whom, when and where these objects of their undivided affections may have been arrested. Hut never yet has any of those philanthropic gentlemen made intpuiry for the law or the authority under which white American citizens have been kidnapped by the State Depaitment, dragged from their homes and left to pine ami die, perchance, in some of the many Lastiies which this Administration has established. It is well known, sir, that if any white citizen, perhaps a father or brother, desires to visit a relative or acquaintance iu the military service of this Government, that he is obliged to secure a "pass" from some competent authority; and to obtain this he is required upon his honor to declare Iiis loyalty and fidelity to the Government. But the negro goes and comes within the lines of our army, whether his destination be towards or from the enemy ; the color of the black man is his passport, and is received as equivalent to the pledge of honor aud loyalty upon the part of a white person. Iu this District you have abolished slavery. You have abolished it by compensation, by adding $1,000,1)00 to the national debt, and a tax of $73,000 to he paid annually, as interest upon this sum. by taxes imposed upon the laboring white people of these States. Not satisfied with doing this much for your especial favorite, you extend the freedom of this city and the hospitality of the Government to all the runaway negroes iu the country who choose to visit the District of Columbia. You issue rations to them day alter day and week after week, rations which must be paid for throuiili the sweat and toil of tax ridden white men. You are thus supporting in indolence hundreds upon hundreds of black men. How manv and at what cost I am unable to state, because when l resolution asking for this information was introduced by the honorable gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Cox, it was immediately tabled by the Republican majority upon the other side of this House. These gentlemen dare not let this information go to the country; they shrink from the exjwsure which a truthful reply to such inquiry would make. The resolution of Mr. Cox also asked for the number of negroes employed as teamsters in the army, and at what wages; but this was equally objectionable, for it would have illustrated the fact that negroes by the hundred are receiving better pay as drivers than our own white sons and brothers are for periling their lives as soldiers in the defense of the Union and the Constitution. Having been thus deprived ot obtaining official information upon these questions, I am obliged to gather my statistics from such sources as I can. I shall make no statement that I have not received from respectable and responsible parties, and none which I do not conceive to be rather under than over the true estimate. The Government is to-day issuing rations to about two thousand negroes in this District alone, that cost over twentv cents per ration $100 per day, in violation of law, is being paid for this pur pose. The Government is hiring in the District several hundred negroes, some as teanuters and some tor other purposes, to the exclusion ot white laborers, thousands of whom, together with their wives and children, in our large cities are sutlering for the want of employment. I speak advisedly when I say that the Republican party are already paying, of tax-gathered money, in this District alone, over three thousand dollars per annum to buy, clothe, feed and exalt the African race. Thus for the negro you expend more iu a single year in the District of Columbia than you appropriate for the government and protection of all the people in all the organized Territories of the United States. The negro is made superior, in your legislation, to the pioneer white men that settle the Great West, and, amid hardships and dangeis, lav the foundations of new commonwealths; the hardiest and noblest men of our common country. So the people are taxed yearly more for the benefit of the black race in this District alone than it costs to maintain the burdens of State Government in either Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut. Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland. But it is not in this District alone that you require the people to pay tribute to the idol of your affections. Wherever you find our army, with one or two honorable exceptions, you will find that hundreds of rations are being issued daily to unemploved negroes who rendezvous in and about the camps; wherever the army is they are being employed in various capacities at good wages, and to the utter exclusion of white labor that now languishes iu irksome idleness through out our couu.r; . I state, therefore, and I think truthfully, that the Government is already paying $100.000 per year piy for the support and employment of negroes paying it, too, out of money raised through the toil, deprivations and tax on of our own kith and kin. In my district, Mr. Chairman, my constituents are selling corn at eight cents per bushel in order to support their families and maintain the honor and integrity of our Government. Shall money thus raised and for such purposes be diverted to the entertainment of the African? Will my people, will the peoph anywhere, in lure the party and the Administration that thus seeks the elevation of the negro even at the cost of ruin to their own race' One might suppose that your ardor in the care and protection of the negro would stop and cocl here; but no, you still go further. Having made him your equal, as a civilian, you now seek to place him on the same level with American sailors and soldiers. First came the order of the Secretary of the Navv, Mr. Welles, as lollows:

"Navy Department, April .10. 1862. "Sir: The approach of the hot and sickly season unon the southern coast of the United Slates retiuers it imperative that every precaution should be used by tbe officers commanding vessels to continue the excellent sanitary condition of their crews. The large number ot per ns known as 'contraband' flocking to tbe piotection of the United States affords an opportunity to provide in every department of a ship, especially boats' crews, acclimated labor. The flag officers are required to obtain the services of these persons for the country by enlisting them freely in the navy, with their consent, rating them as boys, at eight, nine, orten dollars per month, and one ra tion. Let a monthly return be made of the num ber of this class of persons employed on each vessel under your command. I am, respectfully, your obedient serv't, Gideon Welles." Under the plea of tle approach of the sickly season, Mr. Welies issues this order; under the same plea the negro may be called into any ser vice in the South, though the sickly season, and the terrible effect it might have upon our nrmv

and navy was not thought ot by any Republican official until recently. Having made this progressive step in our navv, (as my colleague from the Bureau District Mr. Lovejoy would call it,) it remains to be emulated in our army. Not long does it await an imitator; General D. M. Hunter, commanding in the military depirtment of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, issues an order to enroll companies, regiments, and brigades of negroes in the military service of the United States. Thus, iu less than two years after the accession to power of the Republican partv, the uegro is : made, as far as possible, the equal of the white man as a civilian, a sailor, and a soldier. Nay, more than this, the Constitution is violated that white men may be bereft of guaranteed rights. White men are strippedof thearmor of American citizenship in order that the negro may be clothed therein. All this has been done against the earn est protest of all conservative meu. And prop ositious and amendments to bills, appropriating money for the suppression of the rebellion, which provided that no moneys should be diverted either to the freeing, the support, or the enlist tnent of negroes, have been invariably voted down by the Republican party in this House. Worse than this, even. General Hunter, in his zeal for the uegro, withdraws the protection of his army from the loyal citizens of Jacksonville, Florida, in order to perfect his great negro boarding house and African military academy at the mouth of the Sivannah river. This is undoubtedly in harmony with his brilliant discovery that African slavery and martial law are incompatible. Common minds have heretofore considered martial law and slavery, either for whites or blacks, among the most concordant institutions upon earth. This proclamatory commander, who vies inrofundity with the immortal Gen. Phelps, undoubtedly considers martial law the very casket jewel of American liberty. My mind, Mr. Chairman, revolts at the idea of degrading the citizen soldiery of my country to the level of the negro. Sir, the American volunteer has always been our reliance in peace, and our vindication in war. I am opposed, and you will find the volunteer army ot the Union opposed, to the equalization in the ranks of citi zens and slaves. Having made such efforts for the negroes of the United States, it would seem that your zeal in their behalf would lag and languish. Hut no; you go wandering over the islands of the sea, and over the continents of the globe in pursuit of negro principalities and republics which you may recoguize among the powers of the earth. Hayti and Liberia furnish further matter for your infatuation to fatten upon, and you at once proceed to establish diplomatic relations between the United States and these benighted and half made parodies upon human government. At an annual exjense of thousands of dollars, you propose to receive negro diplomatists from them and send United States ministers to them; indeed are you the champions of negro equalitv, without regard to cost, place, propriety, or dignity. This Congress has been in session nearly eight months, and all that I have reviewed you have done, and more you would do if you could, for the negro. What have you accomplished for the white man? Have you provided for the payment of pensions to the soldiers who have been disabled while fighting the battles of your country? Have you appropriated money to relieve the wants aud necessities of the widows and orphans of white men who have perished upon the battle fields defending the Constitution and the flag of the country? Ah, no; your time has been too much engrossed with the negro to think of these things. You have not appropriated one dollar for these prrposes purposes which should enlist the ability and the sympathy of every patriot in the I-.nd." If this statement is incorrect; if this Republican party or its Administration have ever made a MtjM effort in behalf of the maimed soldiers, a single appropriation for the support of the orphans and widows of slain soldiers, I hope some gentleman upon the other side of the House will coirect me. 1 here is no response, and I am reassured in the correctness of my assertion by your silence. The alleviation of the surlerings of white men or the protection of their rights is not in your line ot philanthrophy. Like your ili list rioos prototypes, Mrs. Jellabv.of the Bori-bo la ga mission, or the Hev. Amihidab Sleek, in the play of the Serious Family, to the political branch of which you Abolitionists will soon belong, your sympathies are never active in Dehalf ot practical aud genuine benevolence. Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to all these sickly schemes for equalizing the races. God made the white man superior to the black, and no leg islation will undo or change tbe decrees of heaven. They are as unalterable as the laws of nature, eternal as divinity itself, and to legislate against them leads us to infidelity and ruin. Since creation dawned the white race has improved and advanced in the scale of being, but as the negro was then s-o he is now. "But," say the Abolitionists, "the African has been blessed with no opportunity for improvement." Who gave the white man an opportunity? God, in his infinite justice, placed the two races upon the earth at the beginning of time to work out their respective destinies. History has faithfully recorded their achievements. To that impartial tribunal I confidently appeal for the verification of the white man's superiority. As God made them so have thev remained, and uulike the AbI olition equalizationists I find no fault and utter I no complaint against the wisdom and justice of ! our Creator. The evils of the attempted equalization of the races is illustrated by the history of Mexico. That country was settled by the intelligent Spaniard, a race not inferior to our own ancestors. ! They developed the resources of the country by ! building roads, highways and canals. All along i their line of march the church and the schooiI house were erected as landmarks of their progress. , But finally the idea of the equalizing of the races ; became popular; the attempt was made, the races I were commingled, and thenceforward the deteri oration of the people was rapid and fearful. This I holds true not only in Mexico and throughout Central and Southern America, but in all sections of the globe wherever the white race has commingled with the black or the Indian. This svstem of equalization has failed to elevate the inferior, but has always degraded the superior race. On the other baud, wherever the purity of the white race has been preserved, its superiority has continued, and its development, both mental and physical, progressed. Neither soil nor climate, upon this continent or elsewhere, has ever lowered the standard of the governing race. For three quarters of a century the United Stacs have led the van in all that was great or useful in inventions. We have made an errand boy of the lightning: we have applied steam as a propelling power. In a single year we ha e demonstrated the frailty of "England's wooden walls" by the construction of our iron-clad ships-of-war; I and at the same time, by the same thought, dissii pated all previously entertained opinions of seaI coast and harbor fortifications. Sir, I am satis- ' fied with the history of the races as they are, as : they were created, and as our fathers legislated tor them. I claim no originality for these thoughts; they have been entertained by some of the ablest statesmen; not only of our country, but of England, among them Mr. Canning, who, when the British Parliament was considering schemes kindred to those occupying the attention of the Republican party in this country, said: "In dealing with the negro, sir, we must remember that we are dealing with a being possess ing the form and strength of a man, but the iu tellect only of a child. To turn him loose in the manhood of his physical strength, in the maturity of his physical passions, but in the infancy of his uninstructed raasoti. would be to raise up a crea lure resembling the splendid fiction of a recent romance, the hero of which constructs a hu man form, with all the corporeal capabilities of man and with the thews and sinews of a giant: but being unable to impart to the work of his hands a perception of right and wrong, he finds too late that he has created a more than mortal power of doing mischief, and himself recoils from tbe monster ne has made." One of their great statesmen of to-day, Lord John Russell, whenever he alludes to the black race iu America and to a change of its ttatu, talks only of very gradual emancipation, because he knows that sudden and unconditional emanci pation would be destruction to both the negro

and the white man. British statesmen opposed immediate emancipation upon the ground of expediency alone. American statesmen should oppose it, not only upon that ground, but also upon the ground that the Constitution gives no power to interfere with the domestic institutions of the several States no such power either in peace or in war. But to reach the goal of the:r hopes, the Abolitionists of this country are willing to override expediency, the law, and the Constitution; to destroy the Government itself, in order to emancipate at once all the slaves of the South. Mr. colleague Mr. Lovejoy says two thirds or three fourths ot the army are Abolitionists. This may be true, but upon the new Constitution for the State of Illinois, which contains a provision to exclude negroes from locating within the Stale, the soldiers do not vote like Aboli tionists. Eleven of our regiments have already voted upon the adoption of that Constitution. Mr. Wickliffe How did they vote? Mr. Richardson Sixty three votes were given against it, and all the rest some several thoussand were given for it. Throughout the State of Illinois Abolitionists are opposing this Constitution, and Democrats and conservative men are advocating its adoption. Four fifths, and perhaps nine tenths, of all the men that carry muskets and knapsacks in the army of the West are opposed to the doctrines t

j negro equality and abolition, as preached bv the gentleman trom the isureau district of Illinois. He is a man of great boldness, apparently, and I j must do him the justice to say that he advocates i alHjlition and its consequences with great fearj lessness, though he is too discreet to make as strong speeches in Southern Illinois as he does at I Chicago. He and several other gentlemen of kindred opinions lavored me bv canvassing through my district during the last campaign that I made for Congress, and it gives me great pleasure to state that they wr- quite moderate. " A Voice Didn't they give vou votes? Mr. Richardson Well, sir. they were like the boy whom the Minister of the Gospel found fish ing on Sunday. Said he, "My boy, you are very wicked; you ought not to be sporting upon the Sabbath." "Oh," said the boy. "I ain't doing no hurt, and ain't wicked, for I haven't caught a single fish." Laughter. So it was with my abolition friends when they sported in mv district; they were not very wicked, for thev caught no fish. Laughter. Sir, I will not digress, but return to the con sideration of the solemn responsibilities that are resting upon us. Our country is menaced by secessionists in arms, rebels, upon one hand, and by abolitionist, nullifiers of the laws and the Constitution, upon the other. Sir, 1 propose bayo nets for the former, ballots for the latter. These two classes disposed of, aud there will be a return to the proseriiy, the peace and happiness of the earlier days of the Republic. Sir, these armies were raised to execute the laws and main ! tain the authority of the Constitution in all the ! States. They are, sir. to suppress armed violaI tors of that instrument. And, sir, it remains for j the people at the ballot box to suppress those , Northern violators ot the Constitution, if thev would preserve the righ'j aud liberties of American freemen. For one, wherever I am called, and whenever, I shall be always ready to discharge my portion of this duty. Neither the cry ot disloyalty nor the chareof sympathy with the relteis, whether it emanates from usurpers of the people's rights, in high places, or from the base plunderers of the Government, who make '.he negro a hobby horse upon which they ride to enormous and extortion ate contracts neither, sir, shall deter me from the full and complete fulfillment of my duty as a Representative. I denounce here and no one shall gainsay my right to do so as the Representative of a gallant and loyal people the action of this Congress and of the several departments upon the negro question. 1 denounce it as hav ing neutralized to a great extent the effect of many of the hard-earned victories which our soldiers have fought and won for "the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was." This, sir, is what life and happiness have been perilled for in the loyal States; lor this 1 now address you; for this, upon this issue, I shall go before the people ot my State during the coming fall; for this, sir, 1 shall expect there to speak, to act, and to vote; for this, sir, I expect that extreme men, abolitionists mid disunionists, will be banished from the councils of the nation. This great work accomplished, grim-visaged war will smooth his wrinkled front. The din of arms will be lost in the hum of conterted industry and the hymn of domestic endearment. The Constitution, as it is, will stand sublimely forth an enduring monument to the wisdom of our fathers; the States restored, like stars that have wandered, to their original places in "the Union as it was;" our people once more on the highway of nations and on the march towards the fulfillmeut of that grand destiny which God has assigned to them. All these things I hope for, all these things I shall realize, unless the people are again deceived by abolition under some new name. Under the name of Republican abolition can do no harm; in that character its role is ended. It will next appear in a new dress. Already its leaders are calling loudly for the formation of a so-called Union party this is indeed an attempt to steal the livery of Heaven in which to serve the devil. Let the people, being forewarned, be forearmed against the next appearance of abolition. Trust no such affiliations, for one more success of the abolition party, under whatever name it may assume, and our nationality is lost forever, and the wreck of our Republic will strew the pathway of nations with those of Greece and Rome. From the contemplation of such a future I turn in horror; upon such scenes, Mr. Chairman, I trust my eyes may never rest, over such results never weep. Treason at the or!h The Abolition iui Kefusinir to Furaith .viore Troops. We have again and again exposed and condemned the fanatical aud treasonable policy ot the Abolitionists as founded on the single idea of supporting this war as one of negro emancipation, and failing in giving it that character, of abandoning it aud leaving the Government helpless in its efforts to crush out the rebellion. It may be that our readers have sometimes regarded our condemnation of this class of meu as too severe, and have hesitated to believe them guilty of a crime so nearly approaching the treason of Southern secession; but we have been unable to extend that degree of charity to the Aho'it on leaders of the Tribune school, because the proofs have been abundant that they took no interest in sustaining the Government in this struggle for existence, beyond their measure of success in perverting the contest into one for negro emancipation. When that effort finally fails, they will be prepared to advocate as the Tribune did in the beginning a separation and recognition of the Southern Confederacy. Fresh evidence of the criminal disloyalty which animates this class of radicals is just afforded. The President appeals to the country for additional troops to fill up the ranks of our armies in tue field, thinned by sickness and death. Loyal citizens are prep..ied to respond to this call with patriotic alacrity, but the Tribune politicians treasonably declare that they "will demand an anti-slavery policy before they will fill up the regimeuts!" We quote from the Tribune of tbe 22d ult.: "Leading meu from the East and the West alike express grave doubts whether their States will promptly furnish their respective quotas of meu under the forthcoming call of the President. There would be no difficulty, they say, if the people were sure that the war was to be conducted with a single eye to the suppression of the rebellion, whether slavery went down with that which it caused or not. "A war for the maintenance of slavery, as this seems in some quarters to be, a war in which the recruiting officers are instructed to accept no loyal men whose complexions are dark, is not one they think likely to make enlistsments rapid. Some name sixty or ninety days as the periods within which it will be possible to raise the num ber required, while others say that their citizens will demand an anti-slavery policy before they .will till up the rerjiments." We submit to' all candid men we especially ask Republicans wbo are willing to judge impartially of this declaration of a print claiming to be an organ of their party whether this language is not disloyal and treasonable? The Tribune pro poses to cut off the supplies of the Goverameut to refuse it soldiers to overcome this rebellion and vindicate the supremacy of the Constitution unless it will first proclaim "an anti-tlauery poll cy." Ia not this treason? Aud shall such a journal be permitted to afford aid and comfort to tbe rebels? A. Y. Arqus. United States DisraicT Coitt. This Court adjourned on Saturday until July next.
