Speech of Ex-Secretary Toucy. Wo make the following extract from a recent speech of Ex-Secretary Toucy, (a member of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet) delivered at Stamford, Conn., wherein he explains the action of the Buchanan administration dangerous policy of Mr. Lincoln and his supporters the Remedy,

etc. Fellow-Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen : It has been my intention to withdraw from professional activity and from public life, and pass tho remainder of my days in quiet retirement, and I do not now depart from that resolution. When your State Convention at Hartford requested mo to address that body Ireplied, No ; I will addresj the people and make known my views upon the present terrible crisis in the affairs of our country. I come here, gentlemen, under the impression that the present is a very serious occasion. In my opinion, the enemies of the country are about to ove' throw the Constitution, fhey have alreadv taken po-se-sion of this citadel, and the only remedy that can be applied is that the people, instead of our public servants shall take tho matter into their own hands that the people of these Northern States, that the conservative men otthc country, shall take possession ot the government, ana ot the state gov-1 c ?rnments, .and thus apply the only remedy ly that remains in tins disastrous state of affairs. Soon after the election of Mr. Lincoln it became necessary for Mr. Buch anan, as President of the United States,' to determine what line of policy should be adopted for the pi enervation of the; Union and to restore the Constitution to its supremacy by the exercise of all the I powers which it confers upon the federal government ; to avoid a collision of arms and the shedding of blood ; to give time for reason to control the judgments of men ; to support that healing measure, the Crittenden Compromise, which I venture to affirm, had it been submitted to the people, would have received the sanction of three-fourths of the people ot the Northern States ; to foster a Union party in the South, which at the commencement of this administration divided the people of the states now in revolt about equally ; to rescind those acts of our northern legislatures thai necessarily obstructed tho execution of the fugitive slave law, the fugitive slave ciause of the Constitution. Thee were the main features of the policy adopted by Mr Buchanan; and if that policy had been carried out we, at this time, should have been one country, in the enjoyment of peace and that splendid prosperity which we theu enjoyed, with the possible exception of one state, and that state could not have held out very long. Now, gentlemen, I feel bound to say, irom the position which I occu pied, that it was the most anxious wish it was the sole object ot 31r. luchanan to preserve this country as one country, under one Constitution, and to make the Union perpetual. If that policy had been carried out, where. should we have been ? It has been departed from, and where are we now ? From the time of the election of Mr. Lincoln to his inauguration, neither he nor his irieiuis in vougrcss wouiu say one word toward conciliation and the ettlement of our difficulties ; what they did say had an exactly opposite effect. But they maintained a dogged silence when appealed to, and not one word couid be dragged from them which would tend to pioerve this great and happy country in the condition it was when he was elected. After his inauguration Mr. Lincoln, for a number of weeks, purposed to withdraw the garrison from Fort Sumter. It had been reported to him that to relieve it would require twenty thousand men and a powerful naval force upon the coast to MiNtain it. 1 know that General Scot presented these reports to the President soon after his inauguiation ; and su h an impression was made upon his mind, and m-tlv made. let it was reported among his friends, as well as among his opponents, ami it was general ly believed that it was his determination to withdraw the garrison from the fori and thus avoid a collision. This avoided, there would have? been no excitement at the North, which was inevitable from an attack upon our Hag, the feelings that existed before would have prevailed, and pacific measures, in my judg ment, would have preserved the country from the terrible catastrophe with which we have since been visited. Now, gentlemen, this continued for rive weeks until near the middl of April, when the abolition party, the real radical, sectional, abolition party, prevailed in the government. There were two parties in the administration, the one just mentioned, and the other the conservative men who prefened peace and would have been very glad if that pacific course bad been pursued by Mr. Lincoln. By the conservative portion 1 mean those men who aided to elect Mr. Lincoln, who upheld the abolitionists in power, strengthened them, gave them votes, and put that party in the possession of the government at Washington in poesRion ofthe6tate governments at the North. The real abolition party were uot for war in the beginning. They were not willing to be associated with the slave -states ; they were not willing to maintain the Consti-

a.ttfeafti tntion, because they said, and probably ' Itbt cttlcni Bta aaonf tbtn btlitrtd,

that it was a pro-alavery Constitution.

They even burned the Constitution at their festivals; they said it was a "league with death and a covenant with hell. The great Whig party, which was as na tional a party as ever exist!, ana tn great Democratic party both these na tional parties detested the ideas that were then held bv the Abolition party. The radical portion gained the ascendancy it the administration, and went into a civil war such as never before existed on this globe. At first Mr. Lineoln declared himself virtually and clearly to be conservative in his views. He did not wish to do anything more th.-n restore the Constitution an l the Union. When Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated Congress was in session, but that Congress adjourned without votinging a man or a dollar; but the administration in the short space of six weeks plunged into this war. An extra session of Congress was calle I ; the war had already begun ; the irretrievable step had been taken, lhe House ot Kcp resentatives adopted, on a vote Oi 117 ayainvt 0. tho following resolution "Jitsolved. Bv the House of Ropre;cn j tatives of the Congress of the United States, that tho present deplorable civil war h is been forced upon the country by the secessionists of the Southern States ;dov in revolt against the constitutional government and in arms around the capi ta j tltH.t in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion or resentment, will recollect on lv its dutv to the whole country ; that this war is not waged upon our part in any spirit of oppression nor for any pin 'pose of conquest or subjugation, or pur n()3e Qf overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those states, but to defend and maintain the spirit of the Constitution, and to preserve the Unitin with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several states unimpaired ; and that as soon as this ob jct be accomplished the war ought to cease. This, gentlemen, is my platform ; this is the Democratic patform ; this is the platform of the conservative men of the country those who would maintain the Constitution. (Applause.) Under this almost unanimous declaration; under a thousand assurances at the same time from the President, they appealed to the country, and the heart of the country responded to them. A million of men voluntarily rushed to the battle-field upon that platform, and a thousand millions or money were freely granted. But another policy, the policy of abolition was adopted, and the liberty of speech, thelioerty of the press, personal security, and personal liberty were all made to succumb to it. Since the adoption of this new policy that cordial support which the peopl first gave the administration has been withdrawn, as the elections will show. The adminitratton have proclaimed martial law in the loyal states ; they have suspended the writ of habeas corpus : and I do not think the servants of the people have a right to treat the people in that way. (Applause.) You have no liberty anil have no freedom ; you are as great slaves if this legislation is upheld, as the lurks under tne despotism that crushes them. Gentlemen, obey the law, obey the Constitution, let no mau resort to any force or violence ; submit; but I will tell you what vou can do : resort to the great remedy ot a constitutional governnwnt; resort, gentlemen, to the remedy that the Constitution has reserved to you; while you are passing upon these acts ol your public servants, reaorttothe ballotbox. (Applause.) A Big ThinK on a Jersey Lawyer. Our esteemed friend, David I McBrien, Esq., of New York, tells a good note on a Jersey lawyer. The hero ot our sketch during the last hot summer mouths used occasionally to worship at the shrine of Ganibiinus, (Lager King,) on Broadway. One sweltering day, hg got pretty "mellow," having moistened his thorax too much with the German beverage, and proceed to navigate to his law orfice. He took up a substantial looking white hat, and with rather a puzzled look was making an attempt to put it on sideways. Ot course it would'nt fit. He looked inside, holding it up toward the light, and read aloud : "Jonas Shooter Esq., Attorney at law, Jersey City." (Sol, o.)"Thats my hat of course it is." "Another attempt to put it on sideways ; no use ; again taking it otf, and again read, "Jonas Shooter, Esq., kc, &c.M After another trial, and finding it didn't fit, the gentleman commenced ft cling all over his head, evidently as if to assure himself that no protuberanca had suddenly declared itself. Having satisfied himself on that point, he once more read the address, had another trial, and still sideways. Then he stood perfectly mystified ; but an idea lighted up his face, and he called the waiter, whom he apostrophised thus : "Can you read writing ? "Yes sir." "Well, will yon be good enough to tell me whose hat this is?" Hfrmen took the head case, and having read, said "It belongs to Jonas Shooter, Esq., Jtmy Oity."

"Does it ?" and looking all around

with the most comical air in the world exclaimed "Does it ? then who in the (hie) duce am J 1 1 " A Republican TJ. S. Supreme Judge Declares for the Democracy. About a year ago Lincoln appointed the Hon. Daniel F. Miller, of Iowa, one of the Judges of the U. S. Supreme Court. Mr. Miller n-w repudiates the adminis tration of old Abe ! In a letUr dated. "Keokuk, Iowa, Nov. 11, 1863." just published, Judge Miller says: "lhe recent elections have gladdened my tmrt more than 1 can find words to express, for I feel that by the success of the Ueraocracy we shall have a speedy restoration ot the Union and Constitution al liberty. I am an old Clay Wiiig, as yon all know, and when that party went down, I united with the Republicans, in the hope and belief that it would succeed to all the loyal and national virtues of the Whig party, and that we should hare Whig principles and policy prevail under another name. But 1 got more than I bargained for. It was not in the covenant that we should have civil war as a consequence of Republican success ; that the public treasury was to be plundered by wholesale ; that "free soil" in legal States should becoered with martial law ; that "free speech" should be chained in the bastile ; that the free homes should be sacked to desolation, and the free men should be confined in its practical oper ation to trie negroes ot the bouth, and the Abolition wing of the Republican party at tho North. No ! We old Whigs, in uniting with the Republicans. did not consent to be a party to any such violations ot constitutional liberty. Had the counaals of Gen. Scott, Milliard Fillmore, John J. Crittenden. Ste phen A. Douglas, and. indeed of all the wise and good men of ur nation been heeded, we would not now be afiiicted with the civil war that is unonHis. They could not have prevented South Carolina from her attempt ot revolution, but the Crittenden proposition would have saved all the rest of the Southern States, and long before this, at a trifling expense oi money, and at a small loss ot lite, that rebellious State would have been hum bled before tho flag of the Union. But how did the phrenzy of the Aboli tion lea lers meet that proposition. They said, away with it, away with it, and crucify all who advocate it. They farth er said, leave tho slave States go 1 We can do without them, ami we will speedi ly reap the advantage of a separation. hen the conservative element of the nation proclaimed itself for the Union, theu the Abolitionists assumed that they were the war party, and denounced all others as rebel sympathisers. That the Abolitionists are in favor of prosecuting the war for their love of the Union. I am sine is not the case. Their object is to abolish slavery only, and il that should fail, they will again speedily raise their old cry of "let the Union slide." Gentlemen, it is the mission of the Demociatic party to save the Union. It has always been a loyal and nation al party ; it has ever upheld constitutional law as the only safeguard of freedom. It was the party that hauled from the authors of the alien and sedition laws, sixty years ago. and for all that period they guided our ship of State successfully and gloriously through the wave of commotion and the dangers of foreign wars. 1 regard the Clay-Whig party, and the Douglas Democracy as genuine branches of the old Democratic party ol 1798. When I see Gen. Scott and Milliard Fillmore, and Crittenden, and Ketchutn. and Hunt, and all the old prominet Whig of twenty-five years ago, now united at the polls with the Democracy, I can have no doubt that if the immortal sago ol Ashland.ihat purest of patriots, most eloquent of orators, and wisest of statesmen. Henry Clay, were s'.ill alive and in our midat, he too would lend his voice in favor of that party whose watchwords are the "Constitution as it is," and "The Union as it was." The Abolition leaders had so little idea of the character of the conte.t they weie enterin upon that they proclaimed that the war would be over in sixty days. They have had all the money they asked tor and yt the war wages with unexampled fury at the end of 500 days. The result for the last eighteen months demonstrates clearly the necessity of a universal change of rulers, and as "old Whigs claim to love their country more than party I hope they will speedily unite under the Democratic flag, for the salvation of our Union.

Correspondence of the Journal of

Commerce. . Washixotox, March 26. 1S63. Within the last few days certain radical papers have been informing the public that the members of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, were about to make their report. In every instance these statements have been conpled with the apparently innocent remark that the report would be very severe on General McClellan. This attempt on the part of the self-appointed committee to manufacture public opinion, is too transparent to deceive ; like all demagogue doings, it will only result in covering tnem with shame. The consummate fol ly of Congress in allowing such a com tuittee to be organized need not be dis cussed ; and when the public are inform ed that fiVe of the seven members are no torious abolitionists, ther will know how much justice to expect from the action of the committee, which han already been described as the "Inquisition on Mc Clellan." Cut I propose to make your readers better acquainted with this tribunal. whose military wisdom and lofty patriot ism are supposed to be, by imaginative men, or a magnificent order. Common decency compelled the managers of this ousiness to admit two Democrats upon the committee, Mr. Wright of the Senate, and Mr. Odell of the House, but they have had as rau:h to do with the estigation as if inhabitants of the moon, bo much better for their srood name. The other members are all noted for their radically (the printer will be careful with that word) and here is the catalogue. Number one is Mr. Wade of the Senate. He was born in Massachusetts, and is sixty-three years of age; and before entering the Senate, in 1851, from Ohio, he was a justice of the peace, a county attorney, a State Senator and judge of a county court. Number two is Mr. Chandler, of the Senate, was born j in New Hampshire, and is fifty years! old ; 'he was bred a merchant, and before entering the Senate from Michigan, in 1851, he held the office of Mayor of Detroit. Number three is Mr. Gooch of the House. He was born in Maine, and is forty-three years of ago; was liberally educated, and is a lawyer by profiou ; and before enuring Congress, from Massachusetts, was a member of this legislature. Number four is Mr. John Covode, born in Pennsylvania, fifty-five years ago; and buforo coining to Con-! ufrcs8, was engaged in the coal business. Number five is Mr. Julian, of Indiana. He was born in Indiana, and is in his forty-fifth year. He is a lawypr by profession, and before his first election to Congress, served one year in the legislature of that State, and figured extensively in the liberty party convention. Thus we see that the public antecedents of all these gentlemen are crcditabla, and that their advantages for doing good, as public men, have not been meagre. Bui can the historian of the day point to a sin1 m m M gie measure or a single need perlormed by cither of them, which has benefitted the country or given them enviable repu tation ? Four of them, at least, have lone quite as much as any other four in tho country to inaugurate the war, and to fan tho flames of hatred and bitterness luring its prosecution. Now, what i the record, as a public man, which General McClellan can show ? Ho is the lero and patriot whose great fame this small party" of radical demagogue are attempting, as is supposed, to destroy. Their petty animosity will bo utterly unavailing. Politically speaking, they are the direct descendants of the men who wrote for the Philadelphia Aurora during the revolution, and who did not scru ple to call General Washington a cow ard, a traitor, and a scoundrel. The peo ple of this country love General McClellan for his personal virtues, and honor him for his military genius and learning, and his name will bo a household word throughout tho world when his spiteful enemies and small detractors have been utterly forgotten. But one word more about this Convention. People are asking this pertinen: question "How doe this committee get its authority to sit after the expiration of Congress, and what authority have they to publish a report whieh ha never been made to Congresa and which Congress might not accept if it were in session?" If Congress can give one of its committees power to sit after it has ceased to exist, it can give the same power to all its committees ; and if this be so, it has the same power to prolong its existence to an indefinite period. The subjoined extract is from a private letter just received in. this city from Paris, dated March 4th, and is of sufficient interest to be made public: "The last bit of news is that Slidell has offered the person who controls the French Press, five hundred thousand bales of cotton to favor 'he Southern cauae, or to publish, or allow them (the South erners) to publish all they wish in the buy the Press. They have evidentlv al ready bought many of the English papers." Men in general, are more com

A Laiy'a Opinion of UcClsll&a. The Albany Jcumil prints a letter from a distinguished and venerable lady of Boston, in which the following paragraph occurs : The echoes cf Boston and Cambridge. which for the last ten days have returned the name of McClellan, uttered by those of all parties, have reached even me ia my quiet noot, and tempted me to get a peep at him. I feared at first, that like

the poor old woman who hobbled after W hitfield, and congratulated herseif that if she did not seemx. she saw "his dear wig," I should have as little to tell.-r However, I did see his sensible xnaalr face, and very agreeable mIL which last, though not intended for me, was pleasant to behold. I nave followed fcia course since he first appeared ia our War period. Of his military abilities, except as reported by those having the nearest and beat opportunities of judging. It would be presumptuous absurdity in me to speak ; but my independent impreo ion of him is based, as 1 believe, en first principles his modesty, forbearance and humanity. He interested me from the time he refused to make a speech, on the ground that he had as yet done nothine tujuKuiy u. Aiicn, again, as a commander, I ask myself, was ther ver an incompetent, blunderir.r General, roselar with his army ? Did dying men ev er spend th?ir last breath in cheering one who had, through his own incapacity, led them to disaster and pestilence? I never heard of one such.

A ftiend who has long been afiiicted with this painful disease, and who has resorted to every remedy suggested by the most skillful, medical practitioners, without findinffrelief, informs us that he has finally dis covered a sovereign cure for this terrible malady. He says it is simple; but cer-' tain, it consists of a mixture of lead and gunpowder in the following proportions, viz : four tcaspoonsful of gunbowder of best quality and one ounce of lead. The latter, tor tho purpose of having it in a more convenient form to take, should be made into the form of a bolus. The following directions shoald be mictly adhered to for the purpose of injuring a certain cure Put tho powder into a pistol, tho barrel of which should be adcut lr.ilr t'ucha long, and tha bore of suiiicient size to iust admit the bolus without a patch. Then drop ia tho bolus, ram it well home. Cap the pistol. Take olF your coat aad vest, cut a sht in your shirt about two inches long, just below the left nipple! After cocking tho pistol, place the muzzle directly against the cuticle about in tho center of the slit made in the under garment ; then carefully placing the forefinger of the right hand on a small piece of iron usually to be found under the barrel of the pistol, give a sudden pull! This, our fiiend ays, he is convinced is the only svrt cure for this d d disease ! Tho euro may be certain, but we think it worse than the disease, and we aro opposed to taking broken doses.
