In few words, this change is it of the now generally-understood deter- of the American party to terminate the favor of almost any conservative mem- ber, by way of keeping every Helperite out of the Speakership in the present condition of the coun- try. ‘This will throw the respousibility (when they next ballot again) for the longer continuance of the exciting state of affairs upon the Anti-Le- comptonites who so far have neither taken service under the Republican-party banner, nor resumed their former relations with the Democratic party. propos: The present varied political positions occupied by those who a year or two since com- posed the Anti-Lecompton party, illustrate forci- bly the inevitable tendency of such political ‘in- dependence” as theirs was. One-third of them have followed the leader under whom they orig- inally went off to the enemy, back into the Dem- eeratic party organization. Ancther third yet stind in hostile array to the Democratic party, yet not identified with the Republican party op- position; while the other third are at this mo- ment the bitterest and most active members of min, contest the Demoeratic party, wielding their tomahawks most ferociously. perhaps, against those who hav- ing gone up to the very line of complete separa- tion from the Democratic party, on second thought refused to proceed further, and returned to their former political allegiance. The present state, of the House is but one of the consequences of the Anti-Lecompton bolt, while the disasters now so swiftly overtaking business interests at the North, are but another such consequence. - - Tur Lever, Last \iGht —Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the weather last night, the usual large assemblage of people from the city and country congregaied at the Executive Man- sion to pay their respects to President Buchanan and his accomplished niece, and in return receive tueir cordial congratulations.

He gaid that was a step in the right direction, but he feared that the disease lay too deep to «dinit of a remedy. Since the war of the revolution, which resulted in the inde lence of this country, we have had many great questions which have agi- tated men's ininds and upon which the people were divided. When celered tothe great con- stitutional arbiter—the bellot box—they passed awry, and society felt secure. But now all this is changed. Hitherto, the success of one Party or the other brought no public danger. We have now, however, arrived at a period cf our history wien it is known here and felt throughout the land that the success of what is called the republican party brings us face to face with revolution. We are now virtually ina state of civil war. It is felt upon this floor that a large body of men in these confederate States are enemies to our country. He knew that they were every day committing acts which in all civilized communities are just cnuses of war. There has been no time in its history when the Federal ernment bas been truer to its mission, when it has been more faithful to the Constituti than within the last seven years. It is because it is faithful to the Constitution that it is denonnced by the coalition in this country seeking to get control of it. This is an organiza- tion that has been gathering force and Strength for twenty years, whose sole governing principle {s hatred and hostility to the people tod the inati- tutions of fifteen States of this Union, and who have shown asa combination and as dividuals and dec- Lin spite and snh- ates.

Mr. Mallory asked if the Senator was in favor of carrying out the fugitive-slave law? Mr. Foster. I am, to the utmost extent of its constitutionality. Mr. Mallory replied that that was just such an answer as he expected to vet to that cuestion. Mr. Benjimin read the sections of the law of Connecticut, and showed wherein they were in- tended to preclude the master from reclaiming his fugitive slaves, by requiring such evidence as he would not be likely to possess. On motion of Mr. Brown, the subject was post- poned until to-day, and his resolutions in regard to the rights of property in the ‘Territories also made the special order for balf-past one o’clock, to-day.

Thus th Govermnent lad agreed u Hi republican party were guilty of nothing but cou- curring in the Views they bad atirmed. It wos shown, then, that the men who formed the Con- stitution acted upon that power of Congress if. it the Constitution; that the legislative branch of Government le: ted apon it down to and that the Federal Judiciary so decided cerning the legal relations of persons down to 1-53. nd it was not till 1854 that that power was first removed by the Democratic party In IS54 the democracy departed from the compro- mise of 1550, with which he for ene was very well satistied. Mr. Corwin preceeded to show that the det cratic party had cbanged front on this sla question. “They had “wandered away into tin worship of all sorts of diabolical divinities, in which he had no sert of contidence.

For himself, he would say that if they had acquired territory, or were likely to acquire it, where the white man could not perform Jabor, be would with great pleasure vote for its protection.
