Both Houres of the Missouri Legislature yesterday pasced the following resolutions un- der a suspension of the rules: “Resolved, That the conflict which has ex- isted for the last four or five years between loyalty and disloyalty is still pending, and the safety of the nation demands that the Govern- ment shall be retained in loyal hands. Resolved, That in the thirty Senators who voted to sustain the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, vetoed by the President, and in the Union ma- jority of the House of Representatives who sup- port the same and kindred measures, we recog- nize true and wortby representatives of prin- ciples wBich saved he country in the late re- bellion,and we tender such representatives the hearty support and sympathy of ourselyes and our constituents.” The resolutions passed the House by a vote 77 to 25, and the Senate by a vote of 21 to 5. Both houses then adjourned in commemora- tion of Washington’s birth-day. Speeches were made by Lieut. Governor Smith and several members. The Legislature is taking strong grounds against the President's veto. The subject ofthe Precident’s veto and his speech of Thursday excited considerabie attenti@ “in Baltimore. In the City Council yesterday afternoon, a resolution endorsing the veto message was laid on the table. A call has been made for a meeting to endorse the President. The New York jury in the case of John Cahill tor the murder of Polfeeman Duryea returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. Judge Russell sentenced the prisoner at once to imprisonment at Sing Sing for life. od ———— - we MR. SEWARD'S SPEECH. Subjoined we give some of the important points of Secretary Seward’s admirable speech, not fully reported in the telegrams from New York: There was, he said, a difference of opinion that reveals itself but too clearly between the ex- ecutive administration of the President and the legislative councillors of the nation The President as we allsee, is a man of decided convictions; the legislative leaders if we may judge from their resolutions, are trying to de- cide, not to coincide, with himin opinion. They have appealed to us, outsidersas we are, to pronounce between them. Mr. Seward proceeded with a happy illus- tration of the situation derived from the play ot the “Nervous Man and the Man ot Nerve.” The marriage they had secrectly planned be- tween their children had been effected clandes- eenart 4 by the latter through a runaway match, butthe neryous man was inconsolable since, though having his own way he had not bis own way of having it. “Both have got the Union restored as they originally planned it should be. They have got it restored, not with slavery, but without it; not with secession, flagrant or latent, but without it; not with compensation for emanci- pation, but without it; not with compromise, but without it; not with disloyal States or rep- resentatives, but with loyal ‘Ss and repre- sentatives; not with rebel debts, but without them; not with exemption from our own debts for suppressing the rebellion, but with equal liabilities upon the rebels and the loyal men; not with freedmen and refugees abandoned to suffering and persecution, but with the treed- men employed in productive, self-sustaining industry, with refugees under the protection of law and order. The man of nerve sees that it has come out right at last, and he accepts the situation, He does not forget that in this troublous world of ours the most to be secured by anybody 1s to haye things come ont right. Nobody can ever expect to have them brought out altogether in his own way. The nervous men, on the other hand, hesitate, delay, debate and agonize—not because it has not come out right, but because they have not individually had their own way in bringing it to that happy termination.” “There never was and never can be any suc- cessful process for the restoration of union and harmony among the States, except the one with which the President has avowed himeelf eatistied. Grant it that the rebellion is dispersed, ended and exhansted—dead even at the root—then 1t follows necessarily that the States sooner or later must be organized by Joyal men in accordance with the change in our fundamental law, and that, being so or- ganized, they should come by loyal representa- lives and resume the places in the family circle which, ina fitof caprice and passion, they re- belliously vacated. All the rebel States but Texas have done just that thing, and Texas is doing the same thing just now as fast as pos- tible. The President isin harmony with all the States that were in rebellion. Every exec. utive department and the judicial department are in operation, or are rapidly resuming the exercise of their functions. Loyal representa. tives, more or less, from these States—men whose loyalty may be tried by any constitu- tional or legislative test which wili apply even to representatives of the States which have been loyal throughout—are now standing at the doors of Congress, and have been standing there for three months past, asking to be ad. mitted to seats which disloyal representatives, in violence of the rights and duties of the States, as well asthe sovereignty of the Union, had recklessly abandoned. These representatives, after a lapse of three months, yet remain wait- ing outside the chamber, while Congress passes law after law, imposes burden after burden and duty after duty upon the States which, thus against their earnestly expressed desires, are left without representation. So far asI canjjudge of human probabilities, 1 feel sure that loyal men from these now loyal States will, sooner or later, at this session or at some other, by this Congress or some other, be re- ceived into the legislature of the nation. When this shall have been done, the process ot res- toration will be complete; for that is all that now remains to be done.” Allother plans and prospeets Mr. Seward declared to be not for reconstruction, but for obstruction. No State had ever been or ever can be kept out of the Union, by joint resolu- tions or any other means, he said. ‘The Ameri- can people bad abolished slavery. “Do I think, therefore, that we shall lack the wWiedom or the virtue to go right on and con- tinue the work of melioration and progress, and perfect in due time the deliverance of labor from restrictions, and the annihilation of castand class! We have accomplished what we have done, however, not with an imperial government—not with a proconsular or terri- tonalsystem. We have done it in States, by States and through States, free, equal, un- trammelled, and presided over by a Federal, restricted Government, which will continue to the end the constitutional principles with which we so wisely began.” “I baye not given prominence in these re- marks to the conflict of opinion between the President and Congress in reference to the Bu- reau for the relief ot Freedmen and Refugees. That conflict 1s, in its consequences, com! tuyely unimportant, and would excite little in- terest and produce little division if it stood alone. It is because it has become the occa- sion for revealing the differences that I have already described that it has attained the im- riance which seems to surround it. Both the ident and Congress agree that, during the brief transition which the country is making from civil war to eternal peace, the freedmen and refugees ought not to be aban- doned by the nation to persecution and snuffer- ing. It was for this transition period that the Bureau of Freedmen was created by Congress, and was kept, and is still kept, in effective op- eration. Both the President and on the other hand, agree that when that transition ite shall have been fully passed, and the ‘onious relations between the States and Union fully restored, that bureau would be not only unnecessary but unconstitutional, demor- alizing and dangerous, and therefore that it should cease to exist. The President thinks that the transition si has nearly passed, and that the original provision for the a is all that is mgs pent Ad secure the end in view, while the bill sul ry seems to him to give it indefinite exten: in time of peace and resteration. He vetoed it for that reason. He declines to accept, as uni and uncalled for, the thousand or ten thousani agents. the in, powersand the augmented treasure which Congress insists on placing in his hands, on the other hand, thinks that the Freedmen’s Bureau 1s not adequate, and that more patronage, more an more power would, like Thom pint purchased at os t & good tohaye ina house. I agree with the President in the hope that the extra- eens of Provision which the bill makes will not be nie ns door- the rebellion has been coming and is still com- ing to an end, but is not yet fully closed. It is on this ground that he maintains an army, continues the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and exercises martial law, when these things are found to be necessary in rebel States. The existence of the rebellion was legally an- nounced by Executive proclamatien in 1861. The end of the rebellion ought to be, and may be expected to be, announced by competent declaration of the President and ot Congress, orof both. For all practical purposes the re- bellion will, in law, come to an end if the President or Congress, or one or both, official- Vv Announces its termination. Now. suppose this announcement to be made by the Presi- dent and by Congress, or by either of them, to- morrow. In that case, the Freedmen’s Bureau is continued by virtue of the limitation pre- scribed in the act of March 3, 1565, one year af- ter such proclamation shall have been made. Thus the Freedmen’s Burean would continue, by the original limitation, until the 224 day of February, Is67—a very proper day on which to bring ittoanend. If Congress should then find it necessary to prolong its existence, it can atonce take the necessary steps, for it will at that = have been in ‘session nearly three months.” ++e-—____ CONGRESSIONAL. “ SENATE.—Afler our report closed yester- ay— Mr. Conness called up a bill to grant public lands to aid in the construction of a railroad from San Francisco Bay to Humboldt Bay, in California. Pending the consideration of this bill the morning hour expired, and the constitutional amendment on the spbject of representation was taken up. Mr. Nye was entitled to the floor in the reg- ular order, but gaye way to Mr. Fessenden, who moved totake up the concurrent resolution providing that no Sen- ator or Representative from a lately rebellious State shall be received in either House until that State shall have been declared by Con- gress entitled to representation. Mr. Sherman rose and said he rarely desired to differ in opinion upon a mere question of the order of business; but he thought this was 4 question that ought not to be taken up at the present time. After further debate by Messrs. Howe, Doo- little, Fessenden and others, Mr. Johnson cues for the yeas and nays, which were or- ered. Yeas—Messrs. Anthony, Brown, Chandler, Clark, Conness, Cragin, Creswell, Fessenden, Foster, Grimes, Harris, Howard, Howe, Kirk- wood, Lane of Ind., Morrill, Nye, Poland, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sumner, Trumbull, Wade, Willey, Williams and Wilson—%6.

Buckalew, Cowan, Dayis, Dixon, Doolittle, Guthrie, Hendricks, John- son, Lane of Kaneas, McDougall, Morgan, Ne- smith, Norton, Riddle, Saulsbury, Sherman, Stewart, Stockton and Van Winkle—19. So the resolution was taken up, and Mr. Fes- senden proceeded to animadyert upon the veto message. Adjourned. P Hovse.— After our report closed yester- ay— The House yoted—yeas 25 and nays 9¢—that Mr. Voorhees was not entitled to his seat, and by yeas 87 and nays 36 that Mr. Washburn is entitled to it. Several members voted that neither were en- titled to it. Mr. Stevens, ot Pa., asked leave to offer a resolution to print 20,000 copies of the address of Hon. J. A. J. Creswell on the life of Hon. Henry Winter Davis. Objection was msde. Mr. Stevens introduced a bill to secure the speedy construction of the southern branch of the Pacific railroad and telegraph. Referred to the select committee on that subject. Mr. Steyens also introduced a bill to define more particularly the tenure of civil officers. Reterred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Morrill, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill to exempt from in- ternal taxation and impost duty all material used in constructing the Gettysburg National Monument; which was passed. Mr. Ingersoll, of Lil, introduced a bill to in- corporate the National Life and Accidental Insurance Company. Adjourned, LOCAL NEWS. c—— Wm. Lloyd Garrison's Lecture. Wm. Lioyd Garrison, well known through out the country as an originat abolitionist, and opponent of the “peculiar institution” for 36 years past, during which time he edited and ublished, at Bostop. the anti-slavery paper nown as the “Liberator,” lectured last eve- ning at the Union League Rooms, on 9th street, to an audience of two or three hundred Jadies and gentlemen. There were a few colored peo- ple present. There is nothing of the enthusi- est about this pioneer of the anti-slavery move- ment. He is a practical looking personage, rather clerical in his manners and dress, past middle age, with a spare but lithe frame, a bald head, keen eyes, and benevolent expres. sion. His subject was “Liberty Victorious,” and he commenced by a review of the past, showing the progress Tande by the country towards uni- versal treedom. hile rejoicing at the sup- pression of the rebellion in the South, and the abolition of slavery ; the North onght to re- member with shame and humiliation her com- plicity in the cause of slavery for over seventy years.

Where are now the boasters, the the cayaliers? 1s one Southerner still equal to six, eight, or ten Yankees? Do the stars and bars float over our Capitol, or the glorious stars and stripes ? What has become of the impregnable holds which were never to fall before the assaults of the mudsilis of the North! How about King Cotton? Who (succeeded; the Wnion-splitter or the rail-s litter ? Where, oh! where, is the m bas! ‘erioso 0! irginia — Henry Wise? and what has become of the boastful Georgian who was to dictate terms to the North from Bunker Hill? Hark! trom the Toombs. The South reaped as she sowed. The North, as her former guilty accomplice, also Teceived her retribution.

The sublimest and most far-reaching event of modern times, he said, was the ad by les was here il- David and Goliah, ‘fourths of the States of the Constitutional Amendment, forever slavery throughout the le: and ith of our country. As an itionist he was fully vin- dicated at cea e rans wn rent Mannonat wecdict. It was the national of the trath of rte ak dectrines. iy on this oecasion he should proceed to speak in a jubilant strain, it would not be in forget- fulness of what remains to be done for the ele- vation of the freedmen. He knew the condi- tion of the country now far betterthan when he threw down his gauntlet te the slave power ago, and in the name of the victorious again and again. in enumerating the lynchings, slave bunt- ing, &e., which seemed to be successes of the South, allusion was made to the assault on Senator Sumner, who was characterized asthe “American Wilbeforce.” (Great applause.)

[No ap- a Moreover, having been unexpected~ '¥ called, like his lamented predecessor, to as- sume the most tremendous responsibilities,and to fill the most trying station ever yet occupied by any ruler or magistrate, I cheerfully admit that it becomes him to move with great cir- cumspection in the diseharge of his official du- ties. He has his own line of policy, which he adheres to with great tenacity; but until re- cently 1 have not believed that would ven- ture to inflexibly array himeelf against ¢ gress, and against the clear expression of ——_ will, as he is now defiantly doit ad better not do it, for he will the ‘loser Enough that, however by the encounter. patriotic be may be, his plan sincere or of reconstruction causes great disquietode and alarm among the loyal masses, and that it receives the warm approval of all the Sonthern rebels on one hand, and all the Northern Copperheads on the other. As a sagacious man, what further evidence can he need, in his sober senses, that heis unforta- nately on the wrong track, and, therefore, should patriotically retrace his steps? Bat, if he insists on going ahead in that disastrous direction, then I trust Congress will stand Lke an impregnable wall to prevent his doing so, come what may. Nay, more—I wouid have that body wipe out from the slate all that he bas done im the matter of reconstraction, and begin the work anew, as alone constitutionally empowered to inangurate and perfect it from the foundation to the top stone. With all the deference to his exalted position, I deny the right of Presideut Johnson, under the war power, or any other power entrusted to him, to do anything more in rebeldom than to hold it with a firm military grasp until Congress shall determine when, how, and where elec- tions shall be held, who shall be allowed to vote, and what shall be the necessary condi- tions precedent to the readmission to the Union ef the late self-styled Confederate States. Those States are still treasonabie in spirit and purpose, and lack eggs | but the power to induce them to 4 the bloody game of seces- sion over again. They do not know—they nev- er have known—what it is to be loyal or truly American. Hence they are in no sense qualified to have the reins of governmentin their own hands, but must be held under guardianship for an indefinite peried, untilf tree institutions are firmly rooted in their soil. [Applause.} On this point President Johnson takes issue with Congress, and with the loyal le of the country, upon whose sanction and support Congress may rely with absolute certainty. He insists that those conquered but still trea- sonably disposed States are in the Union as of old, and, therefore, entitled to be immediately represented in both Houses of Congress; and he sdrcrrnendig bec —— ae eee as notonly con- tumaciour, but guilty o! potic usa! 2, in refusing theif admission srithoat additional safeguards as to their Joyalty. Yet he has net announced by proclamatiopeither that the war is ended or that peace is restored; but continues to hold those States in subjection to his will as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, under the war power—suspending even to this hour the writ of habeas corpus; and thus con- demns himeelf out of his own mouth, and fally vindicates the action ot Congress—a Congress which, in the scere of mtelligence, ability, moral worth, exalted patriotism, reverence for justice, and love for imparual liberty, has never been equalled since the formation of the Government. The usurpation is on his own partin attempting to bully Congress into a ser- vile acquiescence to his demands; for it is the constitutional prerogative of that body alone to decide when and how States may be admitted into the Union; and it will not surrender that prerogative at the bidding of an accidental oc- cupant ot the Presidential chair, even though all the powers of bell raily to his support. [Great applause.) For whatever of violence, or tumult, or di- vision, or disaster, may grow out of this high- handed procedure, the di responsibility will rest exclusively upon his own head, and be will be held to a strict accountability by an indignant and betrayed nation. In putting his veto to the bill enlarging the means and usefulness of that beneficent, chris- tan, and truly patriotic department, the Freed- men’s Bureau, he has, indeed, exercised aright accorded to him by the Constitution; but the animus which prevades that veto, the sophis- try which characterizes it. and the unjust al- legations contained in it, will be perceived and ondered by the overwhelming mass of the umane, loyal, patriotic christian men and women of the land, who, in return, will put an effectual veto upon him and his pretensions to the end of his earthly career. if there is any disregard of the Constitution; any disunionism in spirit and design; any wish to pervert and overturn our free Government, it is not on the part of those who are execrated. and abhorred for their unswerving loyalty by the Southern rebels and their Northern sym- pathizers, but on his part who is now receiving the plaudits of those rebels and sympathizers univereally. At the conclusion of the address, loud calls were made for “Forney,” but the statement was made that he was at present in Philadelphia. aenpaeee U.S. Supreme Covrt, Feb. 23.—Henry R.
