large portion of the people whose common blood and treasure Inpve purchased such Territory? The bill in question does not propose to legislate slavery into a Ter- ritory, nor to exelude it therefrom; but ninaty leaves it to the people of the Territory to act on this subject as they may see fit. This, to my mind, is not only right, butin strict accordance with sound democratic faith. From the excitement betrayed in various quarters, one not acquainted with the subject would naturally sup- pose that Congress was actually about to legislate slavery into Nebraska and Kansas. It neither proposes to do 80, nor could it, if it would. Slavery will nowhere be in- troduced from the mere love of holding men in servitude. It will only be carried into regions where slave labor is sure to be profitable. The laws of nature are more pow- erful on this subject than any human enactments. Tho soil, climate, and natural productions of the Territories in question, effectually prohibit the planting and growth of slavery there; and if Congress shall continue wise enough to adhere to the policy of leaving the whole sub- ject of slavery to where it legitimately belongs—the peo- ple of the States and Territories—we shall not only avoid the excitements which have, betimes, been almost fatal to our blessed Union, but another result would be sure to follow, which should reconcile Northern men to this doctrine of non-intervention. The greater enterprise and population of the Northern and Western States will not only enable them to main tain their own ground under the practical working of this principle, but to push the line which separates slave from free territory gradually below the latitude which the present Northern agitators hold to be the true one. It strikes me, therefore, that those who so vio- | question are | lently oppose the principle of ‘the bill in raising & storm about a mere abstraction—against a ‘let alone principle,” the effect of which is more likely to circumscribe than extend the area of slavery.

R.—Why, the public would charge me with in- sincerity—with hypocrisy in my professions of support of this measure—it I stayed away from this hall to-night, when it is known that I supported the principles of the bill before I held office. The administration, as far as I know and believe, are honestly in favor of sustaining this measure. (Applause.) I am not to loreed by any political clique of demagogues or huckstering poli- ticians, because I will not subserve their purposes, or administer to the vanity of this man or the petty ambition of another man.

I atand here to-night as an independent democrat, coming here from a sense of my duty to the democratic party and to the country. I come hire to sustain this bill, because in my judgment it contains the fundamental principles of the democratic party; and it is the basis on which all republican govern. ments are founded, viz:—The right of the people to self- government—the right and the capacity of the people to govern themselves—to make all laws relattng to their own domestic institutions, their welfare and their happiness, in the Territories as well as in the States. iood—good.’?) Js » man to be deprived of his inherent rights as a man, because he lives in a Territory of the United States? Are not his rights as dear to there as they are here in the State of New York? (‘‘Yes—yes.’’) 1 will not at- tempt toadd any force to the sound arguments which have been made on this subject by the most learned, able, competent and experienced men in this country. The whole matter, stripped of its verbiage, of its special pleading, of its mys- tification, resolves itself into this simple pro- position, viz:—Are the people to govern themselves in all matters appertaining to their own interests, always keep- ing within the limits of the constitution? Is that the voice of Tammany Hall to-night ? Loud cries of “Aye, aye.”” (Great cheering.) Gaptain R.—So it is, and who will gainsay it? That has been the theory of the democratic party; and it hi been the principle upon which this republic was based as lean remember anything. It has been preached in tie meetings, in all democratic assemblages, in all the conventions, and now shall the democratic party recede from their original principles ¥ ‘A great many voices—No sir, never. Captain R.—This is the very principle on which our fore- fathers fought in the Revolution inst the mother coun- try. They suid that the colonies had no right to enact laws for themselves—that the centralized power in Eng- land was the power to which they must submit—that we had no rights except such as were granted to us by | “his Majesty, the King of England.”” (Laughter, Ben, cheers.) & Voror—Go toh—il.

When ixeouri applied for admission into the Union it was de nied her, though she had a constitutional right to be ad- mitted. ' She was denied admission because the people of the North had the majority against her, and they over roce the constitution, and said she should not be a- mitted. The friends of Missouri, in order to obtain her edmission, submitted to the proposition, afterwards called the Missouri compromise, to the effect that there rhould be no slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min. Now, when #8 assuined that they had the right to pro- hibit slavery north of that line, did they not by the same act acknowledge and legalize slavery below that line? these positions wrong; they cannot legalize slavery in any Territory above or telow any geographical live that might be drawn in this country. Suppose Congress were to say to New York, ‘ we establish slavery in your territory,” what would be the effect of that when it was announced in the Hexatp? Why, the people of the North would rise en masse against it. They would say,‘ show as your authority, Mr. Congress, for this.’ (Laughter.) ‘A Vorcx—Ix not New York bought up at present?

Tet me inform you of one fact mbout the matter. There are many braggadocios jn the South as well as here; but I have yet to learn that there is less manliness and courage and good faith at the fouth than elsewhere. Icare no more for # Southern xoan, than I do for a Northern man. Though the Southern nu way be a fiooater and the Northern man an abolition- ic party at this | | to claim that in this instance national rights or divine oth | ivt, I care no more about the ire of either than breath of wind that comes from we know not whence, and goes we know not whither.’’ I want to say something’ a matter I heard »; of in the the other night. I went up there as other citizens my have done, from curiosity, to hear what the whigs and abolitionists there assembled, might say. One man up andinan argument of an hour anda half, attempted to prove that the people of the South violated with the North with regard to the com| .

(Immense laughter.) ‘Oh! that would not be a fair bargain in the frst ” said he, “Neither was your Missouri bargain fair bargain,” I replied.” (Loud cheers.) Captain R. then touched upon the a made for the admission of Texas, and the negotiations appertaining to them, and argu Caeseteome to6h 2 Was not the, poet of the South who violated their faith, but that the pertoy lay with us of the North.

(Applause.) Let us look at the elements that are cor bined against this bill. In Boston and other States, the ism, the Hartford conven- tare arrayed against it, ey, in league with the British government, have always been agitating our country. They hope by this means to weaken the bonds that exist befyens ho people of the United States. They want to raise sectio ues geogra- phical distinctions.

In New Y¥« we fina whigs, teward men, abolitionists, strong-minded women, (laughter,) old grannies sping the abilities of men, and all the appurtenances thereto belonging. These are the parties—all associated together—who call them- selves ‘the people of New York !’’ Add thereto a small sjrinkling of dilapidated politicians, who, in other days, belonged to the public. I understand that Barnum is going to hire some of them, ai imens of a by-gone time ; and I have no doubt he make a8 much money by them as he did by Joyce Heath. (Laughter.)

Old Tammany stands here to-night in a blaze of demo- cratic glory. (Applause.) She stands here this night with the staunch democracy here, firm and resolute in her ancient democratic integrity: from that she has never departed. Individuals may have gone astray; they may have committed errors; but the mass of the de- moeracy in Tammany Hall have always stood strictly up to the constitution, giving always adherence to demo- cratic truths, and showing their faithful devotion to the constitution and the Union. I rogret that Mr. Cochrane did not come here to «peak this evening. I think it was wrong in him. I think the people would have sustained him here to-night, in speaking on this bill. (A Voico— Certainly.) “But instead of that, he has sent a letter ere. Loup Cries of—Letter—Letter—Cochrane—Cochrane. Cartan R.—Will you have Mr. Cochrane, gentlemen ?

Mr. J. Cocuraxk (from a far corner of the hall)—I pe- remptorily decline. Cartan R.—I understand he has written a letter—is it your wish I should read it? (‘‘Yes—the letter.””) Well then, I will conclude my remarks by reading some por- tions of his letter. ‘The letter was then read in part, and at the conclusion several cheers were given for Cochrane.

Mr. Lorznzo Sugrarp then came forward after being oudly called for, but_waived speuking for the present, end introduced 'Hon Mr. McMurray, who was received with great applause, Hon. Ws. MOMURRAY said -— The studicd and ystematic efforts which have been made to inisrepresent the principle of the bills for the | crganization of the governments of Nebraska and Kansas, ut more especially the hypocritical scheme concocted by demagogues to array by false representations the niors] and religious sentiment of the public against thi measure, than which a fairer or u juster Was never broxched, render it necessery that the friends of the bills should not only be determined in action, but that they shoul! aycak with courage and boldness. The Caar 8, in his cut-throat war of territorial robbery his feeble neighbor, calls it a crusade of religion, and appeals to his clergy to awaken the religious senti- ments of his subjects. The demagogues who op) this measure, with like effrontery appeal to the religious sentiment of the community to aid them in their unholy Narfare. A ‘body of clergymen in New England, in a blasphemous petition presented to the Senate, in which they assume to speak in the name of the Almighty, have denounced this measure as amoral wrong, asa breach of faith, and as exposing those who favor it to the righteous judgments of the Almighty. It isthe first time in ¢ ‘istory of our governwent that any ecclesiastical pow has menaced. and anathematized the representatives of the people. It isan augury of ill both to the church and the State—to the cause of religion and liberty. The interference of the church with the affairs of State is an evil than which a free people have no greater to deprecate. Ambition—de- sire for conquest—lust for pluder—love or hate, have in- flicted upon the world fewer enormities, less ‘of chains and slavery, than this same rrogant inption of power over the political institutions of times past. I look upon this ill-advised act with regret, for I entertain for this class of our citizens, in the sphere of their duties, the highest respect and reverence. In this matter I’ feel bound to say they have committed a flagrant wrong. They have been guilty of » blasphemous assumption of yower; they have placed their signatures to palpable un- truths, and wickedly and indecently, charged a large por- tion of our fellow citizens, as honest and sincere as them- selves, not only with errors but with crimes. They have Gone ‘that for which they have no law, and which they cam neither as gentlemen or Christians excuse. ‘The aystem of negro slavery as it exists in the Southern Biates hias been, by a considerable clase of well-meanin, but too enthusiastic devotees to the one idea, denounce as “a high-handed robbery of man’s natural rights, and asin against the laws of God.” This error lies at the foundation of the political delusions of theday. Nomat- ter under what form of social organized government man may live, he neither possesses nor enjoys, separate from the social organization, any natural rights. Keen the enjoyment of life is held subject to its forfeiture to the laws, Aman may possess natural advantages; but under any form of government, even the most republican and democratic, he holds every right subject to the social organization. In despotic governments the surrender is | entire—in representative constitutional governments it is defined, but still limited. Nature demands sleep—yet the vagrant ix put into the Tombs for sleeping in the pub- lic park or the market stall, when he has no house to thelter him. Nature demands food—the poor wretch who crawls from his cellar, maddened by starvation, is sent to prison for stealing # morsel of food. Nature de- mands drink—Maine liquor laws assume to prescribe what h shall drink, and punish him if he abct drinking aught Slavery has existed in every age of the worli—in every state of society—under the ‘patriarchal, monarehi- cal, republican, and every other form. It existed under the laws of Moses and the Prophets—at the advent of Christ pnd the time of the Apostles. It ix a delusion, therefore, law exercige any mandatory power. It is solely a ques- nof social arrangement. But whether slavery be a crime or not, the present generation is not, nor is our country responsible for it. Our duty, however, in rezafd | to this painful subject, must be regulated by the nature of existing circumstances and by solemn constitutional | compacts. The integrity of our confederacy—the preser- | vgtion of cur free institutions, whose example is to light | the path of other nations struggling for the enjoyment of | representative institutions, for like liberty of thought, | conscience, and action, is of infinitely more importance | to the world and future generations than the serfdom of a race whose ancesters were rescued from the most de graded and beastly heathenism, where they were t prey toeach other's rapine and butchery, and who m themselves—though nw in a state of slavery—are in a | better condition, morally and socially, by far, than if | the slaver had never stolen away their ancestors from the benighted region in which their forefathers’ lot was cast. When the history of Africa’s regeneration shall by the future historian be written, the story of the slaver and slaveship will be recorded, not as a curse, but asan event overruled to become @ blessed visitation. No negrocs ever Were born, and none now exist on the face ot the the globe, as comfortable, as happy and as well-condi- | tioned, take them as» class, as the Southern slaves. A} narration of human suffering and destitution, endured by white men, (and free anen, too!) living, starving, groaning, anc dying, almost within hearing of the abolition orations — of the Tabernacle, such as the History of the Five Points | Mission, contains more food for real sympathy and benevo- Jenee than a thousand Uncle Tom's Cabtn romances. The ordinance of 1787 was an error in principle, and proved abortive in its application; the resolution called the Mis- souri compromise was not only an error in pri a shallow artifice—and so regarded at the time—by which certain Congrestmen hoped to allay a tempest they them- selves had raised and could not control, and which thre: ened to swamp—as it did—most of them. The compro- mise of 1850—so called—was no compromise at all, but simply the of several independent bills, each upon its own merits, relating to diflerent subjects, and ropealable, like any other bills, at the will of the people. There is but one power to determine and to regulate this subject, and that power is the willof the pre le.

THE RESTELL CASE—MISS GRANT SUPPOSED TO BE DROWNED. ‘A rumor was current yesterday ‘that the dead body of a female, bearing the description of Miss Cordelia A. Grant, the principal witness against Mr. Shackford and Madame Restell in the abortion case, was found floating in the East river, on the Brooklyn side. Several persons acquainted with her identity itened to Brooklyn to ascertain further iculars, and up toa late hour last night we had not advised as to the fact. ‘Tux Croups or Dust.—Which is the more disagreeable, mud or dust? Our citizens are now quite competent to decide, for they have experienced both to the fullest ex- tent. For the last three months they have been floun- dering fat mud, and now they are envel oped in clouds of lust. The simoon of Broad most as disagreeable and as fearful to those ote cone within its sweep as that of the Great Desert of Africa. Any one who dared to yenture out of doors yesterday into any of our principal wed enormous quantities of dirt and betes moh swallo' dust, which, when taken internally, has certainly no healthy effect upon the human system. In muddy timea one can lect himself with and a change of clothing in case of being bespattered with slush. But in shese dusty times one goes home with a complete coating of dust in his clothes, and quantities of it in bis ears, nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. Of the mud or dust, the former is decidedly the evil. Let Mr. Inspector Downing sprinkle iway, or perhaps our citizens may pray for a return of the muddy season. EnuGRayt VE AND LOYMENT Socrery.—The adjourned meeting of this society took place over the Broadway Bank, yesterday. Mortimer DeMotte y: was appointed Chairman, and J. P. Litchfield, M.

Escars anp Recarrurns or a Mamiac.—On Wednesday evening Ernest Hamp, who was naked and insensible, was found on the sidewalk in Tenth street, at the corner of First avenue. He was taken to the station-house, when shortly afterwards he attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself with a nail, which he had mai to sharpen. The effusion of blood was soon stanched by a physician. It was shortly after ascertained that the poor man bad escaped from an institution in Tenth street by a jon from one of the third windows. He was claimed by some of his relatives, who reside in Houston street, and was taken back to the place from whence he had escaped. Corson ox THE East River.—On Wednesday after- noon the ferry boat City of Williamsburg accidentally tan into the schooner John J. Ronch, as she was pro- ceeding up the Fast river, and opposite Rivington street. The bowsprit of the schooner and ‘8 portion of her bows were carried away, and she was disabled. Th sustained is estimated at $500. Two of the han f the schooner were knocked overboard by the shock, but were rescued by the exertions of the Thirteenth ward police, who went to their assistance in a row boat. The ferry boat was not materially damaged. Frers.—At a late hour on Wednesday night a fire was discovered in the attic bedroom of the house corner of Nineteenth street and Tenth avenue, occupied by Martin Ryan as a dwelling. The fire was occasioned by a lighted candle coming in contact with the oe of a bed in the apartment. The flames were extingnished with a few pails of water before much damage occurred. About 8 o’clock Magan oie nd a fire broke out in the Franklin Forge Iron Works, in First avenue, near Twenty-sixth street. It was occasioned by some sparks from the furnace failing upon the roof. The flames were speedily subdued. Damage trifing.
