The Hou. Tuomas E. Powss. Speaker of the Vermon Legislature, was here introduced. He would not, be said, attempt to portray the evils of intemperance. The question was, how to get 1id of the evils of this system, not todebate about it. (Applause.) It is the strong arm of the law thatis to solve this question. The grest opponents of the movement are avarice andi law—remove Fi + and the reform is effected But temperance people themselves have done much to impede the pro- gress of this movement. Some ot them have endeavored do pass partial laws, whereas we taust go to the root of the evil, and stop it altogether. But have wo,the power to do so? Tho apeaker here quoted authorities to show we had. He thought the first thing to be done was to pass as stern a law as possible, no matter how terrific the resuite. In those States that have passed this law, “old soakers”’ are ashamed to indulge in the ardent, 3 He thought the law ought to be as elfvctual as possibl | for you cannot, said he, get mea to appenc as witnesses against those ‘who drink liquor. The speaker here bersted the veto message of Seymour, and didn’t think after all, it amounted to much. He argued that the taw was eifectua!l in those States where it was ed, for he had known men to walk 15 miles in order to procure liquor, out of the limits of the State. The Kev. Hexy Wako Bencugr was the next 5) er. He thought that nobody could doubt that intemperance was a great evil; it was like the milk fever in the West— it was known to exist, yet none thought it was in their neighborhood. It will'not do to shake the axe at the tree of evil—we must strike at the root. ‘To speak to the moral conscience of a man whose very occupation pre- tor tho law in the State | whioh we aze based, and which we have long labored t» pro- | in bhis warfare with tho tragic in iutoxisating drinks wita | of the Union, read the | f.

The gist of the urgument, however, was to- show that New York was a greater State in point of num- bers, wealth and commerce, than Virginia. He then touched uy the Gadsden treaty, and the Nebraska bill, in an exceedingly discursive manner, and branched off to the acquisition of Cuba.

Here is the foundation of a great nation—-not a nation, but a commonwealth, with also difiereuces enough in blood to make a new race of men, and much better then the present Anglo-Saxon. ‘The Eostern and Western sections of the country are the finest portions of it.

The army gives one soldier to e twenty-four thousand inbabitants. The nation the wealthiest, next to England.

Mr. Parker read from the Kichmond Enquirer, to prove that the leading ides of the South was in accordance with the above state- | ment. In spite of law slavery has gone to California, and in the State in whose capital twelve hundred murders have been committed in one year, slavery has been very property legalived for a short time preparatory to its final cstablishisent. Senator Foote, whose brother ts asiave, threatened to hang Joun P. Hale on the highest pine in Alabama, because he was the only man that dared to be true to freedom. There is not one spot of free roll, from Nootha Sound to Key West. In no part of the country is there freedom, except the five thousand acres that Daniel Webster surrendered to Ashburton in 1842. (Lisses and applause.) The Vresident should be sworn upon a negro's back; he should be sworn to pro- tect no laws but fugitive slave laws—no property but slaves. The Supreme Court fs a slave court—the Senate is a ve Fenate—the Senators are overseers. Mr. Dougias is a great overseer, aud Mr. Everett is a little overseer. (Laughter and applause.)

And, though Ameri- ca claimed to be on educational country, yet, through- out one-half of the land, it was forbidden to teact those oppressed children of toil the three letters that spell God. Though we translated the Bible into one hundred and forty languages, and sent missionaries to every port of the world, the only ralsaionary that approached the slave is the oversect with his whip, in place cf a Bible. ‘The Scandinavian, the German, the French, ant other emigrants, all hate slavery, exeept the Irish, who, as & general thing, side with the slavebolders.

Even John Q. Adams, as President, did jug against slavery, though in hie latter days he made ample amends for his acts of omission.

THE OPPOSITION TO THE NEBRASKA BILT—CONDUCT OF SENATOR SUMNER—ABSURD CHARGES AGAINST SPEAREM BOYD, ETC. Wasimyoton, May 12, 1 No prospect of un adjournment—the opponents of the | Nebraska bill declaring their intention to keep up their faetious opponitic d the majority, of course, remain- ing frm. Itis diffeult to understand the sense of the oppotition txetics. Although the Pacific Railroad bill is the special order for Tuesday, it cannot come up unless the House agreeto go into commitice. At present the pending motion is to stop debate upon the Nebraska bill, and the previous question has been sustained thereon, No motion to go into committee ix in order tiM that mo tion is disposed of ; so that Mr. Richardson’ motion must be decided, if it takes till doomsday. Mr. Sumner, the abolition Senator, has been busily engaged in organizing opporition to the will of the majority. He urgos mem- bers to follow the sivice of the Zribune, and, if necessary, burn the Capitol. Under his auspices, the opponents of the bill have organized themselves into a Ietter-writing corps, and hundreds of letters have been sent off to the country, recommending that meetings be called to sus- tain the conduct of the minority, and to denoance Speak- Boy on the charge of unfairness, &e. Now, it is no- torious here that, so far from Mr. Boyd acting iibermly to the opponents of the Dill, lse has gone even too far the other way. No man has been founda to charge the speaker with unfairness on the floor; but the charge is to be sneakingly made against him in the way we have indicated. It is probable the House will not adjourn until some time to-morrow morning, when dir. Richardson will move an adjournment, It is known that the Speaker will of course decide on Tuesday, should matters remain in their present position, that even a motion to go into Commit. tee of the Whole ix out of order. The motion now pend- ing to fixan hour to stop debate on the Nebraska bill in committee takes precedence of a motion to go into com- mittee, Hence, when Tuesday arrives, the factions op- position will be no nearer forcing the majority to aban. don the Nebraska bill than they now are, But by allow- ing the minority to continue their pranks aJittle longer, it will all the more ciearly demonstrate the entirely fuc- tious nature of the opposition. ‘The opposition require, in order to call the yeas and naya, but thirty-five to be present; and they have there- fore arranged soas to let half their number stay away; G0 bome and rest, and, after a few hours, relieve the thirty-five om duty. In this way they have an advantage over the friends of the bill, whohave all to be present, for fear that if they are absent the opposition may take advantage of the circumstance, and vote an adjournment, or vote down the reslution stopping debate. The ma- Jority, therefore, fight at a disadvange; but the justice of their position supplies them with the necessary energy to remain at their posts, while their opponents are by platoons enabled to go home. The majority are determined to enforce their corsti- tutional rights, if it ehould be necessary to hold on till the 4th of March, The responsibility of delaying the public business rests upon the factious minority Seuator McMurray is here, urging on the Nebraska il.
