What is the condiion of ha pecp'e of Kaneas? Thoy went to that reautiful por- ion uf the car’h to make homes and o government for hemselves, But the unmi‘igatea scourd eis of Missouri marched ino Kansas to prevent the people from dog bat they ceeiced todo. They set up a border ruffisa overnment, and rough! to compel the people to submit ‘2 that government, one cf whose laws mases ita State prison offence to speak against rlavery. But the people ouid not obsy this government. To Lave done 60 would aye chown them to be as base as their oppressors. When they refused, an aroy was marchsd iato Kansas to ompel them t éo 50.

(Applause) Upto is time the federal administra‘ion did notaiag, although he belicved they had been all along secre'ly conniving ith these ruffians. Bat at this point chs federal govern- pent tock tve place of tse ruffians, ani its first measure 98 to repudiate the doctrine of squatter sovereignty.

But they must resist, and we must stand by them ‘Applauae.) Surely, from the light of tho past, NG pot required to have an unbounded respes! or Congress, 't 1 but S96 years since Millard Fillwore, ehameless servant of the slave power, signed the Fug!- ive Stave bill.

(Applause.) ‘anaas, which was to have been the point of trump or slavery, may yet be its grave. (Applanse.) This epeal of the Missoun compromise may raise it which will rise, and continue rise, ntil it shall weep slavery from the whole territo by of the Union. (Applause.) The imititntion of the issours lice was a grand mia‘ake. They should never have allowed liberty to enter into a bargain with siavery. hey should Lisve denied to slavery ali legal oxistence— enied not ouly that it had no righ to do, but no right jo be.

Some say there is a treaty in the con- jitution with slavery. But this he denied. Apply the non fof icgic, and you will not find ove line ia that hatrument whish s slavery. That treaty of 20 emboldened slavery. From that day, slavery haw een recognized an a power in the State—the equal of berty. It lias been, from that day, taken under the ing of the federal government and made paramount to I other powers. It is a capital mistake to say that Preni- nt Tylor was the first to recognise seg Be foreign ai- llomacy. Hecry Clay was the first to do #2. He was a nobdle X—with noble traits of character. Thee are seve finds of slaveholders, yet a slaveholder ia # slave- after all. There was en effort ones made, hen Mr. Clay was Secretary of State, to republicanise aba, Inthat effort Henry Clay said Arwerican slavery ust not be imperilied by the abolition of s avery in ba. From that day to this sla ba! o and pet of the federal goverument, OW, der its reiterated attroci'ies, we arc yet very deferen- to it. We stitl aay slavery is a law tnet we must pect. We deny that it hasa right in Kansas, but say has aright in Missouri, But he repelled this admis on as nonreosical and pernicious. It weakeas the forth and induces the South to despise us, Would that me of our statesmen of the No. th, who enjoy largely je popular favor, would declare right out that sl as no 7 If they would slavery would soon een y, North and South, are ready to destroy avery if some bold man would but begin the work.

He reoponded ia a few eloq’ enferce bis position that the pending controversy was not whether negroea should be slaves, bu. whether frre white men and women should be the ‘slaves of slavery. His reruaiks were direotly to the point, and were received with eathnsiasm. Mr. NortTHur was recog. ised and ovied out. Hoa said he came to the meeting with no pucpose of makiog @ tpeech, put ho claimed t> have given some evidence of hia xegard for the wrong‘ully enslave, Ho had hazarded hia life, his property snd his repatation for those in tonds. He had a right, therefore, to speak for the slave. He did not know what kind of a meoting this was— whether » republican, a demosratic or an American meatiog. A Voivr—It is a Kansas meeting.

He (Mr. N.} waa an American—proud of the name, (Slight applause.) He deemed the Fugitive Slave Jaw odious—more odious than any other faw upoa our etatate books, Yet he would ‘obey that law 89 long as it existed; whi's he would do all that lay ia his power to secure its repeal at the earliest possthle momen, (Appiause.) ‘hore wore other rights to be reoogaised than there of the three millions of slaves ia thik coun- try—the tights, also of the twenty-five millions of white men.

(Ap- pene) je would send to them at least a rife; and if 1 wers thereto uo it he would shoot dovn the first rufian who should dare to interfere with the liberty of ary human being, bs he black or whi'e, (Applause) This he would do whether he should vote for M-.

Bat ia sayiog this, he wirhea the U.S. Murshal to understand (and he was’ present to hear him) that be was not sufficieatly awift of foot to aid him ia overtaking a fleeiag fugitive; he was not strong enough to hold bim even thouga hs should overtake him. But he had a voice of sufficient atr to bia him, wnen pursued, t> flee where he would be free frcm the chains of slavery—to flee for his lite~and to bid bim God speed in his flight. (Appianse) Gxenit Sith immediately rose and spoke for fifteen m‘nutes ing strain of the moat impressive eloquence: to which we ever listened. ‘These remarks were iadusod by the language of the gentleman who preceded him.

Do you, Mr. Northup, believe that the seh has a tight to her child? Mr. Norratr—I do. Mr. SwrH—Then you are an abolitionis: (applause) ; for tLe moment you admit that slave has any right— even the slave mother the right to ber own shild—then you are an abolitionist ; for this right, given of (od ay & right to homanity and as an instinct to the brute, is de- nied by slavery. Under that ascursed institution, not even the mother has the right to her helpless infant. It is the property of her maste:; and ye: you, Mr. Nor thup, admitting this right, ssy you are no abolitionist ! But, sir, you are an abolitionist, when you admit this right. (Applause).

It has always appeared in Congress by the hands of the North. When the ordifance of ‘87 was adoptsd the fostitutt-n of slavery was contemptible; since then it has gatsed streogth and reapestabilily. He continued in an alo. quent manner to some length. The audience recived bis speech with marks of approbation. Mr. Dawes, of Waukesha, suggested that the matter of raisirg ‘ material aid’’ be attended to this evening, and called upon the President to head the list.

It waa now too late, he said, to amend the bil) in that respect. Mr. Conway, of Kansas, formerly of Baltimore, dented that the cause o! Kansas was comnected wii that of ey sectioval or poii isal party. From the South he denied that the sentiment there wes for slavery above every other consideration, It might be the doctrine cf the leaders of the party now in power, but nct of the people of the South genr erally. He gave an account of the Missouri iavasiva, and Ceclared that the constitution adopted by she Topaks Convention, bad been endorsed by the cilizens of tie Ter- pe age ph og ong gro wo! ‘9 with politics, though iu favor of and asterte] tha! the course ot that rozie’y did ant in the least justify the ection of the Missouri tuffiana.

MONBY MARKET. Sarurpay, March 15—6 P. M. There was more activity in the stock market to- day, and better prices were realized. There was ven an advance in Nicaragua Transit. The stock, most people supposed, had been used up. It opened t 16 per cent, and large sales were made at about tat price. The probability is that many of the trect contracts will be repudiated by the buyers. The Board of Brokers appointed a committee to-day to investigate a disputed contract. It is a question if all contracts made, both to huy and sell, since tho 19th of February, are not null and void. On that day the Nicaragua Transit Company ceased to ex- igt, It has heen from that day dofunct, aud all con- tracts to buy and sell Transit Company's stock were for the taking and delivering of that which had no actual existence. It certainly appears no more than just that all contracts made for the delivery of stock by parties who knew that it was Walker's in- tention to annul the company’s charter, should be declared by the Board of Brokers null and void- Such a decision would rebuke those leagned with Walker in his high-handed act, and serve a3. pro- tection not only in the present, but all future cases, to those who enter the stock market as purchasers, with full confidence in the existence of what they purchase, and with the belief that they are dealing with honorable men. It is such acts as appear in this Nicaragua Transit affair that has turned the attention of the Legislature to the stock gambling of Wall street. The Board of Brokers owe it to themselves and the public at large to take such steps as will guard the community against such se- cret combinations as this Walker clique. Every honest man is willing to take his chances in a fair open handed, above board stock operation, and if they are against him, pay up promptly and willing- ly; but in such a cut throat game as this Transit af fair, it is fatal to all men of moderate means, and should be repudiated by all. At the first board today Mlinois Central honds ad\nced 1} per cent; Nicaragua Transit, 1; Erie Railroad, 3; Michigan Southern, {. Galena and and Chicago fell off | per cent; Reading }.

Previous to the date of the above report the com- pany became embarrassed, and made an application for premium notes to the amount of $300,000, ander the belief that with aid to that amount, the difficul- ties at that time existing could be removed. Unfor- tunately the season since that has been unusually disastrous, ard losaes have occurred far beyond all human calculations. The gale of January 5 extead- ed cver the whole Northern Atlantic, and every ar- rival for wecks brought accounts of disasters to an extent never before known in the same time. In De. cember last, it was agreed upon among the trastees to obtain premium notes to the amount of three lundred thousand dollars. Only a portion of that amount was raised, and many who gave their notes -ay that it was agrecd upon that none should be uscd if the whole sum was not obtained. How far this will affect the validity of the notes given is a question some one may be disposed to solve by some legal process.
