Not a few of the regu- lar inbabitante of the synagogue of Henry Ward Beecher were present, including some of the trustees, notwith- standing the scmewha!§ paradoxical fact that the} tras tees of Plymouth church had positively refused to hear Mr. Philips lecture within the sacred precincts of their own house of worebip. Although the Beecherites wero thus deprived of the pleasure of hearing their friend athome, they resolved that they would, at all events, hear bim abroad, and epjoy treason in other people's houses In fact, the opportunity was too good to be lost Henry Ward Beecher himself had publicly declared that ‘Wenell Phillips’ plea for the dissolution of the Union was ‘a8 good a8 a concert, and ic full anticipation of a rich intel Jectual treat, the good people of Brooklyn crowded into the Atheneum. The result of their experience will be better gathered from @ perusal of the lecture itseif. There was considerable doubt as to the fluale of the entertainment; and the police authorities hearing loud rumors of ‘bad eggs,’ brick bats, and other delicate miseiles of an offersive kind—and obeying the philosophi- cal injunction, Respice finem—took the precaution o sending up a strong posse of police to the Athenwum to guard egainst any infraction of the peace. The lecturer, in coming to the platform, had to pass through a double file of policemen, who were stationed in an inner apart- ment ready to act on any emergency. At eight o’clock Mr. Wendell Phillips appeared, ac companied by Mr. Theodore Tilton, of the Independent; Samuel J. May, of Syracuse, and the Rev. Mr. Long- fellow; and as be ascended the plat‘orm he was greeted with Joud and enthusiastic applause, On introducing Mr Phillips to the audience, Mr. Ticton came forward, and said he would like to know if the Jadies and gentlemen were all in good humor. A Vowe—Firet rate. (Laughter.) Mr. Ti:ton Faid he would begin by telling the andience what bir. Phillips would do to-morrow night. He hi been requested to tay that a lecture would be given by ‘Wendell Phillips, of Boston, at the Cooper Institute to- morrow evening, on the necessity of agitation for the purpose of moral reform. With reference to the lecture of this evening, the Commitice of Arrangements—of which be was not a member—had requested him to make certain explanations. Mr. Tilton then wont} on to ex plain how some eight or ten days ago the commit tee had in preparation the lecture on Disunion. They consequently went to the agent of the Brooklyn Tarernaclo to make dn arrangement with him for she «ee of that building for that evening. When the app ication was made its purpose and tendency were ap parent, and the agest entered an objection ou the ground tliat Mr. Pbillips might make an abolition speech—a The Effect of the News in Washington, OFR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. ‘Wasurneroy, March 20, 1860. ‘The Secretary of the Navy received the following despatch late last night, which details very briefly the engagement at Vera Cruz between Captain Jarvis, com- mander of the United States naval forces, and General Marin, who commanded the Spanish or Miramon naval forces :— chains.

Thatia the change the Union has made for us. Now, it seems to me that wo have gota little estimate of the Union; that is, ber value.

That le our country, and you know Ido not exeggerate it. Slavery ip stronger. ell, you ask me, “ What do you propose?’ I pri to look fora moment at bow tho Urion eanpoate very, and I want to show you the rea- sons why I wish to get rid of the Union.” Ia the first place it degrades public opinion. The Northern states- men is ob)iged to oud die thought. I said just sow that Mr. Seward, in bis speech, auggeste no remedy. Ho doce not I dO not misrepresent him. io suggests nothing. He only ays, there ia the past; but for the future no ground, no argument, uo suggestion. Iwill find one for you—it ia this: Outside of polities, behind it, in there ulterior purposes, in these hidden wishes of the republican party which he denies— which the South charges him with and which he repu- djates—outside there public opinion In Ohio, in Mareachuretts, in New York, thero is a pubsic opinion which knows (tbat that epeech does not represent it—a paki opinien which says, “Union or no Union, law or Lo.Jaw, the fugitive alave shall not go back.” (Applause,) Now, whence came that public opinion? It came from an egitation outside of politics; it came from just such Ks ches es Lem making to.night; it came from abolition- iste who eaid what Seward cannot gay on the floor of the Senate. It raid, “We mean to reach slavery; we mean to stravgle it.” (Applause) Out of that has grown the pabdlic opinion—sgitation,” which has produced the only reliable, the only hopeful, the only possible elemon: tka can ever ve the safety of the Union—that can eave i from being aslaveocracy and adespotisem. Mr. Seward does not allude to it, but let us look at it. There te auch an opin ion existing and created by men who have loved liberty ene jurtice more than Union. Jobn Quincy Adams raid to Cbarles Sumper when he gat by the side of bis sick bed, “Lbope to go back to Washington once more.” + What for?”* said the young etatesman. “I hope to go back and show this tame Daniel Webster that there is somethiog more valuable than a Union, and that is the liberty acd justice which it waa made to secure.” (applause) Out of that tone of fentiment there bas come a public opinion, out- side of republicanism, which parades at least a plausible hope tbat you can get rid of slavery without the discolu- tien of the Union. I wapt to look at ita moment. I hare uo hostility tothe Usion. I do not stand here 40 foolish 86 to say Or even to attempt to prophecy that there is no way of petting rid of elavery except by tho dissolution of the Uvicn, Teapnot look forward. All 1 know is, the past is the lamp by which 1 gnide my steps for the fu. ture, Now 1 Save got the slave power on one side, which bas been uniformly successful up to this moment, »pd Ihave gota public opinion on the other, 1 want to sbalyze them. What is the elave’power? In the frat Wace it ig two thousand milion of doilare—for that is ibe vatve of the elave population—invested in one kind of property, Well, you know tho power of money.

And that ia called statesmanship, [oa eau Swift's watebiers satire the traveller met a man engaged for forty years in extracting rome beans from cucumbers.

Ihe charter party of the voyago is almost from heaven. We rtarted—Jeflerson and Wyelb—the spirit of thoee bright statet men of Virgipin tremble for her right to sell. Jobn Jay brocced over New York with his angel wings; Sam Acems thundered in Fenieul Hall. The enthusiaem of the Revolution laanched the rhip of state. We went on sev. enty yeare. We clutched Florida from Spain and deomed i\ to slavery. We booght Louisiana from Napoleon and star ped it with bondage. We stole Texas from Catholic Mexico and put back slavery on all ita free soil. We out- raged every principle of Saxon justice with the fogitive slave bill. We trampied on the constitution weelf im the Dred Scott decision. Our ablest etateéman in 1860 stands and tells us the history; and I ek what is pour remedy Shut your eyes (laughter) — purge beaclong—that is bis remeay. And when a pri vate man (hated lips) tuggeste that posaibly the evil is in the arrangement of the government, and it might be well to consider whether we had not started wrong, he is a traitor—he must not have a public hall—he mast not be beard—he is lideiling the inetitution—he is risking the prosperity and the wellare of thirty three States. Fellow vitizeps: that is exactly the etate in which we muet be to- night’ Mark me. Tam not biaming Wm. H. Seward. He i & representative man—the ablest etateeman—the boldest that we have. got—(lond and long continued ap- plauge)—the foremost mau of eightcen States. Well, what cap any of bis friends suggest before I pass to the cirect argument that I shall present to you? What can he suggest of any hope in that programme of which I bave Jost spoken to you? Undoubtedly, it will be said, “You Co injustice to Mr, Seward.” That gpeech of his is a sim. ple programme of a politician. He spoke at Roshester bis real heart. He uttered in 1848, in Obie, his full belief when he said, ‘slavery ig msin, an evii, and most be aboliebed, and youand I must abolish i.” Weil, I know he did. That makes that speech al! the more remarkablo. He cannot sflord to utter what he thinks. He would not be available if be was an abolitionist. (Laughter) You have go? ® copstitution under which the leading men and the first Presidents avowed themselves abolitionists. Jeffereon, Waehington, Patrick Henry, Wyeth, Lee, Jay— the leading men of tha revolutionary period hastened, before they went down into their gravee, to carve on en. during granite the record that they were abolitionists. We have drifted sixty years on your sacred, almost divine sea of the Union, and the man tbat makes his bid for the Presidency conceals the iact that he is an abolitionist, and bis fricncs ¢xcuse him on the ground that he ought to— and I know he ought to, But wurn around and look at the otber ide of the medal.

We have gore abead ontil today with Mossachusetta a free State, England remains with the same ideas, and with the aristocracy, wealth, titles, inatitutions, the House of Lords, the Church; and ehe ix about a bundred years behind Massachusetts. That ix the way that ijeas fight institutions. Now this public opinion will take a century or two to figbt the govern ment of the United States. By ail past experience i: Will take about a canting, to abolish slavery by public opinion against the government of the United States, held by the slave power.

I am ono of tbe police that qviet on the plantations. That is not just the place born to. Ido pot think that was what tbey pl dged themselves to in 1776. Why shou d not you jet the system obey God's vatural law? If New York throws berself into the reaie she keeps tho black raco bo- low the white one. Is that the Union that you exactly relieh, or which you will teach your children to approve? Again, Mr. Seward gays that in tbe famous com promize they alleged and agreed that the fugitive slave ebou'd be retrrfied:to bis master. 1 ones travelled along the northern bank of the Ohio.

Not for the love of millions that hang upon his lips; not for ten thousand tim’s a more gorgeous bubble than that for which bis speech 1s a bid, would William H. Seward lift bis hand to return a fugitive slave to Virginia. (Loud ppplavse.) You applaud it, and yet what a compliment it is! It fs only fair, it ts only a deserved compliment, for ug to pay to our greatest statesman, that when he swore to support the coustitution he intended to commit perjury. Iam not exaggerating. If I stood here to-night and effirmed in your presence that the great statesman of the Fmpire State would have obeyed that clauge, you would bave flarned back upon me tho epithet of sianderer. I am obliged to judge by the record of his ife, and by the testimony of his fellow citizens, that when he swore to support that very conetitution—which he bas done scores of times—that constitution whic be rays comer from hands almost aivipe—that he intended to commit perjury. Is that the Unien to which you can welcome men when they get to be twenty one years old? It seems to me not. [ would like to vote; I would hke to add my quota to the civil in- fiuerce of my country.

Seward {for the Presicency to-morrow, and yet I would rather gee a democratic President. ‘(Laugliter.) Fwi)l tel you my. If there is a ican elected in 1860, you will be looking to the adm: ion. You will be waiting to see what law can do—what liberty fettered can co ag! very unbound. Agitation will be lulled. Every thing like free and unfettered action will cease. We shal) wait. Let Douglas or a democrat be elected, and every mi mre with the slave power. Insurrection will break out on the mountains and insurrection of thought in the pulpite, and we shall bave a greater anti-slavery progress jm four years than we ebould bave in forty under such a programme as that of Mr. Seward’sspeech of the last mcnib. I must basten toa conclusion. There is another law in Goo’s Kingdom, and it is this:—Slavery is an expensive and waseful system. It cannot live. God fixed it that justice ehoula be expedient, and that villainy should be bankruptcy, He fixed that’ when he aetiled the laws of bis kingdom. Therefore if a man attempts to rob bis brother man, in the first piace that brother man ro- siete by the rigbt to irsurrection. Mark you. I am net athing the slave to rise; 1am not urging’ bim to rise. 1 only fay, take off your foot and leave bim; leave the Argio $6xcn and the african te write out their own insti tutions by be finger of their own manhood. But in addi: tlop to that there is the pecuniary motive. South Carolina, for inetance, stands in keen competition in the 19th centa ry. Whatistha ? All of us are tryirg to make a living. We get up early and Jic down jate ; we educate our brains to the interest , we barnes the steam ; we send the light ping on errands ; the little child that can just totter begine to do ecmething ; end the man £0 years of age contributes Lie mite. We ail works. New York works from the Huceon back to the Fallz, and after eating and cloibing hergelf, bow much does she jay up? Perkays four per cont upon ber capital. South Carolina is ove half idle by aristocratic taste and fssbion. The otber belf, in chains, does Lot work from motive but from compulsion, and of course works at disadvantage. ‘The ccnecquence j#, that there is not more than one man in four in South Carolina working te-day. The other three fourths live upon them. Three men living upon the work Of ove, and vnekilied jabor. How much do you tuppore they lay up? Why, as the Jriehman said, they isy vp a less. (Javghier) Suppose that, as they threaten, they ebovld go out of the Union. Suppose tbat to morrow their pelicy was carricd out.

I don’t cepy that it might be a valuable machinery to a certain extent. I don't stand bere to criticise It. All I tay $s that vp to the preernt moment it has neither secured liberty nor justice. It tas neither advanced the Latiopal character nor the character of our great men. Carlyle ea} t the great yalue of government is to educate men. Certainly Daniel Webster said, with much more epigrammatic force, ‘The werit of the colonies was thet they produced Warbington ? The fanit of the Union ip that it produced Webster.

He promised to. rvn a race of distinction and stater- mattdip. Tmbibing from New Engiand atmoephero the ‘proudest and moet generous principi s of liberty, yon sent him to the muelstrum of the Unioh, potent encvgh to swallow up virtue stronger than his. You added him to the list of thore that mark the pathway of the Union, in wrecks of good reputation, skeletora of Flatrmen who bave betrayed their country. It ia bo matter of rejoicing. One reason why I re regret the Union £0 vastly is, \hat it makos the saddest breach of stateemanehip of cur geveration and the Inst. The question is, is there not something more valuable to day’ Our beet etaterman, our foremost, is obliged to 'y, by the neceseities of bis position, for instapce, that John Brown is a criminal and was jusily hong. Lay that record by the eide of Mr. Seward’s Jast speech. It does not cohere. What hope have you for the future? It is in the struggle of public opinion.“ How can it be cre- ateo? Solely by the preaching of a rigid right and wropg. How can we create ao blic = — opt- bien adequate to beat down the slave power? Oniy by laying down the most absolute principles: of right, culy by aeeerting that slavery is atin, ooly by ignerieg color. If slavery is a rin, what is our logisiation that cnceavors to cover it? Three millions of people, Dending beneath atax, under George Washington, their friend, marched to vi:tory and fame. The world’ says, “Right—glorions.”? Four milion of people, bending un- der a bondage compared with which one moment is heavier than ages such as our fathers rose to regis. Jobn Brown, their friend, is @ criminal, and justly heng. Out of that discussion can you get an influence that will best down such a siavery as 1 do- seribe to you? Never. that I ‘ask 18 that each man eball make up bis micd for bimself that the slave bas a rgbt 10 hiberty. That is justice and right. If you can go ahead under the constitution and eave thst, then ¢o it. Dr. Day told me two daye ago that he raw brought into his Miesouri prison, kidnapped for Kansag Territory, a young biack msn twenty-two years old. His bi e manacied. Amidst his sobs he articulated: free man; my free papers are in my pocket.” The United States ¢fficer who brought bim pnt bis felon band into that pocket, took out the 18, tore them in pieces and flung them into we fire, and the next morning thore kidpapped bards went down, merged in the slave power forever. (Hear, hear.) Noremedy, no ro- drcee. Is it the only justance? | have seen tbe Chief Juntico of Mareachuretis Fitting upon the bench of the Snprema Court with a fugitive slave in front of him, who had twice proved the right of libe: itany of vs have, because he wos born free as well ag we, and he had earced a ge- cond title by taking bis life in his right hand and fleeing & thousand miles through ail the perils of death, and put- ting his foot upon the streets of Boston, which ought to bave been a shelter. He looked into tbe office of the Chief Justice of Matsachusette apd raid, “Have you any refuge for me?” and with voice broken by emotion the repreeentatives of the. law and the commonwealth enid, “It is a bard case; 1 ceLbot vindicate its right; but I must announce the law.’ If hat ie tbe Union you jike—if that is the Uvion you are Willig to bring up your childrea to love, if the peo- ple of thirty States can regard the Union as “s!most ea- crca”’—if the statesmen have no other name for it than “divice,” altboogh they ‘cannot vindicate it right, but that wealth should bave wealth r. only sppounce the iaw’’'—then, I sry, set mo with the bleck man and record traitor sgainst my Dame; side me with the rebel who bas no perpere im life but to tear down that goveroment that js connected with the bleod of four millions of its vichme.
