In the great revolution which is pane forward you have performed your part nobly. This I say without flattery. Your work has been well done.

Con- secrate your work on that day, I feel a heartfelt grati- tude that I have lived to see it done, and that 1 have been ited to perform my little part in this great drama. ‘he blow has been struck, and slavery lies prostrate. An insolent, insincere, ignorant, unfeeling, hypocritical, ne- farious, diabolical slave aristocracy has been tumbled to the ind. They who never learned that “Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow,” who lived on the real or imaginary honors of # buried ancestry, have at last learned that an ignorant, corrupt aristocracy must go down. Your sessions have been, on the whole, harmonious, notwithstanding some little bickering, which I think will all pass away with your ad- journment. While you think that you have emancipated black men, I tel you you have emancipated more white than black men from the insolent domination of the slaveholder. Yes, the time was not long ago when you dared not your sentiments, Even in East Ten- oasoe, where there were only few slaves, and we always spone more freely, do you not remember the power which the slavcholder exercised? how many of our people were compelled to live on barren ridges and cultivate the stony spots, while a few slaveholders owned thousands of broad acres’ in the fertile valleys, which they filled with their bondsmen? Even you felt their power and knew the con- tempt they felt for you. Because, many years ago, I dared to speak of these things, I was d-nounced as an agrarian and demagogue who appealed to the prejudices of the people. Thank God, I have lived to sce the day when the people of my State have declared themselves free. must now urge you to redouble your efforts: carry out your work when you go hence. If you consuinmate it with the samo resolution, the foul blot of human agg § will be removed from the escutcheon of the State. shall say nothing of the future condition of the negro nor of the elective franchige. First reorganize; time and experi- ence will regulate the rest. Let us first get rid of slavery; let there be no bickering or conflict till we get that out of the way. This being done, we will take up other qnes- tions and dispose of them as they arise. ‘ho could have anticipated three years ago that we would have pro- grossed thus far? Lot us, like wise men, hold ourselves in readiness to manage the new questions which may arise in the fature. There is no need of giving ourselves trouble prematurely. Gentlemen of the Convention, or primary meeting, or assembly of the people, whichever you may choose to call it, you have already lived to see a grvat work done. The news has gone forth over the land on the wings of lightning. As I stated the other day that Thad got a despatch from Governor Fletcher, announcing that Missouri was fvee, so sent back yesterday a mes- sage to him that in my own State over five hundred delegates had unanimously abolished slavery, I also sent a message to Abraham that the death knell of slavery had been sounded in Tennessee. If we elect a Legislature, redistrict the State, and elect Senators and Congressmen, they will certainly be ro- ceived at Washington, and the whole trouble of recon- struction will be at an end. Our State will be as much & State as ever, having only lost its distracting element of slavery, and therefore the stronger for the loss. This goverment wag created to live in perpetuity.

Fave the Cleveland Leader, Jan. 21.) Mr. C. Fendt, the agent and manager of the Stereopti- con, arrived in'this city last night, from a brief trip to the oil regions. He reports a terrible accident on the Corry aud Titueville road, which happened about ten o’clock on Thursday night. ‘The facts, as stated by him, are these:—He left Corry on the regular passenger train bound for Titusville, and when out about twelve miles from the former place his train collided with the engine ofa freight train, This engine wax detached from the train at the time, and was running up the track at quite a brisk speed, forcing water into its boiler, when suddenly the two locomotives, neither of which had a@ head light, dashed into each other, becoming total wrecks. ‘The bagga car, strange to say, received but little damage, while the first passen- ger car was demolished, The other twocoaches were not much injured. The engineer of the er train was badly hurt, but the other engineer marv. escaped injury, The newsboy, whose naine our informant could not learn in the tumult, had both his legs crushed at the knee, and when the surgeons, who had been telegraphed for, arrived from Corry, they amputated his limbs, but he died in the operation. Some of the passengers were injured, our informant could not tear to what extent; but the fortunate circum- stance of the detachment of engine from the heavy freight train, and the comparatively slow rate of of both locomotives, few sustained damage where, re wise, many would doubtless have been killed. The nngers were taken back to Corry, arriving there yesterday morning. There seems to bave been gross neglect on both sides, But the burden of fault was laid upon the officials who allowed the freight train to leave Titusville on the time of the regular nightly passenger train from Corry. Collision on the Pittsburg and Erie. {From the Baltimore American, Jan. 23.) On Thursday night a collision occurred between the Pittaburg and Erie express train, which left Calvert sta- tion at eight o'clock that night, and another train bound south, at a point between Cockeysville and Parkton. The locomotive, No. 84, had its tender broken considerably in the collision, and some of the cars were damaged. ‘The engineer escaped serious injury by jumping from the locomotive before the collision took place, but had some of his limbs sprained. Car Thrown off the Track of the Indiaua Central—Forty Persons Injured. ‘From the Indianapolis Journal, Jan. ay ‘The city was filled with wild rumors last evening of a terrible accident on the Indiana Central road, and wo experienced the usual difficulty in tracing them’ to any- thing reliable. An accident did occur, however, and ina conversation with a gentleman who was on the train at the time, we ascertained that one car of the train which left Columbus at about forty minutes past three o'clock A. M. yesterday for this c: ty waa thrown from the track about fifteen miles east of Piqua, while rounding a wevere curve in a hillside, and was precipitated down the embankment, turning over three or four times. It was the ladies’ car, at the rear of the train, and was full of ngers. ‘Our informant, William 8. county, Illinois, who is badly bruised, aud whose wife is very seriously injured, gives it as his opinion that about forty persons were ‘injured, some of them so badly that they will probably never recover, and others but slightly bruised. In ‘but few of those in the car escaped unhurt, but we could not learn that an; one had been killed outright. Mr. Holmes remember the name of one gentleman who was badly hust—William Farmer, of Licking Obio. Of course it was im- possible for us to er the names of any considerable number of the injured, or even the nature of their in- juries, as most of them were conveyed to Piqua, fifteen miles west of the scene of the disaster, and there placed in charge of the citizens. of the train, aa ‘The occupant tunate car were placed in the forward part which still on the track, and made as circumstances would allow till they reached Piqua.
