Mr Boyce'a SpeechWe have read with decided interest, the able, argumentative and philosophical speech of Hon. W. W. Bovce, lately deliv. end in Congress, lie depicts the Republican party, its unboly purposes and aims, in glnring, but true colors ; and establishes by a train of reasoning incontestable con elusive that tjils party is n.yt only at wai with the institutions of the South, but i? operating directly against and in open violation of the Constitution. The Washington papers >ay that the speaker was listened to with profound attention throughout by all parties, and received more marked attention and respect from the Republican side of the House than any Democrat who has spoken the present session. Recent Acts | We publish tills Wfi-k ?n Act. ni??u-t > the last Session of our Legislature l<> provide for the peace and security ot the State. It refers to the publication and dissemination of incendiary documents and the usj age of language calculated to di an fleet j slaves. Under this Act, Postmasters are | charged with an important duty relative to i matter passing through their offices. A i vast number of the newspapers at the | North that have a circulation here, and are taken in preference to Southern papers he cause they are cheap, nnv he classed with the matter prescribed by this Act. Postmasters may confer lasting benefits upon the country by looking closely to this duty. We nlao publish the law relative to fax>ng dogs, nnd making (lie owners of dogs liable for sheep killed by them. Persons j who allow their slaves to hsve dogs are 1 specially interested in this Act. 'Phis is n good lew, nnd had it h? en carried a little further nnd a reasonable tax laid upon all dogs, the benefit to the country w^wld have been proportional I v greater. It would rid if of the large number of worthless curs Unit now infest it and the places vacated by them Would be filled with more profitable stock. It has been suggested that the law may be evaded by the master claiming the dog of the slave. But thu phraseology of the Act leave# no room for this subterfuge. A tax of cno dollar is imposed upon every dog kepi by a slave and the master is required to render his return on oath. Tost or Arming a Brigade.?A Committee appointed by the Virginia legislature to make an estimate of the probable cost of arming a Brigade of five thousand men have rendered a report. The various items for rnnsketa, pistols, snbres, dannon, ammunition, die., make up a sum total of 14*349 Congress Up to our latest dates from the Capitol, j | no organization of the House had been of! footed, and there seeiued as little prospect i ' of this much desired consummation as | : there was one liion'h ago. What is to b,0 ( the end pt this miserable party contest, and ; when I lie wheels of government, which are ( i now loekcd to the serious annoyance and inconvenience of its citizens, are to be re- , I lieved, arc subjects upon which it is itnpos- , sible at this time to arrive at anylning like ' | a definite conclusion, A short time since I it was announced that there was a strong ( | probability that the Democrats and South i Americans would coalesce and defeat the ' Republicans. It was also announced that ' the Republicans, despairing of electing , ! their favorite?Sherman?were about toll ; drop liim iiikI vote lor some one of their i ; number, less obnoxious to the Demoeiats 1 and to the country at large. Hut both of i J these propositions have exploded ; eaeh of I 1 the three parties seemingly determined to < i make no eone.essions for the general good. I The little squad, sty led South Americans. , J deserve the contempt of the country at ? , j large and should receive a severe lesson at j j the hands of their constituents They are I ( | men from the South, and a miserable party ' I feeling prevents them from uniting w ith the i I Democrats. They are mainly responsible ! ^ for the non-organi/ation of the House, i have proved recreant to their section and | ! may he classed with the open and avowed | . I enemies of the South and of the Constitu- J ^ | lion. Mr. Miles, of this State, has submitted ; 1 ( a proposition, which, could it be carried I out, would probably, under the eireum- j ! a'uncos, be the best thing that could be j ' done. He proposes to elect a temporary , Speaker, pass the necessary appropriation | bills for the support nt the (iovernment. j and then the members resign and go home to their constituents. A new election for Representatives would take place at once, J and then tlic grand question of the day? Union or Disunion ? would be brought prominently before the people. The South | would then ascertain whether the Union ) demonstrations at the North were real : or ' 1 whether there were suHicicut law-abiding j ' and Constitution loving, voters of that ] ' section to send law-abiding and Constitu* | ' ti"n loving members to Congress. Hut j1 the Black Republicans of course resist tliis ! ' measure, not feeling inclined to take the risk of losing tliei* acuta ; and as the Con- | slitotion makes no provision fir the present ! contingency, we suppose that we must eon- | tent ourselv-s to watch the current of; j events with what patieneo we 41)ay. The Fakjukk *nh Planter ?The Jan- 1 unrv number is an admirable one, being, if j any change, an improvement over preceding numbers. This is a favorable time to begin subscriptions, and this truly excel- ( lent work should be t ik?n by every farmer , and planter in the Slate. < >ne dollar could not tie better invested. The publisher in this issue corrects the report in regard to ita.discontinuance, ami says the work will assuredly he continued through the pros I ent year, so that subscribers need not entertain any fears as to realizing the worth of their money.

Gov. Letcher's Proposition. The first Message of (Jov. I.etcher, of j , Virginia, has been read in the Legislature j of that State. It is an ahle doeuniunt and ' | enters largely into the politics of the linen. , In view of the deplorable condition of nf- I fairs, and as a means of averting the impending danger of a hostile eollissom he- | j tween the free and slave States of this j I Union, he rreommeiida the adoption of the following measure : The only mode, therefore, of remedying ' the evil that occurs to me, under the ('on- 1 stitution. in provided in the fifth article I thereof. Humnion a Convention of nil the j States, that n full nn<l free conference may j be hud between the Ksprwscnta lives of the M people, eleeted for thin purpose, and thus i ascertain whether the question in Contro- L versy cannot Ik* settled upon some basis , mutually satisfactory to both sections. If { i sticii a convention shall assenioie, and after j free and full cousultation and comparison ' 1 j of opinions, they shall find that the differ- ' | elites between the slaveholdiiig and nun- i 1 J slaveholdiiig Stales are irreconcilable, let ' j them consider the question of u peaceful I separation, and the adjustment of all ques. j | lions relating to the disposition of the com- j ' moo properly between the two sections. If * they can he reconciled let them adjust the I ! terms, and give them such sanctions as will , render them effective t I suggest, therefore, that you adopt res- f olulions in favor of the call of such a Con* |. vention, and appeal to the In-gislaturc* of : the several States to unite in the applies | ' lion proposed to be made to Congress, in ' pursuance of the provisions of the article t aforesaid. If the non slaveholdiiig Stiles shall fail or rcfuae to unite in Ihe application, such failure or refusul will furnish eon i elusive evidenee of a determination on tlier t part to keep op the agitation, and to con- ' tinue their aggressions upon us. If the j Convention shall meet, and the question ! ! cannot be satisfactorily adjusted, it will c furnish evidence equally conclusive of their j ( determination. In either eveqt the people of Hi* .South will clearly understand witut . they are to expect in the future. HT Attention i* requested to the :id- I j vertiaomcnt of Mr. E.
