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

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

any change, an improvement over preceding

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.

Not very long since I was alarmed at
' what I considered nt the time a mourning
| voice, vv liivh seemed to todicnte distress
Iarid hurrying to an adjoining apartment t?
nscertnin the cause, I was informed thn* i
proceeded fr?.m the pow-boys. Now, I d<
not wi*li to be officious in rendering my
a lviio and counsel, but must say to thr?s?
l persons belonging to Ibis society?if it In
so constituted?that it would be consider
cd a favor, if tiiey would not create quilt
so much noise at such an unreasonable hou
j of the night, for I assure them it is very
annoying to the neighborhood in which they
congregate, an i deeply lament the existencr
I of such an ass< elation. My advice in jus
this: disconnect yourself with such and acl
like men. FRIKND.

of Southern men, but by "we, the pcopls

ur. etfoil to rid themselves of the institution
while they were British colonies, but Brit
I inh inllui'iiee prevented. And, to.dav, it if
this same, **we, the people ot Kngland," thai
is the main prop and pillar of the same
slavery ; supporting it by buying of it, as
it did last year,over #1.">0,000,000 worth ol
slave-grown Cotton, Km* and Tob.icro ?
How unjust, then, how unfair, and above
all, how ineonsiatent, the Herald auggests
for Kxeter llall to be joining In any abo
