Mr. Vallandigham'a Speech The rernatks of Mr. Vallandighaui. a member I of the Lincoln Congress from the State of I Ohio, upon the Trent affair, published in this | paper, will lie read with a great deul ol interest, i Mr. Vallandighaui contends, that thj course puisuod by the Lincoln Government in surrcn* I dering Messrs. Mason and Slidell, will have | the effect to bring on a war with Kngland, the j very result it was intended to avoid ; that Knglane cared nothing for the persons of Mason and Slidell ; that it was a surrender of the right to seize thein on hoard of her Ship, under the protection of her Hag, which she demaiuh cd, the very point which Mr. Seward refused to concede ailed ;ing that the only irregulaitly committed by ('apt. Wilkes consisted in his not seizing the vessel on hoard of which the prisoners were found. Mr. Vallandighaui thinks that England's demands upon the principle in- , volved, wiil he repeated ; and that the United Stales must cither make other disgraceful con. cessions, or fight. The signs of the times are full of bright au- j gurics for the Southern cause : the prospect of curly recognition by the European powers ; | of a war between the United Slates and some of those powers, and the financial ciuhairossmenta of the Xoilh?all point to the adruntage and speedy independence ol the Confederate ? ???

Campbell, commanding Coinpony I (Lancaster Hornets) in that engage- J inent: "Lieut.

Mason and Sli- ' dell tt> the llritisli Government. For six weeks, sir, they were held in close custody as traitors of the United States, by order ; of the Secretary of State, and with the np- . provnl and applause of tin' press, of the public men, of the Navy Department, of; this House, and of the people of the Uni- | ted States, with n full knowledge of tire manner nnd nil the circumstances of their capture, nnd yet in six days after the imperious and peremptory demand of Great llri- i tain, they were abjectly surrendered upon I the mere rumor even of the approach of a j hostile fleet, and thus for the first time in > our national history have we strutted iriso. i lently in a quarrel without right, nnd then basely crept out of it without honor ; and j thus for the first time has the American 1 V0..1.. 1?? r~ - ' < - ? "*&*1 v ?'? > > niiiui* to inner ueiore mo isril* | 'mil I.ion. Sir, a vassal or fettered nnd (error stricken press, or servile and sycoplmntic politi cians in this Mouse or out of it, may ?p plain! the net, and fawn and flatter, and liek the hand *> hieh has smitten down our honor into the dust. Hut the people now. or hereafter will demand a terrible reckoning for this most unmanly surrender. Hut I do not trust myself to speak of it now as I propose some day to speak. I rose only to put on record my emphatic protest ngainst it, and to express my deep conviction that the rery war which the other day might have been avoided by combined wisdom and firmness, is now inevitable. Sir, the surrender may he no fault of the Secretary of State, but he has sown, I fear, the dragon's teeth, by this, his fatal despatch, and armed war will spring from it ? In the name of (Jod, sir, what does England want with Mason nnd Slidell ? It was a surrender of the claim of the right to seize them on board Iter ships, under her Hag, that she Qomnuded, and yet this is the very thing that Mr. Seward pertinaciously refuses, and he only condemns Captain Wilkes because he did not enforce this as cried right with greater severity'against the offending neutral ship. Why, sir, upon the principles of this despatch, if a tner chant vessel, ns at first intended, had been employed to carry these men out from Fort ; Warren to Kngland, alio might to-day have been arrested on the high seas nnd they dragged from her deck, provided only she were forthwith brought back to the port of Boston for confiscation. Hut tuore than this. Kngland needs, ] do not say wants, a war, but she must and will have it, and this Administration has acted from the beginning as if it was their pur pose to oblige Iht ill it to tho u tin out?

A Hritiaii man of-war bears to the shores of Knglnnd, there to be received in triumph j and with shouts of exultation ns martyrs i and heroes, ami with the gustos of thej>eo 1 plu of Knglnnd and as the proteges of their ministers, the very men who, but for the ! rash act of Captain Wilkes and the still j more rash endorsement of the Administra* j t on and tho country, would six week ago I have been quietly landed from a private Sip in quiet security ns rebels and refugees. All Kuropo echoes now w ith their names. All Kurope will rise up to do them honor, nnd yet you surrendered them, did I you, to e?cnpe tho recognition by Knglnnd ! of the Confederate States, and your Secretary of State, with Christian resignation or stoic philosophy, calmly rejoices tfint the effectual check upon and waning proportions of the insurrection, as well ns lite comparative unimportance of the persons concerned, happily enable the Adminiatra- , lion, after six weeks experiment, to cheer> fully liberate them, and thus to remove the Irterimi mum belli. Sir, give nie leave to say, that the mo- > mcnt they (M.ison and Slidell) stepped 1 upon tho deck of a liiitish man-of-war your prisoners of state, whom the other day you would have consigned to felon's rells, became indeed the envoys nnd ombns idora of a recognized independent State, nnd I predict hero to day, in spite of this deep national humiliation, or rather, perhaps, because of it,ami in spite too, of tiie surrender, without protest, of the Monroe doctrine for forty yeurs the cherished nnd proud pol'ey of this Government, in lesa th in three months you will he nt war with ' rent Britain, or else, in the meantime, will have basely submitted to the recognition of the Confederate States, nnd the break, lag up of the blockade j nnd i'nt ?ur then, with hearts unstrung and hands unnerved by this very surrender. Courage ! courage ! courage ! sir, is the best nod first of peace-makers, I know well, of course, air, that like all other similar predictions for some yearn past, in regard to our public affairs, you will treat this one also with sculling and incredulity ; but, nevertheless, I put it on record here to day.

( riAiu.F.sTON, 12th February, 18GI. The Legislature having, at its late seBsion, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the i amount of $G75,000, bearing an interest of seven percent., for the purpose of providing the funds required to sustain the Stnte in the uA of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of the Bonds. They are issued in huiiis of $50, 100, nnd #500. An opportunity is thus afforded every citizen to make a secure nnd profitable investment, whi'e contributing aid to the cause in which the State ia I engaged. Willi the view of enabling citiI /.ens in any part of the Slate to share in | the Loan, the Clerks of the Courts of the 1 several districts have been required to open | books of subscription for the Stock. Sui| (able arrangements will be mnde for fumI ishing the Bonds on the receipt of the monI ey, at an early day after each subscription, i lias been made. Kngngeinents for the pur( clmse of Bonds mnv be made at the Bank, I or si any of its Brunches. It is probable that, at the next Session of the Legislature, j those parties who desire it may have their j Bonds converted into Stock. C. M. KURMAN, President. ' Pel) 25, 3tf ati) & c o. !
