We published, a few days ago, the speech of Mr. Harris, of Maryland, delivered iu Congress, as being one of remarkable power and vigor. We now subjoin some extracts from a speech delivered by R. W. Hanna, (a partner at law of the Hon. D. W. ? Voorhees.) at Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Hanna is a Senator, from the Terre Haute District, in the Legisla? ture of Indiana. This speech, in con? nection with utterances from other publie men of the great North-west, gives us bope that justice will yet be meted out to the Southern States. Mr. Hanna says that the issne at this time ia "between a pure and noble Caucasian destiny and the blighted, withered and ruined condition that must follow a violation of the stern and immutable laws of onr nature.'' Mr. Hanna then goes on to say: "The President of the United States so understands it, andi believe he is right. He has taken his stand has taken his stand upon the Consti? tution, and all the combined powers of fanaticism and hell cannot drive bim from it. [Here the wildest en? thusiasm prevailed throughout the whole of the vast audience. ] "This very hour, with grip of iron, he han ga to the lacerated and bleed? ing throat of the Puritan Apojlyon." tTremendous cheering.] Mr. Hanna then reviews the course of the radicals, and their efforts to thwart the policy of President John? son, by usurping powers never given to Congress, turning out of legally elected members from their seats-' their outrages of the Constitution their measures for the degradation and humiliation of the South, and the degeneracy of that body since the days of Madison, Randolph, Webster and Clay; and then pro? ceeds: "We have been in the midst ol Sloom and horrors. The last six yean ave been an almost unbroken season of depression and despair. The face of the land has been so covered with the deep waters of trouble, that there has scarcely been so much as an Ara? rat, where the fainting bird of hopt could rest his weary wing. But, aftei all this, the radicals are not yet satis? fied. They say they must have mon blood-that th eic must be more de struction, more widows, more or ghana, and more heart-burnings. They cannot be satisfied. Aggressioi is their motto, revolution their pur pose; and it is now for the people t< say how far they shall succeed. The-j can be overthrown, and I believe anc trust iu God they will \HJ." (Grea applause.] Mr. Hanna then reviews the hiato , ry of the Republican party since Lin coin's election. He pays a high com pliment to Virginia for her efforts ti restore harmony, and is severe upoi the radicals for their obstinate refusa and rejection of every measure oon ducive to that end. He then quote the rea???k? ot Senator Douglas upoi the compromise recommended by th "Committee of Thirteen," of whicl Mr. Davis and Senator Toomba wer members. On that occasion, Mi Douglas said: "I believe this to be a fair an amicable adjustment. If vou of th Republican side are not willing to at eept this, nor the proposition of th Senator from Kentucky, pray tell m what you are willing to do? I ad dress this inquiry to the Republicar alone for the reason that, in the Con mittee of Thirteen, a few days agc every member from the South, a eluding Messrs. Toomba and Davii expressed their willingness to accept the proposition of my venerable friend from Kentucky (Mr. Critten? den) as a final settlement of the con? troversy, if tendered and sustained by the Republican members. Hence the sole responsibility of our disa? greement, and the only difficulty in ute way of an amicable adjustment is with the Republican party." [Cheers.] Mr. Hanna then said: "Ah, Mr, Chairman, the past is a terrible and inexorable tribunal. Its judgments are conclusive and final-its records live forever, and cannot be changed. Let the Ste venses, the Sumners and the Chandlers go there and try their case by that tribunal if they dare. They were offered compromise upon com? promise, but they preferred disrup? tion and vengeance, the hand bear? ing the beautiful olive branch of peace was stretched forth to them in Christian faith; but, maddened with jealousy and thirsting for revenge, they chose the miseries of war and the sorrows of death. History makes convicts of them all. They have sa? crificed more than a million of valua? ble lives upon the bloody altars "of the Moloch they have worshipped. The manes of their victims come forth from the tombs of more than a thousand battle-fields and testify against them ; the blood which cries from the ground of Gettysburg and Chickamauga, of Fredericksburg and Murfreesboro, condemns them; the bones which sleep by the waters of the Mississippi, and where the Rap Sahannock murmurs her melancholy irge as she sweeps along by the sunken graves of Chancellorsville, rise up in judgment against them. Wretched despoilers, who have done so much crime in the name of liberty and Christianity-who have been willing to see the nation scourged with sword of ?ame and hoof of fire-who have rejoiced, in their .wicked orgies, to. see her rivers run red and thick with fraternal blood who have plotted the ruin of more than twenty-five millions of their own race, to raise to an unnatural eleva? tion four or five millions of negroes who would have sundered every tie. burned the last house, and beggared every child in the land, to do, under the guise of war, what they knew they could never accomplish inside the Constitution of our fathers! Ac? cursed scoffers and raving infidels, who would have leveled Calvary it? self for a place to celebrate their im \ pious and drunken feasts! Let them talk no more of liberty, no more of j Christianity; for their liberty and their Christianity will forever be a j hissing and a mockery where virtue prevails and truth resides! [Great I applause.] Who would nothave pre? ferred any honorable compromise to the blasting and consuming war from which wo have just emerged? An? swer me, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Indiana and Mississippi, Ohio and Kentucky-answer mo, sisters and wives of the slain in battle-fathers and mothers whoso parting with the last beardless boy has so prematurely ripened the bloom of eternity upon your sunken and throbbing temples which would you prefer, could you roll back tho tide of time and make the choice again? Tho answer leaps from every heart and bursts from every lip. I would not sacrifice one such noble spirit as McPherson's, or one such brilliant and intrepid soldier as Stonewall Jackson, for Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Henry Wil? son, Zachariah Chandler, and all th? hell-brood of tho vicious fanatics, bigots and traitors they represent to? day." [Tremendous and long con? tinued cheering.] Mr. Hanna then traces to the dooi of Puritanic New England the au? thorship of nullification and seces? sion. On this point, we think he ii peculiarly happy. Ho says: "Nullification was born on the verj soil of tho same New England State* whose pulpits uro now so prolific o: anathemas against secessionists, ant whose men and women daily suppli cate Almighty God for tho sweei privilege of washing their hands ir the blood of Jefferson Davis. [Voices "That's so, that's so," and cheers. The history of the country bears un out in this statement, and no mai cnn successfully deny it. Let us turi over a few pages and see how it is. "I hold in my hand the addresi published by the famous conveutioi at Hartford, Connecticut, on the loti day of January, 1815. Massachu setts, New Hampshire, Connecticut Rhode Island and Vermont were al represented in that convention Among thc names of those who rep resented Massachusetts, I seo th name of one Samuel Sumner, wh< most likely at the same time trans mitted his namo and his treason t Charles Sumner, tho present Senato of that State. [Laughter and a? plauso.] But that was doubtless be fore the Sumner family had resolve to 'make treason odious.' [Orea laughter.] If yon -will indulge me, air, I will read a single extract from that address: " 'Events may prove that the causes of our calamities are deep and per? manent. They may be found to pro? ceed not merely from the blindness of prejudice, pride of opinion, violence of party spirit, or the confusion of the times, but they may be traced to implacable combinations of individu? als, or to States, to monopolize power and office, and to trample without remorse upon the rights and interests Of commercial sections of the Union. Whenever it shall appear that these causes are radical and permanent, a separation by equitable arrangement will be preferable to an alliance by constraint, among nominal friends but real enemies, inflamed by mutual hatred and jealousy, and inviting, | by intestine divisions, contempt and j aggressions from abroad. ' "Here, sir, the right of a State to j secede from the Federal Union was promulgated in New England os much j as fifty years ago. " As to the position taken by the j Southern States, in connection with j that of New England in nullifying j the fugitive slave law, he says, with j great point and force: "A portion of tho Southern States, j it is true, did put aside the Constitu- j tion, and set at naught tho powers of j the Federal Government. Now, New j England says in doing this they com- i i nutted a crime which can only be ex- ] piated by the hetacombs of a thou-1 sand victims, sacrificed upon a thou-1 ! sand smoking altars! How many ? j victims does she bring to the same altars, to be offered up by thc same priests, in atonement for the same crimes? [ApplauseJ How many does she bring, sir? We want to hear no more lectures from that quarter about constitutional obedience so long as Charles Sumner lives to spread the toils of their patent mis? chief; no more of turpitude and gib? bets, while they themselves make a mockery of civilization by their adu? lations of the crested criminals they nourish in their midst-so long as Banks is tolerated and Butler runs at large. * * ? The radical party is in favor of the disfranchisement of eleven great States, and of the utter political extinction of millions of American citizens. The President and the entire conservative element of the country are against it-[ap? plause]-against it, sir, because such a policy is antagonistic to the genius of the age-against it because it would be unjust, vindictive, despotic, cruel and disastrous. [Cheers.] As I would spear the wolf that delights to sweeten his tooth with human blood, so I would hunt from the land the worse than wild beast of that fa? naticism which has no pleasure above its savage rapacity, and no office above the offices of cruelty and of 'death. [Great applause.] Away with it, with its hates, its persecutions, its rancor and its miseries-away with it forever, sir. Then a new day-spring from on high sholl visit us-then the lost dava of our prosperity shall bo restored-then the windows of Hea? ven sholl once moro bo opened, and the long exiled minister of peace, shedding from hia white wings thc ambrosial dews of hope and joy upon our famished and fruitless earth, shall descend to us again and dwell with us in the midst of increased confidence and happiness." [Applause.] Mr. Hanna then enunciates what wc have long believed is the opinion of the masse* of tho people of his section. He said: "I speak for the people of the groat North-west. Tho ]>eople, sir, aro humane ond just. This cry ol terror does not proceed from thom. They want peaco and restoration. [Cheers.] They aro weary of thc burdens and the taxes of a wai brought on by fanaticism, and which they would hove prevented by sound reason and timely conciliation; they are weary of the vast expenditure ol public moneys for the support ol worthless negro troops in States whero they are not wanted, not need ed, and whero honest labor invites them back to tho rich fields whicl they have deserted; they aro weary o! tho prodigality, the impositions, tin extortions, and thc usurpations o! tho Freedmen's Bureau, togethoj with all the dogs, wolves and jackals that ever follow upon its scent foi prey. [Tremendous applause. They are sick and weary with tin whole of it. They intend to put J stop to it. [Renewed applause. They have the power to do it, nm ! they will do it. "Conservative principles have sue cessfully conducted the affairs of thi Government for more than seventy years. I think they can be truste! again. Once restored to their ancien power, and we will again have peace I prosperity and concord. We wil I then cut down all the gibbets, burs open the prison door?, unfetter th captives, and call home the exiles. Then the people shall once more wake the slumbering harps of joy; then shall they swell again the an? thems of their Te Devm laus damns, and they shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things shall have passed away." jLiong continued applause.] "We believe tho publication of this speech, at this time, will be produc? tive of the best results among tho people Mr. Hanna represents.
