Ill ft ppqech delivered in the limine of Represent n(ivfxr*' 11 poll (ectiouul titbit til ion, Ml'. Dovck, of Si'uili Carolina, Hays the Washington l/niott, reviewed the history of Hectiomil agitation as connected willi tile admission of Louisiana and Missouri, und the bearings of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Pred Scott cafe upon the issues involved, ilo contended that the clause in the constitution which jjives Congress the power to malic all needftil regulations for the Territories would not lieur the construction put upon it by the opposition, fur it was clear that uio worn "icrritorit's" was useil in tliu sense of property. If Congress had |>osscsscd I lie authority claimed for it tlierc would liuvo been no necessity for a special enactment iu the case of the District of Columbia. lie then referred to the legislation of the Northern States to show that at the North the negro was not considered on an equality with the white race, and cited I lie law | iu Massachusetts to prohibit the negro fioni mar| ryiiifj with white persons. Coming to the quo*I tion of tlie admission of Kansns, he liehl that it j was not necessary that a constitution should bo 1 submitted to a vote of the people. Yet the question was submitted as to whether slavery should be incieascd !>y importation, hut withholding tlio power to confiscate the slaves already in Kansas. The sincere anti-slavery parly was in the minority ; it was not the object of the oppo| sition to benefit the slave, hut to get possession of all the Territoiics. They did all in the?r power to make their people hate his people. If they should succeed ill building tip this sectional parly, in his opinion, the condition of the conquered provinces of the Unman Kmpirc would lie more desirable than that the South would occupy. Then they would have hilt one step more to take, anil that was to give their own construction to the constitution of the laws.

LIVINGSTON ON SLAVERY. This gentleman who spent several years in Africa, and who. with a eorps of explorers, is about to return, while speaking at a farewell banquet given Iniii in Loudon, gave expression to opinions embodied in the following extract. The conviction which he expressed is doubt less that had by a large portion of the Knglish people.? To strike a fatal blow ill African servitude in this country, and thus destroy the chief element of American commerce and prosperity, would be England's glory; Vet, straugo to sav, in this work of demolition, she has thousands of willing allies under the leadership of Ckkki.v, Skw.\ki>, mnl others ol' like character.

Ciiaui.ks Mack a %*, of Loudon, has written a letter to the New Orleans I'lcai/imc, i:i which he slates his convictions in reference to slavery: "Thus far in my rambling notes I have nut touched upon the 'peculiar institution' and tickI lisli subject of .slaverv.

''A EXPEDITION FOR REVOLUTIONIZING NORTH' ERN MEXICO. The Galvostou News, of the ICtli till., has a lettel from out! of its editors, dated New Orleans March iy, from which the following is an extract. : For sonic days past it Iium been rumored that, uu expedition was on fool lot revolutionizing the northern States of Mexico, mid thnuuh nothing very definite is yet known, I am in possession of sufficient information to atatc, flint an opportunity will now lie presented to such of our citizens as wish to take part in this enterprise, hy going out as emigrants to n*sist in laying the foundation of the Sierra Madro Kcpuhlic. Col. I/Ockridge, who has been in tho city for u few days awaiting despatches from the North, and who leaves on Sunday for <.Jalveston, has just handed mo the enclosed letter, which lie wishes published in the next issue of the "News," as his object in visiting Texas is to raise as many i;ooil men and true as can be mustered hy the lirst of April, when it is expected all the necessary plans for the successful issue of the expedition will be completed. So far as I can learn, the plan of operations is to avoid all interference with the neutrality laws, au.l laud the ui?u in Mexico an emiginnts without amid or munitions of war, which are already en route for Mataiuoros, where the first organization is to take Col. Lockridgc informs mo tlint he lias been engaged in tliis movement for some time, and that lie litis received the most cni-ilinl co-operation of some <>f the lending men at the Noitli, where the necessary means have been raised; and that whether he meets with success in Texas or lint, in procuring men, the expedition will certainly Marl about the time name<l in his letter. The States, out. of which the new republic is to he formed, lire already ill often revolution ugaisiist the Central (iuVerimient, an<l have invited assistance from the United States ; so that this enn scarcely be called a iilli blistering iiiovtlilciit, inasmuch as no purl of the neutrality laws will ho violated. The Slates have each declared against the Zuloaga ( nvernmcnt.; and, so 60011 as the required assistance can he furnisheil, are prepared to declare in favor of Yidatirria, who is expected to lie placed at the head of the new republic.? The abdication of (.'onionfort, the probable recall of Santa Anna, the weak and unpopular charactei ol the new ( overiiment. all favor the present eiitei-fiiiso, which has been regarded as an inevitable consequence for some time past, though so favorable an opportunity as the present, to strike a successful blow for liberal principles was scarcely anticipattul so soon. The names 1 have heard mentioned in coniiec-. lion with this enterprise, are such as to give the best guarantee of its certain success, Imt a positive union of action is necessary, an 1 hence llie delay in giving ii publicity.

In no less than fifteen churches in that city are noon prayer meetings held on secular days, not to speak of Burton's old theatre, which is so crowded that negotiations are pending to obtain KOtiie larirer Imililimr. Tn Itr.w.ble,. increased milliner of churches will lie opened for those who nre concerned on religious mailers, iiih! all llie signs portend that tin- excitement lias not reached its culmination. Legislative prayer meeting.-; lire held at. I lie Court of Appeals daily in Albany, merchants mid lawyers have prayer nice tings, Indies have their tip-town praver meetings, und there is some talk of a brokers' player meeting at the Exchange, between the first and second .Boards. One ureal auxiliary to the spread of llie revival is t he notice taken of it. by I lie secular press. Column after column is devoted to the record of religious experiences, und revival intelligence is made us much l,a feature" as financial or pnlilicel news. This is quite unprecedented, ami shown the extended usefulness cf the press of lale years. Certainly never was religious propaganda ism so thoroughly carried out. Printed hymns, tracts, placards, every where remind the iiiutteu- i live of ilieir duties, (iirla and ynun<r men visit fiitnil:??s by t.lic block i^ivinc? them tracts, urging them 10 repent, offering tli?-in Ire? scats in llie neighboring church, and Inking an inventory or spiritual census of the number und condition of the households. Altogether, the revival may he pronounced the most striking phenomenon of the day. Further In/ the Xiagara?The English House of Commons met on the l3thiust. INI r. D'lxraeli announced the satisfactory termination of the misunderstanding between Grout DrilallJ* and France. The Appeal of Orisini and his fellow conspirators, has been refused. Arrests of suspuclcd persons continue throughout Franco. Nothing later had been received from India. An attempt had been made ut Chalons to, revive the. Republic. It was defeated. A riot had occurred at l)ubhn between the police and the college students, in whictf^five of the latter were dangerously wounded.

The / '/ni iiht War.?The Oeala (Florida) Com- j ptiniun confirms the. recent report* from other f somites of the prohahle early teriiiiiiation of the ^ war auain<t. the Indians in Florida. In its mini- j ber of the !llh ilist., it says: We learn from passengers who arrived here on the stage from Tampa, on the 5th inst., that there is now u fair prospect of an immediate termination of the .Seminole war. The delegatiou from the West had lieen into the Indian country, and, being unahlt to find anything of How legs or his tribe, had returned, hut. soon made another effort to find tiiem on;.- On the ' lust occasion they had not proeeetled far before | iliey met a hearer of a white ling, and soon met < Itilly himself with several of hU men. llilly said that he was satisfied with war, ns were most of his men ; hut he wished to see Juniper, who did not go out witii the rest of tlie delegation, before I lie could say what he would do. It is understood 1 that Hilly and Jumper have hemi at enmity for > some time past, am) it is supposed that if they I can make up their di'licully tin; Seniiuoles will agree to ir>? West at once. We think the war in Florida is at an end, hut would have no effort relaxed for its earnest prosecution until the rid- j dance is completed." A JW/n Process.?A western correspondent, who avows himself to have been incited to exertion by the success of the "lieu persuader," has invented a " Mvrhr ami fltix/i'r, Mixiit'i J lachinr," which, we think ti.usl come into general use. It. is very simple; so are all great, inventurns. The plan, briefly stated, is as follows: "First, procure a common niorter bed; put in the component parts, such as are generally used; then add a little corn the quantity of which is to ' I,., rrr...1 I... r 1 u; mi* 111 i<y ui umri.er or juast.er to l?? made. Tlion turn in si few swine; and liy (he lime the corn is gnue, tin- niorlor will be ( reiuly for use. In making plaster, the swine ' should stay in over night, to allow lime for re- 1 moving the hair, which the lime will accomplish; ] thus saving the expense, of purchasing that ur- . tide. The swine can then he removed aiul 1 slaughtered, without, the expencc of scruping; I thus, together with the labor of mixing, saving 1 at least one third the cost of the ohl plan." I low this may strike sculptors, masons, lath mid plasterers, and others interested ill plaster, morter, etc., we of course cannot say; hut to us, the invention seems quite n feasible one.?Knickrr buvkcr.
