Hon. James swkes, of Indiana. We nmkt the following extract from * *p?Mch 'of this g?i?l1<*?fthti,xleliveiT?d in the House of Hep* Veseutativos, in reply to the remarks of Mr. liuRLi.NUAMK, of Massachusetts: , " I snid this was not tl?o first time tli'is tiling Itad Wen done. Why, sir, a gentleman trpon \hi? floor?Mr. Morris, of 'Illinois?made ft remark in reference to myself, some dnvs ago, in en essay which lie read tipfcn this floor, but whether he wrote it or not, tli'ife deponent eaitb Viot. lie said " the gentleman fiOrrt imnnna," "referring to myself, "liiul been f>nt fiSrth by our fiouthern friends to be fejiot dovfn in the outposts this controversy." Well, Sir. in ref^n'ce to that matter I have tfiift t6 say; iT I anS shot .down in this controverty upon the outposts, St will he an honorable death. It will be a post tif honor, and it wilt be <i death inet in defence 'of the outpfcsts of the Oinsiitfifcion ; and 1 will >ay to tli? geu'nenr.afc, ifl iTitj language of the poet of old, ' Dale* ft bfcorhm 'Ml pro patria mori." Hut God forbid tfiht I fcKould eVer be shot ?* a deserter, or tliot I ohouro lib cuptured, us t?? gentleman has IhicA, Wi the attempt to desert lite flag of my country. Pough-facesl nays the gentleman rrom Mnsaarhusetts. I am glad lie has given me the opportunity to declare upon this floor Mint the only men who, in this trying struggle, have to meet responsibility, are those men whom he is pleased denominate <l/mgh-faee?. Sir, the 111:111 who represent* a Southern constituency has an easy task to perforin in voting for tiny measure that navom of permitting the peculiar institution.? The m?i) who, like the gentleman from Massa'chusetU, represents th.il <Wo idea, crazy, irreclaimable lliHton f.inaiir^in, which worships in truth "?ti iilnlntruiis uVvtK" under the r.miie of liberty, h is an easy task to perforin in vojtinj against n measure. Hut tl'osc men whom ne has taunted with 11 want of moral cour.igc, with a want of faithfulness id the Constitution, with a want or liVrt*no?s, A Wfnis <W rrtc are the the only conservative men in th.is national council, and who are in danger of being trronnd to wdc, between the t\Vo extremes. Ill does it become that gentleman to talk to me of crouch Sng to Southern men, and of pandering to the Vices and peculiarities of Southern society. That gentleman made a statement here which \ brand n* nntruA Tl.n.* J..?.i..r..u . I... ? ? Into this hall nnd say one thing. while tliey Itreacli another story to thteir constituent.-?. Sir, F the gentlctn tn will g<J to my district nnd read the newspaper* of his 0W11 party at this hour, Ike will timi itial tlit:y are publishing that IHlich iH in substance true?that 1 said in the presence bf many of my oortsMMf.nts, upon a temporary Visit to my own Slate, that " il every stump in rtaiisa* were a negro, every tree upon her soil a slave-driver, nnd every twig upon the trees a lash to scourge a iieuro to his daily toil, I would vote for the admission of KiiiisiI.h tinder the Lecbmpton Constitution, to prcserVe the peace of the whole country;*' and if my constituents did not like it, and would let me knew it, 1 would t'caign. There -are thos* within the sound of my voice who heard me mako that declaration, and 1 have yet to hear from my constituents that Ihey disapprove of my sentiments or my course. Without going into detail, and discussing or expressing tho snntinienls of the Democracy of Indiana, which, in my opinion, have been somewhat misrepresented upon this flour, 1 undertake to my, that th jugh divisions may distract my tfbnsiitueuls, nine-tenths of the Democracy of tny district will lie found to endorse the course 1 have takeu upon this floor. Let me avail myself of this occasion to say that, come what may, 1 intend to submit my conduct to the verdict of my constituency, although ii a district which war represented in the laRt Congrcits by any opposition member. I intend to face the music on lliis question. Those who lave represented thin I expect to take anv other fcourse, Utile know me. 1 will come buck to thin Hull approved, endorsed, sustained by my conatituency, or I will go to private life, consoling fhy*elf with the reflection that? "Truth crushed to earth will ria?* again"? and with the further reflection that if this country is to be again cursed with a Black Republican majority in this Hall, "When vice prevails, and impious men bear iway, The poat of honor is a private station." A word or two more in regard to the noisy partisan from Massach'tlScU#. Ill do't'g ?t litfc'nme that mauto say that the Northern men who atand here in defence of this Administration are inconsistent, while in tWe nrvi lin aili ln> ilisn. ow? all claims to cc'rfrflstency, and says tliut he goes for the Crittoriden amendment, his antecedents to the conlraiy notwithstanding. He disaftTOWs all claims lo constituency, and goes blindly for the purpose of defeating the Democratic party. What is his Ingte fc'rt .thissubject? Why. thmt the Crittenden ftrrfcridrrfent is ?Ko 6ria"?est mode of making Kansas a free State. lie talks about nailing aoctrines arid nailing parties. It is a very easy matter to nail him, on this occa?iou, to the counter, like a brfc'fc counterfeit as he The Chairman.?The gentleman nu/si remember that it is not in order to indulge iu |/eruon'alitie? on the ftoor of the House. Mr. Hughes.?Politically speaking. I speak ?n a Pickwickian ana pariimentary sense. He says it is the best mode of making Kansas a free Slate. Therein, sir, lies nil his stutemanship on 41.:- : c..?. .1.:. ? - ? Mil* ^urgviuu. UlliUO lllto (|UCHHUn WR8 H^liaieU before the masses, ah authoritative exposition of constitutional law has been promulgated from this Capitol?front iNe h'igh'jst constitutional authority?from that ortfcle of the Constitution, which I intend to respect nna to obey as long as ft beneficent Government spreads titn^nd mo its protection, its Constitution And its lawn, protecting all, .in helpless infancy and in mature ft'ge, fu all the rights of person and of property. That ftxpreMion says that the Constitution of the United State*, propria vigore, carries slavery into the Territory. That is a new reading to people ?a the West, because, as I have frankly said on this floor on a former occasion, wo ndvocated the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. Stare decisis is fty motto as a lawyer and u citizen; and standing by the decision that while the Terrritory reMains in a territorial condition it is slave territory, amd thfat Southern men may carry their slaves there, are not the friends of freedom emphatically (ftose who desire to hasten this Territory into the irterhood of States, and to clotho it# pooide with all the power of sovereignty, bo that thoy may regulate and form their domestic institutions in their own wnyl In other words, if Kansas is to rein^n a Territory, it is a slave Territory; and it# coning in as a State under the Lecoroptou or any other cons'itution is the shorest and only method by which it can be made a free Slate, if it is the pleasure of the people there that it should bfe a free St'iile. The best enabling act for Kansas ia to'admit her into this Union. I do not stand on freti'Sfitte or slave State, but I am ouly answering tlie logic of the gentleman from Massachusetts. He rttys that to remand this question to tha people, t-V Arrow it all ugain into chaos and confusion, to re-ojiifit Agitation and strife, and to may the emigrant .-fit!' scfc^fff.y mint against the border ruffian, is the sliortesi aud easiest way of Asking Kansas a free State. Sir, I deny it I can imagine another motive and another ground for thi? facile clihtf'ge of frout amongst mot-e who, ot late, rang out throughout tHe country, 'times demand and we must have an mriti-fluvery God." I cun account for this auddgri1 change. It is, perhaps, the shortest road M" fltte d'dfcat of the Democratic party. It is, periapt, ihto shortest road to the dissolution of this Union, of which those who burn the Bible and tHfe Constitution onco a year in Massachusetts Mare infamously prayed for, ?'lo theee many yeara." I would aay to that gentternfciy in reply to hie argument, that instead of standing by him this day in favor of anti-slavery Bifilb and an initial* very Constitution, I stand with tlib lale SenaUr from thfe State of Indiana.

Let the " Douglas Democrats" take no I 'lice of the prediction, and consider Within themselves what shuro they are to haV'o in the feast.

Ill sporting phrase, ho let dAWn. lie was anxious to sustain Ins character as an extempore speaker, but li\fc Sneinory failed him and ho broke dowrt. I did 'not hear hi* speech at the capital of thy Slute; but 1 recollect bearing and seeing iS the newspapers that he told the pei?ple to " rally ronnd the mighty Giddings;" ijut the people 'could not swallow it. The gentlcirtnn repeated the'old eulogy to-day. Yes, sir, a YAan is known by the company he keep*. This new defender <$T the Constitution, thus Uniort-YrtVer, this man vino objects to Southern men talking about a dissolution of the UnKill, is at his old game, eulogizing the gentleman from Ohio, who, in the convention which nominated Male and Julian, gave ntlcraiice to the following burst of constitutional and Unicn-loving patriotism: "Mr. OicMT ngs did not believe there .was one man pVofessing to be a Froesoiler, in ill is city, ...i?? 1....I :-I ? -r . .. .. iiv mill IMIJ luca Ul even lOOKlUg DOCK to the mass 'of corruption to lie found in the old parlies. He believed and AsaerU-il that thoso who slew Gorettcli were the most cliiuiviit protector* of our Constitution now living. He would assert such doctrine everywhere, hut he was not ready to plune such doctrine in the platform. He demanded the repeal of the law, (fugitive slave I Aw,) hut friend Smith is opposed to asking for its \'f>penl. I lltiVe helped off as many Jerrys as he has ; and I have told a fugitive, when pursued by the slave-catcher, to t<liool liitti down; and have put (lie pistol in his hand. 1 then told the slave-catcher to lake him, liut he did not wish to run any rifh; on that Jx>int, for I believe the fugitive would have shot him." We have here, as the eulogist of this member froni Ohio, a member from Massachusetts, a State wlier? Kalloch preaches, and where a man 19 eleclen Governor who goes into the canvass oi State nftairs gravely declaring that he is in favor "of the admission of Kansas with her own charter of freedom." This is the defender of the Constitution, from Massachusetts. He is going to exlcrminnle dough faces. I tell both him and the gentleman from Illinois, who expected to see me shot down at the outposts in this contest, that when this race of dough-faces is exterminated, the Constitution of this country and th?? Union ol these Slates are at an end. Then the gentleman Irom Massachusetts will have have an opportunity of being confronted with these Southern men, and I hope that he will behave himself belter than he did on a certain memorable occasion that has passed. OCEAN STEAM MAIL*ROUTES BETAKEN ftlE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE. Washington, April 22, 1858.?Mr. Florence, ol PennsyIvitniu, has given notice of tils intention to introduce a bill to establish certain ocean post routes between the United States and Europe, and to regulate the transportation of the mail! thereon, mid to redifce the expenses thereof. The features of the contemplated net are peculiar. The operation of it is general in its nature, totally ignoring private contacts, and will, if it becomes u law, place our ocertn mail service on the same basis as the island service; and ultimatum of the bill is, that while it provides for five lines of steamers to Europe from different points of the United States, it reduces the expenses of the ocean mail scrvice to the rimount oi postage carried, and it is believed that there will be a revenue to the United Stales Irotn the service under the bill. The lines to be established are HoiitC No. t; Philadelphia to Southampton. Route No. 2, New York via Southampton t< Iluvre. Route No. 3, New York to Gluckstadt, vit Plymouth, Havre and Rotter Jam. Route No. 4: Now Orleans via Il&vaua, Bur mnda, Foyul, Soutander to Bordeaux. Routo No. 5, Norfolk to Nantes. The bill further provides that the compeusatioi to be paid to each line shall be at the rate of tw< dollars per mile, ntid the tonnage of the stoame is rit 2;0'J0 tons, and the speed at uotless thai tea miles per hour. There is also provision fo the infliction of fine an'9 penalties for failures t< depart from, and arrive at the time designated ii the schedule by the Pcrsttrffice Department. It proVidcs also (hat all letters going out o ftoWing into the United States shall passthroug! the I'oat office, and regular rates 6f pontage to bi chnrged thereon ; and that the poetage so collec ted, shall be credited to the Ocean Mail Service The contract pay per Annum to the five line will be The estimated receipts fror postages, based upon' the actual receipts of 185 will be {809,850. And it is considered beyond doubt that there will be gradual increase of th sjm received. < ? Atlantic Telegraph?Haw Many Word* pe Hour?In an article in the London Times, upo the subject of the repetition of the effort to b made this summer to lay the Atlantic Telegrapl an allusion' fa made to the exporiments whic l i.?ji invo aiicuuj uocu l.lttue IO leBL IQ6 rapidity Wit wliich messages can be li'anitfritted through th 2,200 milex of cable, and to the results. We ei tract the following upon that subject: Mostof those acquainted with the first effort which were made to send messages through th entire length of the cable, know that the retard ing influence, or whatever other names electri ciaus may now choose to call it, wliich exists i a very long conductor, exercised a most seriou influence upon the rapidity with which it wo found possible to transmit words through the fu extent of the wire. Constant experiments, join ed with practical skill in working the wiredailj have enabled Mr. Whitehouso to overcome s< much of this resistance, th'aC ftve words per mill ut4 can.rVotf) be rfent through the 2,200 miles o enisle at present at Key Imm, and it is fully expec ted thai before the time comes for its secom subinerg?rnent, eight words will be trai jro:ttei with ease and certainty. To many of our rea ders unacquainted with the practical workin o! submarine lines, only eight worth per minut may appear to be but a pboi^ result, after all though we can ussure them ih&t, if ever attain ed, it is such an improvement in the rale of (rant missions as not many ventured to anticipate wh saw the cable worked for the first time last sum mcr. At the same time such a result 4e?ma t show, with grent clearness, that, though 4B< words per hour through this line, if it is success fully laid down, might doubtless amply remuue rate the company, it would still be almost as fa as ever from accommodating the business mei sages'lidtween Europe and the New World. Ii therefore, tliib" line is submerged this summer, i will follow, as r it)utter of course, that three o four others must'b1S laid as well, and there seem i no reason why, if one dan be laid down, ther should not be as many telegraphs under the Al lantic as there is now un'der the channel.

" He may not be "golden mouthed," but he is true ' to the SouthL an4 particularly to South Carolina: ' he may not be the "Cicero of America," but he 1 a is the picture of patriotism; he may not be a "Sage or an "Orator," but he is sincere and ' ' sound.

Last year, for the amusement of iiiy children, I prepared and fixed upon a pole some gourds for the accommodation of these little songsters, for which iu a few hours they ampler .paid us with their cheerful 1 conccrls. By accident I placed the pole near the Etiiokc,house, and for the want of suitable ' boxes 1 did not pack up inv bacon to prevent flies from troubling it., as I had done before for years. ' During t lie spring and summer I heard no complaint about, skippers, hairy-worms and other pests of the bacon..
