'of this g?i?l1<*?fthti,xleliveiT?d in the House of Hep*
Veseutativos, in reply to the remarks of Mr.

, " I snid this was not tl?o first time tli'is tiling

in reference to myself, some dnvs ago, in

that matter I have tfiift t6 say; iT I anS shot

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.?

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

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

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

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

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. [Mr1, fettil,] wHc

that he told the pei?ple to " rally ronnd the

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,

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

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.

"Having touched oil this point, 1 ought, pcraps,
to add, that if IheVe are any members in

link it iinmorttl nml irreligious to join in putling

hocks on population ; read Malthus. What

INSTRUCTIONS TO MR. REED.
In comp'iance with a Resolution of (lie Senate
lie Secretary has communicated lo tliut body tin
nstructions given to Mr. Rf.ki?, our Commissionei
o China, of which the following is a synopsis
The Sccrctary of State pays that the object
vhich it is understood the English and Frencl
illics seek lo accomplish by treaty stipulaiiom
villi China, arc: First, lo procure from llieChi*
iese government a recognition of the rights o
ither powers to have accredited ministers al tin
sourt of I'ekin, lo ho received by the Emporoi
iiid to be in communication with the authoritiei
:hargud witli the foreign affairs of the Empire
Second, an extension of commercial intercourse
villi China, which is now restricted to five ppri
numerated in the Ircnly ; and third, areduclici
if the tariff of duties levied upon donu-mic pro
luce in its transit from the interior to the coast
is the amount now enforced is said to be a viola
ion of tfis treaty.
On this subject the Secretary says Mr. Ree<
will be able to ascertain the true state of the a!
ieged grievance when lie shall have reach e.<
Uhina, and act accordingly. Fourth, a stipula
lion far religious freedom to all foreign resident
in China. Fifth, an arranjjemcut for the suppres
sion of piracy. Sixth, provision for extending th
benefits of the proposed treaty to all the othe
civilizctf powers of the earth.
These objects, the Secretary of State adds, nr
recognized by the President as just and expedient
an'd so faf as he (Mr. Reed) can do so by pcace
iui co-operation, tne i'resident expects liim toai
in their accomplishment. In conformity wit
this policy, lie is to communicate frankly wit
the lirituh and French Ministers upon all th
points' of common interest, so that it may be dis
tinctly understood that tlio throe nations ar
equally influenced hy a determination to obtai
justice, and by a desire to procure thereby ui
rangements for the extension and.more ndcquat
protection of their commercial intercourse wit
China. "Rut on your side, the Secretary sayt
"these effofta must be confined to firm represen
tations appealing to the justice and policy of th
Chinese authorities, and leaving your own go*
ernment to determine upon the course lo b
adopted sho'uTd yonr representations be fruitless
Special reference is made tpyourcomrnunicatio
to the Ministers of Great Britain and France
not only-from our common interests with thes
nations in l'ie trude of China, and in the meau
suggested for its extension, but because the;
alone, among the great powers of the world, hav
diplomatic representatives at Canton."
Mr. Reed is also authorized to communiciit
with the Russian Minister, as far ns practicable
upon all the subjects of uutic^nal concern ; an
Bhouid bis di*|>oqition prove favorable, as ii, is be
lieved it will,' fits co-operation may be highly n?
vantageous in promoting the objects of Mr. Reed
mission.
Mr. Reed is instructed constantly lo boar i
mind that the United States is not at war wit
the government of China, nor does this countr
aeek to enter that empire for uny other purpose
than those of lawful commerce. a'n<f for the nrn
lection of the lives and property of its^uitizeni
The whole nature aud policy olf our govemmei
mUst neucedsarily coniiriQ our action within th'es
limits, and deprive us of nil motive* either fo
lawful aggrandizement or the acquisition of po
litical power in that distant region. Mr. Ree
is further instructed to let it be known to the Oh
ne?e authorities that xre are no party to th e>
iating hostilities.

It is llic impression of ft good mnny th&tfhe article

The Black Martin.?Mr. Editor: Through
the ccilunins of your widespread and useful paper,
allow rue to communicate to lis renders an
important fact iu relation to tlie above named
little birds. It is generally known that during
their incubation they serve a valuable purpose in
chasing away tlio hawks from the poultry yards;
luit 1 have good reasons to believe they arc abundantly
more valuable in preserving bacon from
the skipper tly und all other winged insects that
infest our smoke houses during the spring and
summer mouths in this climate. 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.. My vifc remarked that she
had n'Jt ,bccn troubled with any of these thinge
during the year, still wo did not know how. to rtc'
count for this singular exemption; but in tlic fall
' the storm blew down niy pol^ and._gou.fds, and
revealed to me the secret, f>.*r in each gourd thferc
' was from one-half to a pint of indigestible llyskiits?the

am I of their great utility, that I never expect
