violent federal sheets in Cincinnati,upon
his speech. The Atlas says:
"But the most triumphant and elo-
quent part of Mr.. Bebb's effort was his
remarks upon the Black Laws and Sla-
very. He avowed himself an antl-sla-
very man, and in faror of The uncondi-
iional repeal of the ,chole black code Of
Ohio. He Indignantly spurned the
charge that he would not dare to speak
the sentiments here he had uttered on
the lake shore. His triumph was mo st
complete, and was received by the
multitude with loud and prolonged
cheers. We have never seen better
effect produced by any speaker"
The Cincinnati Herald, the organ of
the abolitionis,s, in this State, in speak
ing of his speech says:
"On the subject Of Slavery and the
Black Laws, MIR. Bebb was just and
eloquent. Whatever we may have
said in our paper, calculated in any
way to convey the impression that he
IS not sincerely hostile to the Black
Laws, FIVE have said anything Of the
kind, we take pleasure in publicly re-
tracing. y
Mr.. Bebb is evidently anxious to be
thought an anti-slauery man, and 're
shall not deny his claim to the title"
1t should be remembered that the
Herald has heretofore been endeavor-
ing to show that Mr.. Bebb was not
sincere IN his abolition views, but was
only making his speeches in the North
for the purpose of gulling the Liberty
party. and getting their votes. But
the Herald is soon satisfied that he is
sincere. He is "evidently anxious to
be thought an anti-savery man" and
the Herald will no longer "deny his
claim to the title. He is, says the At
las, Sin favor of the unconditional re-
peal of the whole black CODE"

WILMor, Of Pennsylvania, the only rep.
resentative from that State who voted
for the Tariff lin short, a straight.
forward and unAinching democrat. -
The substance ofthis amendment was,
that neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude should be allowed in any ter
rltory which might be acquired in the
negotiation. And this amendment pre-
vailed by handsome majority, and the
bill, as amended, passed the House, and
was sent up to the Senate. 1t was a
just and righteous amendment-impos- s.
ing precisely the terms upon which
this territory will be incorporated into
the Union, if acquired at ALA con-
clusion as fixed and inevitable as fate.
Well, this bill came up in the Senate,
but short time before the hour fixed
for final adjournment, and when every
mans mind was made up and no ne
cessity for speechmaking. A motion
was mode 10y Mr.. JENNEss, of New
Hampshire,) to strike out the amend
ment of Mr.. WlLMoNT. 1t might or
might not have prevailed, but if strick-
en- out in the Senate the House would
unquestionably, have insisted, and in
the disagreement of the two branches,
and the stress of the moment, the Sen
ate must have receded. But it was not
alIo wed 10 come to this struggle. The
moment that the bill was taken up in
the Senate, Davis-"honest John Da-
Wis" of Massachusetts--took ok the floor,
and absolutely talked the bill to death,
by consuming the brief hour Of time
which remained of the session. He re-
fused TO give way to motion TO defer
the hour OF adjournmcnt,- by formed
determinations paltry plot he held
the foor-and talked and talked against
time, until he had consumed every min
ute OF it.
Thus, then, the bill iled,-and upon
the head Of this whig senator and his
abettors; the whole whig phaanx Of
the Senate,-be the responsibility.
The wings may clamor as much as
they please about the expensiveness Of
the war, and the accumulation of debt;
these are precisely what they want
precisely the reasons why this peace
bill has been defeated. Out of ma
tional debt grows the necessity for a
high tariif-and the harvest Of all who
profit by Government bonuses and
speculate upon Governmentnecessl
1t leaves this matter of the aquisition Of
slave territory an open question, a con-
venient partizan subject 10 keep up
clamor about. In short, just in pro-

vantage of this country and the admin.
istration to adjust the war, upon the
footing of the honorable terms propos-

and party advantage Of the wings TO
prevent it, and their insidious and cor
rupt course, for the time being, has
succeeded.

Mr.. Bebb and the Black Laws

Mr.. Bebb, the wbig candidate for
Governor, recently made speech in
the fifth street market house, Cincinna-
ii. Itwas supposed that he would con-
fine his remarks on the Black Laws to
the Northern and Eastern parts of the
State, but at Cincinnati, it seems he
took such broad ground on the abolition
question and those arising out of it, as
almost to push the abolition candidate
off the track. He came out boldly in
favor of the total and unconditional re-
peal of the whole black code of Ohio

From the Cincinnati AdvertiSer.
The Peace Bill.

Every one must remember what q
clamor was raised by the opposition
presses and parlizans, instant y upon
the breaking out of the war with Mex
leo. The administration was declared
TO be responsible for all the blood which
might be split, and the treasure that
might be exhausted in carrying it on.
1t was called war Of conquest, plum
der and injustice, the only object of
which was to acquire more territory
for the Strengthening of the slave hold
ing section Of the Union. The South; ;
the scare-crow south--as usual, was
held up and denounced, as the object
Of special adherence and opposition
by all northern and western men.
But within the last three weeks, as
is well known, a movement has been
made to put an end to the war by the
peaceful proceeds of negotiation. A
proposition to that effect, emanating
indirectly from Mexico; or from Eng
land, as the guarantee Of Mexico, was
laid by the President before the Senate,
and their concurrence was given, by
the passage Of the following resolu-
| tions:
1st. Resolved That the Senate en-
tertain strong desire that the existing
war with Mexico should be terminated
by treaty Of peace, just and honora-
BILE to both nations, and that the Presi-
dent be advised to adopt all proper
measures for the attainment Of that OBJ
ject.
Cd. Resolved further, That the SEN
ate deem 1t advisable that Congress
should appropriate a SUM of money to
enable the President to conclude a
treaty Of peace, limits, and boundaries
with the republic of Mexico, and to be
used by him in the event that such
treaty should call for the expenditure
Of the money SO appropriated, or any
part thereof.
To facilitate their settlement Of peace,
a bill was introduced in the House, pur-
suant to the recommendation by mes
sage, Of the President himself, appro-
priating two millions of dollars, to be
used as rendered necessary in negotIat-
ing peace. These measures doubtless
looked TO the acquisition of California,
and clearly we can no otherwise be in
demniied ior the expenses of the war,
nor be secured in the repayment for
Mexican spoiations, than by taking
same portion of the Mexican territory.
1t is but anticipating, by few years,
the necessary order of events 10 do SO,
because the Anglo American race is
bound to occupy and possess the Cali
forniaD provinces, and to supersede the
miserable dynasty of Mexico with free
institutions. Bounding, as we then
should, for many degrees upon the Pa
cific, we should command the greatest
and richest trade in the world-that of
the East lndies--and should gather
from either ocean, and all countries, the
wealth Of boundless commerce.
The only possible objection TO the
acquisition of this territory, in the set
tIement ofthe present difficulties, grows
out Of the apprehension and assump-
ton, that it would tend to aggrandize
and strengthen the slave holding sec
tion. ae
Butan amendment, meeting precise
ly that objection aud doing away with
it, was moved in the House 10 this two
million Bill. 1t was moved by Mr.. J
