The Debate in The Senate,

Which we give in this weeks paper, though
long, will well repay an attentive perusal.-
The re-capture of the soventy-siX lugitives,
out of which 1t indirectly grew, will nnqnes-
tionably do much to hasten on the day when
the great and final battle between Slavery and
Freedom shall be fought in this land. The
leaders of the South have long seen the cri-
sis-which to them comes clothed in terror
SLOWLY but steadily approaching. They
have fought against it with an earnestness
and devotion worthy of a better cause, but
their efforts to retard its advances have been
in vain. Their day of power has gone by,
and they have been made to feel their own
impotency. As the chains of party and of
sect become weaker and weaker, man becomes
more noble, more free himself, and more rea-
dy to make others free. 1t is true, the great
majority are yet too much governed by con-
siderations of expediency-by policy rather
than principle; but amid the mass Of crum-
bling rubbish by which they are surrounded,
can be seen the struggling Of the spirit after
better things.
But we had a word to say about the de-
bate-about the development of character
and position it presents of some who engaged
in it. John p. Hale, who introduced the
bill, which under the circumstances the South
regarded as SO offensive, declares that he has
not, and does not intend to advise or aid in
any encroachment upon the Constitution in
any of its provisions or compromises. If we
do nor%Nmisapprehend his views of the charac-
ter Of the United States Constitution, he re-
CARDS it as a pro-slavery document, as one in
which compromises are made to the spirit of
slavery. But so great is his veneration for
