1J7In I've Senate, Dec. %, Walker of Wis
consin, introduced q resolution rendering to Fa-
Their Mathew 4 scat within the bar of the Senate
This was mounted at once BY southern nieiabcrs
and opposed on the ground that Father Mathew
was an abotionist, or had sympathy with the alb
olitiorists Jefferson Davis, was in favor, not
only of keeping foreign aboitionists off the floor
Of the Senate; but if he had the power, he would
cxpei all domestic ones. John p. Hale, thought
Father Mathew had not enough aboitionisrn to
hurt him nor any one else. II his aboK;ionisn
was the ground on which the privilege to sit
within the bar was to be withheld or granted, he
should vote against him, for a reason however,
very opposite 10 that Of NJ. Davis. But he
should vote for the resolution on other grounds.
Clay, Walker, ard others, continued the discus
sion, and after nsing up day or two, the resolu-
ton was adopted by handsome majority.

machinery of government, and the destiny oil
the people composing the nation, is assumed to
be dependant on this form and machinery. Yet
the form is merely the outgrowth of the popular
percepton-merely the embodiament of the po-
pular mind and heart-and Instead Of the multi
tude being in any respect Deepen lant upon these
forms for their prosperity or adversely, the form
exists in view of their perceptions, and changes
just as their.percoPtions change. Thus, we have
a republican government from the republican
heart of the people and we have IN union be-
tween the states, from the fraternai character of
that popular heart. Now, does any one suppose
that this popular perception can be at once dar-
kencd, or that this raternal popular heart can at
lose its character, and responsiveness and hate
once take its place. Those who believe in the
progressive character of the human mind can en-
terrain no such opinion. What is the use then
of wasting all these words about our glorious un-
ion and nduging in prophetic lamentations over
its downfall il any one supposes that our go
vernmcnt and union are the very quintesscence
VI al "l2"Olii, III Oul opllIolI, tnty arc IlISldheH
There is yet something to be leaned. We have
just commenced learning the lesson of republi-
canism, and by-and-by we shall have ideas OF the
rights of man that we do not yet dream of; and
although our union may now be pretty well up
to all VIC know, we will doubtless some day find
it to be very cold bond compared with that
which shonldexis between brethren of the same
nation Our government then will need change
and our union will need dissolution but unless
the national mind is to retrograde instead OF pro-
grcss.it is unphilosophica to suppose our govern
ment can be changed or our union dissolved, ex-
ccpt to create better government and establish
a closer andm fraternal bond of union.

swer at the next Court of Quarter Sessions.
In the evening, Mr.. Taylor came before
the Court, and made information against the
slaves, as participants and abottors In the
riot, on which the slaves were committed,
and they are now in jail.
There is no doubt that on Tuesday next
TO which day the Court stands adjourned, a
writ of habeas corpus will be issued, on
which the slaves will be heard, and if Iber-
ated on bail, we may expect another tumult
The uproar and excitement during the day
were very great, and the Judge Of the Court
thought il advisable TO cnll upon Gen. Seller
for volunteers, who promptly obeyed the or
der, and had, in very short time sufficient
number of able bodied men under his com
mand, with muskcts and bayonets fixed, TO
disperse the mob, principally composed Of
colorod men aud women, from the front Of
the iuil. All is quiet now, but fear the
worst is not over, as the owners seem to be-
determined to reclaim their property at all
hazards.

SLAVE INsURREcTIoN IN ALABAMA.-The
Columbus Times learns by a telegraphc
dispatch from Montgomery, Alabama, that
an insurrection in which 400 negroes were
engaged, had taken place in Lowndes coun-
ty, in that State. Fortunately the plot was
divulged before the insurrectionists had time
to accomplish their plans; the rendezvous of
negroes was discovered by the whites, who
fired upon them, killing one and wounding
twenty of their number, when the party
dispersed A large number of prisoners
were taken.
The Savannah Morning News, of the
10Th inst, publishes the above, and adds;
"A gentleman who arrived from the
West, in the cars of last night, confirms the
above report, and informs us that very
great excitement prevailed in that sec
ton. The slaves had been melted to in
surrection by an abolitionist, for whose
apprehension reward of $4,000 had been
offered. A number of persons were in pur-
suit of him, and it was believed he would be
taken. 1t was reported that he had taken the
route to Charleston, by way of Augusta"

ii. G.. WRIGHT, PARKER PILLsBURY and
ABBY Foster have been spending two days
in Cleveland. The best part of this time
they have given to their cause with an eur
nestness and ability which characterize low
ers and defenders of truth.
Yesterday afternoon the Freesoilers were
boldly dealt with, and their conduct frankly
examined. All right. The great principles
of truth demand the closest investigation,
and whatever is false or feeble in every par
ty sould be fearlessly exposed. One thing is
certain, no thoughtful man can listen to these
able speakers without feeling that they are
master spirits, and having all his faculties
tasked TO meet their objections.
One thing we must disclaim. ABBY Fos-
TER charged us with speaking sneeringly of
her and her coadjutors. Not so! Not SO !!
We have never done that never countenan-
ced those who have done it. This, however,
should be borne in mind, that whenever they
arc to speak, some friend ought to give us
notice Of the fact, and then we should be as
ready to aid them in securing full meetings,
as we would our own friends Cleveland

it is right to use in resisting tyranny in any

the execution ofsuch penalties.

First Annual Report ofhe Rocky RiUer .d''h-
Slavery Society. Presented al Litclfeid,
August 1S, 1850.
This Society was organized, Dec. l6, l949.
Persons sympathizing with the Western and
American Auti-Slavery Societies, TO which
this is an auxiliary, were few at this time in
this locality hence our operations have been
confined in great measure to the first pre-
sentation of our views, in doing which we
have had to contend against the prejudces
of pro-slavery political parties, and persecu-
tons of pharisaical pro-slavery Churches
Our principles have been misrepresented, our
lecturers malgned, and ourselves ridiculed
as visionary fanatics, seeking only the des-
uuction of all that is valuable in Religion
and morals and government.
Yet opposers have been unable to divert
us from our object, the destruction of Ameri-
can Slavery. We have continued to labor
to undo the heavy burdens and let the OPP
pressed go free To awaken interest on this
subject, faithfully TO present our opinions of
the enormity of American Slavery and point
out the way for its destruction, the Society
have employed during about six months since
its organization James w. Walker, who has
lectured in the following townships: Rich
field, Bricksville, Hinckley, Granger, Bcreo,
Columbia, Brunswick, Litchfield, Grafton,
Saville, Wostfeld, Troy, Sullivan, Hunting
ton, Wellington, Spencer, Fitchville, Harris
vile, Weymouth, Sharon and Royalton; stri-
king for Liberty and Universal Emancipa-
ton, greatly to the agitation of all pro-slave-
ry influences. Mr.. Walker commenced his
lubors here short time previous to our Or
ganzation, under pledges from an associa-
ton, which have been passed over to this
Society for collection.
Our plans for future action are not yet ma
tured. AT this meeting we hope TO enter
into arrangements for more vigorous pro-
secution of the great work before us. Yet
encouraged by almost unprecedented success
in the efforts we have already put forth, we
are confidently prepared TO announce our
uncompromising hostility to every influence
in Church or State, which hinders the over
throw of American Slavery, and our fixed
determination always to labor for its destruc
ton. G. S. S. GRIFFING, Secretary

Importation of brandy, which like in all periods Of
panic was not only provided for present but for
future emergency There has slso been in the quar-
ter just ended very little corn Importation, and the
sugar duties yield less and less xpected aud
intended. With these exceptions the foresn trade
continues In most active and prosperous condition.
The brick dr. Ies repealed last session yielded when

bricks were manufactured In summer and the

this tax will OF be strongly felt in com parison
Of the excise with the quarter OF last year when the

rue for the quarter ending last with which the
present Ia compared, more than usually produc-
tive contrasted favoraby with the quarters OF October
1913 and lsi7 subtracting the repealed duty on
bricks the other items OF excise revenue yield more
than an average receipt
The stamps will also show a decrease as compared
with the unusually active quarter OF last year when
trade bad just recovered its previous depression and
when the dealers in stamps had been increasing their
stocks for the purpose OF avsipg themselves Of the
advantage OF the expected back. This year on
the contrary every is waiting for the and
duced scale OF stamp duties, which comes into opera
ton this week.
The other smaller items continue much the sans

accustomed buoyancy
There is nothing in this state of things that has not
been fully provided for and expected The excise has
already in come sort, made by other items for the
total repeal of the brick duties which relaxed
