MIR. DOBBIN'S SPEECH.

On Monday last the Commons went into Com
,uitiee of the Whole, Mr.. Jones of Orange in the
Chair, the subject under consideration being the Re-
ports and Resolutions OIL Slavery. Mr.. Speaker Dob
bin took the floor and enchanted the large audience in
attendance, of both sexes for than an hour in
a most able and mastery vindication of Southern
rights and of the Union, according to the Constltu-
,ion' Mr. Dobbn spoke in the most fervid strains of
the value of the Union, and of the immense benefits 1t
had conferred upon the States and it was Liis Union
which he sought, by to first principles
and by firm stand for the rights of the States, to
uphold and perpetuate. He took the ground boldly
that the States soyeregn-that they have right
Judge of nfractons Of the Constitution, and of the
mode and measure of redress-in a word that State
in the last resort, has the right to secede from the
Union and take of her own interests and honor.
He read from Jefferson, Madison. Pendleton, and Md
CON- in support of his position, and he established his
sition, beyond all crvi gu +stion.
1t was the Speech of statesman.
Mr.. Dobbn was Intercepted, in the course Of his
remarks, by Mr.. Rayner, and Mr. Barnes Of North
ampton, took issue with him and said he should speak
hereafter in reply. MIR. Dobbn answered MIR. Ray
ner so conclusiyey and with much humor that he
q allied down the House ~ and made the Hobbies ring
with applause. MIR. Rayner, we imagine, will not
question Mr.. Dobbin again soon.

n, Fridav. in the Commons, Mr. Avery spoke at
some length on the Slavery question ana In support
of the Minority Report and the right OF secession.
IN Saturday, William Eaton, JF. Esq. of Warren,
,ooL the floor and delivered an able argument on the
..re question. We did not have the pleasure OF
L..r;nq Mr.. Eaton, but learn that he differed with
tho minority of the Committee of Eighteen and
tended against the doctrine of secession as Constit
,;ouaI doctrine. Our Reporter has not attempted a
.tetch of Mr. Eaton's remarks, as he supposed they
,ropld be written out by the speaker himself. We
hone he will do so. 1t will give us pleasure to lay
his remarks before our readers.
twill be seen, by reference to the proceedings
m Friday and Saturday, that Mr.. Erwins anti-Pro-
tective Resolutions have passed the Commons Mr.
Ravuer made strong efforts to defeat them but they
seemed to gather strength from his opposition, and
thew at length went through Ikea Storm The whole
thing was nobIy done. Mr.. Erwin evinced much
tact and frmness the occasion; and Mr.. Steele
stood by him with his accustomed candor and deter
,nination. See the sketch given of the debate by
our Reporter.
In the Senate, on Monday, the morning hours were
taken I'D in voting for Councillors of State and in
reading bills; and in the evening-Mr Cameron in
tho Cbair-Mr w ood6n took the floor and commenc-
ed an argument the Slavery question. Before he
