Governor Cleveland. Speech.

Governor CLEVELAND, of Connecticut, de
livered speech yesterday in the House of Re.
personalities, in Committee of the Whole, in
reply 10 his colleague, Mr.. lNGERsoLL. He
presented the Freesoil view of the Democratic
connection, and rated his "young friend" who
had just returned from Europe for misrepre-
sentng the position of himself and Mr.. RAN
rouL and the Northern Democracy Mr.
PREsTon KING, and the gentlemen who con-
lroled the action of the Democratic caucus,
looked on, and listened, and laughed with the
utmost complacency, while Governor CLEvE-
LAND demonstrated that the Compromise was
altogether a WING measure, for which Mr..
CLAY, Mr.. WEBSTER, Mr.. FILLMORE, and
General ScoTT, were alone responsible, and
with which the Democracy proper had moth
ing to do.
We think that it has never happened to us
TO listen TO a speech quite so coarse and i'll
hammered as this Of Governor CLEVELAND.
Ills personalities were in the last degree unjus
tfsble and ungentlemanly. His language was
of that nature which wounds and irritates,
without the remote possibility Of answering
any good purpose. 1t was addressed TO the PEG
pie Of the South, as il by a person commissioned
10 arraign the vices Of men fallen from grace,
aud who are inevitably destined to considera-
bly, worse place in the next world than is re-
served for Governor CLEVELAND and the Free
soilers. II assumed that Shareholders generally
are only fit for regions not 20 be named to Gears
polte;" and that Mr.. FILLMORE, and men who
have regard TO their constitutional obligations
on the subject of slavery, are miserable ''dough-
faces" who do violence TO their own feeling
and the sentiment Of their section"
The tone and temper of Governor CLEvE
LANp's speech were arrogant, bitter, and I'M
compromising. We confess that they seem tc
us entirely incompatible with any disposition
90 maintain the Constitution Of the States
Whatever regard for the Union men who en-
terrain such sentiments may profess, must b.
the holowest and talsest thing in the world
and they must be the basest and meanest O
hypocrltes TO pretend TO the slightest reverence,
or respect for an instrument which BINDS then
to obligations which they claim to repudatc anc
abhor.
We reserve what we may have further u
say Of this extraordinary speech till we see j
in print. II is to be hoped that the Democratic
centre, and the Secessionists, will profit by tn,
lesson that has been read them by their caucus
associate, and that the Union newspaper vii
take good care promptly to reconcile Governo
CLrvgLAsD's position with the integrity an,
harmony Of the DgMooRar,o party. and il
favorite theory that the DEMOCRACY alone cal
be trusted to "earry out the Compromise"

A s~eessious.t ON Secession.

We find in South Carolina papers a letter
addressed to one Of his constituents by Mr..
WOODWARD, member Of Congress from that
State, on the subject Of secession generally. and
with reference particularly to tho pending
Southen Rights Convention. Conlessing his
modification at what has taken place ia the
premises in the Palmetto State. he looks the
exgencies Of his friends fairly in the face. and
pronounces secession dead. 1t died, he says, in
May last, when immediate secession was
disavowed. "The proposition of future specu-
lative secession" he regards as " fit only To
produce dclusion )" and he is therefore opposed
to any proceeding that can have a tendency to
lead the people TO regard it as reality.
In the first place, Mr.. WOODWARD combais
the proposition that the convention, on the part
Of the State, shall recall Its Senators and Rep
resentatIves. After secession, he considers
"shere would be an obvious propriety and de-
corum in the act;" but before secession, and
with no prospect Of secession, it would be a
farce-"nost pernicious" in its results, and
Sin point Of constituiionality" "utterly indie.
feasible" He says on this point:
"Nor can IL he doubted tina, public opinion in our
sister statcs would be unanimous against us Oui
friends there, being in great measure held rcspon
sibe for acts, would feel that VIC had useless y
put upon them nm unreasonable responsibility
and that IT stood them in hand to be foremost Z,
reprobste nm net which IL would be in vein TO at
| tempt to Misunderstanding as constitutional or a.
revolutionary; for the act would not be more re-
puFnsnt 10 the Constitution than il would be unwor
thy Of the spirit Of revolution. The worst thing
that could bofall and our cause would be th,
doing OF some act which, instead Of nrousing tn
generous and manly sympatbies of our brethren il
other states would oblige all suspected Of having
syinpahzcd with us to rcpudiate with us, or b
repudiated themselves by their neighbors. There
are high considerations Of patriotism and states
mapship, obvious the minds Of all, why OUT Stat
should no, yet awhile seccdc from her southern sic
tcrs. And let NE pursuc such course as that non,
viii be able to dispute that we actustcd by
those high considerations. Let va not do Just q
much, and such sort Of things will make i
manifest 20 the world that abstsincd from doing
more only because were afraid. Let the State
scccdc or not sccedc, do what will touch the heart
Of men, or whatwill challenge the approval 0

and the officer replied that he had not done the act
w as there not danger Of a similar here. The
Senate about to ask the President his object in
sending out this expedition, and who knew that
such expedition had been ordered?
Mr.. WELLER said that, in the vote he should
give this resolution, he would differ from those
with whom he ordinarily acted, and should vote
with those with whom he generally differed. IL
any Senator would state that he bad any grounds for
supposing that the expedition had been ordered out
the country then he would vote for the resolution.
If no one would say this, he would vote against it.
II the call be made. and the President should say
that he cannot disclose the objects Of the expedi-
ton without danger to the interests of the nation,
then the world is advertised that the expedition
has some secret object, and will seek TO defeat it.
He supposed the great object to be to obtain access
to Japan, and TO increase and extend the CONNER
cial interests Of the country The restoration OF
the japanese, now for nearly year confined ON
board revenue-cutter, would greatly facilitate
this end He was opposed to the present Admins
tration, but he thought that, being placed in power
by the people, il was entitled to degree of con-
fidcnce, and that il could not be supposed to have
any other object in view than to promote the best
interests of the country. He hoped the resolution
would not pass.
Mr. GWIN said that with a view of having an
Executive session, ne hoped the resolution would
be postponed. He made that motion.
And the question being taken, the resolution was
postponed till to- norrOw-aycs %, noes 10.

OPERATION or TIE LlauoR LAW IN MAIsE.-Wc
have had several reports of the excellent operation
Of the liquor law in Maine, and the following case
ia respectfully submitted 20 the collectors OF those
statistics for information and record 1t is copied
from the Bath Tribune Of Tuesday:
"OrIirag eots.-I have been told Of the outrn &C.
Gus system OF espionage practiced in Portland, by
which packages of dry goods, &c, ON their way by
railroad through that city, have been broken open,
their contents oyerhaulsd, aud parcels torn, and
more or lees damaged. Yesterday I bad positive
evidence of this kind. large dealer in dry goods
in this city, a temperance man, and firm advo-
cate OF temperance, received by the morning train
large box OF valuable goods. II was evidently
packed with great care In Boston, and the box
strongly secured with iron hands. 1t contained
lnens, and other goods Of costly kind, and was
from the bouso OF j. NJ. Bebce * Co., Boston.
When il arrived at the merchants store, il was
evident il had been opened. The box nearly
broken in piece, bearing marks OF having been
opened by the force Of come heavy instrument.
The banda OF iron were torn of, and the box con-
fined together by means of some old rope lashcd

cntbusrnstc cniorccrs of the law at Portland, and
had undergone an examination worthy that OF the
most srict system of search, ss practised in the
dominops OF the nuocrats and tyrsnts OF Europe,
and ether countries. Now such proceedings are
outrageous Ia the extreme. II IL has come THE,

Perhaps IL may be ncccs,ary for our friends =,

"higbcr law" gcrtlcmen at Portland, either "a
obtain permits io their goods 10 ps,s through thai

A Convert.


The conversion Of Mr.. BRAaa, one Of the
Representatives Of Alabama, is chron,cled by
the Mobile HdUertiser, ON the authority of n
letter from that honorable gentleman. The
Advertiser, it seems, noted MIR. BRAGG's alb
sence from the division on Mr.. FIrCH's Com
promise resolution, whereupon the Representa-
i've from Mobile indted note explaining the
cause Of the non-appearanco Of his name in the
list, and giving an assurance that he will
"vote at all times against every proposition
that looks to the reopening in Congress of a
discussion OF the question of southern slave
ry." The Advertiser lacks to the decIars,on
some highly suggestive inquiries in connexion
with very flattering congratulations
''To readers in this district we desire to nsk
one simple question: Did not Judge Bragg. in his
speeches pending the canvass last GUNNER, pledge
himself that, if elected. he would move if nobody
else did, for the of the law abolishinc the
slave trade in the District of Columbia? Did he not
declare he never would submit quietly to that law,
but would continue to oppose it, and denounce il.
and war against it, until il should be driven from
the statute-book? Didn't he? Yet now he comes
completely over to the ground which his unsuc
ccssiul competitor occupied in the canvass, and
declares ne will vote against tuey proposition that
looks to the reopening in Congress of a discussion
OF the slavery question:! Good!
owe congratulate our political friends in this
district this partial conversion Of our Rcprcssn
taive to the policy Of the Union party
"In regard to our Southern Rights friends the
honest and consistent portion, at least-we cannot
but extend to them our very warm and cordial
feiieitations on the fidelity and constituency with
which their peculiar representative ia carrying out

This is safely said, for. according to Mr..
WooDwARD's confession. secession is an i'm
possibility in the present temper OF South Car
DINA. The occasion affords capital oppor-
UNITY Tor holding up the chivalric idea of
revolution, without the slightest personal risk
or inconvenience. We admire the candor with
which the Representative denounces The "po
litIcal quackeries" Of his constituents, but
must confess that his rebuke would have been
more creditabe to his discernment and patriot
ism twelve months ago. He is kicking what
he admits to be dead dog.

California Conventions--Ano Contrast.
We learn that the Wing State Convention
of California to nominate delegates to the Ma
tional Convention met at Sacramento city on
| the 18th, and adjourned on the 2lst of Febru-
airy. The delegates are VIM. FRANK STEW
ART, of Ell Dorado; JESSE o. GOODWIN, of
Yuba; j. H. CLAY MUDD, of San Francisco;
and RICHARD E. HErH, of San joaquin.
JOHN A. LYLE, of Trinity; ALFRED MORGAN,
of Calaveras; Benz. F. WHITTIER, of Mari
posa; and Judge DAVIS, of Yolo, are the alter.
mates. The delegates are uninstructed, and, it
is believed, uncommiited, as to the Presden-
tial candidate.
The following resolutions in support of the
Compromise were unanimously adopted:
"Rcsolved, That the series Of measures passed
during the last Congress, and known as the Com
promise measures. constitute adjustment of
conflicting sectional interests and opinions which
should not, under any circumstances, be dis
turbed and that il is the duty of every State and
every section to adhere honestly and constantly
to this settlement Of these various vcxed questions
"ResSaced. That it is especially the interest and
the duty of the people of the State Of California
ton which will tend to revive here, or in Congress-
an agitation now so happily allayed.
"Resoiosd, That these the fixed and defined
principles Of the Whig party Of California I'm re.
gard to these questions; and, as such, VIC expect
them to be acknowledged and vindicated by our
representatives in the National Convention.
"Resolpsd, That the delegates from California in
the National Convention be instructed to cast their
vote for candidate for President or Vice Pres
ident Of the United States who is not friend Of
the Compromise mcasures Of the last Congress,
and ardent supporter Of the preservation Of the
Union"
The Democratic Convention, held contem-
poraneously with that of the Wings, and in the
same city, separated without any endorsement
of the Compromise. Resolutions in support of
il, and in support also Of the EXTREMIST inter
vention doctrines, and Of the Presidential claims
of Judge DoUGLAs, were introduced, but with
drawn in consequence Of violent discussions in
the convention. Such is the concurrent tcsti-
mony of the accounts that have reached us by
the Crescent City"
| Will the Union be able in this instance 10
use the plea under which it took refuge in re
gard TO Virginia. Will it rest on the doctrine
of Democratic infallibility. and maintain that
the Democratic Convention Of California needed
no fresh declarations ia guaranice It's soundness

away free colored emigraDis. We are not
aware that any proposal of the character has
been contemp plated, either by States OF lndivd
uals. The Louisiana resolution suggests no.
thing Of the kind. 1t seeks help from Congress
IN behalf fa work quite as much entitled to aid
as majority OF the cases that have hitherto
received IT. Congress has already voted money
to defray expenses arising out OF the visits Of
individuals; it has RENTED import duties on
articles designed for works Of charity and reli-
glon; it has appropriated portions of its domain
to promote education, and to facilitate import
ant improvements; and they who solicit assist
ance to give an impetus to the colonization IN
Africa of free colorcd people, do SO on the
ground that 1t is movement pregnant with
The truest charity to the emigrans themselves,
while fraught with advantages to the country
at large.
But no one imagines that Congress should
be asked to bear the whole cost The weig htiest
share must fall ON individual States, whose
Legislatures may be expected to contribute in
proportion to the interest they respectively feel
in the object to be attained. New York and
Indiana have had before them measures con
nected with this subject; we have not learned
the result in either State, but we trust that the
ball. set in motion there, will roll both West
and South. The strong and growing tendency
that exists to prevent the immigration of free
negroes in particular States, and the DISPOSE
ton in others to expel those who have already
settled, are circumstances that invest this oues-
ton with considerations of overpowering i'm
portance. Humanity, and the common in
terest Of all sections of the Union, require that
something should be done, and that speedily, to
arrest the evil while it may be controlled.
The abolitionist advocate of an amalgamation
OF races may think otherwise but in this, as
in other instances, his opposition is one of
many evidences Of his hostility to the real
interests of his proteges, and of his erroneous,
unjust, and unjustifiable action in regard to the
rights and interests of the community
