out yesterday forenoon, making handsome
display. Captain Jones and his young men
show great proficiency in the drill and exer-

companies that ever carried musxets.

Mr.. Edmundson, during the present ses-
sion, interrupted Giddings in one of his
speeches, by approaching, and with men
acing air, challenged him to say that again ;
The Shaksperian retort Of the sturdy Eete-
ran IVES admirably telling. Shaking his
white head with excitement, stretching
forth his arm with indignant defiance, the
brave old giant exclaimed.

And make your bondmen trembie."
But don't come here. Whereupon Mr.
Edmundson returned to his seat. = =

THE GREAT DEBATE.

We print on another page the speech which Mr..
Seward Yesterday delivered in the Senate in favor
of the admission of Kansas as State of the Union.
We doubt not our readers will peruse it for them
selves; but if our commentator can afford any
stimulus for them to do So we will say that this
speech is characterized by the same calm states
mauthip, the same breadth and wisdom, and the
same felicity of style which have marked other
productions Of its author. Mr.. Seward, fortunate
as he is in many things, is especially fortunate in
the themes with which his name has become con-
nected. 1t was allotted to him TO advocate the ad
mission of California, measure which he con
tended for in one Of the abest aud most profound
of al his public discourses, and which was inall
carried after, perhaps, the most memorable strug-
gle in all our parliamentary affairs. In the same
manner il has now become his duty to move the
admission of the Free State of Kansas, and to de-
liver in behalf of that proposition the plea we
to-day lay before the public. II is rare that one
man has two such opportunities, and We think il
will be admitted that Mr.. Seward has nObly i'm
proved the present as he did the former one.
We are sensible that the Importance and interest
of the debate now going forward in Congress are of
necessity but imperfectly represented in the brief
reports given from day to day in the columns of the
journals and for that reason We have the greater
satisfaction in being enabled to offer readers so
complete a specimen of it as is afforded by this
speech. Perhaps never has there been debate of
wider moment or more signal ability, and we are
far from supposng that Mr. Stewards effort is 10 it.
self more remarkable or instructive than that Of
others. We take the pains to publish it at full
length because he is the honored and beloved Sen.
ator Of our own State, and because the public mere

MICRO BURNING.

Burning at the stake for heresies and crimes no
longer exists in Europe, not even in Turkey.
Roasting MARTYRS and eyil-doers alive is system
which belongs there to the past. And yet Europe
is amcs. entirely monsrchcal. Saving Switzerland,
tie hereditary system of privilege is practically
acknowledged in every European State. But not
wthstandng that such is the mitigation OF the old
seventies there, here in Democratic America, the
flames roar around the criminal, for if slave, he
may be- burnt alive. True, there is nothing on the
statute. book for such mode of punishment; but
neither is there an original line warrantiug Slavery
at ALL tie set of kidnapping and enslaying human
beings not having originally been regarded
other than as thing too vile to be sane
tiled by parchment, and hence like the work
of the rObber and murderer never legally re-
corded by the actor himself. Our readers will
bear witness how THE TRIBUNE has been assaied
for it's assertion that burning negroes alive is Ne
cessary part Of the system; that such barbarlsn,
borrowed from the time Of Huss, must flourish In
this age of steam-presses and railroads. OF democ-
racy and common schools, go long as Slavery exists
and that we cannot, accordingly, in our capacity as
a united people-the North responsible for the
South-hold up our heads us members of civilized
community 1t is false to call us ciyilized We are
not so. Some four millions Of human beings are
held in AFFECT submission and ignorance, and hence
habitually tending to commit violent crimes in the
SINE rropo ton; ard accordingly tie necessities
of the babarous society which 50 debases
them cause the Kind Of punishment of which
We are treating. We admire, therefore, the con-
sistency Of the local Southern press in dspatchng
the matchless horrors of burning man to death
in three lines, which we copy from The Montgom
1y Journal, published at the capital of Alabama,
one Of the sovereign States of the Union. That
paper on TIE Cd inst. made the following statement
"BURxIXG OF NEGRo.-Wc learn that the negro
who murdered Mr.. Capeheart was burned to death
yesterday at Mount Meigs. He acknowledged himself
guilty.
This is at least consistent. state Of society
essentially barbarOus causes the - burning OF
neGO;" and such inhammatOry procedures must
multiply with the mental improvement of the slave,
and Lis increased restlessness under the old-tash-
Toned Guinea treatment. So, burn away, brothers

REPUBLICANIsM IN NEW-JERsEY

A State Convention, Introductory to a Republi-
can organization in New-Jersey, was held at
Newark yesterday. We present elsewhere re-
port CT the proceedings. The attendance was
large and earnest made up of representatives from
every old party, aud, Judging from the Address and
Resolutions, the RICH! sort of energy and an anx-
ous desire to postpone all other issues in favor of
the principal one controlled the entire body. II
will be seen that later in the season another meet

politics
An impression appears to have come currency
that in the Presidential canvass New-Jersey will
be identified with the side of Slavery. The Demo-
Gratis, in the hands of the Railroad Monopoly, Of
course travel in that dirty direction; andthe dubious
harmony OF the Americans in favor OF Mr.. Fillmore
may be regarded as looking the same way. Yet no
greater injustice, we satisfied, could be done to
the popular temper of the State. Leaving aside
the possibility that Mr.. Fillmore may not consent
to be made the OopgeOn of Pfo-Savery Demo

the latest Congressional elections, emphatic az
they were for Freedom, the character, numbers
and enthusiasm of the assemblage yesterday would
