THE RAE TsmANos JouRNAl,

merely request to those who represent us in
Congress, and its only object was to elicit an
expression of legislative opinion, and thereby
to strengthen the hands of the venerable Scna-
tor from Michigan who already has this subject
in charge. Gen. CAss has labored faithfully
to accomplish his purpose, and deserves to be
sustained by the passage just such resolu-
tion as this, in every State Legislature. We
do not doubt that he win ultimately be sue
cessiul, and that the day will soon arrive when
no treaty will be negotiated with a foreign
government without the insertion of stipula-
tion which will fully secure the rights to
which we have alluded. Our only regret is,
that upon the journals of a Pennsylvania
House of Representatives will be found recor-
ded, for all time, the vote of majority against
the passage of a joint resolution which aimed
at the adoption of a policy SO much to be COM
mended, and SO perfectly in unison with the
impulses Of every truly patriotic heart.

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON

Feb. 2.-The Senate is not in session to-day.
In the House Mr.. Smith, of Tenn, said he had
heretofore voted against the election of Spea-
ker by plurality vote, but as yesterdays vote
indicated some chance of felecting, as Speaker
man of sound national views, he now offered
resolution to that effect. A motion to Law il
on the table was negatived by 10 majority.
The plurality resolution was then adopted
by vote of 113 yeas to 104 nays. The an
nouncement was hailed with much applause.
Mr.. Orr Internationally Withdrew his name
as the Democratic caucus candidate, there be-
ing now probability of the concentration of
greater strength Gpon his colleague, Mr.. Aiken.
Mr.. Boyce moved to rescind the resolution.
The motion was laid on the table-yeas III.
nays 101. (Applause-)
Mr.. Jones, of Tenn, referring to the terms
of the resolution-that if there shall be no ell
ection by majority on the next three trials

principle of Slavery does not depend upon DIFF

OF the workings of Democracy, which will
make the owners Of farms and plantations the
aristOcracy of our country, and all who labor.
their serls, vassals and slaves, Worzingmen
of Pennsylvania, how do you like this new
democratic doctrine, as announced by the
Richmond Enquirer?
s.Until recently, the defence of slavery has
labored under great difficulties, because its a.
biologists, (for they were mere apologists) NJ
took halfway grounds. They confined the de-
fence of slavery to mere negro slavery; there
by giving up the slavery principle, admitting
other forms of slavery to be wrong, and Yield
ing mp the authority of the Bible, and of tho
history, practices, and experience of mankind
Human experience, showing the unirersal sue
o. Stare society, aud the universal failure of
free society, was unavailable to them, because
they were preciuded from employing it, by ad-
mitting slavery in the abstract to be wrong
The defence of mere negro slavery involved
them in a still greater difficulty. The laws of
all the Southern States justified the holding
trhite men in slavery, provided, through the
mother, they were descended, however remote
IL, from a negro slave. The bright mulattoes,
according to their theory, were wrongfully held
in slavery. The line Of defence. however, is
now changed, and the North is now complete
" corncred and 6umbas an oyster. The South
now maintains that slarery is right, natural Ead
necessary. 1t shows that all divine, and almost
all human authority. justifies it. The South
further charges that the little experiment OF
free society in Western Europe has been, from
the beginning, a cTUeL failure, and that syRnt-
toms Of failure are a5HHdGat in Our Norih.
While it is far more obvious that negroas
should be slaves than whites, for they are on,
ly fit 10 labor, not 10 direct get The pTiRcipll
of sIGrery is fSeifTight, Gad does NOT depend on
difference of complexion. Difference of race
lineage, of language, of habits and customs,
all tend 10 render the institution more natural
and durable; and altho' SLares have been gener-
al!y 7rhifcs. still the masters and slaves have
generally been of different national descent.
Moses and Aristotle, the earliest historians
are both authorities in favor of this difference

THE UrsrORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA (
| Publication Fund.-The HiStrrical Society
| Of this Commonwealth, whose cXcrtions have
been for many years directed TO the collection
of important matters in the local and general
history Of our State, have now adopted meas
ures to preserve in durable form the results
of their researches, and to present them, from
time to time, TO the public. Acting upon she
suggestion Of the venerable Charles Miner-an
able, jealous and successful investigator Of
Pennsylvania history-the Society has organ
lied 4 Publication Fund, to be composed of
subscriptions of twenty dollars each, from per-
sons in any part of the State, on payment OF
which, the subscriber is entitled to receive
copy of all the publications of the Society du-
ring his or her life. There is no State in the
Union, whose local history possesses more va
ried interest and valuable information than
our own; and no where can a more correct re-
cord of it he found than in the annals of the
Historical Society. 4 laudablc pride in the
progress and growth of Pennsylvania, anda
desire to have her annals correctly transmitted
to posterity, should prompt every citizen Ia
the State TO second the endeavors of the Soci-
ETY.. The Publication Fund already amounts
to nine thousand dollars, and is rapidly in
creasing; and the first work-tlIe ssHistory of
Braddock's Expedition issued, has met
with the most hattering success. The object
Of the Society is to obtain not only the history
of the State at large, but that of every county
in it, so that those who thus become subscri-
bers to the Publication Fund, will receive, at
very cheap rate, complete compendium of
all remarkable biographical and genealogical
facts, both of general and local interest. This
measure is one worthy of support, and hope
many will be found in our own county, to aid
in an enterprise which cannot fail to be pro-
ductive of great usefulness. Letters contain
ing subscriptions may be addressed to the
s'Iistorical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadel-
phia.''

LATEST FROM EURoPE.-IIaliiaX, Jan. 81
The Cunard steamship Arabia, from Liverpool
with dates to the morning of Saturday the
10Th ult., arrived at 9'oclock 50 minutes this
evening, bringing f07 passengers. The news
is important as indicative of an carly peace
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon. Times,
tclegraphs under date of Wednesday, the 10th,
10 4. NJ, that Russia has unconditionally ac-
ceptcd the propositions of the Allies. This is
reported authentic. The news caused an i'm
mcnsc sensation. The funds rose three per
cent, Cotton farthing, and panic ensued in
the other markets. The next day the English
Government published a despatch from Minis
ter Seymour, at St. Petersburg, as follows:-
|sRussia agrees to accept the proposals as a
basis of negotiations.'' This qualified an
nouncemcnt Gained the excitement, and the
alarmists begin to fear that Russia merely
wants to gain time by deceptive negotiations.
Meantime the funds remain steady, as previous
to the above announcement. The Vienna pa
pcrs represent affairs most serious and alar-
ming, and that all the personnel of the Austri-
an Embassy was ordered to quit St. Petersburg
and the Russian to leave Vienna. During
the week capsing between Russia's first and
second reply, intense apprehension existed at
Vienna, but on the 10Th, these apprehcnsions
subsidized by the announcement above stated,
that Russia agrees to negotiate on the terms
proposed. There rs nothing of Importance
from the Crimca. The actual facts are that
Count Ncsselrode upon being handed the Aus
trian and Allied note, was Informed by Count
Estcrhazy that he was not authorized to enter
into discussion. but if the note was not accept
ed unconditionally, before the 18th, he, and
all the Austrian Embassy, must leave Peters
burg. To prevent this, Ncsselrodc communi-
Gated with Vienna direct, and Prince Gortsch-
akoh, at Vienna, had talk with Count Boul.
in which the former produced 4 memorandum
expressing the general inclination of Russia to
negotiate, but proposing certain alterations
Count Boul received the document, but mas
much as it did not contain an unconditional
acceptance of the propositions, Austria could
not reply without the concurrence of France
and England. The Ambassadors of those pow
erS accordingly sent to London and Paris, and
received in reply that the Western Powers
had no motive to change their decision, alrea-
dy carefully considered, and further, that if
Russia did not accept by the 18th, Count Es-
terhazy and the Austrian Legation would leave
Petersburg, and Austria seek to obtained the
armed cooperation of the German Diet.
