The State Credit.

The Union and american, republishing an ar
ticle from the Memphis appeal on the subject
of the credit of the State, says Tennessee
bonds have already, as a consequence of the
prudent action of our Legislature, in engaging
the State in no new enterprises, while decreas-
ing her liability so many millions. materially
advanced" The advance has not been so very
material. On the 10th of March, before the
Legislature adjourned, our bonds sold in New
York at S84; on the 9th, after the adjourn
ment, they sold at sS4 $50, $50, and SO the
greatest Improvement being only &c. No
great shakes that. We apprehend that the
prompt payment of the bonds falling due the
LIST inst, and of the interest due in July, will
do something more than this in the way of
materially advancing" the price of our
bonds.
The appeals article introduces the follow
ing extract from the New York Herald of the
25th
1.-The Legislature of Tennessee percmptorily
refused TO allow any increase of the State debt
for banking. This course will be cordially en-
dorsed by the people, and do much towards
sustaining the credit of the State"
We will know more about that hereafter.
We suspect before another year dawns upon
them, the people will be satisfied that it was
a mistake not to increase the capital of the
Bank of Tennessee as proposed. We hope
they may not have cause to condemn or com
plain, but we fear the result.

mr.. seward,s speech.

We this morning commence the publication
of the speech of WILLIAM II. SEWARD. of New
York, delivered in the United States Senate,
the Union. We are induced to make this
publication, because of the we'll known hos
tiIity of the speaker to the institution of
slavery, his superiority over all his political
friends as party leader. and in order to ac-
quaint the South with the purposes and de-
signs Of her enemies, as well as to show the
grounds upon which the black republican
party oppose the admission Of Kansas into
the Union. PROFESSIONALLY Mr.. SEWARD is
by far the ablest politician in the lead OF the
freesoil party. He has shaped his course with
a deeper deiiberation and caution, and with
an eye more intently fixed upon great and
final results than any of his coadjutors. He
Is the power in the North-others, such as
GREELEY, WILSON, HALE and the host of new
men, who have foated to the surface of poll
tics since the campaign of 1856, as compared
with him, are as the noisy troth, foam and
white-caps of the shallow sea, to the mighty
pillows of the fathomless ocean. They would
wreck the vessel on the rocks beneath, he
would crush and swallow it. They disgust
by their unrelieved fanaticism, he conceals
his fanaticism by temperate but ohe-sded
philosophy. Mr.. SEWARD has never espoused
the temporary and short-sighted, maDeuyring
pol cy of the WENTwoRTHs and GARRIsoNs
of his party. The greatest obstacle which
has ever opposed itself to the designs of the
freesoilers,-which are nothing more nor less
than practical denial to the South of an
equal participation and property in the terri
tories, the common property of the govern
ment-is the Federal constitution. This he
promptly and boldly met, in the only way
under heaven which it could be met. by an
nouncing higher law. That settled, the re-
and power. To obtain the power he has but
to convince the popular mind that the black
slave labor of the South is antagonistic and
degrading to the white free labor of the North.
1t will be observed, this is one of the princi-
pal aims of his speech. Its whole tenor is as
to the freedom or slavery of Kansas, and this
is the issue rendered and made in this con-
troversy. All other facts and arguments are
incidental and auxiliary to this one, and are
simply used as helps.
We think the South should be acquainted
as fully as possible, with these views and
movements, and in Mr.. SEwARDs speech they
appear more skillfully and deliberately than
we have seen them elsewhere, and hence we
give this speech at this time.

sas, without stoppingin all cases to substitute
the name of the new Territory for that of the
old State 1t practically suspended popular
elections for three years-the usurping Legis-
lafure assigning that term for its own MEM

to agents appointed by itself. 1t barred the
courts and the juries to its adversaries by test

tyranny, but the torture, from the practice of

to the Governor (Reeder) to correct the
false election returns. He interviewed, but
Intellectually, and yet even for that interven-
tion was denounced by the Administration
organs, and, after long and unacceptable ex-
plantations. he was removed from Office by the
President. The new Governor (Shannon)
sustained for while the usurpation, but failed
to effect the sublugation of the people, al
though he organized as militia an armed
partisan band of adventures who had in
truded themselves into the Territory to force
Slavery upon the people. With the active Co
operation of this band, the party Of slave labor
disarmed the Free State emigrants who had
now learned the necessity of being prepared
for self-defence, on the borders of the Terri
tory, and on the distant roads and rivers
which led into it. They destroyed a bridge
seat of Government, sacked hotel where
they lodged. and broke up and cast into the
river press which was the organ of their
cause.
The people of Kansas, thus deprived, not
merely of se1fgovernment, but even of peace,
tranquility, and security, fell back on the in
alienable revolutionary right of voluntary
reorganization. They determined, however,
with admirable temper, Judgment, and loyal
ty, to conduct their proceedings for this pur-
pose in Difference and subordination to the
authority of the Federal Union, and according
to the line of safe precedents.
After due elections, open to all the inhabi-
tants of the Territory, they organized pro
visionally a State Government at Topeka :;
and by the hands of provisional Senators, and
a provisional Representative, they submitted
their Constitution to Congress- and prayed to
be admitted as a free State into the Federal
Union. The Federal authorities lent no aid
to this movement, but, on the contrary, the
President and Senate CONTEMPORARY rejected
it, and denounced il as treason. and all its
actors and abettors as disloyal to the Union.
An army was dispatched into the Territory.

The telegraph announced to our readers
yesterday that the Senate bill for the admis-
sion of Kansas slave State has been sup
planted in the House of Representatives by
the Crittenden substitute. Inasmuch as this
substitute failed in the Senate, when proposed
there by its author, we take it for granted that
it is not probable, nor even possible, for it to
become law. Unless some of those sham
democrats or Southern Americans who have
co6perated with the black republicans. retrace
their steps, the Kansas problem is as distant
as ever from peacable solution. We hope
for the best, but apprehend the worst

SPEECH OF WIN. II. SEWARD,
In The Senate Of the United States, HlrcA 8, 1858.

Mr.. PRESIDENT Eight years ago, we slew
the Wilmot Proviso in the Senate Chamber,
and buried il with triumphal demonstrations
under the floors of the Capitol. Four years
later. we exploded altogether the time-honOred
system of governing the Territories Icy Federal
rules and regulations, and published and pro-
claimed in its stead new gospel of popular
sovereignty. whose ways, like those of wis
dom, were to be ways OF pleasantncss and all
of whose paths were supposed Ia BE- fowcry
paths of peace. Nevertheless, the question
whether there shall be Slavery or no Slavery
in the Territories, is again the stirring passage
of the day. The restless Proviso has burst
the cerements of the grave, and, striking
hands here in our very presence with the gem
tie spirit of popular sovereignty run mad. il
seen raging freely In our halls, scattering dis
may among the Administration benches la
both Houses of Congress. Thus an old and
unwelcome lesson is read TO US anew. The
question of Slavery in the Federal TERRITORIES,
which are the nurseries OF future States, in
dependently of all its moral and humane eic-
ments, involves n dynastical struggle of two
antagonistical systems, the labor of slaves and
the labor of freemen, for mastery in the Fed
eral Union One of these systems partakes
OF an aristocratic character; the other II
purely democratic. Each one Of the existing
States has staked, or IL will ultimately stake.
fuence in the Federal councils on the decision
of that contest. Such struggle is not to
arrested quelled, or reconciied, by temporary
expedients or compromises.
Mr.. President, l always engage reluctantly
in these discussions. which awaken passion
just i'm the degree that their importance de-
mands the impartial uppirage Of reason. This
reluctance deepens now, when look around
me, and count the able contestants who have
newly entered the lists on either side, and
ehadowy forms of many great and honored
statesmen who once were eloquent in these
disputes, but whose tongues have since be-
come stringless instruments, rise up before
me. II Is, however, maxim In military
science, that In preparation for war, every
one should think as If the last event depended
on his counsel. and in every great battle each
one should fight as II be were the only cham
pion. The principle. perhaps, ID equally sound

vol. l2rno- 81 %.
In the following pages it is proposes to present an
outline Of what may be called the incidental attrac-
tons Of the Bible-to forth its claims, both as
classic and book of general education. Regard
ed simply book of learning, of taste and genius,
of history and eoquence, it has exerted influence
which cannot be too highly estimated, and commends
itself to every cultivated understanding IL is the
book of our learning, not less than religion; the
basis of civilizations less than salvation
II has moulded into shape, it has quckened into life
the whole body Of secular learning, well
theology has breathed own vital spirit into all
science, literature Legislation, philosophy and
cial and political institutions
1t is these attractions, which may be felt and ap
preciated by the irreligous and worldly mind
ed which propose TO group together in distinct
and connected view. Our object viii be speak of
the Book Of God production Of inspired genius
and classic taste; TO reveal something Of its mmeas-
urable wealth, as field of knowledge and mine Of
wisdom, model Of eloquence, master piece Of poe
sy book of instruction; and thus to render it,
so far as We shall be able, attractive to all.
