PROBABLE RESULTS OF A DIssoLT-
TInN-Our Democratic friend of the All
bany Patriot, remarks the Savannah Re-
publican is treating his readers to a series
Of articles on the Union and the proper
remedies for aggression. Some of his
views are very just and worthy of being
pondered by his political associates gene
rally, many of whom are so blind that they
can see no remedy for existing evils but
disunion. We annex an extract. which
II sensible from beginning to end:
Let IL suppose that the Union could be
dissolved by mutual consent, and line
should be agreed upon which would sepa-
rate Northern and Southern confeie-
racy; each party would have parted with
half its power and consideration in the
family Of nations, and would have estab-
lished foreign power upon its border
which could completely y neutralize it ia a
contest with distant nations. This would
be bad enough, but it would be only the
commencement Of our difficulties.
We should not long DC satisfied with
tho iirat lina5 yf separation. The bond NJ
/ Union in lAe smaller conlelcracies would
be weaker than the present Diversity of
interest, I'll or supposed wrongs, or the
7 intri-Ic5 of ambitious men, would soon
form new divisions, which would 20 on
until we should repeat the history Of other
republics-be ever prepared Tor or engag-
ed in desolating wars, ending in anarchy,
monarchy, Or = military despotism.
No. Let Us give this Union fair trial.
Let every power of system be exerted for
iis preservation Especially let the sever.
III States exert lily powers which they re-
served for tAs protection ofthair rights in
thc Union.
III win be timg enough ID abandon The
faircst fabric of human government which
has ever been erected, when every power
ani every reasonable effort to purify and
7 preserve il has bceu tried without success.

mediately ordered out III pursuit, and tho
bushes were thoroughly searched, without
success. During the night several bodies
of men were sent out, with ten days pro-
visions, in different directions. in order tc
retakc them if possible, in whatever route
they might take. Up to this time, howev-
er, no trace has been found of them. 1t is
reported that Howard, Mormon who was
arrested on the bWeetwater, and confined on
charge Of treason, but against whom the
grand jury fexnd no indictment, and who
was consequently released week ago, and
ordered to leave camp, was seen in camp
yesterday morning and afternoon, and it is
more than likely that he was connected with
the escape Of the prisoners, and furnished
them horses.
Stowell is an adjutant in the Mormon ar
ny. aesd ives taken prisoner on Hams Fork,
together with Col. Taylor. Stowell had on
his person, at the time Of his capture, sav-
erai dispatches Of most reasonable nature
from Brigham Young and others, to the
Mormon forces on Green river. Taylor
.alate his escape On a very stormy nigsaat, 9
few weeks after his capture.
The sentinel who had the prisoners in
charge was immediately arrested, and is nov
in confinement.
It is strongly suspected that there are
many traitors in camp, md that this whoie
affair was preconcerted.

Speech OF Hon. r. Nj. T. Hunter, OF Va.

ON THE ADMISSION or THE STATE OF KANSAS.
Delivered in the Senate If the United States,
JK,rch 18th 1858.
The Senate having under consideration
the bill to admit the State Of Kansas irt1
the Union BIZ. HUNTER said:
Mr.. PRESIDENT The question before US
is undoubtedly attended with difficulties. =
Some Of these are inherent in the subject it.
SELF but most Of them have been created in
the heats and party divisions Of the dsy and
by the manner in which that subject had
been treated. | believe that if the case
could be fairly presented to any impartial
mind, it would come to the conclusion that
the President had suggested the test RENE
|dy for the difficulties by which we are envi-
roned, and had hit upon the true solution OF
the Kansas problem. 10 test the correct
ness Of this position, it will ouly be neces-
sary to examine the facts as they have oc-
curr. d.
1t was in the year 1854 that the Con-
gress Of the United States repealed that re-
strction which denied to the slaveholding
States Of the Confederacy equal rights in
certain portions Of the territory Of the Union.
That restriction was declared by that Con-
tgress, and BY Gle President of the United
States, to be unconstitutional, imperative
null and void The opinion whicE tEeJ e1-
pressed was afterwards sustained by sol
emn adjudication Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States and think may say
that the election Of the present President O
the United States, and majority Of the mem
bers of the House cf Represents tives upon
this issue, affords probable evidences Of the
fact that this opinion was sustained by {
majority Of the people Of the United States
Soon after the passage Of this act, tho
people Of Kansas met to elect their first ter.
ritorial Legislature. | know that objections
have been raised to the manner in which the
election vas made, and | shall presently
come to the consideration of those objec-
tons; but it is indisputable that Legisls-
lature was thus elected, and Tot very long
after its election, it submitted it to the pee.
pie of Kansas to say whether they would
call convention for the purpose Of form
irg a constitution and applying for admis
sion into the Union. At the election ma
! iority of those who chose to vote. declared
! in favor of a convention. Upon this, the
Legislature passed another act to provide
for registry Of the voters, and census G
the people; and also to provide for the cleo
ton Of members to that convention.
I Again, Sir, 1t Chris election where all vo
ted who chose to vote, d representation was
elected to- constitute convention for the
purpose Of forming constitution. When
this convention met, it proceeded to The
creation Of a constitution, and when tina
constitution had been formed, it subinitte,
it to the people Of Kansas to say Shcthe
the provision in favor of slavery, which i
contained, should remain in the constitution
or whether it should be stricken out. Oi
that question again, in my opinion, all VIZ

las the anti Missouri candidate. Mr.. Sar
|;geant, the lawyer Of the Bank, took an ac
tive part dn the discussion ard an excite
ment, as great or greater than that which
now acitates the public mind in relation Il
Kansas, was kept up until by some process
WHICH does not axasear IN the record, Mr.
CLAY converted Mr. Charles Hammond, thu
"Ohio Federalist, from most bitter ant
malignant reviler and opponent Of the Bank
of the United States and Of Mr.. Clay, into
the warm personal admirer and advocate o.
both and until having worked this miracle
not in the open day, in the face of assem-
bled thousands, but under cover Of the
smoke Of the battle en the admission ~
Missouri, Mr.. GIsy came to Washington
and made has con'prslss;sse
And what was. Atssscorproniso? 1t was
this: that The Lcgisinafe Of TIE State Of
Missouri should, by q solemn act. declare
that the clause Of the consultation of Mis-
souri, requiring the Legislature to prohibit
the migration of free negroes and mulattoes
to the State, should TOT le construed to
deprive citizens, of any Of the States, of
any of the rights to which they are entitled
under the Constitution Of the United States .
Or, in other words, that the Legislature Of
the State Of Missouri should by solemn act
declare that they would not violate the
Constitution Of the United States, which
support.
quote from recollection, but rely on
my memory. | was a member of the
Convention, and Of the State Legislature
| participated in the farce Of passing the
"sotema act required by Mr.. Clay's reso-
luton, and was not then, nor have ever
since been, at loss to understand the men
who took part in the agitation Of that day.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay were candidates
for t e Presidency. The Bank wished to OBJ
tain the power to loca.e their branches in
the States without tie stnaeitiiss of tie States
Mr.. Adams used Mr. Cook to organize
sectional anti slavery party, because he be-
lieycd that the surest means of gratifying
his ambitiefs The Bank used Mr.. Clay to
act on Hammond as the agent cf Ohio, and
the opposition to the admission Of Missouri
was renewed, and kept up to covcr the pro-
cess by which Mr.. Chy, as the agent of the
Bank, was operating for the benefit Of the
Bank. Mr.. Cley having done the work Of
the Bank, the Bank vas ready and wiling
to aid Mr.. Clay, to absorb the credit Of
having saved the Union by his compromise
Then, as now, it was deemed expcdient to
create an excitenent-to alarm the people
with an apprehension that the Union was in
danger-that our sectional conflicts could
not be reconciled. And why? If nobody
had believed the Unien to be in danger,
nobody would have had any great claims
upon the public gratitude for sowing it. I
again say, that | quote from memory, but
cannot be mistaken in the facts.

KIDNAPPING A NEGRO GIRL.

The New York DAILY News OF the 10th
ult., says:
James B. Finley, Haley Howard, and
his reputcd wife, Anna Howard. alias Brai
nard Of this city, we're yesterday brought
before his honor the Mayor, on complaint
of Mrs. Taylor, residing in Grand street
charged with running away with her daugh-
ter Sarah, girl II years Of age, for the
purpose of selling her into slavery.
The facts showed that the girl had been
living With the parties as servant, and
they obtained permission Of her mother to
let the girl accompany them to Newark
n. J., to be absent only few days, but
instead Of going to Newark they went tc
Washington, aud after being there day Q,
two, Nj. Finley took the girl to slave
dealer and offered to sell her for 5000
whereupon she kicked up terrible row
and said she was free negro, and resided
in New York
Mr.. Finley left her in custody with the
slave dealer for the purpose, as lie said, Of
going to his hotel to bring the papers shew-
ing that he had purchased her off a planta-
ton. II seems, however, that he 60.
frightened, and made off to Ellicott's Mills
Howard county, Maryland, leaving the CIR
behind him Mr.. Willard, Of Willard's
Hotel, in Washington, tclegraphed seine o
the facts to the Mayor short time ago
the Mayor sent on some officers to attend t.
the matter, and they returned yesterday
having in charge Mr. Finley and wife, =
gethcr with the negro girl. The case wa
sent over to the Recorder for trial.
Heretofore the abolitionists have beer
stealing negroes from Che South, and turn
ing them loose to starve in Northern re
gions. Now they have reversed the orde
Of things, and are stealing negroes at tn
North for the purpose Of converting then
into money at the South. What will the,
do next ?-Pct Erpress.
