Reward and Hammond.

Having read so much about the terrible
things contained in Senator Stewards re-
cent Rochester speech. we were induced to
read It, and confess that we were unable
to see what cause there was for the great
fnss which has been made over it. There
is nothing terrible, seditious nor traitor
Gus in it. He opposes the admission Of
any moro SlavsStates, but does not pro-
posssto. abolish Slavery in any Of the
ST where ii now exists, except by To-
sesl lkses of the different States, if deemed
p.bper by the people of the States con-
cet1ed. His ruling idea is. that Slavery
must be abolished by the laws Of labor.
He says that the laws of free labor and Of
Slavery are antagonistic, and cannot ex-
iss side by side. One must eventually
crush the other opt and either free labor
viii eventually gain the ascendancy
throughout the entire Union, or else every
Stats will become Slave State. He is
confident that free labor viii gain the vic
tory. He does not propose to accomplish
this by Congressional Intervention, nor
by force, but wholly in the manner above
stated. What is there in this, to raise
such howl over?
Senator Hammond, Of South Carolina,
has also lately made speech to his con-
stituents, which, although containing the
usual amount of Southern broggadocio,
vas BY no means fre-eating or disunion.
He thinks there is slim chance for any
more Slave States to be made out of our
Territories; is opposed to annexing Mex
leo or Central America, for the purpose
Of carving out Slave States; and has no
idea of annexing Cuba. He says the
North and the world could not do with
out the South, and she would prosper as
4 Republic separate from the North; but
be is not in favor Of a separation, as long
as the rights of the South are respected.
He desires the South to sndeaxor to con-
ciliate the North, and to make good use
Of what Territory she already has. She
has .yast room for improvement there, and
BY energy and industry, 3 bright future
awaits her. AL he desires is, that the
rights Of the South should be respected
By ths North. and by Congress; and be
thinks that they will be by the latter. In
this connection he makes a significant
declaration, which is strictly true. how
ever little the fact may be relished in the
North. He says that the South has
heretofore controlled the Federal Govern.
Tnent, and all viii go on well as long as
she continues to do so. He has conf.
dencs that she viii, because the President
and his Cabinet, the United States Sen.
ate, and the Supreme Court, are all firm.
ly bound to that end!

History, we believe. has failed to record
what we see stated in the papers, that the
first settlement in New England was not
at Plymouth. but at Phillipsburg. Maine
"A settlement was made in this town by
Sir George Popham and one hundred
colOnists from England, in August, 1647
mere than sixteen years before the
landing Of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
Ez..
Well. We are constantly learning some
thing new. History heretofore has told
US that the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
on the 22d Of December, 1920 /; but, &C
cOrding to the ''papsrs." PhilIipsburg. in
Maine. was settled in the year 1647,
which yssr. according to the '.cyphering''
books Of those days. occurred more than
sixteen years before the year 1920
