Mr. Barkesdale. of Miss.. indorsed Mr. Sow.

Mr.. Barkesdale, of Miss, Endorsed Mr.. Sew
ards remarks.
Mr.. Burnett Of KY, regarded II as unfortunate
for his section Of the Union, in the name OF
which, he entered bis protest against these pro-
ceedinss, as calculated to place 1t in q false po-
stion. When the time comes to solve the prob.
lem, then the time will come for southern gentle
men to move 10 tho matter.
Mr.. Single, Of Mississippi, complained Of a
forced construction being given to the law. Win
the Democratic party put a construction on the
law which will operate against us in the future .
The safety Il the South, it being in tho minority,
depends on the strict construction Of the CotStitu'
ton.
Mr.. John Cochrane, Of New York, agreed that
If the question proposed was to be %caudidly and
~manfully met. it should be on the Issue whether
the slave trade should be prohibited or permitted,
and not in debate colla.erally on the thraseUlogy
OF an appropriate IN bill. Ps to the vessels engag,
ed in the slave trade, coming from the North, he
would be ready at the proper time fairly and man
fully to take his position when the issue is raised.
MIR. Barkesdale, Of Miss, was satisfied TINT the
President in returning the Africans brought 10
this country by the Echo, had violated the law.
He had no authority for the contract which he
made. Believing, however, that the President ac'
ted from patriotic purposes, he was not prepared
to condemn him, Under proper circumstance he
should be prepared to take q position rs to the re.
opening Of the slave trade, and in its favor. The
safety of the North and South demanded the eil'
Gent and faithful execution Of the laws.
Mr.. Nichols. Of Ohio, said that the debate on
the other side afforded him much qualification. but
sometimes there was too much OF good thing.
If they would consent TO take a vote on striking
out the whole section under consideration, he
thought it would he the best thing they could do.
AT this point there were loud and earnes. cries
for the question.
Mr.. Miles Of S. c.. said he was that hidcous
thing, a sectional man. lie stood here. a South
ern man, representing, in part. a sovereign State.
They ofthe South cannot but be sectional because
they must be united 30 maintain themselves. lie
did not class himself in the Dcmocra tic runks lie
was not olly prepared to advocate the re opening
of the slave trade, but the sweeping away of all
laws which stamped his constituents as pirates,
and placed q stigma on Southern institutions.

Distribution IN MICHIGAN.

The following letter received from Hon. Jacob
Ferris of the Michigan Legislature reveals n sad
state Of things among the new settlers in that
state. Those who may be disposed to did these
furnishing settlers, can at once correspond with
Mr.. Ferris as indicated in his letter.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE,
LANSING, Mich, Jan. 18th 1859,
EDWARD BRooKE and MARIus RoBINsoN-Messrs :
| desire to address you on q subject of vast i'm
~portance to the people | have the honor of repre.
senting. Accompanying this / forward q copy of
the Governors Message, delivered at the opening
of this session on page q you will find q state
ment Of the destitution prevailing in two of our
northern counties. My District comprises the
counties Of Montcalm, Isabella, Mecosta, Osceola
and Glare and it contains a population Of about
9 1000 souls-lIundrejs Of whom are now suffering
for bread. The spring rains drowned the crops
%myriads of squirrels left scarcely n head of wheat
or an acre of corn. Before leaving home eight su.
pervisors communicated the startling fact that, in
their respective townships, there were not provis.
ions or means of any kind to supply the inbabi,
tants with food, for thirty days and this accords
with observations made by myself during the can.
vass last fall. The suffering families are widely
scattered throughout the woods. They are indus
trious. frugal, temperate and they grieve MOI
more over their own destitution than over thu
dire necessity Of appealing to the charities o.
strangers. But unless something can be done foi
them the consequences will he terrible.
These people have been in the woods Just lone
enough to exhaust the money they brought in with
them, and the entire failure Of The crops leaves
them exposed to very great p~rivation, and it is
feared that famine may ensue.
pray you to interest yourself in behalf of those
sufferers who, in the glow and isolation Of oui
northern woods, have now no resource agains,
starvation, save the charities of their more fortu
nate brethren.
We are doing all we can for them, but the most
successful amongst us are barely able to sustain
ourselves during this crisis. No work can be Civ
en- the sufferers, because there is no money nor
provisions to pay for it.
We have teams secured to bring 10 provisions
as often as means can be had. To prevent i'm.
position. the supervisors are acting as distributing
agents, and | as the Representative Of the District
am acting for them all, to make their wants known
aud raise funds and supplies of provisions.
If you or your friends can forward any supplies,
direct to me at Ionia, Michigan by Railroad-and
write me of the fuct-I shall remain here till the
close of the session, about Feb. 10th, after that my
address will be Greenville, Montcalm Co. Mich.
Most sincerely, Your Friend.
JACOB FERRIS.

PErfTioSs IN TUE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
In the House Of Representatives on Saturday
the % inst, Mr.. Amber presented the petition Of
VIM. Griffith and 1874 other citizens of Columbiana
county also, the petition of Daniel Voglesong
and l5l other citizens Of said county, for the pas.
sage Of an act to prevent the e1iradition of fugi.
tive slaves. Referred to the Standing Committc
on Federal Relations.
The Representatives Of the sovereignty Of Ohio
seem to have taken these reasonable petitions
more calmly than their Democratic brethren of
the Senate. The Committee to whom they we're
referred content themselves with "respectGrliy den,
recdting in future all memoriels for such enact
ments," as will be seen by the following which we
dip from tho Statesman's account Of Legislative
proceedings for that day.
Mr.. Brooke, from the Committee on Federal
Relations, to which was referred sundry petitions
of citizens Of Ashland and Columbiaua counties,
submitted a report with the following resolution
Resolced, By tie General assembly Of the State
of Ohio, That while the right of petition upon all
subjects, not inconsistent with p~ropriety and pub
lie morals, is sacred and inalienable. yet we, as
the representatives of the loyol sentiment of the
people Of Ohio, declare ourselves forever opposed
to every description Of sectional and unconstitu-
tional legislation, and respectfully deprecate, in
future, all memorials for such enactments.
On motion Of Mr.. Dobmeyer, laid on the table
and ordered to be printed.

Consular and Diplomatic appropriation bill.
The Committee rejected the pending amendment,
that no money shall be expended in support of the

Mr.. Crawford, Of Ga. offered an amendment re,
ducing the proposed S75, 900. to enable the Presi.
den. to carry out the law of 1919, to S45, 600. He
commended that there was no authority for the con-
tract with the American Colonization Society for
the education and support of the Africans captured
on board the Echo.

FIELD NOTES.

The name Of Nep Garden is associated in the
minds of abolitionists with tho remembrance of
some, who in the earlier days of anti .slavery we're
known as the active, faithful. uncom promising
friends of the slave. Preserving their integrity
amid many temptations, they died as they had lived,
in humanity's ennobliug, practical faith, and "be.
ing dead ye. s~peak"-speak by the impress their
example has made upon community, by the sunset
glory which the close Of a righteous life ever casts
upon earth.
But the New Garden Of Anti. Slavery remem.
by any means the
VILLAGE OF NEW GARDEN,
which place is a stronghold of Buchanan Demo.
Gratis. We had meetings appointed there on
Thursday, the 9th, forenoon and evening. Whom
the Disciple Meeting House was applied for, aprre.
tensions were expressed that an evening meeting
would be disturbed BY a mob, and it was judged
best We should commence with a day meeting, 40
a kind of foundation for an evening session.
We accordingly did SO, and and in the course Of
our remarks in the forenoon, referred to the posi-.
ton of Alexander Campbell. which called out a
response from a member of the church, who pre-,
sentod that eminent Disciple Of Christ in so anti.
slavery a light, that could he himself have looked
upon it, he would not have been able to recognize
it. In reply, we quoted a few passages from his
late writings upon slavery and the fugitive slave
law, which evidently astonished the defender of
the Apostle of Discipleship, who, though anti.
in foeliRg, was not well posted as to the
views OF Alexander.
AT the close OF our lorenoon's session, we found
an evident uuwillingness on the part of those in
authority co open the house for the evening meet
ing. whether from fear of a mob, or because they
apprehended a more thorough examination of the
position of the Disciple Church, or whether
both feelings were combined, l do not pretend to
say. Consent was, however, finally obtained, and
the house opened.

letter that be has been, perhaps is STILL cherishinc
the most sangune expectation of the next Presi.

Even If we were unscrupulous enough to send such

not exult too much in our signal triumph over him
We assure him that we think there are worse men

OPEN DECLARATION OF HOSTILITY.

Dennison, the Black Republican nominee for Gov.
ernor Of Ohio whose election is almost certain, has
avowed in late speech the policy by which his ad
minstraton will be conducted in its relation with the
South. Here are his words:
II am elected Governor of Ohio-and expect to
be-no fugitive slave shall be sent back to Kentucky
or any other slave States II cannot otherwise pro-
tect him from his pursuers ,DM employ the bayonet,
80 help me God.
Seward, who will be, in all human probability, the
"Back Republican nominee for the Presidency OF the
United States," next year, and whose election is
almost certain in our opinion, said in the Federal
Senate last winter that he considered the battle be-
tween the North and the South fought and won by
the North and that when his party obtained control
OF the reins Of power they would re-organize the
Supreme Court that judicial sanction should fol.
low fanatical and oppressive legislation! II any
thing, Stewards remarks were more offensive than
those attributed to Mr. Dennison. Ata events, they
are fraught with danger, for he belongs to the
legislative department Of the Federal Government
and has sworn to support the Federal Constitution.
Not sowith Mr.. Dennison. He has taken no oath,
whatever as yet, although he proclams bis dsoyalty
as citizen In advance. With such Presidents as
Seward, and such Governors as Dennison, the South
will be sweetly treated by the General Government
She will stand splendid chance of receiving justice
constitutional or otherwise. Well:
