Our citizens were very agreeably entertained last week with speeches on the political topics of the day" by ex Gov. Seymour of Utica and Charles c. Woodman. Esq. of Boston.
 Gov. Seymour spoke on Thursday evening to . good house, and listened to with the attention to which gentleman of his reputation is entitled and as an orator and scholar he fully met the expec tations of his hearers But were disappointed in his avoiding the real issues before the country a justification or repudiation of the Administration in its management of our national affairs, and its Le- compton, Cuba Mexican Protectorate schemes for the extension of the slave power of the country
 Mr. woodman spoke on Saturday evening to the great satisfaction at least of his political friends He took the ground of Gov. Seward that there is an irrepressible conflict between Freedom and Slavery. and while he would not interfere with the institu- tons of the States where slavery exists. as mani festly have right to do he believed n preserv- ing our territories from the blighting influence of slave labor. His contrasts between Ohio and Ken lucky, Illinois and Missouri were graphic and i'm pressive, showing the effects of Free and Slave la Dor upon the growth and prosperity of States alike in most other respects and of equal capacity for taining busy population. We think we have never listened to speech on political subjects of greater eloquenco and power. We hope to sec Mir ". again in the great contest of 1860.

DR. BUsHNELL's REsIaNArioN.-A meeting of the North Congregational Church and Society was held last evening, to act upon the resignation of Dr. Bushnell, and upon the choice of colleague or successor. Dr. Bushnell read an eloquent and feel ing letter of resignation, but it being too long for our columns, we avail ourselves of the Courant's abstracts
 He said; that he had had this step in view for year past. 'sEver since the kind and affection ate letter, signed by every male member of the chuich, had been placed in his hands, signifying their wish to continue his salary through life though he should be unable, through ill health, to perform his pastoral duties-a touching mark of feeling, duly appreciated by him an offer which, in courtesy to the love that prompted it. he could not decline-he had revolvsd this matter in his m nd. His physicians had told him that, if he ho- ped to recover his health, he must go to drier c- nate-like that of California, and he had made up his mind to do so; and in doing so he felt in duty bound to dissolve his connection with the church. His reasons for this step various. He wished to tld himself of alf responsibility in the matter of the church; he did not wish tn feel when far away from Hartford, that at any time he was wanted there. Then It was wrctched feeling-that of be- ing an official pensioner upon the church. receiving pay without consideration ; and he wished to re- lleve the church from such 8 burden. He wanted, too, to make an easier place for his successor It is easier to sustain the first place in the hearts of congregation; to occupy subordinate position He purposed, then, to leave them though he should have felt pride in living and dying there, Hart ord man ne hoped to return at last to die amongst his old and time tried friends He intended his re. signation to take effect the 22d day of May, which would be just 26 years since his settlement over them. He closed with fervent benediction ''
 After earnest discussion the motion to accept his resignation was lost by almost unanimous vote Then, on motion of Francis Fellowes it was voted to grant to Dr. Bushnell five years of abscrce to re- cover his health, and a committee was chosen to confer with him on the subject, tc report on the evening of April 11th
 On the question of appointing colleague, a long and animated discussion ensued which resulted in the appointment of committee. by vote of 66 to 5O, to wait on Rev. c. D. Helmer for that purpose, and the meeting was adjourned for one week. Hartford Press.
