the admission Of new States and both deDounc-
ing the Administration party for its abandon
ment Of the Cincinnati platform. Mr. CURRY
of Alabama then took the floor to discuss the

THURSDAY, December 8, 1859.

SENArE-The Senate after listening to a
discussion that everfreSh and sufficient topic,
Slavery, adjourned until Monday. The dis
cussion was not without points of interest,"
NJ. TRrMBuII, of Illinois, having the floor up
on his amendment to Mr. MAsoN's resolution
spoke at'great length and with much force IL
defence of the Republican platform yet in q
sense so moderate and conservative as to dis
arm the attacks of the more ultra Southern
Senators. lie denied that Slavery was q
crime, where it existed under the protection OF
the laws and admitted that it not only so eX
listed in the Slave States but also in the Dis
trict of Columbia. A S to the admission of new
Slave States into the Union he expressed his
readiness to vote for them, whenever they pre-
sented themselves and was at pains tC
repudiate the name of Mr.. SEWARD as the lead
er of the Republican Party. Gen. Davis, o.
Mississippi, and Mr. WMsoN,o MassachuSett;
followed.
HoUsE-In the House, the honors of the
day deyolved mainly upon two representatives
from Ohio, Messrs. CoRwIN and Cox. Mr.
CoRwIN made speech almost, in outline, the
counterpart of that of Mr.. TRUMBULL, in the
Senate eulogizing Virginia and South Caro-
lima, discIaimIng all hostility to Slavery, or any
design to exclude slave States, and repudiat-
ing Mr.. SEWARD. Mr. Cox, in rejoinder, ,coulC
not accept the professions Of Mr.. CoRwIN as
the creed of the Republicans of Ohio, especial
ly of those in the Western Reserve. H
claimed that with the exception of that infect
ed region Ohio was eminently sound and con
servative The House, without attempting 9
third ballot for SPEAKER, adjourned.

SESArE.-The senate still 6Ilibnstered on
the Harper's Ferry and Liberty Arsenal ques-
tions with o slight dash at He pers Crisis"
The principal speakers for the South were
Senators MALLORY, BRowN, IvERsoN, CLING
MAN, CHEsSUT and GREEN. The encounter
them came, from the North, Senators SIMMONS
CHANDLER, HALE, and King all of the letter
sustaining the amendment of Mr.. TRuNBULL,
and engaging to pass the Mason resolution with
that addition. The discussion without elicit
ing any striking truths or decisive expressi oAs
of sentiment, occupied the day. s3.'. :.
HoUsE.-The House also addicted itself for
the greater part of the day to the, business Of
agitation, Mr.. KELLOGG, Of Illinois, opening
the fight by raising a question Of privilege in
reference to statements mady by correspon-
dent of New-Ycrk paper In that connec-
tion, Mr.. KELLaGG stated that Mr. DoUGLAs
had been chosen Senator in the recent Illinois
canvass, in consequence of back parlor
bargain with the Black Republicans, treaty
with the stipnlations on which Mr. KELLodG
declared himself familiar. The discussion fol-
loving this disclosure was violent In the

aT.nnII Tor the Lnn,IIess.' y

The Republicans Of Ohio, as will be
seen from their platform, join issue with
the Slave Democracy on the question Of
Free Labor, free Territory and free
homes for Freemen. The democracy in
Congress not only attempted TO force sla-
vey upon Kansas, by the Leoompton
swindle, against the express viii of her
people, but they succeeded, by factious
opposition, in defeating the Homestead
Bin, granting 100 acres Of the public do
nuin to actual settlers, The party in
power, under the lead Of the South, is
bending every energy 70 crush out free
white labor and desecrate, by the pollut-
ing touch of the seeursed institution the
virgin soil Of our fair territories, which
was designed by our forefathers 70 be and
which is the rightrulheritage offreemen.
In their hot chase after the "nigger," the
Democratic party does not stop to consid-
q hat free white lnborers, a. the North,
have rights that ought to be respected.
