mer not that he loved MIR. Sherman less, but order
more. and desired to rescue the House from its diff
fculties. Mr. Sherman had explained satisfactorily
to him that he repudiated all sympathy for the OBJ
noxious sentiments contained in Helpers book
He called attention to the proceedings of the recent
meeting in Luzerne county, Pa. to declare attach
ment to the Union and Constitution. The resolu-
tons doubtless express the sentiments of the entire
people OF Pennsylvania, and condemn in strong
terms aggressions the institutions of the South
and approve the conduct of Governor Wise in con-
nection with Browns invasion of Virginia.
Mr.. CAMPBELL endorsed the patriotic sentiments
of the resolutions. The time had arrived when he
could say for nnsyvania, without fear of contra
dicton anywhere, that she has always been true,
and always will be, to the Constitution and laws
His State was too great to be unjust. She had a
population of three millions. An Empire in her
self, she sits her mountains with an iron crown
on her head she is for the Union now and will
be to the last syllable of recorded time. She will
not embark In any crusade against her neighbors.
She believes in the equality of the States. She re-
pudiates the idea that any particular man cannot
be lawfully, peaceably and quietly carried into the
Presidential chair. Where would treason show its
front? Who would commit the overt act? He be-
ieved the people would rise in their might to sup
port the Constitution and laws of the land He had
he said, voted for Mr.. Gilmer with great pleasure,
because Mr.. Gilmer was for the Union. the Consti-
tuition and the laws, and because he was the I'M
fiinching friend of protection.
Mr.. CAMPBELL proceeded to shown reply to
MIR. Gartrells remark of yesterday-that single
cotton crop OF Georgia would purchase all the arms
and ammunition Pennsylvania would make-pro-
ceeded to show that the productions of Pennsylva-
mia, mineral and agricultural, in one year was worth
two hundred millions of dollars, whilst the whole
entire value of the cotton crop of the South was
not more than two hundred and sxty-fye or two
hundred and eighty-fve millions.
Mr.. PUGH, of Alabama laid down the following
points as the foundation for his remarks, namely:
First, the present condition of public opinion as tC
the real character of federated system; second
y the basis and motives of such action; and third
ly the remedy for the evils which have impaired
the integrity Of the Government, and now threaten
to subvert the Constitution. 1t was his opinion
that amount of effort rescue the Constitution
from the evils which surround it, or restore The
Government to its original purity or perpetuate i
in that form. He maintained that slavery is s
blessing to both races and will survive the friction
and weight of the Federal Union. -
No wonder that the Black Republicans sing song
to the Federal Union and chat it shall and must b
preserved, for the Federal Union is the coil of thu
anaconda to slavery. He maintained that the cir
repressible conflict doctrine was brought forward
to supply want of constitutional power to abolish
slavery in the States. In conclusion he briefly ad
yOcated Southern confederacy, with people no.
mogeneous in population and pursuits. They
would enjoy peace, and in the utmost degree pre-
sent the spectacle of perfect civilization and fire.
