The telegraph reports that while some Of the
northern men 10 the House were proposing the
abs.emeut Of the Free States, john Hutehins
,introduceda resolution ustructing the commit
tee to report what legislation is necessary to
give foil effect to that part Of the constitution
which provides that the citizens Of each state
shall be entitled to all the privileges and immu-
mites Of the other states and also that IL is
necessary to secure 10 all the people, whether
residing in or travelling through any state, the
full benefit of that part of the Constitution
which secures them against unreasonable
searches and seizures in the absence Of the pro-
bable cause
This is what we want now. Let MS have Sc
curity for the lives and property Of citizens
obliged to travel in the south. Afterwards 1t
will be time TO talk OF concession aud compro-
mise. First Of all, now-justce aud equality
for white men before the Uniou. No more
burnings of men and hangings Of women by
mobs--no more interruption aud insult to north
ern citizens by vigilance committees.
When the south shall have taken the beam
from its own eye, il will be enabled to see more
clearly to remove the mote from ours. Mr..
HuroHINs has made the point exactly, and
shown the Republican party that there is no
more for them to do when the south, or its
northern allies who only look to southern in'
terests, talk of compromise, than TO point them
to the outrages upon free state citizens that are
the burden Of every mail. Simple justice, and
respect for sacred rights first, compromise af-
terwsrds Unlike the funkes Of Philadelphia
at their meeting the other day, we would never
inscribe upon our banner in this day, "Conces.
sion before seeession"--or kick as, spurn as
spit upon Us, but don't leave ne. There is no
concession which will pscify the south, but to
tai sacrifice of principles by the Republican
party Speaking for the republicans Of Ohio
therefore, We would reverse their motto aut
make 1t rsad-Secessiou before Concession o
Right.
