The HALL was packed with spectators at an
early hour, as on the day previous, and the
profoundest interest manifested in the pro-
ocedings.
The report OF the Committee on Slavery.
was taken up, on motion Of DIR. Haven, at a
somewhat later hour than the day previous,
and Dir. Haven took the floor TO speak in fa-
vor OF the minority report. lie enumerated
the ''irrepressitle Conflicts" in its Church
application, declaring that agitation might
be deprecated but could not be prevented,
until this question, involving the spiritual
and temporal interests OF tour millions IL

asked for BY the minority. The Church
could not distinguish between big ard little

belief that Slavery was inhuman in principle,

exhibiting such an instructive sense. lie in

wv a3 N1AtASM
The Democracy and tho Constitutional
Unionists, whose hopes and fortunes are
linked to those Of lifelong politicians in the
persons OF their candidates for the Presidency,
Object that Lincoln is not an experienced
statesman. They 60 upon the assumption
that, in order to be fit for the Presidency, a
man must have been brought up in, or at
least served long years in, public Office
However plausible this may appear to those
who have wondering awe Of official station,
the sound practical common sense OF the peo-
pie will not fail to recall the fact that the
very worst, most inefficient, extravagant and
corrupt Presidential Administration known
in our history were those OF Van Buren, and
Buchanan, two of the most " experienced
statesmen" that ever held the Presidential
chair.
The FIRST was permitted to retire at the end
OF one term with the very general consent of
the people, and his place at the White House
was supplied by one whose great recommend
alton in the eyes OF the people consisted in
the fact that be was an honest man OF sim.
pie manners, and unhackneyed in the ways OF
placemen and politicians. And now tho venal
and exsrassTsnt administration Of that other
statesman of ripe experience, who has spent
all bis life in othoe, is drawing to close,
and not single man within the broad limits
of tho Union has expressed desire for it's
longer continuance.
In view OF these facts ia it probable that
the peopls will regard it as an insuperable
objection to Mr.. Liucoln that no is not mn
experienced" statesnan2 On the contrary,
- II not more probable that now, as 10 1S40,
there Is 4 universal desire to escape the con.
ta,ion OF corruption and the clustering evils
OF political ehican.ry which infect and de-
moralize the "experiencedn Statesmen who
have tarried many years ut the CAPITAL? We
doubt not,- see indications Of the fact on
every band, THAT The people are d-ensts

and corruption Of the Experienced states
