tai idyosincracies. Without giving extracts from
that discourse, we may soy that among Other
things he declared in substance that the best way
of treating Slavery in the States is to teach the
slaves to obey their masters, and DO good boys gen.
orally. Now, in the political aspect of this subject
to which we have referred, and in which domain
Mr.. Beecher is an actor and preacher, we say that
neither he nor any other man has anything to DO, IN
the way of active treatment, with Slavery in the
States; and in it's management, our advice and
counsel is not asked, or thought to be needed.
In the moral aspect of the case, wherein Mr.
Beecber is also an actor and a preacher, we con-
tend that he mistakes his duty altogether n giving
any such advice. In that sphere of action the first
aad manifest duty Of every teacher is to denounce
the institution without stint as the sum Of all vii
aDes; to allow it no rest to give it no hidiDgplace,
TO grant it 10 quarter speak of its moral treat.
ment Mr. Beecher himself has often enough done
this very thing. Even our most conservative men
plant themselves upon the hatefuness Of Slavery as
the basis Of their action in resisting its extension.
Here is where Mr.. Jefferson and other patriots oil
the Revolution stood. If the political aspect oil
Slavery leads us 10 this view, how much more It's
moral aspect. Mr.. Beecher's advice OF obedience
and submission ia only good in moral point OF
view. after scheme of emancipation is put in OPP
GRAFTON. As part of such scheme it would be adj
missible But though Mr. Beecher suggests such
scheme-in the form of marriage laws, education of
the negroes, and the Lke-he should know it to be
impossible under the existing system. The only
part of his teaching, then, which is LEFT standing is
the incubation of submission on the part Of the
slaves.
We suggest, then, that Mr.. Beecher's moral
treatment of the Slavery question becomes entirely
abortive. Instead of being moral agitatOr, who
thunders the wrongs of Slavery in the ear of the
world and so increases the possibilities of its over
throw, he becomes a mere quietst concerning the
whole subject. But the only form Of moral opposi-
ton to Slavery that can be in the least effective, is
that which invariably shows itself in clear stern, and
uncompromis ng hostility TO the institution, without
regard to the consideration of its minor details. In
attempting scheme whereby these may be ad-
justed in consonance with the dictates of Eternal
Justice, Mr. Beecher utterly fails, as every man
must fail who attempts the impossible.

Mr.. Davis Dem. Miss objected and at some length,

and concsely summed up the sggresso1s of the South

Messrp. Hammond, Fitch, Davis and Wilson, when

HOUsE, Jan. 25.-Members generally came into the
House to-day with the understanding that, under Mr.
Etberidges proposition, they to continue voting
for Speaker without debate for an indefinite period
if no choice was made. Mr.. Hickman "A. L., PENN
however stated that he had intended to resist vote
to-day but he would not interrupt the understanding.
He would however, withhold bis vote, regarding the
arrangement as farce. Some discussion was had as
to the obligation of members to regard the understand
ing alluded to as binding upon them, and the House
proceeded to vote. Mr.. Sherman received 100 votes
five short Of an election. The question was then
raised as to continuance of the voting and after dis
cussion thereon, two more votes were bad with the
same result Adjourned.

The House had several ballotings for Speaker
Yesterday, and Mr.. SheIman's vote reached 10Y, or
within 8 Of an election. Considerable restiyeness
was manifested under the disposition Of the Repub'
lcans and South Americans to continue the ballot
ing steadily until an election should be effected A
number Of the Democrats declared they were not
bound by Mr.. Etheridge's proposition, made on
Wednesday, to go on voting for fortnight; aud
they intended to continue their factious proceed
ings whenever they pleased; which simply meant
that If they saw probability Of Speaker being
elected, they intended to fIbuster to prevent it.
So that the incerdiary and turbulent character Of
the Democratic members las undergone no change
whatever. They still hold the position of ayowiug

An mpuSent attemp. is made here to charge this

Preposterous as is the allegation, the most will be
made of it by the Disunionists in business circles
elsewhere. But Pennsylvanians know better what
is the cause Of the mercantile and manufacturing
depression that exists all over that State. They
know il arises from the loss Of millions and tens Of
millions, within few years, b. the COAL and iron,
and other productive interests Of the State; and
the people of that Commonwealth intend to apply
the best remedy within their reach, about the time
of the next Presidential election. We have long
predicted that the next Presidential battle would
be fought on the hard tmes quite as much ason any
other issue. The country has never recovered
from IFS prostratiOn caused by the mountains Of
debt that crushed all interests in 1857. It's indus
try is palsied to-day in every branch. The ship
ping interest was never more depressed. Tho
great agricultural interest throughout the Wess
stagnates on every prairie. No product ofthe pillow
bears remuneratiDg price in any market Of the
Upper Mississippi Valley. The iron interest and
the wooden interest have suffered, and are suffering
unspeakably. The cotton mills in soms localities
are the sole exceptions to the general prostraion Of
the productive industry Of the Free States. Moth
