Hawkins OF Florida asked to be excused
from serving. debate cnsued, in the
tho course of which John Cochrane made an
eloquent and patriotic Union speech. Before
deciding the question, the House adjourned.
SENArK.-On the motion to refer the
Presidents Message, Mr.. Hale said the logic
of this controversy 10 war or submlsson.-
The minority must submit to the ma jority. He
made no threats, and spoke without having
consulted anybody; be SPOKE for himself
only ard one little State. Eve must look
this matter straight in the face" Brown
Of Mics, desired to know il Hale presented
the Issue Of war or submission. Hale said
ii must lead to that. He made no threats.
Brown replied, sternly: s'We will not sSbV
show the right"
Ivsrson vas quiet at first, but naughty and
defiant at the end. He accepted the Prssi-
dents declaration, that secession 10 revolu-
tion. "The States understand that they do
it At the peril Of consequences" He did not
believe il would lead to war, bat il it should,
the South 10 prepared to receive it, enemies
with bloody hands and hospitabls graves
He hoped there would BE- no war-that W
would live in peace.
The South would regard tho North among
the most favored Of nations, and to treat
with her, but to remain in tho Union she
would not. No power on earth could pre-
vent her withdrawab The repeal Of all the
personal liberty bills OF the North would be
in vain. sTrne, they are obnoxious, but We
know their existence shows the feeling OF the
people. They indicate two distinct oiviliZa-
tons. The hatred OF the North for tho
South is deep AZ hell, and tell my brethren
on the other side Of the floor no love is lost
| between us. Two hostile nations occupy
| this hoer. We are enemies. They did not
come across this floor to extend Us ordinary
civilities, yesterday, nor did we 60 to them.
We are hostile. The State represent ao-
| cepts the issue Of war or submission"
We will not submit. tell .hc gentlemen
South Carolina will not go alone. Florida,
Alabama, Missiesippi and Georgia, will all
be out By January 10th, never to return; and
ia less than twelve months after our Govern
mont will be in operation, Arkansas and
Louisiana will follow. One thing only pro-
vents Texas-that Ia her Governor; and ii
he does not yield to overwhelming public
sentiment, some Texan Brutus will reach bis
heart, and rid the world Of vile and hoary-
headed traitor"
Mr.. lversen discarded all shame, saving
that the election OF Linco ln was no cause for
secession; but the South would not be gov
srned by tho North, and intended to go out
while she had strength, not to wait until she
was too weak.
Douglas snt Sowing in bis seat; South
ern men lnoksd cool. The Northern men
were calm and collected. Crittenden was
profoundly moved, and the galleries wore
a.tounded. JEFF. Davis, in quick decisive
way, said he came as Il Senator Of the United
States. While there is vet no declaration Of
war against the States Of which We are mere
ambassadors, he would discharge bis duty as
Senator, and would say nothing on the sub
jscs.
French View Of che Prince Of wales,
vtSitIc America.
The Paris Constitutional of the 18th ult.
SAYS:
| I'VE are rather inclined to think that the
visit vi the Prince not only excited great
curiosity among the Americans, but also an
eager desire to show themselves frankly hos.
pitahle towards the future sovereign OF the
Old Country. They rarely have an opportu-
nifty Of contemplating bona fde Prince Of
the royal blood--the heir Of European
crown honoring them with = visit for the
purpose OF instruction and recreation. Be-
aides, the Prince Of Wales awakened in them
al the "reminiscences OF the cradle OF their
race he 10 q descendant OF tho kings or
their forsfashers. The great grand son OF
George Ill wished TO see for himself the as
tonishing progress which they had realized !;
and they felt proud Of being able to offer 10
| his view the " sctacle Of their rapid pros
perity. George iii lost thirteen provinces !;
HE descendant found thirty 1ourishing States
united in a powerful republic. The three
nillions Of English subjects have in eighty
years increased to thirty millions Of indie
| pendent citizens. How could the Americans
do otherwise than give q cordial wclcomc to
the eldest son of the Queen OF England,
who had come 30 far to shake hands with
them in the name Of the mother country p
They saw themselves eourtad, and made no
difficulty in becoming conrtiers in their turn.
We may also remark that tho republicans
Of the New World showed themselves oil the
more open and generous in their manifesto
lions Of hospitality, that they are conscious
OF their strength, and that their indspen-
dence 10 irrevocably secured. Several in.
stances might be cited to show tho truth OF
this remark Of New York. The bell Of
the Oldest Episcopalian Church pealed ont
"God save the Queen" No citsen was
alarmed thereby; and yet, when DR.. Irving,
the officiating minister Of that church just
after the Declaration Of independence, had
the imprsdencc to read the usual prayer for
the King OF England, hewas expelled from
his incnmbency. Now, tho English national
bYMn can DO longer offend any American
