The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher publishes in tn's
weeks Independent, an calculation Of tho question
recently discussed in the Plymouth Church, and de-
fines bis own position as regards that topic as wei
as upon The general subject Of Slavery IN justice
10 him, we extract the following passage FROM bis
statement:
"Great pains have been taken to spread sbroad the
rumor that We have changed our ground, and Yeeeded
from foI mer Anti Slavery opinions. 1t is needless to
cav that we have given mp nothing, changed nothing,
eAcept ~ bud changes to blossom, and blossom 70
a fruit. We never athOrred Slavery so much. We
never more dreaded it's malignant Influences both upon
bite and black upon civil and religious institutions.
We never were more invincibly determined to make
terms with it, but to carry legitimate TO the end
and destruction of it. But, for that very sake we
,ha yefuse zeal without knowledge, and all bigotry
of ADti-Savery feeling and all attempts TO punish men
for variation Of belief on Anti Slavery doctriIe
This is sufficiently explicit. We need hardly say
we have never questioned Mr.. Beechers motives or
aims. So far as tbcse go, one might apply to
him the sentiment expressed by Junius in regard
10 Horne Tooke, which the latter said would make
as COED an epitaph as he wanted; that ne was
man Of excellent intentions. We cheerfully accord
this merit to Mr. Beeeher

AT WARRINGTON YESTERDAY.

A very charming discourse was delivered in the
Senate yesterday by Mr. Fitch Of Indiana, on
Squatter Sovereignty, Senator Douglas, and
Slavery. We do not know when we have felt the
ncisve ire Of speech more than in perusing the
brief report the telegraph gives us Of this effort Of
the ntrudng representative of Indiana in the senate
He denounced Mr.. Douglas, and said that gentle
man held views On Squstter Sovereignty at yari-
ance with those of large majority Of the Demo
cratic party and if be were Nominated at Charles.
ton by the South, that section would forfeit the
confidence Of its friends and earn tue ,ntempt of
its enemies. He avOwed bis own determined hos
tility TO Douglas and exhibited evidences OF unusual
sincerity in his declarations on this head. lie did
not say he hated him with an inexpressible hatred
but unless he feels an emotion toward him very
closely kin to this he was unfortunate in the choice
of his language. Mr.. Douglas responded to Fitch
with the bitter taunt that he would have done
better to have made biz speech in Indiana before
the late Convention in that State, which chose
Douglas Dcleg, tes 10 Charleston.
The exceeding harmony of the members Of the
Sham Democracy as disclosed BY these snd sunni

gentlemen. None Of the Standing Committees will

An example was yesterday made by the Court Of
Oyer and Ternliner, and one which We trust will
have the most sautary effect upon that Infamous
class, the ticket swindlers who have 80 long been
the shame Of the city. A fellow named Frank
Fowler, once policeman, but of late years no
torious cheat, was convicted of selling worthless
ticket to a DOR German, Who wished to go to Bre-
men, and sentenced BY Justice Ingrahsm to the
State Prison for two years and three months. The
Judge in passing sentence declared that, ofar as ne

which it is in the discretion Of the Court to impose,

Thetiia of Stephens and Hszlett, two OF Browns
associates in the invasion of Harpor's Ferry,

was thrODged by persons anxious to witness the pro-
ceedings. The Court was opened on Wednes-
day, and the Grand jury charged by Judge John
Kenny, when be took occasion to refer specially
and at some length to the invasion of Harper's
Ferry. The Grand Jury, after del beration, re-
turned with bill charging Stephens with murder
and treason, and cOnspring with slaves to create a
rebellion. They also subsequently bscught in a
similar indictment against Hazlett. The impannel-
inc of Jury TO try Stephens was postponed till
yesterday. The prisoners viii be defended by Mr..
sennott, and the Commonwealth will be repre-
,epted BY Mr. Hunter. There appears to be no
excitement or fear of a rescue, and no occasion for
an increase of the military force now Ut Charles

The steamer America, with Liverpool dates to
the 14th ult. and Queenstown the 18th, one day
later than those by the City Of Manchester reached
Halifax yesterday afternoon. The object OF Lord
Cowley's mission to London is stated to be for the
purpose of resuming the negotiations between En-
gland and France, interrupted BY the opposition OF
Count Wslewski. Non-inteyention in the affairs
Of Central Italy said to be the princpeo these ne
gotiAsions. France is represented rs being de-
sirous that the whole of Europe should give it's
formal assent to this principle. The British Cabi-
net. while ready to support this principle In the
Congress, or in o note to the European Powers,
could give no pledge, without the consent of Paris-
ment, to course Of policy which might lead to
hostlitss 1t was thought that Europe would not
scquiesee in the principle, opposed, as it was, to
the independence Of every State which possesses
the right of forming alliances In consequence OF
the position of the Brtish Cabinet the question Of
an early meeting of the Congress ia revived. On
the other hand, The London Tunes states that En-
gland asd France have folly agreed to recognize
and protect the Central italian States. rumor,
which was doubted, however prevailed that the
Emperor of Austria had invited Russia add Prus-
STA TO defend the legitimate rights of monarchs. A

to yield the Romsgna, provided the remainder OF
his donations be secured to him. The reported

The telegraph brings us the gratifying intelligence
of the election of Salmon J.. Chase OF Ohio 60
United States Senator for six years, from the 4th
Of March, 1861. he will take the seat vacated at
that time BY Mr. Pueb, who succeeded him in the
same place in 1855.
The election of Gov. Chase is just tribute to
his exalted character bis distinguished talents, and
the strict fidelity to principle which has al Ways
marked his public career. AS he was one OF tue
earliest among the leading Statesmen Of the coun-
try to identity himself with the Republican party,
when such step tested the earnestDess of mans
convictions, and his moral courage he still remains
one of it's chief representatives, now that it has
ri,en to be power 10 the l,od, and is on the eve
of taking the Government iuto it's hands.
Mr.. Chase returns to Washington with ma
topal reputation Of an enviable charater. AS q
legislator of clear ideas and infexible purposes, as
well as of prudence and wisdom, his eIninence is
marked and indisputabe. His great admnistrs-
tive ability has been strikingly illustrated in the
four years Of his career ~ Governor Of Ohio.
And While his presence in the Senate must at all
times add to the usefulness and dgnrty Of tho body
it ia especially to be desired in the present embar
rassmept of the country and the Government,
growing out of the folly and corruption OF our
financial policy. The stern economy and rigid hon
esty with which the reputation of Mr. Chase is
synony nous, will powerfully aid in achieving that
great reform which must follow the Inauguration of
tho Republican President on the 4th of March,
1861.
