OF liberty, That is tio influence which
in proximity to the old Hall of Indepen-
dcnce forbids one Of the intellects of the
country to speak words of freedom.
That is the cause which, on a battle
ground of the revolution, would stitle the
prayer of one Of the ablest and best Of
Americas clergymen for the breaking of
the bonds of the slave. That is the pow
er that stands censor over the press, and
demands that men shall regulate their
conscience by its standard-demands
that they shall reverse their moral con-
victions, and declare Slavery right and
just Plainly CHARLES O'CoGoR, Mr..
Mason, and others, tell us that we must
reverse our opinions Of Slavery, we must
recognize It's humanity, its divinity, be-
fore an end can come of Ills agitation,
! and confidence be restored. So long as
we regard Slavery as bad thing, SO
long will we fight against lis extension
So long as we oppose its spread, 50 long
must these difficulties ensue That Is
the argument, and it is good one
These things, then, indicate that nc
reace can come until Northern sentiment
is revolutionized, and until as Mr.
! O'CoNoR demands, there shall be no
moral basis to political action. We mus
give up tie right to speak and to write
sentiments against Slavery. The pulpi
must proclaim the righteousness Of Tx
| institution or be silent. The press mus
be allowed to discuss it only in the weir
of eulogy. Physical punishment and in
dignity must be the reward Of him who
dares to question its justice or its bene
fit. Then we shall have peace, but VIZ
will have lost our liberty. That is The
price the South is paying for Slavery
and that is what we of the North are
asked to pay for its existence in the Tn.
ion 1t has already robbed us Of ouI
greatest privileges, and our highest glo
ry. Shall we consent to be further de-
based by it? The triumph Of RepubIi
canism answers in an emphatic, no.

He favored Mr. Crittenden's proposition.
The Vice President announced the Com
mittee on Powell's resolution as follows :
Powell, Hunter, Crttenden, Seward,
Toombs, Douglas, Collamer, Davis,
Wade, Bigler, Rice, Doolittle, Grimes.
The House went into Committee Of
the Whole on the bill granting lands to
Nebraska for Railroads. The Commit
tee adopted Curtis's substitute, which
provides for start from the Western
borders of Missouri and Iowa, two con
yerging lines uniting within goo miles
of the Missouri River, thence one line tc
California. Also for two convergina
lines from Fort Smith and the Western
border of Louisiana to unite with the
Southern Pacific Road chartered by Tex
as.
The bill was adopted by vote of OF
against 70.

G1- The Dubuque Herald chooses 10
assume that the people of Iowa now re-
grets the election of Lincoln, and the
triumph of Republican principles. The
Herald certainly misrepresents the tone
Of Buchanan County sentiment. The
only fear that we have heard expressed
by Republicans is that the leaders at
Washington may be induced to surren-
der something Of the principle for which
the party has been contending. This
would do more TO demoralize and des-
troy the party than any threat, or con-
summation, Of secession. We hope no
representative Of Iowa will lend himself
to such an arrangement.
