WASHINGTON, February 2lst.-SENATE.
The Crittenden resolutions were taken
up.
Wilson spoke at length against the resolu'
tions. All history teaches that Slavery has
fastened the decay and fall of nations. We
learn in the pages of Plato, Socrates, Burke,
Fox, Humboldt, Washington, Jefferson and
Others testimonies which deepen the convic-
tions against slavery, its domination and
expansion. He referred to the speech Of
the Senator from Louisiana Mr.. Benjamin.
When under the pressure of the scorching
arguments of the Senator from Oregon
Baker, he lost his temper and made an as
sault on Massachusetts. Gov. Andrew never
said the invasion of Virginia was right and
never had any sympathy with it,as the Sena-
tor from Louisiana charged. There was no
truth in the accusation that Massachusetts,
sent Senators here to insult the south. He
alluded TO threats unless the north change its
sentiments the Union cannot remain. He
contended that the sentiments of the north
were those of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the founders of the Republic. The
venerable senator from Ky. comes forward as
pacifcator with compromise. He accord
ed to the Senator from KY. purity of mo-
tive and patriotic intentions, but be said the
plan for running the line of $50 30 was
not a compromise but an unqualified con-
cessiOn, cheat, and delusion. The lead
ers of slavery through Paganism had fixed
their hungry eyes on Cuba, Mexico and
Central America and had fought their bat
ties on this question. They were ignomin-
iously beaten by the people and then rebel
ed. The Senator from KY. proposes also to
make a rule applicable to all territory
hereafter to be acquired. The freemen of
the North who fought the battle in Novem-
Der will never accept this. He, Crittenden,
also proposes to insert in the constitution a
provision that Congress shall not abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia while it
exists in Virginia and Maryland Why
should the nation bring itself to wait the
pleasure of Virginia. Such proposition is
an indignity and an insult to the people OF
the United States. The Senator from
KY, seconded by the Senator from Illinois
proposes the election franchise shall not be
exercised by any persons of African race
Why is such proposition made now. This
class of men had exercised the rights of citi-
zenship in Massachusetts for so years and
the ancestors of those men fought with he
roic courage in the revolution for liberty
and independence. The men of the north
could never pat the propositions of the SEN
ator from KY. in the Constitution. They
would fear fthey did the reproaches Of in
suited reason and violated conscience that
their names should be enrolled among those
who has betrayed the cause of the people
and that they would be consigned to the
moral indignation of history.

LINCOLN AT PHILADELPHIA.

The telegraph furnishes the following
fragment of a speech by Mr.. Lincoln at
Philadelphia
The hope that has been expressed by
your Mayor that | may be able to restore
peace, and harmony, and prosperity to the
country is most worthy in him and most
happy indeed will be if l shall be able to
verify and fulfill his expectations. Tremen-
dous cheers. promise you in all sinceri-
ty, that bring to the work a sincere heart;
that | will bring head equal to that heart
il will be for future times to determine II
were useless to speak of details of plans
now. ! shall speak officially on next Mon
day week. If I should not speak then
it would be useless for me to do so now
When do speak / shall take such grounds
as | deem best calculated to restore harmo-
ny and prosperity to the country, and tend
to the prosperity of the nation, and the lib
erty of these states and this people. Your
worthy Mayor has expressed the wish in
which | Join with him, that it were con-
venent for me to remain in your city long
enough to consult with your merchants
and manufacturers, or to listen to these
breathings rising within the consecrated
walls wherein the Constitution of the United
States and the Declaration of Independence
were framed and adopted. Enthusiastic ap-
plause. assure you and your
Mayor 1 had hoped on this occasion and
on all occasions during my life, that
should do nothing inconsistent with the
teachings of these holy and most sacred
walls have never asked anything that
does not breathe from these walls. All my
political warfare has been in favor of the
teachings which come forth from thissacred
edifce. May my right hand forget its
cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth if prove false to these teach
ings.
Fellow-citzens Il have addressed you
longer than l expected to do and now allow
me to bid you good night.
Mr. Lincoln retired and it is supposed
subsequently, held levee. The hotel is
densely crowded this evening with a large
crowd outside Lincoln stands at the head
