THE FAcr CONCEDED.

| The Republican party holds that slavery
is rrong, and ought to be treated as such
by the General Government, subject only
TO the restraints imposed upcn its action
by the Federal Constitution. ~his they
claim was the doctrine also Of the trainers
Of the Government, and that they conf
dently believed the provisions Of the
Constitution, if lived up to, would secure
the ultimate extinction of slavery. Those
who have read the Cooper Institute speech
of Mr.. LINCOLN, will remember that great
part of it was devoted to the calculation Of
this fact, and that the argumen. was con-
elusive and unanswerable. Still j, has been
the fashion Of the pro.slavery leaders Of
the Democracy both in the free and slave
States, to deny the historical fact as well
as to claim that the Constitution, il properly
interpreted, provides for the indefinite ex-
tension of Slavery. But now that the
South has seeded, Southern Democrats
feel at liberty to speak frankly on this sub
jeet. Hon. A. II. STEPHENS, q whilom
leader of the Douglas Democracy, bu, now
Vice President of the New Coufederacy,
has recently made speech at Augusta, in
the course Of which he addressed himselft to
this point as follows: .....
In the fourth place. AMI the principal and mos
important point of alive have settled and trust
settled forever The question which the prime
of separa from the uuited statesI mean
the question Of African Slavery. Ist old Consfita-
tioa set out icik irrony idea on this subject II
based upon prsaeipie; 1t iras toaa-
ded upon the idea tia! African siautry is rron9
and IL looked forward 10 the ultimate ertineiion of
that institution But time has proved the error and
we have corrected 1t in the new Constitution.
Here is complete and unequivocal con-
fession that the Republicans have been
right all the time; that the Dem ocracy are
in the wrong and that the South has with
drawn from the Union simply because a
party has come into power that is in favor
of the Constitution as our fathers made it.

! FRANKreRr, March a6.-Mr. Crittenden
spoke to- dav according to appointment. His
| speech was strong appeal for unconditional
| Union. He said Kentucky vas the 6rs, State
admitted under the Constitution, and would
be the last TO 20 out. Secession was NO
remedy for any troubles that might exist, but
wousd prove an aggravation of difficulties.
He asowed it his belief tha. the people Of
the North loved those of the South, and
cherished the Union above party platforms.
and would nos permit the continuance Of
wrongs upon any section. Kentucky would
stand frn, if all the rest Of the South we're
TO go. Though alone in her loyalty, she
would grasp the flag Of the Union, and die
among the falling columns Of our Confcde.
racy. As things now were, she hoped to
win the rash South back By her patriotic
example.
Mr.. Crittenden declared himself non
coercionist. lie believed also that our
country could not support two Governments.
Secession was a terrible deiusion; better
remedies were to be found in the Union.
The speaker referred to Mr.. Clay's great,
speech Of 1850, 10 which he prophesied that
two parties-one for Union, the other for
Disuuion-wonldspring up. That prophecy
was now fulfilled.
When shall Kentucky 20 out Of the
Union2 continued Mr.. Crittenden. ssNevsr,
never, nevert' II be were the last man to
support it he would still be for Union.
The whole speech was eminently conserva-
tive. The old man threw his whole soul
into the cause which he so eloquently plead.
1t was among the finest efforts of his advan-.
eing age.

MR. CRITTENDEN AMONG HIS CONSTITU
ENTS.

II, E
ENTS.
During the late session of Congress, Mr..
CRIrrENpEN, with persistence and devotion
worthy nobler object, lent himself chiefly
to the advocacy of degrading concessions to
the Secessionists of the South. He conjured
the Republicans to abandon every distinctive
principle they fought for during the existence
of the party, and to adopt measures OF
political polity the very opposite of those
upon which the Presidential battle last Fall
was fought and won. Nothing less would
save this Government from disintegration.
and consequent civil war and anarchy
Southern institutions were in danger
Southern rights had been invaded and denied
and "Disunion would follow unless some
thing was DONE" That "something,' he
said should consist of Slave Code for the
Territories. To this proposition he persist
" clung to the very last hour of Congress,
but failed to secure for it the votes Of a
majority of his compeers in the Senate.
But, Mr.. CRIrrENpEN in the Senate, and
Mr.. CRIrrESDEN among his constituents, sin
his old Kentucky Home," are two very diff
ferens persons. Indeed, there would seem
to be no link Of connection or relation what
ever in a political point of view, between
them. The CRlrrESDES that made the
glorious Union speech before the Legislature
Of Kentucky, on the Goth inst, would seem to
be in nowise politically related to the author
Of the famous "Critsenden Compromise"
The following extract from the Union speech
of Mr.. CsrrrESpES, before the Legislature,
will show the dissimilarisy Of views enter

THE LADY DAVIS.

This is the august name Of the first vessel
Of war which the Confederated States have
commissioned. Lady Davis is, we presume,
the Confederationese for Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, and the title may be regarded as the
earliest step toward the state Of social
perfection contemplated by our Cotton
Brethren.
Heretofore, but one American woman has
been honored with the title Of iadv, and
Lady Washington seems to have been 90
ennobled rather by the postum Gus toa yism
of fine writer's than by the custom of her
cotemporaries. During her lifetime she
was known as Mrs. Washington, and this,
was thought to be distinction enough.
Our Cotton Brethren had doubtless Lady
Washington in their minds, when The bril-.
liant idea Of Lady Davis occurred to them.
The parallel attitude Of Gen. Washingtou
and Gen. Davis inrelstioD to infant repub.
lies, would naturally suggest the proprlety
Of dignifying the wife Of the latter, BY the
title which questionable taste has bestowed
upon the wife Of the former.
It will do for the Cottoncracy very well.
All their performances are sbans, Of eresteS-
or less fImsiness. By all means let % havs.
