COLONEL BENTON ON THE SLAVERY
AGITATION. -

From vol. II of Thirty Years In the Senate"
"The regular Inauguration of this slavery
agitation dates from the year 1885 but it had
commenced two years before, and in this way
notification and disunion had commenced In
1880 upon complaint against protective tariff.
That, being put down in 1888 under President
Jackson's proclamation and energetic meas
ures, was Immediately substituted by the slavery
agitation. Mr.. Calhoun, when he went home
from Congress in the spring Of that year, told
his friends that the South could nerer be uni
ted against the North on the tariff question:
that the sugar interest Of Louisiana pouid keep
her out-and that the basis Of Southern union
must be shifted to the slape question. Then all
the papers in his interest, and especially the
one at Washington, published by Mr.. Duff
Green, dropped tariff agitation, and commenced
upon slavery, and in two years had the agi-
tation ripe for Inauguration on the slavery ques.
ton. And, in tracing this agitation to its pres.
ent stage, and to comprehend its rationale, it is
not to be FORGOTTEN that it is mere continuation
of old tariff disunon, and preferred because
more available"

The resolutions were as follows:
"ReSolred, That the provisions of the Con.
stitution are ample for the preservation of the
Union, and the protection of all the material
interests Of the country; that it needs to be
obeyed rather than amended and that an ex.
trication from our present dangers is to be
looked for in strenuous efforts to preserve the
peace, protect the public property, and enforce
the laws, rather than in new guarantees for
particular interests, compromise for particular
difficulties, or concessions to unreasonable de-.
mands.
"Resolred, That all attempts to dissolve the
present Union, or overthrow or abandon the
present Constitution, with the hope or expecta.
ton of constructing a new one, are dangerous,
illusory, and destructive that in the opinion
of the Senate of the United States, no such re-.
construction is practicable, and therefore to the
maintenance Of the existing Union and Consti.
tuition should be directed all the energies of all
the departments of the Government, and the
efforts of all good citizens"

sever and destroy the only good Government on

Haman's gallows ought to be the fate of all such

try in civil war; and all the evils in its train,
that they might reign and ride on its whrl.
winds, and direct the storm. The free people
Of these United States have spoken, and con.
signed these wicked demagogues to their proper
doom. Take care of your nulli6ers; you have
them among you; let them meet with the in
dignant frowns Of every man who loves his
country. The tariff, it is noU known, was a
mere pretext. Therefore, the tariff
was only the pretext, and disunon and South.
ern Confederacy the real object. The next
pretext will be the negro or slavery ques.

BD~ Mr.. Simmons, in his remarks in the
Senate on Wednesday, noted the following
corious facts:
Compliant had been made OF personal lib
erty bills. Now, the Massachusetts personal
liberty bill was passed by Democratic House,
Democratic Senate, and signed by Demo
cratic Governor, a man who was afterwards
nominated by Mr.. Polk for the very best office
in New England, and was unanimously con.
frmed by Democratic United States Senate.
Further than this, the very first time the atten.
ton of the Massachusetts Legislature was
called to the propriety of repeal of this law
was by Republican Governor Governor
Banks Now, on the other hand, South Caro-
lima had repealed a law imprisoning British
colored sailors, but retained the one imprison.
ing those coming from States inhabited by her
own brethren.N

DIsUNIoN AT PHILADELPHIA.-There was
disunion meeting at Philadelphia on Wednes-
day, addressed by Messrs. V. s. Bradford, Jo.
siah Randall, William B. Reed, United States
District Attorney Wharton, Benjamin Brewster,
and others.
Great disapprobation was manifested by the
audience, who gave cheers for General Scott,
for Ma jor Anderson, and for the Union.
Among others, were resolutions, "that a
State Convention be called to de ermine with
whom the lot of Pennsylvania should be cast,
whether with the North and East, whose fanati.
cism has precipitated this misery upon us, or
with our brethren of the South, whose wrongs
we feel as our own, or whether Pennsylvania
will stand by herself as a distinct community,
ready, when occasion offers, to bind together
the broken Union, and resume her place Of
loyalty and devotion"
The whole thing was fzzle. Randall, Reed,
and men of that stamp, have too much regard
for their precious necks, to Join the secession,
otherwise than on paper.

New YORK CITY.-The trade of New York
for the first fortnight of 1861, compared with
the first fortnight of 1860, has been as follows:
Imports. Exports.
1860 $4,6l7,740 $2,537,726
1861 6,57O,734 5,Ol9,l79
A part of this increase is due to the pros.
perity of the West, and the surplus of bread.
stuffs and provisions for expectation. But
part of it is due to the following cause, noticed
by New York paper:
The unsettled state of affairs in the South,
and the danger to all property in Southern
ports, are forcing great deal OF trade into the
city of New York"
If Virginia and Maryland keep out of seces.
sion, they will have great deal Of the trade
which has gone to Southern ports. A large
part of the cotton crop will be shipped from
Baltimore, Alexandria, and Norfolk.

REVOLUTIONARY ORGANIZATION.
At the meeting here, about a week ago, of
the secession Senators and chiefs, at which
Jefferson Davis was agreed upon as command.
er.in.chief Of the revolutionary forces, the
following four gentlemen were designated as
major generals, viz: General Lane, Albert
Pike of Arkansas, Colonel II. Marshall of Ken
tucky, and General Harney, U. S. A. As the
last two gentlemen are friends of the Union,
new designations must be made.
The contest between Hunter and Breckin
ridge for the Southern Presidency is said to be
iercely waged.

THE APPROXIMATION OF MEXICO.
The principal resolution of Mr.. Crittenden,
as amended by Mr.. Powell, in the Senate, on
Wednesday, by the insertion of the words in
italics, was as follows:
ain all the territory of the United States
now held or hereafter acquired, situated north
of latitude 360 30/, slavery or involuntary ser
vitude, except as a punishment for crime, is
prohibited while such territory shall remain un.
der Territorial Government. In all the terri
tory south of said line of latitude, noW held or
to be hereafter acquired, slavery of the African
race is hereby recognised as existing, aud
shall not be interfered with by Congress, but
shall be protected as property by all the de.
partments Of the Territorial Government du.
ring its continuance" &c.
Upon the fair construction, and upon the
construction intended by Mr.. Critteuden, the
resolution was not altered by the addition of
the words in italics. 1t was so stated by Mr..
Douglas and others in the discussion upon it.
Colonel Baker, of the Republicans, voted for
the addition, not because he was in favor Of
what the addition provided for with such su.
perabundant caution, but to the end that there
might be no possible ambiguity about the reso.
ton, and that the most careless reader should
see its defermity at a glance.

Education and Freedom.

In all history no brighter page can
be found than the present. Nothing
in the history of Greece and Rome
can compare with the present epoch
in the history of America. No where
is the influence of education seen
more clearly than in government, the
most oppressive tyranny always be-
ing found where the greatest degree
OF ignorance prevails. The Italian
revolution of 1859 may be cited as an
example of the influence Of American
ideas of education and government.
Soon after that period Garibaidi de-
creed spot Of ground for the erec-
tion of a chapel devoted to Protestant
worship, not in Florence, but in Ma
pies. Such was the glorious result Of
American ideas. Tyrants have al
ways known the truth that education
is mighty conservator Of freedom.

The lesson of to-day is most potent

their expressions. Rebellion implies
an unlawful ambition, which relies for
its success mainly upon ignorance and
treason. The present war is q meas

try is now saved in this time of peril,
it will not be on account of the poll
