Mr.. CLEMENS, Of Va, yesterday took occasion
to utter the words Of sober truth to the world
concerning the disunion movement and Its conse-
quences IL successful, in Of the most effective
speeches ever delivered in the House of Rep.
resentatives Of the United States. Never were
men more appalled, by speech than were those
around him who are plotting and scheming to
destroy the Government Of the United States for
1t told them in unmistakeable tones that they
may not longer hope to disguise from the masses
throughout the South the true character and
quences to the South Of what not long since they
dubbed peaceful and constitutional secession. -
Mr.. Clemens's speech rang In their startled ears
yesterday, like the clang Of FIRE bell at the hour
Of midnight. In fortnight from this time 1t will
be deep in the minds of million Of men south OF
Masons and Dixon's line, with all to lose and
nothing to gain by the destruction of the Union
for the fancied benefit Of the chronic politicians
and would-be generals, colonies, majors, captains
and leutenants, who are working the curren,
dangerous mischief to southern rights and south.

he thought II would be vain endeavor 10 save
the Constitution by the sacrifice Of principles
which underlie and constitute It's vitality. He
stood by the Constitu tuition Ii Is. He denied the
right Of any State to absolve its relations to the
Federal Government; and In view Of the seizure
Of the forts and arsenals IL was the duty Of Con-
gress to strengthen the Executive so as to enable
the President to summon the people to the vindl-
cation of the outraged Constitution and laws. He
but that II would lead to civil war, and the CON-
plete overthrow Of the whole Government. He
would not vote to make this a slave Government,
but he would vote to punish treason and to recap-
ture public property.
Mr.. Clemens in a lengthy speech, opposed
secession, and said that II the Southern States
formed themselves into an Independent confed-
eracy they would never be able to acquire one foot
of territory. He reprobated the idea Of sending
attempting to seek an alliance with Powers that
had once shed their ancestors blood upon our own
soil. and who were now battling against all the
institutions of the South He believed that there
yet sufficient brotherly affection in the minds
OF the people to heal all these difficulties.
Mr.. Wsshburn, of wis spoke In favor Of the
report CT the Committee of Thirty-three, which
slave guarantee into the Constitution, and would
never vote for the admission Of another slave

vIasrsIA.-On Monday last, at nearly every
courthouse through bout Virginia candidates. were
formally nominated for their State convention to
assemble on the Attn prox. In nearly all the coun-
ties parties were divided, and the candidates were
nominated, upon the question whether Virginia
shall at once secede TO take part for veal or for
woe In the movement Of the Gulf States or whether
she shall remain true to her allegiance to the Uni
ted States at least until every conceivable fair and
earnest effort to secure reasonable guarantees Of
southern rights shall have been exhausted.
We are satisfied that the authorities of the non-
slaveholdng states hold in their hands the de-
termination Of the result Of Virginia's election
for the convention. IL they respond frankly to
the proposition of the anti-secession party-thc
msjority-of the Virginia Legislature, for assem-
bling here on the ith proK., five commissioners
from each State disposed to settle the trouble
without q permanent di ssolution Of the Union and
civil war, Virginia will doubtless put her iron
heel upon secession, by sending to the convention
an overwhelming majority firmly opposed to the
destruction Of the Union for the Ike Of its destruc-
ton. and anxious only for a settlement that will
obviate the real existing disabilities of which the
friends Of the Union in the South justly complain.

ENPERoR NAPOLEON ON DsuNoN.-The Paris
correspondent Of the National lntelligencer gives
the following particulars Of q noticeable incident
at the New Years Diplomatic Reception at the
Tuileries:
When the collective reception Of the diplomatic
body was over, the Emperor passed slowly along
the line Of Ambassadors and Ministers, speaking
q few words 10 each In person. After q mcments
conversation with the Persian Ambassador. who
stood at the right OF the Minister Of the United
states, the Emperor approached Mr.. Faulkner,
and cordially shook his hand. The usual words
Of greeting were then exchanged; after which the
Emperor asked, in English:
"Wbat is the latest intelligence you have re-
ceived from the United States, Not 20 alarming,
trust, as the papers represent IL T"
6 Like most nations, Sire" replied Mr.. Faulk-
ner, 1--WE have our troubles, which have lost none
of their coloring, as described In the European
pressn
The Emperor al hope Il 10 not true that any
Of the States have separated from the general Con-
federation !''
Mr. Faulkner "The States stin form one CON-
mon Government, as heretofore. There 10 excite
nent in portions Of the Confederacy, and there
are indications Of extreme measures being adopted
by one or two of the States. But we are familiar
with the eXcitements, az we with the vigof,
which belong to the institutions Of free people
We have already more than once passed through
connections which would have shattered into
fragments any other Government on earth, and
this fact justfes the inference that the strength
of the Union will now be found equal to Il strain
upon it"
