HANCHETT;S SPEECH.

| On the Goth of May, Hon. LUTHER HAN
cHETT delivered speech in the House of Rep.
resentatiyes on the question of confscating the
/ property of Rebels and annnlling the relation
! between them and their slaves.
| Mr.. Hanchett's speech was a powerful one
free from rant and hyperbole. but imbued with
patriotic sentiment, and moving iuesistibly
forward to its conclusions. We can do no
more in this article than allude TO its leading
ideas, but we have marked passages for future
publication.
Mr.. Hanchett begins by clear statement o.
the object and purposes of the war, which is
9" to sustain the just power and constitutional
supremacy of the Federal Government" and
declares that it should be prosecuted d" until
not single traitor shall be left in arms, or go
unpublished, unless he be saved in the folds of
a gracious amnesty" He next cnmbats the
idea OF converting the rebel States into the
condition of territories. and conclusiyely
shows that State cannot be degraded 10 the
condition of a territory or conquered province
without violating ;hs fundames tai principles
of our Constitution. He shows that the Con-
stitution clothes the Government with ample
power TO use all necessary means to suppress
the rebellion, and urges that at this time, when
we are at wal with those who have violated
their obligations under the Constitution, we
should ourselves take especial care to conform
to its provisions.
In this connection Mr.. Hanchctt makes an
able defence of the course of the President, in
authorizing arrests without the intervention of
the judicial power, and suspending the writ OF
haJeas corpus when applied for in behalf of
persons so arrested. He shows the necessity,
and the constitutional power to take this
course, and declares, ." If fault is to be found
it is in the sparing of power. not in its usur-
patton"
Mr.. Hauchett then shows that 3" the rebel
lion finds It's root and nourishment in the sys-
TEN of chattel slavery at the South ;" and
that the Government has the power to
abolish that system, when the necessity of self
preservation demands it, He meets the obec-
tons TO this course in mastery manner,
treating them fairly, but yet believing there
are other things more sacred than the relation
between rebel masters and their slaves. AL
together the speech docs credit to Mr. Han
ehetts previous reputation, and it reflects, no
doub., the sentiments of a large majority of
his constituents.

erybody knows the II. s. AHen,--the trim

that the tax bill was liable to pass the Senate,

We found Hudson, right there where it al
ways has been, since it has been ut all, and
the people are as accommodating as eyer,--
for instance, they have various little games,
by which when any one gets a surplus of
change, it becomes forfeited for the good of
the whole.
While there we made the acquaintance of
the offic ers of the IVcnona We had noticed
that the Hudson papers spoke very highly Of
Capt. DAN. THAYER, and Clerk J. d. ROBIN
son, but thought perhaps they were only
"pCffin" to pay for free rides, but We are now
convinced that they spoke the actual, factual
truth, and any time these gentlemen wish us
to ride with them. business will be very ur-
