Colonel De Hass' Address.

We publish this morning, the address o.
Colonel De HAss to the people of this Con
gressional District. This important docu
ment will, doubtless, be read with care by
every intelligent voter, and the effect will
certainly be favorable on the public mind.
The Colonel is a fine wYiter, Is man OF
brilliant talents, and is ar6eutly devoted to
his country-having spent two years in the
army in its defence. Every Union man will
certainly most heartily agree that bis past
liff, and his present position are ample
guarantees for his future action and good
faith
Parkersburg already having United
States Senator, the Governor, aud the
United States Judge, it is thought that 1t
would not be immodest in this end OF the
District to ask at least the Member of Con-
gress
1t is probable, too, that the Colonel
would make record in Congress that he
would not be ashamed of, and would not
feel called upon to deny for popular favor
1t is..not probable that he would feel called
upon to profess to be an Abolitionist in one
end of the District, and a Conservative in
she other. He is perfectly willing, we I'M
derstand, to stand or fall on his published
declarations and on his past actions No
criuging for popular favor in that quarter.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.


WEDNESDAY, Oct. IA
The President being absent Mr.. Hubbard
was called to the chair.
The Senate was opened with prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Wylie.
Mr.. Maxwell from the committee on
Courts of Justice reported back House Bill
authorizing suits to be brought in the coun-
ties of Kanawha, Lewis and Doddridge, IN
cases heretofore cegnizable in certain other
counties. ~ ~l
The bill was passed.
The Senate bill relating to Collectors Of
the Revenue, was taken up and passed. :,
Mr.. Brown offered resolution, which
was adopted, that the Committee on Courts
of Justice be requested to inquire whether
any, and if so, what legislation is necessary
to compel the attendance of absent mem
bers, under and by virtue of the 9th sec
ton of the 4th article of the Constitution
and that they report by bill or otherwise.
The Senate then took up the bill in rela-
ton to iuries, upon which the balance o
the merning was spent.
Adjourned.

legation, Otherwise all Is Lost.

Honest, and for the most part, reasonable
men, have been heard to say, that they see
no way now but to fight it out, and free
the negroes once for all. That persons who
confine their reading t. Abolition newspa
pers should come 10 this conclusion is no
way surprising, for it is the very drift and
burtheu of all their discourse. 1t compri-
SEES the end they aim at, and the means of
its accomplishment. But no delusion can
b. greater than is implied by this form of
expression. The course OF conduct that
mast follow its adoption, as policy, is no.
thing less than converting the suppression
Of the rebellion into the means Of effecting
a revolution. 1t is revolt against the
very Government in whose defence the peo-
pie took up arms; whose defence alone can
justify any hostile movement. 1t makes us
present to angels and men the wicked and
awful spectacle of rebels contending with
rebels. The same men that are now laborI,
ing in various parts Of the country, in some
cases by persuasion, and the offer of boun- (
ties the means for which are said to he sup.
piled from the North, and in others by
press gangs, to enlist negroes who owe ser
vice and labor TO loyal men, are bound ~
those very men by constitutional obligations
to return those negroes, if found fugitive.

Ger OF their pretended government, man
we'll known in the nation, Of Nigh honor,
and once. of undoubted patriotism, and his
approach was forbidden. We refused the
Crittenden Compromise. If the Commis-
sioners had Ibeenfeceived, what arguments
might, through them, havo been addressed
to the recusant South? If the mission OF
Mr.. STEPHENS had been accepted, how
might the former eglories of the republic,
and its present and pending calamities have
been used to shame him and his fellow-cit-
zens out Of secession into Union, Ii Mr..
SEWARD is diffident of his capacity to cope
with Southern diplomacy, he well knows
there are those among US who need have no
such distrust of themselves. 1t is a pity
that men should continue to be killed in the
field, because in council we are inferior to
our antagonists, and are only superior in
military strength. Our brave soldiers should
not be made to bear burdens inflicted by
incompetent craftsmanship. They should
not be sacrificed to the weakness of the
cabinet. Nor, however weak it may be, is
this necessary, if the administration is hon
est, Mr.. SEWARD need not even resign. Let
him advise the selection and appointment
of FIVE, seven or any number of commits
sioners, including, perhaps, Mr.. fillmore
and the other eminent citizens. to meet the
same, or any other number to be selected
on behalf of the States pretended to be Sc
coded, to confer upon, and propose some
settlement of the pending controversies
They may agree upon union, aud thus the
Union may be saved. 1t can never be saw
ed by force. f7'
This is one of the many modes of restor-
ing to US our country, which will occur to
any one who is truly DESTROYS of accomplish
ing that end.
In short, if the administration will for
the next three months evince by its acts
the same disposition for peace, that for any
three months in the past it has shown by
its treatment of Southern men and interests,
its preference for war, it will do more to-
wards pacifcation, than it will otherwise
accomplish by the immolation of a million
men in war.
Neither fighting it out in the present
temper, nor freeing the negroes by force,
will relieve the country. For one grief
they dispelled, hundred will come in its
place. &c, '..

not subdue the South else than by making
it an abolition war, and they have done So
