We listened to the speech Of Judge Thurman,
and when we say that IL was the ablest speech
we have ever heard, upon political subjects, We
say nothing but the truth. And all those who

Judge respectful hearing, and we have no
doubt they will feel benefited by having their
minds enlighsened by this able advocate Of con-

every man present on the ground could not hear

the good cause, wherever he may speak.
Take 1t altogether, Friday, the 28th of August,
1853, was the greatest day ever seen In old
Belmont, because it witnessed the greatest as
semb.y Of the people that ever met within the
limits Of the county, and because on that day
were delivered speeches rarely ever equalled 10.

doubt that this Admini5tation intends to break

HABEAs CoRPUs.-It will be seen from

HABEAs CoRPUs.-It will be seen from
an order in another column that Gent
Holmes has been authorized by the Pres
ident to suspend the writ of Habeas Cor
pus throughout the State and the Indian
Territory. This is surprising, but We forbear
comment, further than to hope Gas indeed
we believe) that Gen. Holmes will not ex-
ercise this authority until fully assured
that 1t is authorized under the constitu-
tion and laws of Congress--and only then
in such particular localities as may imper-
atively demand it. 1t would be much
to be regretted that our government, or,
worse still, our rulers without proper au-
tEority conferred by our government,
should now, upon the eve of our final sue
cess, introduce system which, more
than any other has rendered the ad-
ministration of Lincoln odious at home.
and weakened Its powers of prosecuting
the war. In another column will be seen
the evidence of its effects in Kentucky.
But we make no doubt of the patriotic
intentio of the President towards the
Trans-Mississippi department, and hope
that If this measure be taken it will be
with the assent and appreciation of Con-
gress and under circumstances of such
vital Importance as to justify it in the eyes

land and the Gulf States preserved from the
| beginning separate organization, each would
have prospered under its peculiar system of
industry; and friendship would have yet pre-.
| vailed between people of common blood and
mutual interests.
The Northwest is entitled to the free navica-
ton OF the Mississippi, by the law of nations
In time of peace the South would never assert
the right to deny it. 1t would be well to let the
Northwest understand this fully and clearly
But she has not the right, by the law of ma
tons, to introduce her goods into our terri
tories, and sell them to our people. Her citi-
zens have not the right to live and trade
amongst us, but under our suffrance. The
right of transit to the ocean is undeniable.
The right of importation and trade depends
upon treaty. We would accord this by treaty,
IN the most ample manner. We believe it would
be immensely to the benefit of both countries,
and the best guarantee of harmony. We
would allow it to the government of the U. S.
or to any other government which the North
West might form, and much the more willing
ly IN the latter case. The benefits to the North
west are so obvious, that We might rely forever
upon her closest alliance as a friendly nation
whilst the profits from her trade would pour a
Il God of wealth into laps. The immense
granary at our back-the greatest store house
OF the world would be at our service in any
other wars, and so situated as to be beyond any
disturbance from the enemy. Wewould become
through this alliance the importers, the bank
ers, and the carriers by sea of the grain. stock,
and hemp growers of all that mighty valley
These things would inevitably follow the course
of trade, and be retained in our own hands
The system of internal exchange by which
heretofore the whole mass of the proceeds of
that produce passed through the bankers Of
New York to foreign nations would be broken
mp, and all the profits of exchange, and impor-
tations would be our own.
1t is reasonable to believe that outside of a
p olitica union, feeling of brotherhood would
from this mutually benefcent trade, which in
the same political organization would meet
so many disturbing causes, to be impossible.
But the subject is vast one, and in the in
tervals of thought which the more pressing
anxieties of the war allow, may be proftably
treated often and at length

kENTUCKY.-The report of the conditional
secession of Kentucky has not been as yet con-
frmed or denied. The Little Rock Democrat
OF the 18th inst. contains a copy of resolutions
introduced into both houses of the Kentucky
legislature and ordered to be printed After
reciting long list of outrages upon the con-
stitution and the civil rights of the people
committed by the administration, winding up
with the emancipation proclamation, the reso-
buttons proceed to declare. that the State will
protect her citizens in the enjoyment of the
right of the habeas corpus that she rejects as
Offcious the proposition to emancipate her
slaves; that the two emancipation proclamations
Of Pr esident Lincoln are ''not to be submitted
to by people jealous of their liberties;'' that
the admission of Western Virginia as State
is a palpable violation of the constitution,
which she is warranted in refusing TO recog-
nize; that she insists upon an armistics for the
purpose Of arranging terms of peace; and that
commissioners be appointed to visit Washing
ton and Richmond for the purpose of urging
the armistice. These resolutions made. doubt,
less, the foundation of the report. They dc
not amount to secession in themselves, but II

TIE PENNSYLVANIA CANAb.-eh ne

10Th. This Division, which extends .
distance of forty.slx miles from Columbia,
ns far as J notion, where the Pennsy wanna
ea,al is connected with the canal on the
north aud west branches OF the ousque-
hanna river, has been recently very exten-
sively repaired. Many of the Old locks
have been removed, and others, OF larger
and more massive frame of work manshlp,
substituted; and the locks have ali been
widencd to-admit of the passage OF two
boats, either in the same or opposite
directions -. one time TO Accommodate
the increa1 rants of the people trathck'
ing on the upper aud ..ower Juniata Dls
visions of the canal, rhe repairs have been
very heavy. The entire bed OF the canal
has been rebuilt on the Upper Junlata,
from Holiday sburg down to Huntington,
a distance of forty four miles. Formerly
the greatest tonnage that-could be passed
on this Division was about lfo,ooo tons
but the bed of the canal has been deepedcd
to admit of the passage of boats drawing
nearly six feet of water, and the subS.itu
ti,n of new locks fer the old worn out ones
has been more extensively pursued thar
ever in the lower sections OF the canal.
