Money was no longer needed for that
purpose. The time had come for the
old tocsiu to sound Millions for de-
fence not one cent for tribute" Mill
ions of dollars and strong arms TO de-
fend our country against slave masters !;
not one for tribute for them. Every
dollar for compensation paid should go
to the slave. He commended that the
pretensions of compensation for the re-
nunciation of system too disgusting
to picture or detail, was odious. Slave
ry must be overthrown: first by the
courts declaring and applying the true
principles of the Constitution second,
by Congress in the exercise of tile pow
ers which belong to it; and third, by
the people, by amending the Constit,ii-
ton to that end. As the courts had
failed to do their duty, Congress, by a
single brief statute will sweep slavery
out of existence. If Congress may not
do this, let the fugitive slave law be re-
pealed, and all others conflicting with
the rights of colored persons. But be-
yond all, the people must put the cap
stone on the glorious structure by an
amendment to the Constitution. While
he was desirous of seeing the great rule
of freedom which we We're about to or
dain embodied in text which should
be like the precious casket to the more
precious treasure, he was consoled by
the thought that the most homely text
containing such rule would be more
beautiful far than any passage of poetry
or eloquence Of words, and would be
read with gratitude when the rising dome
Of this Capitol, with the statue of Lib
erty which surmounted it, had crumbled
into dust.

INDIANA ToBAoco.-From fifteen to
twenty-five wagons loaded with tobacco
pass through this city, says the N. AL
bany Ledger, daily, for the Louisville
market. All this tobacco is the growth
of Bloyd, Harrison, Orange, and Wash
ington Counties, in this State. The
crop has just commenced moving, and
the quality of the tobacco is said to be
excellent. The crop through this Sec
ton of Indiana last year was much hea,
vier than ever before. A tobacco ware.
house here is badly needed, and would
add very largely to the constant and
rapidly increasing trade of ". Albany
Why some of our capitalists do not e
rect such warehouse here, is matter
9f surprise to all those acquainted witt
the tobacco trade.

~ Atterbury, the celebrated Bish-
op of Rochester, who fourished III the
time of Queen Anne, happened to re-
mark in the House of Lords, while spea5
king on certain bill then under dis
cussion, that he had prophesied, during
the previous winter, that the bill would
be again brought forward, and he was
now very sorry to find that he had pro-
we'd true prophet. Lord Goningsbury
who spoke after the Bishop, in his usu-
al abusive style, desired the House to
take notice that one of the right rever-
end prelates had set himself forth as a
prophet; but for his part he was at a
loss what prophet to liken him to, unless
it was the famous prophet Balaam, who
was reproved by his own ass.
Atterbury, in reply, calmly exposed
the rude attack, concluding as follows
I" Since the noble Lord has discovered
in our manners such a similitude, / am
content to be compared to the prophet
Balaam-but, my Lords, j am at a loss
how to make out the other part Of the
parallel am sure / have not been &c
proved by anybody but his lordship."

How They Talk.

At st. Patrick's festival in Debuque,
Iowa, on the 18th ult., George w.
Jones, who has acquired some notorie-
ty as the traitor who took the part of
the rebels while acting as Minister of
the Government at foreign court, re-
sponded TO the toast of "thH United
States" Here is what he said, as the
Debuque Times reports it:
"Gentlemen, | beg you to believe me
when l assure you candidly that / had
no idea when i came here Tonight that
1t should become my duty to respond
TO any of the sentiments which might
be propounded here on this occasion,
and least of all do feel able to express
myself fifty and freely in answer to the
TOAST you haye just read. To speak in
response to a toast regarding the United
States of America, is to me embarrass-
ing in the highest degree. Where are
the United States of. America? Echo
answers" wherer' There are no U.
States of America, If the toast APP
pointed for me to respond to had been
the dis-pnited States of America, could
have responded with far greater. ease.
1t Is possible that the South may be
conquered; it is possible they may be
put down by the Northern States, divi-
ded as they have been, and rs l fear
they will hereafter be by the British Ii
on.
4 y x a.
But if England had not interfered,
the history might have been different.
When the war commenced, Victoria
promised to be neutral; the other gov
ernments of Europe promised to be neu-
trail; but England basely violated her
pHghted honor; the European govern
mcnts have not been neutral; if they
had, the Southern States would have
been free long ago"
MIR. Jones is leading Democrat of
Iowa, and has been nearly rs fully can
onized rs a Saint as Vallangham. He
was arrested by order of the Secretary
of State on his return to this country
for his scandalous treason abroad, and
put in Fort Lafayette. The Democrat
ic papers all over the country straight
way sprinkled the "martyr" with their
tears, and set him up as the idol of par
ty worship. He brought suit against
Mr.. Seward for fal Sc imprisonment, and
the case IS sill pending. His speech at
the festival shows that the only unfor-
tunate thing about his Imprisonment is
that it is over. The scoundrel, who has
Leen member of the II, S. Senate, and
represented the government as Min
ister, openly laments the prospect that
the rebel States may be compelled to
remain in the Union, and fiercely de-
nounccs foreign governments for not
being more friendly to them. His au-
dience was made up of Copperheads,
or they would have kicked him ont of
the room. With such leaders, who
wonders that mobs of X. G.. C.'s are
shooting soldiers, and threatening rebel
ion all over the West? Such sentiments
are exactly fitted to such actions as the
X. G. c. War in Illinois. If Union
men are not ready, and strong, they will
soon hear inst such speeches in Indiana,
and see just such troubles. The Cop
perheads are preparing, as we have re-
peatedly warned Union men, for the
most desperate means of assisting the
rebellion, and the fighting in Illinois is
part of the programme.

THE QUARTZ MINES.

The quartz mines of Idaho were dis
covered by an old trapper of that coun-.
try in ls45, and were frequently shown
to emigrants going to Oregon, whose
fabulous reports of the richness of these
mines were never fully credited until
after the discovery of Bannook City !;
and indeed even now the richness of
these mines does not fully verify the re-
ports that have been in circulation, on
the shores of the Pacific for the last l5
years but that the Idaho quartz lode
is one of the richest ever found is be-
Yond a doubt.
