Bill Providing: lor u Beglntration I*aw. (.Published by Rcquett,) ?Mr. Presidknt?TbeSenato will bear with me in an attempt to say a few words in opposition to the bill under consideration, providing for a registra tion act, being one of a series of meas ures that seems to me looking to the utter disfranchisement of almost the entire population of your border couti> ties, aud nearly one hulf thevtolersof the State,.sweeping In Its operation alike Union and rebels, and thousands ! to-day as good citizens as many that will vote, fpr this measure. Pause, I entreat you, to pause beforp enacting in such liaste so cruel a proposition, blast ing and discouraging iii its effects on the future prosperity and glory of our young State, dimming the lustre and brightness of the noble example fur nished by us forja reconstruction of the States of the Union. Mr. President, I started out at the beginning of the re bellion with the motto, '?The Union, tbe Constitution and. the enforcement, of the laws," and have only yielded* to departures from the old land mark? as the results of the war forced them upon me; the great end of which was" tho freeing of four millions of slaved, which all accept as tho great provi dence of the war. Now, sir, the war 4s over, and some allowance must be made for an honest difference of opin ion, and at least concede that our erring brethren believed what they fought for, and I' have more respect for a gallant foe than for tho coward in the rear, who snuffed tlip war afar off, and to day is doing .all hp can to destroy the harmony of the country. It is proposed by this bill to tax us about thirty thousand dollars, to do what ??to virtually degrade nearly one half of the vptpre of the Stale, aye! to send sudiless and sorrow to the alread\' humiliated hearts of a down-trodden, fallen foe, driviug from yonrStato pop ulation, of those to the manor born, at tho same time that you are anxiously inviting immigration, and havo expen sive agents employed for the pur pose. It is.human to err, aud God-like to forgive, does it comport with the du ty of wise statesmanship to so legislate as that looks to party instead of coun- i try? Let patriotism take tho place of! passion, aud the future and prosperity j of our State become a paramount con- i federation, Sir, I opposed secession (the I Pandora box,) from which comes all our trouble, that jls/n has met its re-' ward, aud I stand here in my place, alike to resist such measures (come ' from what quarter they may,) conflict ing in my judgment with wisdom and justice, as well as to infract the organic laws of tho land, both federal and State, such I think not only this proposed law, bnt others already enacted. The Constitution of the United States declares that "Congress shall make no I law abridging tho freedom of speech." ! Thus for strong reasons a man should not be punished for conscience sake. His words he may restrain, but his thoughts come at will and his con science is entirely independent of his control. Can no more avoid his con- ' victions and sympathies than the leop- i ard can change his spots. Article 2d, section 10 "declares that treason shall bo punished according to the character of the acts committed, by ' the infliction of one or more of tho pen alties of death, imprisonment, line, or confiscation of the real and personal propert3- of the offeuder. Then we see that a man may be imprisoned, fined, or his property confiscated and stiil not disfranchised. Then I ask any candid man how ho can disfranchise n.citizen in tho absence of an arrest, trial or con- I viction, when disfranchisement is not one of the penalties annexed to the crime by our Constitution? Again; tho law is a violation of our Constitution, as it is retroactive or ex post Jucto in its operation; it creates a penalty thatdid not attach to the offense complained of at the ? time of its com mission. Such a law would be at war with the best interest and ultimate prospects of our State. Let us examine for a moment that branch of tho sub ject, as every member of society is more or less dependent upon the community around him for mutual heJp and assist ance, it Is of the first importance for the well being and happiness'of society that a general feeling of friendship should pervade all classes. How, I ask, can that be, when such invidious dis tinctions, such class legislation exists? How can you expect tbe friendship und good will of your neighbors when we and our party dony to them the rights of a freeman, merely because he has differed with you with regard to the administration of tho Government. No. sir; such a course must engender strife and bickerings of tbe most unpleasant character, unlike any political differ ence heretofore existing. It will even tuate in destroying family and social intercourse, growing worse and worse, spreading it* baleful influences to all circles, haunting churches and school houses., The animosity will lose none of its bitterness as it is transmitted from father to son, and in all commu nities the weaker will be the sufferer. Tho advocates of this measure are blindly led by the deliislve idea that thereby they can entrenoh themselves behind this unstable breastwork and perpetuate themselves in power; but who, that will judge the future by the past, cannot discern Che fallacy of such u hope?.' All past experience proves to us that no party ever has or ever will secure the permanency of its position by such means. The party in power is only forging tho shackels that must some day, sooner or later, recoil upon themselves. It would be idle to suppose that they could always hold the reins of power. Hence it would be expecting too much of the down trodden and disgraced, if an accession to power, they would not retaliate, which would produce a coun ter spirit of retaliation With alternate vibrations, until tho good sense of the people pperating as the force of gravity would at last bring about an equilibri um. And oh, how demoralizing the effect of such a law, an incentive to peijury to regain lost- political rights. Then X repeat and implore the advo cates of this measure to pause and re flect upon the consequences inevitably flowing from such short sighted and misguided policy, driving men to the dire necessity of forgetting the sanctity pf" an oath ^odefend;themselves against the denial of the inestimable privilege of every freeman the sacred rights of suffrage. To Plamor for the right of representa tion wh'eh ifot exempt from taxation, one without the other violates the great fundamental principle that under lies all free governments. Constitution of the United States, ar ticle 6th, section 2. The citizens ofeacb State shall be entitled to all the privi leges and immunities of the citizens in the several States. Virginia,: 1T76? Bill of Rights, sections 6 and 15. That no free government or the blessings of liberty can be preserv ed to any people but by a firm adhe rence to justice, moderation, temper ance, frugality and virtue, and a fre quent recurrence to fundamental prin ciples. Mr. President we have, in erecting this new State, drawn onrlines, regard less at the time of the bloody and re lentless war that held in duress, con troled and moulded the actions of the citizens all along our southern border, from Harper's Ferry to the Ohio river. So protection and allegiance is ex pected to go together for a time, we did not and could not afford the very class now proposed to be disfran chised by tbe rigor of this law the need ed protection. But the war closed and the ink of tbe amnesty proclamation, and parole of General Grant was hardly dry, when these same people, within the lines of your new State, felt to thank God they were citizens of the new State of West Virginia, not anticipating then, but they were to be put on a general footing, and came in for their needed Bh are of paternal care. Bnt the next news brought to the ear the Clash, not of arms, but chains forged out ofsenaa ! tion stories, of test oaths, constitution ill amendments, and measures for thoir degradation, in tlie destruction of the Inst vestige of the freedom of elections. ?How sadthecontrast, side bv side, all ! ?j.ong t,he ,ong line between us and old \Irginin, they heboid their neigh bor enjoying all tho blessings or Civil nnd political liberty, unrestrained by restrictions odious to an American citizen. What a commen tary on West Virginia and her claim to superiority to East Virginia and the liberties of the two people. How can you endear your people to you by op pression and tyranny?

J ' 1 d?re not vole for the measure under consideration, violatingas it does i hn?h /f ' tr"e '"eaniiig nnd intent of both. It would then seem thnt we based our action on tho principlo that "might makes fight," the ends justifying tho means, "and that wo feared to trust the whole people. The constitution of West Virginia, article 1, section 1, provides "That the constitution or tho United States and the laws and treaties made in pursu ance thereof shall be tho supreme law of the land." In section 6, "That tho citizens of the state are tho citizens of the United States residing therein." In section 3, That the powers of cov eruuient reside in all the citizens of the State and can bo rightfully exercised only In accordance with their will and appointment. In section 7, That every citizen shall be entitled to equal representation in ! tno government. | Again it is provided in tho constitu :!on Unit?d States, article 1. sec tion 10, That no Stato shall pass any i ex post facto law, and our constitution in accordance with that, provides that no ex post facto law shall bo passed by tho Legislature. See art. 2, sec. 1. But more than all, our constitution J III,article 3, section 1; declares expressly ! who shall and who shall not vote at the elections in this State, and by what au- I thorny can this Legislature affect the i right of any one allowed to vote by that I instrument. | The Senator from Jefferson reminds j me of tho late speech of Andy Johnson, and quotes as suits bis purposes. I Let me ask the Senator to read that I other paragraph of our patriotic Presi dent s speech, that says taxation with out representation is violation of the i great fundamental principles of a free government. # I Now, sir, I am dono, having endeav- j persuade Senators not, to pass this bill, that I believe fraught with so much mischief to the happiness of the i people of West Virginia, whose bark, though launched amidst the storms of war, has proudly breasted the waves of the revolution; now let her be moored and anchored in the heaven of rest, on 1 earth peace and good will to man. Meeting nt Trladelphia Last Friday. Triadklphia, Feb. 23, I860. Editors Intelligencer: rrhere was a Union meeting held in Triadelphia on Friday evening, 23d in stant, by citizens of all parties, in sup port of Andrew Johnson's Presidential policy, and proved to bo a perfect suc cess. ,The attendance was large, the old hills were made to echo to the strains of imirtial music, and the feelings of the people were enthusiastic and determin ed in defence of their personal rights and liberties. About half past seven o'clock the meeting was called to order by N H Garrison, Esq., who nominated Mr John Suppler, to bo President or the meeting. Upon taking the chair Mr. Suppler stated tho object or the meet ing, and remarked that it was well worthy the consideration of all present. Without further remark lie proposed that the meeting proceed to complete its organization, and proceed to tho busi ness or the evening. Tho following named gentleman was thereupon nom inated and elected Secretary, Lewis Wheeler. Mr. Garrison was then called upon to nddress the meeting, nnd re sponded to the same with much credit to himself, as well as to the cause which he espoused. On concluding bis re marks, Mr. Handler was called upon who answered with a short speech, full of energetic appeals to the citizens, calling npon tllem to rally to the sup port or the President and tho Constitu tion, in opposition to the radicals who wore trampling upon them tbrougb an ambitious lust of power. After Mr. Hancher bad closed bis speech, the President, on motion or Mr. Garrison appointed Messrs. Hancher, Vanco and Heior, a committee to prepare resolu tions expressive or the sense or the meeting. After a few moments the coinmitteo through their chairman, Mr. Huncber, presented the following reso lution^ which were unanimously RESOLUTIONS.

The New York common council have adopted resolutions in favor of erecting ! bridges over Broadway at several of the | WOOL GROWERS' CONVENTION IN ILLINOIS. Interesting: Information as to Sheep In That Country. [From the proceedings of the convention at Bloom in gton on February 21st.] DOES WOOL GROWING PAY? Mr. Amsdon of Henry county said the question had been asked whether wool-growing paid. This was not a time to entertain doubts. If it paid but a small profit, let us attend to it. He had begun by shipping grain, and on ibe first lot be shipped to Chic?i^>, in | corn, it lacked $27,57 of paying the charges. He vowed revenge, and in three years raised $9,800 worth of pro duce, and the railroads in their magnan imity shipped that to New York for him for the modest Bum of $392. That Eroduce was wool and mutton. If he ad had that in grain, it would amount to 4,800 bushels, costing $2,000 to get it to New York. It therefore cost 120 times as much to get $1 worth of corn to mar ket as it did wool. He believed that all things else boing equal, corn would pro duce as much wool, when fed to sheep here,as when they were shipped to Ver mont and fed there. One thousand bush els of corn at his depot was worth $180; to | ship it to Vermont cost $100 more, and that might have been saved. One hun dred and eighty dollars worth of wool could be shipped to New York for $0. He had got more for wool at his own door .than in Chicago. Moreover, sheep were worth much to a farm, because of the manure. The true state of tho case was, that, instead of sending wool to the East we should ship food there, and use our wool here. His interests were rath er opposed to a reduction of railroad I tariffs, because it would pay him to leed, i corn to his sheep. It was true his oaf& i and other grains cost more to harvest than the market price returned; but, if sheep were properly fed, there need l>e no leurs entertained of loss. It costs something to learn how to feed sheep. The best way to feed them was in tho field. He had told a friend who was be ginning to raise sheep, that he must pay ?500 to learn how to do it. A week ago he found that man's sheep literally starving to death. On the last cold night 18 died, smothered. They had I been fed but half an earof corn per day. The tactics in feeding were immediately 1 changed, the hunger of the sheep satis i tied, and they were now doing well. I REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLU TIONS. ! The Committee on Resolutions, j through Mr. Boardman, reported as I follows:: I nud d.fflculties seriously aiiecuuB 1 Itv, aud, In fact, threatening its rum, the | Illinois State Wool-G roweis' Association adopt the following resolutions: Jiesolved, 1. Turn It ii the duty of our Con grebsmen to nee that we have sufficient pro I tection against the low price of foreign wools I produced in warmer latitudes, vruere the ralMngof feed for sheep Is unnecessary, semi civilized labor cheap, aud where wool can be grown for iromfi to 12 cents per pound. I 2. That we ask Congress to adopt a specific duty of 15 cents per pound on all unwu<hed 1 wools, and 30 cents per pound on all washed wools. a. That the shoddy and woolen rags impor ted into the country should be subjected to at least equal duties with wool, as they take the place of wool, to tne detriment ofllie clothes wearing community. 4. That it is vitally necessary that some change be made In the manner of marketing our wool, so as to give tho grower some voice in fixing its ).rlce, and not leave the matter, as at present in the hands of middle-men, manngers of wool-houses, whose only interest in the matter Is to get their coinmia>iou and perquisites, aud who luivo sold our wool at ruinously low prices the past season, much lower forgoid than before ihe war, while our expenses Indeed have increased at least 50 per cent. 5. That we urge upon the wool-growers of Illinois to form county societies In every county in the State, where one is not already established, hold frequent meetings, and thus, with the State Awoclatijn, establish a unity of uctlon and sentiment wherebv man ufacturers will find it necessary to come to us ?i nn thnv did before the war. J Mr. Kitchen's Hill. ^ From the Berkeley Union. Governor Boreman in his message to tho Legislature recommended the re peal or modification of our present statutes creating disabilities to sue on the part of those who were conneected with the lnte rebellion. The Wheeling Intelligencer, a paper which speaks the sentiments of the Union party of this State as fully as any published within its limits, has ably exposed the impolicy of these laws, and}recom mends their repeal. This paper has expressed similar views. We Delieve it is the wish of the Union men of thissection of the State that these disabilities to sue shall bo done away. The legislative session is drawingto a close. We hope it will not adjourn without giving its favorable attention to this subject. Mr. Kitchen has introduced into the Senate a bill which, whilst it fully pro* tects all loyal persons from improper and vexatious suits, removes these dis abilities which retard tho expansion of business operations of our country. Wo hope to hear of the passage of this bill. Queen Victoria made a nice little speech at the opening of Parliament a few days ago. Tho reporter of the Lon don Times adds the fact, that she wore a black?some said a deep velyetr-robe, which, whether it was purple or black, looked intensely black in tho dim light of the chamber, trimmed with white miniver, and a white lace cap a la Ma rie Stuart, to the portraits of which un fortunate lady she bore in this'attire a remarkable similitude. Around her neck she wore a collar of brilliants, and over her breast the blue ribbon of the Order of the Ortrtor. Other ornaments she had none, and looked in this simple and highly becoming costume "every inch a Queen," and far more pictur esque and regal than if she had worn the royal robes that had become so dis tasteful to her. The lodestone is found In the-Iron mines of Germany, Hungary, England, Arabia, Bengal and China. . ivvice Wikt Oil. Company, ) -MSX Walnut HU -cl Mto'T. J PHri^WELPIIIA.
