On every leading measure that has been noted on for nine years, my votes, as the record will show, have been east on tho same.side with my respected colleagues in die Senate and House; most of whom have declined to unite in its organization with the Democratic \ party, and airaiust whom the iimmtntinn nf " Nationalism" has not been made.

"When it perishes, the wreck of the Union will cover its grave, and I look upon the happening of that catastrophe with more J solicitude as I grow older.

It is eas- i icr to pull down tlmn to build up. If the alternative was presented to the South of continuing in the Union as inferiors in the rights and privileges of a common Government, or to dissolve the Union, we should ! not hesitate in choosing the latter. Neith- i or States nor individuals can look upon life I as a boon, if it is to be spent iu disgrace? i conscious of self-degradation. My ardent , prayer is, that no such alternative may ever come. When this government is destroy- ^ cd, neither you nor mo, your children, or i my children, will ever live to see so trood a government re-constructed. A government that gives such ample protection to all the rights of person and property at home and abroad, and requires ho little from the citizen in return. Let us, then, to-day, resolve that we will i cordially co-operate with patriotic men in | nil sections in maintaining the true princi- j pics of the Constitution, ami not only thereby obviate the necessity of revolution, but administer the Government so justly as to obliterate all the alienation and discord that .1-. il . . 1 jiurvauca una now prosperous and happy country.

Wo have devoted much of our spaco to-day t > the characteristic speech delivered by Col. Oiut, at Craytonvillo, where a public dinner was given him by his friends and former neighbors. Tho speeeh is plain, consistent and statesman-like. lie is decided upon every ?unjvci niiu question wnicn no touches, ami lie elucidates them with n clearness and force peculiarly his own. I lis remarks on re-oponing the slave trade arc pointed and convincing. With the balance of our Congressional delegation, with one exception, (Gen. Boxham) Col. Orr approves the' English conference bill, and defends, with signal ability and suetlio ilniMAnrftfiA , .vx'VMtnv I'm VJ , tliivi inn IOU3 wr* dial co-operation with it. In the Union, it if the only liopo of the South : but, in the last resort, the South muM rely solely on herself. The future policy of the State seems to he clearly indicated in this speech and that of Senator Hammond's, at Beech Island, as now understood. In .1 few months, as Col. Our feelingly rc- j marks, lie dissolves his connection with nsas our Representative, of his own motion. Entering public life in his youth, his career, short as it has been, 1ms been marked with unexampled success. Although fortune may have favored him, yet, he is indebted for bis present position, to his own efforts nml tl?o ; ability with which his Creator endowed him. Occupying one of the highest positions in the government, and upon the eve of retiring to private life, he states his opinions anil convictions with manly independence and fuir| ness?giving wise counsel, as becomcs the statesman and patriot. | From Col. Orr's life, one truthful and imi I i 1-1..-*? . * * ?

Tho President cordially reciprocates tho congratulation of her Majesty the Queen, on the succoss of tho great international outerprize, accomplished by the science, skill and indomitable energy ot the two countries. It is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than was ever won by conqueror on the (ield of battle.
