MR SUMNER'S BPEECII.
?_omtcml l'otr?-?e??>>ent
l**9 Wa-hiwto?, afc-oday, May 19, l<3%.
jV> leadioK event of the day La th * oratity, 0f Mr.
Umumg, He ?poke three huuu with-m'. fiuishing,
aad wae attentively listened to tht? tghout by a
crowded audience. Mr. Soraner ha* riven long and
laborious atteatioo to tbe compem'Joo if thia pro
ersrtior.. and It will rairc his already elcrated repu?
tation. He made a nutnbiV of happy hiu in the
aaanv of bit remarks, and his dafrase and exposi
tfoa of t*V Emigrant Aid Association, and aasocta
enterprise. In general, waa particuUrly strong
JllJlV Hiafe^Ur^tnb.itetoM?aawhaaet4a
?eras protrouoced ?nid brea-hleaa attention, and wa.
very fine ia composition and rhetorical effect. It
vat a little earioiw to watch the manner in which
Ut Brno**' WM At ?*e
?jng, when everybody else waa Listening very at?
tentively, Mr. Mason of Virginia, Mr. Dougls*,
Mr. Tnueey and Mr. Tootnbs took to writ
fe*; letters with wonderful industry, all
aeesninpl; very intent upon the subject matter of
their epistolary correspondence. They, however,
recovered from their fit of letter-writiag after a
while, tad became quite natural as the speech
went od. Than, again, quite a number of the
Pro Slavery men undertook at various intervals
to show their indifference to the course of Mr.
Stunner's argument, or their disapprobation of the
boldness of his remarks, by ttlking in the Chamber
in such a wny at to compel the presiding officer
aeveral times to call them to order. Once, indeed,
Mr. Siiinner himself stopped, and called on the
Sergeant-at Ann to preserve quiet. In this snail
way the antagonists of Mr. Bumuer prefer to meet
?and treat him. The interruptions, to be sure,
amounted to nothing; but they disclosed the spirit
?f venomous hostility which Slavery everywhere
exhibits towards free speech. Ten miles from
this city in aij direction Mr. Sumner would
not be permitted to talk in the way he
slid to-day without being a victim to Lynch
law. It is hard for the Slavery men to be dt?cent
in conduct w hile listening to sentiments which they
woald not permit the expression of at home with
s>at counselling tbe doom of death upon the speaker,
and for the utterance of which his life would cer?
tainty be taken without stopping for judge or
)urj. Indeed one Southern Senator to-day de?
clared that if he could hnve his way he would haug
Sumner on the spot. Such is the miserable con?
dition of things in this Republic, and such the
violent antagouitm of our system. It was impos?
sible to help asking onesoli while Mr. Sumner was
bu Hing his denunciations upon the villaiue* practiced
ander its inspiration, of what use U it to
assail even the damnable proceedings of the con?
spirators against Freedom in Kan sin before this
body, so large a majority of which is composed of
the very high priests of Slavery 7 Or why waste
time or breath m appealing to its members for
justice or even decency toward that devotod and
unhappy Territory ' What better is it than preach?
ing against sin in the lower regions, or appealing t")
the deul to set up a Sunday-school iu pandemo?
nium ' Why inreiglh against the ruthless, tyrdnui
eal, and infamous efforts to make Kansas a Slave
State to men who mean to see it baptized in the
blood and the fire of the deep desolation of civil
conflict sooner than move one inch towsrd rescuing
it from its invaders and oppressors1 One oaanot
ecu template the question without feeling that the
battle must be fought on another field. It is
before the people of the Free Statics, face to face,
that the question of Kansas and the story of her
wrongs, and the infinite turpitude of ber betrayers,
should be and must bo preecnted aud considered.
And there it should be determinwl whether tbe
proceedings complained of should be submitted to.
If tbe people of the Free State* shall say aye to
that then let them bug their chains and prepare
for that further debasement which will be at onre
their dm- and their doom. Hut if they aay no, then
let the energy of this expression of their determi?
nation be so pronounced as to shake the poUutios
from the skirts of every branch of the Government.
The Free States can save themselves and save the
Territories if they will, Hut tbey also, and Umy
alone, can throw all away, iustal the Slave power
in a seat from which eveu they cauaot eject it,
and crown it King over S>uth and North alike. It
ia for them to say what they will do in this great
crisis of the national fate.
Of eourse, Mr. Sumner's speech is full, compre?
hensive, well rounded, and embracing every aspeet
of the great question he discusses. What ho has
not said to-day he will say to-morrow. He will
ooon be followed by Mr. Wade, whoso radical
views are well known, but who is >ot in no partic
nlar in advance of the temper of the times. Ohio
has in him a spirit worthy ot the hour which hangs
over the nation. t. #. v.

where:
"In the midst of eonfiVting statement*, we have
obtained authentic and ce rtain intelligence tha? the
ConfTfasior.a! Commissioners, Meura. Howard a.id
Slseni an, reate- in conversation that they are astound?
ed at the e v.dtnc.e brought before them proving the
wti pgr, of the true peop'e of Kansa*, and they express
tliiir weitidi r at their admirable se-'f control. 'There is
evidence to htHeat? that Mr. Oliver him-elf, the third
member of the Commission, a Member of Con^re- -
froni the State of Missouri, aud of coutse a prof. -s. 1

The Unite d States dragoons evidently under-raud the
true merits of tbe case, as is abimdiintly eviuced by
the alncriU I) with which they have conducted the
pursuit after certain Free-State m?-n against whom
warrants har| been issued. Tbe shooting < f 'Sheriff'
Jones is a mystery. It wa> an ar t of which the Fr *>
State Govemmuit certainly, and all its friends, *<> fur
as ran be ascertained, wire entirely ignorant, and
which is deeply regretted. It is nevertheless believed
that .(ones is not so badly injured as has been pre*
tended.
" We regret to sav that it is thi- best opinion in
Kansas that nn runic I prdliajfta between the Miseou
naris and the Free-State people must shortly lake
place. It is believe<d to be inevitable. Even tha Con
gree-ionril Commission will be insulted. Ttio Ml*
souiians will rot ronpact the lii-pre-putatives of tho

nnd projier movements of the I'nited States tr.>
The people of Karn-ns will not rebel ngninst the I'nited
States authority?there will be no collisioil between
them and the United States Government. This the
Missfiurians very well anderstaad; and i? is balieved
that they will very soon undertake a cruel warfare on
their own account.
" In lack, a warfare, we pray Heaven defend tbe
rieht. The people of Kansas are a law-abiding peo?
ple. They are now asserting the doaioal right of
American eitizins?the ri^ht to govern themselves.
They submit to the riuthonty ofttie Dotted Matos; but
tin y will not submit to an invasion from Mtasoari,
" stall the*have only our syaapathy- perhapsact
even that?in thi* crisis' The 17th, Saturday lust,
had been agreed upon for an incursion into ti e T< rri

THE I ICE-PRE8IDENt 1
C*rrsSJ*ar1*aiS af Tlie N. V. Tribun*.
J'HiLAiii i.i'itiA, Saturday. May IT, 1850.
I'ast events have proved to the American people
the absolute necessity of looking, in their nomina?
tions, to the Vice-Presidency as critically as the*
already do to the Presidential nominee. Ami,
without wishing to add unnecessarily to the num?
ber of candidates. I beg leave to sorge*? that the
selection of the Hon. B. Jav NoJUUS of this city
for the Vice-Presidency would be a nomination
" fit to be made," and would be emineutlr popu?
lar, lie is widely and favorably known through?
out the country: has tilled, honorably and satisfac?
torily, the most important Legislative, diplomatic
and political position; and, whether as leader ot
a Legislative minority at home or as a foreign
minister abroad, has proved himself worthy of the
highest confidence and equal to the severest etuer
genc). As a member of the- Legislature ln*t
Winter, he was earnest and active in favor of a
union of the entire opposition to the Pro Slavery
Democracy an a Union State ticket, which was
happily effected; he has always been in favor of a
similar union in the nation: is a most decided
Anti-Nebraska man; aud in the Legislative eaueu*,
held while the great fight for Speaker was iu pro
gre ss at Washington, earnestly preesed a resolution
endorsing the course of tbe Anti-Nebrasks Con?
gressmen from Pennsylvania in voting for Mr.
Basks, and urging their perseverance therein.
If any one of Democratic antecedents should bo
nominated for President at the Anti-Nebraska
convention in this city next month, the nournation
for Vice President of one so populsr with the old
Whig psrty of the nation as E. Jay Nortis would
certainly carry Pkswi.vania.

of the Association adverse to any ecclesiastical action

late uction of the Assembly at St. Louis, f, r planting
Presbytetian Churches in the West in advance of other
denominations, should be of sectarian character, and
divert Home Mi-sionary funds to sectarian purpose*;
an 1 in favor of the effort to introdu v intelligent and

thisugh many churches have l'i-t members by emigra?

He went on to explain as to certain resolutions of the
Asel*, mtion, p&seed laet year, and considered by this
body '* offensive and discourteous." He diwloiined
any such intention, and recapitulated the circum?
stances of their passage, which wa-s at the time of the

Um j lotest of the 3,000 New-England clergy, were
justified in koUajt to this Assembly for similar actiou;
at.d eui h BGtioa, it it had not even stopped the peonage
of that bill, would have bet n powerful to neutralize utt
bad results. It was for such reasons that the A<socia

After devotional exercises, the complaint of the Sei

taken up.
The Uev. Dr. I!n i moved that it be the sense of
the As-sembly that the Synod had been heard.
Ihe MoDtK * i ou rule d the motion out of order, w

Dr. l.'i r. maintained that as this was a complaint,
and rot an appeal, a different rule held.
The Uev. Dr. AHsAM nud the Rev. It. K. Kon a i's
trade some rcmuiks on the action of the Synod of
which they were n embers.
The order of the day, the Report of the Hoard of

The Rev. Dr. DlCUKfOH. from the Committee on
education, lead a set of resolutions expressing grati?
tude to Cod, gratitude to the churches who contributed
*>???' more last year than the year before, aad grati?
tude gcterally, that the Church had been able to caetet
her engage rxe-ntn with her candidates*. Kojoiaing aUo

mi nts Of secularized religion, and the devices of a
Pagai ted < hii-tianity, and the observance of th*last
Thursday in February as a day of prayer for theiacrees?
of the ministry.
The ltev. Dr. Vi\ HeSMKLAIit, Secretary of the
Hoard of Education presented au abstract or the An

of the Church.
Dr. Vam RiBJiaaXhll proceeded to mak-.- a f-w
remarks, in the course of which he said that th.- two
Churches in Fifth art-rue bad contributed one-fifth of
the entire receipts. Thirty-four School* wore recetriar
aid fit m the Hoard. There were 100 Proabyterial
Sehools, N Acadeentes, and 22 College*., with 2,10o
etude nts. of whom TOO were members of the Church,
and 100 had been bn nght into the Cbarcb during tha

The Bar. D. Rakir of Texas, felt e*^>eeial interest
in this art air. They wanted more nunisters. While
Georgia was his native State, he now lived in Texas,
utd he knew the a ants of the peop'e. He had
traveled extensively it Texas, and they had lost 1,000
meiolier* in Texas for lack of ministers to bring t'iem
in. Dr. Hakertoid hi* expenemv, giving the affect?
ing details of bis early piety, his bsjckssiidiiig aad final
r*toneiiiation, whin ho became a minister of the
Gospel. He detailed several incidents which had
occurred ii his ministry?one in particular when he
preached a "eries of sermons one day to an imm..u,i -
colligation who were so much interente?! that they
did not see a thund'r rtonn which was coming up, and
be had to tell them of it, and that they most separate.
The Rev. Dr. Marshall made a few remarks.
The Rev. Dr. JkVKIsTI *.ugge*sted prayer to God to
send more- laborers. Prayer moved the arm that
troved the woild. Ht proeejeded to - ?? *J. of a preju?
dice which worked in hie section of the country agais-t
tab particular Hoard.
The Rev. Dr. Daumy said that among the 3.000
churches only 9ou had contributed to the funds ox this
I ik ard. A great many of the candidates who were
educated for the ministry were not worth the cost.
Many of those who did not succeed a* preachers, how?
ever, could be of exc Uent sen ice as lees hers, a* tbe
swords made at the Stringfield Amory if they broke ia
the final test made excellent carving knives. He did
not believe that the candidates for the ministry were
up to the average of Collegiate students. The w 'id
gl t the best, and the church got the refuse. It was
i ? cnu.-e they demanded and insisted on nothing better.
The Rev.'Dr. Pntne dissented from the views ex
I raj.- d. The Life Insurance tabliairhow.?d that, taken
as a class, ministers were among the h??.ltbie?t an i
lei :e.-t-live d of rr.eu. The ministrv of the Chtxrch of
CLrtat never had come from the tlrrt families. Hit
hey were the fathers of a race back of whom no one
r si d w>h to trace- hie podigree. He thought that tbe
n inistry in this country exhibited an average amouut
Of talent. N-it many years ago the ministers of Rich
mend. Vs.. deputed' one of their number to test the
question of taxation of the ministry. He, single-handed,
argce-c the case against the whole bar of the State,
and Dr. Prime Lad been told, he beat them all and
was wtocg beside.
The Rev. Mr. Ckoziir made a few retnarks, after
which
The Rev. Dr. Pattov Harrison corrected the
statement of Dr. Prime in relation to the Virginia
ministry. The Episcopal Convention endeavore<: t >
procure the passage of a general law, incorporating ad
religions boelies who came up to certain stated require?
ments. A Preebvt. r an clergyman opposed the law
)er? employed by tue Episcopalians to advocate tLe
measure before tbe Legulatur? and defeated the
measure.
Dr. Hxwitt repudiated the idea of clatves and
families whieb had been put forward. Away with hall.
Dr. Tnomwr.li. af South Carolina objected to some
[ tia< [pie* i nunciated in the resolutions. The prineq.!?
was laid down that secular education belonged to t tie
Ckarch of Jemus Chnet, but he did not think so.
A Commusiomcr urged that the salvation of the
cstK n depended <-.n the tillislthai of children by the
Church. Most of the Public .Schools exclude d the il l.,.
The resolutions were then read separately, and ail
but tie one objected to by the Rev. Mr. Tbornwell
