an absurd, f»f the plain reason, that the Feder

to vi.Jate it at will ami pleasure. I hold on the

a clear right to do so ; and It, atiae we are the

violated tlie covenant are the aggressor*. they
ha* e no right to complain, much le*a to make

Now Mr. llutiter may fancy he sees a dis

lawyer to point out a substantial difference.—

la tk llm u, « Tuesday. Mr. Miuau mad®
a conservative and patriotic speech, on the agi
tating questions of Um day. which commanded
great attention and respect.
Mr. Ct taiii, on Tuesday, made a strong an
ti secession speech, in which be took the ground
that oa® ot the prim® object® of the trailers was
to re open the Airman slave trade, and remind
ed the House that the other .Southern States
have great interests beside slavery which can
not be lightly abandoned Antagonisms would
arke between tbr I'ottoa States and the Border
States. He appealed to the North to do justice,
but rested hia last hope upon ths ac tion of Vir
ginia.
On Saturday. Mr. Clam, of Missouri, urged
the adoption ot tbe Crittrudrn propositions, and
their submission to the people. He was in fa
vor of exhausting all constitutional means to se
cure the rights of the South. * •
Mr. (jiLuca. of North Carolina, mails a con
servative ami very effective s|ieech, in the naira®
of which be referred to the manner in which the
Southern mind had been inflamed by false dis
patches. He urged the Republican* to nation
al im themselves.and become worthy of tbe bles
sings of all good peopl® by pnurrv mg the Un

Mr. Au.it. of Massm husetU. defended the
North against charges preferred by Southern
agitators, lie thought the North could do with
out ths Somh, and drew a picture of the com
mercial importance and productiveness of tbe
two regions, to show the superiority of the
North in every material means of wealth and
progress He was against amendments of the
Constitution and any f urther concession.
On Jf.-s*lay. after tin- reading of the Presi
drut s special message. Mr. Pavoa, of Virginia,
made a speech of an hour, in a more temperate
tone than usual, in the course of which he reci
ted the grievances of which the South complain
ed. and urged the Republicans to remember that
tbe l nion could not be preserved by force.

Mr. II a skis, of Mary land, made an admirable

forth frequent applause from the galleries. Hr
w-irned Northern members against delay in tins
way of compromise and peace lest Man land
and all the lh.rder States should lc ‘precipita

Mr. Wixslow, of North Carolina, followed,
recounting the “wrongs of the South end the
unsatisfactory character of the proposed meas

Sensation Dispatches.
The National InleUigtnctr reminds the people
of \ irginia of the manor; in which the people
of the (iulf States were deceived and inflamed
by lalte dispatches just about the time they
were voting for immtier* of their Conventions.
1 be object of the ten members seems to be to
‘fire the Southern heart" still further, and in
duce llie people to surrender their judgement
and blindly adopt whatever a “Sovereign Con

ists. may cbonae to prescribe for them.
The notice has been so short that many of the
counties, will scarcely see the Governor's pro
clamation before the 4th of February. Hut the
Imtrilufmccr gives another timely reminder :
“ Fbere is also anotlier circumstance which

refused to give sny credence to the telegraphic
despatch which yesterday purported to give it

proceed to invade or "coerce" the tJulf States
while Virginia and the Border Slaveholding
State* preserved their present relations in the
Union ? The. whole thing in that ease would be
not only morally hot physically impossible.—
The intervention of the Border Slave bold ing
States, provided they remain in the Union,
woulJ present a barrier, both moral and phys
ical between the two Sections a barrier which
no hostile foot could cross ; and ibis fact is so
plain that such an arrangement was a part of
the defensive strategy announced by Mr. Vast

*"/ct}f, only two years ago. On the oilier hand,
who does not sev that division by the line of
partition between the Slaveholding and Non
slavshotding State* would bring the two sec

p«iinta of contact and collision ? *The argument
of the paper stems to us equally at fault us re
•|*ects the l*r*t method for "preserv ing the hope
of rr-conatructing a Union already dissolved."
Nothing, we should think, could more eflectual
ly extinguish that ho|ie than the accession of
Virginia to the seceding Slates, followed in that
step, as in all likelihood she would be at an
early day. by all or nearly all her sister States
1 l.'ing on the Border. Not to say that such a
1 division of the two sections, by arraving them,
as already intimated, front to front. would soon
er or later lie the precursor of civil war. grow
ing out of border feuds, the fruitful source of
dissensions in all lands and in all ages, who
dors not see that the chasm b*onm more in
curable ami intractable the wirier it grows;
and wbat basis of mediation is left when the
two "social systems and (kit two "civilizations '
of the North and of the South are represented
by two distinct governmental organizations,
formed under the excitements and resentments
which have led to a separation?
It only remains for us to say that the peviple
of Virginia may in their wisdom determine to
•ever tbelr relations un- er the Constitution of
the I mtrd State*. but wr are very sure it will
never be for the reasons recited in that Address
" ben they make that decision it will lie in vir
tue of considerations far more cogent, aad. we
must take leave to say. far more lugiral.
