LARBEST CIRCULATION IN THE BUY ANPCOUNTV FRIDAY JANUARY g6. 1SBO- thb spkech op senator oool.it- TL.E OK RECONSTRUCTION. Senator Howe, a rabid Republican, intro duced in the Senate, a few days since, a reso lution virtually annulling the official acts of President Johnson and establishing provi sional or territorial governments in the Southern States. Ou the 17lh inst., Mr. Doo little, of Wisconsin, the personal and politi cal Iriend of the President, made a speech in reply to this revolutionary proposition which is attracting much attention as a remarkably clear and forcible exposition of the policy of the Administration and the constitutional powers of Congress appertaining to the sub ject of reconstruction. Tbe elaborate utter ances of the Senator on the occasion referred to are entitled to much consideration as the honest convictions and just reasoning of his own superior mind, but when regarded as unerring judications of the fixed and states manlike policy of our patriotic Chief Magis trate and the great mass of his supporters, they assume the highest consequence to the people of this country. We therefore propose to give a brief synopsis of the principal points of Mr. Doo little's speech, the publication ot which in our columns is precluded by its great length. After showing that the question whether the Southern StateB are in the Union or not is one of great practical importance, Mr. Doolittle went ou to prove by various acts of Congress, and by the constant policy of the Government, that they are and have always been held to be in tbe Union. In proof of this assumption ho quoted largely from the last public speech made by Mr. Lincoln just beiore his dentil, aud cited many of his pre vious official acts to show that he had al ways held this position. That the loyal peo ple or the United States, represented at Ball! more, approved it bj T tbe renomination of Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency. And, as il to make the endorsement of this part of Mr. Lincoln’s policy more emphatic, Mr. Johnson was nominated for the Vice Presidency, the very man, of all others, who had for a long lime been engaged in the great work of re constructing civil government in the State ot Tennessee upon tho basis of that policy. It was objected, says Mr. Doolittle, by some iu that convention, as it is in Congress, that Tennessee had no right to representa tion, hut, on motion of the distinguished Senator from New York (Preston King), now no more, her delegates were admitted. One ot her sons, in spite of the objection ol Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, that he was from a foreign State at war with the United States, aud therefore an alien enemy, was nomina ted lor Vice President; and by these nomi nations that policy was sustained by the Convention. The elecion came ou. That policy and the administration which pro claimed it, and the Convention which en dorsed it, were sustained by the people of the United States. Alijjding to the fact that Congress held the States to be in the Union, he says as soon after the disastrous campaign of 18G2 as the members of Congress could conveniently assemble, in that hour of deep humiliation to the people of the loyal States, a resolution passed both Houses by an al most unanimous vote declaring the purpose of members iu the prosecution of the war, and especially the determination of Congress in relation to the status aud rights of the Southern Stales- In' that hour of defeat, when humbled betore the nations, Congress declared almost unanimously : “That this war is not prosecuted upon our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor pur pose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the su premacy of the Constitution and all laws made in pursuance thereof, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights ot the several States unimpaired ; that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease.” The speaker,closes this branch of the sub ject with citations of numerous other in stances ol Congressional legislation affirming the indestructibility of the Union. The radicals, to sustain their theory of dissolution of the States, lay great stress upon the appointment of Provisional Governors by the President in the absence of constitutional authority to do so. Mr. Doolittle, in his re marks upon this point, says: tho President does not make the appointment of these agents, call them what you please, by virtue of his authority as a civil Chief Magistrate. They are not civil appointments. They are in no sense civil officers, for there is no law under which they are appointed at all. They are mere military agents of the President, as Commander-in-Chicf of the army, who is bound to ascertain the fact which he must know before he can discharge bis duty of mustering the forces out and of withdrawing the army. He sends these agents into the several States for the purpose of ascertaining whether the rebellion is suppressed; not only •'hetlter the people have ceased armed re sistance, but intend to submit in good faith and make no more resistance to the authori ty of the Government. The reason why the Administration, instead of employing a Gen eral in command, appointed special agents to do this duty, was two-fold : first, because it was supposed that some person who had personal influence among the people, who had not been connected with the army, might have more influence iu prevailing with the people to accept the situation war had brought upod them than one who had passed through their country in the terrible storm of war, and whose red right baud had been to them like the scourge of God. He next takes up the question of repre sentation in Congress. Having shown them, to lie States in the Union, and therefore en titled to representation under the Constitu tion; having shown that Congress, by the same law under which the present House was elected and organized, apportioned the two hundred and forty-oue members ju-t a8 much among thdse eleven Southern Stales as among the remaining twenty-five, aud that under that law the right of representation is just as certaip as the right of any Northern State, he then proceeds to consider whether the Southern States have properly chosen Senators and Representatives. On this point the Senator remarked that the Southern peo ple may. select men ineligible to seats in Dither bouse of Congress, but they would be excluded by the test tlbth. While this would not take away the right to have representa tives who are loyal to tbe Union, it would de prive them for a time of Representatives in fact. The question was. asked, What se curity bas the Government that the South will not rebel again if their Representative arc admitted ? He answered the question by another: Would there not be ten fold more danger of their rebelling if represents tion is not accorded to them than if it is Who does not know, he says, that the most ju-tifinble of all causes of rebellion or revo iuiion is to tax and goveru a people without representation? Tbe old Thirteen rebelled against England for that, and four of these thirteen are amoug the thirteen which the resolution before the Senate proposes to ren der to the territorial condition. Up to this tune the South never had any justifiable cause for rebellion. But follow out the po lii y of exclusiou, aud what all the world will say is a just cause for war will be given Mr. Doolittle concluded bis remarks by saying, the war of blood is over. It is now a moral warfare; a warfare with the reasons, hearts, feelings, passions, prejudices and sen timents of tiie Southern people. And of all the propositions which can be conceived there is uouo which will shock the reason, so deeply wouud the sensibilities, aud so much rouse the passions and prejudices of that peo ple as the propositiou to tax and goveru them without representation. The Southern States should at once be recognized as being in the Union, entitled to representation, aud Con gress should take up for consideration each State by itself, aud enquire iuto the clectiou returns and qualifications of those who claim the right to represent them.

They took the opportunity of ^cnriluting their discontent at Liege which they claimed to he beyond tbe limits of their curviculum. That these refractoiy students have acted in the spirit of most of the youth of the French schools, evidence bus been frequently af forded in French history. The spirit of re volution has frequently taken its source from the Ecole Poly technique. They have given an impulse to political opposition, aud even imparted a direction to it most dangerous to existing authority. Whether these schools are nurseries of sedition, destined to give trouble lo'llie government, remains to be proved. The sentence ot expulsion against them decreed by the Minister of Public In struction remained to be confirmed by tbe Superior Council of Public Instruction. It is evident that tbe Ernpomr was desirous of avoiding extreme measures, showing that this was an element of danger. The risks nttcD- daut on a Regency, in case of bis death, the many factious ready to take advantage of a vacant throue—the turbulence of these fac tions and the many aspirants to a dominion that invites competition—render the chances equal for another revolution lu France ou the demise of ihe Emperor.

[Prom an occasional Correspondent.] Jacksonville, Fla., Jin. 23, 1806. About three o’clock P. M. on Monday, the 22d instant, a sad affair occurred on Bay street, opposite the auction store of E. D. Wells. Mcshack Birney, a former resident of Duval, but latterly a citizens of Nassau couuty, had some words with a negro by the name of Tilghman Green. The negro made some insulting reply, whereupon Birney drew a knife and inflicted a mortal wound upon Green, completely severing the jugular vein upon the left side of the neck. The negro staggered a few steps backward and fell. Parties in the street pursued and arrested Birney, while others went to the aid of the negro. Two of the city surgeons were im mediately sent for and did their utmost to save the iife of the wounded mau, but it is feared that he cannot survive. There are various rumors as to the provocation given by Green, aud in the mass ol conflicting statements tis impossible to arrive at the facts more fully than as above stated. Birney is now confined in the guard house, and will probably be tried before a Military Commis sion. He is reported to be a quiet, inoffen sive mau, yet addicted to the use of liquor, under tbe effects of which he probably was when he committed the deed, for which he will have to be tried. Economy is Consumption of Gas.—The Charleston News, 9peaking of Dr. Garland’s Improved Check Gas Burners says—“We feel called upon to state that they are a most valuable fixture, and that no person who is in the habit of using gas, and who regards a system of economy as one of the funda mental rules of life, should he without this admirable invention attached to their lights. From as fair a test as could he made ir» our office, we fee) convinced that we have saved twenty five or thirty per cent, by attaching these burners to our gas-fixtures, aud we do not hesitate to recommend their adoption wherever gas is used.” Orders lor tbe above burners left at tbe store of A. Myers & Co., Broughton street, under St. Andrew’s Hall, will be nllendcd to. ATTENTION! WASHINGTON FIRE €0. NO. 9.
