We rely on the enlightened and patriotic devotion of our coiikervative brethreu of the North to the spirit of the t uion and Constitution, hoping and trusting that its establishment may b« permanent and iM-r]>etuaL We cannot close our eyes to the fact that there stil remains a radical fanaticism in the North that would subvert the great principles of sell-goverument if not checked, couquon-d and controlled. We must, how ever. take for our watchword, “The Union and the Constitution of ®ur fathers “—the “Union* being tbe paramount good, and the “ Constitution ” our guide—and if rampant fanaticism should seek to sub vert the former or mutilate the latter, let us, iu com mon with our conservative brethren of the North, East and West, rally to the support of the one and the defense of the other, assured that the indissoluble union of these States, and free government, under the Constitution as it is, will reward our efforts. I mean not to threaten or defy, but if I understand the spirit of our people north and south, 1 feci justilicd in assuiniug that the Union of our fathers is the design and j'urjKise of all jiatriotic hearts, and that auy pur- ]NMe to transfer the j»uwcrs of this government or its control by constitutional aim mlmeuts or otherwise to the African or negro race will involve us iu a contlict which in comparison with the late struggle will ho but child s play, liuuianijy shudders at the bear mention ui such a conflict. This is our land; these are onrhomes. Beneath the soil on which we tread lie burned our ancestors, and th»* graves of our children are not yet sodden over w iUi grass, and by their side lain would we have our remains interred, and woe to the man who would dis inherit us of our birthright and appropriate it to the use and benefit of a foreign aud barbarous race. Wo in list control in obedience to the Constitution and the laws made thereunder to the exclusion ol all burbariuu races, but let us not forget that the African race among us must be protected iu their persons aud phijHirtj. Our laws must lx* wise, just and equal, and our people must obey them, iu letter and spirit. Fur ther we cannot go. And if those who assume to legis late lor us on this question will insist upon turning over our government to the African race, then wc pre dict, a revolution with incalculable ills to both races, the last grand death struggle of libert}' on the Ameri can continent. May God, iu liis mercy, avert such a calamity ! i trust our people yet have nerve enough to meet the emergency. I have not thought it im- proper for me to say this much upon a subject to me clad iu gloomy fore boding* and apprehenaious; for tbe assassination of our ohief magistrate or any success ful etlort, unconstitutionally, to change our Govern ment, one or both of which seems to be tbe purpose of a powerful party at the north, would, beyond doubt, produce such a result. 11 such a contest be forced upon uh, let us be prepared “to quit us as men,'* making no war upon the Union ana tbe Constitution, but upon reckless faualiaisin, which would engulph both iu a common ruin. Designing and defeated demagogues among our- oelvra and usual newspaper correspondents uiay, by misrepresentations, fan the flame until a great fire may be kindled, and passion again usurp the throne oi reason. Yet I trust that our people, warned by the paHt. will, as one man, adhere to the Union, Consti tution and Government of our fathers. I have seen nothing in your deliberations on this floor, by word or act, u> warrant a thought that you will be untrue to your obligation to “support, main tain, and defend tbo Constitution of the United States." Ever be thus—ever continue to administer exact ami equal justice to all clauses and ranks of your fel low men—ever continue so to spt ak and act that good will ami harmony may be promoted—and iu my judg ment, the conservative, good men of the north sus tained by the gallant soldiers who have retured to pursuits of peace, will soon hurl from power the speculators aud brokers, who, in their madness, would barter away their own ambitions purposes that Uuiou for which the lorms of her gallant sons were mutilated, and their blood and treasures spilled like waters. For your geuerous aud liberal co-operations with me in the discharge of my delicate and onerous duties as well as your kind appreciation of my ser vices, bo pleased to accept my unfeigned thunks. Your uniform courtesy and gentlemanly bearing to myself and to each other, deserves the highest com mendation. For the patient and laborious considera tion you have given to every subject of legislation, and for the wise conclusions at which you have ar rived. you deserve and will receive the thanks of the whole people of our noble old .State. Let us, iu part ing, renew our solemn obligations to our country, trusting iu that benifleeut Providence which has so signally blest us in the past for “wisdom, moderation and justice to guide us iu all our actions in the fu ture. 1 now declare the Senate adjourned sine die, aud bid you all a kind and affectionate farewell and a happy aud a speedy reunion with yonr families and friends.

I wrote in my last letter that resolutions were presented im mediately upon the promulgation of the President*s veto message and other Resolutions when he made hia speech on tho 22d ultimo. Thaw ware referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, and after sovera days two series were reported by that committee to the House. Meanwhile tho excitement had somewhat abated. They were not immediately discussed, hut were assigned for the Sth iustant. Day after day passed, and almost every day there w<we notices of amendments to be made to them wh<» ^hey came up. They earn© op yesterday, and a greift m&y amend ment* were offered; not by democrats, nor yet alto gether by those formerly known os the most conserva tive republicans, but they came from various quarters and were nearly all more conservative in tone h.mh those previously offered, or the aeries reported by the committee. The following, the first of which was of fered by Mr. Jewell, of Boston, and the second by Mr. Morse, of Cambridge, (both among the ablest men in the House) shew the tenor of the sober second thought which prevailed after the first heat of the excitement had moderated * scholar.

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: The hour for our adjournment has arrived, tho duties that have devolved upon us have been dis charged, whether for good or evil the future must de termine. It should be a source of profound gratitude to that Being who has shaped our destiny, that the icy hand of death has not stricken a member of this General assembly, while mauy of our fellow citizens have fallen asleep in death. The circumstances that surrounded us at our msetiug have been somewhat changed, the provisional government under which wo met, has ceased, and we udjourn to-day under a Governor, elected by the sovereign voice of the people of our State. The same cloud however, that overspread our horizon and threatened us with its fury—still blackens our political sky- and though ever »ud anon the sunlight breaks through its curtained glo«>m, betokening the glory of a brighter day—it s* un o’er doodad and all is dark agaifl. The 8-orin of war has passed, yet the echo of its murmur- lugs fall upon the ear, aud the evideuces of its fury are manifest in the desolation that marks Its sweep.— Where we turn, ruin darkens our prospects, and desolation saddens us with the fatality of its b’iglit Onr people bow in sorrow and in sadness—“for the fields of lfeshbon languish and the vine of Sibiniuali," withers and dies. The fruitful fields, the cultivated valleys, the cottage home aud the city palace—evi dence today, the heart-sickening ravages of a mighty revolution—as it was unto Tyre, so it has been unto us, “iu the city is left desolation aud the gate is smit ten with destruction.” “Yet though, destruction, sweep onr lovely plains, Rise fellow men, our ‘manhood yet remains,’ " And if wc are but true to ourselves, true to tbe great principles of civil liberty, true to the rnagna chart* of our rights, the Constitution of our country, to the in domitable will, the irrepressible energy, manly integ rity utid commendable zeal, that lias ever character ized our people, “it is not yet a very little while aud Lebauou shall be turned into a fruitful field.” The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad and the desert shall rejoice uud blossom us the rose.” To accomplish these ends yonr legislation has been directed, you have provided as liberally as your capacities would allow, for the wants of your destitute poor, have properly appreciated the helpless condition of our manned and wounded sol diery, have guarded with commendable fidelity, the rights and lpterests of our former slaves, have passed liberal laws to developc the vast resources of our State, her mineral wealth, her mechanical abilities, her manufacturing powers, und now with convictions of duty discharged, you go hem e to the more agree able and profitable avocations of civil life aud domes tic engagements. Think not, gentlemen, your labors are over you but enter a wider and more faithful field. Here, you contended only with your own prejudices. There you should exert your (towers and the inttuenca of your position to correct the passions vi the hour aud to h irqjonize your people with the surroundings of the present. Exhort them to patience, to forbear ance, und a manly submission to the authorities that Teach them the lessons of harmony, and implore them by all that is dear in the present and ho)>cfill in the future, to unite their energies in the support of a common deatiuy and a eouniiou country. From every quarter of onr Stab* comes the cheering news of the acceptance by our people of the results at the revolution aud the restoration policy of tho chief executive of the Union. We are engaged to-day in a great conflict with Ama- lek for political salvation aud national existence. Our political Moses has lifted lip his bauds so far Israel has triumphed; but those hands are now heavy—heavy with the responsibilities of his position, heavy with the weight of a nation's redemption and the per petuity of the Republic, and unless, like Aaron aud Hur, we stay up his hands until the going down of the sun. the Amulekites will prevail aud civil liberty and republican institutions panic-stricken at the madness of the hour, and the malignity of embittered hate, will leave the world to despotism and misrule. Go forth then to your people in view of the mighty in terests at stake, with words of counsel upon your lips. Teach them the necessity of a commendable patience, a forgiving spirit, a manly loyalty, au active co-opera tion with the authorities of the government in restor ing peace, order aud civil government to our distract ed country. Tell them—though thoy are sojourning in tho wilderness of Shur, with its Hark shadows, its mantling gloom, its forest shades, its dangerous ma zes—they shall not yet be given over to destruction. true they drink none of Maruh's waters, em bittered by the sad recollections of the past and the evils of the present, are true to themselves, they may yet repose beneath the palm trees of Elim and in peaceful security encamp by her wells of waters. Cease not your labors lor the good of your people; ‘Learn to do well, seek judgment, relieve the op pressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow," and when your race is run, wheu the aim of your existence shall go down in death, the glory of his beams will long Unger with those who have honored you with their confidence and support. My connec tion with you now closes, perhaps forever. With you my ass4»ciation8 have beeu of the most agreeable nature, M ud now, in severing them for a season, let wc tender you tbe acknowledgments of a grateful heart ">r the uniform kindness and courtesy you have ex- •ndod to mo as your presiding officer, and for the generous confidence that lius characterized your official conduct. I have endeavored, gentlemen, to discharge the duties of my position faithfully aud im partially, Mud if Jn their performance I have wounded a feeling or stirred one unpleasant emotion, rest assured, it waa an error of tbe head, not of the heart. To each of you 1 tender a God-speed to the constituents that have honored you, and ths family and friends that welcome you home, invoking upon you tho fostering care and protection of Him whose kind providence has thus far preserved you amid all the ills of life, and wishing you, individually, health, happiness and long life, I bid you farewell, and adjourn this House with out a day. —The Columbia (S. C.) Phrmix of the Sth says: “Gen. Wade Hampton arrived in this place a day or two ago. He is in good health and spirits, and says his freed people are working well on his plantation iu Louisiana. —The Free School which has Just been re-organi/.od in Macon, under the auspices of Col. Whittle, Presi dent of the Free School Board of Trustees, gives romise of great usefulness to the community. Rewloed, That we are not unmindful of the patriotic course of the President at the outset and during the continuance of the late civil war, nor of the services rendered aud sacrifice* borue by him during tbe re bellion ; and wc trust that, by tbe exercise of the samo qualities of wisdom and firmness which made hun stand by the Union in its great peril, aud by a course of prudence and conciliation, the existing differences between Congress and the President may be harmon ized and adjusted, and a way found lor the return of the States lately in rebellion to their proper practical relations to the Union, consistently with a just dis charge of our obligations to the freedmen, aud the security of the liberties and rights of all the peopln under the Constitution. Resolved, That the people of Massachusetts have entire confidence in the patriotism of the President of the United Htrites, and in the members ofthe Congress of the United States, that no efforts on their part will be spared to restore peace and harmony amoug tho several States on a sure and lasting basis, in accord ance with the great principles of the Constitution. So many amendments were offered, and there was such a diversity of opinion apparaut that the con sideration of the vexed question, after a lengthy dis- -cussion, was still further postponed. I suppose that pretty radical resolutions will finally be passed, though I very much doubt that they yvill contain a censure of the President, while a very respectable piinority favor indefinite postponement of the whole subject. The great eveut of the week iu this section of the country has been the discovery ofthe murderer of the Joyce children, in Roxbury woods, last June. I gave yon the particulars at the time. Two children, a girl of 12 years and a boy of 10 years, while strolling in the woods, were foully murdered, and their mutilated bodies accidentally discovered some days afterwards. The girl had been ravished. No clue was discovered to the murderer until quite recently. Several suspi cious people were arrested and examined without furnishing a hint Rewards aramiptlng to £5,000 or £6.000 were offered. AH the detectives about here were on the case. It was one of those horrible crimes which, thrill every heart. What motive could there be to kill innocent children ? Every parent felt tha the safety of his darlings waa menaced. The murdrr has finally beeu traced home to a desperado now serv ing a sentence for burglary iu our Ntaje Prison. Is is supposed that he was born in this city, of Spanish uud American parents. His first name was said to be Kolia Ampudia. He was taken from an asrium iu Boston when four years of age, aud adopted bVTl family in the country- When 13 years old fie went to sea, and afterwards led a wild roving life. It is reported tliat at the breaking out of hostili ties he was serving a sentence for murder in Charles ton 8. C. He was pardoned out of prison, and went into the Confederate army. Ho accompanied Morgan on his raid into Indiana, and was captured on the re turn while trying to escape pursuit by swimming the Ohio. Afterwards he was paroled at Annapolis, and entered the Union army. He has also served on seve ral gunboats. He had many aliases. After the mur der of th*;^ Joyce children he wandered about the country disguised as an old man. He is but 27 years of age. After he was suspected, the final links in the case were discovered by a detective who wen tto prison, lived on prison fare, submitted to prison discipline, was cropped, and clothed iu parti-colored garb, and became the companion of -the prisouor. who had never given any name except “Scratch Gravel ” since his ar rest for burglary. The defective learned some things but the fellow was very closo. Since charged with the crime, be has wilted like a broken cabbage-leaf, re fuses Ins food, and has tried to break his head against the granite walls of liis solitary coll. This ruffian’s case will probably go before the grand jury next month, and if the evidence is conclusive he will swing, to the delight of all lovers of law and order. A harder villian cannot be found within the lour seas. The first of the series of receptions by the Boston Art Club was given last Wednesday evening at Horti cultural Hall, one of the elegant buildings which have l>een erected in Boston during tho war. In previous years the receptions have Decs given in the Studio Building <>n Tremont street, the studios being thrown open to the crowds of gay visitors. This plan had one advantage—the visitors were enabled to obtain glimpses of the dens where the artists did their work, and generally to see not only Hie finished pictures but also the studies aud sketches iu their crude state. But ou the whole, considering these receptions are at- texded by crowds, it is better to have them in a large hall, where certain representative pictures can be • brought together aud comfortably looked at by alL A .smaller hall below was used for tiinmbiug of superflu ous garments, lor this was a dreif occasion, and the paintings were surrounded very properly by the charms of music, flowers and female loveli ness. Tho pictures were rauged ou the walls and were numerous enough to cover nearly all the avail able spaco. None of them, perhaps', were of striking excellence; mauy were rather inferior, but criticism under the circumstances would scarcely be fair, and so seemed to tliiuk the numerous art-lovers of Bos. ton who attended the reception. Boston has a large number of citizsus qualified by study, travel aud culture to appreciate aud judge of art. A real “Her- bouian" would tell you how much a head of all the other cities of America, Boston is in this respect, but you will excuse mo, if I, believing that “comparisons are odorous,” decline to admit any such thing. 1 know that it is common to say that Boston is se vere and exacting; hut I know also that there are many mxKllch w ho belong to the tun, and undertake to express opinions. However, let that rest while 1 say a few words more about the reception. Nearly all the best artists of the city belong fe the club, und they were generally represented at the reception. Among those whoso works graced the walls were Gerry, Young, Griggs, M. W. Brackett, E. A Brackett, Brown, iianiiqett Billings, Norton, Russ, Urdway, Uodgdou, Copeland, Codman, Barry, Jfrez, zell, Hording, E. T. Billings, Scott, Carpenter, Hart well, Bricher. Miss d. Stetson, Hyde, Mrs. Murry, Hig gins, Fletcher. Curtis, Freeman, Pratt, Boring, and many others, dome of these names are quite familiar, while their works are well known. The best signs of promise, however, were found iu the works of artists least known. There does seem to b* a chance for a hope that the age of imitation ill art is passing away, und that by and by there will be an American schooL Is it not absurd for our artists to go to 'Rome and Florence to copy paintings and sculpture all their lives wheu Nature has so many lessons unlearned ? I have little patience with those who call themselves ai ti*U, who gain applause by making op pictures out of shreds and nutohes of European galleries. Our younger artists begin to feel u Uuw impulse* I hope it will provu to bo a command to start out into a new and fresh field iu perfect harmony wtlh the age. . The Legislature of Massachusetts lias many hobbies, but that ol the prohibitory liquor j aw j s the most in teresting among those of a local nature. This is one of its main columns of support. It stands over against Sambo, who is the other famous caryatid ■which helps to support the temple of the party. The prohibitory law is au element of great strength in tbe rural dis tricts. Every school district has its T >tal-Abstinence Society, with u le.w Ciceros and Plutarchs to keep it iu u perpetual state of excitement. These forces united uml completely organized make a power which the politicians are obliged to bow to. Every Republican politician in Massachusetts, who hopes for office, is expected to get dow'u ou his marrow-hours aud cry “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” This naturally breeds hypocracy; for a good many of ttiefe same poli ticians are “jolly good fellows” when out of leading strings. We never had had a Total-Abstinence Governor thut I am aware of. Governor Bulloch is a gouifemau who likes aud graces tne festive circle, where the wine passes freely. Governor Andrew is a good liver, whose jovial paunch is a standing argu ment against asceticism. Banks kuows the beauties of the matutinal cocktail and the midnight punch. Gardner, who to conciliate the tsmperauc* element, declared himself “a temperance uiau of fourteen years’ standing,” lias the reputation of a bon viraat. it is barely possible that Boutwell never drank any thing but milk and water. Tho appearances favor that theory, and I will not go behind them, but he sat in the Governor’s chair before the Maine Law was enacted in this State. But I am away oat at 'sea. I was going to tell you how the total abstainers are now situated. They have nassed the co^ahnlarv *w. wtich v«. u.**r.xS, of now fifty mi u. for tbe b*ttor vijbrve- mentof the law* ; hut they‘find tint that is not enough to do the business. The chief of Police of the city of Boston was recently celled before e Leg- Islstit e committee, end, in his sietenfonl expressed the opinion tint the number oMmuor aaioons was m Urge as ever in the city. He thought public opinion wee the strongest obstruction to the enforcement Of the lew. un the other heud. e Hr. Pitman of Hew Bedford; the euthor of the Constebulery BUI, declared the seme dey thet the lew could be enforced, if they would exclude liquor deelers from the June*. Such a bill was pessed lest yeer, but the Governor (Andrew) vetoed it, on count* tatty si ground* Jt is understood by the abstain*r» that Oor, BuSock Wil I sign such e bill, but X deim H jff|ie48^» h* la a hypocrite, aud be is geneiVTy taken for a gentlemen, aa well as a CoKDmon or IjIbehia.—In his message to the Li berian Congress, In December hist, I’rcsident Warner, after referring to the extinction of slavery in this country, alludes to the subject of immigration in tho following manner: •‘On the subject of immigration wc cannot but feel s deep interest. Our population is still exceedingly scanty. Our need of population is mim<-Plate and urgent Our immense resources cannot be develop ed—the fruits of tho earth, spontaneously produced, cannot bo gathered—tlio 1st of the laud cannot be made available, simply for the want of minds end hands to engage in the necessary o]S'r«tions. Surely, with the vaat latent capabilities of this country, we have the ability to become 2 power by no means to bo deapiaed in the agricultural and commercial world.’ He invites the freedmen of the United States to emi grate to Liberia end help those already there to build up the vaat sohtudea which for rcntnrics have re mained uninhabited. He feels certnln that in course of time Liberia will he sought for as ail asylum by the race of blacks generally. He considers the peo pling of that country by the freedmen to be the most likely solution of the vexed question concerning the future of the race in the United States. The United States Supreme Court lias decided as to the jurisdiction over tho navigable rivers within State borders, that the constitutional powers of the Federal Government arc plenary, and the reserved rights of the State^farc dormant, aud that the intervention of ( ongress may be asked for the protection of com- merca. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, in reply to various strictures upon his course during the war, has written a letter stating thst the Tt Deutn sung at Charleston in 1661, when Fort Sampler was taken, was because the fort fell without lues of life. He also states that be waa in Charleston when the famous letter from the Pope to Jefferson Davis was written. The Bishop disclaims any agency in procuring that lctcr, and re" gurds it and Davis' reply not as a recognition by the Pope of the Confederacy, but as a correspondence be tween individuala—private, not diplomatic.
