He says: “It Is a significant fact that the gentleman to whom the CousUtntloiudtet belongs, is an aspi rant for Gubernatorial konor*.” This i* not the tact. I neither aspire to, soak, <>r de-ire any thing of the kind. 1 ask no position now except that of u private in the ranks of the Itemoorutlc parly. It is true. that. In 1537, I did desire, for personal rea.sous then existing, but which exist no longer, the nomination of the dem ocratic party t)>r tlovemor;but it even then would only have Wen acceptable to me if freely and oor dtalty tendered. 1 was unwilling to take it. nr oven to aspire to It, at the hazard of the harmo ny of the party, or of angry collision among the friend* of rival aspirant*. Iu thlaaplrit my name wa* announced to the convention, and In this spirit was it withdrawn ly my friend*. They acted, and acted property, in pursuance of my letter to the Richmond delegation rend to Hie con vention. Thus ended my aspiration# for gul*ornuterial honor*. I emphatically disavow all efforts <m my part, and nil oonnectinn with efforts made or which may be made, to influence the Democratic party, or mix member of it, for or against any particu lar tNTfttn for the next tioaalinition. It nnv obitaele* exist, or h’any should arise, to the re-nomination of Gov. Brown, they are not and will not boos my making. I make the same remark with reference to any and all other gentle men who may possibly be aspiring to a notnina tion; it being my purpose to hold entirely aloof from all contest* ofthut kind, hnld any arise. The course which you may see fit to pursue iu this matter, it Is for your ow n uiitraiuuivUni judg ment to decide, under tho obligations resting up on you ai au editor. Hid I tnppoted vou capa ble of being swayed by any other influence* than a manly apirttol indef*eiideuce.uda regard to duty, you would not have been invited to the post you now occupy. It was my pride, during ti.e many yarn I was editor of the UoHHtitntionolitt, teomlut it ill the spirit of truth and candor, wliliout fear, favor or affection toward) cliques and cabals, and w ith a view singly to those great and pennancut luteresi* of the country which I cwneeived were iowlved in t|ic dcstinicK of the partjrt which I was at tached.

Its length precludes all other matter from our columns, and, yet, we imagine no one will think that it is too long, or that our space could lie more profitably filled. It to due to ourselves to say that wo are opposed to the bill under consideration, oruny bill by which a donation of land, or other common property of the nation. 1y Congrew, is required for such an undertaking. The plan proposed by our distin guished Senator, in lieu of the one submitted, is the least objectionuble of suy, for the very cogent reason In- assign-; but we hope that other coun sels will prevail and prevent Congress from em barking in this *tupendous scheme of internal im protement.

It to a Hubject within the sound discretion of Uungne**: mod onlinurily. railroad grants, a* they are yalled, Contribute largely to the public good. It is frUe they benefit individuals, those who own the roads; but it is not an objection to them in my view, if they, ret the same time, do not dimmish the value amt price of the lands reserved by the Government, or lessen the aggregate *um lor which the whole sell. If ihe Governmentoy the operation ami effect of these grants, obtains ;i* much money fer the reserved altcrnat sectfemi as the whole would command without the road, and sell* them sooner, ami at the same lime stim ulate- tbeir settlement and cultivation, thus in crcaaing the population and wealth of the country I md opening avenue* of commerce and travel. I i l * K “* Ul ’ - ’ s cc what objection there controlled always by & sound discretion, a. to the objects of the grant und’the necessity or propriety and value off the proposed road. Raliaving that we have the power to grunt the laud*, 1 do not doubt the expediency of making the grunt in tbl ca.-e. If ever there was a necessity or propriety in building any railroad, and giving the aid ot the Government to it cousiruction, it •exist.-, in my opinion, in this very cane. 1 .shall uot consume time in enuineratiug tbo reasons for the construction of this read: they are .*■<* numerous and so very obvious that none can doubt, and may be said to entablish an abso lute nece.-sity. Nor have 1 any doubt that Con gress may authorize uud provide fee a contract with the constructors of this railroad for thv trans portation of the Baited State# mails, troops, mu nitions ot War uud other ttovermueitt properly, fora definite period of yeora, at a certain annual price, aud may undertake to pay the contract price, either in whole or iu part, in advance.— This is also a questioned’ mere with in 8 the constiuifional power* of Congress, and •nly to be guided and governed by a sound and proper discretion. If, therefore, by the exercise •*f these eonstitationul power*, uud within h wh.de sowe discretion, the constraetion of this great w ork of public necessity and imeluines# can be seeured and occomplishe.l, l tbiitk the obligation npoa ns to exercise the power to imperative. But sir. whilst 1 am u warm advocate for the con struction of this road, and am ready and w illing to grunt Government aid, within thecmuKjtutiomd bounds, an<l to n reasonable extent, I am not wil liug to vote an acre of land a dollar of money toward* the construction**!’ a Pacific railroad which will be u located as to confer all it# bene fit# upon one section of this Union. I made this objection at the last session, and I #taud bv it ut this. Now, sir, T have uot a solitary doubt, that if only one roud is provided for and the route is left “pen to be selected by the company who shall undertake it, a northern route will be adopted, making it* immediate connection* with the nor them and northwestern roods, nud periling all it* vust travel and freights over those roads and info the northern Stales and cities ol Uifo Union. The South may now and then get u straggling passenger, or a box of stray goods, but the great bulk of all its operations will be turned tow naff# the North; aud. sir, i eanuot but be surprised that any southern Senator should be willing to vote such a muguifieeut donation of land aud money to au enterprise from whiub his section if likely to derive such ttitling profits. Will it l, said, sir, that it the South has the best rtute. andtalists will build the road on that roub v Is it likely that northern capital will be invested to construct a southern road? No, sir; not u dollar will ever be so spent. The political and sectional prejudices which pervade tho northern people against tin- South would he sufficient of themselves to deter them. How muh northern capital to ever invested in southern enterprise* ? It to a notorious fact, that whilst no northern rail road ever pays more than six percent, and man v of them pay less, whitot some pay nothing, there to scarcely a railroad in all the southern Stales that doe* not pay seven per cent., a large majority of them yield eight per cent., and many of them even more. And yet, sir. there to not one dollar of northern capital in a thousand, yea, probably not iu ten thousand, invested in southern roods. Northern capitalists shun all southern invest- I ‘ t out< as if the ‘ory touch was pollution. Why, • sir,whilst a uortbern umn, with northern security! <-un burrow aiiy amount of money m Now York at from four to six ner cent, per annum. I veoturv tosuv that even flit* Senator from South t'uroliiia, [Mr. Haiimokd,] as wealthy a* he is and as pop ular as ho has lately rendered himself hi the North by his Barnwell speech, if ho wore to goto New York and ask for a loan of SIO,OOO. and propose to mortgage his plantation and negroes, worth halt a million, as security. he could not out u dollar. Such, sir, is the worthless opinion which nor thern capitalists have of southern securities, south ern enterprises, und southern iuvestment*, And, •'ir. do you think that these feelings, these npmious these) prejudices, would not oja-rate in the selection and construction of a Pacific railroad* But, sir, there is even a utoru powerful cause than these, which would control the question of selection and force the road upon a northern route, ( peu this speculation to northern cupidity ; put this glittering prize of twenty-f.ve million acres of the public land and twenty-five millions of tiov cminent money, in (lie shape of a twenty-five years’mail contract, up to competition, and who can doubt for a moment that it would lx? clutched by northern speculator* and capitalist* ? And whenweaddto these the counties* million* of commercial benefits and moneyed receipts which a Pacific railroad woidd bring to the section into which it is to run* when we look ut the vast moneyed interests already invested in northern and western roads, and the large uumber of peo ple concerned in them, all residing in the North and West—he must be indeed blind who could for a moment suppose that a southern rant© would be adopted. Do yon think, sir, that the railroad companies of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio. In dtana, Illinois, Michigan, lowa,‘Wiscouiu, Miu ■••ota, to pay #tkiag#f tbs N’tw Bug I*** btata# with all their various, ramified in terest, their numberless stockholder* and v*i moceyed 1 anti commercial counectiuns and rehi tious, would furnish the menus or permit a south urn road to he built 7 No. sir: they would bin.- unlimited control over the subject, and v oid place the road where their own interests would be most promoted. lam not opposed to u north cm road. lam willing to give the North tin privilege of building one if they choose, and put them upon the same footing with tbo South. I am willing to grunt land to a northern roud, and give it the aid of a liberal mail contract; but 1 iu*i-t that the South shall be put on a perfect equality with the North. If tho North can take the land ami the mail contract, and raise the ipcun* to con struct a northern POad,Jct her do it. If the South, wftih like advantages, cannot do so. let the South suffer from the failure. All we want is to have un equal chance. Givens that, and, for one, 1 shall never murmur at or envy the North unv benefit* it may derive from a Pacific railroad built by it.- superior wealth or superior enterprise. But Ido object to and protest ngninsf any nrningemont *by which the uol of the Government is to be invoked to construct a work of internal improvement which i* to la-so unequal iu it* operation* , which will confer untold benefits and blessings upon one, aud comparatively none upon the other, zectiou of tke Union. Sir, thtouuequul flow of tlm Government money and Government benefit* into the great northern maelstrom bos been going on long enough, and shall not conriutte longer by any vote of mine. I do not objectte northern prosperity: but l insist that, in the diapeneation of Government money and patronage, every section shall be put on uu equality. Sir, if the statistical tables of Govern ment expenditurey were con-ulted, it would op pear that reor* than three-fourth's of the money and lauds expended by Government havu boon appropriated to the North and WY.-i, comprising the free States of this ITffion. It is all wrong, sir. If either socrion to tA have the advantage, it should be the weaker oue. The North boasts of her su perior numerical at length ami her great prepon derance iu wealth, uud yet her Settlor* aud Rep resenfafives iu Congress lei no opportunity - cape, but are ever pressing and pushing forward every Government scheme that can uud to these element* of power ou the one hand, or weaken them ou the other. Such, sir, have been the workings of the Federal Government since the formation of tbo Federal Union : and such. I apprehend, will He its workings as long ms that Union lasts, or un til the South a>*erl* her equality of rights aud benefit* as the condition of remainiug in the Union: Aud speaking of the Union, ir, f take occasion to say that Ikuiw is another reason connected with it, which make* me object to any hill, the ,pruvi ions of which will secure tin- Government aid m the construction of a railfoiul to the Pacific, ex elusively eonltoied to the northern State*. Sir. I believe (hut the time will come when the mlkvc Stutes will be compelled, in vindication of their rights, interests and honor, to separate from the free States, and erect an independent Confederacy; aud I am not sure, sir. that tlietime is not near ut liuad wb*m that event will oucur. At all events, 1 am satisfied that one of two things to inevitable : either that the slave Slates must surrender their peculiar institutions, or separate from the North. Ido not intend, on .tbi* octitMiutt, to enter iuto an elalgtrate ‘JT prolonged di*eusiou of this projKi sitiuu. I content mvselfwith expressing my firm belief, and a brief ulus Into to the foundation of that opinion. It is on necessary tojlo.-k back to the coinmcuociuent of the anti-slavery agitation in the northern States, and to trace it* regular and rapid growth to its prefteift monstrous profMirtions. I remember twenty-five years ago, when |*ti tions were first presented to Congress for the abo lition of slavery iu the District of Columbia ; it was the beginning of the agilutiou, and was lim ited to a few deluded religiom fanatics among*) the men, aud aoinwof the weaker rex, of the New England State*. It nexerthelcsi aroused the fear* and exite%T the augry feelings <>t many of the acutheru people; it produced much discussion in Congress, and amongst the newspaper pro* of the southern State*. Many expressed their belief that it wa* a beginning of u *torui which wa* to sweep over lire tree State*, carrying everything before it; but they were met with ilu> syren song which the distinguished Senator from South Carolina has recently ho eloquently poured forth, “there is no dauger; slavery to too strong to be overturned: let the sound, conservative mind and*heart of the North be appealed l<>. and all wHI be right ; our frieuds there will protect us.” Behold the result of the late elections ! With the bold, tmdtogntoeb declaration of hostility to slavery at the South, enunciated by the great lender of it* eucruic* at Rochester, with bis loud sounding pronuncintaicn to of “down with the nccur.red thing .’’ with the bloody flag of anti- slavery unfurled, and “war ti the knife” written upon its fold*, there to not ai this day a majority of true, conservative friend* of the right* of the South in a single free Stnie -f’ tbi* Union this side the Hockey .sb-utit:iin“. Tin demon of abolition. in bis most hideous shajn-. has covered them oil over with the footprint* ,! his onward and remocseles* march to power. Sir, he know* but little of the workings “f hu man nature, who suppose* tbnt t-he spirit of avu slavery fanaticiMU which now pwrvade* the liorto end und aim—the universal emancipate>u of slav ery in the * nited State* by the operation and ae tionof tbe Federal Government. When Mr. IV ii Vrforce begun tho agitation of his acheme >t emancipation iu the British West India Island.-, there was not a corporal’s guard ill both House of the British Bar! in met it who sympathised with him or approved the tnovomeut: and yet, in h— than a quarter of a century, all England became abolitionized, and perpetrated, by a decree in Parliament, one of the uioit arbitrary and out rageogs violations of private rights which was e\ er inflicted by despotic power upon peaceful and loyal subjects.’ And so it will be in this country The same spirit which brought about em&n< >]>;>- tiou iu the British Islands, will produce it here whenever the power u* obtained to pass ami to en force its decrees. When the present Republican party, or its legitimate successor* in some other name, shall get possession of the Government : when it has the President, b..th Houses of Con gresfc. and the judiciary, what will stay its hand ‘( It cannot stand still: if it done, it die-. To live and reign, it must go ou. Step by step it will V driven onward m Its mad career until slavery is abolished or the Ihiion dissolved. One of these two things in as iuev it able as death. I know that there are men even, in the South, wht*. like the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, argue that slavery Is stronger and safer now in the Union than It ever ha* been!—that the South, by unity aud concert, can always combine with a partv at the North sufficiently strung to curry ,thc election and control he actio* of'the Federal Government. In my opinion there’ never was * greater mistake. Suppose the election of President vrerc to viue ufi at this time, uml all the southern State, including even Maryland, were united upon a candidate • how many free States would he carry? Perhaps California, and if tthc u admitted; but not another State. The ieceut elections show clearly that the Aboli tionist* have not only a decided but an over whelming majority, in eve ry free State on the At lautic slope. In nil the late elections, conservative aud souud democracy. the only element ynapaliii zing with the South, has not carried a single free State. Ido not consider tlw triumph of the dis tinguished Senator from Illinois j Mr. Bvu ni.ts] a a victory of sound Democracy. It wu* a victo ry of t're-Soil Democracy over Abolition Whig erv, uiul no more ; and I would not give a copper fur the different. Pofuras the South and iier constitutional right* arc concerned, it wit* a vic tory over her and over them. I would not turn on my Iwl for | choice between the Wilmut proviso undthe -quaUer-Hovcreiguly doctrine ami policy of the Senator from niinoi*. Indeed, sir. if l was driven to select between them, l would utke tlm former. It i* often, manly, and decisive; it settles the question at ouoc, by debarring the southern people, in teiius, from entering tho Terri tories with thdr slave property : it is an open amt undisguised denial of right to the South, which the South could resist or submit to, as her souse of honor .. r her policy might diotatc, whilst the squatter-sovereignty doctrine and practice, as tie fined by its distinguished advocate, is plausible, delusive, deceptive, uml fatal. No mau of e,>m men sense can suppose that, under it, the South will ever obtain another foot of Territory, or add another clave State to this Union. Both are political heresies, finding no authority in tho Constitution ; equally violative of the right- of the southern people, subversive of their equality in the Union, and an insult to their honor, which in uiy opinion, alikc£demaud their reprobation and resistance. The people of the southern {states, as coequal* ill the Ynion, and as joint und equal owners of the public territory, have the right to emigrate to these Territories with their sjave property, and to the protection und the enjoyment of that pr<q>crty by law during the existence of the territorial gov eminent: laws passed by Congress a* the trustee and common head of the joint property—head f dll the State* and nil the pooplo of the Stales in the public territory ; laws recognizing the equal right ot every citizen to go in and possess and enjoy tb omuion inheritance; laws, not to do j.rive men ot property, but to regulate and secure U.s (’"joyiuui. laws to put every man in the I'ni ted States up , , an equal footing iu the e\c*reio of a great cohutitational right, Thin, *ir, is what we of the South arc entitled to at the hands us m common Government ; nud we ought not to be content with Ic*b, or submit to u denial of it. 1 aiu free to declare here, that if I had the control of the southern people, I would demand this -t Congress at the organization of every territo rial government a* the term* upon which tin* South should remain in the Union. I would „°*t r “right” in one hand and “separ ntun M in the other, and leave the North t<* choose between them. If you would do us jus tice. I would live with you in peace; if you de nied us justice. I would not live with yu* another day. Sir. abolition is advancing with rapid strides to the accomplishment of its great cud, the universal emancipation of slavery in the United States. The distinguished Senator from New York, [Mr. Se ward.] when he uttered hi* anathemas, and ush ered forth hia declaration of war against southern ulavery at Rochester, understood well the feeling wkiih wyi, and it likely to sway, the masse* in
