Mr. 8, said: lam glad to aqc that somo gentleman tn tlila part of tho House are satls- tted with that resolution, and I hope that they will vote for it. I Shall not vote for the reso- lutlonof the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Cart er) as it now stands. I wish to do all that tho country requires. But wo have had no opportunity of presenting our views upon this question of national intervention; nnl then again a demand 1ms been made, in a sol emn form, to give to Louis Kossuth tho aid •tot influence of tho abolition society. I have regarded ids movements with a great deal of Interest sinco his arrival in this country, nnd hiJid I been hero when the resolution of wel come from tho Scimt e was passed I might have voted for it. Since then I have had my ojrels oiwned, and I think it is time for every gentleman herd, especially from the Southern country; to pause and sec what they arc about. 4, Noiv;dook at tho state of things on this floor.

Sir, I cannot go in such company tn honor him. fe-av that I should reluctantly consent oven to go to heaven in such conqmny. [Laughter.] But I need have no apprehension of that kind, for these Statu rights' men In the “ charnel- house ” abolition party are not bound In that direction. I conld not tbllow them, no mat ter how sacred tho flog they pretended to raise. I should first desire to examine tho foot of the standard bearer to seo If It was not cloven. I would not bullovo such men were In the right path unless one rose from the dead to assure mo when I ran among tho leaders— the members from Massachusetts (Messrs, Maim and Kantoul) and the member from Ohio, (Mr. Otddlngs.) Mr. Chnlrninu, I hnvo heard it said that Austria. Russia, and Haynnu have friends and uilvocates in this House. 1 might with pro priety refer this unworthy remark to tho gen tleman on the other side. Tho author of it will llnd among tils political friends men of patriotism equal to tits, whoso deportment ho had better imitate, who are ub Arm In their opposition to tills resolution os nny on this side of thu- House. Oentlemeu of both parties ore opposing It. Whigs and Democrats, actu ated by principle—firm, true and unflinching men—unite In opposing It. Sir, If t wore to say of any ono here tlint ho spoke like ono who had boon iutlinato with discussions at tho Five l'olute, in Now York and thorn learned Ills courtesy, I should not bo more unjust than ho was who charged thoso who oppose this resolution os being tho friends of Haynnu. This matter demands very careful consid eration. When we sue the courso adopted by the abolitionists; when wo soo tho proceed ings of tlio abolition convention; when we Ionic to tho Senate and there And Messrs.

It is trno that General Cass (s with them, but Oovornor Soward will beat him nt tbat game out of sight Not only In Pennsylvania, but In Ohio, a man hearing tho name of lfinkol la collecting money, nnd assorting that hu intends to aid In abolishing slavery. I lmvo several oftlio Ohio pnpors publishing tho proceedings of moot ings in which tho Pennsylvania Convention finds aiders nnd abetters. I lmvo only tituu to add. Mr.Cliiltnnan. that I am willing to do all that courtesy requires towards Kossuth, hut it is due to him that his name be not allowed to apiiear ns sanc tioning the wishes of thoso who, so unworthi ly, nre willing to injure him to give themselves somo poor advantage.

I will soy to him, In tho com mencement, nnd very frankly, that ho need bo at no trouble about going to heaven, for ho will not find the path. [Laughter.] Tho gentleman seems not to have discussed any matter submitted to this House or this Congress, but ho has seen proper to travel to Philadelphia to catch up newspaper articles to discuss here, instead of tliu resolution un der consideration. This was unexpected to ine, nnd he appeals to mo ns though ho felt confident that ho could draw me from my pro priety, to enter into n discussion of this kind. It is no compliment that the gentleman has |aild to my judgment, and if hu hud known me us well us he should, he must have known that he could succeed in no utteinpt to draw me into a discussion of this character. 1 thank him not for tills left-handed compliment to my judgment nnd understanding. He should have known that no slaveholder, by tlio crack of his lash, could drive mu into au impropri ety of this kind. My sentiments that gentleman well knows, and he is also aware that I am at all times ready to express them, here nnd elsewhere. He will bear testimony to tile promptitude with which 1 have always met attacks upon my sentiments.

At or before tills season of tlio year, it is usual for intelligent and successful farmers to lay out tbolr ptnnR and commence the prepar ation of their lands for a new crop of oats, corn, cotton, $0. In tills region of country, tlio last two years,(with here nnd there an ex ception, have been lilgtily unpropitluiis to tlio growth of average crops, particularly of tho two former, and had not an nbnhdant wheat harvest como to our relief tho country would have had a foretaste of a temporary famine.— As It is, It will require the exercise of the most rigid economy upon tho part of all concerned for the next six months to enable the provis ion crop of Inst year to hold out until the new ono is laid by or gathered. We will venture the assertion, tlint within the recollection of tlio " oldest inhabitant,” there never was n more universal failure at the South oftlio oat crop, than the one witnessed last year, nor a more magnificent display of nubbins and small potatoes. Fortunately for themselves, If not for tlioir owners, n goodly number of neat cattlo took a near cut out of trouble by surfeiting themselves upon blasted or smut com in tbe fall, and thus escaped the more tardyaml mortifying process of gradual star vation. Enough however, survive, and horn less and foddorlcss,wander forth seeking some thing to devour, to excite our commiseration, it 'd elicit our charities; and tve would suggest to the worthy officer) and members ofthe different Agricultural Associations in Georgia, that fairs bo hold durlng-the present year for their ospeclnl boneflt. > But our primary object in penning this ar ticle is, to urgoupon our agricultural (Mends j loss cotton, and more isr Southern Rights Party.
