know about his cnure at the last session of Con
gress. Tim centleman started out 'as an uftra nf
the extremist school and was guilty of the had
taste of talking about "war to iheknifu" with theill
considered object of frightening the Representative
of the Union. This.m our opinion wai h-crd em-
agogueiira nothing heller or worse ; and was very
harmless unless the change in the spi'lt of the
gentleman shall harm himself. Ho persisted in
his ultraUm until the last days of the session col-
leaguing with ihe disunionists and always counted
as one ol them until the question was taken on the
Texas bill whrn to the astonishment of all except
a ffv ha voted for "the bribe." The world at
hrge was astonished at least nearly all before the
curtain who watch the proceedings nf Coup ress.
and man? ar.d bitter were the taunts of The Tri
bune and other affiliated free-soil presses who were
surprised by the chance. .
Upon that change chafers prejudicial to Mr.
Howard" honesty are being built up and ii has
been boldly assented in om legislature that Wall
Street innrey 1 ought bis vote. Now as we bo-
Mieve we know precisely what effected tho change
and a the change Was really creditable to him
precisely in a laliu with the discredit which prop-
erly attached to his first cnurse we will relate it.
We were in Washington when the bill passed
and bad snmc knowledge of the private as well as
of the puhlic political action. The Texas bill had
failed and Mr. Howard was given to undcrstan i
that it wonhj so stand unless be would vote for the
reconsideration and the passage. He was notified
that there were enough members to effect the re
consideration and passage who bad gone against
the lull on the first ole. bill would go fur it if

In fact the fugitive-slave bill would not-be carried

la my own StaJe I pledged myaelf to the truth of!
their ktalcm-iit3 ; and it is with no ordinary satis-

ticipauon. If I bad ever entertained for a single
moment a doubt .uf nt existence in diis Empire

My distinguished friend from Mississippi has -alluded
to the Comnititce of Thirteen and he has
stated that be was not a member of it. But
though he was not a member of it; he was its .cre-
ator cheers and but for bis most strenuous exer-
tions against sarcasms denunciations and every
pecics of opposition brought to hear from all quar
ters the appointment of the committee would nev-n
r hive bcju accomplished. Ho per3ivered audi vo
persevereJ till the compromise measures passed the
committee ; and he was not a member uf it only
because he wished to do the work without taking
the honors. Cheers. The importance of that
committee was greater perhaps than you are aware.
Up to that time in the Senate we were d.vided J and
it was only in the committee that the gleat men to
whom I hate alluded laid their beads and their
heans together and forfeiting their party distinct-
ions and prejudices in the all-absorbing love of their
common country framed those bills which were
ultimately crowned with success. Loud cheers
It ought therefore! never to be forgotten that one
of the most conspicuous actors in the drama of
which the Committee uf Thirteen constituted so
prominent a part was my friend who has jusf ad-
dressed you. Cheers. I am happy to say with
him that the danger in a grtat measiirc is past.
The indications of Georgia are distinct ; of Ala
baraa there is no doubt ; and ultimately Mississip-
pi and all the slaveholding States will be right ex-
cept perhaps South Carolina; but even in her
case there are indications that ihe will pause he-
fore she takes the rash step she has threatened.
Probably you arc not aware of the extent she has
gone. Independent of the action of the late Con-
gress there is too much reason to believe that she
was decidedly determined to separate'frbm the Un-
ion long ago. The Governor has declared it.; the
greatest Wn of the State have decarcd it; and the
ablest pamphlet that ever issued Irom'hcr printing
presses has not only "declared it but taken the
ground that -there ought to bc"a""sep'aration between
the North and the South fiqm ihe" .incompatibility
of the interests of these -.tw-d'greit se'etioris of the

The danger I think is over but ihe
solemn lesson which it conveys ought not

before the two bodies during the last session
which precluded deliberation upon less important

of business the res'rftition cama up for action on

died and his Cabinet had gone nut of nfiice and

but when your Legislattnes in solemn con-

Central Government into their own hands
yoii will agree. -with me that there was same

therefore to' control these men and not per-

lowing this Course the country will soon at-

our ancestors were and we shall hnve to
agree with Sooth C'arolin 1 that the awful
word 'separation' must be piouoiiiu-ud.
''Cries ol ."'Never') I do not anticipate
such a cnlastrophe; but it is for you to decide
whether it should be piouoiiuccd or nut.
One great cause of the difiicvltirs.bctwccn
the two sections is n want of mutual uniler-
anding of each other. It has been a set.
tied purpose in certain quarters to keep the
people of the South from knowing the real
state of the Noith. l'eritnps intelligent as
thev nte. there i not one voter in ten that is
correctly informed; and the majority of them
think. r.l this very moment that you are
against them because their presses lead them
astray. One of the most remarkable tn
stances of the sagacity of lhe Union Safety
Committee of this city is that it has taken
measures to diffuse correct information in the
South as well as the North. Lot us only
understand oach other brother and we
shall never quarrel. It is hy misapprehen
rion and perversenrss that such unhappy
differences arise. One of the most decided
statements I ever made on this point was in
my own State in Baton Rouge the scat of
government. I pointed to the example ol
Judge Douglas of Chicago; to the example
of Cass and Webster ntid tue President ol
Ihe .United Stales. (Loud cheering ) I told
Ihem that they ought to have faith in the
Nnrlh. Yet I was 'told hv some and the
press nt-Ncw Orleans.Jhat I dared not re

in your behalf was Correct. The fceiing
