e Constitution, with the equality of rights under it, unimpaired. That as soon as these objects shall be accomplished, the war ought to cease. Mr. Slevens, of Pennsylvania, objected to the introduction of the resolutions. Mr. Union, of Virginia, asked leave, but Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, objected, to introduce a joint resolution appropriating $10,000 to indemnify loyal citizens of Fairfax county for property destroyed by the troops. After some interesting business-- Mr. Vallandigham gave a notice of his intention to introduce the following bills: A bill to regulate and enforce the writ of habeas corpus, and for the better securing the liberty of the citizen. Also, a bill to enforce the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizured. Also, a bill to secure to the people the right to keep and to bear arms for their defence Also, a bill to prescribe the manner of quartering

, and are hovering in the neighborhood of the prisons to render all the aid and comfort in their power. If it be said that the inhuman pregnancy of the war is only the brutum fulmen of the lower classes, we reply that all the facts of the case prove that with few exceptions it is the universal voice of the North. It has come from the press, from the bar, from the pulpit, and roars as furiously from the Merchants' Exchange as from the Five Points. With the exception of the glorious Vallandigham, Pierce, and some men of lesser note, not one voice has been raised against it; with the exception of one or two papers in New York, and a few in New Hampshire, no newspaper has resisted it. The vilest of the whole ruffian crew, Billy Wilson's murderers and pickpockets, have been eulogized by one of the most eminent ministers of New York, Rev. Dr. Tying; the clergy have been the bitterest and bloodiest denouncers of us; the Christian Associations have themselves led the way in ferocity an

Proceedings of the Federal Congress. Washington, July 30. --The direct tax includes three per cent on the income, and five per cent, on distilled and two on fermented liquors. All Democrats and Southern men opposed the bill, which was passed, however, by 17 majority. Mr. Cox proposed a peace proposition to day in the House, and only 42 votes in its favor could be obtained. Among those who sustained the measure were Messrs.. Cox, Webb, Morris, Nugent, Pendleton, Vallandigham and White, of Ohio; Cravens, Holman, Lase and Voorhies, of Indiana, and Logan, Richardson and Robinson, of Illinois. The Senate adopted an amendment to the tariff bill, which increases the duties ten per cent., and charges ten per cent on the present free list. The amendment was adopted with only seven votes in the negative. In the House, the bill appropriating a million and a quarter of dollars to purchase twelve light-craft steamers, was passed. In the Senate, the bill prohibi

f the Lincoln Government, are as guilty before God of intent to commit the foulest kind of murder as any felon who ever swung from a tree. We do not involve the whole North in the same charge of heartlessness and malicious murder which have been clearly proved upon their leaders. There are men there who have never yet bowed the knee to Baal. There are journals like those of Concord, New Hampshire, Bangor, Maine, like the News and Day Book of New York, and statesmen, like Pierce and Vallandigham, who form bright and noble exceptions to the general delinquency. There are some warm and generous hearts there, tropic flowers growing among the icebergs; but they are few and far between. Perhaps we may account for the general heartlessness manifested in the North by the competitions which are caused by a large population crowding closely on the means of subsistence; by the burdening influence of wealth, when it is not relieved by the influences of education and refinement, upon the h

A petition was presented from six hundred citizens of Niagara county, N. Y., deprecating civil war as leading to disunion, and asking Congress to provide for amending the Constitution, or call immediately a National Convention. A memorial from the Chamber of Commerce of New York upon the tariff was tabled. A bill was passed in relation to the army and volunteers of the United States, and approving the unconstitutional acts of the President. In the Federal House, a resolution of Mr. Vallandigham, referring to a Convention of the States, to amend the Constitution, was referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Calvert introduced a resolution, providing for the appointment of nine members of the House and four of the Senate, to consider and report amendments to the Constitution, which was tabled. Mr. May offered resolutions declaring the Republican party responsible for our national misfortunes, that it is impossible to subjugate the South by arms, and that it is the duty of Co

North had followed the counsels of such men as Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, Ex-Gov. Seymour, of Connecticut, (another true and noble gentleman, who, at the head of a respectable and increasing party, is still standing by the Right,) and Vallandigham, and others, of Ohio, she would still be peaceful, prosperous and powerful. But they and their counsels were treated with contempt, and the red flag of the New York Tribune symbolized the spirit, principles and policy of the Northern majorityoften right, and that when the South preferred the Northern Pierce to the Southern Scott, she acted wisely and bestowed her confidence and her condemnation where both were richly deserved. What a contrast to the course of Pierce, Seymour, Vallandigham, and others, is that of Cushing, Dickinson, Everett, Fillmore, and their associates; what a contrast the public journals of Concord, Bangor, and the New York News and New York Day Book, to those journals which have been scared into the support

[from the Baltimore Exchange, August, 9.] The announcement that a persuade would be given to Messrs. Breckinridge and Vallandigham last evening attracted to the Eutaw House an immense assemblage of persons long before the hour appointed for the serenade. The windows and balcony of the Eutaw were packed with ladies, whilst every available space in the street surrounding the hotel was crowded to excess. Mr. Breckinridge was absent in the early part of the evening, but returned to the hotel. A just God, who rules all nations has our cause in his hands, and before him all despots must sink, cowed and appalled. We have had a day of freedom and liberty, and may God speed the return of it. Mr. Breckinridge here closed, when Mr. Vallandigham was called for, but declined to speak, on account of the disturbance. The crowd lingered around the hotel for some time after, and slowly returned to their homes at a late hour. The action of the vice-police throughout was most disgrac

Further from Europe.News by the steamer Canada. The advices by the steamer Canada are to the 10th inst. We append a telegraphic summary of the news: European political affairs are unimportant. The aspect of American affairs claim undivided attention. The London Times, in an editorial, takes the recent speech of Mr. Vallandigham as evidence of the charges that will be brought against President Lincoln if the South is successful. It says that only a victory by which the stain of Manassas may be effaced, and the South induced to come to terms, can secure the President from the consequences of having begun civil war. The London Globe observes, with regard to the blockade question, that a blockade is a right of war, but by what right, whether of war or peace, can Congress empower the Executive to desist from the blockade, and substitute the levying of official duties on goods about to be landed in territories where that Executive can afford no protection to them

It will beget peace with less actual conflict in arms, as no sooner than the next presidential campaign opens at the North two parties will arise to crush each other — the Democratic or Peace party, and Lincoln's or the Abolition party. It need surprise no one if this precious conflict opens with such men as ex-President Pierce and Vallandigham, on one side, for peace and recognition; and on the other, Lincoln, or McClellan, or Seward, with some deep-dyed individual as Vice President. Already a peace party is forming there, and if the campaign was nearer we should have but little to do South but to keep our army in the field and await the natural result of party spirit. 6th. Every one knows the quick subsidence of any feeling among the Northern people, especially in the large cities. They must have novelty upon novelty. The
