en of the protection of the common law. What protection could the common law give you on that soil, where the bondman has been emancipated ? In this connection he gave illustrations of conflicting opinions in decisions of the common law, showing that the opinion of Lord Stowell conflicted with that of Lord Mansfield, quoted by the gentleman from Kanawha. The eighth section of the Chicago Platform was then read to show how common law was to be administered, by a Federal Judge appointed by Mr. Lincoln.--What protection had we, then, to expect ? It would, like the apples of the Dead Sea, fall to ashes the moment you get it in your grasp. It was said the other day that we didn't want any more territory. Yes; you may have territory enough, but it is territory in the moon, to which you can never get, for you are hedged off by the second section of the Peace Conference propositions. The right of transit is denied to our property.--Every day the mechanics of the North are passing along wi

In regard to the preservation of the status in the Territory of New Mexico, he alluded to the remarks of a distinguished Northern member of the Conference, in connection therewith, and the interpretation of the term which he gave. Mr. Wise asked if that member was or was not a member from Ohio — a member of the present Cabinet — by the name of Chase ? Mr. Tyler replied that that was a disclosure. He declined a direct answer to the question. The law of Mexico had emancipated slavery and substituted peonage; and an emigrant to the territory ceded to the United States now goes there surrounded with all the panoply of liberty.

Mr. Tyler replied that that was a disclosure. He declined a direct answer to the questfor the Crittenden proposition, but accepted the other when that failed.

Called from the quiet and comfort of his home, to meet the fearful crisis impending over the country, he would not now shrink from the labor imposed upon him. After a brief allusion to the part he had taken in the Government of the country, and the emotion with which he had heard in his retirement of the tearing asunder of the beautiful flag which had so long waved in triumph, he spoke of the last words of Washington in warning his countrymen against the formation of sectional parties, which had been disregarded by the abolitionists, and the cloud, at first no bigger than a man's hand, now overshadowed us with gloom.-- The politicians took hold of it, and had succeeded in cutting the ship of State loose from her moorings, and now the fragments were floating in an angry sea, He mourned over it; and when the Legislature called upon him to participate in proceedings for the restoration of the Union, he di

Mr. Summers said he had argued that, taken as a whole, they were an equivalent to, and in some respects better, than the Crittenden propositions. The corresponding sections of the two propositions, touching the Territorial question, were then read, and Mr.Tyler proceeded to draw a comparison between them. The measure suggested by Mr. Crittenden was like the man himself, whom he respected and honored. No concealment by phrases, but open and manly. In regard to the other, he fully agreed with the principle enunciated, of concurrent majorities. But in its present application it would be found inefficient.
