(Mature, from tbe fact that no provision whatev er, prescribing either tbe terms or manner of such sale, or for any appraisement . of the prop. er'J. or guarding ux e.ny way tbe. rights of the public, or tha atockholders are embraced in the law. : li U wbollj silent on the subject of a sale aad the axistinf remedies as to- tha sale of neg. lacted pmpert, it most ba admiuedara taappli. cable to the aaL of railroads. . . 1$ it to ba presomed that tba Legislatora in-tended to gi?a tba bigb power, by a general law to sell all tbe railroads with their franchises in lie State, which might ba under mortgage, withcon-ditionj brokeot wkltout presxrifcicg a tafo aad proper mode of both appraisement and sale: and without the moat careful and zealous protection to all the vast interest, both public and private, involved? Such presumption is repelled by the nature of the subject matter the spirit and terms of the act of 1843, and the subsequent legislation relerred to. It follows as a leal consequence to the fore gng coiicluiiouai, lhU when the Company in ibid case undurtouk to mortgage tbe road and iia trHtichiics, they acted without authority of uw to i tint extent, i hs had power to inn j gnge the income of the C'jiupany oued iode pendent of the road -and frati' lii-es, but no mote, itvl no content ike parlies could or can ai l this dried of power. .

When ihe insurrection had commenced would be have in terfered to arrest its progress; or if so, would be not have waited until it was too late? Is this the man whom we are to place in the chair once fill' ed by Washington? As well have Benedict Ar nold at ihe bead of oar armies in tha Revolution Oh! if that chair, once filled br the Father of his Country, were desecrated bj Williara U.

And if to add to the horror of sach a scene, it was tbe soil of bis own Vir ginia which was to ba bathed in the blood of her children, with the acquiescence of a Senator from New York and bis successor, in that event, to the Presidency of the TJaion. Is Jt from New York tba blow should come, npon tba banks of whose noble Hudson, Washington detected tba traitor Arnold, and thus saved ber from impend isg ruiu?

' : Virginia that stood by New York throughout the war of th revolution, and poared ont the life-blood of her sons upon her soil in defence of our common Ji ber ties, Virginia who gave hr own great sou, her own Washington, for her and our redemption, that same Virginia whose smil-iog homes and peaceful villages were about to be desolated by civil and terrile war, instigated ly Brown, the leader, and a New York Senator bears fully developed the bloody scheme, and be silent ly acquiesces without rebuke or censare, lie becomes an accessory before the fact, a goilty accomplice, at least in moral treason. It is barely possible thai he may have escaped the res poo si bility to a legal tribunal; but in the foram of conscience, in the eyes of God and of his country, he is a convict,, accessory, and accomplice. Which is most .guilty, Brown who perpetrates the act and forfeits his life as a consequence, or the wretched man who hears of the approaching insurrection with all its expected horrors, and flies from his country with no warning note of the im pending disaster? . - Is this the "irrepressible conflict?? Is this the bai.quet of blood to which Mr. Seward inviied his countrymen nt Rochester, having heard of the approaching storm iu May, lb38, fully detailed 'in i,1V its bearings?' Was this the irrepressib'e conflict foreshadowed by him a few months after wards in his atrocious aud Ireaspnahle phillipic against Virginia and other sister Sta'es of the South? Did he then feel no remorse for the ap proaching disaster? Did the opening graves of the coming insurrection, of which he was fully informed, make no appeal to his sympathy? Did. the bloody corses of his murdered countrymen ri.se from their shrouds ip no fearful array Lefore him? Did the mortal, agony of sisters, wives, mothers and daughters, doomed to a worse than .living death, fail to: reach his seared and stony hor-om? .; Did helpless infancy, and tottering ai;e awakeii in) emotions aud stimulate no tli'unsot warning or of succor? --; .."-.

H ia provided, that ilie Senators i-ball be bouud by oath or afnrmatioii to support this Co'istittition." Mr. Seward had taken the I oath, and what wasythat obligatioi ? For this we must look to the provisions of the Conslttu tiou itself. We enumerate a few of thete provisions which, with so much solemnity, Mr: Seward bavi fw-crn to support. Ilis duties were to give his aid to "an pyrss insurrecnons aiid repel iii-vasioiis;' to punish' ."treason" and traitor's, or ihose "givitiii them aid and comfr.rt "'".to cause to I e delivered np fugitives "charged in any State Ui'b treasoii. feoi;y, or other crimes,". all fugitives, from "service or labor;' to "'protect each of thein (the Slates) against invasion," and also "a-gaittst domestic violence."". .'These were ome ol "the-"' nties extire,sly"dsit;nated in the C"iistitu-lion developed, in so many words upon Mr. Seward as a Senator, and each and all cf which he linn swuni to per.orm. ana the violation ot each Hna ul) (jf !fe(Mn Wf uvaV(,A in bis oeo,,; "be President is "to preserve, protect and defend the!
