After ate rating tbe Soalbern revean sj-tm, th right of Cabinet mia liters to sit on the floor of Congress, th lengthened ten a re of the Presidential oCcs as improvements oa the Fed. eral Constitution, Ur. Stephens spok as follows upon th ieeae of slavery, confessing that the founders of th Union were hostile to slaver? while th new Confederacy U the bulwark of the system. Ueeaidt Bat aot to b tedious ia enumerating tb nu merone chaagee for tbe better, allow me to allude toon other though last, not least: The new Constitution has pnt at rest. Joreoer, all agitating questions relating to onr peculiar inslkction African slavery as it exists among na the proper sieUtiM of th oecro ia our form of civilisation. This was th immediate cause of the late rupture and present revelation, Jefferson, tn his forecast, had anticipated tbi, as the rock upon which the old Union would split' He was right. "What wns eonj-ctor with him is now a realized fact. But whether he ful'y comprehended the great truth up e which that rock stood and stands, aay be doubted! The prevailing idea entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at tbe tia of th 'formation of tbe bid Constitution, were that th enslavement of the African was in violation of th laws of natnrr; that it was wrong ia principle, socially, morally and politically. It was aa evil they knew nofwell bow to deal with, but the general opinion of th men of that day was that, sons how or other, in th order of Providence, lb institution would be evanescent aad pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in th Constitution, was the prevailing idea at th time. Th Constitution, it is true, secured eTry essentia gnarrante to the institution while it should last, and bene no argument can be justly ased againsttb constitutional, guarraoteea taae sennred because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon th assumption of the equality of races. This was aa error. It was a sandy foundation, and th idea of a Gov-ersoaeat built upon it ; wbea th storm came and tb wind blew, it feLm ., Oar new Government is foanded upon exactly th opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its ewrner-stow rest apon th great trdth that the negro Is not equal to th white man. That Elaverr subordination to tb superior race- ii Shis natural and aormal condition. Applause - in as, oar new uovernmeni, is in nrst is u history of th world based apM this great pbysU esJ, philosophical, aad moral truth. This truth has been slow la th process of its development, like all other truths in the virions departments of science. It has been so even among us. Many who bear me, perhaps, can recollect well that this truth was not generally admitted, even within . their day. Tb errors Of th past generation still clung to many as 1st as twenty; years ago. The at th North who still cling to the errors, with a zeal above knowledge, w justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of th mind; from a defect ia reason tag. It Is aspects of insanity. On of th roost striking characteristics of Insanity, la many instance, is forming correct conclusions from fancied oc erroneous premises Jso with tbe Auti-CUvery Oaarics their conclusions aright, if their premise are. They assume that the negro Is l-l, and baea conclude that h ts ntitled to eusJ criUe;ts and rijhta with th wtlt tnan. 1 their promise were correct, their conclusions wool! ba and jurt j buV. their prm'tjs bsingwron-, tbeir aboi argnneot fails. 1 ra-mallmct moem cf Itrlnr beard a renllemaa from r -.e r.f the IToriisr Cla.tr, of great power and ':r.tv-: anscsoes fa tb Coos of Ccpreeeata- fe. .-.s i-ti"a?erct, titt wcf tb South ' rm'J bn'eofr-";! a'.Uraatdt to yield apoa'thls lf:ccf u m iaponsiU to err bcc?s-'- rsiat a priaelpUia politics t itt srs-s ia tl rs.ca W meclanicx.

It ia apon this, as I hav stated, oar social fabric Is firmly planted; aad 1 cannot permit myself to doubt tha altimata access of a full recognition of this principle throughout th civilixed aad aaligbUaad world. itt ttrvnrt of stirsa. As I hav stated, th traih of this priadpl mar be slow ia development, as all truth ar. acd ever hav ba, in th various branch of science. It was so with lh tofiacitJl announced by Oalilao it waa so with Adam Smith aad bis principlss of political conomy. It was so wita fiarver. and his theory bf th circulation of tb blood. It is stated that aot a sing! cm of th medical Drofesaioa. IivinsT at tb torn of th an nouoeement of th truths mad by him, admitted than, Ifew, they ar umversalir ackawldgd May w not therefor look with i fjoafideac to th altimat naiversal acknowledgement of the truth upon which oar system rests. It is the first Government ever instituted apon principles ia strict confon&tolr to saittr. aad th ordina tion of Providence, ia furnishing tb materials of human society. Many Governments hav been foanded upon th principle of the) eeslav. meat of certain classes : bat th classes thus en slaved were of the same rac and in violation of th laws of natars. Oar system commit bo vi olation of nature's laws. Tb aogro by nature, or by tbe curs against Canaan, is fitted for that condition which b occupies in our system. TLe architect, in th construction of buildings, lays tbe foundation w'th proper material tbe graaite men cornea ine cnci orntroir. a no so osi return of our society i mad of th material fitted by nature for it, aod by cxperieac we know that it is best, not only for th superior, bat for th nferior race, that it should be so. It is, indeed, in conformity with tb ordinance of tb Creator. It is not for ns to inqair into tb wisdom of bis ordinances or to question them. For his own purposes he has made one race to differ with an- o h-r, as he has made one star to differ from another ia loty." : Tbe great objects of humanity are bes. attained. wbea conformed to bis laws and decrees, ia the formation of Governments as well as in all things else. Our Confederacy is founded upon princi ples in strict conformity with the laws. This tone which waa rtjected by the first builder . is becommg the chief stone of th corner m our new edifice. (Applause. I have been aeked what of the future? It has been apprebcr.ded "by some, that we would have arrayed against ns tbe Tiviliced world, t care not wbo vft bow TO any they mar be. when we stand npon tb eternal ptinciplea of trutb, we are obliged end must triumph.

But to piss on: some have propounded tb inquiry, whethr r iLis practicable for as to go on wr.h Cjofrderaey, without further accessions T Have we tbe means and ability to maintain nationality among tbe powers of tb earth? Oa this point I would barely say, that as anxious! as we have been and are, for the Border Slates with institu tions similar with ours, to Join na still we are abundantly able to maintain our position, even if tbey should ultimately make np their minds not to Cast tbeir destiny with ours. That tbey ulti mately will join na, be compelled to do it. is my confident belief, but we can get on very well with out them, even if they should not. tdc atsotaccs or tbb cosfederact Were the next subject of the speaker's remarks1 The taxable property of the Confederate States cannot b less than 22.000,000 000. This. I think, I venture but little in saying, may be ccn sidered as five tira m' r than the colonies pos-sessed at the time tbey achieved their indepeni dence. Georgia alone posseased last year, ac-cordinr; to tb report of our Controller-General, $672,000,000 f taxable property. The debt! of th seven Confederate States sum np la the aggregate less than $18,000,000; while th existing debts of th other of th United State sum np ia tb aggregate th oormosa amount of $174,000,000. This is without taking Into th aecOBBtath heavy city debts, corporation debts aad railroad debts, which press, and will contin ue to press, a heavy incubus upon the resource of those States. : These debts, added to the oth era, make a sum total aot much under $500,090,-000. With such aa area of territory with such an amount of population--with a climate and soil unsurpassed by any on th face of th earth with anch resource already at onr command wiih productions which control th commerce of th world who can entertain any apprehent sinns as to our success, whether others join as or aot? THE" BOBDEB STATES. It is true, I believe, I stst bat th common sentiment, when I declare my earnest desire that the Border State should join as. The differences of opinion that existed among us anterior ta secession, related more to to th policy ia securing that result by co ope rati oa than from any difference upon th altimat security w all looked to in common. The difference of opiaion wer more ia ref erenc to policy thaa principle, aad as Mr. Jefferson saia la his inaugural, ia 1810, after th heated contest preceding hi election, there might be difference ia opinion without differ eoces on principle and that all, to om extent. had been Federalist aad all Republican so it may bow b said to ns, that whatever diitereaee of - opinioa a to tn best pobcg ia having a co operation with onr border sister Slav States, if th worst com to th worst) teat aa w wer all co-operalioa ists, w ar now all for indspendsnce. whether they com or aot. lUwttaawd appla&a. J la this coaactsoa I tak this oceaaioa to stale that I was not without grav and serious appr- haosioo, that if th wont cam to th trorst,and cutliog loo from tb old Uovernmeni won 14 be th only remedy for onr safety aad Mcurity, it wouia o ausnuea vua ssaca - aaucw nnva turn thaa it has been as jet.

Load applause. 8uch ar som of th glimp of th futar as I catch them. As to whether we shall hav war wlta Otiir late confederates, or whether all matters df differ oc between oa shall b amicably settled, t can only say that the prospect for a peaceful adjust meat is belter, so far as I am imformed, thaa it has been. ; - The proepect of war is at least not so threat emng as it has been. To idea or coercion shadowed forth ia President Lincoln's Inaugural seems not to. be followed ap tha far as vigorous ly as was expected. Fort Sumter, it is believed. will soon be evacuated. What course will be pursued towards Fort Pickens and tb other fort oa tb Golf, is not so well nderstood. It is greatly to be desired that all of them should be surrendered. Our object is ffezee, not oal with the North, but with the world. All matters rela ting to tbe publio property, publi liabilities of tb Union when we wer members of it. we ar ready and willing to adjust and settle, apon th principles or right, equality aod good faith. War can o oi no more oeneui to m iorcn tnaa 10 V . . . I T . V . us. Th idea of coercing as, or of ubjaratins' us, is utterly prepoetarons. Whether th iaten- tioa of vaeaattog Fort Santer is to b received as aa vidac of a desire for a peaceful solution of our dif5ool.ies with th United State, or the result of necessity, I am aot prepared to say. I would fain hop the former. Rumors ara afloat, however, that it is tbe result of necessity. All I can say to yon, therefore, on that point, ia keep your armor bright aad your powder dry. fEntho siastie applause. The surest way to secure peace, is to show your ability to maintain your rights. Tb principles and iiosition of th present Administration of th United State tb Bepablican party pres-sent on pnaaling questions. White it is a fixed pried pi with them never to allow tha in or of a foot of slave Territory, they seem to be equally determined not to part with aa inch "of th accursed o(LH Notwithstanding their cJassor against th iasUtatioo, they mm to be equally opposed to getting more, or letting go hat they have goc -Tbey wer radyj 'tfgbt oa th accession of Texas, and they ar equally ready to fight bow on her secession. Why is this? Bjw can this strange para4ox be account, ad for? There seems to b but on rationales j lotion, and that is, notwithstanding their profe sioo or humanity, tbey ar disinclined to give np th benefits tbey derive from lava labor. Tbeir philaaUirophr yield to their interest. Tb idea of enforcing tb law baa bat oa object, and that is a coltocUon of th taxes raised by slave labor toaswell the fund necessary to meet their heavy appropriations. The spoil is what they are after, though they corn . from the labor of the slave. Continued applause. He alluded to the difficulties and embarrass-ments which seemed to surround the question of a peaceful solution of tha controversy with the old Government, llow can it be done? i per plexing maay minds. Tb President seem to think that he cannot recognize our independence, nor can te, with and by the advic of the Seta- ate, do so. The Constitution make no such provulon. A general CootetitltJO cf all the States has been suggested by soma. Without proposing to sol to the difficulty, ha barely made the following suggestion: That aa th admission of States by Congress nnder tbe Constitution was an act of legislation, and in the aature of a contract or compact between tbaStaies admitted aod th others admitting, why should not this eon tract or compact be regarded a of like character with all other civil contracts liable to bo rescinded by mutual a-greement of both parties? Th secefling State bar rescinded it oa their part. Why cannot the whol qaestton b settled, if th North desire peace, simply by the Congress, ia both branches, with tb coDcnrreo.1 of th President, giving tbeir consent to th separation, and a recognition of oar independence! This h merely offered as a suggestion, a on of th way ia which it might b do. With tfaocn less Violence- to con-strnctioos bf th Constitution thaa toatty other acts of that Government. Applause, The difficulty has to be'eolved ia some way or other this may be regarded as a fixed fact. In olden times th oliv branch was considered th mbln of peace. W will send to tb nations of th earth another aad far more potea tial emblem of th am--tb Cotton Plant. .. If, said he, we ar trn to ourselves,' trn to oar cause, true to oar destiny, true to our high mission, ia preeenling to th world th highest type of civilisation ever exhibited by man, there will b found tn our lexicon ao such word as fail.
