Mr. Linton reported back the bill to incorporate tin Cincinnati, Montgomery, Hopktutville, Rocliistornud CUrkeville Macadamized Turnpiko Company, with im amendment which was agreed to, una Hie lull painted Mr. Eckley, from the committee on the Jimiciury reported buck the bill to amend tho Ilotnrsttad Exemption Law, with an ameiulmeut. Thin bill requires six monihi' notice lo bo given by every person before hit homestead becomes exempt bom exe cution. Mr. Cunningham thought the bill a virtual repeal the law. Mr. EekloT snid the Exemption Law was a copy ol the New York law, and it had been found neceuiy j in that State tu have an amendment to that law. Tins bill was, at near as he could remember, a copy of that amendment. Messrs. Vhial and Liu ton advocated the bill, nnd Mesarst Myers and Simpson opposed it, Mr, Bruckley moved its iudt-linite postponement. Mr. Bee son hoped the. bill would not be posiNined-If any person wished his homestead to bo exempted, this bill permitted him to to do. If ho wishes tu extend his credit lo the full amount of his properly, by this bill he could do it. It allowed every person the liberty to do as he wished. Mr. Myers said ho did not wish to put it in the pow r of any man, to strip Id family ol a cover nud a home. Ho wished the home of a Imnily to be beyond the rench of the misfortunes aud improvidences of its 1 head, without tho trouble uf giving the notice this hill required. v-asy Mr. Linton thought no honest person would wnit t uold hit property exempt from l is creditors and if that was the fact, Iho Home dead Exemption Law was a law for the benefit of rogues, Mr. Griper said the law, by securing a homo to the family, independent of the industry and molality of the head, took away one inducement tu industry and morality. Agnin, the creditor might be as poor us the debtor, and the law should not operate to the bru-elit of the one, aud the injury of the ulber. He tlintilit tho person who would avail himxelf uf this law, should make a public record uf the fact. Mr. Bruckley thought there was nn important clause which had been ovetlooKed in this discussion. He ro ferrad to indorsers, who might be as woiihy nnd he duBtrinus as any others, and yet by vieldinii In the so licitations of friends, mi-ht be stripped ol homo and ion urn, exe-pi mr mi mw. i Mr. Li'iloii advocated the bill and Mr. Walker opposed it. The question on indefinite postponement wits then taken aud lost ayes 11, nnei 11. The question then being on engrossing Iho hill, Mr. Pnyue said ho wis in favor of tho HomesteadEv-mp-lion law as passed, and should vote for tioiliiug lo im pair ils etlect. He was in doubt whether the debtor portion of community were in favor of this law, us originally passed, fhis amendment whs merely to equalisi-i is operation, and require n police of intention to claim its advantages. If a person was unwilling to do as much as that, he did not think it bet to ace a homestead upon him. A tier tome remarks from Mr, Walker ii opposition to the bill, Mr. Lawrence moved the reference uf the hill tn the the commit lee nn the Judiciary. Mr. Eckl-y defeuded the hill. It merely provided SKaiust fraud. The original hill he hnd voted for in all lis singes, and now was opposed tu its repeal.

The Gover-ifl vcral of the heads of Departments, the members $ Legislature, with their Clerks, Sergeant-at Arms, uporters, &c., the City Councils of Columbus and Cincinnati, several other distinguished citizens, and last, though by no meant least, the members of ihe Press from the Capital, composed this visiting pat ty. At tho time of starling, the rutn poured down iu tor-; runts, but, safe within ihe splendid curs, the company leeded not the storm, and the noble Iron Horse, that 1 snorted iu our van, started off with itt precious d, amid the roar of cannon, and the shouts of the multitude that had assembled to witness our departure. Away we sped to the fur off North, to the shores of Luke Erie. orlhingtou was passed. At iho Dc In- war ktalion we took iu Judge Williams mid some oth- Cardington was reached, the first village on the line. In duo time we arrived nt Shelby, where the road it crossed by tho Mansfield, Mb Vernon, New ark, and Sandusky road, and where tho city authori ties ol Cleveland, had provided a bounteous and excellent dinner for the company. The rush ol four or live hundred persons on such on occasion, the incidents attendant thereon ore always amusing, and were by no means lucking here. In duo time we started ngain, au I without any acci dent or delay arrived ut Cleveland, at about half past five P. M. The approach tfstho city was heralded by the discharge uf cntiuou, ntid ihe prolonged ndghing i! our Iron Horse. The sight was magnificent and toul-Htirring. The hill sides, near the railroad entrance, the ouse tops, were covered with multitudes ol people, all watching with intense interest the uirivul of tin H y guests. When the tram had passed tlm valley ot the Cuyahoga, had crossed the bridge, und hud entered amid that dense ninis of human hemes, the shouts ol welcome made tho welkiu ring nguin. Noihing could he finer or more hearty than our reception. The com mittee of arrangements hnd previously assigned the quests to the several public Houses that grace und or- uaincnt Uaa A4lyjuul tuifusfle in abuuduiiow um in attendance to take us to our homes. On the morning of Saturday, the glorious, the ever memorable 2 d, the public ceremonies connected with the reception were to tuko place. The military, the hro companies, ihe sailors, and tho cilixens geiierully, were curly on the move. Superior street, upou which tho public houses are Mluuttd, und tho up town busi uess is mostly done, it one of the most splendid ttreelt in tho Union. Il it 120 feet wide; about seventy (act of the centre of which it planked over, making it n lightful place, both fur business and pleasun Ou this morning it was the scene uf one of the fim tt i splay t we over witnessed. The piocesaion was formed under the direction of Gen. Satiford, who dis- harged the duties ul his post with excellent (nolo nnd judgment, and if all things in his department did not go just as he designed they should go, nobody outside of his councils knew it. Tho artillery cunipuniet, three beautiful companies of infantry, several fu e companies in lull uniform, and with their engines in splendid con- ditinn, a full ringed vessel, in which were several jol ly nnd he arty looking tars, all these, marshaled inlhal magnificent street, with multitudes of citizens on the side walks, and in and on the houses, made u display ol which Cleveland may well be proud, and which made us proud of our Slate The procession halted in front of the Wcddell, where the tiovjitior and suite were received. The other guests weru received at the American, and the whole then proceeded tu the Public Squnro in ft out of the Court House, where airaiigeiucuts hud bien made for tho tereptlon. The vast enclosure was soon filled, and ery house top, und even tree top was occupied. The ceremonies of reception, iu detail, will be found in another column. The speech of the Mayor was in Bond taste, and delivered in excellent stylo. Tho re sponse of Speaker Convert was an eloquent ami hap py ellort, and was delivered in a clear and distinct manner. The speeches nf Starkweather, of Alfie Kelly, of tho Governor, of Senator Payne, uf Geo. E, Pogh, of Mr. Prentiss, &c, were all appropriate, and were well received. The music of ihe several band was excellent i iu short the whole reception was ad mirable, and elicited the warmest compliments from the pleased and giatihed guests. It was a great. proud day lor Cleveland, and great ly, and proudly, and nobly did she respond to it. The memory of it will not toon pust away. In every county of the Slate will he at least ont man of influence and character tu tell of tho great things of thisday, and re pint iho praise that on that occasion Ml from the willing bps ol ull. After the ceremonies uf reception, the Cleveland and Pittsburg liud road Company invited tho city guests lu a Irip ou their rond as tarns Hudson, twenty. four mile. This was accepted, and about noon tho curs sturhd from lha shorn uf V ulako. Tho road being new and the heavy rains having softened Ihe ground, the cars could not safely make rapid speed, und It was four o'clock before wu arrived at Hudson, llni it a very pleasant illnee and it the seat of the Western Reserve College. After partaking uf the hospitalities of the place, (iu rather irregular order we confess,) the tram started un ils return. The bud condition of Ihe n ad fioin heavy mitis caused iho tender of tho Locomotive lo getofl the track, which detained us for some time, and the company did nut set back to Cleveland till 0 o'clock iu the evening. Some of tho company thought themselves rather bored by the trip, but tho best of Heeling prevailed thiotiglnmt. The Supper at tho Wcddell wusasplendid ahYir.aud was highly creditablo to tho manngors of that House. It was enjoyed by the gnosis and ninny ot tlio citizens of Cleveland lu a way that did credit to thctr tastes also. On Sunday tho most of tho visitors attended Divine Service at Dr. Aikin'i Church, whore they Ibtcned tu a most eloquent, profouud aud appropriate discourse, on thu leiidouciei of ihe improvements of the day on the great moral ttttil religious questions that are nlso nmrkinii tho present era.

Again the Cannon boomed forth its thunder, thu parting salutation was given ntid wo were on our way to the Capital. At Shelby the bounty of the city had preceded us and hud prepared a dinner worthy ;he giver and tho occasion. When th- repast was over our excellent friend Greiner was loudly called on for a song. Soon we saw his honest face elevated above those around him.

Slavery we take it, it intrinsically repulsive and dis gusting. The hiiinnu heart, nut schooled by hmg prac tice to loleratu it, instinctively revolts against it. It never yet has been shown how slaveiy could have a loti nd at ion in any prmciploof natural justice It is not likely therefore, that a feeling of di-1 ko and opposition will ever die until slavery dies ; the feeling will remain impendent upon circumstances for greater or lestactiv- ty higher or lower degree! of development. The proposition to annex Texas, followed by a war and vast acquisition of territory, to be made free or sluvo territory, necessarily rendered slavery for the lime being, a political question. Every man was invi led tu vote upon il, and it presented a political issue, a( listmct as any ott er, and, in ill nature of Iho case, more absorbing thau uny other. It presented precise ly that admixture nf interest, religion, moruls, politic and ambition most likely tu unhinge ihe judgments of men. The student nt history could have foretold, as many did foretell, the snleof nttairt which resulted; how those least capable ot advising would most seek toad iset li w impetuosity would be mistaken fur latent ; how extravagance would seem to .tself lo beconisteu ryi how temper and interest Would bo mistaken for principle! noise for courage, and how sober judgment would apju'ar tamo and worthless) how, when much was nt stnke, and so many questions growing out of the main issue, upon which tersotia might naturally and honestly difler, men Won Id become jealous of tri ties, and lose confidence in each other without cause, until ihe cohesive power uf government nnd society seemed nearly lost. The territorial questions being now settled, tho qui tiouol slavery, as a political question, Is necessarily less dixtiuct and presting. The field for political action in repaid toil is necessarily narrowed mid limited. Hi' now no broader than it has beeu ever since the formation of the constitution. The great deep of public opinion has been too profoundly moved by the wind ol controversy tn become calm in a moment, hut the storm is over, ntid h as would wish lu do good in their day ami gener niton, must looK ahead, and p re i hi re lor duty. huvo supposed a few calm sueestluns nn th gencru men " poniiim m imu mjuii uiit RiiKjeci in smverv. niieht now be neither uiiatreptnlite nor mefest. About twenty years ago, abolition sochliia were or ganiztd iu the tree States. Their avowed purposo was thu immediate am) unconditional abolition of slavery in the United States their menus of accomplishing that result, wus " mural sua-ion," The persons enca ged iu it wore for the most part pious and sincere men, not accustomed lu topics uf that magnitude, and prone tn excitement, i tiey csiaotixheu a lew presses ami went nhuitt lecturing.

This gavo the lecturers ntid orators notoriety nd come- piencej they leli some consciousness of martyrdom. Vheir rijilit were invaded, and they could enlist sym pathy! tin y found a few followers in almost every lo cality, but not many anywhere. Their discussion, front the fust were characterized hy dtstasiefiil epithets und modes uf procedure. 1' secutiou accustomed ihem to brave public opinion, and iu many cases unsettled their characters. They became embittered, denunciatory, and took pride in things which other people reinrib d as indecorum. Not a few became open infidels avowed enemies tn religion and government. Some would not cut their beards or hair, and fell victims to tnM manners ntid odd conceits. It was obvious enough that no very large amount of moral suasion would happen in this way. Next followed n political organisation, called the Liberty Party." The ballot box was invoked. They stood upon the idea thnt tlivnry was tho greatest evil in (he country this wu their facts their inference was, aether t consequently that slavery was the "para mount" question, before which all others were hndg- uificaiit. The inference was much too broad to be supported by their fact, but it hud another imiierlec -ion. The blacks wero only a few, aud the whites many ; by making the rightsof the blacks " paramount," uiey commuted Iho same fault they complained ot, that of subordinating one cluss to another. Equality wot their theory, but they made the blacks " paramount" to the whites the minority paramount to tho majority. There was no probability of their accomplishing agrcatdeul with such au error the result of dwelling too intently upon a tingle idea. The Free Soil organization followed, and tpreada wider table. They made a sortof platform at HuHalo, us ihuy thought, embracing principles to administer the government upon. They appeared to intend to take nnd tu reject a portion uf the creed of each of the old parlies, hut they balanced their words ho nicely, it was impossible lor the most partlo know what iheyodopi-rdaud what they rejected. It was, however, distinct on a few points, und they nominated u candidate for the Presidency who never food ou iheir platform, and refused to como square up to it. Ho wrote words all about it, but come upon the platform he never would. He was too old to pled;;o himself to stand on thin air. Tho ticket got no elec-tnnl vote, but the movement threw a few members into the State Legislature of Ohio. One principal dogma of the Freesoil party wus th;it no conscientious anit slavery man could vote for tho Presidential candidate of either uf the old parties, or for any man for any office who would voto for either of said candidates. This idea lasted through the canvass of 1818; bn in ho session of tho Ohio Leuilaturo that followed if, produced difficulties. Tho Freesuilers were few, and if l hey refused (o vote for others, others would refine to vole for thorn. Their former idea was therefore modified, to mean thnt they could not conscientiously vole lor any body elso without a consideration. Ever sii,ce then, iu Ohio and elsewhere, they have been voting fur and against others for a consideration, eon-sei tnee not allowing it to he done without. Most ot tlm leaders in the Freesoil movement have ascertained that they could do a great deal for liberty by joining the Democratic party, and being put into oflice. Their idea of the necessity for a third party organiza tion, was practically abandoned in less than a year allot it was proclaimed. Thu first frosl killed il. Oilier parti of the Buffalo platform uro now to bo found only in nld newspaper files; it in not spoken of in po Hies by friend or foo as a live thing. We have no moro lectures nbout iho immediate abolition ol slavery, and very litile oboiit ihe old phraseology of " p irumonut idea.' Those formulas have become obsolete. Tho old organizations have merged themselvet, lor the most part in politics, and become vagrant over the surface of utr,iirs,without cohesion or purpose. Du'ior llaily edits a very readable paper, " dedicated to freedom," hut hat no plan, or if ho hnt n phut, no pat y to adopt it. He lays himself, that anti-slavery me; i meaning those who have funned distinct organizations ni such ore in great dancer of losing; all the odiitntages they have gained; und he stoutly begs iu'ii lo raliy, but duet riot tell them huw. Gerrit Smith denounces Doctor Daily, and does not believe him to oo a true anii-iluvery man. Garrison regards our constitution as a lenoue with wickedness, and con sequently, dedicate! himself to the cause of treason. Oth -rs pretend to acknowledge allegiance tn the con stitution, but insist on construing it in a novel and in-genions manner.

The Texas, am' mote recent territorial questions, gaveiln-m niore f.i vnrahle opioriuiiiiie than are likely to occur ngain, but it I as nuve-r yet happened that any one measure ol theirs has beeu adopted, imr that any State has given ils asieut lo their plju.s. Wilberforce nnd C'urkson, ut Ihe enu ol twenty years, hnd secured hlrinir.'tit Iowa gains the slave trade, m.d abolished slavery iu ihe llriusli West Indies. Willi the benefit of their urgu-me;itsnnd example, and of tie! general progress oftn-liliteuiiii-ut, our abolitionists find themselves nt the nd of twenty years no furl her abend than when they stared, with opinions and feelings among theum-lves so j uigled, diverse, and nut of tune, that they are morally certain to get uo further. Wo do not say this to inji.ro their feelings, or bring them into ridicule, but bee use tlio fact is so, mid bocntiso it seems tu us a resi It which ought to beget sober and dispassionate retl clion. The liict is so. Havo they really done no harm T To suy tho least, they have spent much time and mouey without results. b it what has been the eflect in politics generally t It h is boon to make it dangerous to profess anti-slavery sen iiuunts in any nmro temperate mode thm their own j because those who did so were iu danger of be iug mistaken and supposed to be uf ihem, consequent. ly were in danger of losing caste with the majority of the country. In Congress their measures have always bee i extreme, such as at the time stood no chance, and they have oi-nerally refused to sun port more tiiodrnitH me itures. Thus more mild and moderate men cuincd no I tvnr with them for atlemptiuo to assist, while Ihey lost mvor eisewnere by being identified with them. It I, is happened that with t.venty yearadisrtisshm.nnd ' a ry ft cue ml clamor on the subject of slavery, ihe rec ni votes in Congress are not more sitisfaclory lo ala litionistt thnuihu vote on the Missouri Compromise. Taking Iheir own account of iho matter, they have lost everything they contended for, and if tin y till ihe irntli, the result could not have been worse, hud nn such thing as an abolitionist oyer beeu heard of. Out of Congress we believe no law bearing upon tho web fan of slaves hat been made more favornble to the slaves, while a great many have been made morestrin- gei,i,uiu.er a belief or pretence of danger. There has bom another result. They have scouted tlio idea that there wero any real opponent! nf slavery in the five Stniet except themselves, and have named alt such as lid not agreu with them, pro-sl ivrry men. Thus so far as their testimony goes, they have made the world liehove that there an- but few mil anti-slavery men in tin country, anil those few sadly addicted lo unclnrl- tab'eness and bitterness of spuit t in short that a large maturity of all tho people of thu free H'ntOH are pro-sis, ery in sentiment. Their luiidaineutal idu that is, opposition to slavery which is a true and good one, has llius been made au instrument uf mischief. They ha- o mailo the mistake which all men make who Mart ou with the belief that there is only one ulunble idea or tning tu tho world, and their own judgment is the only standard of merit. Their protecis have initenr- nedj they have showered a gnat deal of unmeiited reproach upon oiliors, and surrendered themselves to um omfortnblu distrusts and jealousies toward their lell w men.

Mere sen- oioim legacy to ull man kind always ruuuiu a hulJow- tiuieut has accomplished lit'lo in this world, except when following in the train of commerce und the arts. Slavery was ubolUhed in Now England, not by any spasmodic uuti-sluverv action, but bv the rinenina of events. It may be so ill other parts uf iho Union.

In alluding to the periods of progress in ages pant, he observed that it had been hy advancements so slow thutn century must needs elapse, to mark the progress which had been made ; that the Methuselah of the olden times, und iiuho age ol nine hundred years, had seen jess of improvement in his ruce, tliun ihe boy of our in.e, at the age of fifteen.

There ts no telling what a difference it makes with n town to get nu net of incorporation, and be called " City." Tilliu is the latest add most striking instance of thu kind. Its great men nro ray great. Its newspapers are famous for the latest ami must accurate news. It is fast getting all thu accomplishment, and we fear, ail the vices of metropolitan life. Thitlutter clause we infer from the fact that one of her eminent citizens wns arrested on the late trip to Clcvelund, for stealing tkt traveling bag of a Senator ! But we commenced this paragraph to notice the receipt of a new agricultural woik just issued from that cily. It is called " The Ohio Agriculturist," and it "edited and published by Dr. Sprago." It is a very neatly priutt d nnd covered pamphlet of 32 pages, lo be ismed monthly at ene dollar per year. This number ppears to be well tilled with erticbsof interest, most ly oelcctid. We can hardly prophecy the result of such an enterprise, though we cannot full to wish it success. Wu havo already two popular and wellet-tablit-hcd agricultural papt ts in this city, and if they can be well sustained our farming interests will do quite as much as we expected. The Ohio Agricultur ist is printid at tho ( Hire ol A. Laubach. contents. Are we, then fore, lo give tip all opposition to the w-sdoip and worth of the fi lers ul the Suite slavery? We hope nut; but seeing what means have hilled, let us adopt others more likely to enlist the np-probation uf men int ro likely at least to preseive it ir owu hearts from unchristian animosities. Let us not ci use tu work out tho redemption of our hnt) from so gieat an evil, but rely less ou loud talk nnd more ii-toti tin divine agencies of charily and love. It is ditlicult. sis reading hisiury, to resist au imprcsMou that great e. il ur great blessings are seldom bestowed upon nations, hut for some wise desigmi, only revealed from the depths ot infinite wisdom hy the coming on ol lime. For what pursue human slavery wns allowed lo In-leu its odious fangs upon the only countiy in the world governed by democratic sentiments and republican In siitulions, does not appear. That purtmse may be tho colouiiilian and eln istinu- it diou of besotted Africa, It may ho iu the f dim sb of time to cover those heathen shores with republican in stimtioiis like our own. Meanwhile let us not forget, that sn far as our duty is involved, it cannot be either tn innkeoursev's or our neighbors miserable.

Mr. Linton reported back the bill to incorporate tin Cincinnati, Montgomery, Hopktutville, Rocliistornud CUrkeville Macadamized Turnpiko Company, with im amendment which was agreed to, una Hie lull painted Mr. Eckley, from the committee on the Jimiciury reported buck the bill to amend tho Ilotnrsttad Exemption Law, with an ameiulmeut. Thin bill requires six monihi' notice lo bo given by every person before hit homestead becomes exempt bom exe cution. Mr. Cunningham thought the bill a virtual repeal the law. Mr. EekloT snid the Exemption Law was a copy ol the New York law, and it had been found neceuiy j in that State tu have an amendment to that law. Tins bill was, at near as he could remember, a copy of that amendment. Messrs. Vhial and Liu ton advocated the bill, nnd Mesarst Myers and Simpson opposed it, Mr, Bruckley moved its iudt-linite postponement. Mr. Bee son hoped the. bill would not be posiNined-If any person wished his homestead to bo exempted, this bill permitted him to to do. If ho wishes tu extend his credit lo the full amount of his properly, by this bill he could do it. It allowed every person the liberty to do as he wished. Mr. Myers said ho did not wish to put it in the pow r of any man, to strip Id family ol a cover nud a home. Ho wished the home of a Imnily to be beyond the rench of the misfortunes aud improvidences of its 1 head, without tho trouble uf giving the notice this hill required. v-asy Mr. Linton thought no honest person would wnit t uold hit property exempt from l is creditors and if that was the fact, Iho Home dead Exemption Law was a law for the benefit of rogues, Mr. Griper said the law, by securing a homo to the family, independent of the industry and molality of the head, took away one inducement tu industry and morality. Agnin, the creditor might be as poor us the debtor, and the law should not operate to the bru-elit of the one, aud the injury of the ulber. He tlintilit tho person who would avail himxelf uf this law, should make a public record uf the fact. Mr. Bruckley thought there was nn important clause which had been ovetlooKed in this discussion. He ro ferrad to indorsers, who might be as woiihy nnd he duBtrinus as any others, and yet by vieldinii In the so licitations of friends, mi-ht be stripped ol homo and ion urn, exe-pi mr mi mw. i Mr. Li'iloii advocated the bill and Mr. Walker opposed it. The question on indefinite postponement wits then taken aud lost ayes 11, nnei 11. The question then being on engrossing Iho hill, Mr. Pnyue said ho wis in favor of tho HomesteadEv-mp-lion law as passed, and should vote for tioiliiug lo im pair ils etlect. He was in doubt whether the debtor portion of community were in favor of this law, us originally passed, fhis amendment whs merely to equalisi-i is operation, and require n police of intention to claim its advantages. If a person was unwilling to do as much as that, he did not think it bet to ace a homestead upon him. A tier tome remarks from Mr, Walker ii opposition to the bill, Mr. Lawrence moved the reference uf the hill tn the the commit lee nn the Judiciary. Mr. Eckl-y defeuded the hill. It merely provided SKaiust fraud. The original hill he hnd voted for in all lis singes, and now was opposed tu its repeal.

At tho time of starling, the rutn poured down iu tor-; runts, but, safe within ihe splendid curs, the company leeded not the storm, and the noble Iron Horse, that 1 snorted iu our van, started off with itt precious d, amid the roar of cannon, and the shouts of the multitude that had assembled to witness our departure.

In duo time we arrived nt Shelby, where the road it crossed by tho Mansfield, Mb Vernon, New ark, and Sandusky road, and where tho city authori ties ol Cleveland, had provided a bounteous and excellent dinner for the company. The rush ol four or live hundred persons on such on occasion, the incidents attendant thereon ore always amusing, and were by no means lucking here. In duo time we started ngain, au I without any acci dent or delay arrived ut Cleveland, at about half past five P. M. The approach tfstho city was heralded by the discharge uf cntiuou, ntid ihe prolonged ndghing i! our Iron Horse. The sight was magnificent and toul-Htirring. The hill sides, near the railroad entrance, the ouse tops, were covered with multitudes ol people, all watching with intense interest the uirivul of tin H y guests. When the tram had passed tlm valley ot the Cuyahoga, had crossed the bridge, und hud entered amid that dense ninis of human hemes, the shouts ol welcome made tho welkiu ring nguin. Noihing could he finer or more hearty than our reception. The com mittee of arrangements hnd previously assigned the quests to the several public Houses that grace und or- uaincnt Uaa A4lyjuul tuifusfle in abuuduiiow um in attendance to take us to our homes. On the morning of Saturday, the glorious, the ever memorable 2 d, the public ceremonies connected with the reception were to tuko place. The military, the hro companies, ihe sailors, and tho cilixens geiierully, were curly on the move.

The piocesaion was formed under the direction of Gen.

The other guests weru received at the American, and the whole then proceeded tu the Public Squnro in ft out of the Court House, where airaiigeiucuts hud bien made for tho tereptlon. The vast enclosure was soon filled, and ery house top, und even tree top was occupied. The ceremonies of reception, iu detail, will be found in another column. The speech of the Mayor was in Bond taste, and delivered in excellent stylo. Tho re sponse of Speaker Convert was an eloquent ami hap py ellort, and was delivered in a clear and distinct manner. The speeches nf Starkweather, of Alfie Kelly, of tho Governor, of Senator Payne, uf Geo. E, Pogh, of Mr. Prentiss, &c, were all appropriate, and were well received. The music of ihe several band was excellent i iu short the whole reception was ad mirable, and elicited the warmest compliments from the pleased and giatihed guests. It was a great. proud day lor Cleveland, and great ly, and proudly, and nobly did she respond to it. The memory of it will not toon pust away. In every county of the Slate will he at least ont man of influence and character tu tell of tho great things of thisday, and re pint iho praise that on that occasion Ml from the willing bps ol ull. After the ceremonies uf reception, the Cleveland and Pittsburg liud road Company invited tho city guests lu a Irip ou their rond as tarns Hudson, twenty. four mile. This was accepted, and about noon tho curs sturhd from lha shorn uf V ulako. Tho road being new and the heavy rains having softened Ihe ground, the cars could not safely make rapid speed, und It was four o'clock before wu arrived at Hudson, llni it a very pleasant illnee and it the seat of the Western Reserve College. After partaking uf the hospitalities of the place, (iu rather irregular order we confess,) the tram started un ils return. The bud condition of Ihe n ad fioin heavy mitis caused iho tender of tho Locomotive lo getofl the track, which detained us for some time, and the company did nut set back to Cleveland till 0 o'clock iu the evening. Some of tho company thought themselves rather bored by the trip, but tho best of Heeling prevailed thiotiglnmt. The Supper at tho Wcddell wusasplendid ahYir.aud was highly creditablo to tho manngors of that House. It was enjoyed by the gnosis and ninny ot tlio citizens of Cleveland lu a way that did credit to thctr tastes also.

Slavery we take it, it intrinsically repulsive and dis gusting. The hiiinnu heart, nut schooled by hmg prac tice to loleratu it, instinctively revolts against it. It never yet has been shown how slaveiy could have a loti nd at ion in any prmciploof natural justice It is not likely therefore, that a feeling of di-1 ko and opposition will ever die until slavery dies ; the feeling will remain impendent upon circumstances for greater or lestactiv- ty higher or lower degree! of development. The proposition to annex Texas, followed by a war and vast acquisition of territory, to be made free or sluvo territory, necessarily rendered slavery for the lime being, a political question. Every man was invi led tu vote upon il, and it presented a political issue, a( listmct as any ott er, and, in ill nature of Iho case, more absorbing thau uny other. It presented precise ly that admixture nf interest, religion, moruls, politic and ambition most likely tu unhinge ihe judgments of men. The student nt history could have foretold, as many did foretell, the snleof nttairt which resulted; how those least capable ot advising would most seek toad iset li w impetuosity would be mistaken fur latent ; how extravagance would seem to .tself lo beconisteu ryi how temper and interest Would bo mistaken for principle! noise for courage, and how sober judgment would apju'ar tamo and worthless) how, when much was nt stnke, and so many questions growing out of the main issue, upon which tersotia might naturally and honestly difler, men Won Id become jealous of tri ties, and lose confidence in each other without cause, until ihe cohesive power uf government nnd society seemed nearly lost. The territorial questions being now settled, tho qui tiouol slavery, as a political question, Is necessarily less dixtiuct and presting. The field for political action in repaid toil is necessarily narrowed mid limited. Hi' now no broader than it has beeu ever since the formation of the constitution. The great deep of public opinion has been too profoundly moved by the wind ol controversy tn become calm in a moment, hut the storm is over, ntid h as would wish lu do good in their day ami gener niton, must looK ahead, and p re i hi re lor duty. huvo supposed a few calm sueestluns nn th gencru men " poniiim m imu mjuii uiit RiiKjeci in smverv. niieht now be neither uiiatreptnlite nor mefest. About twenty years ago, abolition sochliia were or ganiztd iu the tree States. Their avowed purposo was thu immediate am) unconditional abolition of slavery in the United States their menus of accomplishing that result, wus " mural sua-ion," The persons enca ged iu it wore for the most part pious and sincere men, not accustomed lu topics uf that magnitude, and prone tn excitement, i tiey csiaotixheu a lew presses ami went nhuitt lecturing.

This gavo the lecturers ntid orators notoriety nd come- piencej they leli some consciousness of martyrdom. Vheir rijilit were invaded, and they could enlist sym pathy! tin y found a few followers in almost every lo cality, but not many anywhere. Their discussion, front the fust were characterized hy dtstasiefiil epithets und modes uf procedure. 1' secutiou accustomed ihem to brave public opinion, and iu many cases unsettled their characters. They became embittered, denunciatory, and took pride in things which other people reinrib d as indecorum. Not a few became open infidels avowed enemies tn religion and government. Some would not cut their beards or hair, and fell victims to tnM manners ntid odd conceits. It was obvious enough that no very large amount of moral suasion would happen in this way. Next followed n political organisation, called the Liberty Party." The ballot box was invoked. They stood upon the idea thnt tlivnry was tho greatest evil in (he country this wu their facts their inference was, aether t consequently that slavery was the "para mount" question, before which all others were hndg- uificaiit. The inference was much too broad to be supported by their fact, but it hud another imiierlec -ion. The blacks wero only a few, aud the whites many ; by making the rightsof the blacks " paramount," uiey commuted Iho same fault they complained ot, that of subordinating one cluss to another. Equality wot their theory, but they made the blacks " paramount" to the whites the minority paramount to tho majority. There was no probability of their accomplishing agrcatdeul with such au error the result of dwelling too intently upon a tingle idea. The Free Soil organization followed, and tpreada wider table. They made a sortof platform at HuHalo, us ihuy thought, embracing principles to administer the government upon. They appeared to intend to take nnd tu reject a portion uf the creed of each of the old parlies, hut they balanced their words ho nicely, it was impossible lor the most partlo know what iheyodopi-rdaud what they rejected. It was, however, distinct on a few points, und they nominated u candidate for the Presidency who never food ou iheir platform, and refused to como square up to it. Ho wrote words all about it, but come upon the platform he never would. He was too old to pled;;o himself to stand on thin air. Tho ticket got no elec-tnnl vote, but the movement threw a few members into the State Legislature of Ohio. One principal dogma of the Freesoil party wus th;it no conscientious anit slavery man could vote for tho Presidential candidate of either uf the old parties, or for any man for any office who would voto for either of said candidates. This idea lasted through the canvass of 1818; bn in ho session of tho Ohio Leuilaturo that followed if, produced difficulties. Tho Freesuilers were few, and if l hey refused (o vote for others, others would refine to vole for thorn. Their former idea was therefore modified, to mean thnt they could not conscientiously vole lor any body elso without a consideration. Ever sii,ce then, iu Ohio and elsewhere, they have been voting fur and against others for a consideration, eon-sei tnee not allowing it to he done without. Most ot tlm leaders in the Freesoil movement have ascertained that they could do a great deal for liberty by joining the Democratic party, and being put into oflice. Their idea of the necessity for a third party organiza tion, was practically abandoned in less than a year allot it was proclaimed. Thu first frosl killed il. Oilier parti of the Buffalo platform uro now to bo found only in nld newspaper files; it in not spoken of in po Hies by friend or foo as a live thing. We have no moro lectures nbout iho immediate abolition ol slavery, and very litile oboiit ihe old phraseology of " p irumonut idea.' Those formulas have become obsolete. Tho old organizations have merged themselvet, lor the most part in politics, and become vagrant over the surface of utr,iirs,without cohesion or purpose. Du'ior llaily edits a very readable paper, " dedicated to freedom," hut hat no plan, or if ho hnt n phut, no pat y to adopt it. He lays himself, that anti-slavery me; i meaning those who have funned distinct organizations ni such ore in great dancer of losing; all the odiitntages they have gained; und he stoutly begs iu'ii lo raliy, but duet riot tell them huw. Gerrit Smith denounces Doctor Daily, and does not believe him to oo a true anii-iluvery man. Garrison regards our constitution as a lenoue with wickedness, and con sequently, dedicate! himself to the cause of treason. Oth -rs pretend to acknowledge allegiance tn the con stitution, but insist on construing it in a novel and in-genions manner.

The Texas, am' mote recent territorial questions, gaveiln-m niore f.i vnrahle opioriuiiiiie than are likely to occur ngain, but it I as nuve-r yet happened that any one measure ol theirs has beeu adopted, imr that any State has given ils asieut lo their plju.s. Wilberforce nnd C'urkson, ut Ihe enu ol twenty years, hnd secured hlrinir.'tit Iowa gains the slave trade, m.d abolished slavery iu ihe llriusli West Indies. Willi the benefit of their urgu-me;itsnnd example, and of tie! general progress oftn-liliteuiiii-ut, our abolitionists find themselves nt the nd of twenty years no furl her abend than when they stared, with opinions and feelings among theum-lves so j uigled, diverse, and nut of tune, that they are morally certain to get uo further. Wo do not say this to inji.ro their feelings, or bring them into ridicule, but bee use tlio fact is so, mid bocntiso it seems tu us a resi It which ought to beget sober and dispassionate retl clion. The liict is so. Havo they really done no harm T To suy tho least, they have spent much time and mouey without results. b it what has been the eflect in politics generally t It h is boon to make it dangerous to profess anti-slavery sen iiuunts in any nmro temperate mode thm their own j because those who did so were iu danger of be iug mistaken and supposed to be uf ihem, consequent. ly were in danger of losing caste with the majority of the country. In Congress their measures have always bee i extreme, such as at the time stood no chance, and they have oi-nerally refused to sun port more tiiodrnitH me itures. Thus more mild and moderate men cuincd no I tvnr with them for atlemptiuo to assist, while Ihey lost mvor eisewnere by being identified with them. It I, is happened that with t.venty yearadisrtisshm.nnd ' a ry ft cue ml clamor on the subject of slavery, ihe rec ni votes in Congress are not more sitisfaclory lo ala litionistt thnuihu vote on the Missouri Compromise. Taking Iheir own account of iho matter, they have lost everything they contended for, and if tin y till ihe irntli, the result could not have been worse, hud nn such thing as an abolitionist oyer beeu heard of. Out of Congress we believe no law bearing upon tho web fan of slaves hat been made more favornble to the slaves, while a great many have been made morestrin- gei,i,uiu.er a belief or pretence of danger. There has bom another result. They have scouted tlio idea that there wero any real opponent! nf slavery in the five Stniet except themselves, and have named alt such as lid not agreu with them, pro-sl ivrry men. Thus so far as their testimony goes, they have made the world liehove that there an- but few mil anti-slavery men in tin country, anil those few sadly addicted lo unclnrl- tab'eness and bitterness of spuit t in short that a large maturity of all tho people of thu free H'ntOH are pro-sis, ery in sentiment. Their luiidaineutal idu that is, opposition to slavery which is a true and good one, has llius been made au instrument uf mischief. They ha- o mailo the mistake which all men make who Mart ou with the belief that there is only one ulunble idea or tning tu tho world, and their own judgment is the only standard of merit. Their protecis have initenr- nedj they have showered a gnat deal of unmeiited reproach upon oiliors, and surrendered themselves to um omfortnblu distrusts and jealousies toward their lell w men.

Mere sen- oioim legacy to ull man kind always ruuuiu a hulJow- tiuieut has accomplished lit'lo in this world, except when following in the train of commerce und the arts. Slavery was ubolUhed in Now England, not by any spasmodic uuti-sluverv action, but bv the rinenina of events. It may be so ill other parts uf iho Union.

We cannot do justice tu the speaker and will only attempt tu give u tow points in his remarks. He commenced bv observing that the scenes of thu day would enable us to suy, without the spirit of boasting, (hut " thm is a great country " and itmt we are a great people, mid that we live in an age which reuuires some new word to disiiugni-h ii from ull oihers ; thur, lor tho want ol a belter word he would call it ihe aire of "go ahendativeiiess." . In alluding to the periods of progress in ages pant, he observed that it had been hy advancements so slow thutn century must needs elapse, to mark the progress which had been made ; that the Methuselah of the olden times, und iiuho age ol nine hundred years, had seen jess of improvement in his ruce, tliun ihe boy of our in.e, at the age of fifteen. That now it requires but the sleep of a single night to be awakened to scenes of tho morning of us much surprise and amazcmeii', as seized the renowned Kip Van Winkle, when tie opein d his eyes, after a sleep of twenty years, upon his own familiar village. At this point of hit speech, Mr. S. alluded, with great eflect, to Ihe presence nf the Legi-datuie in tho midst of the assembly before him. Ou the morning of yesterday, he said, Ihey were in the once far otl cupitol of the State, but ou ihe morning of to-day, we behold thein Im e iu our midst, upon this our once distuut border, in the panoply uf a people's government, nod in runt of Iter Majesty's dominions, un event, which he humorously observed, hud never before occurred " within tho memory of the oldest inhabitant." He alluded, wiih touching effect, to iho presence of the Senators and Hepreseufutivea of Ohio, m the hon. ored guests ol the city, to join wiih ihe neoolo of this northern border, in the celebration of a day, sucred to the memory of Washington, iho Father ol ihe States, and ol iheir blessed iiid glorious Union. Mr. B. was pecutijrly h ippy in his ullusion to the presence, on this oecui-ioii, of delegates of ihe cilies uf Ohio, who had emtio to offer their congratulations on au event, which had now brought them, hitherto strangers to us nud to each other, into the relation of near neighbors aud friend j. We cannot do justice to this part of iho speech of Mr. 8. Afer passing noon other tonicsol interest. Mr. S. concluded by referring lo ihe completi'mmf the greut work, of which tho scenes of tho day were the first fiuits. He p used an eloquent and merited tribute neon Iho Pre-ideittof the Cleveland, Columbus and Cin cinnati Kail fhuid Company.

He would introduce Mr. FufJi, of Cincinnati, a gentleman who was umply able to tell bis own t-tory. Mr. Pngh uroso nnd said, h did not know what he was culled up for In- had noihing new to say. It was honor enough for him to be found among such an illustrious company us ihe one at present. Cincinnati had no jealousies of Iter sister city of ihe Lakes rejoiced in her prosperity, ami tin aimed with her in adversity they would grow urcnt together. He got up to show himself, to verify the prt dictiuu 'hat a real livo Cmcin- iiati.m would l'oiiii op lo Cleveland by Uailroad he was here of that lact ho was ready to umke affidavit tn.foro (in Hoi, ur ihe Governor. . . . ' lie would mw take up the time by talking any more. It was L'lmy eunuch for him to be allowed u place and be surrounded by such illustrious company as ho found himself in ; ntid In- hoped be should always be uble to behave fiiinsell so well that lln-y would let him keep it.

There ts no telling what a difference it makes with n town to get nu net of incorporation, and be called " City." Tilliu is the latest add most striking instance of thu kind. Its great men nro ray great. Its newspapers are famous for the latest ami must accurate news. It is fast getting all thu accomplishment, and we fear, ail the vices of metropolitan life. Thitlutter clause we infer from the fact that one of her eminent citizens wns arrested on the late trip to Clcvelund, for stealing tkt traveling bag of a Senator ! But we commenced this paragraph to notice the receipt of a new agricultural woik just issued from that cily. It is called " The Ohio Agriculturist," and it "edited and published by Dr. Sprago." It is a very neatly priutt d nnd covered pamphlet of 32 pages, lo be ismed monthly at ene dollar per year. This number ppears to be well tilled with erticbsof interest, most ly oelcctid. We can hardly prophecy the result of such an enterprise, though we cannot full to wish it success. Wu havo already two popular and wellet-tablit-hcd agricultural papt ts in this city, and if they can be well sustained our farming interests will do quite as much as we expected. The Ohio Agricultur ist is printid at tho ( Hire ol A. Laubach. contents. Are we, then fore, lo give tip all opposition to the w-sdoip and worth of the fi lers ul the Suite slavery? We hope nut; but seeing what means have hilled, let us adopt others more likely to enlist the np-probation uf men int ro likely at least to preseive it ir owu hearts from unchristian animosities. Let us not ci use tu work out tho redemption of our hnt) from so gieat an evil, but rely less ou loud talk nnd more ii-toti tin divine agencies of charily and love. It is ditlicult. sis reading hisiury, to resist au imprcsMou that great e. il ur great blessings are seldom bestowed upon nations, hut for some wise desigmi, only revealed from the depths ot infinite wisdom hy the coming on ol lime. For what pursue human slavery wns allowed lo In-leu its odious fangs upon the only countiy in the world governed by democratic sentiments and republican In siitulions, does not appear. That purtmse may be tho colouiiilian and eln istinu- it diou of besotted Africa, It may ho iu the f dim sb of time to cover those heathen shores with republican in stimtioiis like our own. Meanwhile let us not forget, that sn far as our duty is involved, it cannot be either tn innkeoursev's or our neighbors miserable. What wo cannot accomplish by kindness, is not likely lu be accomplished at all. When luce it inchVt-titul, hatred and deiiunciniioii will avail little.
