The Savannah Republicau of the 21st contains a short notice of this speech, from which we make the following extracts. Judge B. spoke for three hours. la the conclusion he said : ' For the ma ny wrongs which in his judgment the South had received, he proposed no remedies outside the constitution, no acts of resistance to the Govern-, meni, no blow against the Union. He depicted the inevitable discords and dissensions which would ensue upon any effort to form new confed eracies, and demonstrated the certain and terrible evils which would attend a dissolution ol the U nion. He proposed to fight the battles of the South in the Union and upon the constitution, and denied to any man, or set of men, the right to drag him out of the Union, without his con sent." The Republican adds: ' Upon the whole, he is the strongest Union man we have yet met with.' The editor of the Union crives notice that he will pay his respects to Mr. Rives of the Globe in a few days. We hope, in the progress of the discus sion, we shall have all the underplots of the Jack son and Polk dynasties, fully exposed. A beau tiful picture they would present, no doubt, if they were faithfully sketched. 3T h nceurs to us as most surprising, that the iialtisrh Standard." considering the hot zeal which print has hitherto exhibited to fight Gea Saun as' buttles, should not have alluded, in terms of "tied ciftnuendation, to that gentleman's recent as teit uwi tlip Renudiators in the House of Com- i i w.

It affords us great pleasure to publish, and to commend to general consideration, the following letter from a distinguished Gentleman in the State a sound thinker and a native North Carolinian to his friend in this City. We will no longer detain our readers from its perusal, than to say. tht the views of the respected author meet our heartiest concurrence. "In looking into (the probable destiny of our country, I am of opinion, it is eminently the policy of North Carolina to connect her harbor of Beau fort with the interior of her own, and with the ad joining States, by Rail Road. Out of the present sectional animosity upon the subject of negro slavery, a policy of direct trade wth Europe, and other foreign parts, will in all human probability, grow up. l nis win oecome a necessary measure of retaliation and self defence, whether the Union weather this storm or riot The seat of Northern sensibility is the pocket. A total abstraction of our intercourse, and the wealth they derive from it, would speeddy reduce them to a reasonable state of respect for our rights. Be this as it may, I be lieve as surely, as I sit in my chair, that a new era is about to begin in the political and commercial history of this country, lines of steam and pack et ships will be established between Southern ports and Europe, and a direct trade thus established and maintained. The harbour of Ifeauiort has been for two hundred years and continues to be, much the best port South of our Capes, and with a fair chance. will become the mart for imports and exports for the whole Atlantic, South of Capes, Henry and Charles. : Nothing, I verily believe, is necessary to effect this, but a connexion with the interior coun try by Rail Road; and North Carolina would thus oecome. insieau ui a muuw uayuij(, a tnoube re ceiving State, amongst her sisters of the South. Mv heart swells with emotions of delight at the contemplation of her destiny under such a state of things. Kail Koads are enecting wonderlul revolutions in the world, and will effect this for us, if we will anticipate events and call this mighty engine to our aid at once and in time. I am opposed to debt, and should, on that ac count, if called upon, have voted against the Im provement schemes of the last General Assembly ; but the debt is now assumed and must be paid. To make our works complete and give us a rea sonable and early chance of extinguishing the debt, what is here suggested ought to be forthwith done. The additional debt will be about $1,000,000 a sum insignificant, compared with the vast benefits it will secure to the State. Such an expenditure now will be a wise economy. Verb sap ! ! TO.

Also, a bill to amend the present Militia laws, so as to mak no exemption on account of conscientious or religious scruples. Passed nrst reading and referred. Mr. Jones, from the Committee ou Propositions and Grievances, reported in favor of the bill to lay off and establish a new county out of the present county of Surry, to b called Yadkin. Mr. Caldwell moved to substitute the name of Harnett, which, not being a greed to, the bill was put on its second reading and passeoU Mr. Steele, from the Committee on Education, re ported in favor of authorizing the Literary Board to loan to the Mount Fkasaot Acudumy,--tbo. mint of $2000, with an amendment, requiring the interest on the bonds to be paid semi-annually, which was agreed to, aud! the bill passed its second reading. ALsoy reported ui tavor of a loan of ?300 to the Chowan Female Academy, with the "same amend ment I- Upon which Mr. Stowe demanded the aves aud nays. He was opposed to the general principle of loans by the Literary Birard. He did not know to what means their aid might be given, and he did not see any limit to such demands. Mr. Steele said, as Cliainuan of the Committee, he had made the recom mendation in accordance with the previous example of the Legislature, aud because he did not know why the, board was not as 'safe iu lending to corporations as to individuals. He was opposed to such institu tions borrowing from the State, and would, liad he been consulted, have advised them to apply to private sources for aid ; but they had the right to apply to the State, and be would ask for one good reason, why the State should not grant it Mr Stevenson replied, that though he was known to be a warm friend to Education, and a stockholder in that very institution, be was opposed to the application of the'TVustees for relief from the State. There was no sufficient res ponsibility on the part of Trustees it was too much divided. There was no one sufficiently interested to take the necessary steps to secure promptness in the liayment of interest or the final redemption of the bonds. And the Directors of the Literary Fund were apt to be more careless in their investments of the I unos in uieir nanas, man tney womu oe m a private capacity. They would not inquire with the same par ticularity into the solvency ot institutions, making ap plication tor aid ; and the uidiscnminate acquiescence to every appeal, would hazard the safety of the fund itself. JJlr. Hayes, of Cherokee, answered his argu ments with a humorous illustration, and after a few pertinent remarks from Mr. S. J. Person and Mr. Steele, Mr. Brogden moved to amend, by adding a proviso to the amendment of the Committee, that the Litera ry Board loan any money not otherwise invested, or not necessary for the purposes of Common Schools.

The pill to amend Revised Statutes relating to free persons of color, on board vessels as sailors, was read and laid upon the table tot the present, on motiou of Mr. Washington, The proposition of the House to elect Comp troller to-day at 1 o'clock, was disagreed to ; that to print Report of Commissioners ol Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, was concurred in. , The special order of the day, being the bill calling a Convention to amend the Constitution of ihe State, was then taken up, and read the second time, when Mr. Woodfin proceeded to address the Senate, at considerable length, in favor of the Bill. We shall give an abstract of this able speech hereafter. Mr. Bower moved its reference to the Commit tee ou Amendments to the Constitution. Mr. Gilmer expressed surprise at this move ment on the part of the Senator from Ashe. - If that gentleman would .consult the wishes and in terests of his constituents, he would hesitate long before making a motion so well calculated to j e. , opard the success of the Bill. Mr. Bower rejoin ed and stated the reason lor his course to be, that time lor reflection was important on so momen tous a subject. After a short debate between Messrs. Gilmer, Bower, Courts and Shepard, and before the question was pill, Mr. Washington said, he should vote for the motion of the Senator from Ashe, (Mr. Bower,) to refer the Bill before the Senate to ihe Committee raised on Amendments of the' Constitution, not for the purpose suggested by the Senator from Guilford, (Mr. Gilmer,) of avoiding a discussion of its merit ; but for the rea sous stated by the Senator from Ashe, (Mr. Bower,) aud the Senator from Rockingham, (Mr. Courts,) be sides one or two others which be begged leave to nien tiou. He would, however, in the nrst place euquire of the Senator from Guilford, (Mr. Gilmer,) how a discussion of the question was to be avoided by com uutting the BilL It would still be open for discussion, whether the report be favorable or unfavorable. The question would still be on the passag of the Bill to a second reading, which is clearly debatable and in volves the whole merits of the measure. It had alwavs been considered a wise and salutary practice to refer all bills of importance, aud no gen tleman could deuy the fact that the present was such a bill ; it contemplates nothing less than a thorough change of the Organic Law of the State. And it was no answer to say that its provisions were few aud simple ; they required to be maturely considered and properly presented for the action of the Senate. Besides, there were various other propositions for the Amendment of the Constitution, all of which had been already referred to the appropriate Committee. He (Mr. WT) did uot know what Senators composed that Committee, nor did he care t know then- names or oDinious : nor did he care whether they sent a fa vorable or unfavorable report upon this particular measure. He was by no means prepared to say that important Amendments of the Constitution were not reouired and while he would express no opinion in kindred measures sliould be trulv and fairly consider ed by the Committee; and he should therefore vote . . .i .- ..i j .i to reler, and hoped tne motion wouiu prevail. The Senate agreed to refer, by a vote of Ayes 40 ; JNays 9 ; and, on motion The Senate adjourned. SENATE. Thursday, Dec. 5th.
