Tho uuuko and dust raised by tho leud rn of rebellion at Wah!ngtoit, seem to have bliuded the eyei of hirgo porliun of Congress, at well a thousands of tlifl com. raoi populace, u to tho real cauiut that Imvo produced the present crisis. I Ion. Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, In a rnusturly speech on the State of tho Union, U tho onljr man In Congress, m fur ai wo tiara seen, who baa taken the Lull of avecs atou by the horns, and shown us how the brute, which wui only a weak, lousy culf In 1833, bai grown up Into hie present lusty projMjrtlofia. II tells us that for more than thirty years tho heart liai been butting and goring and sorklug this great American nation till he has mado her give down about the luit drop of tho milk of honesty kho had, and then drawn the very life's blood out of tier by muklng Lor yield what alio po4sosscd of moral principle, and public virtue. Mr. Davis takes a tru ly comjiroliomiro and stutcstnanliko view of tho whole subject, when he traces our present political maludics to a general mar. at debasement of a largo portion of the American people This Is precisely tho conviction that has been forced ujmmi as wbonever wo haro surveyed the whole field of rebellion, and carefully noted the mollcy forces of secession, rallied by Southern luadori, and followed by Northern sutlers and scavengers, with Garrison and Phillips as chaplains, praying for the army, In tho distance. Tho present aggravated form of tho discern called a ' crisis' by political doctors, but which Is nothing more nor less thun a great moral leprosy, which has scab bed over tho wholo Surface of tho body politic, we havo long since predicted would Ih the result of tho nuuiplo and teaching of high functionaries at Washington, with tho endorsement they received by stunt spouting demagogues nnd pensioned sec tional presses all over tho land. Let us rapidly glanco at somo of tho teachings and practices of tho leaders of a party which, up to tho moment of its demise, was, ns was truly averred by Senator Hammond of South Carolina, "ruled by Southern slavery." Let ns, after glancing at a few of tho teachings and practices of the sluvo power, look for a moment ut somo of Its fruits. ' Will it psyr " (Hero tho clsss bad an instinctive idea that they were being led Into a pirate's den, but, remeiulcrlng that they bad already admitted the principle, they all meekly bowed their assent.)

" It follow, of course," rcjoudcd tho class.

When disunionisui, ever Intent on de stroying the American Union, found itself baffled in its purpose of building up a for- niidublo disunion party on the tariff issue, which was too weak a hobby to bear tip eveu South Carolina In 1832, resolved to make a hobby of tho shivery question, it noted wisely it was a master-stroko of policy, well worthy of the political sagacity of men who have studied polities as a trade. They snw that with skillful management slavery could bo mado to bear tlio very fruit they desired. Tho first lesson tho professors in tlio collego of treason gave their pupils, was, lliut all the old teaching of tho founders of tho Government, which they themselves had always admitted was r17tf, must now he set asido as wrong. Here the wholo class in college Lowed as sent, uud oponed their mouths for lesson .-number one. "Wo havo hitherto made a mistako" (said thi professors) " in admitting that slavery is an etii wo haro discovered that it is a social, mornl, mid political blessing." " Yes, yes," responded tho class, " we boo that plainly." " Wo have made another mistako In ad mitting that slavery rested wholly and en tirely for its uuthority on local State- law, we now believo that it is found in the Bible ond the Constitution." say tho pro fessors. Horo tho political class winco a littlo, pauso, mid look sheepishly at each other, and then reluctantly drawl out "Y-a-s-s." " Wo made a great mistake also," soy tho professors, " in askiug for the Missouri Compromise line as it excludes slavery from all territory north of 30 30'. It is unjust to tho South, and wo must go for Its repeal." (Hero the class looked sulky, and shook their heads.) " Now" (soys Douglas) " do not understand that this is a pro-slavery movo nt all wo wish to wipe out this lino merely becauso it is a ' badgo of dishonor to the South.' We propose to mnko ' my great principle,' that Is, Me right of self government, tho rulo in all tho territories, and 1 raw the people thereof free to regulate their own domestic institutions in their own if oy.' ' Slavery will always bo governed by ' toil, climate, uud roluctioHst, and the ' soil, climato, nnd productions' pertainin to all territory north of 36 30', aud most of it south of that line, being unfriendly to slavery, slavery will never teek to go there in the face of this fundamental law of nature." Here the whole class Involuntarily broke out in a big guf faw, tickled each other's ribs, and shouted, " Hurrah for Squatter Sove-reai'y " " Now" (wiy the professors), " having admitted that men are governed solely in tho matter of slavery-extension by the an swer to the question ' Will it pay? it is but natural to suppose that this is a general rule of condact, and we must all be right fully governed by golden rule number 2 the class, while tho rest aro mum. " Well, then," continue the teacher, " If, after ho get there, the Vermouter has a right to have his jackass protected by ait, hasn't tho Georgian tho right to have his nigger protected by law, tour " u cannot see why lie suoulJn t, on swer a itortion of the pupils. " And If," continue the professors, " the wn of a Territory fuil or refuse to pro tect tho Georgian's constitutional rights, isn't it tho duty of Congress to protect them?" i Of course," Is heard faintly from a portion of tho class, whilo a few pauso to let a vague idea Hit through their minds (hut if the common law protects property in jackasses, aud doesn't protect projicrty in niggers, but a special law of Congress is necessary to protect eluvc projicrty, then sluvo projicrty, inxteud of resting on the same basis es other projicrty, lias worked itself up to rather a h'jhrr ' basis.' " Well, now," soy tho professors, " If Congress refuses to give tho South their constitutional rights, by protecting slavery in nil tho Teiritories, huxu't the South the right to withdraw from the Union, nnd break up a government which denies to them their constitutional rights?" Hero all such pupils ns the orgtin-griiid era of lireekinridgo and Lnno mutter, " Ya s s" while a part of the class woke np to tho idea that they have already gone (piito fur enough in letting slavery through tho bars of " State luir," to warp tho Constitution, overrido moral justice, and thrust n.sido tho "fundamental law of na ture" as written in "soil, cliinute, and productions," without nsscnting to its right to overturn tho Government, and bury thirty millions of jieojilu in 0110 common ruin. This class of juijiils rcily "No," nnd forthwith ' secede' from tho Demo cratic school, while tho remainder find themselves Imperceptibly nnd slowly carried on the slavery hobby into the camp of treason, Thcso ore a few of tho tenchings that have degraded and demoralized the coilc, Now let us glanco rnjiidly ut a few of the rRACTICKS of thoso who Imvo endorsed them. The first was the election oflucliatinu by fraud. Tho fate of tho November election In 1S5C was decided by tlio Pennsylvania October election, uud that election was carried by tho fraudulent voting of unnaturalized foreigners, who hud been furnished with irnuuiiieut naiuriiiiziitioii impels, as was sworn to by Democrats before tho Covodo Committee. Tho next net of infamy was attenipted subjugation of Kansas by feder al ollicinls and federal bayonets, nnd tho attempt to forco shivery oj tho people against their will.

Men have been pouted at these presses with a special view to their fitness for preparing the public mind to excuse tli blackest of crime. Tbey bsvo picked up a partisan editor men a de void of couscleuce, patriotism, and moral honesty a monkeys. Abolition amalga matioiiist who hate tho Union, bummers around coffee-houses, bartenders In saloons and houses of infumy, havo been impressed Into the servico of scattering weekly issues of newspapers among tho peojilo, whose oflico has lieen to sneer at conscience, scoff nt houor aud common honesty, jeer at all higher and nobler principles of action than those that govern ilratcs, stab religion in tho buck, excite sectionul animosity and huto, create a morbid symjiathy among their readers for everything dishonest, rot ten, mean, and cowardly. Such have been some of Ihc fruiti of the teaching of the pro slavery disunion!!!, all ovor tho land, and tho example set at Washington City; that men, who would have naturally been staid and passably resicctublo citizens, havo turned out to following stealing, for gery, incest, Jierjury, highway robbery, and murder, guthered up by tho wtysido on tlio road to treason as so many flower to bo wrought into a bouquet as a suitable of fering to the black and smoking demon of Disunion, enthroned on a pyramid built uj of four millions of niggers. All tho hojo thut treason uow has for a capitulation with tho Government, or for even 0 short lived existence, is thut tho agencies it has been using for tho lust thirty years, haro been effectual in reducing the American jcoilo to a position whero they will stand up before tho civilized world ns degenerate sous of noblo sires unworthy of liberty, and uniiblo to appreciate tho blessings of a free government, and as having reached a very low depth of moral debasement.

It has even gouo so far as to put its foot on slaveholders themselves, in a slave State, who were not willing to la bor for the perjKtuili of slavery in their own State. It removed every man from office in Missouri who even spoke well of the gradual emancipation system that Mis sourians attempted to inaugurate in that State. Theso ore somo of tho teachings and practices that havo demoralized tho nation. THE KRIIT3 nro simply these: Treason is now in or ganized, armed, and active rebellion against the Government, claiming a con stitutional authority for that which four years ago was acknowledged by all to be a crime justly atoned for by death. The authority of the Government to defend its own existcuce is denied. High functiona ries of the Government at Washington, ttrom to protect it and paid to do so, hare for months been transporting the United States arms and munitions from Northern arsenals into tho camp of rebellion, with the kuowledge that these anus were to be cd conversion of a greasy jiieco ol brown wrnpiiiig-pnjier into a bunk note.

At tho lato session of Congress, three new Territories were or ganized, as follows: Nevada, of tho wes tern portion of Utah, embracing tho Washoe region; Colorado, embracing the Pike's Teak luiucs; and Dukotah, the western part of the former Territory of .Minnesota. On March 14th, news was received nt Montgomery, apparently from a rehublo source, that five United States war ves sels left New York on Tuesday night well armed, and witli n large number of marines and ample provisions on board, believed to be destined to some southern port. The Times' correspondent says Secretary Cnmcron Is understood to favor the imIk of collecting tho revenues outsido of tho ports, after Secretary Chase shall havo drawn requisitions upon the officers of tho Seceding States, and they have refused to comjity.

Johnson resumed, indicating what ho would havo done, had ho been iu the President's place, with tho men who have used their ofliciul stations hero iu ashing- ton and clsewhero to givo " aid and com fort" to the enemies of tho Government and the country. Ho would have doao ns Jefferson did with Aaron Burr; ho would havo arrested them, and if found guilty on tiiul, ho would huvo executed them. The Senator (Mr. Lune) alludes to my "stuff in''" Tor my speech, lie would ask, In re ply, how often has that Senntor been stuff- 111?, and how often has ho been stuffed? If tho stuffinir was as laborious as tho de livery, ho (Mr. Lone) had os sorrowful timo of it. The Senator hud spoken of his (Mr. Johnson's) "triumphant ignorance and exultant stupidity," nnd had talked about Ins own " mind." Ho (jur. John son) would not dignify that Senator's qual ification with tho title of "mind." Allud ing to tho vote of tho 25th of May hist, when tlio Senate, with three dissentients only, declared that the condition of the Territories of tho United States respecting slavery did not require nny further lep;islu lion on tho part ol Congress, Mr. Johnson said thut tho oenntor from Orcein (Air. Lane) though a Northern Senntor, linii be- como more bout hern thou tho South her self. Such excessive devotcdness always laid itself open to tho suspicion of hypocri sy, further, the Senators great readiness to break up the Union is because ho faded in being elected Vice President. Tho motive of many of theso disniiiouists is, that if they cannot enjoy dignities iu the wholo of tho Union, they will 111 part of it, and hence it is that the defeat of tho Sena tor at tho lato election for President ond Vice President enabled him to fix the pre cise point ot timo at which tlio Uoverument of tho Union should be broken np. Since tho zum 01 December last, six States have been taken out of tho Union, not br the pcojile of thoso States, but by a system of tyranny, nnd terror, nnd fraud never ex celled in the world. Tho Government of the Union has been destroyed, and that of an Irresponsible tyranny set. up without consulting the popular will, and without their votes. It had commenced in South Carolina, nnd with little or no variation re peated In Georgia, Mississippi and tlio other Gulf States. Ho predicted that tho day would como when the people of those Stntns would ivsnnin l.linir ricrhtfnl nna-or Nnd drive tho tyrants from their self-elect ed posts, nnd perhaps hnng them on trees.

This was hesitatingly imitated by two or three persons further on in tho south range of the same gallery, but, in stantaneously gathering strength, it lighted np the enthusiasm of tho packed galleries in the west and northwest quarters, and a tremendous outbnrst of applause putting to silence the powerful blows from the hammer of the presiding officer succeeded. Three cheers were given for tho Union, and three for Mr. Johnson, and as by this time the Senators on the floor care the strongest token of indignation and outrag ed dignity, the retreating crowd uttered a shower of hisses.
