length disposed of the memorial from the
Massachusetts Legislature, 10y postponing it
Kill December. There was a desuitory de-
bate in the House yesterday on this subject.
Tile members of Opposition generally adyo
Gated and voted for its postponement. The
Republican Members divided ON the cues
tion, some voting tn refer it TO a committee,
IN. order to have its insidious tendency aud
false assertions exposed others couteGdins
that it was beneath the dignity OF the House
to enter into a political d,sputatiun with any
BODY OF men on their presentation To Tie
House OF an argument on a political CUES.
uon-ahd an argument the Memorial is
merely, because it prays the adoption Of no
particular measure, Tor for specihc reiiet
from any particular grievance. One CT
curnstance which has marked the proceed
ings of both Houses of Congress III relation
to this Memorial is worthy of note :-tha Is,
that it has been treated with the most FASH
dious delicacy, as well tow ards ne motives
OF the msmoriaiists as 20 the contenls or

pnbilcans IN rotation TO this state Pa or,
which WAS, to say the least OF it, of a mos
iniammatory as well as deceptive character,
reminds us Of a verse We rave some where

!" Tender.handed squeeze a %nett'e, &C."
the import of which was, though We do not
remember the words. thae the most insigni
hcant plant becomes formidable when ap
preached with timidity, although, il grasped.
with iirmness, it " ,uld have been a S nn1x-
ious as any other harmless weed. We need
not apply the fable-its relation 10 me fac.
tltious importance which has been given To.
