CONGRESS. A storm arose 10 Con-
gress on the 9th inst. and continued at in
tervals for several days, an account of
which would have been given last week,
but for our paper having gone to press
day earlier than usual. 1t appears that
there was an attempt-brobably by some
Southern member, or other person mimi
cal 10 Mr. Adams course on the subject Of
Slavery-to hoax Mr. Adams, but itturn-
ed out to be failure. MIR. Adams was
too wise for them.
On the 9th Mr. Adams arose in his
place and inquired Of the Speaker if it
would be in order 10 present a petition
from slaves as he had a petition in his
hand purporting to be from slaves. Sew
eral Southern members at once manifested
feelings ofdeep excitement. Uproar and
confusion followed. A resolution was Of
fered by MIR. Thompson Of S. c., censur,
ing MIR. Adams for triaing with the
House. After much hot debate from day
to day, the affair terminated on the llth
in the passage of the following resoIu
tions:
IAN inquiry having been made by ar
T honorable gentleman from Massachusetts,
+ whether a paper which he held in hl'
, hand, puEporting to be a petition from
: certain slASes, and declaring themselves t.
! be slaves, came within the order Of th'
House of the 18th Of January. and TIT
said paper not having been received by tn
Speaker, he stated that, in case so extra
u ordinary and novel be would take the ad
+ vice and counsel ofthe House"
s ResOlced, That this House cannot re
5 ceire said petition without disregardin!
e its own dignity, the rights Of large elias
Of citizens Of the South and West, and tn
= constitution of the United States
ResOlpcd, That slaves do not posses
the right ofpetition secured to the citlzen
> Of the United States by the constitution.
l. So it appears that millions Of the In
habitants Of the United States are by Con
: gress directly prohibited the right of pet
10 ton. What next?

RELIGIOUS SUMMARY.

CONNECTICUT.-There are at present,
within the narrow circle of our acquaint-
ance In this state, eight or ten PAGES visi-
ted with refreshing from the presence Of
the Lord. 1t seems as though the Lord
were bout to do great things for US. In
view of present indications of the divine "a
vor, it becomes every protested Christian
to prepare the way ofthe Lord. Not on
ly should we abstain from the grosser vices
which poilute men and disnonor God, but
even the very appearance of evil should
be put away. Every one should make it
manifest by his dali v walk and conversa-
ton that he has been and is now with Je-
sus None should make that display in his
dress which will lead others to think he is
more attentive to his body than his SOU. -
All should carefully avoid the anusements
Of the season-such as parties for riding
and sporting. There is in them at least
the appearance Of evil Ii seems as
though they who follow such things ac;u-
ally love them. And when Christians re-
! frain from worldly indu!gences, they
should not manifest SORROW that they can.
not enjoy them-eXpreSs their appreciation
otthem, and regret that thew must refuse
them on account Of some who are righte
Gus overmuch. By so doing they coun
tenance the wicked in all their excuses, o.
have at least the appearance ofeviI The
sorrow and hcaviness Of the Christian
heart should be, like Paul's, on the lost an
ruined condition Of sinners. His heart
desire and prayer to God should be contir
ually that sinners may be saved. If hi
SORROWS and heaviness and anxiety ar
about the world and its pleasures, he e1
hibits at least an appearance ofevil-h

A STATE ANFI-SLAvERY SOCIETY was
organized at Harrisburgh, Pa, on the 3lst
ult. At the opening OF the Convention, 1852
names were enrolled, representing 90 coun-
les. The session continued from Tuesday
morning until Friday night. A subscrip-
ton was taken at the close, amounting to
$1,000. A colored man subscribed 5000,
and directed the treasurer TO draw on him
at sight for the amount. So powerful an
organization in the "Key Stone State" i'm
mediatcly bordering upon the dominons OF
slavery, must exert most powerful and
salutary influence in the cause Of emanci-
patton.

as.

I'd. Receiving by gift from her husband,
(Which no other femme.covert may do)
she is the only woman in England who can
say TO her husband, what is yonrs is yours,

3D. Suing and being sued. without cffec-

4th. Having her Courts and officers as If

Instructions. The federalisis ought to
be called the Eel or Chameleon party, for
they change their principles with circum-
stances aud the standard ofintellectual and
political greatness is regulated by the party
phase of the individual. John q. Calho un.
who has been lauded till praise could blow
no louder blasts, whose mind has been
herculean, whose reasoning has been like
the laundering Niagara, whose patriotism
and slatesrnanlike qualities have been be-
yound the age, is now, in their mouths, but
broken reed. He is in favor OF some of
the propositions contained in the Presidents
Message, and his praises are fairly hymn
ed. This Goah has become a mere
child.
When the bank party had tn" majority in
1894, in the Senate, aud Watkins Leigh
was elected as an anti bank man from an
anti.bank state, the federal wings hooted at
the doctrine of instruction. 1t was wild
uiopain scheme, trammclled the Senator,
and perverted the Constitution Some OF
the States have changed their political char
acter within the year, and instruction Is
insisted upon. Yes, this same daming
doctrine, SO dangerous TO liberty is nov
the pet Of tho feieralists. Resign, is now
their cry; how soon this will DC changed
we know not, but we presume before the
sentence has travelled from one end of the
Union to the other.

"Awfm Deprapity = Shocking Repela-
Aons -Stupendous Corruption :"


Under the above head, humorous wri-
ter in the Rochester Daily Advertiser thus
describes the circumstances out Of which
the Wings have endeavored TO fix upon
Gov, Mason the high charge of committing
"a gross breach Of law and honor" by
distributing money at the polls"
The awful facts of the case appear to
be 'hese-and they cannot be too often
repeated as a solemn warning TO others -
Some time during the late election at De-
rot. His Excellency Governor Mason
was accosted by an acquaintance who as
ked him for the loan Of dollar. The
4 Governor had known him in private life
knew him in better circumstances-knew
he was needy,--humanity and the claims
ofold acquaintance pleaded ia behalf ofthe
appicant-the sum also was it not a little
one l--prehaps the Evil One tempted him
in the specious guise Of some piously preni-
cious sentiment like these-"blessed is he
who lendeth money to the poor, and aketh
it not again." or scast thy bread upon the
waters, 81 nshall return TO thee after many
days." AIS alas he yielded to the

his right hand with the tip Of his tongue,
and there with diligently manipulated the

which having discovered, he speedily dis

The multitude-in the metropolitan city of

Governor, IRE decidedly the choice of
the people. as expressed in the Convention, for
a Reelection. The falsehoods. ISLANDERS. and
misrepresentafions, resorted to by the opposition,
and which have ponsrrated every nook and cor
ncr of the Peninsula, will recoH upon the heads
Of those who coined them. The p ople Of Wes-
tern Michigan are too well acquainted with the
mode of warfare resorted toby the opposition party
in this State, TO give credence to their vile pub
locations. Their ungentlemanly attack upon
Gov. Mason, for lending one dollar to an &C
quaintance, we have heard condemned in strong
terms by both PARTIES. And their cry that Lieut.
Gov: Mundy is a noiSC politician, isnot breathed
aloud, after it is read by the opposition in this vi
cinity, for they know too well that there is nc
argument in such assertions.

10 secure his election.
In placing the name of Mr.. Bradford at the
head of our columns as the Democratic cand-
late, for the high and responsible station of Sen
ltor, we feel called upon to say,-that he is a
man in every respect competent to the task Of
representing tho feelings and wishes of the peo-
pie of the District-thst he is 4" CAPABLE, HONEST,
nd FRIEND OF THE CoNsTITUTIoN"-that he
his from his youth upward given an energetic
support TO the great principles commended for by
the Democratic party Of the u. st ties; an that,
as man and citizen his chiratcr stands above

givs him their undivided support, and victory is

Ieras.-We regret to notice that Mr..
Adams, with his usual want of tact and
common sense. has thought proper to bring
Onward the Texas business, in Congress.
This statesman seems 10 watch the oppor-
unity when the country is in a state of in.
tense anxiety about the action of Conguess,
o lag in by the head and shoulders, the
most infammatory topic of the time, and to
keep thrusting this 1ay into the faces of
those members, TO whom he knows it will
be offensive. This, of course prevents the
transaction Of business in which the coun.
Try is interested; and it will continue to do
50, as long as members Of Congress have
passions like other men. 1t was thus that
Mr.. Adams wasted the time of Congress-
and the peoples money las: winter. But
for his folly and oliiciousness, the country
might have got relieffrom Congress before
the crash came. He seems bent on the
same course for the present session. 1t
would have been fortunate for the country
II he had never been born.-Fhu. Mes.
