from the "Trumpet of Liberty" publishes
at Pulaski, Tenn. The editor exposes In
consistency of the Louisville Journal, and
gives facts and figures; he might, however
have saved himself the trouble as none
that knows Prentice expects consistency
from him. Prentice is poet, and as such
has license, and is not the first poet that
neglected consistency. Ovid tells us that
Pluto stole away Prosscrpine when she
was gathering flowers on Mt. Etna, and
in another place says that no flowers ever
grew on that mountain-liers need good
memories.
"The Louisville Journal says that thou
sands of Wings cast their votes against

course pursued by them in the last cleo

CORRESPONDENCE OF TIE N.
ORLEANS BEE.
LETTER no. v,
Washington, Dec. Ii.

Washington, Dec. III.
This was quite an evcntful day in
the house. Soon after the petitions
were called, Mr.. ATrERroN, Of lamp
shire, rose ana asked leave to submit
series Of resolutions in substance as fol-
lows:--
lst. That the general government
was one Of limited powers, and that by
the constitution. congress had no juris-
diction whatever over the institution Of
slavery in the several states Of the con-
fcderacy.
2nd. Declaring that petitions for the
abolition Of slavery in the district of
Columbia and territories of the United
States, and against the removal Of
slaves from one state to another, are a
part of a plan Of operations SET on foot
to effect slavery in the several states,
and thus indirectly to destroy that in
sttution within their limits.
3rd. That congress has no right to
do indirectly that which it cannot do
directly, and that the agitation of the
question in the district of Columbia, is
the means of doing it.
4th. That the constitution of the
United States rests on the broad prin-
ciple of equality among the members
Of the confederacy; and,
9Th That all attempts to abolish
slavery in the district or terrific les. are
destructive of The fundamental princi-
pies on which the union Of the states
rests, and beyond the jurisdiction of
congress. and that all petitions, &c. for
that purpose shall be laid on the table,
without being printed or referred.
Notwithstanding these resolutions
were replete with the republican feel
ing manifested on all occasions by the
south, yet will it be believed that they
were objected to that champion of
whiggcry, Mr.. WISE? Mr.. Anterior
moved a suspension of the rules, which
was carried by vote Of l37 to Co.
He then demanded the previous ques-
ton, which was sustaind by vote of
ia to l07. The question then recur-
red upon the first resolution, and every |
kind of cvasive trick was resorted to,
for the purpose Of frightening of the
issue; motions to adjourn, &c. (all TAX
en- by yeas and nays), question of or
der. &c. until the mongrcl party we're
tired out, having exhausted all their ex-
pedicnts. The vote was then taken
on the first resolution, and carried by
a vote Of 1893 to 6. The memorable 6
wcrc-Mcssrs. Adams, Potts, Evans,
Everett, Russell, and Slade. 1t is wor-
thy Of mention. that Messrs. Wise,
Jenifcr, and Underwood, all
staunch wings, protested against it, and
asked leave to be excused from voting.
The house adjourned after the passage
of the first resolution. After this let US
hear no more charges of abolitionism
on the part Of the friends of the admin
istration.
In the senate resolutions we're adop-
ted inquiring into the expediency of
erecting hospitals at the mouth of the
Ohio, aud at the Muscle Shoals, for the
benefit Of the sick and disabled boat
men and passengers navigating Of Mis-
sissippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers.
A short executive session was held,
and the senate adjourned. X.

IMPROVEMENT BILL.

After throwing every possible obstacle in
the way of the passage OF the improvement
Bill the Senate has passed it bya vote of
II to IL. Messrs. Pearson, Sterrett, Fra
ley, (city,) and Miller, of the opposition,
finding the measures of their party too OBJ
noxious to be supported by honorable men,
left them and supported the views of the
House. Mr.. Pearson declared in speech
on agreeing 10 the amendments of the
House, that if the senate insisted on their
course, they would disgrace their party,
he would resign his seat in that body, and
recommend TO his constituents the election
of Democratic successor.
If, the Legislature were to remain in ses-
sion three weeks longer, with Thaddeus
Stevens to direct the movements Of the op-
position, the wings would be in contempti-
bic minority in both Houses. The open,
frank, even tenor of Gov. Porter's admins
tration, is thus every day commanding the
increased confidence of the public.
