have devoted much more time to this
part OF the Report than it deserves, or
should have received, but from the fact,
already alluded TO, that it comes forth un.
der the imposing name of committee of
the Legislature. | shall close my COM
ments upon this part Of the Report with
the words of that wise and sagacious
statesman, Lord Chesterfield IA man most
profoundly learned in all human know
ledge, and above all in the human heart.
Upon the discussion of the bill in House
Of Lords, to repeal the act of 1885,
Lord Chesterfield delivered this noble sem
tlment, For my own part, my Lords, l
think the bill now proposed, (the bill to
repeal the duty on liquors) much worse
than the tax invented by Vespasian's ways
and means men; it is not only mean and
sordid, but it is vicious to the last degree:
because it will encourage and promote that
vice which is the parent of every other
vice. If your Lordships, Therefore,
should reject that motion, and proceed in
the committee, when you come 10 the pre-.
amble. | shall propose an amendment,
which [ think very necessary one. for
the sake of truth as well as religion. In
that part of the preamble where it is said
BY and with the advice and consent of
the Lords spiritual and temporal" hope
your Lordships will leave out the word
"spirilua!;" for it will bring scandal upon
the religion Of the age to have it recorded
in our law books that the reverend bench
gave their consent to such wicked bill.
Besides, it is false in fact, for some of|
them have appeared openly and avowedly
against it; and | do not find that any one
Of them will advise or consent TO it,
must defer further comment on this
Report till another day. JEROME.
Since writing the above have as cortaned that
his remark is peculiarly applicable to the Report

without consultation with, and in opposition 10 the
In3wn opinion of several members of the Commit.
nittce: and, contrary to all usage III such cases,
ho Chairman moved to lay his own report upon the
able. These arc the facts, I leave the people to
raw their own infercnccs. This statement is mado

From the Charleston Couricc.
GEN. HARRISON.

In compliance with our determination
to deal fairly with this distinguished cit-
zen, now again regularly presented to the
people of the U. s., as candidate for the
Presidency, and in order that the South
: especially may judge Of every thi"g con-
nected with his position on the slave ques-
! ton, wo publish the following evidence
OF abolition hostility 10 him from recent
number of the Emancipator. We are
glad to perceive this movement, and trust
that Gen. Harrison will take an early op-
portunity to declare his present sentiments
on the subject Of slavery, to do away all
suspicion arising out of the exceedingly
objectionable passage in his Cheviot
speech, which we cited few days since.
and to confirm the abolitionists in their op-
position to him. By so doing, he may
not promote his elevation to the Prcsidcn-
c., but he will certainly fulfil the duty of
a true patriot, alive to the best interests
and anxious for the continued harmony of
the Union. We hope the aboltionists will
perform their threat of complete Isolation
from both political parties, and thus no
longer have any shield against the unmin-
gled scorn and detestation of the whole |
From the Emancipator.
GENERAL HARRIsoN.-Manyh have sup
posed that it might be expedent for the
Executive Committee to interrogate Gen.
HARRISON, now that he is the recognised
for the Presidency, with some
prospect Of election, to learn his views
with respect to the abolition of slavery
But where is the use! 1t is true we rejoice
in the rejection Of Henry Clay, because
he is a Shareholder, and defender Of,
slavery. Gen. Harrison, we know, is not
a office-holder, Neither is Mr.. Van Bu-
rem. But no one thinks it necessary TO
Mr.. Van Buren. Why? Be-
cause his principles are known to be in fa-
vor of the ascendancy Of the SLAVE Pow
Err. But are those OF Gen. Harrison any
less so? He is the man Of his party, and
hat party have shows the absoluteness ef
heir subserviency, by nominating slave
holder, a peculiarly bigoted devotee of
slavery, on the same ticket with Gen.
Harrison, and now by electing nullify-
ing slave-h older, from breeding Vir-
yinia, for Speaker.
But we submit, further, that Gen Har-
rison's principles arc already we'll known
by his deeds, of which We find the follow;
ing summary in the Rochester Freeman:
In December, 1902, while Governor of
Indiana Territory, he was President of
d Convention of the people Of that Terri
tory, held at Vinccnncs, and transmitted
to Congress memorial of the Convention,
praying that the sixth article of the Cor s
iinance of 49," which prohibited slavery
there, might be suspended. (See Am.
State papers, lsO3.) His efforts to make
Indiana slave state were prosecuted for
years while he was Governor of that Ter
ritory.
InISl9, Feb. l6, Gen. Harrison voted, +
as member of the House of Representa-
lives. against clause prohibiting the fur ,
her Introduction of slavery in Missouri, O..
lne against clause for the further eman.I
:ipation (at 25) of slaves born within that
State. Two days afterwards, he voted ,

The Senate have been employed princi-

The scenes which are sometimes enac.
ted, in both Houses of Congress, would be
very amusing, if it were not for their hu-
initiating character. On the Sd instant, in
the Senate, as well as in the House of
Representatives, some evil genius seems
to have taken possession Of the members.
The "passage of arms between Mr..
CALHOUN and Mr.. CLAY, which will be-
found on our first page, appears in any
other than dgnifed INDEPENDENTLY
when the character and influence of the
combatants ere taken into consideration.
1t is nothing but justice to Mr.. CALHOUN,
however. to say that the report here given,
is from. the National IntelAgencer, and is
said to be very imperfect and unjust TO
that gentleman; and we have no doubt Of
the fact. The Globe, containing more
full account of the debate did not reach
us until after we had it in type.
In the House Of Representatives, on the
same day the proceedings were of a most
disgraceful and mortifying character.--
Messrs: JEN1FER, Of Md, and BYNux and
sTANLY, Of N. c., each INDUCED them
selves in strains Of abuse, more becoming
such bar room as the town authorities
would refuse,to grant license to keep open,
than such a body as the American Con-
gress ought TO be.
liumilating as these scenes must have
been, we could not avoid smile at the
self-complacency with which Mr.. SrAsLy,
in the course of his remarks, says: "when
came here, sir, little more than two
years ago, brought with me the dc!ermi.
nalinn to be civil and courteous 10 every
meaiber IF the House. resolved never
70 be guilty Of using offensive language
4nlcss propokcd."
We have no knowledge Of the charac-
or and disposition of Mr. S. except as ex-
libited by the few speeches he has raade
II Congress, but it certainly argues very
Mid and amiable temper, that ne should
e cirI and courteous unless he was pro-
oked. To bo serious, however, such a
eso!ution by any one, making the slight
st Pretensions to the an,iability which
hould characterize gentleman, appears
o us about as wise, as to resolve that he
'ould not eat unless he was hungry.
