ANTLsLAvERY MEMORIALS.

It will be seen by the report of the pro-
ceedings in the House of Representatives.
that, it has been made standing order Of the
House,
That no petition, memorial, resolution, or oher
paper, praying the abolition OF slavery In the Dis
trict oil Columbia or any State Territory, or the
slave trade between the States or Territories Of
The United States, in which it now exists, shall be
received by this House, or entertained in any way
whatever"
On the same evening Of the passage ofthis
resolution. the Globe characterizes il as ''such
an ultra anti-aboition move,' Of Harrison's
Southern friends, "as would deter the whole
Northern democracy from voting for it, SC.
The same paper also perpetrates the fol-
lowing sentence, which we pronounce an in
famous libel. upon the gentleman who made
the proposition, and those Of his party who
supported him in it.
"The federal friends Of Gen. Harrison felt Sc
cure that in offering it, there was no danger of sue
cess! &c.
The Globe further outrages truth by falsely
stigmaiizing the certified members from New
Jersey Messrs. "Aycrigg & Co." as aboli-
ton men Of wax" whose cause, and the i'm
portant debates growing out Of il it basely
tortures into "abolition freaks" and then
begs pardon for the "fw Northern Demo-
Gratis" who conc luded to go for the Southern
Wing resolution of Mr. Johnson, to Put a
stop 10 such debates!
The Globe then concludes its dirty article,
with the following:
every democrat [meaning loco-foco federaistl
from the savehodng States voted for the resolution
and every federalist meaning, we suppose, the Re
pubicans OF the oppositionl from the slaveholding
States voted for it, except four namely: Messrs
Bell and Gentry, OF Tennessee, and Anderson ana
Underwood, oil Kentucky. Every federast Re-
pubicanl from the non-slaveholding States voted
agains, ii, except Mr. Profit, Of Indiana, &c.
Ii was convenient for this pink OF decen-
cy, to omit mentioning the fact, that the
following administration men voted against
the proposition, viz: Messrs. Judson Allen,
Hugh J. Anderson, Beatty, Brewster, Carr,
Casey, Clifford, Crary, Dana, Davee, Doan
Doig, Duncan, Ely, Fletcher, Floyd, Hand
Hook, Howard, Jackson, Keim, Leet, Leon
ard, Lowell, Mallory, Marchand, S. w. Nor
ris, Newhard, Parmenter, Paynter, E. Ro-
gers, John Smith, Starkweaher, Vanderpoel,
d. ID. WAGNER, Wick, and Henry Williams,
or the Van Buren, men from the non-slave-
holding States, who voted lor the resolution
were, Messrs Atherton, Burke, John Davis,
]. w. Davis, Earl, Eastman, Fine, Torrance,
Gerry, Nathaniel Jones, Kemble, Leadbetter,
Nc Cullooh, Medll, Montanye, Parish, Paris,
Pe,riken, Prentiss, Ramsey, Reynolds, Shaw,
Albert Smith, Strong, Sweeny, Taylor, and
Weller.
considerable number of the Van Buren,
patriots skulked, and had not the manlness
TO "toe the mark" on either side Of the qucs-
tion.
We consider it misfortune to both parties,
,ha, nothing can be done on this dark subject,
by the opposition, however far they may 60
n sus,ain the interests Of the South, without
their being covered with the slanderous saliva
of the official organ" 1t increases what
ever excitement there may be on the subject,
and iniures the cause of the South. These
gross and Infamous libels upon those who
would 60 to the uttermost to defend the COM
noct with our Southern brethren, patronized
bv the President, are calculated at least to
discourage that business and liberality Of ac-
ton which, we are sure, vast majority oi
the American people are wiling to extend in
behalf of our peculiar institutions.
Considering the meanness, illiberality, and
Injustice, with which the Globe reports and
comments upon the proceedings in Congress,
we think it due to truth, to the character OF
Congress, and to history, that its paltry editor
he turned out of its doors. We should be
oui,e willing to have the prohibition extended
to every letter writer and editor Of any party
who falsiies the proceedings.
