Mr.. LLoyDs's CASSIDY a gentleman
who left Columbus after the vote had been
taken, we derive the information that on
agreeing to the majority report declaring
that Mr.. l.. made the alterations charged in
Mr.. Newton's ledger, the vote stood Al ayes
to sS nays. The vote strictly party--Two
Locos absent.
I he vote on the resolution of expulsion
stood ayes 4S, noes 25-s Locos voting in
the negative, and Wing declining to vote.
The resolution was LOST--it reqnirng
concurrence Of two thirds of the House to
expel member.
Thus has ended one ofthe most miserable
farces ever bf, tght before deliberative
assembly. The eNpeopIe have been saddIed
with heavy expense, and the State Printer
has accomplished one of his objects in ma
king an infamous charge against an upright
honorable man---got a fat job Of printing
at the erpense Qfthe' Stale! Party has had
an opportunity of feeding for a season on
reputation, IL the votesof the majority show
that the party in the House sat out the feast
to the last. Gorged as they were, we, do
not think single member who voted for the
adoption of the majority report, fully and
honestly believed Mr. Lloyd guilty ofmaking
the alterations. The majority in the
House, bot ratified the party decision in
Tinpan! They obeyed their nexorabe mas

RIGHT OF PErlrros.-The Argus at
tempts to cast odium upon this inestlmable
and lnalienable right, by stigmatizing Mr.
Kings resolution before the. Assembly con-
demning the late outrage in Congress, as
q" .d6oluionisn, under the usual disguise OF
championship for the Right Of Petition"
The people are not such stupid blockheads
as the Argus supposes. They. know full
well the difference betw f." Aboltionism'
and the Right of Petition" This is only
one of thousand evidences, that the Fed
eral Executive aims constantly to dictate all

by step upon the rights of the people.
Thanks to their discernment, they see
clealy the subtle serpent that has wound its
slimy folds around the Tree of Liberty: and

THR FIRST STEAMBOAT BUILT ON THE IL
LINoIs.--The Peoria Register says: We
omitted to mention last week, the arri-
val from Peru. on Monday, of the new
steamboat Ottawa, built in part, at Otta-
wa, added to at Peru, and then on her way
10 st. Louis, to receive the stroke. She is
ofthe very lightest draft--17 inches, light
and has a powerful engine, the design be-
ing 20 take two keels in tow in low water,
the steamer herself being light; so that
whenever there are II inches of water on
our bars, she will able to reach here with
100 tons of freight from St. Louis weekly.
Her length is 100 feet, breadth go, and the
cabin is laid off entirely in state rooms.
With the exception of the engine, which
was obtained from Pittsburg, the Ottawa is
of Illinois workmanship, the first steamboat
probably eve- built upon our river. The
owners reside in Ottawa. Empire State.

One of the most outrageous insults ever
offered to The American people, has recent
ly been .perpetrated by the House of Rep
resentatives. The House by a vote Of IA to
1903 have made an addition to its STAINING
RULES, by which any petition, memorial, or
resolution relating 10 the abolition of slave.
ry, or the SLAVE TRADE in the district of
Conmbie, or IN any state, or other territory
of the Bnon which may hereafter be pre-
sented to shat body, shall be REJECTED with
cut reading, hearing, reference, On any
consideration whatever.
Thus has one Of the most sacred rights,
right which the most arbitrary and despot-
ic government is compelled to respect, been
trampled upon and destroyed.
Yes, American! your representatives have
taken from you the sacred right of petition
the last refuge of the oppressed, the sole
resource of the weak and defenceless.
We cannot find language of reprobation,
sufficiently severe to repress our opinion of
the twenty six northern dough-faces, who
were SO far lost to all respect for principle
and virtue as to vote for this high handed,
and outrageous measure. To oui shame
we are compelled to acknowledge that six
of that number claim residence in this
state, but we cannot believe but that for this
insult to their constituents, they will receive
from them mark of disapprobation and
disgrace, SO deeply and indel5ly written
that neither time or repentance can effaee
1t.
1t is high time for the people to awake.
Your liberties are endangered by political
demagogues, who will surrender your dear
est and most valued rights for the paltry
purpose of advancing their own, or the ag-
grandizement of party. This is no idle
tale. II is truth, and one which we fear
will not be discovered by the people, until
they find their dearly, blood bought liber-
ties bartered away for mess of pottage.-
We do not envy the fame Of John b. We'll
ler,. isaac Parish, D. P. Leadbetter, Will
liam Mediii, Jonathan Taylor, and George
Sweeney, the members from this state who
voted away right which the most abject
individual has guaranteed to him by his
God.
There were four members from Slave hol-
ding states who would not surrender prin-
ciple for interest. The names Of John Bell,
M. P. Gentry, Joseph Underwood, and
Simeon H. Anderson, will be remembered
and honored by every friend of freedom.
We hope this base attempt by 20 north
ern members to support the sinking for
tunes Of Van Buren, and his party by sur
render of principle. honor and justice, will
not be forgotten by those who value the
rights Of man, and have any regard for
tile glorious doctrines contained in our Dec
laration Of Independence.

A correspondent of the Boston Courier,
makes some sensible suggestions upon the
subject of preventing the loss oflife by fires
on board of Steamboats,, by means of an
efficient and well organized police. He
suggests -
That there should be complete system
introduced on board every steamboat.
That there be corps which should have
charge of the fire engine and apparatus.
An officer and crew for each boat belong
ing 10 the Steamer.
Regular drills for instructng the hands
in their duty.
Signals for communicating with each 9TH
er, during times of confusion.
These suggestions, If judiciously carried
out, would, no doubt, add greatly to the
safety of travellers by steam, and would, in
most cases ensure presence Of mind and
consequently, the saving Of the vessel. -
But after all, there will never come perfect
security, until iron steamboats, are brough,
into use.
