A GREAT BARGAIN AT HAND.
Notice is hereby given, that pub
lie sale will take place at the White
House on the 4th of March next, of a
splendid collection ofRegal Furniture;
consisting of Tabourets, Lounges Di-
vans, Damask Curtains, Gold Spoons,
Hemmed Kitchen Towels, and va
rious other articles too tedious to men
ton, being the same collection emu
merated by Col. Benton in his famous
description of the EAST Room" dur
ing Mr.. Adams administration-(but
which articles were neither used or
purchased by that President, but re-
served for Mr.. Van Buren,, as better
suited to Democratic President hab-
its.) Early notice of sale is hereby
given, with request that the same be
published in the Court Journals of
Europe, Egypt, and Turkey-that the
Princes and Potentates of those conn
tiles may supply themselves-and the
editors or publishers of said Journals
will insert said notice, and send their
bills to Kinderhook for payment
Terms of sale, Cash, in gold or silver,
or Treasury Notes, provided said
notes can be discounted at the Bank
Of America.
A great bargain is offered at this
sale, as the coming occupant" be-
ing an old fashioned Democrat, has
neither knowledge Of, or use for, these
IuxuFies.
Also, at the same time and place,
will be offered for sale the Official Or
gan and Extra, with the services oil
their respective editors. If the value
ofthese be estimated at their cost to
the people, the undersigned can'l
speak too highly in their praise, al
though many do class them among the
bad speculations Of the times, costing
more than they will bring. They will
be found, however, admirably calcula-
ted for hard currency countries. The
people ofthis country being ignorant
of their value, will not probably bid
high for retaining them, and a great
bargain may be expected. Terms Of
sale made to suit convenience Of pur-
chasers. BY order Of the People.

Extract from Mr.. Webster's speech u
reply to Mr.. Hayne, January 81
1910.
Atthe very first Congress, petition.
on the subject of slavery were presen
ted, if mistake not, from differen
States. The Pennsylvania Societ,
for promoting the abolition of slavery
took the lead, and laid before Con
gress memorial, praying Congress t.
promote the abolition by such power
as it possessed. This memorial wa
referred, in the House OF Representa-
tives, to select committee, CONSISTING
of Mr.. Foster of New Hampshire, MI
, Gerry of Massachusetts, Mr.. Hunting
don ofConnecticut, Mr.. Lawrence G
1 New York, Mr.. Linnickson Of NeI
: Jersey, Mr.. Hartly of Pennsylvania

them, sir, Northern men, as yeu wi
+. observe, but the last. This committe
/ made report, which was committe
TO committee Of the whole House
= and there considered and discussed o
several days and being amended, a
1 though without mate. ial alteration,
! was made to express three distinC
propositions on the subject of SLAYER
and the slave trade-First, in tn
words Of the Constitution, that Con
gress cannot, prior to the year 1905
prohibit the migration or importatio
> OF such persons as any of the State
; then existing should think proper t
admit; second, that Congress ha
authority 10 restrain the citizens OF tn
! United States from carrying ON the Al
rlean slave trade for the purpose {
supplying foreign countries. On thi
proposition, our early laws agains
those who engage in that traffic, ar
founded. The third proposition, an
j that which bears on the present ques

terms
/ "REsoLvED.-That Congress hav
] no authority to interfere in the eman
i cipation of slaves, or in the treatmer
: ofthem in any Of the States-it remain

provide rules and regulations therein

( This resolution received the sane

as early as March 1890. And nov
sir, the honorable gentleman will ALLOW
me to remind him, that not only tn
