prosnerty, the character IL has given to our egls
Ietiye assemblies is alone sufficient 10 justify the
severest censures OF The enemies CT free govern

It's friends at bone. 1t is proveroia that the bu-
siness Of the nation is almost habituatlv eHloar-
assed By the influence OF :his spirit IN Congress
and there Is scarce Legislature Ia the Union IN
which It's effects are not deplora5y evident, wn'ie

human blood.
No longer ago than the 4th inst. the lower branch
OF the Alabama Legislature was thrown into utter
disorder by persona. fight between two OF It's

separated, until aftec Mr.. c. had received wound
in the head committee Of inSesrgn,ioR was
raised to report on the subject.
The manners and morals of an order of men who
are thrown into the Halls Of legislation through
oary ufcence are still further illustrated by some
If the debates in the Ohio Legislature. We add
a few passages from the regular reports OF the
Cleveland Herald:

We add but one other incident, letter TO the

1irins cannon at the capitol on the Sabbath day IN
,,ead of the day afterwards. By this 1t would seem
nat they regarded Gen. jackson more than they rev.

House of Representatives persisng TO celebrate the

SO much for high party feeling.
