TIE TWENTY-sE SEVENTH CONGRESS.

We lay before our readers, to-day, the closing
scenes of the Twenty Seventh Congress. On Friday
last at midnight, it closed its existence and is now
only among the things that have been. Its history is
one Of mngled good and evil, but iflhc future shall
prove by its results that the latter has ubounded
than the former, let it not be forgotten that nearly if
not ALL that has been, of evil, we must attribute to
the pesfdy Of unworthy and treacherous agents.
Eut time and space will not suffer us 10 enumerate
the acts Of Tins Congress. We may not dwell upon
the peculiar circumstances which beset and embar-
raised its deliberations, and exercised controlling
and most unfortunate influence upon all its subse-
quent proceedings. Buwe cannot leave the subject
without at least pointing in triumph to one monument
Of the intelligence. patriotism and devotion of the
Twenty Seventh Congress -a TARIFF combining the
principle Of REVENUE with DISSEMINATING DU
TIES. If this Congress had passed nothing else-if
the Tariff was the only remaining fruit, it would
still deserve the thanks and gratitude Of every true
American Already has the operation Of this system
proved its sauary character, in respect to one at
least, of the principles upon which was framed AL
ready has it checked excessive mportation-Arcady
has its beneficial effects been felt, in saving our me-
chanica and manufacturing interests from utter pros
automatically has it defeated the projects of for
eign capitalists, who have attempted to control our
Enthusiastically has it afforded opportunity for the
gradual and sure recovery of energy national
resources and enterprise well for the quiet but
sure accumulation of means, which will serve as the
reliable basis renewed prosperity soon let us
trust, to dawn upon our much suffering and oppressed
country.
For this we have to thank the patriotism, the in
tegence, the forbearance, under the most trying cir
cumstances, and the perseverance of tho Wings of
the 9th Congress. If this was all the good they
had done; il this alone Of all they had accomplished
deserved grateful thanks, even then how immeas-
uraby less is all the evil it may have done, rather
may have been unable to prevent from taking place,
compared with the good The time has not yet
come when the people may rightly appreciate the
merits and the real deserts of the Congress that has
passed away. But it is impossible long to deceive
and nslead an intelligent people. The msis which
the paid mouth pieces of power and corruption have
for time thrown over the popular judgment, in ref
ercnce 10 the deserts of Congress, rapidly yield
ing to the omnpetent voice of truth; and the day is
not fur distant when, with all its limited powers for
good, the whole country will do fall justice to the
Congress that has been, and lament that its
has so few Of its virtues and many more than its
defects

STATE OF SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY.

In this State, the introduction of slaves from abroad
has been prohibited since 1888. At the pre- ent ses-
sion the Legislature strong effort has been made
to modify this prohibition far to allow persons to
bring in slaves for their own use but was rejected
in the Senate by vote of 81 to IA
y mixture of motives probably induced this result
some good, and some not creditabe, but on the
whcle,we glad observe the firmness with which
restriction is maintained. The existing stocks of
slave property are doubtless more valuable to their
owners, so long us the supply be kept up only by
by the natural increase, bu: the other hand the con
dton of the slaves is undoubtedly much better, than
if the State involved in the speculatons and
chances Of an unrestricted slave market

Correspondence of the New York American.
Washington, Thursday, Jan. 5.


In the morning hour. the business of "the
Jackson fine" was taken up in continuation.
Mr.. Gushing made demonstration on this
question which satisfied the astonished
House, that low as had been his previous
self-degredation, "beyond the lowest depth
there was deeper STILL He made speech
that for fulsome, sycophantic adulation Of
the hero of New Orleans was never equal.
led by the rankest effusions of his vilest
partizans in the times of old Jacksonism,
when this same MIR. Gushing was notorious
as among the most violent and bitter enc
mics of the Hero, denying him the posses
sion of any merit. He now glorified the
battle of New Orleans and its hero, and ur.
ged that this was the time to do justice to
him. being about the anniversary of that
victory. But for the fact that the eighth of
January came on sunday this year, he
would have insisted that The final passage of
the bill should occur on that very day. As
it was, the next best thing was 10 pass it
before that day. The glory of thus passing
this bill, he considered nearly equal to that
of the battle itself.
The whole speech was the most worth
less sophomorical rant ever uttered. 1t was
unworthy even of Caleb Cushing. Such a
tumble of glory and blood and thunder and
guns and trumpets, and "Anglo Irish' |
never heard before. The House roared
in derision at this ridiculous and useless
demagogism.
He concluded by moving to amend Mr..
Brownies resolution of instructions by sub
shutting for it an order TO suspend all debate
in Committee of the Whole, on the Jackson
bill this day, and TO take the question at
once. The Speaker decided this out of or
der as an amendment, since it was privil-
eyed motion and could be moved by itself
any time.
Mr. Gushing then tried to get the floor
again, but found himself cut off by John Q.
Adams TO his great horror, knowing, as he
did, what punishment he must expect.

the trade prohibited, and that the commit
tee on the district be instruc ted to repor, +,

This resolution was prefaced by urc
amble stating that the law of 1920 declar
ed the foreign slave trade to be piracy and
punishable with death, that a traffic IN
slaves is and has long been carried on in tn.
districtIof Columbia, in the very heart o,
the nation, within sight of the President,
house and the capitol, involving all ia;
principles repugnant 10 human rights whici
characterize the foreign slave trade, and
that the constitution provided for the sessio,
of seat of government over which con.
gress should exercise exclusive jurisdiction
that the Representatives of all the state
might meet on common ground where Iam
involving the peculiar principles of any d
states should not operate, declaring that 1.
llws authorizing the slave trade in this dis
trict ought to be repealed, and inslructirl

bill therefor.
