CONGRESS.

We are glad to perceive, from our Congress
sional proceedings of yesterday, that some OF
the Democratic members are disposed to do JUS
tice to the President, by properly approaching
the merits Of his late Annual Message Among
whom we are glad to see Mr.. Kennedy, of In.
diana, who is Democrat of the JefTersonan
school, and whose views, in relation to the ex.
ploded american Sysiem,n are those which
were entertained by that genuine Republican
and whose policy it was 10 con6ne the Govern.
ment TO legitimate exercise Of The powers del.
egated by the Constitution, and leaving those Of
doubtful character TO the States and the
People.
We are also glad to see the same liberality OK.

FOR the MAprsoNiAN

FOR TIE MADisONiAN.
Ma EDrroR II certainly does not go far to prove
a mans political honesty 10 see him ever ready
TO sscribe base and mcrcenary motives TO every word
and action Of those who may occasionally give eX-
preston TO their honest convictions, respecting public
and measures, merely because those convictions
threaten conflict with party interests and the rigid
rules Of pary,discipline. This class Of unprincped
croaker, who doubtless mistake the reflection Of
their own dishonest vissgcs r those Of more hon.
orable men have been furnished with a favorable
opportunity for the exhibition Of their leading traits
Of character In the independent and patriotic course
recently adopted by Gov sH,Ssoy, Of Ohio. No
sooner has this distinguished individual discharged
an honest obligation due the present Administration,
by every dsin,eresed Democrat in the country, than
the Globe and such like rough-shodr dictators, set
up the shout Of bargain and SALE gud pro q,lo,
official patronage, &C, which only proves that
the poiis and other similar considerations, are ever
uppermost in their own minds, and really form the
basis Of their own political actions
But there Is evidently more in these assaults upon
the able Executive OF Ohio than at first glance meets
the eye They fear the effect Of this noble example
on other influential members Of the Republican party
and her ohiy hope m aTerting such disastrous conse-
quences depends on promptly robbing him OF bi. IN

ABOLITIONISM.

We end, in looking over some tables Of New
York Elections, that the vote annually gwen
for the Abolition ticket in that State dpring the
Ia four years, his been as follows in 1910,
279si 10 lsll, $685. 10 lsi2, 1888; and in
lsi3, 1852. during The last year it appears
that il has more than doubled. This shows q
rapid rate Of increase; and although the num-
Der Of votes is still small compared with the sg-
gregate of votes given in the State, it is more
than sufficient to change the result Of an cleo

to you by VIM. Sturges, Abbyu II. Lawrence and
T. w. Ward, Esqs. Of Boston, desiring the services
OF Captain VIM. ii. swift, OF the Corps of Topogra-
phica Engineers, 10 make certain inquiries and
aminatons IN relation 10 the Iliino and Michigan

II gives me great pleasure TO contribute any thing
in the power OF the Department of War the tenden.
cy Of which may be TO accompl sh the completion of
that canal, which will form the great and imporla
connection so long expected and anxously desired
between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan The
selection of Captain Swift for this duty is an admi-
rabe one, from his high pers nal character his
scientific attainments and his great practical expe-
rience, the most implicit confidence can be reposed
in the result Of his labors You will, therefore be
pleas, TO detail him for this duy, and direct him TO
hold himself in readiness for its performance on the
shortest notice.
hail this effort as an evidence of returning conf
dence abroad well in the stability Of our nstitu-
lions in the value Of the stupendous internal i'm
provements which States have commenced and
in part completed. The depression Of the monetary
concerns Of country has affected individuals cor
porations and Governments and rendered them I'M
able, although not unwilling, to meet their engage
ments. The recuperative energy of the people how
ever is exhibiting It's power, and the day is not far
distant when return OF confidence will lead 10 full
restoration of public credit.
No matter whether the expenditures Of the State
Governments have been wise or unwise the debt,
have been Incurred on the faith Of the States The opv
inquiry which the people make is Have they been IN,

OF thinking upon this subject has not been flly un-

IN our citizens, which will be exhibited by them and
be eventually appreciated by the world at large
