Under this caption, the editor OF the

reply to previous one, which appeared in
our papet We bow 10 the chastising rod,

You are correct. Mr. Editor, in assuming
our position to be that Mr. Polk is ''mino-

We also consider the consent Of Mexico,

Your party, Mr. Editor, profess to be the
advocates of universal equality, and your
pens-sharp and blunt-are directed against

CONGRESS.

Since the disposition Of the Texas
question, the House have taken up the
Oregon Bill. upon which Mr. Adams
made an able speech. Claiming for
himself the credi! of inserting the ar,-
Gle in the Spanish Treaty; which Sc
cures our right to the country.
In the Senate, MI Berrien, from the
Judiciary Committee, reported bin TO
amend the Naturalization Laws; and
Mr. Merrick. from the Post Office
Committee, bill for the reduction Of
the rates Of postage.
The joint resolution for the Annexa-
ton of Texas. passed by the House.
was read twice and committed TO the
committee on Foreign relations.
In the House, the Oregon discussion
was continued and the Fertilization.
Pension and Pos. Office Bills, reported
to the House and passed without de.
bate.
These appropriations as recommend.
ed by the Committee Of Ways and
Means. are $24,647, 1884. of which
Sll ,285,2l2. is for the Army, Forlifi-
cations, Munitions, Pensions. Harbors,
and 80, 1856, for the Navy.
The Bill to establish the Smithsonian
Institute, has passed the Senate, and
will probably be got through the
House. Where is the money to come
from! The whole bequest is invested
in Arkansas State Bonds, on which the
interest even, is no. paid.
The Legislature Of Arkansas. have
adjourned, making no provision for the
interest on their State debt and leaving
an empty Treasury. This is one Of
the purely Democratic Arcadias, where
they elect Judges by the people, and
hold corporations in holy horror.
A proclamation, signed by Arthur
Tappan, and others, Abolitionists, has
been issued for a day Of fasting and
prayer, on the Texas behalf. Repent
ance is something towards canceling
previous sin; and we are glad The me-
mory Of playing second fiddle to this
same Annexation by voting for Mr.
Polk, stirs up late remorse of con-
science.
