CONGRESSIONAL.

We clip the following items in relation to
the action of the Senate upon the Oregon and
Texas questions, from the New York Tfi-
buno. But little is being done in the House
except STUMBLING about Nativeism, and soms
petty pariizan matters. Oregon a, present
seems to be the all absorbing topic.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29th, 1915.
Your readers are doubtless anxious to know
whether there is any danger of a rupture with
Great Britain on the Oregon question. |
have several times given it as my opinion that
we shall have no War. There are two par
ties here now, distinct from the old parties.
One is tor buster, not because they expect
War, but they hope to keep up such a state
of excitement that they may again get into
power. For this purpose they stimulate eve-
ry base passion, and harp upon the whole of
Oregon, while they support an administration
| which has offered to settle on the 10th degree
of the North Latitude, as the boundary
They would not fight on any account but
they hoped that enough of their own party
would vote with the Wings to defeat their
own mad schemes, while they might retain
the glory Of being brave.
The Texas Resolutions and Bills are all
ready to be transmitted. rs soon as they re-
ceive them at the Capital of Texas, an eles-
lion for two Members Of Congress will be or
dered.
The talk to day is that there was some
thing in the rumor mentioned a day or two
since relating to some new revolution in Mex
leo. II is said that some information is rev
in this Civ, leading to the conclusion that
movements of Paroles may result in the re-
call of Santa Anna and : change Of conduc: on
the Texas affairs.
Mr.. HANNEGAN of Indiana brought III some
Resolutions declaring our right 70 Oregon to
81 deg. 40 and that it would be a betrayal
that. These Resolutions were laid over.
DECEMBER, Goth,
The proceedings of the Senate were impor.
tant to-day. Mr.. CALHOUN took ground a.
gainst Mr.. HAHNEGAN's Resolutions! As an
amendment to them, he proposed a series Of
Resolutions declaring that the Administration
was iustifable in Offering to take the 49th
parallel as a boundary, and that the question
was still a fit subject for negotiation. | have
not time to give you a report of the debate,
nor am ] able, as | was attending to the de-
bate in the House. You will find it in the
morning papers. The Senate soon after ad-
journed.
Gen. DARNELL is still delayed here, some.
what unaccountably, with the Texas Resolu.
lions and Bills. They have not yet beer
all signed. 1t is expected that they will be
ready for despatch tomorrow evening, wher
he will leave for New Orleans and thence by
r the Red River route for the capital of Texas
He hopes to overhaul Capt. Todd of the Tex
an Navy whol left here two or three days 81 Ct
with the intelligence that the admission res
olu,ions had passed. 1t seems to be a fxe,
> principle that this Texas business shall b.
attended with the greatest possible expense

WASHINGTON; Saturday, Dec. y.
Everything now looks pacific in this quar-
ter. 1t is just found out that nobody wants
war. and that there is no need of one.
Mr.. Calhoun from the moment of his arri-
val here, has eXerted himself to calm the
agitated waters. lie has counselled admira-
bly, and is still engaged in promoting a good
understanding between the British Minister
and our government. A number of conversa-
tons, all of the most pacific and friendly ma
ture, lave taken place between Mr.. Buch-
anan and Nj. Packenham.
MIR. Calhoun's next object was to gain
time-to prevent any action on the part OF
the House or Senate, on the Oregon subject,
till we can hear again from England.

6rWe have received a communication
from James Barnaby in reply to B. b. Davis,
which we cannot possibly find room for this
week. Also one from the latter, which mus
''bile its time''- it would hardly be fair play
to give two to one. Other communications
have also been received to which we shall
give attention as soon as possible.

"Throwing away his vote!' When the
princes, governors, captains, judges, treasur-
ers, councillors, sheritls, and all the rulers,
were gathered together on the plain of Dura
and at the sound of music, all the people, the
nation, and the languages, fell down and wor-
shipped the golden image, THREE Je,Cish cap
tire, stood erect, and r0fei against IdoiatrY.-
Did they throw away their votes! Let Ne
buchadnezzer's decree in honor of their God
answer"
w clipped the above from an Eastern
Liberty party paper, and think the editor must
have been hard pushed for a case to make out
his point. The Jewish captive ro'ed against
ldolatry in the same way that the Disunion-
lists vote against slavery. They stood erect,
like true men, and refused to sustain the idol
a,rous DEGREES Of Northumberland, or promise
SO to do. Had they sworn TO ''all down and
worship the golden image that Nebuchadncz-
yer the king had set up" the tyrant would
never have done honor to their God, seeing
they had themselves dishonored him.
The Liberty party version of the passage
referred to, is probably rendered in accor-
dance with the same principles Of interpreta-
'tion by which the United States Constitution
is construed into an Anti-Slavery document.
The history Of the Hebrew children, instead
of being ar argum ntin favor Of voting, shows
most clearly the potency of moral principle.
1t was not through the ballot box, neither
by their official influence that they obtained
the decree in honor Of the great An. They
had been degraded in the sight of the entire
empire,had been bound and cast into the fe-
~ furnace, and rot until they had felt their
weakness, did they know the strength oftheir
testimony 70 the Truth, or comprehend the
o.nnipotenco Of moral Pow er.

ing more than did those horrible tales which
were told Of the cannibal rites of the carly
christians. The &" abuse" which abolitionists
heap upon the Methodist church, we doubt
not is hard to be borne, and the more so, as
the charges are true. As to the society of
Friends, we presume that none of its mem
bers will thank Elisha Bates for stepping for
ward in its defence, we should think that he
would be the last man they would select for
their feed or.unfee'd attorney.
We should Judge by the last paragraph of
the Union's editorial, that the writer fear
that the cry of infdel is too nearly worn out
TO do much for the church. II it were now,
as formerly, accompanied by the dungeon and
the rack, t%ortures and faggots, the religionists
of this land would doubtless soon get up an
,8uto De Re for the especial benefit Of all dis
believers in a pro-slaveIy church. But as
the cry of infdel has lost its power over ma
ny, he tries the efficacy Of that of traitor, and
bids us leave our Fathcr-land, as though the
tyrant power Of this government could right
fully demand of us slavish submission or ex-
ils. Such doctrine will do for those who
think that mans DEGREES should set aside the
laws of God-we are not Of them. We
choose to remain where we are, not to sustain
u pro-slavery church or government, but to
testify against them, not to upbuild the shrine
of Moloch, but to destroy it,
"And rear another altar there
TO truth, and love, and mercy given;
Where Freedoms gift, and Freedoms
prayer
Shall call an answer down from heaven"

fashion! He says: 1T seems to me som.

A PARTY.

We are sometimes told that Liberty party
is as much of a moral s%uasion agent, as it is a
political fundamentally. We have always
denied this upon our own authority, and are
now glad to be able to contradict it upon the
authority of DR.. Bailey OF the Herald, and
moral suasion character of Liberty party
Listen to what the DR.. says;
'.The Liberty Party being purely Political,
has no right to question a Candidates opin-
ions, any FURTHER Than Mey concern ioPies on
mhich he may be hUfuAy caHcd upon 10 act in
his public capacity; or TO intermeddle with his
ecclesiastical or religious relations"

The PENNSYLVANIA FREEMAN Of Phila.
is now issued weekly, instead OF semi-month-
ly as heretofore. This argues well for the
Anti-Slavery cause in Eastern Pa. We hope
the publishers will receive sufficient support
to enable them to enlarge it, which we sup
pose will be the next move. We learn with
great pleasure that our friend, MARY GREw,
has consented to become enc of its editors.
The PRtsoYER's FRIEND is the new title
Of the former "Hangman'' Of Boston. We
think the change Of the name a great improve
ment, and trust that it is indicative of the
speedy arrival of that day when every hang
man in our land, whether clerical or uncler-
ical, shall be converted into the prisoners
friend. If we mistake not, this is the frs
paper in the lcorH which was established fol
the purpose of abolishing the death penalty
Those who are interested in this question vii
do well to subscribe for it. 1t is an interes
ting sheet and conducted with ability; it i
published weekly, and comes at 81 pc

word "white"in the Constitution, and in re-
gard TO the abrogation of the death peusliy-
a penalty, which would be a disgrace to Iny
other people than the highly protesting. bu,
only half civilized slvages Of America
We beg pardon Of the Savage-the gailows
belongs exclusively to protesting Christians,
and not to barbariins. The Black laws will
probably be given the go by also. Such
has been our opinion from the first, and we
see that the editor of the Oii9 STATE journal,
who has an opportunity to know how tho
pulse Of the wing parry beats, does not an
t,cipate any favorable action from the Leg
~i-latlIe on that subject during the present
session.
The Bill in relation 20 the License lave
has not been definitely acted upon. 1t was
before the SENATE on tn 3fd, Of January, and
was re-comnittcd 10 the committee on the Ju-
dietary. While the question of recommit-
ment was pending, Mr.. EwING moved to a.
mend the melton by instructing the commit
tee to report a bill repeating all laws authori-
zing the granting of licenses; on which mo-
ton he dem1ndcd the ayes and noes. Mr..
Ewing was in favor of allowing every man
who chose, to retail spirituous liquors. He
did not believe that the cause of temperance
required Legislation, any more than the cause
Of religion.

S.A MUEL LEWIS.

We understand that the Liberty party Con-
vontion which met recently at Columbus,
nominated Samuel Lewis as candidate for
Governor. The estimation in which his An
ti-Sla,ery character is held by some of that
party may be gathered from the following
communication Of a correspondent Of the
Cleveland american.
If the Liberty party of Ohio, is as well
drilled as the Liberty party of New York,
those who now object to the nominee will
wheel into the ranks and vote for Lewis, as
did those in New York, who, some three
years since with Gcrrit Smith at their head,
objected so strenuously 10 Alvan Stewards
nomination, and afterwards cast their ballots
for him. We mink it was Samuel Adams who
said of the signers of the Declaration Of In
dependence, that sunless they hung together
they would be very sure to hang separately. :
Political parties have ga feeling sense a:
Friends would say, of tho application Of thi.
30 themselves.

We arc grati6ed to learn that the sur
vey Of this important link in the commu-

by Maj T. S. Brown and his Assistant

two months, by their prior engagements
on the New York and Erie Rail Road
The reconnaissance of the entire line,
we understand, was completed on Mon
day, and the results ascertained are even
more favorable 10 an early completion OF
the work, at moderate expense, than
had at any time been anticipated by its
most saDguine projectors. A very thor

timates, accompanied by carefully pre-
pared map Of the route, will be esented d
