The slavery Restriction In Congress-

and am constrained say that thus far the indi-
cations are less favorable than had hoped before
coming here There will be serious, possibly fatal
defections from the triumphant vote given on re-
cent incidental test in the Honse. Already three
Of the Loco Foco Members from our State are
named as Ger lain 10 back out from their late ANTI
Slavery vote while from other quarters 1t is known
that several Members sustain the Proviso from
fear Of their constituents and the general current
Of Northern sentiment and not from any nearly
devotion TO tho principle it afirms think II not
uncharitable % say that the New Hampshire and
most Of the Maine men are in this category. The
Ohio and Michigan Loco Focos are yet sore On 81
80 aud the Veto Of the Harbor Bill, and may stand
their ground but If so il will be hatred Of Polk
rather than Of Slavery. Indiana and Illinois VIII
give Slavery two or three more votes If the Admin
istrarion urgently requires them, while New York
and Pennsylvania have several on the hoor who
already defeated and ruined with their consttu'
cnts have no remaining hope but in the sunshine
of Court favor. Why should not any OF these
earn Consulship or half Emission as Mr.. c. J lnger-
soil earns the French Embassy Beside the new
Ten Regiments afford fat Offices in which some OF
the martyrs Of Poks unpopulsrity will gladly lind
consolation for their woes Those who have no
stomach for fighting in person have yet sons or other
relatives who would gladly glisten in epaulettes

treat any friend OF Liberty and Justice holding a
seat in the House who may now be absent IRON
this City to hasten TO his seat at the earliest mo-
ment. Do not rely on the apparent strength OF the
former vote for it is deceptive. Men who dare not
vote wrong may be persuaded to keep out OF the
way OF voting at all How can any man entitled TO

1t is bat Just to the Barnbuner Wright
Members from our State to say that every one Of
them is firm for the Proyiso and active in its sup
port They cannot be seduced even TO avoid
vote by any consideration and their exertions will
confirm and inspirit others. They have entered
heart and soul into the good work and any failure
which may occur will be encountered through no
fault Of theirs
But suppose the Proviso carried on the direct
vote by a small majority and now the bill TO which
1t 10 affixed has to be passed. That bill proposes
20 place in Mr. Folks hands Three Millions of Dol
lars to make Peace with. The Members from the
Slave States will to man vote against 1t, because
Of the Proviso. Then hear of good and stanoh
Northern Wings inclined TO vote the same way be.
cause Of their hostility to putting so large sum
loosely into the hands Of the President. | trust
these will think better OF the matter, and waive
their objections in view of the immense and endu-
ring consequence of the Proviso. 1t must be very
bad bill indeed to which that should not reconcile
an advocate of Universal Freedom. do hope no
Wing from the Free States will, on mature reiec
tion, withhold his support from the bill
Bot suppose il safely through the House it has
st to run the gauntlet OF the Senate wherein the
Slave States have now a decided majority. Can it
pass therei II Southern Senators will vote as
their judgments shall dictate. hope it may. IL is
% palpaby wrong to plant Slavery in regions from
which it has been eradicated that nothing but a
dread Of misapprehension and popular passion at
home can induce several Southern Senators to vote
against it And yet the jealousy and sensitiveness
Of the Slavehodng interest is intense that can
but hope for a favorable result
And suppose it triumphantly through both
Houses has stiIl to brave the President and the
Veto. But will not look farther now. My inn
preston is that the chances decidedly against
the enactment Of the Proyiso a, this Session. H C
