were talking with Mr.. Webster.

We expect the case to be closed to-day; per.

finish the work, another day may be required !;
but it is expected the job will be concluded to-
day. Religious privileges and monopolies, the
boundary, slavery, British interest, British
agencies, and the bastard character of the treaty.

WASHINGTON, M arch 50 P. M.
The Senate concluded their secret session at
o'clock, and Immediately adjourned. The
final vote on the treaty had not been taken up to
that hour, nor had any material change occurred
since the day before. The discussion was ami
mated on both sides.

CIRCULATION OF NEwsPAPKRs.-Someo of tho
country journals have taken leaf from us, in the
way of presenting before the public the circula-
ton Of their newspapers. Two of the Albany
journals talk little in this way-the Evening

1t has an immense circulation in the State of New
York, and even attempts TO give figures. These
pre'ensions, however, sink into farce before the
well established fact, authenticated by the So
lemnlty OF an oath, that the Knickerbocker, of
that city, journal making no such boast, has
the post office advertising. Indeed, the AIbauy

INSTRUMENTATION OF THE CooLIEs-INrELEI.
eENcE FROM THE BRITISH WEST INDIES The
West Indian, to the 3lst January, published at
Barbados, has been received.
The reduced rates of labor, adopted few
months since through some of the West India
Islands, appear to have met with little or no ap-
probation. The greatest discomfort prevails,
and in many plantations scenes of outrage have
been perpetrated. At Grenada, and at Demerara,
thelsborers have not only struck work, but have
proceeded TO acts of insubordination and VIC.
lence which were deemed sufficient to warrant
the aid of military. At Georgetown, on the 2lst,
considerable excitement prevailed Several acts
Of incendiarism had been perpetrated, and pro-
clamauon had been published by the Governor,
offering reward for the conviction of the guilty
parties, and counselling the aborers 10 be order

their wages.

Worthy of Imitation.

A short time since we received a letter
from a friend, requesting us TO put her name
on the list of donors TO the Western Anti
Slavery Society for $50, and that of her Sis
ter for $50! These donations were wholly
unsolicited Those who made them knew,
however, that the Society needed funds, and
that the friends of the cause should furnish
them. No two men in the West have done
so much tor the Society this year in a pecu-
mary way, as have these sisters, whose en-
ample, we trust, will stimulate others 10 ac-
tion-to do what they can.
The Executive Committee last week sent
out a circular (asking for funds.) to some
who they supposed would be willing TO aid
them, but it is to be hoped that none will
wait for a formal invitation TO furnish The ne
cessary funds for carrying forward the enter
prise. Let all who have to spare-and there
are but few but can do SOmething-give ac-
cording TO their means and their interest in
the cause.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE

Was to have commenced its session the first
Monday of this week, and probably did so,
unless the adoption of some one Of the revo-
lutionary plans suggested or limited at by the
members of either party, have prevented the
assembling Of a quorum. 1t is to be hoped
that during the present session, the
Black Laws may be wiped from the statute
book Of Ohio, and that the Legislature will,
dhis winter, do for the colored man all that
can be done by legal enactments TO give him
political and social equality, while the State
and National Constitution are so unjust to-
ward him.
While Ohio is so meanly tyrannical, OPP
pressing a people, who, because of their CON-
plexion are cut off from the sympathy and
aid of their fellow citizens, she has no right
to boast loudly Of her freedom, or pride her
self upon the equality of those who dwell
apoA her soil.

THE NEGRO TESTIMONY LAw.-This law
is a disgrace to our statute book, and ought
to be repealed. Its operation in practice, if
the Judges Of our Courts, who understand
that matter better than any other persons, are
worthy of credit, is always against the peace
of the State, and the best interests Of white
persons, not TO speak Of its ~palpable injustice
Of the blacks. 1t ought to have been repeal
ed years ago, rather it ought never 10 have
been enacted. The prejudice which IL the low
er counties of the. State have effeclually resist
ed all efforts from the north for its repeal,
have for years tended to produce a state OF
feeling in the northern counties, which In
the recent elections has severely tried the
Wing party in on State. We take this &C.
casion to repea, what has been over and over
again said in the Gazette, that the law ought
to be promptly and Internationally repealed.
The men and the party that move in this
matter, will render an essential service 10 the
credit and well being of the State OF Ohio

determined, that let others do as they will,
fhey will serve the God Of Freedom in sim
gleucss Of heart, following not after strange
gods.
The Free Soil organization may, or may
not be Z" the Hope Of a better day." but sure
we are that it is not the day itself, for it does
not embody in its principles genuine anti
slavery doctrine. If it is used as a means 10
lead the people up to a higher position, and
not regarded as an end, marking a spot beyond
which none need progress, it will doubtless
be a useful agent in preparing the way for
the Gospel Of Freedom. The preaching of
John, and the ministration Of his water bap.
iism, would have been a curse instead of a
blessing, had he proclaimed himself the FUN
der and establisher Of a religion, and thus
directed the attention oil the people from the
higher mission Of Jesus, and his baptism Of
the Holy Ghost and Of fire. But John came
as the voice of one crying in the wilderness
prepare We the way of the Lord, make his
paths straight-his mission was 10 lead the
people to one mightier than he. Such, we
believe is the appropriate work Of the Free
Soil organization; and the administration OF
its water baptism should be regarded but as
a preparation for the reception of that holier
ord which all true Disunionists have
had dispensed to them.
