REMARKABLE.-A gentleman in New Jer.
sey, near Philadelphia, had been for a long time
sick, and was treated in the usual way for an affec.
ton Of The lungs by two eminent physicians, until
the disease assumed such a malignant form that
they declared the patient had a confirmed consump.
tion-that medicine could do no more, and he
must die. His breath was so affected by the dis.
ease that no one could stay IN his room but a short
time. At this stage, when all hope had fed, .
friend gave him a bottle of Wistar's Balsam Of
Wild Cherry, declaring that at any rate it could do
him no harm. He touk it and grew much better.
He continued the use of it, and by using three or
faur bottles was completely cured.
We shall have the full particulars of the above
case in a few days, duly certified, so that no one

Another AtrOciouS Outrage.

Washington Correspondence Qfhe True Democrat.
Yesterday, soon after the House adjour ned,
three or four fellows from Alexandra seized a
free negro near the Capitol, who was in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Hall of the United States Hotel, and
attempted to drag him off by force. Mr.. Hall
happened to be passing by at the moment in

and drag him off, Mr.. Hall held his grasp, and
finally prevailed upon them to take him into a
carriage and before magistrate. He wished me
to accompany him. did so, and the case
of the colored man was made known to
me on the way there. He was formerly slave
but has been a resident Of The District sixteen
years. His master died some years since, and
he permitted him to labor to obtain money to
purchase himself He had paid some three or
four hundred dollars, for which he had his re-
ceipts. By law of the District, if slave is

paper, thus notices the New Hampshire Senator
The Hon john P. HALE.-If any one man in this
political confederacy, is deserving of the gratitude
of the twenty millions of citizens comprising it, that
man is John P. Hale, member of the United States
Senate from New Hamsphire. He has gained for
himself an honorable distinction during the last few
weeks that will be more lasting than the Union ITSELF
The proceedings in Congress that have followed and
grown out of the escape of eighty slaves from
the city of Washington the capital of the land of the
Free will be indebly written upon the pages of our
countys history, and Mr. Hae's name will stand there
with the admiration, not only of the American citizen,
but of all the civilized world.
He has stood alone in that political body, the u S.
Senate, not even Northern Senator, many of whom
have made great pretensons in the of freedom,
came to his rescue, in the time of trial. We repeat
no man stands more prominently meritorous before
the American people than John P. Hale.

GrOundIeSs Complaint.

Northern paper, some time since, denounced Mr..
Hale for not having introduced bill in the Senate
for the abolition of slavery in the District of Colum-
bia. The Ant-Savery members of the House have
been arraigned the charge of similar delinquency.
People should make themselves well acquainted with
all the facts in case before they venture to pronounce
Judgment. Bills can be introduced in two ways-on
leave, or by committee. A member gives notice that
he intends to ask leave to bring in bill On sub.
sequent day he asks leave but it is for the House to
say whether he shall leave; and till this be granted
there cannot be a word of discussion. If he move
suspension of the rules, to enable him to offer it,
two-lirds vote is required to carry the notion Thus
on every side he finds his way completely blocked
Mr. Hale gave notice Of his intention to ask leave to
bring in bill merely to suppress riots, &c. The next
day, he asked leave, but no vote TAKEN suited
the purposes Of the extreme slavery men to have
"fare up" The next day, and the next, he urgently
desired to call up the question of leave, but baf
fled by an overwhelming majority. And yet queru-
lous people at the North seem to think all that Sen
ator Representative has to do is to stand up send
his bill to the Clerks table, have it received read
committed, and discussed. Let them spend week
in attending Congress- and they might have their eyes
opened.
The other mode of introducing bill, is by report
from committee. But the essential preliminary in this
case is, that the Committee report Now, it so hap
pens that the Committees on the District of Column
ba in both Houses constituted, that they would
rather, if any thing must be done, report bills in ia
of, than against slavery, 1t is precisely because
members are so hampered by complicated rules, that
debates always going on, out of time and place.
member, finding that the House is determined to
keep back the Territorial bills avails himself of the
consideration of the Appropriation bills to discuss the
whole subject of territorial acquisition and territorial
slavery. Indeed, as the Appropriation bills must be
acted upon, and as they have some connection with
almost every interest of the country it is the habit of
members to discuss just what they please, and what
they cecnot find chance discuss at any other time.
| We hope this statement may serve to make the
good people little more charitable towards their Rep
esentatives.-Nati0naL Era,

would obviate objections made on the part of the
South to the 18th section.
Mr. Bright accepted the amendment.
Mr. Westcott spoke Of the opposition as of an inef

Mr. Foote replied.
Mr. Underwood addressed the Senate in favor of
leaving the people of Oregon to act themselves on the
question of slavery, and offered amendment to that
effect
Mr.. Dayton inquired if the Senator from Kentucky
admitted that Congress had right to exclude slavery
from the territory Of Oregon
Mr. Underwood submitted that Congress had such
power, while Oregon remained territory He hoped
the whole subject would be left to the people of the
territory
Mr. Baldwin of Connecticut followed.
After he had concluded, Mr.. Badger suggested an
amendment by inserting in the 18th section the words
