TIE LASTDAY AND NIGHTOFC CON-
GRESS.

Our report Of the doings of the Thirtieth
Congress during the last ,wenty-four hours
Of its existence, though lengthy, is in some
respects rather blind, but we are obliged to
give the account as the Telegraph brings it
10 US. The main features Of the proceedings
are, in the Senate, the bill passed for the
Coinage Of Gold Dollars and Double Eagles;
the defeat of the House amendments TO con.
fine the appointment Of Surveyors of the
Line between the United States and Mexico
TO the Typographical Corps the passage of
a bill introduced by Mr.. Breese providing for
the translation and publication of the Spanish
and Mexican Laws of California in effect at
the time Of the Treaty passing the House
bill providing for taking next Census; the
passage Of the Home Department bill, after
a very animated opposition, by 81 to % the
recession from its Cherokee amendment TO
the Civil the killing of the Branch Mint in
New York by the operation Of the rules on
Mr.. Surgeons objection the passage Of the
General Appropriation bill, after a long con-
test with the House 10 fix and finally taking
back Mr.. Walkers amendment; and last and
most shameful of all the scandalous exhibit
ton Of q personal recontre between Mr.. Ca
meron Of Penn, and Foote Of Miss.-a fami-
~ quarrel, indeed, but one which must infict
deep humiliation upon the whole people
We had hoped that such rufiian exhibitions
might be confined to the other wing of the
Capitol at least, where they were not long
since an almost weekly occurrence.
In the House, the New York Mint bill
was passed, TO no purpose, however; the
Naval Appropriation bill went slightly a.
mended the amendment 10 fix the 10Th of
March for the day Of effect Of the Minnesota

Letter from Francis Jackson.
To lie Secretary Qfthe massachusetts, Uarita-
Die Mechanic dissertation.

Sir 1T is well known that, for a long
time, the Association entertained the project
of building a hall for its use, as a place for
holding its meetings, and transacting its bu-
%siness.
With this view, land was purchased, and
the long desired object seemed about to be
realized, when a sudden and remarkable
change occurred I; the building of the hall
was abandoned, and it was decided 10 erect
a hotel.
This has been done, and the spacious Re-
we're House was built, and is now owned by
the Massachusetts Charitable Association.
AT the opening Of this house as a hotel,
the members of this Association, with their
families, assembled 10 view the establishment
and partake of a collation..
On this festive occasion, the President Of
the Association, in an address 10 the assem-.
bled company, is reported 10 have said this
is 10 be a temperance h~ouse-there is to be
no ar-nothing will be allowed within its
walls injurious TO the public morals, or often
sive 10 good taste.' Nor on this occasion
were any intoxicating drinks seen or served,
but the grateful spectacle was presented of
this association Of upwards of 700 members,
by word and deed, thus publicly entering
their emphatic protest against the demorali-
sing traffic in alcohol. But how has this
voluntary pledge been redeemed? Let the
facts answer
The House has been leased for ten years
without any prohibition against the sale o
intoxicating drinks, and it is now a matter o
common notoriety, that the whole fund of the
Association, upwards Of 10000 dollars, tn,
savings and accumulations of more than hal
a century, are invested in a rum tavern,
Nes-we are now, as a society, receiving
pecuniaTy consideration for this iniquitc ~
traffic, and through the officers or agents o
the Association, have agreed to do so for tel
years.
We have thus, in our associate capacity
done that which, as individuals, a large por
lion of the members would on no considera
lion consent to do; and we can claim no 9th.
or excuse, and offer no better reason for on
act, than can the owners of the tippling Gel
lars in Broad and Ann streets 10 wit i
PUBS money in our purse.' Towards tina
portion of the Association who feel that thu
traffic in alcohol inflcts serious injury UpoI
society, and that all its influences arc demo

Slavery not a Moral Evil.

So, at least, affirmed Mr.. Atkinson, Of Va,
in a recent speech in the National House Of
Representatives. Listen 10 him
But the honorable gentleman from New
York, in his second proposition, afirms "that
slavery is a great political, social, and moral
evil in direct conflict with the fundamental
principles Of this Government; opposed 10
its growth, prosperity, and future welfare"
Let us look for a moment at this branch of
the subject. ] presume the gentleman was
never a slaveholder-has never been much, if
at all, in the slave States, and, in his cam
dor, must acknowledge that, practically, he
knows nothing Of the workings of that insti-
tuition upon the moral, social, or political con-
dltlon Of society where it exists.
ask the honorable gentlemen, and those
who think with him, TO 90 with me into the
families of the South, where you will find
6ach slaves, but no uhiie slaves. What do
you see! A farmer, the owner of five, ter,
twenty, or may be an hundred negro slaves
they are well fed, well clothed when in
good health, they are employed chiefly in ag-
ricultuTe not confined to the hot rooms Of a
northern mandatory, but breathing a heal
thy, salubrious atmosphere; not compelled
to work at inclement seasons; and when the
sun sets in the west TO close the day, you will
see the happy, cheerful negro retire TO his
comfortable house with a light heart, partake
OF his nights meal, and if a wife and chill
dren, in the family of his master or his neigh
Dor, he spends the cheerful eve with them,
II he is sick, he is not thrust from this mas
ter, denied the common comforts of life, and
permitted, like some poor wretch and pauper,
to suffer with all the ills TO which man is
subject but he is supplied with a physician,
no~urishment, and attendance; and when he
RECEIVERS from the bed of sickness, he has no
bills to pay-no home, no employment 10
seek.
Sir, ! wish the gentleman could visit my
native Slate-that proud old Commonwealth,
God bless her-enjoy the hospitality of her
cltizen5-go to their places of worship, and
see the well-dressed negroes marching up
TO the altar to pay their devotions to the liv-
ing God 10 see the mistress and her chill
dren reading to their menials the Bible, The
Book IF Life, and teaching the young blacks
their catechism, and responsibility to their
Creator. Think you, sir, you or the honora-
BILE member from the empire Stale would find
in all this a social and moral evil! No, sir
you gentlemen who have had no experience
in this matter, know nothing of our domestic
serviiude. You can no more SEQ the truth
respecting it, than can q blind man dislin-
guish colors, or admire the beauties Of The
rainbow. Our slaves are instructed in reli.
gious exercises, and, in many instances, hou-
ses are erected on the farms for public wor-
ship, and ministers of the gospel paid, by the
year, for their pastoral services to the blacks.
How, then, sir, can slavery, such as that !
have described, and which | know TO exist,
be a moral or social evil

rai's,ng' ms use of the common funds is
highly unjust, inasmuch as the associate act
Is u direct opposition to their deepes, con-
vic'l9ns and most cherished principles-they
are placed by it in false position and while
on Inc one hand as individuals, their labor
and hopes are devoted 10 the cause of tenn.

hardship, not to say insult, to which, in com.
mon fairness and courtesy, they should no,
have been subjected.
For these reasons, I withdraw from the
Association; with which have been con-

and reques, that my name may be stricken
from the roll of its members.

The PEOPLE OF THE IsTHMUs.-A return
ing traveller from Panama says: "The hon
esty of the natives is proverbial. Bales,
boxes, trunks, and packages of specie are
left at the mercy of the poor, half-naked ma
tives, and a robbery by them has never been
known" The Salem Gazette suggests that
=" perhaps these natives might be induced to
send a few missionaries 10 the United States,
where they might perform a great work in
bringing honesty into fashion"

THE DRAYToN CAsE.--The Washington
correspondent of the New York Evangelist,
writing under date Of Feb. %, says:
The Circuit Court, Judge Cranch presi.
ding, have reversed the decision of Judge
Crawford in the Court below, which, in the
case Of Drayton, adjudged him TO be guilty
Of larceny, and would have subjected the
slave abductors to a long period of c%onfine-
ment in the Penitentiary. The Court below
had ruled that TO constitute the crime Of lar
cency the jury must believe that the prisoner
feloniously took and carried away the slaves
with intent to defTaud the owners thereof
that it was not necessary for them TO believe
he intended 10 convert the slaves 10 his own
use, but that any dishonest gain, profit or re-
Enumeration resulting to him from thus taking
the property, was sufficient. From this de-
cision an appeal was taken, and the Circuit
Court in everything it, laid down the law that
the Jury must believe that the prisoner in
tended TO convert the slaves TO his own use,
otherwise his taking them under whatever
circumstances, was not larceny. A gentle
man here remarked, that "the effect Of this
decision is, that persons may carry of slaves
with impunity, it being impossible TO prove
what The party taking them intended to do
with them" Hence the insecurity Of this
species of property, and its consequent de-
probation. Ii is said that the District AT
to1ney will proceed against Drayton at the
next Criminal Court upon a charge of trans
porting slaves, and aiding them 10 escape
This, ] think. is not a penitentiaTy offence,

lMPosTuRE ExPosED.-There appear
ed, about two months since. in the Libe.
ator a statement headed Beware Of New

Orleans that on the arrival of the YES.
sci al the latter port they were arrested
by the proper authorities, and after the
usual preliminaries placed in the chain
gang, chained together. where they con-
tinued for some months; that in March
1848 the man-John Callis-was recog-
nized by Lieutenant Carpenter of the T.
nited States Navy, under whom he had
served on the Pacific Station, in the frig-
ale Constitution, in 1888; and that
through the efforts Of this gentleman both
Calls and his wife were released and
permitted TO return to the North. 1t is
further stated that The inability of The
parties TO liquidate their Jail fees led TO
some delay, but they at length shipped
on board Il vessel which made a voyage
10 Europe and returned 10 New Orleans,
where, alter being deprived Of all their
wag TO satisfy their Jail fees, they OBJ

This whole story is, no doubt, n fabri-
cation. There is no lieutenant in the u.
S. N. by the name of Carpenter, but we
learn from Capt. Carpenter (who is no
doubt referred 10 that he knows no man
by the name Of Callis-that he was not
in N. Orleans in March l848, but at that
lime was stationed at Norfolk-tha, he
was not in the Constitution in l839-and
that when he has served on board that
vessel that there was no person Of The
name ofCallis among her people. The
man who has taken this name has prob
ably been in New Orleans, and has SER
we'd under Captain Carpenter, perhaps,
in the Constitution, under a different
name, but further than that we do not be-
lieve his story TO contain a word oftrulh.
Ii was first told in Boston, where, as there
was nothing improbable in it, it obtained
credit, and the narrator some money
lie then came 10 New York and met with
The same success. He also pretended 10
be in possession of a large amoun Of
property in this city, which he was de-
sirous that some careful friend should
sell for him, and reinvest the proceeds.
Such properly we find does not exist, and
Calls, who left at this office his address,
both at his residence and at a store where
he said, he had procured work. is not to
be found. He is not known al either Of
these places. We do not hesitate there

THE ANTI-SLAYERY BUGLE

Is published every Friday, at Salem, Column
Diana Co., Ohio, by the Executive Committee
of the WESTERN A~NTG-SLAvERY SocIETY;
and is the only paper in the Great West
which advocates secession from pro-slavery
governments and pro-slavery church organi-
cations. 1t is Edited by BENJAMIN s. and j.
ELIZABETH JONES; and while urging upon the
people the duty of holding "No union with
SHAREHOLDERS" either in Church or State, as
the only consistent position an Abolitionist
can occupy, and as the best means for the de-
structioD of slavery it will, SO far as its linn
its permit, give a history of the daily progress
of the anti-slavery cause-exhibit the policy
and practice of Shareholders, and by facts and
arguments endeavor 10 increase the zeal and
activity of every true lover of Freedom. In
addition to its anti-slavery matter, it will
contain general news, choice extracts, moral
tales, &c. 1t is TO be hoped that all the friends
of the Western Anti Slavery Society-all the
advocates of the Disunion movement, will do
what they can TO aid in the support Of the
paper, by extending its circulation. You
who live in the West should sustain the pa
