worse than useless to repeat tomorrow the

Congress.

The subject of Slavery seems to be receiving
quite as much attention from this body as could rea-
sonably be expected; indeed, it may be that in sift.
ing the question, it will be found that the anti-sla-
very results will compare favorably in abundance
with the deposles of gold in the Sacramento. In
the former, as in the latter case, there is no vein of
the ore, but particles of the precious metals have
been carried down from the mountains by floods
which bore with them a vast deal of worthless stuff;
and it requires much washing and sitting to sepa-
rate them from the sand and dirt of the rivers bot
tom. The process is, however, brayely going on,
aud we trust that those who are engaged in it will
realize at least enough to pay them for their disa-
greeabie work. The New Mexico question, the
California question, the Pacheco question, the ques-
ton on the abolition Of slavery in the District, the
question on prohibiting the slave trade there, are
all measures of Congressional agitation which will
tend to keep the waters of public opinion in a state
of unrest, and prevent that stagnation which is
SO much to be dreaded.
