The Last Day of Congress.

1t appears that both branches of Congress-
had so great a desire TO benefit the people,
that they extended the last session beyond
the limits provided by law, doing up some of
their business on SUNDAY, the 4th of March.
We presume their dissertation Of the day
will be overlooked by the conserva,ors Of
public morals, seeing that they who did the
deed were all Honorable men but wo to the
poor lads who attempt TO sell on Sunday a
record Of what Congress did on Sunday
they must suffer the penalty of the violated
law.
Congress adjourned without giving terrific.
rial governments 10 California and New
Mexico; so that the question whether slave

yet an open one. We suppose we ought TO
feel very thankful for this, and look upon it
as an evidence that there is yet little man.
hood left among the northern members.
Several members paired of during the last
day, but no, in the way that is considered
most reputable.
FooTE, of Mississippi. was moved 10 shake
his fist in the face of CAMERON, of Pennsyl-
vania, who thereupon returned it with a blow.
MEADE, Of Virginia, and GIDDINes, of Ohio,
also had a difficulty, though whether blows
passed between them the record saith not
There was also a Triangular scufle between
JOHNSON, of Arkansas, FIcKLIN, of Illinois,
and lNeE, Of Alabama. Johnson called Flick
lin ga damned puPpy," and Inge struck him
with a cane on the forehead, causing the
blood to flow and som other striking and
pushing was exhibited by the parties. Soon
after this episode, the second session of the
Thirtie,h Congress did, on Sunday morning
adjourn sine die.

sufficient aggravation,in having slavery
amongst them withoul any increase by
means ofimporlation.
Alabama, ton, inserted a clause in her
Constitution, in these words The Gen4
eral assembly shall have full poper 10
prevent SlareS from being brought into
the State as m~erchqRdise.''
Missouri also accorded with the popuD
lar feeling, by inserting in her lundamen.
tai code a similar enactment ;-"The
General Assembly shall hare poicer ia
prohibit the Introduction Of any slare fds
the purpose of speculation, or as an orli,
Gle of trade or merchandise,
Young Arkansas, too, engrafted IN hes
Constitution the following provision -:
The General assembly shall hare potse.
to prerent slareS from being brought into
tbs State as merchandise"
1t is perfectly evident, by referring 10
the few extracts above quoted, hat those
members of Congress who manifested
such wonderful horror at tho iniroduos
ton of Mr.. Gotta resolution and Mr..
Edwards bill. did not act in accordance
with the will ola majority of their south,
ern constituents. Is the traffic less ins
human, less horrible, if praclised at
Washington, than in The States OF Ken
lucky, Mississippi, Missouri or Alabama Z
Why are pens and slave a%uctioneers less
respectable in the District of Columbia,
at the scat of government, than at ST,
Louis, Natchez, or Frankfort Is the
traffic considered more disreputable in
the midst Of entire shareholders, then al
Washington, where nine tenths Of tho
citizens, members and strangers, are ad,
vocates and possessors Of Free Soil -
The idea is absurd, ridiculous, preposter>
Gus! And we confidently believe, thai
seven eighths of the southern population
would vote TO morrow in favor Of abol,
ishing the traffic in the District.
Although the proposition of Mr.. Go,t
may be considered as being probably
disposed of for the present, still. as The
same idea, is involved in Mr.. Edward'a
bill. there is yet hope that the House
will be brought 10 its final consideration,
The chances are in its favor in the House.
and we have very gratifying reasons for
believing that it will receive The favora,
Bile consideration Of a majority Of the

BLACK LAWS OF ILLlNols.-On the last
day Of the session of the Legislature of H.,
the following resolution was offered, and laid
upon the table by a vote Of 80 to 90:
Resolred, BY the House of Representatives,
the Senate concurring herein, tina, so much OIL
the laws of this State as apply to free people
Of color, Commonly called Black Laws are
tyrannicaI, invidious and oppressive /; and il
their operation upon this weak, unfortunate
and harmless class Of people, do infinite iniu
ny and injustice, and that the same are unbe
coming the statutes Of a free, magnanimous
enlightened and Christian people; and tina
in the opinion of this General Assembly tn,
same should be so modified, amended and al
tered as to relieve entirely free people of col.
or from this signal injury and oppression.

But even if this is not done, The STAKEHOLDER

Ghost Of the Embodiment, assures them.
" Most Of the evils, losses and misfortu1es of

Walton" and therefore the evil, loss, or mis-
fortune Of ceasing to rob men whom you
have plundered for twenty five years, will be
compensated or alleviated as set forth in his
letter, the first item Of which is OF getting
rid Of the negroes!
We have said enough about this letter.
Those who wish 10 see it entire, will pro-
badly be able to find it in most of the papers,
but as it contains nothing very new in the
plan it proposes, and discusses propositions,
the injustice, inhumanity, and impraclicabi-
lily OF which abolitionists have long since
demonstrated, and moreover as il emanates
from one whose name is no longer the spell
Of power it once was, we have come 10 the
conclusion that three columns Of our paper
can be occupied with more important matter,
and have therefore only extracted and said
enough to give an idea of its general chaTac-
ter.

PAIN CANNOT EXIST.
A gentleman in the South of Europe and
Paes ine. in 1880, heard so much said in the
latter place in lnvoruf JEW DAVlD'S PLAS-
TER, and Of The Gas he consideredl miraculous
cures he had perlnrmed, that lie was induced
to try it nm his OWN person, for Long nnd
Liver Affection, the removal of which had been
The chief object Of his journey, but which had
resisted the geniaIjand dcIrons cline.
He accordingly applied plaster on the right
Of his chest where ihe irnin was seuted another

OF the liver. lil the mean time he dlank freely

found his health improving. and in few weeks

disappeared, bis pain was remnved, and his
health became permanently reiterated.
