The District Of COlu nl:,ia.

1 correspondent of the Concordia La J
InteIhgencer has complied the following
statement of the action taken at various
times in Congress in reference to the alb.
clifton of slavery in the District of Col
umbia. 1t is an interesting historic al par
agraph:
In 1916 John Randolph, Of Roanoke
brought forward a resolution for a commit
tee Ito inquire into the traffic in slaves in
the District. and for Legislative measures
TO put stop to the same" 1t was adopt
ed without il division. On the 10th Dec.
1897 Mr.. Barney. of Maryland. offered
a memorial for the restriction of slavery
In the District, which, on his motion. was
ordered to be printed. Mr. McDuffie, of
South Carolina objected to the printing,
but expressly admitted the right of Con-
gress ITO grant the people of the District
any measures which they may deem nee
essary to free themselves from this deplor-
able evli!' On the 9Th January. 1929,
Mr.. Miner. of Pennsylvania, offered a res
olutlon ins:ructing the Committee of the
District to inquire into the expediency of
asolIshlng slavery in the same. And the
vote was ayes ia, nays Go! Mr.. Mark
Alexander, Of Virginia, reported. in sub
stance, that slavery could not be abolish
ed in the District Without the consent of
the people thereof. The same committee
likewise reported bill declaring negroes
brought into the District for sale, .free!-!
In 1895 a memorial, signed by 1900 of
the citizens of the District, was presented
praying for the abolition of slavery there,
and the project was decidedly popular.
On the 23d January. 1886. Mr.. John Ty-
Ter, then a Senator from Virginia, in one
of series Of resolutions, conceded the |
right Of Congress to abolish slavery in /
the District. with the consent of the slave

Cochimea1.-The true Cochineal insect
has never been found in the East Indies.
1t is indigenous to Mexico. The British
East India Company were SO DESTROYS TO
nave 1t into their eastern possessions, that
they some years since offered a reward of
$4,000 to any person who might succeed
IN cultivating and rearing this insect in
India. The king of the Netherlands also
wentto great pains & expense to introduce
the Cochineal insect into Java, the eli
mate of which is supposed to be we'll "a
dapted to this important article of mer-
chandize, but we believe that all attempts
to introduce it into the countries of the
east, have hitherto proved unsuccessful.
This insect will yet be source Of great
profit to the United States, for there is no
doubt but within our boundaries, it will be
raised in great quantities. 1t produces
the most brilliant scarlet dye upon silk
and woodworking can equal it. II is also
beautiful paint-the most brilliant Of all
the lakes.

the purposes for which il professed TO have

as to its effects upon the grants which
she sought to secure to her grantees, but
Mr.. Polk knew better. 1t was a cheat.
The President began by cheating. He
cheated his own country first. and now he
had attempted to cheat Mexico. II seems
he can do nothing else. He cheated the
iron men Of Pennsylvania with the Kane

The Old North State.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Pa

Were you in search Of the most honest

you would probably go. strange to say, to
the Island Of Nantucket, and to the piney
woods of North Carolina! A few years

latter, and being attracted by the cheerful
blaze Of their pine wood fire, went in and
chatted with the old women as thew sat
