anu that tile amendment was crude and un-

anu that 1t should be exercised at the prop.
er3time. Mr.. Chaso of Ohio came out bold.
~ for the proposition, compndng that it
was right in itself, and the proper time to
vote for it was whenever it was presented.
1t was an important step to an important
end, and he was willing to take one stem nj

Mr.. Thompson Of Pa. contended that the
certificate of election by the Governor of
California was prIna facic evidence Of their
right to seats, and tha, the Speaker was
bound TO administer the oath to them. The
Speaker decided that objection having been
made, the House must pass upon ihe.

The editor of the Washington Southern Press
publishes an occasional dialogue between "Mr
Norta" and "Mr. South" as he calls them. 1t
is evident that, in these dialogues, he himself is
both Mr. North and Mr.. South. He is merely
talking to himself, and he strikinglv verfes the
old saying that the man who talks to himself
has a simpleton for Iistener.-LouisriAe Jou,

The journal does US too much honor. The
author of the dialogue between North and South
is standard classic in American literature, and

American politics.

FROM MINNEsorA.-We copy the following
items from the ST. Paul Pioneer:
Last Friday company of the United States
Dragons galoped through our town. They
conducted the prisoners, arrested in the late war
of the Wnnebagoes, for selling whiskey in Ben
ton county, to Sank Rapids, where they are to
be tried.
We hear of some depredations lttcly COM
mitted by the Chippewa Indians up north Be-
ing reduced to starvation by the delay of their
annnities, they armed themselves and drove off
and butchered three yoke of oxen belonging to
Government
1t is generally believed that Governor Dewey,
of Wisconsin, will commute the punishment of
the two Chippewa Indians sentenced to be hung
for murder at Willow river.
The Prairie du Chen Patriot says:
ave are informed by letter from Prairie Ia
Crosse, that the Winnebago chief Dandy, and
most of his band, embarked at that place on
hoard steamer, few days since, to join their
brethren of the same tribe on the Crow Wing
the remainder it is expected will soon follow"

The fir"-eatng Quaker of the Washington
Southern Press says that we seem to measure
our respect for him by the number of those who
agree with him. If we were to do that, we
should have no respect at all for him. We be-
ieve that nobody agrees with him, and we doubt
if he ever agreed with anybody. If n cannibal
or an amaze ouda were to swallow him, we doubt
if he would agree with tho man or the varmint.
louisville Journal.
The editor of the Journal sometimes displays
wit that compensates for the vulgarity Of his
taste-a taste which is more than originate is
more than aboriginal. But we don't discover
the wit in the paragraph we quote.
If We could permit ourselves to reply with
the apologize egotism ofthe Washington Union,
we could say that more of the people have
agreed, do agree, and will agree with us, than
with any other writer or speaker. On the sub
jects of currency, tariff, and slavery, our opinions
and arguments have been more widely dift'used
and generally adopted, than those of any othe.
man-much more so than those of Mr.. WEB
sTER or Dir. CLAY at the same age.
On the great questions of the present time,
Tie SouiploliIse iuedSuTeS, our paper has TiScn
more rapidly in circulation than any other, and
is still rapidly increasing,
The Southern party, with which we agree,
and which agrees with US, is already, we think,
more numerous and more able than sny other in
the South, and is advancing rapidly to predomi-
nance in the South. There is no instance in our
history of such sudden and rapid progress of par
y 1t has already terrified the leaders of both the
Others into an attempt at a coalition of both the
others to save them from overthrow. But even
that attempt will fail
We agree with the editor of the Journal that
if cannibal or an anaconda were to swallow us
we would not agree with him. But if either
were to swallow the editor of the Journal, he
probably would agree with them. The process
of assimilation would be easy.

ers, whose appetite for .poils would bankrupt
the placers of California.
Let the Southern party assume US one of its
principles, retrenchment in the expenditure as
well as restriction of the powers Of the Fed
eral system.
The excuses, the abuses, the usurpation, per-
petrated by the last session of Congress, ex-
coed all the political sins put together that
drove the elder and the younger ADAMS and
Mr.. VAN BURNN from power. Let us hope
that the principles of the old Republican party,
that were driven from Washington in '9S, and
took refuge in Southern States, will again find
a similar fortress from which they will return to
re-conquer the Capitol.
