Congress.

We presume that it is unnecessary to call atten-
ton to the report of the debates in Congress at the
present time. The deep excitement pervading the
community upon the subject of slavery, causes pub
lie attention to concentrate in Washington and we
make no excuse for devoting considerable space to
the proceedings ofthe Senate and House. Whatever
others may think we must confess that do not
as yet feel any great fear for the Union We think
we can discover sufficient love for the country among
men of all parties, and from all sections to render
every attempt at dsunion futile besides the people
in the Northern States especially in the Northern
commercial cities have become aware of the risks
they in the present system of aggression is
persevered in. They feel that dissolution of the
Union would paralyze their trade, and ruin their
prosperity, and they not willing to hazard the
consequences of such step. at the dictation of a
few interested leaders, for the purpose of enfor
cling mere abstraction. The moral effect of the
meetings in North Carolina cannot be overrated.-
When North Carolina generally 80 slow to move,
took such decided stand, it convinced the North
that the feelings of the South must indeed be reused
Tho tone of the Philadelphia resolutions cannot fail
to have good effect also the ma orty report of
the slavery committee of the Pennsylvania Legsla-
ture 1t should be remarked that the majority of the
committee were democrats the minority wings. The
minority report is the of that of the majority
This fact shows for itself Similar meetings to that
held in Philadelphia, will soon become general thro
out the North, and out of evil will come this good,
that in future, better feeling will exist and be diff
fused. It would be wilful blindness, or miserable
stupidity to deny that the present aspect of affairs is
threatening; but it would be worse-it would be
treason cowardice, to despair at the beginning
to give up the ship without effort, to proclaim
the Union dissolved because fanatics have mis-
led the people. The Union is not dissolved and we
have too much confidence in the people to think it
ever will be-

Pennsylvania Leglsl0ture-The Slavery Question.
The majority of the committee upon slavery in the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives, have lately
furnished report in which they arrive at the
cusion that the Constitution gives Congress power
over the slavery question, and consequently Con-
gress has right to discuss the expediency
aty of subjects not referred to it, in the powers
umerated in tho Federal Constitution" The value
of the Union, and the horrors of disunion set
forth in the following language:
This Union is and must always be held together by
al ties and of equal Justice Force and tyranny
consolidate and bind together free people, conscious
of their rights and inspired with just patriotism. All bonds
manaces of naked power unconnected with the conviction
justice would fall asunder fax at the touch heI
applied the sinewy limbs Of American freedom. They
would spurn them the lion spurns the slender of
hunter.
est caamites to country; The North vel
the South-the East well the West-would shar
the fatal consequences of melancholy catastrophe. Tn
choicest of prosperity to the North consists in their
ical connection with the South By the force of
laws they enjoy mmunties that the elements thei
present unrivaed prosperity The rich productions
South the capital Of most of their enterprises The
productions of their manufacturing energies in virtue
tariff laws enjoy bounty of than thirty per cent
foreign competition which bounty according to
sagacious political economists amounts to the
