CONGRESS.
WEDNESDAY,, Aug. 2

~ WEDNESDAY,, Aug. %.
SENATE. On motion of Mr.. Clay, the bill to
abolish slavery in the District Of Columbia was taken
up with the view Of making the special order Tor
Monday.
After further debate the special order was post
poned, and the senate took up the bounty land bill
from the house. Pending the discussion on the bill
and amendments the senate went into executive ses-
sion, and soon after Adjourned EE
House.. Mr. Stanley offered resolution for COM
mencing proceedings against Messrs Richie and
SegnstaclS for contempt.
Mr.. Strong moved that the house proceed with the
business on the Speakers table, which was car
ried.
The report of the committee of conference on the
census bill was concurred in.
The Utah bill was referred to the committe of the
whole.
The senate bills granting lands in Arkansas, and
regulating duties imports and tonnage, were pas
sed.
The Texas boundary bill being next in order, on
motion of Mr.. Inge the chair put the question, Shal
the bill be rejected " upon which the yeas and nays
were ordered.
Mr. Ililliard now rose and addressed the committee
exciting great interest He said he would vote for
the bill if he could be assured he might say he
was, that the Wmot proviso would not be applied
to territory secured by the north He disclaimed all
sympathy with the disunionsts, and eoquently APP
peaed to the magnanmity of the north
Mr.. McClernand followed in few remarks to
show that debate now would be perfectly useless land
concluded by moving the previous question, upon
which debate ofintense interest ensued. The vote
on the rejection was then put, and the result was,
yeas sc, nays 1853, SO the bill was not rejected.
MIR. Boyd then moved to amend the bill by adding
the substance of the Senate bills organizing New
Mexico and Utah, making an omnibus with view
to carry the whole straight through without amend
ment or reference to any Committee. On this mo-
ton running and rather confused discussion arose.
intermingled with decisions ofthe Chair and appeals
therefrom, till finally the House adjourned without

THE VACANT DISTRICTS. We hope that
friends will be awake, and true their duty, in the
second and fourth Districts, remembering that every
effort in good cause, whether successful at the time,
not, does its part towards accomplishing the final
triumph. We have been ready, sometimes, almost to
believe that those struggles where present success is
unatainabe now more even done for the cause than
be when the present object is secured turns the
minds of the people more to the principle involved, and
the ultimate end to be attained. 1t trains and dsc
pines Them and establishes that principle and rule
of action in the mind which, in the outset might have
been little than sentiment vague matter of
opinion, and thus them and prepares them bet
ter for all future conflicts
In the Fourth District we are well aware that the
have been teazed wearied, and aded through
long succession Of trials and may feel but little spirit
for further contest. But let them remember, that
weared vigilance is the price of liberty, and that
truly great good is attained without toll and care. 1t
would be shame, if the uphoders Of the right should
show less spirit and determination, than those who OPP
pose them. They should make the slaves case their
own and be willing to do and to suffer, for him. what
they would have him to do for them, were they in
bonds, and he free. Every vote for the candidate
of freedom and in opposition to the bunker candidates,
has potency in it, and helps to put forward the
Every movement in favor of principles, dictated by
love thereof, advances them forward. Our opponents
have money and political power to sustain their posi-
ton; must rely good cause, and brave hearts
and determined wills to uphold it.
In the Second District, no candidate can be elected
without the aid, active passive, of the Free Soil
men, if they but do their duty Will they not, then, do
much for principle, as he Wings Of the Fourth 10
for their wills? We trust they WILL The Wings Of
that district have decided that no man shall be elected
If they prevent it, who viii make principle sub
servient to party dictation. 1t was enough that
Pafey voted for all their measures. Because he would
not surrender conscience and principle, he proscrb
ed Let Free Soil men meet them fairly, and tell them
that bunker shall go from the second district, with
offset him. Be not deuded by the free soil professions
Of bunker candidates. We have seen what they are
WORTH and that such principles must be held, if held al
all, subordinate to party expediency and party dsc
pline. We have not the slightest faith in Upham's
AntSlavery, any longer than it subserves his personal
and party purposes.
The Free Soil men should be ssas wise as serpents
and as harmless as doyes. Every expedient will be
resorted to, to circumvent them, and to draw then
away from their principles. Let them guard against
them, and straight forward, in the plain path
right and duty and, right is destined
come wrong, will their efforts be crowned with
ual success.

Professor WEBSTER. The public mind is
naturally occupied with the approaching doom of
this unhappy man. We learn that up to last night
he continued in the same tranquil state of mind and
body, which he has manifested since the Ultimate
decision to his fate. He sleeps well, eats moder-
atey and preserves his self-possession in wonder
full manner. At the same time he looks his gnomin-
ious end full in the face, devotes himself to religious
reading and contemplation, and abides his death,ap-
parenty in full resignation to the laws of God and
man. He acknowledges the justice of his sentence,
freely expresses his deep contrtion for his crime, land
absoves every concerned in bringing 1t to light
from all blame. He has written several letters to
different individuals, some of which may possibly
be published. He has confessed nothing as yet con-
tradictng the confession made to Rev. DIT Putnam
and there is no evidence yet that he intends doing So
