The Vaccinations Of the Free. Soiiers Defeated in tie
House The Onslaught on the Home Department. &C.
The House to day, covered tse with glory in voting
down the Wimot proviso resolutions Root and Gid
diDgs, Of Ohio That State Of Ohio besides raising
any quantity Of pork has produced and fotered quite
. number of swinish politicians, with the bodies of
giants and the hearts OF infants who would remain
imnovabe amid the wreck Of our glorious Union so
they might continue to make lard and sterne candles
These gentlemen represent the puritsnism Of New
England fattened scorns-the prosecuting spirit Of
pilgrims, without their piety Well their game is
Christianity which consists In tolerance 1t is time
that the spirit of faction and fanatcsm should be
course will not only be pursued In regard to one
section Of the Union, but to both. Let us
how many honest, temperate men there are on
both sdes of Mason Dixon line sincerely In favor
Of the Union, and determined to unite In . fair,
Just, and honorable compromise, such as Southern
to be driven to it from motives which would be un-
worthy Of them, and Of their Until the two
tions Of the Union and their representatives in Con-
gress cool down to that point which viii admit of in
dependent action without the actors being first obliged
to sign their political death warrants before they
their country patriots, shall have trouble
and difficulty In disposng Of the question. Once In
condition to reason the whole matter will be settled
in week The probability IT, that such favorable
condition Of things will soon occur, and that common
sense and patriotism will finally prevail against fans-
ticism and disloyalty.
In the House, to day the onslaught the Home De-
partment was commenced In good earnest. lt was
quite that the parties serious and that their
mt will be successful. The members from Mis-
sissppi lead The van; but they will remain long
ahead Of their contemporaries. The establishment OF
the Home Department has done more to give force and
direction to abolitonsm and to strengthen the hands
OF Governor Seward and his clique than anything that
has been done since the agitation Of the Wlmot pro-
viso Ii furnished the very food on which free sosm
and abolitionsm to thrive since the access
sion Of the cabinet and 1t has acquired power
and momentum which threaten to destroy all the
checks and balances Of our government. IL acts as
sort Of police every department and destroys their
independent action. IL concentrates patronage and
vests In one man a power which was formerly wisely
distributed among three four departments IL was
created not much because Of its organic necessity
to relieve ether branches Of the government IL is
mere potential harlequin dressed the threads and
patches OF the War, Treasury and Navy Departments
IL it be the creation of q Of talent, such
the late Secretary Of the Treasury undoubtedly Is
let not forget that Sir Isaac Newton, after
hausting his mighty intellect his Princpia wrote
an the Apocalypse II Sir Isaac Ne wton could
fall into ruch error Why should not Mr.. Walker,
after bestowiDg much labor and time the tariff
and the warehouse system, have committed q blunder
in the establishment Of the Department
Of the Interior Ii copied from the organization Of
the centrslizipg government of France; aud having
grown foreign soil hardly tit to be transplsnted
to the soil Of q confederate government.
There 10 much probability of General CASES resou
tons to inquire into the expediency OF suspeudng d.
plomatc Intercourse with Austria being lost but sub
staptsl amendments in favor of the brave Hungsians
will be offered TO IL by Senators Eoote and Soue, which
will not be voted down so easily.
