Slave Catching.

The majority of the 31st Congress, in
both Houses, have branded themselves with
infamy, and, rs far as they have power, dis
glaced the nation. A bill, imposing fine
of one thousand dollars, and six months i'm
prisonment, for obeying Gods express com
mand TO feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
and hide the outcasts," has passed through
both branches of the National Legislature.
We are neither prophet nor prophets son,
yet revelation from Heaven would make
us no Surcr than we are now, that the names
of those, especially from the Free States,
who have voted for this bill, will go down TO
posterity along with those of Benedict Ar
mold aud Judas Iscariot. Nay, ifit be posi-
bic, they will descend with shade of deep
er infamy. The record is traced, more in
delihly than on Corinthian brass. The wat
ers of an ocean cannot wash it out, and the
abrading hand of time cannot erase it,
Representatives of men calling themselves
free have crouched like spaniels, at the feet
of Southern lordlngs, aud have done the
bidding of their masters. They have voted
to make humanity crime-subnissio TO
ruffian violence virtue, and obedience to
God an offence to be punished by fine and
Imprisonment.

The Washington Southern Press makes the follow ing paIpable hit at our cousins of Boston:
 s ngle- min e L, oid-fsshioned Southerners may be surprised that, in Boston, the capital of the most Union.leving State in this Union, Turkish Envoy and noted British sbolitionist member of ParIia. .neni. should be seceiged wih honor and feasting whilst couple of citizens ot Georgia are repeae dy arrested, mob5ed, and chased out of town, for pre- snmins to claim their property under ;he Coos,iiu ton and laws.
