o. gang of thunder and lightning y
clouds passed over Burlington and its suburbs
on Sunday afternoon, and for few moments
there was prevailing impression that" the dam
had broke!" Such a miscellaneous discharge of
water. hail and electricity would seem to have
been "wholly unprovoket." The principal objec-
tionable feature in QUE we'll behaved town, in the
eyes Of these Skyey influences" appeared to
be the democratic Liberty pole on the Square
so the lightning smashed into that just as though
it wasn't aware that " the unterriied are moi
afraid of thunder !" We should have no pIi-
vate objections if the WING Pole should catch a
splitting waliop, one of these days, for VIC think
neither should be in the enclosure on the Square;
b. we suppose the truth is that the democra
cy have " behaved so like thunder," for the
last year or two, that the lightning don't fee
at ease unless it is 60 eating em up" at every
convenient opportunity.

I'm Congress, Yesterday.

The HOUSE did nothing yesterday, but MIR.
BRIccs of our City got in an excellent
resolution Of Inquiry with respect to MINIS
and Coinage, which passed.
Mr.. CLARK of our State Jefferson Co.
made an excellent speech in favor Of Free
dom in the Territories. A Tennessee Loco
Foco made savage rejoinder, and Mr..
SrAsLY of N. c. gave notice of motion
to-day to stop debate on the California
question. 1t is high time.
In the SENATE, Mr.. Dickinson Of our
State put in an excellent proposition, look
ing 10 the coinage Of three-cent piece.
We trust law based On it will soon be
passed.
Mr.. Clay made an able and temperate
Speech in favor of his proposition of Com
promise, and the prospect Of its passage
through the Senate seems bright again.
Who was it said Mr.. Clay was broken
DOWN. If he is, who is left standing?
The Houses amendments to the Census
bill are to be considered in Senate to-day,
and we trust adopted.
Mr.. CLAY will have failed to convince the
North that the application of the Wilmet
Proyiso to the New Territories is needless
and improper, because our People cannot
help seeing that majority of the South, as
represented in Congress, does not regard
Slavery as he does. Had the People even
of Kentucky needed his recent suggestions
for Gradual Abolition of Slavery, the case
would have been different. But they who
listen to him on every thing else revolt
when he tells them that Slavery is evil and
must at some day be terminated. How,
then. shall we feel sure that Slavery will
not 90 to New-Mexico, simply because he
deems II unlikely and unfit to 60 there? On
The same basis, it ought to begin to get out
of Kentucky, but it don't. So he thought,
when Annexation was first agitated, that
Texas. if annexed would ultimately be d.
yided into two Slave and three Free States
but we don't begin to see the latter yet.
The simple truth is that the Slavery Propa-
panda and Mr.. Clay hold radically different
views and we do not feel safe in trusting
them because we know he is right. If all is
as he says, the application of the Wilmot
or Jefferson Proviso to the Territories car
do no harm; if things are as we are led tx
fear. that proviso will do world Of good
We think the House will clap it on, whel
The bill reaches that body.

own soil of the Fifty Millions worth of pro-

own soil Of the Fifty Millions worth of pro-
ducts that we are this year running in debt
for, we should produce all beside that we now
shall. The Labor now crouches and crowds
in our cities and villages, or rambles idly
and wishfully over our broad lands in quest
of work or game, that would set all the
wheels and trip-hammers going that are now
rusting unused. Moral evil crowds on the
heels of physical want and uncertainty OF
subsistence. If Great Britain would make
our Iron and Cloth for nothing, it would be
unwise to accept the offer. A Nation needs
10 do as well as to receive, and the varied
Education of its Physical is essential to the
full development Of its Intellectual and
Moral powers.
How long can this running in debt go on?
Suppose our Foreign creditors would never
want the principal we owe them, is there
not some limit 70 our National ability to pay
interest? How are we ever to pay Twenty
or Thirty Millions of Interest per annum if
we cannot now pay for what we are annr-
ally consuming?
We lay no blame on the buyers of Iron
and Cloth, individual or corporate; the
laws Of trade tell them to buy in the cheap
est Market and no company will justify its
officers in paying fifty dollars per tun for
American Rails when British can be had for
forty. So long as our ports are open, the
British will rule the market. But we are
nevertheless confident that it would be far
better for the Railroads themselves if the
Tariff were made strictly Protective. The
difference in the cost of Iron would hardly
be felt, while the difference in transporta-
ton and travel could hardly fail to be. One
factory or foundry at work in this country
makes more business for our Railroads than
ten such in Europe, though their products
were all consumed here. Bear witness Mas
sachusetts and Virginia!
The time must come-we do not say when
that the fabric Of what now seems Pros
perity must tumble into ruin. 1t is not built
on rock buta treacherous quieksand, which
any moment may set ahOat. A tumble in
Cotton, panic in Stocks, a political commo-
ton in England, a general CONFUSION on the
continent, run on the banks of the Sacra-
mento which shall compel them to stop dis
gorging-any of these or dozen other cas-
ualties may bring the whole dollhouse about
our business mems ears. And good many
who see this and mean to step out just in
season. will find themselves moment too
late.

vyhither we nre Tending.

Our matter-offact Commercial Reporter
has the following business-likc statement in
his Money Report of Saturday:
"Hou Alfred Kelley President of the Cleveland,
Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, who went TO
England early In April, has succeeded In Pur-
chasing 5000 tuns Of rails sufficient to iron that
road. The iron viii be sent forward at once, via
Ouebec No previous arrangement has been
made on equally favorable terms. Mr.. Kelley has
also negotiated at good price the Bonds of his
Company to al amount sufficient to pay for the
above IRON
Iyere this an isolated case, it might pass
w;tbout comment; but when we consider
that these Eve thousand tuns of British
Rails are but mar. of the five hundred thou
sand recently procured, ss.lready purchased
or about to be contracted for, We pespeaK Tor
the subject q thoughtful attention.
At this moment, while our chief staples
for export are bringing good prices-Cotton
an unusually high one-and our Country is
in full possession of all the elements of pros
perity, we are rushing swiftly, madly into
debt to Europe. National stocks, State
stocks, Railroad bonds and other forms of
Indebtedness, are weekly sent across the At
lantic in reams, to purchase the products of
British and Continental industry. In the
full endowment Of Peace, Health, plenteous
Uaryests and all that should make Nation
thrifty and independents wise, frugal and
far-seeing Public Economy alone excepted
we are running in debt at the rate OF not
less than Fifty Millions per annum. AT
least one-third of our Iron-Works are now
closed, and most Of the residue working
feebly and dubiously-while we are buying
Iron of Great Britain by the five thousand
tuns at dash, and giving our notes for 1t.
Foreign Silks come in upon us by the Tween
~ Millions worth, but our own infant Silk
factories are fast dying out. British Cotton
and Wooden Fabrics are flooding the whole
land in unparalleled profusion, while Ameri-
can factories are shutting up, or beginning
TO work short time. And, the fools not
being all dead, The Union tells the people
that this Stacking work is nothing but
trick Of the manufacturers to drive Congress:
into an increase of the Tariff!
All these fabrics that we are so giddily
running in debt for might easily be made
here without diminishing in the least the
efficiency of our undisturbed employments
With Tariff that would set every factory
forge and foundry in full operation, Their
would be not less but more Agricultural
production than there now is. Every mill o
forge started would be an added market 10
Fruits, Vegetables, Dairy Products, &c. an'
would set hands at work to supply them
The land now meagerly employing ten mel
n wheat-growing would probably occup.
one hundred in gardening With Tart
which would ensure the production on on

M. T6e Boston Republican thus saith ::

The rrbuue can speak OF the Evening Post IA 6odsn
,,srs ADVOCATE OF Freedom In terms OF abuse which

whr can hnd Ts sn1 oy Tor biz bod
and manly Slavery speech recently oel.eree pa
ve.s We do not wish TO do Mr.. Greeley In
justice" &c. &c
The Evening Post repeatedly accused US
Of Offering to divide the Territory acquired
from Mexico and give up half of it to Slave
nv: we refuted this shameful calumny at
least twice with exemplary patience; but
that did no gOOd-The Post persisted in reit-
Grating it, and left us no alternative but to
repel the SANDER in the only terms that
would fitly characterize it. And The Re-
publican which has no word Of rebuke for
the false witness, is greatly. shocked at our
bluntness in telling him that he is what he
is. Orr notion of gentility makes the ca
lumniator far more culpable than the object
of his defamation, who, after every forbear-
ance. tells him that he has told lie.
The Republican seems to have different
rule, and good reason for it. In accusing
us of assailing Gov. Cleveland, "torhis Cotd
and manly anti-slarery speech recently de-
livered in Congress-" or any thing Of the
sort, it has given the world good reason for
its sensitiveness to any criticism on unye-
racity. We never said any such thing.
