THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL IL, 1850


Congress.
In the Senate, the slavery question was
under discussion, on the presentation OF
certain petitions. On motion of Mr.. Sc
WARD, petition presented by him on
Monday, contemplating the enrolment Of
slaves in the militia, was unanimously
rejected. The census bill was then taken
up and passed.
In the House, Mr.. JOB MANN, of Penn
sylvania, and Mr.. BREcK, of Kentucky,
were appointed to fill vacancies in the
committee on the Galphin claim, in the
place of Messrs. GENTRY and MCLANA-
HAN, who were excused from serving.
The House then went into committee on
the California message, and was addressed
by Mr.. Ross, Of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
DUER, of New York. Mr.. EWING finally
obtained the floor, when the House ad.
journed.

public grief at the death of one of them
selves, were the nation in whose service
his life was consecrated to die also There
would, then, be no statesmen to challenge
universal admiration, no calamity TO pro-
duce national anguish; there would be
no widespread sympathy in good or evil
times; there would be no American SEN
timent, no public opinion. The emotions
of glory, of gratitude, of patriotism-the
ideas of progress, of advancement, of do
minion-would stagnate and perish.
May not our Legislators gather from re-
cent evidences that the love Of the Union
is universal, and as powerful as all-per-
vading! Whenever there is an occasion
for its exhibition, it will be seen and
felt. Were the questions now before
Congress, which keep the country in
continual agitation and alarm, wisely dis
posed of and settled upon principles
which forbid their again appearing to mar
the councils of the nation, the public JOY
would be as universal and as heartfelt as
the sorrow which has so lately been every
where manifest. Is it not something to
contribute to jubiIeei The ambition is
worthy the highest of the high; the object
should command the efforts of the best.
The end might claim larger surrender Of
local prejudices or predictions than any
one will be called upon to make.

New PRocrss or MAKING SUeAR.-The editor of
the New Orleans Bee has examined several parcels
Of sugar manufactured on the plantation Of J. b.
Armant, esq., of the parish Of 81. James. These
specimens, he says the result Of new process,
with which he is not acquainted; but the sugar It.
self in its ordinary state, without having been re-
fined Is almost white, crisped, highly granu-
lar, and purely saccbarine as TO leave no residue
when dissolved in water. He saw also a sample OF
a coarser character, obtained from molasses, and
this rude product was superior to much Of the
common brown supar in usc.

Haymond and Thomp.on.

We are requested to say that the article
published in the Fredericksburg .News,
and copied into the Richmond Wing and
Republican, having relation to the canvass
in the Fifteenth Congressional district of
Virginia, between the present Representa-
tive and his competitor, Col. THOMPSON,
is almost without the shadow of founda-
ton. 1t is not true that Mr.. RAYMOND
and Mr.. THOMPSON frequently met during
the canvass as represented; nor is it true
that any such dialogue ever took place be-
tween them as is represented. The only
meeting had between these parties during
that canvass was at Fairmont, in the coun-
ty of Marion, on court-day, at which
time and place they both addressed the
people at considerable length. All that
was said about the slave question, in any
address to the people, was said there.
Mr.. RAYMOND made reference to Mr..
THoMPsoN's st. Clairsville speech, and
that was in reply to an intimation made by
Mr.. THOMPSON that the Wings were not
as sound on the slavery question as the
Democrats. The passage referred to in
Mr.. THoMPsoN's speech read as follows:
From an grafton delivered 6y George W. Thompson,
at 81. Ciarsriue, Ohio, July 4th, 1928.

be Free Already see the workings of those feel

the insurgents, amongst the slaves Of own
country, had met-in the deep midnight, when
all was still and voiceless-when the implements
of husbandry were collected together, to be made
the weapons of death-when the unlighted torch
ready at moments warning 10 be fired,
and its kindling flames applied to the proud
domes Of the devoted city, whilst she rested in
slumber in all her chambers. But you have heard
the deep tones of the warming BELL and the thrilling
voice of the watchman, when he has aroused you
from your dreams of peace, with the cry Of fire! So
comes the alarm-then comes the rush-the curse
of sturdy manhood, and the wild cry of fearful
woman. Then came the waving Of plumes, and
the heavy tramp of armed soldiery-the insurgents
were dispersed

bodies, and their bones still bleaching on the
ways and in the open fields The same breeze
that looses out the gorgeous folds of our national
banner, and filings the sound Of our martial music

SUGAR CRoP OF TExAs.--The Galveston Ns,cs is
informed by one of the most intelligent merchants
and sugar planters ofthat vicinity that he estimates
the sugar crop of Texas next year at ten thousand
hogsheads, and at twenty-five thousand in five
years after; while in ten years from this time he
believes the sugar crop in Texas will equal that Of
Louisiana. This estimate, that journal remarks,
is not made at random, but from data that would
probably satisfy most men and remove every rea-
