this city. and yet, so far learn, our city
authorities have paid him not the slightest mark
of respect. We suppose that they need to be re-

before, a. their tine is absorbed almost entirely BY
jobbing, scheming, and looking out for themselves
Were the President Of the United States to visit
Canada, we presume there would be, in such q
case, NO slight demonstration of regard. II is
really shameful to witness such neglect The
Earl of Elgin is one Of the most distinguished

years. Besides, those in authority ought to pay
some respect to his high Office in the British pro-

TsiegraPhic SuEnmary-Passage or the slave
sCrsAic Bill In the senate Revival of the
Slavery Agitation Ia the House.

The Senate, yesterday, after taking up the Civil
and Diplomatic appropriation bill, and making 1t
the special order OF the day for tomorrow, pro-
seeded 10 the consideration OF the bill abolshing
Hsve traffic in the District Of Columbia, which was
passed by vote Of thirty three to nineteen.
During the sher, discussion which took place
concerning that bill, Col Benton, OF Missouri, in
long speech, endeayored 20 explain way the course
which he pursued IN opposing the compromise bills
ashley weIe reported Oy ihe Committee of Thirteen,
and .orelieve himselfofthe odium which he incurred
by so dong. His explanation consisted Of nothing
but that At whs contrary To form To connsci number
OF bills together, and IL that zccDlat that he
opposed them cole ctively. MessrJ Clay and Fooie
however, were not disposed 10 let him off aai
fiuHpy fephed TO him, that, under the circunl-
Stances of The country az the time OF the inroduc-
non OF those bills, mere Of form should not
be punouliOusly alto nded TO- The rebuke was well
neriled. The reminder OF the d y was taken up
with the Bounty Land bill, TO which an amendment
was offered aud agreed to, extending ts benefits to
the MARINES who served on the coast of Florida
during the Seminole war.
The most important proceedings in the House Of
Representatives were those in which Mr.. Stevens,
of Pennsyl lvaEia, figured. That gentleman gave
notice OF bills TO prohibit slavery in Utah and
New Mexico, and 10 repeal the Fugitive Slave
bill, recently passed by the two houses Of
Congress. Thus, We Zee, thai the example of Wm
IA. Seward, in the Senate, isfollowed In the House
of Representatives. From preseut appearances,
there seems to be no doubt that the abolitioais,
wing Of the whiy party determined q, if possible
TO revive the slavery agitation, and to promote by
all the means in their power, discoTd between the
Northern and Southern sections Of the republic
II such fanatics and disorsanizers be not repa.
dated by the whig party, 1t ID sasy to what the
rrsult will be. They will be scattered like chaff
before the wind. All The moderate and conser,a
tive men Of the party will shandon their ranks aud
disastrous defeat will attend hcm 10 every election
throughout the United States These effects will be
witnessed in a marked mannsr ia the State OF New
lork--ihe headquarters Of Seward and his clique
OF s6oltoniS'e. II rests with that party to remaia
in power, or 10 be hurled from il. Unless they re-
rudiate StwbTdism and sbok,iolsm Of every kind,
they will meet ihe fate sueh an emission will cer-
tainly entail upon them.
