Of Ohio, Massachusetts,, and other States, may
stand shoulder to shoulder In support Of candi-
date who would, il elected, administer the Gov
eminent in obedience to the fundamental Law OF
Liberty Such union as this we regard as all
important Why not do all we can to prepare
the way for it7 Why adopt any narrow platform,
or shibboleth that may prevent it, Why, when
shareholders and their allies preparing to make
common cause once more, in the Presidential
struggle, should we, who constitute the majority
Of the American People, quarrel about platforms,
divide on minor issues, refuse to vote together, be-
cause, though all moving in the same direction,
aud aiming at common object, We differ as to
details and forms; some insisting on new party,
some on Jeifersonan Democracy, some on Sew
ard Whigism, AS the only means of successfully
opposing Slavery.
Even those who regard the Tariff question as
second only in Importance TO the Slavery Cues
ton, need be under no apprehension from making
the latter of paramount consideration in the Pres
idential canvass. The fate of the Tariff question
is really decided. From the repeated votes of the
House and the composition Of the Senate, it is
certain that the Protectionists can hope nothing
from the present Congress; and the character OF
the elections far for the next Congress shows be-
yond all doubt that hereafter no essential altera-
tions can be expected in our Tariff system, so az to
conform it to the principle of Protection 1t Is not
necessary then that the question should enter into
the Presidential contest. Whoever may fll the
| Executive chair cannot change the present imam
cial policy of the oountry-but on the character
! Of the occupant OF that Office will depend to a
great extent the decision of the far more import
ant, and now greatest practical question, whether
the General Government shall be the handmade
of Slavery or the helpmeet of Liberty, the tool
of an odious Sectional Interest or the representa-
tive and protector of National Interest for the
establishment of which the Union was formed,
and from which it derives its real value.

A spirited debate came of in the Senate last
Monday, growing out of the presentation OF a
petition for the repeal of the Fugitive Law.

close, the Senate, we rejoice TO announce, took up
the Postage Reduction Bill, aud rejected all the
amendments proposed by the Committee a sub
stitute vas then submitted by Mr.. Rusk, to which
Mr.. Seward proposed several amendments We
cannot but adhere to the opinion that 1t is best to
pass the bill as it is and not risk it by attaching
amendments to il which the House will scarcely
find time TO consider Pass the bill now, and let
it be perfected in the next Congress.

ar 1t will be recollected that, when the Board
of Accounts bill was under discussion in the
House, MIR. Allen Of Massachusetts, moved an
amendment which produced considerable sensa-
ton. As our report Of this proceeding In last
weeks Era was very imperfect, We give now q
correct one
MIR. Allen moved to amend the bill by insert
ing the following:
Proriled, That no member Of the present Con-
gress shall be appointed to any office created an
der this act
Mr.. Wentworth. I object to that 1t is per-
sonsl.
Mr. Allen said his amendment might not be
broad enough to cover the great defect in the bill
but it would, in some degree, diminish great
evil lie had scarcely taken up newspaper for a
year or two past without seeing notice Of the APP
pointment to lucrative flee of some son or brother
OF member of Congress.

Mr. Allen. Oh, no, sir! Il is not proper for
me to refer Ia any member, or the family OF any
member II 10 to be presumed that such appoint
