The last Triumph OF PriGo.

"Proteus," of the Newark Daily -4G.
UeTtiSer, in a letter from New York, says:
The wife of man of means, and the
daughter Of wealthy citizen of this e-
ty-peopie too fond of show-recently
died. she had been called beautiful be-
fore family of children had gathered
round her, and she had not renowned
her claim to that title. She died, and
large concourse was invited to the funeral
The coffin was made of rose wood, inlaid
with silver, lined with plated saIin. The
whole top was removed, and the deceased
lay in state in her narrow home. She
was dressed in a white merino robe, made
like morning gown, faced with white sat
in, prolusely quilted and ornamented.-
The sleeves were open, similarly lined and
wrought-a stom acher of the richest en-.
broidery covered the breast, whence all
life had forever fed. The head was eoy-
cred by a cap of choice lace, and a wreath
OF fresh flowers arranged around The
hands We're crossed upon the breast, with
tie fingers c0vered aclth e.rpeaSire Jeaeetry
which seemed to sparkle, as it in glad
pride that the eye was dim for ever
Thus bedizened, poor food for worms, she
went down into the grave, there to await
her God"

Strong and Manly Language.

The Pennsylvania" stigmatized elm

dent of the North American, as an sim
portation" into Pennsylvania. "Inde.
pendent replies, that although he is a
native of a Southern State, yet that he
is an adopted citizens and voter of Penn
sylvania-that he voted for Gov Johnston
in lS4S, and should vote for him in 1851
He then gives utterance to the following
manly language, which, we fear the
self-hke spirit of the "Pennsylvanian"
could not appreciate:
Il am Southern man by birth, BY
education, by all the affections which
cluster around the hearthstone; by the
ties of childhood and friendship; and l
claim to know something too, of Southern
character and Southern institutions. At
the South, as in the North, is my humble
sphere, l have been opposed to the ez-
tension of human slavery in any form,
and | still hope to cherish that principle
until my dying day, whether that slavery
shall assume the shape of oppressed sert'
dom under European despotism, or the
equally obnoxious form of black bondage
there or elsewhere. These sentiments
were instilled into my mind by the WI
tings of Jefferson, Madison, and the pa
triots or their times, and | shall endeaVof
to cultivate them until better men appear
to instruct US more wisely.

or The recent election in Virginia for
members of Congress, resulted IN the choice
of I3 Locofocos aud Whigs--same as IN
last Congress. The vote on the new Constr
tuition is overwhelming in favor Of 1t. An
election for State officers under 1t will soon
be held; when the Wings talk of prospect
of carrying the State, in consequence of the
extension of the right Of suffrage by the new
Constitution.

From the ". Y. Tribune.
Tri.e genate's bOubie Miease--
who look aud who refused IL.

We have already called attention to the
fact that. in defiance of what appears to us
the clear dictates of natural justice and OF
positiye law, a majority of the United States
Senators holding over from the last to the
present Congress helped themselves to some
Forty thousand Dollars extra from the Fed
eral Treasury in the guise of Constructive
Mileage for suppositous journey from Wash
iuton to their several homes and back again
between the 81 and 9th days of March last.
Having now.the facts more completely be-
fore US, we propose to show individually who
took and who refused this enormous gouge.-
Bat first as to the preliminary facts:
. The u. S. Senate transacted little or no
business during the, first two of the three
months to which the last session of Congress
was limited by the Constitution. The daily
sittings scarcely averaged two hours length,
and rarely were held more than four days in
any week. Ifany Senator ventured a word
in favor of giving more time to business, he
was sneered down as demagogue by the old
sta rers, and the old game ofdo-nothing elabor-
ately persisted in. Finally, as the Session
drew near its close, a ma jority of the Oppo-
stion Members united in conspiracy to stave
off and utterly prevent decisive action on the
River and Harbor Improvement bill by mo-
wing amendments, talking against time. read
ing old reports, &c. In this way the last week
ofthe Session was mainly wasted, and the 3lst
Congress finally adjourned at noon on the 4th
of March, the conspiracy having succeeded
in staving off decisive vote on the River
and Harbor bill, which was finally given up
BY its friends at A. NJ. on the 4th Of March
in order to save the vitality necessary Appro-
priation bills The desperate struggle on the
River and Harbor bill had prevented decisive
action on much important Executive business,
! compelling President Fillmore to convene the
| aeW Senate on the 9TH Of March expressly
to transact that business. The new Senate
accordingly met, remained in session ten days,
| for which each Senator received his So per
diem. or $50 in all, while the neto Senators,
who had been summoned to Washington on
purpose to attend this Special Session, receiv-
ed also their Mileage for the journey, as was
right. We don't say the number of miles
for which they took mileage was right in ev-
cry or any case; it may or may not have been
butt these Senators were entitled TO Mile
| ace and took IL as tolOWS: .-. .tt

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
BY MRS. sIGOURNEY.

THERE is much clamor in these
days OF progress, respecting grant
Of new rights, or an extension Of
privileges for our sex. A powerful
moralist has said, that "In conten-
tons for power, both the philosophy
and poetry of life are dropped and
trodden down" Wonld not a still
greater loss accrue to domestic hap
Plness, and to the interests of well
balanced society, should the innate
efficacy and prerogatiye Of woman,
as woman, be forfeited Or sacrificed?
81 have given her as helpmeet,"
said the Voice that cannot err, when
it spake unto Adam, in the cool of
the day, amid the trees of Paradise
Not as toy, clog, a wrestler, :.
prizc-fghter. No; "a helpmeet, suca
as was fitting for man to desire, and
tor woman to become.
Since the Creator has assigned
different spheres of actiou for the
different sexes, it is to be presumed,
from His unerring wisdom, that there
is work enough in each department
to employ them, and that the faith
ful performance of that work viii be
for the benefit Of both. If he has
made one, the presses Of the inner
temple, committing to her cahrge It's
sacred shrine, its unrevealcd sancli-
ties, why should she seek 10 mingle
in the warfare that may thunder at
its gates or rock its turrets? Need
she be again tempted by pride, Or
curiosity, Or glozing words, to bar
ter her own Eden?
The true nobility of woman is to
keep her own sphere, and to adorn
it, not like the comet, daunting and
perpIexing other systems, but as
the pure star, which is the first to
light the day, and the last to leave
it. lfshe share not the fame Of the
ruler and the blood sheddcr, her
good works, such as "become those
who profess godlinoss," though they
leave no deep "foot-prints on the
sands of time may find record in
the Lambs Book Of Life"
Mother. are not our rights suiIf-
GENTLY eXtensive-the sanctuary Of
home, the throne Of the heart, the
"mouIding Of the whole mass OF
mind in IFS first lormation?" Have
we not power enough in all realm Of
sorrow and suGering-oyer all forms
Of ignorance and want-amid all
ministrations Of loAe, from the cra-
led dream to the sepulchre?
So, let us be content and dilicent;
ave, grateful and joyful, making this
brief life hymn Of praise, until call
ed 10 that choir which knows no
di5cord, and whose melody is eter-
nal.
