uuder date of the 14th inst, says: "Tbe
general opinion here is that Congress
will suppress, at this session, so far As
practicable, any agitation of the slavery
topics. know some Senators. from the
North aud East. who voted against the
fugitive bill, and one OF two who spoke
against il, who are now utterly opposed
TO renewal of the discussion of the sub
ject In the House there are many men,
bers who, originally opposed the bill, but
ton of any project for repeal. Again,

intimates his purpose to veto amy bill 20
repeal the fugitive act. So it cannot be
repealed ill the session Of 1854, any

pass the present Senate, even if it passed
the House. AS to the next Congress, all
the indications, as to the constitution OF
both Houses, are. so far. decidedly adverse
to the success, in either House, Of every
project of repeal

it must be recolIected that whatever agita-
ZION of the slavery topic may occur at
this session is 10 come from Northern and
not Southern members. The South will
be quiet in Congress. if the Northern
members will suffer them TO be so.
The Southern States are agitated, it is
true; but if this session pass over quietly,
the Southern fever will come to safe
crisis, in very harmless convention of a
few Jealous politicians, as delegates from
only two or three Southern States
