WASHINGTON, "Wednesday, March D. lisa
A motion was made day before yester-
do, in the House. to suspend the rules, by Mr.
F,-cv NJ Ind in orcsr to introduce the Slavery
question.
II was supported by the votes OF sucn men a
-. p,oox.. JOSHUA r. GIpDiNes, TAYLOR o.
Oh;o. APPLETON and FuLLER OF Me-, rsAsLEK ana
B,nuAxp of n H., and other gentlemen VINO seem
de,s,mined that the agitation Of the sup9ee' Oh
slavery in Congress shall not saosde.
w. neg 10 know IL it is not enough that me Com
,,om;.e measures have settled al the issues fnas
s.ye crown out Of the Slavery question: Arc they
not adiustedi Is not the country uanquilsed there
On Do not the people repose in peace, North and
south. and desire no fruitless agitation Of this
ve1ed subject
If IL be 40. as We have been thousand times told
of late. WHY disturb this blissful condition. Why
do members of Congress, like Mr.. Books, Mr.. MAR
SHALL, Mr.. TAYLOR Of Ohio, Mr.. FULLER Of Maine
Mr.. GIpprses, Mr.. HOWE, and other gentlemen per-
sist in this course of pesent agitation 1t may be
that Mr.. GIpDNos finds his account In agitating
questions that have been settled-in keeping his
constituents on the qua by the frequent use Of
his v atchman's rattle of Slavery; but why gentle
mel situated like the New.York City members re.
presenting a great commercial metropolis, whose
interests are periled by agitation, should confeds-
rate with MI GIDDINGs, and eountenance these in
cendiary proc eedngs we are at loss TO conjecture
How long will uneasy, notorieC-leving Members
of Coneress continue to ride this malignant and in
fectous hobby, and neglect to attend to their proper
legislative duties 1t is surely hardly worth while to
waste months in discussing topics that have already
been acted upon and finally settled. And to perslss
in doing it is to exhibit degree of perversity and
fanaticism, that il quite intolerable This eternal
harping upon one strpg, this perpetual clinging to
one idea argues mental mbecility, distortion OF
Intellectual vision hallucination that is more ap
propriate to lunatic asylum than legislative body
One would think from the loud appeals and urgen'
conduct of certain men On this subject that there
was no other Interest in this country but slavery,
and no other property worth looking after but usi-
tive negroes. We can, in good degree, ex
cuse the fanaiisal devotion of the thoughts
of Southern men to this Slavery ism, for
it is their all. They breakfast, dine, and
sup upon Slavery. They sleep with it, and dream
OVERT. But for Northern men, who have other In
terests In their charge who have vast concerns, az
fectirg millions of men and millions OF money In the
Free States demanding their attention. it is wholly
rexcusable to be so wrapped up in this one idea of
Slavery and runaway negroes. We should like TO
impress upon these Northern negro men, that the
,ch,fe population, composing their conssituencie"
have some claim to their consideration, and we CON-
mend them to be looking after Aev interests instead
of being perpetually engaged in nosng out and
strainins their eyeballs over flying blacks Pray,
gentlemen leave your negro alone for at least
part of session, and let the legitimate business
of Congress flow on uninterruptedly.
sumptuous entertainment was given On board
the Baltic yesterday. There was entirely tcO much
crowd and too much liquor. The liberalsy OF the
proprietor was bused by promiscuous crowd who
resoted to the elegantly spread tables of the ship for
grand carousal. The vessel was in fine order, and
her wonderful machinery and elegant appointments
was the theme Of universal admiration.
No opinion can yet be formed to the probability
of the OF Mr. CoLLIsss application for addi-
tional pay. There are grave and gro wing oblec-
lions to the whole scheme Of bounties 10 Atlantic
Steam Navigation. In its present form, 1t tends to
the encouragement of all rival enterprise, and is SO
far of injurious tendency. Properly to encourage
Aa-'-~. shonid raise the shield of pro-
lection the entire interest, -~rstition
of the freest kind among our own capitalists and
artizans. We can never establish a strong and
thrifty growth by liberal gifts to particular indi-
viduals.
The Union of this morning contains jeremiad
over the perils that now encompass the party, de.
claring that it was never before in such jeopardy
Aleading Democratic Senator being asked what was
the matter the reply was that the danger arose out
of the fact that the job Of Census Printing had not
been YET given to that paper. Until this is done,
clouds and darkness oyerspread its prospects,, and
prevent the sight Of a single CLEAN Of sunshine.
