The New York Tribune says Of Jenny Lind's
husband:
che is gentleman and man of genius-of
Hebrew origin, we believe. We well RENE mber
his performances on the piano-forte, too good for
popular appreciation, and never deviating from
the severity Of art TO draw out the public plauds
by tricks Of cap-trap, which he had dexierity
enough to do if he had chosen. On those occa-
sions Jenny, who was not on the stage at the
moment, used often TO stand forward in her pr-
vate box and clap her hands vigorously in sight
Of the audience, who by no means seemed TO
share her admiration for the pianist. However,
she understood his merits great deal better than
they did.

Another step in Repudiating the
Declaration of Independence.

Clingman OF N. c., the other day introduced
the following resolution into Congress:
ReSOlved, That in tine opinion of the House
OF Representatives, rs the unquestionable right
OF each one Of the States to exclude, either
wholly or partially from her territory, negroes,
either free or slaves, and that the exercise of
the right affords no just ground Of complaint to
either States or nntious.
The immediate object of this movement lie
said to be to obtain national sanction for I'M
prlsoning colored seamen and other free blacks,
when caught in Southern rorts, and selling them
as slaves. The ultimate object is the establish
ment Of national principle making the whole
African race incapable OF American citizenship.
The Southern papers boast, that, in view of the
late triumphant progress of the slave power, this
principle can soon be carried through The whole
North, and intimate that there is already ma.
lority in Congress in favor of it, Perhaps there
IS, aud perhaps vote might be obtained in that
Republican body declaring negroes monkeys,
and the Declaration of Independence lie. 1t
would not surprise US much more than SOME
things they have done within the last two years,

the present wing administration in which he
was a prominent architect, and has been an

ed opinion among the members was, that
the expenditures Of the Government should
in no event, exceed about twenty.one mil
lions of dollars per annum and remem'
Der very we'll that the expenditures by Gen.
Jackson's and Nj. Van Buren's adminlstra'
ton of about twenty-oDe million of dollars
per annum, during what is denomlnated
the Harrison campaign, was held in contrast
with the expenditures of the administration
under John @. Adams, as being perfectly
enormous, and in the highest degree cor.
rupt. But what now is the state Of things
These expenditures have been CARED from
twenty millions up to about fifty millions oil
dollars it is a painful duty for me to dis
charge, when say, what verify believe
that corruption and extavagance in Gov
eminent have increased just about in the
increase of our xpendltures-more thar
one hundred per cent. Ii is high time thai
public attention should be called to thu
matter. Indeed, our government has made
progress, and | am sorry to say it, in cor
ruption, during the lew last years, which
should awaken and alarm all good citizens

herself through an opening in the ice into the
river which flowed near by. Her wahher wo
had left the room for the purpose OF procuring
sone medicine, Immediately returned and OH
finding her absent gave the alarm. Pursuit was
instantly made by following her tracks, which
only resulted IN her friends becoming painfully
aware of the wateTy grave she had found
Several remarks which had fallen from her lips
on the day preceding and also on the night OF
her dccease, were then recollected, which show
ed that she was laboring under a temporary
alteration Of mind. The deceased was 2Lyears
of age and the mother of an infant week old
She was an amiable young woman and her loss
will be long and deeply nourned by her friends
} to whom the circumstances Of her decease mus
be peculiarly affecting"

with contempt and disgrace for attempting to
pervert its own laws and institutions to sub
serve unholy sectional purposes, that government
is our own; and doubly contemplate should it
become in this disclosure of its pitful impotence
to commit an outrage for which it had SO fully
