TIE FREE DEmocRATIc SENAToRs.-"lon," :"
the Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun has the following:
The last scene in the Senate disclosed seme
views of political importance. We witnessed for
the first, but not perhaps for the last time, the
power of Free Soil Senators-Mr. Chase and
MIR. Summer. They defeated the almost unani-
nous will of the Senate upon the question of pub
fishing the Senate debates of the sessions in the
National Iotelllgencer. The incident shows that
what power they get they will use against both
of the regular organizations. 1t is to be hoped
their power will not be increased. Half doz-
en such might defeat any .healthy action" on the
part Of the Senate.
1t is Gully unhealthy action that they oppose,
and are not in favor of blood letting withou; just
cause.

II g. Senafnr

A U. S. Senator is to be chosen by our next
Legislature, to succeed Mr.. Chase. Mr.. Giddings
in speech at Columbus declared that he is not
and will not be candidate for the post-dec'ares
his preference for the reelection of Mr.. Chase.-
Mr.. Chase enjoys as he deserves not ouly the con-
fdence of the Independent Democracy. but also
generally the confdedce of the fair and liberal of
all parties. No better or more able man can be
returned to the Senate. With suitable effort
the Free Democracy may hold the balance of pow
er in the Legislature, and that balance may secure
proper representation in the U. S. Senate.

CLEVELAND FoREsr CIrY.--We are much
pleased with the tone and spirit of the Forest City
It's sprishtly paper, and conducted with ability.
1t has entered upon its second yeat, we pleas
ed to know, under favorable auspices. JAMES c.
MEDILL. brother of the Senior, has become asso-
cated with him Editor and Proprietor, which
additional strength must greatly increase the value
of the paper.
Though in the Wing ranks, we can cheerfuIly
speak good word for this poper, for Ike The New
York Tribune, it is liberal in tone and progressive
in spirit.
In entering upon its second year the Forest City
says:
But what pledges need we give for The future?
He who cannot be trusted without them, is not
safe TO trust after he has made them. We shall
therefore only. say. that the FOREST City in f,1-
tnre shall be more independent and less partisan;
more devoted to the public good, than party good,
progressive to discard errors, and conservative to
maintain rerities.
Neither shall it be welded to sms or dogma
tisms, nor shall ride hobby TO death, for we
hold that when Journal becomes the persistent
advocate Of idea, after that idea has lost its gen
eral interest, then it to be newspaper, and
becomes the muttering mouth piece of an iudivd
ual, or the intrusive organ of some clique.''
We like the fearless and healty spirit of the fol-
lowing:
Wilt Forest City compare its "Uncle Tom"
leader in Friday paper with its leader upon the
same subject which appeared some three months
since? What change hns come overthe sTirit
of our dreams "-Saadusky Register.
When we first read Uncls Tum's Cabin and
particularly after the Southern Press had SO fierce
ly assaed it as carcature and gross libel on the
South, we believed that its publication had done
harm, and that the characters too highly COL
ored. But when the people ofihe South had read
the book thousands of them excaimed--t is true!
F." We have Legrees, and st. Clair's, and Uncle
Toms among US. The system is accursed of God
and man.
When the Key made its appearance with its
crushing proofs, and clouds of with esses incontro-
ver,bIy substantiating every character of Uncle
Tom when we saw that the naked realities were
darker than tho darkest shadows it portrayed. and
fearfn!y common, our heart said with Southern
readers "ts true, pity lis, It's true" A change in
these respects came lie spirit of our drean,
as it has over that Of our up like neighbor; with
this difference, we have the irankness to confess
it--he dare not - Forest City.

Mrs. s,owcIn England.

Papers by the "Canada" give interesting descrp-
tions of the arrival aud movements of our distn-
guished countrywoman in England. Her landing
at Liverpool, on Sunday, the 9th of April, is thus
described by the Journal of that city:-
Mrs. Stowe, closely yelled. and leaning upon the
arm ofthe professor, was conducted to cab which
drove off to the residence of Mr.. John Cropper,
DingIe Bank. A very large number of persons had
collected 10 witness Mrs. Stoves landing; and as
the vehicle drove away, several hearty cheers
were given, to which she bowed her achnowl-
edgements MIR. John Cropper has been for some
time much indisposed; but his brother Mr. E iward
Cropper, held party on Mondsy morning at his
residence, TO meet Mrs. S owe ut breakfast.-
The Rev. DR.. NJ N eie and family, accompanied
by the Rev. MIR. Burgess of Chelsea, arrived ut
nine O'Clock, and the breakfast room was soon fill
cd with guests anxious TO pay their respects to the
illustIious authoress. Mrs. Stowe received the
warm congratulations of the 2nny with unaffect-
ed simplicity, and seemed utterly unconcious of
having done anything 10 merit such attention =
At the request of the respected host the Rev. DR..
M'Neile expressed TO Mrs. Stowe, in neat
terms and deep religious feeling, their hearty con-
graluations After breakfast Mr.. Edward Crop
per rose, and begged to add the name Ct Pro-
fessor Stowe to the congratuIa,ory address which
had teen SO beautifully made by DR.. M'Neile.-
Professor Stowe then said few words. Speak
ing of the success of his gifted ladys book, he sad
"IncredibIe os it may seem to those who are with
out prejudice, il is nevertheless fact that this
book condemned by the lending religious
newspapers in the United STATES as anti Christian
and its author associated with ni1els and disorgln-
izers. And had it sot been for the decided ex.
preston of the mind of English Christians and o
Christendom itself or this point there is reasan to
tear that the pro-slavery power Of The United
States would have succeeded in put ing the book
under foot"
Mrs. Stowe is reported quite recovered from
her recent indispositon. She proceeded to Glas-
gow' where she received with deareninp
shouts She then went 10 Grecnock She was

speech. full Of hope and sneou, agenlent to the
Free Soil party; and concluded by appealing his
hearers to give their earnest efforts to the
cause of freedom-it was d cause that cherished
BY man during life would expand his soul and en-
noble his existence, and that would cheer hfS
death bed with the reflection that he had NOT lived
in vain. since he had contributed something toward
the elevation and happiness Of an oppressed race.
To sentiment blending Liberty and the Union;
Hon. Charles Sumner responded. He was pleas
ed 10 speak TO sentiment always near his heart.
As lover of peace and concord, the Union he
must ever cherish. Gladly would he see ::iis :ias
blessed land Of Freedom lead the way. Loud
cile6rel. In6 Union never coulu DC surrendered

shall cease to roll its lordly foods TO the sea-
when the royal peaks of the Alleghanys are level
ed in the Gust-then, and till then, will the Un
ion be destroyed. Renewed eheers.l There
was one sentiment that he would ihuissolubly
weave into the memories of this festival, and is
was TIE personal duty and obligation that the
friends of freedom owe 10 the cause tApplausel
1t might be that his eyes, those of their hoR

of the shackles falling from the last save IN the
land; but that day TO come, sooner or IA

freedom are only creating days ofsorro@ and shame
to be mourned hereafter, by themselves and their
children. Enthusiastic cheering.l
Cassius NJ. Clay, of KY. was received with en-
thusiasm. He made lengthy speech. and con-
cluded by expressing his devotion to tho cause
and the hopes of it's advancement in Kenrucky.-
1t was because he loved the place Of his nativity,
and because of his belief TINT all men should do
something fot the srot that gave them birth, that
he would never yield the field ofaotlon he had cho-

We commence this week the Debate in the
Senate in which Senator Chase bore himself So
ably and honorably. 1t is surprising that Senator
Seward should introduce such resolution in be-
half Of the lnteligencer, and the fact that it was
defeated by the course pursued by BY Senator'S
Chase and Summer, shows the power of small
minority when armed with truth and justice.
We deem the debate SO important and interes-
ting, that we shall give it to our readers entire.
