much to remove the censure which
her unfortunate position drew upon

. MAN AND WoMAN.-Between male
and female there is difference Of kind
only, not degree. Man is strong, wo-
men is beautiful; man is daring and
confident, woman is diffidcnt and unas-
suming; man is great in action, woman
in suffering; man shines abroad, wo.
man ut home; man talks to convince,
woman to persuade; man has rugged
heart, woman soft and tender one;
man prevents misery, woman relieves
it; man has science, woman taste; man
has judgement, woman sensiblity; man
is being Of justice, woman an angel
Of mercy. These comparative char
acteristics represent man rs the head,
woman as the heart; or, man the intel
lect, woman the affection. And in so
doing, we submit that no position de-
rogatory to woman is involved there
in. We are, as a simple fact, more
influenced by our hearts than our
heads-by our love than our convic-
tion. While physical and mental en-
doWments make forcible appeal to
the senses, yet it is susceptible of cx.
perimental proof that moral power
really controls and decides the fate of
the world; and as it is in this latter
particular that woman pre.eminently
shines, we should contend, SO far from
her being mans inferior, that she is,
at present at least, his decided superi.
sor. With this view of their relative
position before, us, we shall be the
better able to definitely calculate the
value of the sexes to each other.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH II. 1858
Congress.

The late Congress, which adjourned on the 4th
of March, 1853, at II NJ, seems to have finally
brought itself up to working, after consuming
mnch of the early part of the session in useless
resolutionsfand idle. pIoftleSS debate. Had it but
labored through the entire session it did for the
last two weeks, much useful legislation would
have been perfected which will yet have to claim
the attention of the next Congress or subsequent
ones. Many private bills were passed, and in look
ing over the list in the National Intelligencer, of
Monday. we looked with some anxiety to fiCd one
for the relief of Patrick Gass, which reported
long since, and which our representative made
strenuous efforts to reach during the session. We
failed to find it and presume it has not been passed
And while bills were passed for the relief of
George Poindexter and Charles ]. Fremont, ex
senators, and one of them more than millionaire,
the last survivor of the expedition of Lewis and
Clarke, now in his SD year, and verging on the
graves brink, is postponed and told to wait yet
little longer. The claims of the ex-senators may
be perfectly good, and of them have nothing
to say but we do think that the sorrows of a poor
old man, and one, who in the early days oil our Re-
public, contributed his part towards the exploration
of the vast region beyond the Rocky Mountains;
should have been respected and, if his claim was
meritorious, Congress should have done him justice
