Slavery Discussion in Congress.

fSidfCiy f2tSCuSSlOu SOHSECoSs
The following remarks are from the
Detroit Free Press. In our opinion the
South has just as many Smiths as the
North, and because some ranting-raving
raring fellow from the south bawls as loud
as Mr.. Smith from the North, it does not
say that the whole southern people are re-
sponsible for the noise. Not at all. The
course recommended by the Free Press is
all very well, but still we think to some
extent, the North must bear the blame of
some of the agitation. But here is the
article: f~ "
Are we mistaken Interpretations we have
hitherto entertained that the South desire
to keep slavery agitation outof Congress?
1t would seem so, if we take the course
pursued by some of the Southern mem-
bers thus early in the session as an index
OF Southern policy. What do we behold?
Gerrit Smith, the acknowledged leader of
the Northern Abolitionists, seized, asevery
body supposed he would, the first posi-
bic occasion in the House to make a fla
ming cut and !out Abolition speech. 7Hus
far the introduction of the prescribed top
ic could not, of course, be prevented. But,
instead of allowing the speech of Mr..
Smith to fail still born from the lips of it's
maker, and to find its way to the public
through the few Abolition newspapers that
still vegetate in the North, two or three
members from the South mast needs reply
70 ~ and thus once more reopen the ogita-
ton OF tie Staee2y question in Congress-?
The thing is a mistake-not, probably.
by any means, afatal mistake, but verv
serious mistake, and one that can not be
too soon rectitied. Let Smith, and Gid
dlngs, and such like, make anti-slavery
speeches to their hearts content. The
flame that they can kindle will be small
and Pickering, if the South will not add
fuel to it.
This whole question of agitation rests
with members of Congress from the South.
Ii they want agitation, there are Just
enough Abolitionists in either House to
furnish food for it. The entire session, if
they so will it, may be taken up with prof
ltless, but exasperating discussions. The
old sore may be re-opened, and the whole
country again launched upon the sea of
civil dlscord. But if they do not want
agitation, let them forbear agitation them
selves. Let them, cease to take notice of
Glddlngs' harrangues, and Smiths phil
llpes. Let them, in short, ignore in
Congress the whole subject Of slavery.
Abolitionism could not be more highly
gratified than by the present attitude of
affairs in Congress. Smith has succeeded
IN drawing the South into combat thereat
his adherents greatly rejoice. There is
just one way to ''crush out'' abolitionism,
and that is to let it alone-give it rope.

No Sabbath.

In 'PrIZe Essay on the Sabbath"
written by journeyman printer in Scot
land, there occurs the following passage:
"Y Yokefellow! think how the abstract
struction Of the Sabbath would hopeless
ly enslaye the working classes, with whom
we are identified Think of labor thus
going on in one monotonous and continu-
Gus and eternal cycle-limbs forever on
the rack, the fingers ever playing, the eye
balls forever straining, the brow forever
sweating, the feet forever plodding, the
brain forever throbbing, the shoulders
forever dropping, the Joins forever aching,
and the restless mind forever scheming.
Think of the beauty it would efface,
of the merry -heartedness it would extin-
guish; of the giant strength that it would
tame; of the resources Of nature thatit
would exhaust; of the aspiration it would
crush; of the sickness it would breed; of
the projects itwould wreck; of the groans
it would export; of the lives it would I'M
molate; and of the cherries graves that
itswould prematurely dig! See them,
toiling and moiling, sweating and fretting,
grinding and hewing, weaving and spin
ming, sowing and gathering, moving and
reaping, razing and building, digging and
planting, unloading and storing, striving
and struggling-in the garden and in the
field, in the granary and in the barn, in
the factory and in the mill, in the ware
house and in the shop, on the mountain
and in the ditch, on the roadside and in
the wood, in the city and in the country,
on the sea and on the Shore, on the earth,
in the days of brightness and of gloom.
What a sad picture would the world pre-
sent if we had no Sabbath
New MODE OF SwINDLING IN New
YoRK-A respectable lady in Brooklyn
has preferred serious charge of swind-
ling against DR.. VIM. H. Harris, col
ored man in New York. tits alleged that
he professed to beamidium in spiritualism,
and declared he could at any moment
commune with spirits upon any subject;
also, that he was in possession of bottle
containing holy water, which he could
touch, and with the announcement of pres
to change, would give to his applicants cer-
tain lottery numbers, which would draw
prizes varying from $500, $4,000, to ST.
900, and occasionally 100000 prize
turns up. He also introduced her to man
named D. G.. Gomperts, as a Southern
gentleman largely engaged in the lotteries
OF New Jersey, Maryland, and other
States, and further stated that he, (the
white man, could give the lady certain
lottery numbers s'that would draw any
amount of money" This appeared to
inspire the lady, and she consented to ad-
vance 800 to Gomperts, who, it's alleg-
ed, promised to give her the lucky num-
bers in ten days. The time expired, but
the lucky numbers, with the 100, were
among the missing. Harris, Gomberts,
and colored woman named Cole has
been arrested-Er.

CHERRY PICTORIAL
For the rapid Cure Of
COUGHS, COLDS, N0ARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WMOOPING-COUGH,
GROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.

Many years Of trial, instead of iupairing the
public confidence in this medicine has won for
It an appreciation and notoriety by far exceeding
the most sanguine expectation of its friends. No
thing bat its intrinsic virtues, and the Unmisakea-
bic benefit conferred on thousands OF sufferers,
could originate and maintain the reputation il en-
Joys. While many inferior remedies thrust upon
the community, have failed and been discarded.
this has gained friends by every trial, conferred
benefits on the afflicted which they can never for
get, and produced cures too numerous and too re-
markable to be forgotten.
While it is a fraud on the public 10 pretend that
any one medicine will infallby cure-stl there
is abundant proof that the CHERRY PICTORIAL
does not only as general thing, but almost inva-
rably cure the maladies for which it is employed.
As time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
bc7tre!iance Of the afflicted from the og-cabin Of
the American peasant, 10 the palaces Of European
Kings. Throughout this entire country, in every
State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it con-
tains, CHERRY PEcTonAL is known rs the best
remedy eXtant for diseases of the Throat and
Llngs, and in many foreign countries il IS coming
to be most extensively used by their most inteli1
gent physicians. In Great Britain, France and
Germany, where the medical sciences have reacb
ed their highest perfection, CHERRY PEcTonAL is
introduced, and in constant use in the armies, Hos
pitfalls, Aims Houses, Public Institutions, and IN
domestic practice, as the surest remedy thei. al
tending Physicians can employ Cor the more dan
RerouS anecuons OF lile lungs. ALSO IN milder ca
ses and for children it is safe, pleasant and efec-
tual to cure. In fact, some of the most Aattering
testimonials we receive have been from parents
who have found il eficacious in cases particularly
incidental to childhood.
The CHERRY PICTORIAL is manufactured by a
practical Chemist and every ounce of il under his
own eye, with invarIable accuracy and care
II is sealed and protected by law from counter
feits, consequently can be relied on as genuine
without adulteration.
We have endeavored here TO furnish the commit
nifty with medicine Of such intrinsic superiorifv
and worth as should commend itself 10 their con-
hdence-a remedy at once safe, speedy and effect
ual, which this has by repeated and countless tri-
ais, proved itself to be- and trust by great care in
preparing it with chemical accuracy, of uniform
strength, to afford physicians new agent on which
they can rely for the best results and the afflicted
with remedy that will do for them all that med
icne can do. .....
