THE PRESENT CONGRESS.


The TribuHc's Washington Correspondent says Of
the present Congress- .... ..a
The remark here is common that the present is
the most liberal Congress which has assembled
since the anti-Slavery agitation cOinmmenccd. 1t
Is true, Us you assert, that bold and manly men
have always made themselves heard on the subject
OF Slavery, but never, ] assure you, with the pa
uence and equanimity which are now observable.
rms state CT things ARISES from the mutual dc
pendenee OF men OF the most opposite opinions up
ON each other: and may be regarded as the first
fruit of the dissolution aud decay of the old par
tics. The party which supports the Presidents
policy is composed Of every extreme. There is no
common fundamental principle in its platform. 1t
embraces nntSlayery men, pro-Slavery men, and
tmid Conservatives, all acquicscing in the cxpcdi
cncy OF supporting the Administration but for We
ry different reasons. In like manner the opposi-
ton IS made up of the most discordant clements
but which are for the present hushed into silence
ny the common purpose of oycrthrowing tho Adj
mlnistration. With such nicely balanced forces on
either side, i would be incxpcdient to denouncc
AbolItionism in the old stereotypcd style. Aboli-
uonism may be put to better uses, and why spoil a
iavoritc measure by the rciteraton of State abuse
or Napid denunci0tions without truth or reason to
support them Such is the reasoning Of polit
clans.
But besides this Fictitious cause for the tocr-
ant feeling among politicians | believe that there
exists real aud substantial progress in public
opinson-a conviction which is daily strengthening,
North and South that Slavery is temporary insti-
tuition, which no platforms compromises can per-
petuate. The pro-Slavery sentiment reached its
eliminating point at the close Of the first half of
the nineteenth century and the appearance of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin was co-cval with the beginning Of
the second half. The appearance Of that wonder
ful production of genius marks new era in our
history, and has contributed more than any other
cause to the visible change in public sentiment.

LIGHT AT THE SouTH.-GOycmor johnson, of
Tennessee, in his recent message to the Legsla-
ture comes out nobly in favor of education, as a
for the elevation of labor and the perpetuity
of free institutions and also in favor Of giving II
homestead of 100 acres of the public lands, upon
condition Ofsettlement and cultivation. But, what
is more remarkable still, he rccommendson amend
ment of the Constitution of the United States, so
that the People may elect the President by direct
vote. Wesuppose that he means that every vote,
whether at the North or the South, should count
one, which would completely upset the threc-iitths
Slave basis, so far as concerns the election of Pres
idcnt, and reduce the Shareholders 10 Il hopeless
minority. That such u proposition should come
from Slaycholding State Isl cheering sign of the
times Standard.

TUE Medina GAZETTE is the successor of the
hdHd Why. The Gazette in its Introductory
says:
The professions which the Wing party of Ohio
and Medina county made Of opposition TO slavery
extension, pr1pngandism and pcrpctuatiun, in 1871
were acknowledged to be correct even by the most
ardent men Of the Free Soil party. The main diff
ference was in the mode of carrying out these
principlcs-wc and our fellow Wings contending
that the Wing party was the most efficient instru-
ment for that purpose, and the Free Soers aborinc
to convince us that separate organization was the
only available weapon of warfare against slavery
Whether the latter true then not lre beiiere
Il IS t'7'e NOW, and in sentiment and action, WE
AXE WITH THEN. Whatever effect il NAV have
upon our business or otherwise, we have no hesi-
tation in declaring honest impression that the
Wing party, as n National organization, is pledged
to the sustenance of the Fugitive law and inipo-
tent for good in any Anti-Slayery sense and that
many of the leading Wings of even our own State
are bound up in cold conservatism which has
smothcred what We believe the honest impulses of
the mass OF Ohio Wings, rendering the party as an
organization, inefficient for the Accomplishment of
that Ant-Slavcry influence which it might and
ought TO exert at home and abroad. Hence our
efforts, however humble, shall hereafter be cxcred
to UNITE AND COMBINE THE ENTIRE ANTl-SLANERY
ELEMENTS or MEDINA COUNTY, whether its compon-
cnt parts may have heretofore eenknown as Wings,
Democrats, or Free Soiler, under whatever party
name thoy may assume"
That looks like real progress. We hope the
aboitionists of Medina will he so active and faith
u to sustain the Editor in his new position, and
lead him and all others like him forward in the
warfare for freedom. Faithful, mcompromising
agitation will do it,

Senate came into the the hail. You will rccollcct
him rs the clergyman who went into the cars to
greet Hope H. Slater, when he had his ifty-two
victims on the car for Baltimore. Sliccr walked
along the aisle and without needing the sghs and
groans, and agony of the victims on each side of
him, he graspcd the hand of the slave dealer with
great cordiaity but word of pity for the suffer
ing, downtroddcn Of Gods poor escaped his lips
and while SLATER was engaged in the preparation
OF crime revolving to our natures, Sccr uttered
no reproof by word or look.
As | was saying, he entered the hall while Mr..
Smith was showing up the hoathenism of this
same slave trade. Scer looked ut him, listened,
stroked back his hair, groaned in spirit, and went
to some southern Shareholders for consolation. lie
appeared truly distressed; and have no doubt
feared the Union between the sayc-trade and the
churches in this metropolis will be dissolved. For
you must understand that members Of all the
Churches here breed and sell slaves.

KENTUCKY AND THE CoNrRoNIsE.--Govcrnor Pow
ell, of Kentucky, in his message has the following
in reference to the compromise and the Presidents:
The able and patriotic Chief Magistrate of the
republic, in his inaugural address, and in his
message to the present Congress, has indicated n
determination to see that the compromise measures
passed by the Congress of the United States in
1850, carried out in good faith--to restore as
far rs possible, that good feeling aud harmony
which should exist among sister states forming
one great confodcmey-and to see that all the
rights guaranteed by the Federal Constitution are
extended to each and all the states and that the
Union be preserved.
The distinguished citizen at the head of the ma
tional administration, will find Kentucky ready to
cooperate most heartily with him in his patriotic
efforts to preserve the Cnion and maintain invio-
late the constitution, and to uphold unimpaircl
the rights Of the states and that nationality which
is based upon the guarantees of the constitution
under which we have enjoyed such uncxamplcd
happiness and prosperity. Kentucky will stand
by the Constitution and the Union and will at all
times he ready to protect the one and defend the
other, whenever assailcd whether by traitors from
within or foes from without.
