par Hon. A. w. Lamb, Of Missouri has, we
regret to learn, been detained for the last fort
night, from his seat in the House Of Represen-
tatiyes by indisposition.
CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the deficiency bill
was further considered. An amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Badger, repeating that part Of
the act regulating the public printing which
provides that, where both houses shall order
the printing of the same documents, the work
shall be executed by the printer Of the house
FIRST ordering the same, was debated at length,
and adopted-yeas "a, nays l3. Mr.. Thomp-
son, Of Kentucky, and Mr.. Hamlin then moved
amendments for the continuation of works on
various custom-houses, and after debate, and
without taking any question thereon, the SEN
ate adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives, N. G.
Taylor, member elect from Tennessee, in the
place Of Brookins Campbell, deceased, ap-
peared and qualified. The bill providing for
the construction Of six frst-class steam-frigates
was considered in Committee Of the Whole on

ration Of the departments would be destroyed,
and one department would become subordinate
and subservient to another.
There is another aspect of this subject. A
combination might take place between the Ex-
ecutiye and number of members of Congress.
Thus such members of Congress might say to
the President: We will vote for any measure
you may recommend, or will vote for any man
whose election you may desire, provided you
will give us such and such appointments either
for ourselves or some of our constituents.
We have called attention to this subject for
several reasons. One is that it has been much
talked of in privateand thousand things
are known and talked about in Washington
that the journals here say nothing about.
Another reason is, that we feel it to be our
duty to hold all public men to strict confor-
nifty to the Constitution and strict accounta-
bility to the people. We want to see the Con-
stitution preserved in its letter and spirit. Too
much is suppressed sometimes from fear,
sometimes from favor, sometimes from policy.
We do not doubt that what we have said will
be misconstrued. We cannot help it. tits right.
We would wound no one, we would offend no
one. We disclaim any such purpose. But let
who will take offence, we have written what we
have written.

where the people achieved great amount OF
liberty without great struggle? No. Aris-
tocrats die hard. Alexander Hamilton CON
tended long and strenuously that the people
were incapable Of selfgovernment, and that
to allow them to rule would be but the precur-
sor Of anarchy, confusion, and utter ruin. And
will not his followers do likewise, and invent
every pretext that the fertile mind Of man
can conjure up, to prevent the spread and es-
tablishment Of the doctrine Of popular sover-
eighty? But they will be as unsuccessful in
the future as they have in the past. In this,
as all other questions, the people so long as
they are true to themselves, must be victorious,
and federalism will receive another of those
powerful blows which from time to time in this
country have been dealt upon it."
Washington sentinel., 1854-03-31
THE ANr1-NEaRAsKA SAINTS.

As numerous as is the band of anti.Ne-
braska clergymen, they and their friends begin
rather to quail under the warm and emphatic
disapproval of their course, generally expressed
by the orderly, sober, and right-thinking peo-
pie and presses Of the country They begin
to feel, too, that, however much influence and
consideration they may enjoy in their pastoral
character, this age is too enlightened to admit
Of the arbitrary rule Of ambitious and domineer-
ing preachers. The dark ages have, we hope,
forever passed away, and priestcraft has passed
away with them. As right-minded people ex-
pect women to attend to domestic concerns,
doctors to sick people, lawyers to litigation,
farmers to agriculture, politicians to politics,
so do they expect clergymen to be devoted to
the cure of souls.
The National Era, of this city, the great gun
of abolitionism, is rather gravelled by the re-
proofs we have felt it our duty to administer
to the political preachers. 1t seems to think
that we would have had nothing but kind
words for them had they acquiesced in slavery
as "a necessary part Of the religion of the
humble Saviour" All that we have to say on
that subject is, that we desire the clergy,
whether for or against Nebraska, to keep the
subject disconnected from religion.
The doctrines of the divine Founder of the
Christian system, like the Constitution under
which we live, neither establish nor inhibit
slavery. They permit and protect it. Under
those doctrines man may hold slaves and be
Christian, or man may refuse to hold slaves
and be Christian. Men are not commanded
by the Saviour, in any Of his teachings, to
abolish slavery. So far from their being any
command to abolish it. certain rules are pre-
scribed for the treatment Of men held in SER
vitude and bondage.
We would not presume to question the right
Of the clergy to hold and to express political
opinions. But, as the doctrine of government
non-intervention in regard to slavery is taught
both in the Constitution and in the New Testa-
ment, we think that the doctrine ought to be
respected by religious teachers.

SENATOR BRoDHEAD.

Among all the statesmen and public men of
the north, we do not know one who has been a
frmer, more consistent, and undertaking advo-
cate Of the true doctrines of the Constitution
than Senator Brodhead, of Pennsylvania. He
has never permitted himselft to be carried away
by any Of the excitements and agitations that
frighten so many timid and time-serving poiti-
clans from their propriety. He makes the Con-
stitution Of his country the guide and chart Of
his political course. He does not ask-how does
this man think, or that man think? He does
notinquire this course be popular, and that
course be unpopular? He simply asks him
self which is the right course. What does the
Constitution require? What is the duty ofthe
patriot? He is no legislator for sections and
classes. He looks at the wants, interests, and
rights ofthe whole country; and when he makes
up his mind neither ambition, nor gold, nor per-
suasion, nor threats, can exert any influence
over him.
We are pleased to learn from the Allentown
(Pa.) Democrat that Senator Brodhead's course
and speech on the Nebraska bill command the
approval of his constituents. That paper says:
eve have this week departed from our gen.
eral rule in regard to the publication of con-
gressional speeches in our columns, by occupy
ing our first page mainly with the speech Of
Senator Brodhead on the Nebraska bill. In
doing this, we think we render our readers a
service, as the speech will doubtless be read
with profit by all who take an interest in this
much agitated question. Mr.. Brodhead takes
to the Constitution in every agitation Of this
question, irrespective of the abstract right or
wrong Of slavery. In this position he is sus-
tanned by large majority Of his constituents,
as we'll as by the patriotic men of all parties.
Read the speech. 1t will repay perusal."

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN IOWA ON THE
NEBRASKA BILL.

We are pleased to learn from the Iowa jour
nails that the democracy of that young and
growing State are firm and united in their sup
port of the great measure now before Congress
The Keokuk Dispatch says: "We are glad to
see that the democratic press Of Iowa is almost
unit upon this subject. We rejoice that
those papers which we're timid and vascillating
for time, are becoming firm again, and are
working manfully for the triumph of that great
and glorious principle, which is the corner.
stone of our political faith; the capability and
the right Of the people to govern themselves
Already opposition is being disarmed, and the
excitement, which bade fair to rival that of 1850,
is beginning to die away. We do not doubt
for a moment that the measure will receive the
sanction of the House by decided majority.
And yet to imagine that there will be no agita-
ton after it has passed would betoken singu-
lar forgetfulness of the worlds history, and a
wonderful ignorance of the vengeful fanaticism
Of abolitionism and Of the desperation Of the
whig party.

"The State legislature, on Saturday last, re.
solved to remove the seat of government from
Benicia to Sacramento. Tomorrow they con-
vene at the latter place, which, it is to be
hoped, will now become the permanent capital.
Thus you will see that, from the first organiza-
ton Of our State, the capital has been no two
years located at one point. From San Jose to
Vallejo, from Vallejo to Sacramento, from Sac
ramento to Benicia, and now from Benicia
back to Sacramento"

"Crime has somewhat diminished with us
for the past few months. There has been no
calendar for criminal court since the first
legislature sat in this city, which had not a
murder case to grace i, save the present one-"
"Divorces are Of more frequent occurrence
in this State than in any other of the Union.
So many are there, that now the papers give
them under head like deaths, marriages, and
births. The cause Of these descriptions are
easily traced. Both sexes assume course OF
conduct Of much greater latitude in this coun-
try than is ever indulged in in the older States.
To say that money is at the bottom of majo-
rity Of cases, is but simple truth"
"Coal mines Of great importance have lately
been discovered in portions of Oregon Terrific
ry and Puget sound. To work one of these a
company has been formed in this city, whose
capital is 100000. Already some one hun
dred tons have been brought to market, and is
proved to be Of superior.quality. The company
have contracted to deliver $500 tons within
four months. This, at $25 per ton, (less than

HCaptain John 7. Wright, known as the

New Orleans and Galveston steam routes, is,
I learn, to petition the Post Office Department
for the granting to himself of the mail contract
