F. DOUGLASS IN CONGRESS-.


The South is prospecting on the probable advent
of Fredcsiek Douglass in Congress. The lGcli-
mond Dispatch does it in this wise
FRED DoucrAss.-The talked Of election of Fred
Douglass to the house of Representatives from the
Monroe District New York will be attended with
very considerable difficulties. The New York Er-
press points out some of these. The qualification
of the sable delegate will be denied, the Express
thinks, by aority of the 1Iouse, and he will be
sent back to his constituents. OF course the cleo
ton of that negro would be intended to break up
the House in "a row and to dissolve the Union, the
only practical result which it would be at all likely
to produce.
Another difficulty occurs to us in the way of
Freds taking his seat. lie is fugitive slave and
his master if living, or his heirs, if dead, will be
very likely to claim and seize Fred, if he ever
shows himself on slave territory. Although justly
considering him worthless negro, and never max
inc any efforts as yet to get him back, it will be
their duty, should he have the impudencc to come
to Washington, to reclaim him and put him back
in the tobacco field. Here he will be made much
more useful member of society than he would pos
sibly be in Congress.
At the same time, we have no doubt that Fred
is entirely worthy to represent any constituency
which would elect negro to represent them lie
is probably, bad as he is, better man than Gid
dings or Grecly, Raymond, and, if they ure will
irg to associate with him, he can have no obcc-
ton. But if he comes South, he will come farther
South than Washington and be put at different
business than law making.

Indeed, it is questionable whether, had it not been

in projecting these resolutions and defending them,

from him, relative to the partial efforts making

Citations, will be pleased to see it,
A LETTER FROM JAMES G. BIRNEY.
To tie Editor Of tile Nep- York Tribune:
SIR: | sometimes think that my note to you
for took no copy of it--relerrcG to in your re-
marks on Mr.. Goodells article, imperfectly cx-
pressed what intended to say. meant this, that
lie our Northern people to consider themselves
limited to aHy object subordinate to the total 9x-
tincton of Slavery, they would probably rest on
that object, should it be attained. But |, by no
means intended that would not do all could do,
fairly connected with that cnd--as the repeal of
the Fugitive Slave act, the Trial by Jury ut the
place of capture, the repeal of the Nebraska and
Kansas act &C., &c. But the utter extinction of
Slavery must be our ultimdtun,. SERvITAs DELENDA
EST must be the rallying words on our banner.
WHY should we lop off the too-ar iutting branches
of an offensive thing, and not destroy the thing
itself that is continually producing thcm2
! You know as we'll as do that slavery nowhere
can remain stdoRa,y-that its eXaccrbations, as it
ADVANCES become more malignant-that the laws
it required half century ago, or even few years
ago, were much below what it now requires. Why,
Jury, except at the South, where we had supposed
its good d-lor-nothingncss could deceive no one the

things arc no more than Slavery nor requires. 4

cruel laws. hold it to be an impossible thing to

we continue to suffer Slavery among us. 90" may

dure for Il hundred years-Irc shall be content II
hts doom be sealed. But all our Natiuua action
concerning it must tend to nut it ont; it must
never be seen to gjor again. If we do not medH
to put it out we must inevitably lose much of the
benefit of it's extinction. 1t has brought us into
our present predicament -deporable enough, in
all cOnscicncc-a and we cannot return, except by
its entire demolition, If we have not viruous
courage enough for this, shall run into the most
unjust cXtravugunces, for they are the meat on
which Slavery feeds, We might rs well, too, rest

We are indebted to our fellw-citizen, Mr.. A.
3. Elicit, who arrived by the Excelsior, for a
Dubuque Herald Extra of the 18th, containing
the following important foreign news:
New YORK, April Is.
Inc Herman arrived at noon with dates from
London to the 29th. The Nashville arrived out
on the I'D; and the Andes at Liverpool on the
zStn. Political intelligence by the Herman is
OF the greatest Importance. The Cabinet cour-
iers dispatched with ultimatum of France and
England to the Emperor of Russia have return
ed to London with official announcement that
no reply would be made to Joint demands OF
Two powers; in consequence of this, both hou-
yes OF Parliament met on the 9th. A message
from the Queen was read announcing the fail
ure OF all negotiations carried on with Russia
ana consequent necessity of odopting, other
measures TO enforce English policy. The mes
aSe concluded with the declaration that the
queen relied on the bravery of her army and
navy, under the emergency. The message was
10 De taken into cOnsidcrationon the 3lst ult
and the reply Of the Houses of Parliament will
be acted on.
In the mean time an official declaration O
War appeared in the London Gazette On the
iSth, and in all London papers.
By the Herman, news is received that the
British feet under Sir Charles Napier had pass
ed the great Belt and anchored OFF Keel on the
18th OF March. The treaty between France
England and Turkey was sigued on the Goth
Dispatches from Vienna and Bucharest announ
ces that 10000 Russians had crossed the Danube
on the 2lst of March. $4,000 Russians had also
crossed at Mctchen without molestation from
the Turks; considerable force was assembling
between the Geshit and Mctchcn. A telegram
despatch from Belgrade states that on the 25th
OF March, GOrtschakoff wished:to depart from
the Island opposite to Turkaki The troops
already occupied the bridge, when thew were
Tired upon by the Turks. The bridge was de-
stroyed and 200 Russians precipitated into the
stream and drowned. The Turks suffered no
loss. NV
INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.-It is announced
IN the papers, that first class academy is about
TO be opened at Saltwater. A notice will also
oe found to-day in the Minnesotian, calling the
nrst meeting of the Trustees of Hamline IJni.
