Facts are stubborn Things.

In a government like our own, light will
shine forth in spite Of every effort to keep it
hid, and
"Trulh crushed 10 earth will rise again,
The eternal years Of God are hers
But error wounded wrthes in pain
And dies admidst her worshippers."
The great discussion in our congressional
halls has closed, probably the most important
question that ever did or ever will come before
Congress, the Nebraska bill" In examining
these celebrated discussions, we see nany facts
stated, the truth of which is demonstrated with
the same analytical reasoning as proposition
of Legendre. We are not intending TO enter
into discussion of this question; far from it.
But we propose, in as few words as possible, TO
give some Of the arguments offered by Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, to deny the charge
made by Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts,,
that "slavery is curse, demoralizing to the
people among whom it exists"
The population of Massachusetts ISL. 993,499
The population of Tennessee s........ l,092,625
4t@
Excess of population in Tennessee 80. 99,126
sets, is .................... $50
The number Of pauaers in Teanesseeis 5S1
Excess of paunerism in Massachusetts. 4,96s
Massachusetts, with less number Of inhabi-
tants, has over eight times the number of pau
pers.
The insane of Massachusetts are.......... 1,647
The insane of Tennessee are. ............ ATS
Excess of insanity in Massachusetts. $3.50. ,l69
Massachusetts has 1,430 churches-one for
every 695 Inhabitants.
Tennessee has 1859 churches-one for every
SIT inhabitants.
Kentucky has nearly three times the inhabitants
Of Connecticut, anil pauperism in Connecticut
is........ ....................'.. Liza
Pauperism in Kentucky is. III
Thus we see that Kentucky, with three times
the inhabitants, has less than half the number
Of paupers.
Connecticut has one insane TO every 502 inhabi-
tants.
Kentucky has one insane to every 1887 inhabi-
Connecticut has 719 churches41 to every $40 in
habitants.
Kentucky has LOIS churchesI to every $40 in
habitants, including her slavd!
Massachusetts and Connecticut together make
annually 4037, 600 gallons of ardent spirits.
Kentucky and Tennessee, 2,1fs ,945 gallons.
Thus Massachusetts and Connecticut, with
about two-thirds the population of Tennessee
nd Kentucky, have got morethan four times
the pauperism, three times thelinsanity, and a
less number Of churches for moral instruction,
and make l,8e6,255 gallons more of liquid
poison for the ruin Of their people, and still
here are some who speak of tie demoralizing
effect of slarery. Facts are stubborn things.

New Public BuIIdings.--The bill which re-
Gently passed the Senate, yet 10 be acted on by
the House Of Representatives, authorizing the
extention and completion Of tho Treasury build.
,ae and also for the construction OF a building for
the War. Navy, and Interior Departments, will
reouire an outlay OF So 600 000 sG000 900 of which
sum /. appropriated as the amount which can be
used sGvanisgeously during the current fiscal
year.
BY the proposed plan the present Treasury
building will become quadrangular. The additions
will cover space Of flooring Of one hundred and
two thousand two hundred feet, while the present
one occupies only forty-four thousand five hundred
and sixty feet. The number Of rooms will be two
hundred and two additional 10 the one hundred
and 6fty.two in the presen, building. The cost Of
the present building was s65OOoO the cost Of
the addition will be 81 ,25oooo Tho same order
Of architecture will be observed in the cons,ruc-
tion Of the building, as that on which il was origi-
nallv constructed The effect will be as regards
the enlargement, TO give ample accommodation
both TO the State and Treasury Departments, and
then Il will afford security for the preservation OF
The public records and archives.
The other building contemplated, in lieu Of the
War and Navy Departments, is likewise essen.
,a, and will, in its construction, give room for the
Department Of the Interior, which is now obliged
20 locate in temporary buildings
In the course Of debate il was said that il is a
disgrace TO the country that the public records
should be kept in insecurity, 90 they are in the
present buildings, with the exception, perhaps, of
the Treasurv Deport uenfn In the State Denarf
ment the records or the country are represented
