talking about his not being dog? tCon-
tinued laughter.l What has that TO do with
| the Constitution, or the constitutional obliga-
tons of q State? Laughter. Well, sir, il
| was q beautiful sentiment no doubt, as he
thought, and perhaps he imagined he expressed
| il with Demosthenan abruptness and elo-
quence. Laughter. ! asked him whether
| he would execute the Constitution of the United
States without any fugitive slave law, and he
answered ma, is he dog.
Mr., SUMNER. The Senator asked me if
would help to reduce fellow-mau to bondage?
answered him.
Mr.. BUTLER. Then you would not obey
the Constitution. Sir, Turning to Mr.. SUM
NER, standing here before this tribunal, where
you swore to support it you rise and tell me
that you regard it the Office ola dog to enforce
il. You stand in my presence, as coequal
Senator, and tell me that it is dogs Office to
execute the Constitution of the United States
port.
SUCH OBLIGATIONS
We have not the space for extended COM
ment--nor indeed is extended comment neces-
sary. Mr.. Summers brief ans yer is sufficiently
suggestive, sufficiently revolving and sufficiently
abominable without the aid Of comment.
He recognises no such obligation as the Con-
stitution. He erecognises no such obligation as
solemn oath to support the Constitution.
This remark was not made in bar-room,
nor on the street, nor under private roof, nor
in an ordinary conversation. Nor was it made
by common citizen speaking the spontaneous
impulses of his heart. 1t was made in the
most august body in the world-the United
States Senate. 1t was made in the capitol of
the American republic 1t was made by sena-
tor-the representative Of great State, and
made after he had sworn solemn oath to sup
port the Constitution. m
What is the use of comment? /? The thing is
plain, palpable, glaring. If Massachusetts, re-
fuses to support the Constitution, she ought not
longer to remain in this Union. IF one of her
senator's refuses to support the same instru-
ment and repudiates the sanctions of his sena-
torial oath, he should no longer remain in
that body.
y In conclusion, we refer our readers to Mr..
Mason's speech, as an effort worthy of his repu-
tation as an American statesman, and of the
body Of which he is distinguished member.
In this connection we call attention to the re-
port in another. column, Of the debates and
explanations that took place in the Senate
yesterday, on the same subject.

ITEMS OF NEWS.

MADAM SoNTAG's DEATH.-The announcement
of the death of Madam Sontag, on the nth inst,
at the city Of Mexico, has caused great regret
among her numerous friends and admirers in this
city, as il will throughout the Union. She pro-
posed, on her return from Mexico, TO retire from
public life, and return England with an immense
fortune, which she had accumulated by five years
OF incessant labor.
She had been announced to give a grand con-
cert on the li,h, but owing to slight indisposl-
ton, it was postponed. The disease soon assumed
the character of cholera and she fingered in great
agony until the 1nh, when she expired. Her fu-
neral services were performed on the 10Th, in the
most solemn and impressive manner, and her re-
mains were placed in vault but it is understood
that they are to be taken home for final burial.
The New York Times thus speaks OF Madam
Sontag
at is our painful duty to record one OF those
melancholy occurrences, the announcement Oh
which too frequently devolves on the journalists.
Madame Sontag, Of whom il seems but yesterday
we were speakinp in terms of admiration and de-
light is dead--suddenly torn from us forever
treacherousy smitten by the fell destroyer IN Inc
midst Of active life and triumph
aThe profound sensation OF regret which thts
melancholy catastrophe must awaken, will not be
confined to those who have merely been delighted
with Madame Sontsg as an artist. wider circle
Of mourners will be found in all those who have
read the even,ful history of this estimsble lady's
fe and learnt from it TO appreciate the devoted
herosm of a wife and mother battling with tue
rouob world fpr competence and homo. Whilst
art has Lost one Of Der most brilliant luminaries

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, MIR, Petit made 3
personal explanation as to some interpretations
of remarks by Mr.. Sumner, in the report Of the
debate on Monday last. The bill to aid the
Territory of Minnesota in constructing rail
road therein, was taken up and passed. The
motion to refer the Boston petition for the re-
peal Of the fugitive slave law to the Committee
on the Judiciary, led to protracted and ex-
citing debate, in which Messrs. Dixon, Mallory,
Clay, Sumner, Petit, Butler, and others took
part. The memorial was then referred, and
the Senate adjourned. @
The House Of Representatives considered
and passed, by a vote of yeas lO3, nays rs,
the bill appropriating ten millions Of dollars to
carry into effect the Gadsden treaty.

of North Adams, by cloroform, DIR. c. E. Sreeter,
who operated in the case, makes the following
] statement:
"The amount Of chloroform inhaled was about
two-thirds the usual quantity, and the time OF IN
haling il much less than usual, the breathing
easy, and the pulse regular, with no unpleasant
sensations except the prckling oi the hands,
which is no uncommon thing. As soon as IN
sensibiliiy was produced, commenced the ope-
ration. / extracted four teeth and was about 10

not be felt, the face became deadly pale, the eyes
vacant, the lips livid Instant dissolution seemed
inevitable. The face was wetted, fresh air adj
mitted by raising the windows; artificial resplra-
tion was Immediately commenced, when she gave
two or three short respirations; then TO all APP
pcarance life was extinct, without a struggle or
motion of any part of the body and all within two
or three minutes from the first symptoms OF alarm.
Still artificial respiration was continued. The
ply ysicians were called in, but all TO effect. DIR.
rabbit, the first one in, had hesitation in pro.
nouncing her dead at first sight, and no power on
earth could raise her, in about i've minutes after
the alarming symptoms came Still, for the grati-
ication Of the friends and the people present,
battery and other means were resorted 10, but
without any possible hope raising her. Signs of
death were too apparent TO be mistaken"

its constitutional rights. Like the military big.
OTIS and maniacs of the times of Cromwell, they
are attended by a set of bowling preachers, who
are ready either to utter sermon, prayer, a
blasphemy, or a political lecture, as may fit
occasions.
How is it on the other hand with the great
democracy Of the country Are they preparing
for the contest in the twenty-five States in
which elections are to be held Do they realize
the importance of sustaining the great measure
that has restored the constitution and given
equality to all the States, and of sustaining
and re-electing the honest and the patriotic
men by whose arduous efforts that measure
became law of the land? They should rally
their forces in every State, and contest every
inch Of ground with their adversaries.
II, by any chance, the enemies Of the demo-
cratic party, by whatever name those enemies
may ecalled or known, houldachievea triumph
inthe State elections that areapproaching, it can
only be at best a temporary success. The ma
terials of which they are composed are so vari-
ant and antagonistic, that they cannot long
hold together. They have no common cement.
They have no fixed and permanent principles.
1t is an alliance of hatred against the demo-
cratic party, rather than Of ofcommonsympathies,
principles, and convictions among themselves.
But the democracy should not permit this
alliance to achieve even a temporary success

contest determined to conquer. 1t would indeed
be sad spectacle to look upon Congress com
posed of such men as we have described. The
administration came into power with almost an
untold popular majority. The democratic party
has great majority in the two houses of Con-
gress. 1t yet has all of its ablest and most
patriotic leaders, Nothing but supineness or
recreancy can bring about its defeat, and such
supineness would be as deplorable as such
recreancy would be vile. The democratic
party ought everywhere to determine to stand
by the patriots in the two houses of Congress
who have stood by the Constitution, and from
this day forward, earnest and untiring exertions
should be made to carry the elections that are
to come off. isb
