six inches long exactly like an enormous

night across your chamber floor with

striking every claw up to the body in
your foot; that poison flows through
each claw, and in two minutes you will
have tainted in agony in few more you

be turned away. 1t has to be cut off, and

THE APPEARANCE OF THE SULTAN.

We make the following extract from a
letter written from Constantinople by an
officer on board the United States steam
er Saranac, to relative in this city.
On the 9th Of February, Mr.. Spence had
his first audience with the Sultan, Capis Long
and Turner, and number of officers, of which
was one, from the two ships, aocOmpanied
him
The palace where the reception took place,
was near a mile from the ship, on the shore of
the Bosphorus, aad the day a very rainy one
We were IN full uniform, of course, but BY
means of closks and umbrellas, we managed
to get there without much Of ducking On
arrival, We were shown into an ante ROOM and
pipes and coffee brought TO US to pass the time
until his Highness was ready. The mouth
pieces OF the pipes, and the saucers, or holders
of the cups, were richly set with diamonds
This was, by far, the most agreeable part of
the affair; for. after waiting about quarter of
al hour, the Minister of Foreign Affairs made
his appearance, and escorted us through The
rain, (and all the umbrellas had been pu,
aside to another part OF the palace, where we
assembled grand, and quite handsome stair

Sultan, the Grand Turk. And very little like

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS,


The Intslligeneer contrasts what the
Detroit Free Press and the Natchez Free
Trader say Of the Nebraska bill, by way
of showing how widely its Northern and
Southern friends respectively approach
the people in its favor.
The Union condemns IN toto the course
of the minority in the House on the Ne
braska bill, saying:
We admire the spirit which impels q mi
norlty to resist measure to which thew are
irreconcilably opposed, by persistent efforts of
reason and argument. We are 80 strong an
advocate for the largest liberty of discussion
that We can readily excuse minority fer re.
sorting to parliamentary expedients In order
to Proiong debate. But when the privilege OF
discussion is conceded and vet is rejected by
the minority because the concession ia no,
1iiimitabie, there can be no other conclusion
than that resort to physical force is DELHI
erately resolved upon. Such will be the view
necessarily taken of the course Of the opposi
tion to the Nebraska bill When Colonel Rich.
9rdsou proposed to terminate the debate, til err
n been more than eighty speeches made on
as question"
The Union alse speaks of the President
as-being the head and front of the Ne
eraska bill policy, and presents him say.
ing, in the language Of Laroche Jaquelain,
on going into battle, If / Advance, fol-
io,c me; if 1 draw back, kill me; if L fau
arenge me-" In the course of the same
article the Union showers oceans of com.
pliments upon the majority of the House
who have just come out of so severe q
struggle.
The Sentinel condemns the conduct O.
the minority in the House, and replies to
the late argument of the Intelligeneey on
the Veto Message.

u The Tribune has a black mark
around the names Of the members of Con.
gress from the free States who voted to
take up the Nebraska bill, which it terms
The Roll Of Infamy." 1t is strange
how people differ. We think that the
names of these gentlemen should be re-
corded in letters ofliving light, for their
glorious act in Drawing the abuse of such
white-livered traitors as he of the Tribune,
IN the performance of what they con-
ceived to be their duty. Men who teach
such doctrines.a as have been promulgated
during the past few days by the abolition
press, deserve to be punished as con.
temners Of the law, and strung ND rs
