The State Journal is very much dissat
sfed with the Placer Herald, and IS moi
in very pleasant humor with the Nichl
gan City Democracy. The Journal, nc
doubt, imagines the gentlemen who tooS
part in the proceedings of the meeting are
superior to digger Indians, hut from theil
location in the mountains are not likely tc
know much. But in this you deceive
yourself, Mr.. journal. The democrats
Of Michigan City are reading men; they
know that attempts are being made to
commit fraud upon them-hehce then
condemnation of the attempt, and the Sc
we're rebuke which they have administered
to you and those who are connected with
you in this diabolical scheme.
We have no doubt the Michigan City
democrats will continue to exercise their
own will Notwithstanding the begging ar
ticle Of the Journal They know their
rights and they do not intend to he de
prived of them without letting their fel
low-cit,zens know of their disapproval.
The opposition of Senators Walkup and
futile, to the Senatorial election, is tIl y
sustained by the Democracy of Michigan
City, and meets the emit, e appreciation OF
the Democracy Of the county-aye, of
the entire people of the county.
The PEOPLE OF PLACER will not sleep
upon this Senatorial question! The citi
zens of Michigan City have held a large
and enthusiastic meeting and given ex-
preston to their feelings in regard to it,
Petitions have heen forwarded from Yam
kee Jun, lllnoStown, Rattlesnake, Ore
gon Bar, Gold Hill, Auburn, Michigan
City, Spanish F at, MiIlertown, and other
places But ct us not rest here. Let the
people all over the county speak out
against this invasion of their rights. Git
izenS one and all, it is an encroachment
upon your privileges, and you should con
denn it. Already are hired men travelling
the State trying to make public opinion in
favor of this niqnitous scheme, which is
intended to distranchiSe you. Then let
the people show them that their labor is
useless. Let the masses meet and speak
out upon this question:; for those who are
in favor of this election won q rob you of
your rights. Circulate your petitions
freely against the election of United States
Senator this winter.

FROM W.4SHEyrG TON.
Special correspondents of tbt MIN @rsans Crescent


wAsHiSeror, Feb 9. 1854
In the Senate, this morning, several remon-
5strances were laid on the table, coming from
New York and Pennsy lyania, against the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise. Those from Penn
sylvania were chiefly from the Quakers or
Friends, who always testify much concern when
the subject of slavery is on the carpet; they
are all aholitionists, but not fanatics If we may
judge from the mildness of their language The
expected influx of petitions and remonstrances
upon this question does not arrive, and probably
will not; the people are weary Of the agitation
Of slavery, and henceforth politicians must tind
some new element wherewith to raise eommoton.
Mr.. Bright, of Indiana, moved for the PRINT
ing of 5000 additional copies of the report from
the War Department of the various PACING ~
r. explorations
Mr.. Foot, of Vermont, called up bill (com-
| monty known as Miss Dix's bill) for granting
10 900, 900 acres of public lands to the different
States for the benefit Of the indlgent insane, but
would not press for its passageif any one desired
| to speak upou it, .
| Mr.. Petit, of Indiana, proposed an amend
ment, restricting the grant to- those States
which had public lands within their borders.
As this would change the whole character of the
bill, Mr.. Foot moved its postponement to Mon
day week.
Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, then called up the
French Spoiiation bill.
Mr.. Dodge, of Iowa, a man of feeble intellect,
who seldom speaks without reminding one of the
rapid gobbling of o turkey, opposed the bill,
and in the few remarks which he sputtered forth
made several errors Of fact in regard to the past
history of the bill, which were promptly cor
rected by Messrs. Pratt. of Indiana, and Ham
lin, of Maine. Mr.. Petit then took the floor
and Showed, by a cursory statement OF the ORR
gin of these claims, that they were notso en-
tirely without foundation in justice as Mr.,
Dodge had represented; it was true, he admit
ted, that those to whom indemnity was properly
due had been swindled out of their rights, and
if justice ever were done in the matter it would
be to the heirs of the original claimants.
Mr., Petit is ungainly in person and quite re-
CARELESS Of women's rights, and withal not dis
posed to tolerate the custom of employing Chap
lains in Congress, but, his eecentricities apart,
he is q man of legal aeumen and ready wit
very much the superior of his colleague, Bright,
and perhaps ranking with the ablest Senators,
The bill was laid aside at the instance of Mr..
Douglas, who called up the Nebraska scheme,
which he seems to feel it his duty to urge
through the Senate with the least possible delay.
Mr.. Smith, of Connecticut, occupied the re-
mainder of the sitting, and brought an array
Of authorities against the reasoning Of the advo-
oates for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The House is yet engaged with the Deficiency
Appropriation bill.
Tits rumored that the Gadsden Treaty has
finally been sent to the Senate with large
margin of amendments recommended.
