Congressional.

Senators Weller, os California, and Bad
ger of North Carolina, have spoken in favor
Of the Nebraska and Kansas bills, and SEN
ators Smith of Connecticut and Seward, Of
New York against them. Senator Petit, of
Indiana had the floor for Monday.
The French Spoliation bill passed the Sc
nate on the 18th 81 to 10.
The Homestead bill is before the House
of Representatives.
On the 18th, Mr. Boyce advocated mol
LITIGATION of the Tariff, in view Of the sur.
plus in the treasury. The policy he re.
commended was to confine the tariff to the
revenue standard, and graduate to the low.
est points sufficient for the expenses o.
government, taxing every commodity, but
making the tariff on luxuries higher thar
other articles. To prevent a surplus, he
would authorize the reduction Of duties t.
regular uniform rate, until the revenue
should only meet the necessary wants Of
government.
The Gadsden Treaty was laid before thu
Senate on the 10th, having been thoroughly
revised and amended by the Cabinet.

MERCHANTS WHO BUY FOR CASH
FEubbeEH g. Hunt. of st. Louis,

INVITE all those Merchants who buy any de-
L scription of Dry Goods for Cash, to call and
examine their stock, and compare the prices with
credit houses.
Cur retail sales being four times as large as any
other house in St. Louis, we are necessarily
obliged 10 keep at all times full assortment Of
the most choice styles, as well as every descrip-
ton of Staple Dry Goods. And merchants can
al all times find many goods adapted 10 their trade
that can be found at no other Dry Goods house
Our extensive retail trade enables us to learn the
wants of the people. Cur Senior partner resides
i'll New York. He is in daily attendance on the
largest auction sales, and we are daily receiving
new Goods, many of which we are able to sell
Far Below their Actual Value.
Our unlimited resources enable us 10 take every
advantage Of the fluctuations in the market, and
10 make many advantageous purchases.
As we lose no money by bad debts we pledge
ourselves TO sell any description Of Goods as low,
and many styles lower than any other wholesale
house in ST. Louis.
We invite merchants 10 call and examine for
themselves, or to send their orders.

The Little Giant.

Senator Douglas is appropriately called
the little giant. He is small in stature, and
small in brain. He won't do to set up for
a statesman, because he don't know his
own mind. Had Clay or Webster, jackson
or Calhoun, been charged with settling our
present territorial difficulties, they would
have studied the subject-thoroughly turned
it over, and when they presented bill they
would have been prepared to defend it, and
answer all objections. Not so with Doug
las. His vascillating course and want of
firmness is well taken off by the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Cou-
rier, as follows:
Nobody knows what shape the Nebraska
bill will yet assume. 1t has been altered in
phrasedlogy or substance five times since
first introduced. In its primeval state it
left the question of slavery to the courts,
with covert permission to decide the re-
striction invalid. In its next form brace
Of sections were added, said to have been
omitted through the error of a clerk. The
added sections were very important, and the
omission of the clerk was very remarkable.
Bill No. 3, provided for two territories
and declared the Missouri Compromise Gin
operative"
No. superseded" the Compromise by
the principles of a later Compromise.
No. 5 "superseded'' Nos. /, 2, 3 and 4,
and declared the Missouri compact incon-
sistent with the principles of 1850, and void;
but furthermore, to conciliate impracticable
supporters Of the administration, announced
that the bill was not to establish slavery in
Nebraska or Kansas.
Now, as Mr.. Douglas will have n week
or two longer to cogitate upon his scheme,
who can safely predict that within that time
he will not introduce as many more mod-
fications, extending or contracting the scope
of his bill? Who knows but that he may
fall back from the "principles" of 1850,
to those of '98 or '99, or to '76 and rs, and
repeating one compact by vague and unde-
fined p, incip'es on which hardly two men
agree, repeal the Constitution and the Union,
the National Debt, and The whole system Of
government and policy built up since the
first confederation

County "True Democratic" Resolutions, Of
The First Monday of February, 1854.
Who in the world do you think, Mr.. Ed
tor, wrote this? 1t must have been some
federal renegade Wing, with the shell of
whiggery still sticking to him. Where was
Lowry, ard the other great lights of the
party? Alas, for the Democracy Of Old
Howard, it has fallen upon evil days; the
old leaders all gone--some dead; some re-
tired in disgust into neighboring counties;
the rest showed aside to give place to new
converts, eager to get into Congress, and
other high places, not for their own glory,
but to illustrate, in their persons, the glo.
res of democracy.
The anties-the Statcs-right democrats
the men who pride themselves on their
knowledge, that Congress cannot prohibit
slavery in any Federal Territory, and that
tell us how, under the Federal Constitution
we can take our negroes, and 60 where we
please, and that there is no power in Con-
gress TO stop us--these are the men, who
now, in open public convention 'hail with
appreciation Senator Douglas Nebraska
bill, which he himself informs us, is foun-
ded on the principle, that the Territorial
government shall have power TO keep slave
holders out, or let them in, according 10 its
own pleasure. Congress, indeed, these
wise-ocres have always told us, can do no
such thing; the whole United States, in
Congress assembled, cannot prevent the
poorest slave holder among us from going
into Nebraska; but Congress can create a
petty corporation there, a Territorial Gov
eminent, and confer on it power to keep
every slave holder in the Union Quill
Alas, alas! the old leaders were bad enough,
but they had more sense than these new
men: they never would have made asses
Of themselves by declaring that the Congress
Of the United States could authorize Ter
ritorial Government to do. in this matter,
what they assured lis Congress could not
do by any direct legislation. There YVES
not a man in the meeting, who had sense
enough to find his way back home, who did
not know. and feel, that if Congress could
not keep him and his slave out of Nebraska
it could not create Territorial Govern
mcnt there with any such power, and in this
manner do indirectly, what it had no pow.
D., er to do directly. The writer himself il
he wrote his own name, knew better-ant
being fresh from the wing party, he mus
have been amusing himself at the expense
of what, he considered the simple-mindet
, democracy, by trying to fathom the depths
Of its gullibility. ANrI-BuNcoMpr.
