CONGREss.

In the Senate, yesterday, after the passage Of
private bill, the Senate took up the bill to
give credit for limited period on duties
upon railroad iron imported into the United
States. To this Mr.. Douglas moved an amend
ment, in the nature of substitute, suspending
for four years from the lst of July, 1853, to
the lst of July, 1857, all laws imposing duty
on railroad iron; the duties paid on railroad
iron since lst Of July, 1853, and before the
passage of this act, to be refunded. The bill
as amended was debated by Messrs Badger,
Douglas, Seward, Bell, Pratt, Hunter, Stuart,
and Bayard, and then postponed till next Mon
day week.
In the House of Representatives, resolu-
ton was adopted, on motion Of Mr.. Heister,
calling on the Secretary of the Interior to fur
nish the House with information concerning
frauds on the Pension Office. The further con-
sideration of Mr.. Benefits land ELL was post
poned for two weeks. The House went into
Committee of the Whole on the state Of the
Union, when Mr.. Cullom delivered his views
in opposition to the Nebraska Kansas bill.

upon those principles of justice which will give
us permanent tranquility, and that it may take
such measures as will secure the construction
of that great work. which, if completed, will
add another powerful bond for securing the
perpetuity of our Union. If it shall be the
fortune of this Congress to accomplish both,
it will earn the thanks Of the country, and the
honest gratitude of wise and patriotic men. It
is, therefore, sir, in fraternal spirit of friend
ship that invoke the cooperation of northern
representatives in the settlement of this ques-
ton, upon principles of equality, without sec
tional views or sectional distinctions, and con-
sistently with the spirit of our institutions; for
if our legislation is governed by opposite mo-
tives, all hope of durable repose is vain.
l. had intended to offer some remarks relative
to other questions involved in these bills, but
the limit must necessarily put upon myself
will preclude me from touching them at this
time. The history of the Missouri restriction
has been deliberately and ably discussed in this
House, and in the Senate; and this constitutes
an additional reason against any allusion to it
by myself 1t is said, too, that, since the mo-
ton of the gentleman from New York Mr.
CUTTING prevailed, to refer the Senate bill to
the Committee of the Whole, the bills are ire
trievably lost. If that gentleman and his
friends pursue the course indicated by him
when he made the motion, we will yet reach
and pass the bill. l ask him to stand fairly
and manfully to his position, and feel conf
dent it will pass, unless it is killed by indirec
ton.
The gentleman from New York is not in his
place, or / would make these remarks more
definite and pertinent to the position he occu-
pies. ! would invoke him, by every considera-
ton of honor to redeem his pledge and assist
in reaching the bill. Its advocates do not de-
precate or shun its discussion. They will
neither avoid it here nor elsewhere, confident
that if it be heard in debate here, or before
the tribunal of the people, that they will never
approve the unjust and unequal restrictions Of
1920 on their rights, and that in their judg-
ment, no lapse Of time will consecrate wrong.

THE HARDsHIPs OF FRONTIER SER
VICE AND OF EXPLORATIONS.

The hardships, dangers, and privations to
which our officers are subjected in making ex-
plorations and in frontier service have recently
been exhibited in frightful forms. Scarcely
had the unwelcome tidings of the inhuman, un.
accountable, and mysterious massacre of Cap.
tain Gunnison and the party under his com.
mand grown cold, before the most alarming
accounts reached us in relation to Lieutenant
Strain and his party, who we're engaged in tho
Darien surveying expedition. Not having ar
rived at their place Of destination at the expect
ed time, and no tidings having been received Of
them, it was at first supposed that they had
fallen victims to the wild and merciless savages
inhabiting that country through which they had
to pass. Next came the news that they had
been devoured by wild beasts Just when the
safety Of that accomplished officer and his com.
mand was dcspaired d, the gratifying news
arrived that he and several his men, after en-.
during almost unparalleled hardships and suf.

to this matter it will infict no injury on us,
while it will be regarded by our countrymen as
in conformity with that generous spirit of legis,
lation which should ever characterize an Amer.
lean Congress.
| The two chief subjects engrossing the atten.
tion of this Congress are the settlement of the
territorial question relative to the remainder oi
the Louisiana Territory, preparing the way for
embryo States 10 be usbered into the national
family, and the construction Of a railroad from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, destined to
reverse the oriental commerce of the world II
is fact WORTHY of remembrance, that letter
from Mr.. Jefferson to Merriwether Lewis, Civ.
ing him information Of the cession by France
of Louisiana in 1903, contains the first sugges.
ton with which i am acquainted of the posi-
BILE revolution which might occur in the COM
merce of Asia and Europe. In it he informs
him that he had received letter from NJ Lace.
pede, at Paris, to whom he had written about
Lewiss intended expedition across the Rocky
mountains. In this answer of M. Lacepede, it
is stated that Broughton, one of the compan-
ions OF Vancouver, had but recently ascended
the Columbia river considerable distance, and
found it deep and navigable and that it was
probable the sources of the Missouri and Coum-
bia were near each other. He then suggests the
practicability Of a river and canal communica-
tion between New York and the mouth Of the
Columbia river, as a route for the commerce Of
Asia, Europe, and America.
just half century has elapsed since we
purchased Louisiana, and we are now about to
determine, hope forever, the great territorial
question to which il gave rise; and it is a sin
guiar coincidence that the same Congress may
probably take the first step towards the fulfill
nent OF the comprehensive commercial idea
OF LacePede in securing the commencement
OF RAPID means Of intercourse between the
atlantic and Pacific oceans. trust that this
congress may settle the territorial question
