Treason in the Senate
Correspondence Of the n. Y. Tribune.

!
Washington, Feb. 8.
The variety of characters in the Senate
is subject of study. Judge Evans, Of
South Carolina, a very sedate, and, l have
no doubt, very honest man, without sus-
piclon as to the righteousness Of slavehol-
ding, sits near Senator Wade, an equally
honest man, but most decided opponent OF
Slavery. Somebody sends very regularly
to Mr.. Evans copy of The Li6erator,
Garrison's paper, which he reads atten-
lively, but with the most profound and even
verdant establishment. Turning to his
friend from Ohio, he exclaims, "Isn't it
A6oninabie that such paper should be al
lowed in this country?" Why" says Sen
ator Wade chats considered in our State
as a most excellent family paper" 81 am
sorry to hear you say so, says the Judge,
evidently much surprised.
The temper of the times was illustrated
to-day. A Northern Senator, having read
the appeal in Tile Independent for subscrip-
tons to pay the fine of S. M. Booth, col
lected among his colleagues quite hand
some sum towards That object, which great
ly shocked the loyal feelings of Douglas,
Weller IL Co.
An incident no less illustrative and sig
nificant occurred not long since. A slave
applied to one of the Senators from Yves
tern State for contribution 10 purchase his
freedom. Why the devil don't you run a
way?" asked the Senator. adding, l can't
give money to buy slaves" The poor fell
low was turning away disappointed, and
the rest of the company, the Southern por-
ton especially, opened their eyes. Here,
said the Senator, calling the negro back,
"here'sten dollars; take that and run away.
but don't ask me for money to buy a
slave"
Here you see what reasonable charac-
tiers there are even in the Senate of the
United States. And what is more, they
seem TO be increasing. But as Senator
Wade said to Douglass, ''What are you
going to do about it?"
