THE LAST NIGHT OF CoSGREss.-The spoils
Congress, with which Gen. Pierce came into
power, Is ended. It has fallen through with the
administration Of which It made itself plant
appendage. Last night was the last night Of its
last session. Its existence was spasmodic and Il
has died violent death. II will meet no more.
The people have decreed a new dispenation-
and new Congress will succeed, a new policy,
and such q shaking up Of the dry bones of the
old parties as will grind them to powder.

lHE hNOW I~OIHlNSS IN CANADA.-We
elsewhere couple of letters from Canada
which reveal a state Of things in that province
that was hardly anticipated short while since.
For the last five or six years the Irish and
priest party has been riding pretty roughshod
over the heads Of the Protest,nts in Lower
Canada; and the attempts at resistance have
been of the most feeble character. At last, il
seems, the progress Of the Know Nothings in
this country has reused the Canadians to ac-
tion and Know Nothing lodges have been or
ganized in many parts Of the country. From
the scaIdalous scenes which have recently ia
ken place at Quebec aud Montreal, amounting
in fact to the establishment OF a hier archical
government on a basis of shilelahs and paving
stones, il would appear that something OF the
kid was indispensable to the salvation of the
province. One Of our correspondents seems to
think that desire Tor Independence is likely to
lie the ulterior object Of the Canadian Know
Notbings. This may possibly prove to be the
case hereafter; it i impossible to say what
changes few years may not bring forth; bnt
at present Judging from The tone of the Cana
dian Legislature and the press, no such ten
densy exists among any considerable class of
s5siey.

The MURDERER MCCREA-The Kansas
Herald, of May 18th, has an interesting arti
Gle on the assassination of Malcolm Clark,
by McCrea, which has caused so much ex-
citement in the territory. 1t declares that
McCrea, from first to last was the aggressor.
1t says that he interrupted the meeting at
Fort Leavenworth on the day of the murder,
and grossly insulted the pro-slavery speak
ers that he pronounced the resolutions OF
the meeting "a ID fraud" that he CONT
nued his violent conduct after he was rep
rimanded, and persisted in a quarrel with
Clarke, whom he afterwards murdered. In
regard to an assertion of an abolition paper,
that McCrea shot Clarke in self defence, the
Herald replies:
The man who says McCrea strictly shot In de-
fence is an arrant liar. He shot Malcolm Clark
because he was PRo-sLAvRRF MAN and only
originated the quarrel as pretext of accomplish
ing the object which had brought him to the meet
ing of NUMBERING CLARK. Il iB useless for the
Tribune to say that McCrea shot strictly In self
defence. He Is a MURDERER, a cowardly AssAs-
SIN so say three hundred citizens who witnessed
the preparation of the infamous deed In the glar-
ing light Of day; says public report; so cries
the voice of Malcolm Clark calling upon his rels.

This is the man whose cause the free soil
