OF Hon. JOnN A. BIssHAa, Of this State.
II is SAID 20 have produced a thrilling effect
upon the House. We can well CONCEIVE that
it would do this. The records OF Parlisment-
ary eloquence in this country furnish few
finer passages. Mr.. BINGHAM 10 speaking Of
the "bloody code" Of Kansas:
Ay, sir, Congress is to abide by this statute
which mukes it felony for a citisen TO utter
or publish In that Territory "Gaythtng cGlcuiat.
ed to induce slaves to escape from the servics
of their masters" Hence ii would be felony
there to utter the strong words Of Agernon
Sydne! --"Res!stsnce to tyrsnts is obedience
to GOd'; felony to cay with Jefferson, II
have sworn upon the altar of my God entern.
al hostility to tyranny 10 every form over the
mind aud body oil mani" felony % utter
there in The hearing Of slave, upon Amerl-
can soil. beneath the American Gag the
words Of flame which shook the stormy soul
Of Henry, Give me liberty,or give me death;
felony to read IN the heuring of one Of
those tettered bondmen the words OF the
Declarations "AIl men pre born free and
equal, and endowed by the Creator with the
inalienable rights of life ard liberty";
felony to utter those other words, blazing in
letters Of living light on the great written
charter Of our National Government, "We.
the people of the United States, in order to
establish Justice" the attribute of God, and
'to secure liberty" the imPerishable right OF
man, do "ordain this Constitution; a felony
to harbor or aid slave escaping from hs
thra dom; felony to aid freedom in its fight,
felony to shelter the houseless, to cIothe
the naked, to feed the hungry, and to hslp
him that is ready to perish; felony 20 give
to the lartiish,ng cup Of water in the name
OF our Master. Oh cir, before you hold this
enactment binding on an American Congress
tear down that banner of freedom which
floats above US, for stirring "reminiscences
linger in its folds, ard stars upon its field of
azure have CLEANED upon the field of "poised
Battle" where the earthquake and THE fire
led the charge, and where American virtue
anC American vaor maintained the unequal
conflict against the mighty power of British
tyranny and oppressiga. Before you hold
this enactment to be law, burn our immortal
Declaration and our free-wrtten Constitution
fetter our free press, and finally penetrate
the human soul, and put out the light Of that
understanding which the breath of that AL
mighty hath kindled.

"Thc Gray-Eyed Man"

INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF GIN. WALLER.
The New York Times, Of Monday, puS-
fishes letter from Nicaragua, from which We
extract as follows;
II was at first difficult for me 10 realize
that the little, insignificant looking individual
TO whom was introduced by our Minister,
Mr.. Wheeler, wss the General William
Walker whom had learned to regard as the
Prince Of Fillbusters. lie is rather below
the medium height, very spare in figure, but
with well developed chest and shoulders
straight yellow hair, very thin, and worn ex-
tremely short. HE complexion is light, or
what you would term sandy,an1 his fea lures
rather void Of expression. In the eve Of this
man, however, is embodied his Character
Large, and Of a light gray color, and project
Jog in surh a way as to appear pointed
From the moment his glsnce FIRST rests upon
you, you will feel shat he is cogn!zant Of
every weak point in your nature as yourself.
They are in fact, remarkable eyes, and we
are led to believe, look out from mind and
soul-as remarkable as themse Ives.
There is a strange tradition current among
the Indians of this country, which they say
mas Eeen 0dDOeu uOWn tO tueNl through PtH-
erations. II is 10 the effect that regenera-
tor was to con.e among then in the future; a
man who was to deliver them from tyranny
and oppression, and whom they were to re-
cognite by his large, gray eyes. This pro-
phetic legend is we II kpown to many Spanish
natives of Nicaragua, and it is reigiousIy
believed by them. And they believe, to1,
that the prophecy is fulfilled. The "Gray-
eyed Man. has come. He has come not as
an Attila or Guardioda; but as friend to
the oppressed and protector TO the helpless
unoffending. The prophecy in deemed by the
Indians as fulfilled: for last week | saw in
Graneda delegation of them, who visited
the city only to obtain an interview with Gen.
WALKER. They were charmed by his gentle
reception, and ofi'ered to him their heartfelt
thanks Cor their liberation from oppression
and for the present quiet state o. their couh-
try. They laid at his feet the simple offer
ings of their fruits and fields, and hailed him
as the "Gray-eyed Mar" SO long and anxious
ly waited for by their fathers. There is in
these facts tinge of romance almost too
charming to be real, but it is not to be denied
that Gen. WALLER has won more on the
hearts o, the natives by his justice and gener.
osi:y than by his sword. They know and
have seen, that ne only wars upon oppression,
treason and cruelty, and will prove the ready
defender of innocence and encoursger Of in.
duslry and virtue.

The Hiawatha Mania.

Professor LoNGFELLow hit on the richest
of all veins of gold when he wrote the
"Song of Hiawatha." The rarity of the
measure, the novelty Of the subject, the beau
ties of the poetry, the fearful difficulties Of
the Indian names, and the remarkable facility
of imitation set the whole nation talking a.
bout it. There was never any thing 30 easy
TO parody, and good parody is knowR to be
much more valuable to an author than good
puff. A poem that can stand the test Of re
dicule can safely risk the test Of sober critic
c.sm, and poem that can create controversy
is sure to have great sale. 1t is stated that
over thirty thousand copies of the "Song of
Hiawatha' have been sold already, and this
is quite up TO the sale of Uncle Toms Cabin
during like period of time. The profits of
such sale must console the author for all
that he has suffered from the pens Of paro-
dists anu critics. He can afford to be ac-
cused ,,of plagiarism whep, he counts his
pains by thousands Of dollass. ---..-
HiaSatha is the rage just now, and bids
fair to continue SO for some time to come
Poetcal mothers christen their chiltrea by
the un-christian names Of Hawatha and
Minnehaha; ship buii ders name their crafts
by the same eupho onious titles; and, last OF
all, adventurous ladies', not regarding the
rights ,of authorship, recte Hiawatha in
Indian costume with background of wig
vans and forest scenery, and crowds gather
to hear the strange and novel performance.-
This last is the poets crowning glory, and
Professor Lonsfellow ought to be forever
grateful to the Clara Darlings of the land
who have hit upon an idea which, while it
puts money in their pockets, does him an
honor never 5belore achieved by any other
poet. Trochaics bid fair to become our COM
mon language. Politicians stump orations,
flaming editorial leaders, sermons grave from
pious preachers, long advertisements of
tailors, puffs of patent pills and pdtions, all
are modelled from Longfeiow and are writ
ten in trochacs; snd tits not at all unlikely
that young and timid lovers, when they wish
to pop the question, will be asking in tro-
chaics, will you have mea will you wed me"
while the tender b!ushing damsels will re-
spond in accents gentle, and with modest
bushing faces, 81 will answer, will tell
you; will have you, will wed you. Phil.

To ExprL RATs.-The Farm Journal gives
the following account of how gentleman OF
Boston contrved to expel rats:
"Raising small board in the garret floor,
our friend opened communic alton between
the floor and the ceiling beneath, which in
terror communicated with the spaces between
the side walls and the laths and the plaster
over the whole house. Into this opening he
placed dish containing finely pulVetized
black oxyd of manganese, and poured over it
a suitable quantity of strong hydrochoric
(muriatic) asid The floor board was then
replaced, The effect of the chemical mix
ture of black oxyd Of manganese and hy-
drecLloric acid is to disengage in the cold
that most powerful, deodorizing, fumiga'lng
GAS, chlorine. In common with all gases, 1t
gradually difiuses itself through the air. but
having greater weight than atmospheric air
it accumuutes at the lowest levels. Inc
tendency of the gas liberated, therefore, was
TO penetrate every vacant space between the
walls and ceiling, and at last found exit IN
the cellar. 1t may be here stated that Inc
quantity of gas so liberated can exert no In
inrious effect upon the house or its inmates;
indeed, the result is rather beneficial that
otherwise upon the general health. The
chemical arrangements described had moi
been long in operation when 1t became evil
dent that something unusal was occurring u
ratdom. .All night long, it " ould seem,' salt
the narrator, 'as if Bedlam had broken loos'
between the partitions ,of my house TO
wards morning all had become quiet-'h
rats had vamosed, big and little, and for
period of nearly three months not one wa
heard or seen on the premises"
