A Name for the I'ro-SIayery PARTY.

The N. Y. Evening Post, feeling it to be
misuse of language to call the supporters of
Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency the Demo-
cratic party, since they have abandoned the
great distinctive principles of Democracy ::
that to designate them as the Federal party
would be offensive as well as unjust to large
| class of respectable men who differ from
them entirely on the slavery question. and
that the term Doughfaccs is not sufficiently
comprehensive, gives proper christening to
the party in what follows:
But we cannot undertake to conduct
Presidential canvass against party without
name, and we have felt that the first thing
to be done by the Republicans in the an,
preaching struggle was to fix upon some
striking, characteristic and suggestive title
oy which to salute their adversaries, and at
last we think we have found one which will
meet the exigency precisely. We would
designate them as the Buccaneers. This name.

over every other, of identifying the party
with the name of its leader; in the next
place it indirectly gives suitable prominence

den.
A resolution was adopted directing the

i'll case of death of both President ard Vice
President, in case they deemed further legis-
iation on the subject necessary to report a

The rules were amended so as to make it
the duty of the presiding officer to call Sena-

mentary decorum.

the frontier of California, and for the estab-
lishment of Military posts, and the sinking
of wells. Adjourned.
HOUSE Mr.. Ravens said he was against
the bill, unless it be essentially modified
He thought action thereon now would be
premature. The House should first have the
report of the Select Committee OH Kansas
affairs, in order to determine the source of
the present disorders in that Territory. He
would favor no extreme measures. He
wanted to meet the question on broad basis
of fact, governing his conduct without refer
ence to either North or South.
Mr.. Geycr gave notice that he WILL on
Saturday, move the previous question on the
| bill.
Mr.. Morrill,, from the Committee on Ter
ritories, reported bill to punish and pre-
vent the practice of polygamy in the Terri
teries Of the United States, providing a
penalty Of five hundred dollars and imprisOn-
ment for not less than two or more than five
years. Mr.. M. said there was but one dis
senting vote in the Committee, and the only
difficulty was as to the power to legislate on
the subject. Referred to Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union
The remainder of the session was devoted
to the consideration of Territorial business.
WASHINGTON, June 81.
The Senate considered and passed the

out giving up &heir arms. After considera-
bic conversation between the Committee and
leaders Of the Company it was agreed arms

The Beautiful Character of that sc Aged
Relative,

The Washington correspondent Of tie
Boston Telegraph, in recent letter. says
L see that some of the Boston papers
speak of Mr.. Butler as a kind hearted, frank
learned, courteous gentleman of the old
school. OF that | leave the country to
judge. l saw this gentleman at the theatre
last week., in lnaudEn state of intoxica-
ton. Hackctt was playing Falstaf in the
Merry Wives of Windsor. Butler was in
the parquctte, liz fs.i view Ct the whole
house, and acted 50 badly that it required
the whole attention of Senator Hunter, OF
Virginia, who sat on one side of him, and
another person on the other side whom
did not know, to kcephim from disturbing
the audience. sat so near him part OF
the time that l could lear his drunken re-
marks and the expostulations of his com
rades. This much for the gentleman of the
old school.

HoopED PETTIcoATs VS.. DoG'.-C"c day
last week, says the Montgomery Advertiser
a lady was attacked in one of the streets OF
our city by three dogs, and violently thrown
to the ground. In their ferocious attemptto
bite her, her dress was literally torn from her
person, but the hoped petticoat proved a
Sebastopol to the canine assassins so cffec-
tually shielding her precious flesh that she
escaped with but few slight scratches on
her neck, and some slight bruises on the
face, occasioned by the fall. There is virtue
in whalebonc. Why is it that the dog lawi is
not enforced?

LIBEL ON THE PENITENTIARY.-The arti-
Gle we copied from the St. Croix Union of
Saturday last, speaking of "stampede :"
from the Territorial Penitentiary, proves to
be falsehood manufactured out of whole
cloth. We were in Saltwater on Monday,
(of which visit thereto we will speak at
length soon) and the prevailing impression
was that neiehbor Abbott was dreaming of
the Deluge when he wrote that "stampede %
article-else he did it out of pure spite and
cussedness" towards Mr.. Delano, the
Warden. The prison is now well guarded
and perfectly secure; and we hope only that
the Union editor will in future not endanger
his personal liberty by trying SO hard to get
locked up inside Of it as he did in this in
stance. .,--.. -, a

Delano the propriety of giving him quarters
