Affairs Mt Washington

No positive progress Is apparent at Wash
ington, in anything. Things is workin',"
we suppose and in due time the nation will
know what the work will amount to. They
keep up the debates on the slavery subject
under various aspects and diversity now and
then by calling the yeas and nays or voting
on a resolution.
The admission Of Whitfield to be sworn is
not to end his case apparently. The memo
rails against him from Kansas-alleGing that
he was chosen without any law whatever,
and contrary to the wishes Of a great MAORI
ty of the people, will bring the whole question
up again, under the form of contested or
disputed election.
The vote last Monday on the resolution
against rc-opcring the slave trade, shows that
nll tho southerncrs arc not ready to follow
| the lead Of Gov. Adams of S C., and the fire
eaters. Virginia keeps negroes to sell, and
does not believe in free trade where it is like
~ to lessen her own profits. Besides, the
| subject is IN ugly ono to discuss before the
nation 1t might have bad effect on many
who were gulled with the cry, Buck
Brock and frccsoil," and there are too many
| Republicans in the nation, to be despiscd
Tho Democratic party has already got quite
as much slavery extension on its shoulders a:
it can SAFELY travel with.
Ethoridse's resolution was bitter pill
for the strong pro-slavery men to take; but
under the circumstances they thought the
best way was to shut their eyes, open their
mouths and down with IT,
