WASHINGTON, Thursday, Feb. a. 1850.
The supporters of Freedom in Kansas IN the

both sides fairly presented. Now the Free-Stste
aide will not be at all before the Committee OF
the Whole. The House is quite thln-some
sixty members having gone bone, mostly paired
off; but we have lost by the absence oil Mr.
Albright of Ohio, who is sick, aud Mr.. Clark
of Connecticut Messrs. Bishop, Millward and
Moore did not vote. Bayard Clarke, John
Wheeler aud Mr. Whitney were either absent or
silent. Messrs BroOme, Haven, Walk and John
Williams voted against US. Messrs. Dunn, Harri
son, Hickman and Scott voted the Free-State side
Mr.. Millward was present, and voted the same
way on subsequent division. So, think, did Mr..
Bishop. But our friends were again beaten by
three majority, when they gave up, disheartened,
and the House adjourned over to Monday.

The Supreme Court has heard, but not decided,
a most important case, involving the validity I'm

of Shareholders who have taken their slaves into
Free State or Territory to hold them, and their
children born there in bondage, after returning to
a Slave State gentleman who heard the argu-

Nance. These ambitious gentry, If they wish 70
be useful can find Other and better Occupation
than in pretending TO guard the health Of this
community. for which they are utterly unqualified
except in the estimate Of grogshop nomin ,tion'.
We are well pleased, therefore, to perceive 'ha'

Last Winter the Legislature OF Massachusetts
passed resolve expressive of the readiness OF that
State to aid the people of Kansas, with her whole
power, if necessary in support of their rights, by
whomsoeyer infringed. The time seems now to
have come in which Massachusetts, ought to do
something to redeem this deliberate pledge Gov
Gardner has doubtless received, in common with
the Governors of Ohio, New-York Rhode Island,
and other States the appeal from the officers elect
under the new State Constitution of Kansas. As
soon as be satisfies himself what can be cOnstitu-
tionally done, he will doubtless lay the matter be-
fore the Legislature.

We publish this morning the bill of which Mr..
Sickles gave notice last week for the regulation
and government of the Central Park. 1t was intro
duced in the Senate yesterday We have looked
over its provisions, and consider them in the main
judicous 1t proposes to vest the entire control OF
the Park in a Board of five Commissioners, TO be
named BY the Mayor and confirmed by the Alder
men. and to hold Office for FIVE years; Of which
Board the Mayor shall also be, ex Ofhcio, NELL
Der. The Commissioners are to serve without
compensation; and they are restrained in their ex-
pcnditures in such manner that the annual interest
Of the cost of the improvement, Of the Park can
never exceed 100000. 1t is highly important
that the management Of the Park SHOULD as far "a
possible, be Withdrawn from the arena OF politics.
This the bin now proposed, drawn, as We are told,
by Mr. Dillon, is intended TO effect
In the hands of proper men the Park will, in q
few years, become the pride and ornament Of the
CITY; and the whole yearly cost of it under this
bill including the price of the land taken, can never
exceed $3.50, 900 as maximum. At this rate, il

THE TRACT CAUSE.

Messrs. Editors :-Afew itemsin connec.
ton with the Tract'interests of the Church,
may not be unintercsting to your readers
The Agent employed by the South Carolina
Conference for the year ending, makes the
following report: Raised for the Tract
Society by the Agent, little over $4,000
distributed 100000 pages Tracts; furnished
colporteurs $4,000 worth of books; donated
to Tract Societies and individuals, over ST.
900 worth of books and Tracts.
The Tract enterprise is yet in its infancy,
the society in connection with the South
Carolina Conference having been formed but
two years ago; yet its success has been mark
ed, and the good it is accomplishing is in
calculablc. And should not the Church and
the friends of Christianity be deeply inter
estcd in it? As Insignificant as little Tract
may appear in the eyes Of some, how often
have these, unpretending messengers sent
forth in the name Of the Lord, proved the
means of converting souls? Many of them,
originally sermons delivered by able and clo-
quent Divines, are published in this conve-
nient form for general reading.
The anniversary of the Tract Society was
celebrated on Monday night at the College
chapel, when the report of the Board of
managers, containing the above items, was
read by Rev. DR.. Smith, and addresses ap-
propriatc to the occasion were made by DR..
Summers and DR.. Smith. The attendance
was large, and $500 were contributed for the
promotion of the good cause.
