THE POST.
ATHENS, FnIpAY, July 1855,

~ The present Congress, thus far, has
not gathered many laurels. 1t has resembled
a primary assembly, where there is hard
scrambliEg for a petty office, rather than
dignfied Legislature looking to the honor and
welfare Of its constituencies. We are not
aware Of any real good TO the country which
has been derived from the present session
but much that is evil. The conduct of the
members of the House and of the Senate,
with some honorable exceptions, has been so
boisterous, reckless and rude, that the peo.
pie Mt large, seeing here is no shame left in
the minds of their representatives, are actu
nlly beginning to inquire whether we could
not do without any Congress whatever, or, at
least, whether if they assemble but once in
seven years and were to be called together
only on imminent occasions, the country
would not be better off, When the people
ask themselves these questions it is time to
take alarm. The truth is, there is deep
seated evil in this part of our national repre-.
sentative system, and it is time 1t was ex.
posed to the public eye.
We do not hesitate to state our belief that
corruption most foul and infamous exists at
Washington, and that one half the clamor
and noise which occur at the Capitol are
raised on purpose to divert the public atten.
ton from the actual frauds that are pe-pe.
trated there.
During the present session of Congress
about ten million six hundred thousand
acres of the public lands hsve been voted
away to about dozen railway companies
and the public is hardly aware of the fact
and other similar land schemes are before
Congress which will absorb as much more.
And this is brought about in manner which
prevents the possibility of timely opposition
and detection.

The Racine R. Ran Example for Keno
Rha County


We call the attention of our readers in this City
copy from the Racine Adrocate, in reference to the
Racine & Mississippi Railroads.&c. effects already
realized by both the City and County of Racine, by
the construction of that Road and the prospects of
the Road itself, in reference to its being paying in
vestment to its stockholders. We ask careful con
sideraon of the facts therein set FORTH from those
who are so ready to excuse themselves from lending
their aid TO DOR Western Road the plea that they
do not think tie Road viii ply, and besides, that it
will be of but little, if any advantage to The people
of the county.
The success of the Racine Railroad is an indica-
ton of what the Kenosha Road will do for this City
and County, when only 80 miles is constructed
We do not think we hazard too much in saying that
Real Estate in kcnosha County, viii Increase in val
ne four times more than the entire cost of the Road
through her limits and that the business of our must
from the very nature of the country through which
it passes, and the greater case of competing with
Chicago than with Acknowledgements be much great
CIR even than that of the RacineRoad. Wehear that
the stock of the latter Road is selling at ard above
par Ours must be worth much at least if ever
constructed The objections, then. to taking stock,
and raising the requisite amount, so that the work
may be re -commenced, we cannot understand.
Every consideration of policy profit and pride, it
seems to u.s. should stimulate the land owners Of Ke
nosha County assist to the extent of their ability,
project destined to have great an influence upon
their interests.

This document which we laid before our readers
last week is probably fully discussed and digested
by them bofcft this time We not suppose that
all have read it, for although it has been withheld
month bey6ta the usual time there was too LITTLE ex
pected from Tho preseit National Executive to allow
of much impotence to see what he had to offer If
the message has been given to the nation in an un-
preccdented manner, before the organization of the
House, the manner of its appearance is not more
strange and unprecedented than its matter. We ven
ture to say that no one who has perused the docu-
men, has laid it down without feeling Of disgust
and contempt for the writer The style of the COM
position is not above meiiocrity while the facts and
common intelligence was perfectly familiar with,
long ago. Wo can detect in it nothing of that impor
lance to the nation that shoald demand it contrary
to the established usage of The country, before the
organization Of both Houses of Congress.
The message opens with statement of the condi-
ton of Foreign Affairs Generally, they are of sat
isfactory character tho in respects they wear
rather threatening aspect. But this and the sub
ect of raising recruits for the service of Great Britain
within our borders is soon disposed of and then
the burden and gist of the message--the plea and
pettifoggng for the Institution of slavery, and the
justification of the Sonth, and the consequent Grim
nation of the North
This ID new item in the Annual Message of the
President of this Republic. According to the state
ment of Mr. Pierce, the South is the long suffering,
much abused section Of the Union, while the North
is the anatical aggressor and usuper ofState rights
and the promoter and dangerous fabrcaer of schemes
for the dissolution ofthe Union. He evidently thinks
that Slavery is the great interest in the country
before which ali Others must give way Such TRADE
OF nonsense misrepresentation and special pleading,
has never before been our lot to in national
document Of this kind. All along, since the forma
ton of the Government, the North has ever been
encroaching upon and interfering with the glorious
southern institution of slavery. Because the North
has contended for Liberty and the preservation of
Freedom in the Territories it is thus branded, by a
Democratic President MS fanatic and revolutionary.
The plea for States Rights is entirely superero-
gatory The North has never attempted to interfere
with the rights institutions of the Southern States
1t has considered human Slavery as foul blot mp
our national eeeutchcon. and thus considering it,
plague spot, more of our fair heritage. And for
this, men of the North you stigmatized by your
President fanatics disorganiLers, conemners anG
deiers of the constitution. Every instance Of Sla
very extension, wherever the cursed institution has
teken stride and planted its pollutng foot in new
territories, is held up triumph of the constitution
and the patriotism of the people.

The steamer Canada left Liverpool on Saturday
Dec. 90, arrived at Halifax, Jan. 9Th.
Negotiation news important, and the pres ent
position of the peace project is this: 1t may be
nembcred that Austria made suggestions OF certain
terms not known to the puddle, which the Austrian
Cabinet considered might constitute basis for pa
citic negotiations.
The suggestion Austria sent TO Paris throughsthe
French Minister, at Vienna, the French Government
sent copy Of said suggestions 10 London much
respondencc ensued between London and Paris, re
sutng in the original suggestion being sent back al
tered, by France and England to Vienna. Austrian
Cabinet expressed modification that her suggestions
were not adopted, simply moro correspondence not
resulting in Austria agreeing to append her name
jointly with France and England 10 the modified
propositions,
The proposition, thus amended was, on Sunday,
December 9th, sent from Vienna, Count EserhaZy
being messenger to St Petersburg. Five or six days
are allowed TO reach St. Petersburg, and 10 days
more for the Cars unconditional acceptance

Doctrine of squatter sovereignty must become
nermaneiltiy established and under its influence
slavery must become fixed in Kansas and Me-
braska. Then the doctrine must be applied to
all the territories of the atiofi then the doctrine
must be declared and established that slave-hol-
ding is divine natural right, and no territory
or state has right to prohibit slavery; close up
on which comes the establishment of Kane's
doctrine, that the slave holder can go where he
pleases with his slaves, and hold and use them
as he pleases. Slavery then becomes a national
institution and is legalzed in every state of the
union. And while you have been permitting all
this to forward, you have been called upon and
compelled to deprave yourself further by negro
catching-by officiating as the blood hound and
tool of the slave owner. You are getting pretty
well along towards the condition necessary for
the shackles. AS you go to your own daily
toll, the work which you are performing, is done
in the adjoining field under the lash; labor not
down south but across that fence only is in
chains and in degradation. tits not the laborer
but the labor which is despised. "Meniaf' oc-
equations the south call it, considering those who
perform it as menials, without regard to color.
In thi condition of things, by this gradual prog
ress the idea which you now revolt at becomes
possible, and from the condition of freemen, you
and excellent reader, or orr children after US,
have fallen to the condition of slaves.
We have not over stated nor exaggerated this
matter. The strife is as we have stated. The
principle involved in this slavery condition is
what we have stated it to be. 1t is the princi-
Pile of despots the world over and let it once get
that complete ascendency in the government for
which it is now struggling and the condition of
master and serf is no better defined in Rusiaa,
than it will be finally here.
Then good reader this Kansas struggle and
this strife generally is just as much your cause
as it is that of the negro, and unless you can
think of higher measure of politics than this
strife involves, you are recreapt to your inter-
ests if yon neglect to take side or:the other
with reference to it. Ifyou are in favor of des-
potism be despot; if in favor of freedom be q
freem an and act accordingly.
And SO far as the destruction of our Republi-
can institutions and the dissolution of the Union
is concerned, for Gods sake learn one thing that
nothing whatever can endanger either except
the success and asccndency Of wrong principles.
