THIRTY-FoURTH CONGRESS-.

TUESDAY,, FEB. rs.
SENATE, Mr.. Hunter reported bill max
ing appropriations for the payment of invalid
and other pensions for the year ending June,
1857.
Mr.. Mallory, from the Naval Committee.
reported a bill authorizing the construction of
ten sloops-of war, aud would ask its consider
alton on Monday.
Mr.. Bell OF Tennessee, spoke on Central
american affairs, taking moderate ground.
HIS opinion was, that to suppose any serious
controversy was likely to grow out of that
subject was to suppose that common sense
and reason had taken their departure from
those who had the management of affairs
However, he would be found on the side of
his country, right or wrong. Taking a view
OF the Clayton Bulwer treaty somewhat diff
terent from that of other Senators, he thought
he saw in the language Of the treaty that it
was not expected the British would withdraw
absolutely and unqualifedly from their Mos
quito Protectorate. He would not deny that
Great Britain might now be disposed to avail
herself of the forbearance oil our part, to de-
feat entirely this object OF the treaty but he
did not think it expedient at present, for this
government to take any step which might
bring on conflict, not with England alone,
but her allies, including the whole of West
ern Europe.
The following bill was passed "The laws
relative TO pilots on steamboats,, and especially
the act of 1862, shall not be SO construed "a
to affect, annul, or impair the force or validity
Of State laws, regulating pilotage in its ports,
harbors, or over bars at tie morths of rivers.
where such waters are within the territorial
jurisdiction of such State"
A bill was also passed, authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to permit the owner of
any vessel to change the name of the same.

How ABOUT THE CANDIDATEs.-Our Know
Nothing friends who have abused us for ex-
posing the pro-slavery tendencies of their Or

tract from the report of the closing proceed

son, the candidate for the Vice Presidency,
owns up to the possession of hundred
slaves
The vote by which Mr.. Fillmore was nomi-
mated for the presidency and that by which
Maj. Donelson was nominated for the vice
presidency have already been given. After
the announcement of the latter, Mr.. Donel-
son came forward and said he had not much
to say to express his gratitude. He had not
sought the nomination, and he would not de-
cline it. He was deter mined to do, if elect
ed, all he could to advance the American
cause. They had known him chiefly through
his connection with Andrew jackson, and
they would all remember that Andrew Jack.

could say that the South asked no more than
they were willing to give to the North and
the East, and the West. He had left the

left him. lie saw it was the intention of the
administration to consolidate the North as a

post to which they had appointed him, and
hoped that he would do nothing to deceive
them.

ARREST OF A FoRGER. On Friday Deputy
Chief Ham arrested IN this city man named
Daniel G.. Emory, who is perhaps one of the
most expert forgers III the country since the
death of Monroe Edwards. lie is accused, in
connection with another man who has not
yet been apprehended, of having obtained
from various banks in Philadelphi, on forged
checks, $3,70l Al, of which $42S was from
the Bank of Pennsylvania, the check purport-
ing to be drawn by Henry Neal, to the order
of David Walters 1892 from the Southwark
Bank, drawn by 1. H. Macauly 81, 5S2, 80
from the Girard Bank, drawn by w. T. Car
ter and $1,000 from the Farmers and Me-
chanics Bank, drawn by w. A. Fuller
Mr.. Ham received despatch on the 18th
in ST. from Mr.. William Russell, High Con-
stable OF Philadelphia, giving a minute de-
scription of the two men, and on Friday he
learned that Emery had arrived in Boston, and
succeeded in tracing him to the Winthrop
House where he was arrested. In his possession
the officers found $3.50 in bills on the bank of
Penn. Township. Pa, and about 5000 in gold
He answered to the description of the tallest
of the two men, and could give no reliable ac-
count of himself, stating that he had just come
from London. On account of his having his
wife with him he was permitted to remain at
the Winthrop House, under surveillance, un.
til the affair could be investigated. The tel.
Ter of the Southwark Bank arrived on Satur-
day, but although he recognized Emery
handwriting in the hotel books, he was una
bic to identify the man. Yesterday, however,
Constable Russell arrived with a woman and
a boy who saw the man in the bank, and they
at once identified him, and he was committed
to Jail. The Philadelphia officer is armed
with the necessary documents, and will start
for Philadelphia with his prisoner today.
Each of the men whose names were forged,
have had cancelled checks stolen from their
counting-room desks, which they found had
been tempered with, and from Mr.. Macauley's
desk two men were seen to take several blank
checks. The names were so skifully forged
that their owners themselves could scarcely
distinguish them from the real signatures. -

CoNvENIENoEs.- Some people seem to think
that economy pertains only to the necessaries
and not to the conveniences, of life. THIS is
not always, if it be often, true. The neces.
saries OF life we must have at any rate. and
where the attainment of them is not rendered
easy by convenient means, the labor of pro
curing them is often great, besides there being
not little time lost i'll the acquisition. What.
ever saves time saves money to an industrious
man, and conyeniences often save very Innch
OF time. Consequently they subserve the eause
OF economy. In the construction or buildings
farm yards, and plantations, many stems and
much hard labor may be saved by having
every thing planned in reference to the great
est convenience. Better have your water in

your kitchen or sink room by lead pipe and
house pump, than to have to trot out of doors
IN cold and heat, wind and rain, for every
pail full or draught which you or any mem.
Der OF the family may require. If well il
situated near the house, ordinary the expense
OF letting lead tube down to the water and
then extending the pipe under ground to YOUR
premises, with small pump attached from
the sink, would cost but little more than an
old fashioned wooden pump and gear at the
well. BY this means many steps would be
saved, health would be less exposed in severe
weather, and your house would be warmer nv

T77;737S01Y FEBRUARY rs, 1856,
- ~, OhIiIeraled.

H. ZOO, fundamental basis of principles
on which the American party was founded,
was opposition to Roman Catholicism. The
burden of their appeals has been universally,
the evils of Popery, the danger from papal in
Auences, and the innumerable iniquites of the
Roman Catholic Church. The denominations
of the "Great Red Dragon and the APPALLING
crimes of the I" Mother of Harlots,' have been
the great themes of all their orators, and
the unvarying tune of all their songs. But
at t, recent Convention az Philadelphia, the
Catholic test was obliterated from the creed.
And in consistency with this new creed, was
the action of the Convention in admitting, by
a decided vote, the Louisiana delegates, al
though full-blooded adherents of the papal
faith to seats in that body. So the National
American organization now stands before the
country disrobed of its distinctive politi-
cal principles. TO be sure they put INTO It a
plank requiring Of foreigners residence of
twenty-one years before naturalization, but
the motive for this lay deep in slaveholding
policy, which may be summed up in few
words, in the language of distinguished South
ern Americans, :" to put check upon foreign
emigration, the tendency of which is to build
up the North, as emigrants generally settle in
the free States" 1t well known that one rea-
son of the vast increase in population of the
North over the South, is owing to this emil
grafton.
1t is for this reason that the Shareholders are
SO strenuous for the twenty-one years test
They care nothing about the Catholic test, as
Romanism at the South includes among its
adherents the slaunchest {" natives OF the
soil. The building up of the slave power is
all the Southern K MS are after-they care
not fig for "Americanism" any further than
it can be made to subserve their dominant aim
of extending and perpetuating the rule of the
slave power.
