ent II tie n Y. Evening Post y able to make
the following satisfactory reflections:
II q surprising rhas difference has taken
place since the late elections Il the North, in
the feelings Of Congressman on the exciting sub
jects' that used TO evoke so c0pious now of
| threats and revelations. Formerly, when South
ern men were boisterou, Northern men we're
either frightened out Of their propriety or driven
| to similar display Of vehemence. Now, not
withstanding the prolonged contest in the House
having its origin in the question of slavery, both
parties, the lion Of the South and the lamb of
the North, lie down together in the most peace
full fashion. Even their diffe rcnces are subjects
Of good natured comment. The North Is so
strengthened that it can afford to laugh, like
pttrsy well-fed Alderman at the occasional de-
monstration of its diminutiye opponent. And
when such man as Shorter, Of Alabama, pro-
poses TO exclude Massachusetts, members from
their seats in the House, he is greeted, not with
indignation, but with derisive laughter.
The general impression is, that after the ex-
IRENE pretensions lately put forth by Southern
members have once been set at rest by moder-
ate but. decisive legislation, they win be sur
Prised to find how little they had been hurt. In
the quiet enjoyment of their local privileges,
they will wonder at their former useless smbi-
ton to impose them on people outside of their
own boundaries Alter few more attempts at
slavery propagandizing, it il to be hoped, they
viii subside into wiser, but not sadder men,

"THArs ANOTHER THING."-John P. Hale, in
his late Presidential speech related the follow
ing pithy anecdote:
Sir, heard very instructive comment made
upon his Message by Southern gentlemen with
in very brief time. sOh,a said he, sit is one
of the best messages that ever was written, and
Pierce is the best President We baye ever had
since Washington" SWELL" said the person TO
whom he was speaking, ''you will renominate
him, will you not :" "No,s said he s'that's
another thing: his Message is little too strong
to get Northern votes with: We shall not use
kin any more" That is exactly the position in
which the ssatter stands.
