We see that the English papers are warning
thrr readers to beware of American Securities 4"
in consequence of the late decision Of our Court of
Appeals in the matter Of the Schuyler Stock
This We expected, and We cannot reasonably CON-
plain of it. If regular Certificates of Shares,
signed by the President and cOuntersigned by the
Treasurer are not proof of property, what is, or
can be? We cannot wonder that John Bull, after
after all bis bleeding by "the drab. .cOlOred men of
"PeDn,ylyania and the Mississippi swindlers,
should be slow to appreciate the as.ute reasoning
of Judge Comstock in the opinion which expressed
the seDse of the Court. 1T msy be American
Law" he would be apt to say; lit strikes me
as rery American Law; but think the less of

" can Law the better for me- And the better for
him perhsps it may be; but much the worse for US.
For John Bull has just what Jonathan lacks, viz:
Capital AID any increase of distrust on his part
be felt In the various enterprises for develop
iDg the resources of the country. But We dD not
tbbk we can reasonably blsme our fst friend.
For what possible proof can he have Of the genu-
nepess of any public securities OF ours that he
and We had not of that of the Schuyler Certii-
Gates ?
1t is not gratifying to our national pride 20 have
such things said of US. 1t discredits US as busi-

new Beck restriction. In fact, three four.hs of
all the disbursements by Congress of she last six

The Absentee restriction is even a more transpa-
reut humbug 1t is not worth a row of pins. Just
col slider bow large share of the Members have
been absent this sesson-aycraging at least one
fourth Of the whole number-and then see how
much will be deducted from their aggregate COM

least a Quarter of Million Dollars; we predict
that there will not be even $50, 600. There is Mr.
Packer of Peprs sylvania, who has notOriously been
away nearly half the session, attending to his Pri-
vate business, and ought not to receive more than
$3.50 compensation under the provisions Of this
bill. Let US zee how much short of $4,000 he
actually takes. So with others, who have been
away for weeks together, looking after their rail-
road .peculations in Maine, Wisconsin and other
distant localities. Who keeps tally of these

He arrived two or three hours before the Session
closed, Just in time to clutch it, and pat out for
home seain, Win his bag under his arm. He
must have known before he left Missouri that Con-
gress had voted to adjourn on the 18th inst, aud
that he could barely arrive in season TO get his
Mileage aud take II away with him. This is a
striking rxemplifcation Of modern patriotism.
The other event of the day was brutal attack
on Gen. Granger of our State BY Fayette McMu-
In, one Of the Members from Virginia. Tne two
Members ~ere riding to the House together in an
omnibus, when they fell into discussion respect
ing Slavery and the topics of the day, which ended
in MIR. McMullen seizing Gen. Granger and strk-
ipg him in the face. Their fellow passengers
Instantly interpreted and stopped the disgrsceful
assault. McMullen ia weak but by no means a
quarrelscme or badtempered man, and this out
rage ia but an evidence of the ruffanism of bear
ing aud maDners which Slavery imposes on her
champions as against her determined antagonists
Gen Granger is az peaceful and courteous gentle
man as lives, but most decided oppoDent OF
Slavery.
SO ends the First Session of the XXXGvth
Congress. Let us now see what will be the result
of that which opens on Thursday. Possibly the
Administration may succeed in compelling the
Representatives Of the Free States to hand over TO
their tender merces, without let or hindrance the
unhappy Free.State settlers Of Kansas, and to
abandon the people now endeayoring to enter the
Territory in spite of Atchison and Stringfellow's
army Of Border RufiaDs. Possibly this may all be
accomplished; but we shall not believe it till we
sec it.

This however was more than our people could TO-
sud Committee Of Five of citizens accordingly

ordered them 20 leave he city In five days

1t is not here pretended that these booksellers

need of d Committee of Five" to " order them to
"eave the city in FIVE days" On the contrary,
they would have been prosecuted, arrested and

charged with "seling books that We're regarded as

sustain this allegation 1t is not charged that they

OF course, they only sold TO such citizens aa wanted
books of that character had there been no buyers,
there would have been no sale. And for thus sup
plying free citizens of Alabama with such books
an they desired and chose to read, in violation OF no
law and 10 right, these booksellers have oeen hunted
Ike wolves from Mobile, aud had their. business
broken up and their hopes blasted. Very probably
their worldly means are destroyed by this outrage,

T" What Flag shall Wave"
BY d. BBTHUNE pUFFIELD.


What flag shall wave when from on high
Disunion drags our ensign down,
And where its stars now deck our sky,
The clouds Of hate shall darkly frown!
What hand to rend that flag shall dare,
When all my claim the nations sign?
And not CLEAN of glory there,
But each proud State may say, "'Tis mine!"
IT'S mine it's thine, tits theirs, tits ours,
We all have trusted in its might;
And in the nations darkest hours
Our fathers bore it to the fight.
The memories Of the past are there,
Fast clinging to each silken fold;
The pious hope the vow, the prayer,
From hearts aud lips now still and cold.
Our sires' strong faith, their war.worn years;
Their dying groans; their conquering cry;
Their orphans wall their widows tears.
Their martyr-truth, that neer shall die.
Their sacred blood, in wild alarm,
Would call that traitor hand to stop,
As once Gods angel stayed the arm
OF Abraham on the mountain top.
And vale to vale, and crag to crag,
The deep toned curse would echo far,
On him who rends the Uniou's flag,
Or from the azure tears one star.
Then, patriots, since our flag alone
Belongs to all our fathers land,
Still let that one that Ger them snone,
Shine on their sons--a brother band.
Yes! let it shine Its hues shall be
A bow Of promise to our eyes;
Ger arching wide, from sea to sea,
The noblest land beneath the skies.
