The Democrats North prefer TIM, Kansas shall come
into the Union s free State, and the Democrats
South prefer that it should in a Slave State
--Lon,seiHe Democrat
This is the language of tho leading organ of
Democracy in the West. 1t is simply confess
sion Of the truth that the Democracy Of the North
are opposed to the extension of slavery and in
favor of free soil. While this is VIGOROUSLY true
of the Northern Democracy. the Richmond En-
quirer makes its pronunoamento in favor of the
extension of slavery Us the only means of saving
the Union. Let the people of the South as the
last expedient for the preservation Of the Union,
rally upon the principle of an extension of the
pro- slavery power pdri passu with tho aggran-
dizement Of the power Of the anti slavery Siates"
for. says the Enquirer, lit is our right, under tho
constitution, and our right outside Of the consi.
tuition, in virtue of the necessities of self proteo-
ton" If We are to fight, the Enquirer thinks
there could be no better or higher ground for tho
South to rally on than this demand for an increase
of slave States, cotemporaneous with the increase
of the free States. 1t is certain that the North
ern Democracy "prefer," in the language Of tho
Louisville Democrat, that Kansas and all the
other Territories shall come into the Union as
free States. Preferring this. they are neces sa-
rily hostile to the concession of privilege which
the Enquirer maintains should be made an ulii.
matum of the South and upon which that jour-
nal is ready to 60 to The conclusion is that
the Enqurer.ifits policy is adopted by the South,
will have TO take up arms against those very men
who 1t has all along insisted were the natural
allies and best friends of the South Douglas,
Richardson, Shields. Cass, and all the Leaders of
Northern Democracy prefer free soil to slavery
and are opposed 10 the latter's extension. They
are, therefore. such enemies Of the South as that
the Enquirer is ready 10 shoulder arms and
march against them.

SENATE.

WAsuINGToN Jan. 9-Mr. Seward introduced
n bill to expedite telegraphic communication for
the uso of the government in its foreign inter-
course. 1t authorises the Secretary of State, in
the discretion and under the direction of the Pres
ident to contract with any competent person,
or persons association for the aid of the u.
s.. in LAYING down n submarine cable to connect
existing telegraphs between New FoundlaLd and
the coast of ireland. and for the use of such sub
Murine communication when established by the
Government Of the United States such terms
and conditions as shall seem TO tho President
just and reasonable.
Provided, That the government of Great Brit
ain shall before ut the same time enter into
like contract for those purposes with the same
person, persons. or associations and upon terms
of exact equality with those stipulated by the
United States.
And provided, further, that the tariff of prices
for the use Of such submarine communication
by the public shall be fixed by the Secretary of
the Treasury of the L. s.. and the government
of Great Britain. or it's authorized agent.
Provided, further. That the United States shall
enjoy the of the submarine telegraph COM
,unicn'ion for IA period of fifty yenrs. on the
sumo terms and conditions which shall be stpu-
10 ted in favor of tho Government of Great Brit
ain in the contract so to be entered into by such
person or persons, or association, with that gov.
ernment. Referred to the Committee on the
Post Office.
The House bill for the payment of invalid and
other pensions was passed.
The Senate then resumed the consdsrat on of
tho Iowa election case.
Mr.. Seward based his argument in favor Of Mr..
Haran's right 10 sent, on the ground that
while Legislative acts require the concurrent
votes of the two branches Of the Legislature.
the net of choosing a United States Senator was
not Legislative act, but merely additional
ou ~. which had been deyolved upon the mem
beers of the Legislature. When they performed
this duty it was in joint convention, the individu
nifty of the two houses being merged and lost in
the joint body.
Dir. Stuart took the position that the elect on
Was unconstitutional, aud the report of the com
mittee ON the Judiciary TO that effect was well
founded. Messrs. Brown and Hale favored the
claim Of the sitting member.
Messrs. Touccy and Douglas opposed it, but
Tic, question was taken.
On motion of Mr.. Bell. of New Hampshire, II
re, olution was adopted requesting the President

rect charge of bribery through pablo Journal
The Baltimore American says " 1t Is boldly as
serted that, among certain class of these rep
resentatives, il is well understood that they and
all thew possess is in the market They are
charged not only with the petty dishonesty of
selling 10 more ambitious members the eligible

them.
We do not CONTINUES the American) pretend
sto endorse these charges. but only to direct at
tention to the fact that they are repeatedly and
persistentiy made by parties residing at Wash
iueton and endorsed and reiterated by the our
mails these parties represent. To picture any
state of society more dissolute, corrupt, and ut
terly vena than that these correspondents des-
cribe to be the one in which members of Congress
exist would be an impossibty. The lobby has
grown overpowerng in its wicked influence and
criminal audacity. II rules and corrupts every

The agencies of their influence comprehend all

position of one member Of Congress makes him
easy prey. Another falls a victim to the So

Gov. WIsE's LOAN OF MUsKRrs.-- We take
the following from Gov. Wise's anntal mes
sage.
And here will take occasion to inform you
that lately the Governor of Maryland applied
to me, as chief executive of Virginia, to lend
to that State portion Of the public arms, for
reasons for which he states in the aecompa-
nying letters, and which appear in his accom-
panying correspondence with the Mayor Of
Baltimore. His purpose was avowed to pro-
tect the freedom OF elections and the peaceful
exercise of the elective franchise in the state
whose lawshe is bound to see faithfully execut
ed, and the safety of whose people he is bound
to defend. He was the judge Of the necessity
which called for the exercise of conservatorial
powers, and he declared the want of arms to
keep the peace, and asked the comfy of
loan of two thousand muskets from the State
Virginia for the purpose of protecting the safe
ty Of the people of Sister State, in the en-
ioyment of the most sacred rights of Ameri-
can freemen. With some knowledge of the
necessity for this call, and full knowledge of
my powers, duties and responsibilities, did
not hesitate to grant the request ordered the
arms to be delivered to the agent sent to take
them on with dispatch, who receipted for them,
they were sent, were not used, and have been
returned in good order, without loss, cost or
charge to the State of Virginia.

The SLAVE AND CooLIE TRADRs.-Advices
from Havana state that the African Slave
Trade was never more flourishing. Four car
goes Of negroes had been landed on the is
thousand four hundred unfortunates, and three
of the vessels which brought them were built
and are, it is thought, owned in Massachus-
etts. The French had placed II large steam
propeller in the coolie trade, and landed from
her eight hundred and forty-two Chinese, who
were sold by first hands to others, and by them
to sub-co ntractors, for labor, realizing profit
for each party. Each speculstor made about
$3.50 profit per head, and the full price for q
Chinaman with hair uncut) was $420, ,75.-
The authorities in the different ports of entry

thus describes the home of this doubtful clai-
mant to French royalty;
We were never more struck with the beauty
of tho williams IS Tract'' than one day last
week, when we happened up there, looking
for lost horse. The house sits upon the
banks, of a river, which is quite high, and
commands fine prospect up and down the
stream. In front is a row Of trees, and the
bank slopes gently down to the river, termna-
ting in a grassy meadow, favorite for horses
and cattle. 1t is perhaps not as commanding
u situation, yet it much resembles Mount Yer
non, the house OF chief in fact. In the
rear is neglected field, and westward stretch
es large marsh prairie. Before visions OF

heavy railroad iron. They are also rolling
large and heavy iron glrders for buildings
This is branch OF business that is not done
in any other works, and with the experienced
and skfllful hands, they turn out work to per-
lection. They are now engaged on an order
from U. S. Government, in rolling cut iron
girders of the largest and heavies class, meas
uring fifty.one feet two inches in length, and
weighing one hundred and seventeen pounds
