''AGITATING THE SLAVERY QUESTION"

"AGITATING THE SLAVERY QUESTION"
The Know Nothings regard it as a great outrage
that the Democrats should continue to "agtate the
slavery question" When we attempted last sum
mer to hold Mr.. Fillmore responsible for having per-
sistently voted with the Abolitonists in every in
stance while member Of Congress, we we're charged
with "agitating the slavery question" When we
seek to hold Mr.. Etheridge responsible for having
delighted the AbolitiOnists Of the North at the ex-
pense Of the honor of the South by his anti-slave
trade resolutions we are again charged with agtat-
ing the question of slavery. When We have sought
to hold Mr.. Bell responsible to his constituents for
having Disregard their sentiments and yielded their
rights to the demands Of Abolitonism in nearly ev-
cry instance where he should have defended them,
we are again charged with "agitating the slavery
question" When we seek to hold Mr.. Hatton and
his party responsible for eOalescing with the AbO-
EtiOnists in their deadly opposition to the Kansas
bin repeating the Missouri compromise, the cry is
again raised that we are "agitating, dangerously
agitating the slavery question"
We have no doubt they dislike such agitation very
much. 1t is death to them. They writhe under its
torture. 1t is letting in the scOrching light Of
truth upon their naked defOrmity. It is dsspating
the pestilenial atmosphere on which they alone can
live.
If this be "agitatiOn we glory in it. We shall
continue to agitate long as there is page Of
the Congregational GLOBE or a file of a New York TTi-
5uns left, from which we can quote to expose their
actions and portray their character It shall follow
them as a spectre embitering their thoughts by day
snd troubling their dreams by night. Wewill keep
it constantly before their eyes and ringing in their
ears.

HATTON KFRSrS RFLL

Judging from the letter-Eriters whose communi-
cations grace the columns of our city papers, as well
~ from other sources, we fear the Know Nothing
candidate for Governor is getting little before the
wind. 1t has been more than limited that he is for
taking down at a single gulp the whole Of our i'm
mense domain and parceIing it out among tho States.
We had thought at first Ofsuggestingt to him an idea,
borrowed in part, we confess from Bishop Hopkins,
who wants the public lands applied to the humane
purpose Of emancipation He estimates their val
ne fully two thousand millions Of dollars and thinks
British capitalists would advance the money and
take lien uTon them as collateral security. Our
idea wss, by some hook or crook, which the COM
prehensive grasp Of the aforesaid grandiloquent
candidate might suggest to take the start Of Bishop
Hopkins, raise the two thousand millions at once,
and make clean honest divide among the voters.
But then we remembered how often the party had
been compelled to wheel to the right about and take
the back track for having started off without con-
sulting the Hon John Bell, and we thought it might
be best to know his views on the subject, else we
might very innocently ges our friend into another
sorape.
It turned out just as we had feared. He says,
and to mind he spoke it rather gingerly too, 81
propose no grants Of lands 10 any State in 1gcb there
are no public lands This has aIt0gys been objected
to by the new States, upon the ground that it was
unbecoming the dignity Of any State, that other
States, cO-sovereigns, co-members of the Union,
should be proprietOrs holders Of portion Of the
public domain within their limits Tcouesde, u not
the entire Uaidy Of that objection, get force enough to
it to defeat any measure proposing such grants" Yer
bum sat, that is to say huff sed!" Fearing then,
lest might get friend into trouble, thought
it best to say nothing about the matter, except
commend the foregoing extract to his notice. and to
remind him in the language Of the poet that
Larger boats may venture more,
But little boats should keep near shore"

CONGRESSIONAL MANNERs.-On Satur-
day morning gentleman and his wife took
seats together in the Northern cars at
Washington, but the gentleman was obliged
to leave for moment to look after his bag
gage. On his return, he found the Hon.
Albert Rust, of Arkansas sitting in bis seat
to whom he explained that he had taken
that seat, and that it was his wife that oc-
cupied the place beside him. Mr.. Rust
refused TO leave. The gentleman persisted
urgently in claiming his seat, when the
Hon. Member rose and drew his bowie
knife. A fight seemed inevitable, but the
general feeling manifested itself so strongly
against Rust that he put up his knife. and
agreed to leave the seat, if permitted to fe-
tire with the honors of war. The lady
was so frightened that she was barely saved
from fainting. Rust left the cars ct the
Relay House, and went west.

END OF THE WORLD AT HAND.-Paris
is very much excited by an astronomical
controve sy at which all do not laugh
The two most eminent astronomers, one of
France, the other of Germany, are arguing
whether the world is to come to an end on
the thirteenth Of June merit. All the SCI
entifc world, ii appears, have long been
uneasy at the approach of the comet to our
earth; and though it is conceded by tie
disbelievers, that the contact must take
place in June next, they argue Tor Mons.
Babinet, the French astronomer, for them,)
that, rs comets are but astronomers affairs,
it will not materially effect us. The Ger
man, on the contrary, says that it will not
merely be the passing of a gentleman who
smokes" but that its centre is solid fire,
and that the surface of the earth will be
turned into sea of fiery lava, by his formid-
able cigar. The mile n um, of course, is
TO turn out fiction, and Mr.. Barnum will
barely have time to get well of his bilious
feyer-HOme Journal.
