Two Lies Hunted Down.

The New York Tribune OF Tuesday
thus hunts into their holes a couple OF
the meanest lies that have recently
been started:
The Detroit Free Press contains the
Address Of a late Democratic State
Convention ito the Democrats of Mich
igan." made up of base attempts to
make party capital by frauds.of which
the following is fair sample:
at will be recollected that the late
Republican House Of Representatives,
whose time expired on the 18th inst.
passed o. act at their first session TO
increase their pay from SO per day to
ST. 900 per session"
Now the bill thus characterized ORR
ginated, not in the House at oil, where
the Republicans had n plurality only,
but in the Senate, where tho Repubi.
cans were not fourth Of the members.
It's author was Judge Butler. of South
Carolina, one Of the most bitter "dem-
ocratic' opponents Of the Republicans
the uncle in whose behalf Preston
s. Brooks so brutaily attacked Senator
Sumner-and passed that body by the
decisive vote OF 80 to IS.
Mr.. Buffers bill only gave the men,
bers 90, 500 year; but, on It's reach
| ing the House. Colonel Orr, Of 8. @.
IA leading pro.slavery Democrat, who
repeatedly received the fall vote Of his
party for Speaker Of the last House,
and who will pretty surely be It's can
didate for speaker next December
moved TO raise the salary to $4,000 a
year. called the previous question, car.
ried the amendment, and put the bill
through by the close vote OF 100 Yeas
to 90 or 90 Nays. ETOf these vo.
ters for the bill. decided majority
were opposed to the Republicans and
voted with Orr against Fremont last
fall. The Republicans cast 40 for the
bill and SO against Il; so that. IL other
parties had opposed IL as strongly a'
they did, II must have been defeat
cd.
We do not propose to follow these
scavengers further. Their assertion
that the three Members Of Congress
impeached by the Investigating Com
mii,ec were all Republicans is grossl,
untrue. and we presume wilIfuIly 80

nf'A letter from Albany dated
March 9Th. says
1.-THE bred Scott decision has pro-
duced much feeling here. and this
morning the following resolution was
offered by Judge Foot. Of Ontario:
Whereas, The Supreme Court OF
the United States have decided. by
the concuring opinion of the 6ye
members Of that Court from the slave.
holding State. that slavery may be
extended into the territories Of The
United States. and tia, neither Con-
gress nor q territorial government in
stituted by Il can exclude slavery from
them. and which decision has in effect
declared slavery to be national, and
most seriously impaired the constitu-
iional rights Of the free citizens Of This
State.
Therefore. Resolped Or the Senate
concur, That a joint committee Of
three members OF the Assembly. be
appointed to consider and report what
measurs If any, the Legislature Of
this State ought to adopt to protect
the constitutional rights Of her eili-
Gems against the serious and alarming
doctrines of the aforesaid decision"

Resignation of GOV. Grnry.

Gov. Geary has actually resigned,
at least our st. Louis Correspondence
is positive on this point. He has re-
signed because he is not supported at
Washington-because the promise
made to induce him to take the Office
have moi been fulflled-because he
was left to the mercy Of Pro-Slavery
iufiians, who were thirsting for his
blood, and whom he should have been
empowered to trample undr foot--be-
cause Lecompte. Notwithstanding the
pretense ofremoying him, is still Chief
Justice Of Kansas, and likely TO remain
so-and because everything conspires
so far as the action Of the Government
is concerned, to ensure success to the
plot TO make Kansas a Slave State in
spite Of herself. We fear Slave law
