A FEMALE Now TO PREVENT FEMALE
ExTRAvAGANcE IN DREss.-The Cottr5er
des Etdts Unis says, that in the city OF
Belgium extravaganza has assumed such a
farming proportions that The ladies them
selves have been obliged to combine for
the purpose Of arresting its progress. II
appears that extravasaGce had been foI
some years "a source Of complaint in fami-
lies; and it was, notices were contracte
since the you g men frightened at the bill
that doomed up in the distance, pefferred to
to live in celebicy. The mothers recog-
nizing the Inconvenience of state Of af-
fairs encouraged by themselves, have re-
solved to bring about a salutary reform,
and with the view they formed a commit
tee which meets once q week. They have
declared open war with extravaganza, and
every mother announces publicly the re-
trenchlncnts made in her own household
expenses. Perhaps if, says a Brooklyn
exchange, mammas in other cities would
try the same reformation, they might ge,
off their surplus stock Of manageable ar
ticles. Dry goods are like electricity
They have positive and negative inhu-
cnce,and repel as well as attract. The
silks and laces are very attractive, but the
bills are repr lsive articles.

Senator Wilson's speech on the Presi-
dents message is one of the most scathlng
things we ever read. During It's delivery
he was interrupted by NJ. Rusk, of Texas,
who, among other things remarked that he
hal Frequently expressed the conviction
who'll was ON his mind, that all the hue
and cry about slavery is raised, not by the
people of the North,not by the mechanics,
not by the hard listed farmers, but by dis
app6inted politicians who desire to get in
to officc on sectional ISSUE" He also, APP
piled the term fanatics" to those who are
opposing slavery extension. Mr.. Wilson
replied as follows:
II hope the Senator from Texas, and
those who act with him, will disabuse tlieir
minds right speedily of that idea. Cast
your eve over the North; take New Eng
land, with her one hundred and fifty thou
sand popular majority against your candi-
date; take the great State Of New York
take the whole line Of Northern States
and when you look at them, remember
that Ne have large plurality in all OF
them, except in a portion Of them included
within about forty thousond square miles OF
territorv, and that we intend to burn over
in lie XII four years. allude to eastern
and central Penusy lvania, southern Indiana,
southern Illinois AMI q small portion of
New Jersey. There we mean to discuss
the quesiion, and have it well and clearly
defined and understood. The rest of The
North is ours. If you believe that the
pejple are fanatics, or that their leaders
deceive thom, remember one thing, that III
1850 there were in the United States
nearly eight hundred thousand free persons
above twenty-one years Of age who could
not read or write. Only ninety-four thou
SAM. out Of this eight hundred thousand
ha5pened to live in the States in which
Fremont has carried. Remember another
thing. that the State of Massachusetts,
which sou consider so ULTRA people SO
easily deluded-prints within a few thou

Eg Last winter a bill was crowde

ALast winter a bill was crowded
through Congress providing for the estab
lishment of free schools for the white chill
dren of the District of Columbia. The
law, however, had a ploviso attached, thai
it was only to take effect in those school
districts where the people should, at al
election held for The purpose, vote to ac-
cept it. The election was held short
time since, and every school district voted
against the free school low!
The capitol Of our country located in
rather a dark region, if We judge from this
vote.

A BUCHANAN PAPER JuBILANT OVER THE

A BUCHANAN PAPER JUBILANT OVER THE
REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The N
Y. Day Book, an ardent supporter Of Mr.
Buchanan, has had its sensiblities sadly
outraged by those members of Congress
who voted against the revival of the slave
trade. After publishing Mr.. Ethridge's
resolution, it says: 3
1--WE publish it for the especial benefit
Of our southern friends, and at the time,
solemnly ask them how we are to make
head against this atrocioas crusade against
the South, when they themselves not only
harbor traitors in their midst, but actually
honor them with seats in the national Leg
stature? The mover of this infamous res
olution," .Sc.
. In the same strain il proceeds to speak
of the Slave Trade in general. We quote.
Snow, can it be possble,or is it in the ma
tnrc Of things possible, that bringing these
negroes here is wrong? Can it be wrong
to transform rude and brutal sayages into
useful and happy Christians? Or can il
he right to carry these negroes back to AT
RIGA, to transform Christian beings into
roaming, semi-bestial savages? Yes the
civilized word say--'yes,' say he toadie<
and laekueys of kings and aristoesats-
'yes,' say the upholders of European oppres-
sion-al. those who desire to preserve .arti-
fetal distinctions among those. God had
made equal--'yes,' say the deu.led and de-
bauched Abolitionists, and ives, says NOR
al and humane Mr.. Ethridge. But this
is only one side of the case, though it is
abu dainty sufficient to convince any man
that stupendous imposture isrracticed
somewhere"
