rejected, it is not unlikely that there may be Sc

1t is important to notice MS sign Of the times
in massachusetts. that the House of Representa-
tives have lately granted the use of thar Hall to
the Abolition Society. who according had their
meeting. ana resolved among other things:
1st. That the time has gone by for man to
core forward on the anti slavery platform, and
support the Constitution of the United States.-
3D. That it is mle, sible to reconcile the spirit Of
liberty. with that of slavery. Sd. That the Dred
Scott decision alone, would justify Massachusetts,
in secession. 4th That the Supreme Court is the
ally of slavery.
So we 60. I don't imagine that many tears
would be shed on the retirement of Massachusetts,

ERACASIN CONGRESS.

\ difficulty occurred in the House of Represen-
tatives on Saturday last between Col. kEITT Of
this State, and Mr. GROW of Pennsylvania. A
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, who
was an eve witness, gives the following account of
the affair:
WASHINGTON, Feb 6, 1858.
About two o'clock, 4. NJ, Gen. Quitman Of
fered proposition to dscntange the proceedings
in the House. Mr. Grow, who was in one Of the
aiscs on the democratic side Of the House, object.
ed little tartly. Mr. Keitt said to him, "Go on
the other side of the House, to which you belong,
if you want to object" Mr.. Grow answered,
.'Pll object where l please" Mr.. Keitt then
said, 'Wait till ! can come round, and I'll take
care Of you" Mr.. Keitt went round and said to
him, "You Abolitionist puppy, move to your side
of the House, and don't stay here" Grow said,
"lll stay as long as please" Mr.. kcitt then
choked him for an instant. He then started off,
when Mr. Grow said, "You can't come from your
plantation and crack the whip over me-" Mr..
for that insolence," and he grasped his throat q
second time. Gen. Davis, Of Miss, then interfer-
ing wrenched Mr.. Kett round to keep them apart,
and pressing him against the corner of table,
Mr. Keitt partially fell. Mr.. Grow, when Mr..
Keitt was wrenched round to separate them, struck
at Mr.. Keitt, we think, but did not reach him.
Those by say he did not reach him. Mr.. Barks-
dale, in interfering to separate them, was struck,
ard dealt few heavy blows in return. The whole
thing was sudden and over in moment. There
was not much exctemant prevailing before or
afterwards. This is n succint statement of the
whole affair, which will, doubtless, be greatly ex-
aggerated by Black Republican prints. The
whole thing was eXtemporaneOus.
