WASHINGTON, Dec. a. 1s5s-seats.-A message
was received from the President Of The United states,
III compliance with a resolution of the 7tl January
last, requesting him to communicate the Ofi.ta dis
patches and correspondence Of the Commissioners in
China with the State Department; which was read
and referred to the Committee on Printing.
The President enclOses letter from the Secretary
Of State, covering all the correspondence from the
28th Of October 1853, TO the 7th August 1857, and
remarkng 1T does not appear that the resolution
asks for instructions Of this Department to Messfs.
AcLane and Parker and it is not deemed advisable
that they should be made public at this juncture."
The document is exceedingly VolumiHous, occupying
at least five reans of foolscap paper.
Mr.. PearCe, from the Committee on the Library, TO
whom referred the bin to authorize the President
TO make advances to Hiram Powers, reported it back
with recommendation that it pass.
Mr.. P. having explained the object Of the BILL it
was read third time and passed.
Mr.. Seward submitted the following resolution, and
asked its present consideration;
ResOlved, That the Committee on the Judiciary
inquire whether any provisions Of law are necessary
by way Of amendment to existing laws which pro
hibit the African slave trade to secure the esctua
suppression thereof.
Mr.. Davis objected to its consi -erati0n, and it lies
over under the rule.

To the Editors of the CTescent-Gentlemen The
increasing frequency Of consumption is truly alarm
ing, and its tendency to fatal termination is uni
versaly known. The evidence of the durability of
this disease is undenable yet we find the remedies of
the regular profession uDavang. Consumption is a
constitutional disease-a morbid condition of the
blocd-and secondarily disease of the substance of
the lungs. In order to answer the many inquiries in
regard to my treatment, will here give brief de-
scrptOn
LIST. My object is to give such medicines internally
as will neutralize this morbid condition Of the blood
equalze the seeretons and give strength and energy
to every part of the system.
I'd. To expand the lungsan thereby increase their
capacity which enables them to arteriaze the blood
more thoroughly. For this purpose I have an in
haler Of my invention, which is much more effect
ual than anything of the kind before the public.
Sd. We apply local remedies to the seat Of the dis
ease by means of inhang medicated vapors. I have
compounded my medicines so as to nhae cold vapors
from them they far preferable to warm vapors
for the following reasons They add tone and strength
to the substance of the Iangs and allay irritation.
They also fortfy the system from taking cold, where
as warm vapors rather predispose person to take
cold
4th. By combining the medieated vapors with the
expansive power of the Inhaler, we are enabled to
force the vapor into the remote air cells of the lungs
and into the diseased portions, whereas with com
mon Inhaler the vapor ID but very mperfectIy con,
veyed to the seat of the disease. With my Inhaler,
have succeeded in expanding the chests of some
patients from five to six inches.
9Th. In some cases, use q Galvanic bath, which
acts very benefciaIIy the system and Sc
cretions.

Iecompton at the south.

The Washington correspondent Of the Rich
mond South says: "The feelings Of southern
members Of Congress at the prospect of the
admission Of Kansas, is various, and by no
means one Of unmixed satisfaction. A.distin-
guished South Carolina member has declared
to me that in consequence Of the Freesoil con-
trivance Of Mr.. Calhoun, he should vote against
the admission Of Kansas under the circum-
stances, as he did not wish to incur the re-
sponsibility with which the South might here
after charge its rcpresentativcs-of voting vir-
tualIy for the admission Of a free State, in dis
regard Of justice to their own section. The
South has nothing Of sectional interest to gain
by the admission Of Kansas. Under Calhoun's
decision II would, in the very act Of coming
into the Union, be a free State; and IL would
be represented at the capital by factionists who
would laugh at our delusion-that there was
to be no more controversy about Kansas. But
on the other hand, the South, as an integral
part Of the republic, has an interest in favor o.
the admission Of Kansas into the Union, sim.
ply because II would be avindication Of a con
stitutional principle, and a triumph of law and
order over faction.

A GOOD RESOLUTION.

"Mr. Edward J. Morris, the American member
from Philadelphia, secured the adoption of the
following resolution in the House of Representa-
tives, at Washington:
g Resolvsd That the President of the United
Sta1es be requested to inform this House, if COM
patible with the public interests II ministers
and diplomatic agents have been instructed to Sc
cure, in the treaties negotiated with foreign gov
ernments since 1850, the right of free worship and
honorable burial, to American citizens, resident or
travelling through their dominions; and what gov
ernments have rejected these propositions, and the
reason assigned therefor"
We are graifed that Mr.. Morris has brought
this subject to the notice of the American people
and the American government 1t is by no means
creditable to US that we permit foreign govern
ments to prohibit our citizens from worshipping
God in their own way, in those countries, ESQ that
they do not disturb or interfere with others) and
that Americans are denied honorable burial per
chance death overtakes them while travelling or
soiourning in these Catholic dominions We should
permit the flag OF no nation to enter our ports, the
Government of which will not allow American cti-
zsns temporarily residing there, freedom Of worship,
ard christian burial

southern Assistants of Northern Labor.

A correspondent Of the New York Post
gives the following "reminiscences concerning
Senator Hammond of South Carolina:
"I knew his father, who was true Yankee
from Massachusetts,. He then resided in Lex
ington district, South Carolina, and was the
owner and manager Of a saw mill He had
previously carried on the business Of a but
cher, at Columbia. His chief pride seemed to
be centred in his son, James, whom he trained
from childhood in oratorical exercises The
mother Of James was, think, the daughter Of
an Englishman, named Fox. SO the aristo-
cratic Senator is half Yankee half Bull. His
Yankee father grudged no sacrifice TO make
him an orator, and fit him for public life, moi
expecting that he would distinguish himself
chiefly in efforts against the land Of his faith
ers"
On the Boston and Worcester Railroad,
shortly after passing the Westboro' station,
may be seen an old fashioned square house,
with cupola upon the top, but otherwise Of
very unpretentious appearance. This house is
occupied by two families-brothers One is a
wheelright, very worthy man and'much re-

spected by his fellow-citizens. But he is a
Northern laborer, one who gets an humble
living by tho sweat of his brow, and one of
the class stigmatized by Senator Hammond as
slaves. Trustworthy mechanic, however this
child Of toil--this Northern slave as he would
be termed by the degenerate son Of New
England sire-is the father Of another South
ern representative. In that old house Mr..
Maynard, the representative Of the second dis
trict in Tennessee, was born. Here his father
pursued his useful calling, and his mother and
sisters braided straw, bound shoes, and taught
school to aid him through college. HIRE Mr..
Maynard imbibed principles which should have
governed his career through life, but which
seem to have been lost sight Of in the pursuit
of the gittering prizes Of ambition. The son
of Massachusetts wheelright /" Yankee
school teacher" for such Mr.. Maynard was
when he first went to the South, is one of the
most jealous defenders of the peculiar institu-
ton, and one of those who haughtily spurn
Northern labor, and who are ready at all times
to strike it down, whether by a tariff which
more direct blow at individual interests. II
has been said, and perhaps truly, that Yankees
make the hardest slaye-drivers So New
England man, who has fairly turned his back
on the home Of his childhood, and identified
himself with Southern interests, is too often
the most ready to attack the interests of the
section to which he owes. all that he is.-Bos-

scrap of political history is revived by wri-
ter in the Richmond Wing. In. 1903, James
Madison, the author of the celebrated Resolutions

On the 9th day of December of that year, the
Election Of Virginia, at the head of whom was
Spencer Roane, one of the Judges of the Supreme

in Richmond to cast the vote of the State. They

following: "7he Union ofths StateG The ma

these veterans of political warfare, as they are
about to depart from the arena standing up in be-

DOINGs OF CONGRESS.

Much of the doings in the Senate will be found
mentioned in notices of the speeches delivered
in that body during the past week, and which have
attracted 80 much attention
After the debate closed on Tuesday, the Senate
proceeded to vote upon the amendments offered to
the Kansas BILL
Mr.. Green withdrew his amendment coupling
Minnesota with Kansas, and proposed one declar-
ing that nothing in the present act should be con-
strued to abrlge or infringe the right of the peo
Pile, at all times to alter, REFORM or abolish their
form Of government, in such manner as they may
think proper; Congress disclaiming the right "a
construe the constitution of any State, except to
see that IT is republican in form. This was adopt
ed-3l to %. II is mere humbug, and does
not authorize the people to alter or amend their
consultations in any way except as the constitution
itself provides; as they had no right to do
Mr.. Criitenden submitted substitute for the
bill, providing for the admission Of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution, subject to the ratf
cation Of the people Of Kansas. But if it should
be rejected, then providing for the election of a
new convention to form another constitution, by
the people, citizens of the United States, of that
Territory. This was rejected-yeas a. nays "a.
The bill was then passed. yeas 3a, nays 20.
And SO ended, for the present, in tina. body, the
long agony.
On Wednesday, the Senate took up the Min.
nesota bill 80 to l6, and proceeded to discuss it.
but without coming to vote, went into executive
session.
The House has spent the whole time, setting to
late hour at night, in debating, or rather making
speeches upon the Kansas question; and we learn
that some very able ones have been made on both
Sides Among others highly spoken Of, is that Of
Mr.. Montgomery of Pennsylvania, Democrat, OPP
posed to Lecompton.
1t is understood that the debate in that body
will soon be closed. Nothing new can be said,
and nothing more need be said on the Kansas
subject. Let it come to vote, and be gotten out
of the way.
