Congressional.

| WASHINGTON, April 30.-SENArE.--
Mr.. Doolittle offered resolution that
a wagon road be constructed from Fort
Benton to the nayigable waters of the
Colorado River, at Wallawalla. Re
ferred to the Military Committee.
Mr.. Houston's resolutions seeking to
establish protectorate over Mexico
was taken up.
Mr.. Mason opposed it and moved to
lay it on the table. Motion agreed to.
The report of the Conference Com
mittee on Kansas was then taken up.
| The matter was discussed by num-
Der of Senators, among others Mr..
Seward, who spoke as follows:
| He objected to the conference report
because it presented false issue to the
people. The true question at issue was
the submission of the Constitution to
the people. The question of public
lands has nothing to do with that, mas
much as lands are the dowry of new
States. The land question does not
occupy one line of the 1900 quarto
pages of the Kansas debate it is a
feigned issue besides the question of
numbers is equally new, dating only
from the conference, viz: that Kansas
has enough population for slave State,
and just half enough for free State.
Further, he objected to the bill because
it bears equivocation on its face. 1t
purports to be a submission of her
dowry, but it submits the Lecompton
Constitution, and it is so regarded by
Democratic presses. Thus indirectness
and equivocation are on the bill, and
double entendres in Legislation are an
immortality. Moreover, if you make a
slave barrier across this latitude of AS
degrees, you interpose barrier to
progress more insurmountable than the
Rocky Mountains or the Sierra Nevada.
/ 1t amused him when he heard patriotic
linen talking of removing the capital
If you confine slavery within its legiti-
mate limits the capital of this nation
may remain and be capital of an en-
pire that may grasp the line and the
equator. No such destiny awaits it if
you separate by slave barrier the At
lantic free States from the Pacific free
States. Further this bill is nothing but
Lecompton-Lecempton with a varia-
ton. You toss coin and bid Kansas
cry eagle or liberty. If she says eagle,
you give her slavery; if the effigy lib
erty, you give slavery still. What
thinks the Senator from Pennsylvania,
representing the first free State. The
Senator from the land of Roger Will
liams, the Senator from California,
whose State was saved from slavery by
efforts other than his and the Senator
from Indiana. But they have another
question to settle with their people at
home. What answer will they give to
this proposal which leaves only the
semblance, and not the choice of lib
erty. a friend here asks what will the
people of New Jersey say? He could
himself answer because the blood of
the, men, who hazarded their life and
means for his liberty, flowed through
his veins. He knows the blue hills of
! New Jersey, and will answer that the

GOODNESS toward them. tn,


:, warbling songsters, each with
its particular note, join in the song of
praise and thanksgiving, that this
happy season has again returned. The
youth are now jubilant over the arrival
of the day over whose glorious history
they oft have sit and heard their grand
parents dilate in the narration of the
unsophisticated pleasures of their an
cestors. We presume many of your
readers have a vivid recollection of a
group of happy lads and lasses, assem-
bled around May-pole, and pretty
May-queen being crowned with flowers
There is few words uttered and this
floral monarch is set upon her throne.
Then follows other gesticulations and
ceremonies, and the happy scene is
over. All return to their homes, some
glad, and others with sad hearts that
they could not have been crowned
"Queen of the May" But this old
custom of monarchial countries is not
known with us, and the-first of May
brings not so many pleasing recollec-
tons, or feasts of pleasure, as to the
inhabitants OF those countries where 1T
is observed. 1t serves to remind us
here that the season of planting is at
hand, that the farm labors now demand
out attention, and that we must make
preparation for an approaching harvest.
1t reminds the wives and daughters of
the duties of house cleaning, and brings
to our mind quite forcibly the recollec-
ton of the time when we were boys,
and ofthe many thumps then dealt out
to us for our clumsiness in letting fall
some piece of furniture, or turning over
some tub of dirty water. Stars without
number were then visible to us in mid
y sound OF aS 1l1Is1n =
day, and - many waters
saluted our senses, caused by a suddeI
conclusion of air from something
(mother's HANDY being brought in con

the last slave votes given for the next
ten years. Addressing himself next to
the election board, he said ghosts on
the sly are not more thick and cloudy
than are the spirits of the departed
Governors of Kansas, who attempted to
give correct returns. He had no conf
dence in the President, as an element
of that board he had expected that
some could cry shame, that he dis
paraged or DETAINED the President, but
he considered that once men in Va.
cried shame on Patrick Henry, men
were not wanting in Rome to CRY
shame on Cato. They were no friends
ofliberty, who in Senates fear to oppose
Kansas, or Presidents. He went on to
speak of the bill under the aspect OF
compromise, saying it offered very little
freedom and a great deal of slavery.
Here Mr.. Bigler ANNOUNCED that the
bill had passed the House. Considers
BILE sensation was manifested in the
galleries and on the floor.
Mr.. Seward resumed, saying that the
announcement caused him no discour

The following anecdote is related of
Hon. Governor Kent, of Maine, our for
mer Consul at Rio Janciro;a man of rare,
quaint wit, and very sly, quiet humor.
The reader will wonder, perhaps, what
Their is droIl about it, but it will make
him laugh notwithstanding 1t is hot
unlike that drollery embodied in Lambs
story of the man who was carrying an
English hare under his arm, and was
asked, is that your oicn hare, or wig.
The Governor was going on steam
boat from Portland to Bangor and he
noticed q collection of people on the
promenade deck, gathered round a tall
man who was talking in very animated
manner, swinging his arms, and other
wise gesticulating with great violence.
Every now and then the listeners would
pair off from the circle about him, and eX-
press the utmost apparent surprise at
what they had heard. L
Presently a by stander came up to Gov
Kent, who was reading q newspaper at
She 1a2ment; and said: H.
Governor, who is that all man talk
ing in that crowd? ] never heard any
thing like it in my liie-neverl He says
he don't believe there's a heaven, nor he
don't believe there's hell. nor he don t
believe there's any hereafter. What is
he? He is an atheist, isn't he p
The Governor rose up, that he might
see him more clearly, and replied
oh, no-he's Druggist; he lives not
very far from where live when I'm at
home =
The man looked at the Governor for a
moment--'smclt the Joke, and felt the
queer pun-burst iuto loud gufiaw,
and turned away.
