Real Backbone Talk in Con.
EReS9s

Owen Lo-eioy, of Illinois, was re-elect-
ed to Congress last fall in his district by a
large majority, and no marvel. He is one
of the able men Of the House, as well as
among the most independent and fearless.
He talks right out in the presence and to
the face of the would be masters, as the
reader of the following verbatim report of
recent discussion, taken from the Con-
gressional Globe, will be ready TO certify.
Mr.. Lovejoy.-I move to amend the
clause by striking out the words, "and for
the safe keeping of prisoners" under
stand tina, that means for the safe keeping
of fugitive slaves.
Mr.. John Cochrane.-Oh, no; there are
none in New York.
Mr.. Lovejoy.-This being my under
standing. l move to strike out the words.
l will not dwell now on the moral considera-
ton. pertinent 10 this matter. l do not
believe that the constitution confers on
this House the power of taxing me and
taxing my constituents to feed and clothe
and keep these fugitive slaves till their trial
comes on. If there is anything in the con-
stitution about it, it is that they are simply
allowed to be taken and carried back
And, sir, it is thing so utterly odious to
the people of the free States, SO utterly de-
grading, and so abhorrant to the feeling of
humanity, North and South, that | 90 for
adhering to the letter of the bond, giving
nothing more than the pound of fesh.-
That is all we can give; and we give that
reluctantly. If, therefore, 1 do not misap-
prehend the meaning of this clanse, trust
that it will be stricken out.
Mr.. Singleton.-The gentleman talks
about giving "the pound flesh" | would
bs very happy indeed, if the gentleman
would return the negro whom he helped to
steal away from one of my constituents.
Mr.. Lovejoy.-I thank the gentleman
for calling the attention of the Committee
to that matter. l never stole away any of
the genlleman's negroes-he never right
fully owned negro. Every human being
that God made belongs to himself against
the universe. And, sir, if this committee
wish TO know-as my attention has been
several times called to this, and as scurril-
Gus letters have been read here-whether
help fugitive slaves, march right up to
the confessional and tell them that do.
There is no human being, black or white,
that ever comes to my door and asks for
food when hungry, or shelter when house
less, but receives it; and if the invisible
spirit of slavery expects to cross my thres
hold and forbid me to feed the hungry or
shelter the houseless, | bid that demon de-
fiance in the name of my God.
Mr.. SINGLEroN.-I void like the gen
tleman to define what he calls sstcaling,"
if that be not stealing.
Mr.. Lovejoy.-Stealing is to take man
and keep him slave. "He that stealeth
a man and selleth him, or if he he found
in his hands, he shall surely be put to

I..,.,t News from Europe.

The tendency of the news from Europe,
by the Prince Albert steamer, which left
Galway on the 5th inst, is decidedly war
like. France appears resolved to have a
contest somewhere, and Italy may be the
battlefield. But it is ridiculous to sup
pose that Napoleon, despotic as be is-per-
haps as he is forced 10 be-in France, can
seriously entertain the slightest intention
of aiding the cause of Progress, of Liberty
in Italy. 1t has been limited that, as be
has two relations to provide for, he may
hope to settle them in Italy. Prince
Murat would be well content, no doubt, to
reign in Naples, as his father did during
the autocracy of the first Napoleon, and
if Austrian Italy could be erected into a
kingdom. as it was under tina Viceroyalty
of Eugene Beauharnais, whose gentle rule
is still gratefully and regretfully remember
ed in Milan, another cousin, Prince Ma
poleon, (son Of Jerome would be well con-
tent, in all probability, to accept its SOW
erignty.

Bill Repeating the Ten Per Cent
Law.

The bill which passed the General AS.
sembly, repeating the ten per cent. interest
law, was introduced in the Honse by Mr.
Hubbell, of Delaware land established seven
per cent. as the legal rate. On motion Of
Mr.. West, of Logan, this rate was stricken
out, and the bill then passed. Attempts
were made in the Senate to amend by in
serting the rate of eight per cent, and also
TO establish free trade in money, but with
out success. The bill as it finally passed,
and is now an act is as follows:
BILL TO REPEAL THE TEN PER CENT LAW,
PASSED MARCH, IA, 1850.
Sec. l. Bo it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the
act passed March IA, 1850, entitled San
Act 10 amend the Act entitled an Act, fix
ing the rate of interest, passed January II,
1924, and all other laws on the subject"
be and the same are hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect and
be in force from and after the 1st day of
April, 1859.
The following is the vote in the Senate
on the passage of the bill:
YEAs.-Messrs. Ashmun, Buckland, Cad
well, Garfield, Cantwell, Chapman, Catch,
Kincaid, Langdon, McCeary, McKelly,
Miles, Perkey, Perrill, Reid, Stafford, Smith,

NAYs-Mcssrs. Cass. Corwine, Gard,
Green Hatch, Henkle, Holloway, Morrow
Murdock, Phelps, Shidler, Schleich, Slade,

The effect of the repeal is to establish

BULBS Head.

Owing, in part, to short supply, but
much more to the operators for rise,"
the price of beefc this week has taken
start upward equal to one half cent to
full cent a pound. The number yarded at
Forty fourth street, yesterday, was 1893,
exclusively of the Harlem road, upon which
a train was expected, but bad not arrived
at sundown, with some two hundred head,
and few were expected from Bergen, in
all not much, if any exceeding 1000 head.
Our Albany report says the arrival there
the last week was only 1904, which was
752 head less than on the previous week,
and that the market was active, in conse-
quence of large number of New York
buyers, who anticipated a good market,
which they have realized. Two thirds Of
the stock at Albany changed hands, and
some of the droves were resold to sell
again after they arrived here. This will
account for the rise here to-day, more than
any scarcity, and on that account the ad-
vance must be looked upon with slight
degree of caution in the country. 1t IS
thought that if the weather on Tuesday
afternoon had not been warm and rainy,
the market would have shown full aver
ace advance of one cent pound. As 1t
was whole droves of first class cattle wero
selling at rates that indicated an average Of
II cents pound, and first buyers general
" declared that they had to pay l II cents.

A Book for EVERYBODY,

DIR. GUMS NEW DOMESTIC PHYSICIAN
OR HOME Book OF HEALrH.-This is a
work of sterling and practical value. Its
main object is to afford complete, judi
cious, and reliable description of diseases, 70,
those who may live at distance from a
doctor, or who may not wish to call him
in on every occasion of slight indispositlon
in the family. It contains vast amount
of not only interesting, but useful informa-
tion, written in plain, familiar, common
sense language, free from mystifying terms,
and useless references and quotations. 1t
tells you with exactness and precision, what
ails the patient; describes bis symptoms SC
as to enable You to fix his complaint, gives
you the best and most prudent remedies
that a practice of over forty years has af
forded.
DR.. GUMS extended reputation as safe,
judicious, and experienced practitioner, is
one of the hest guarantees of the correct
ness and utility of this work, it being the
matured product of all his study and prac-
tice. He is no bigot, but is willing to give
any remedy, from whatever school origin
ating, its due merit, if, from experience, it
has been found to be useful and safe in
every particular. He gives what he con-
siders for the good of every system, Alo-
pathy, Hydropathy, Homeopathy and Ec-
lecticism are each and all called upon to
furnish their portion of usefulness.
There is, besides the large number Of
descriptions of specific disorders, a vast
amount of general reading on clothing, ex-
ercise, preparation of food, &C., also, on the
Laws of Health, in general, besides = large
amount of miscellaneous reading, which
will be found interesting to all.
The work has to be seen and examined in
order 10 be fully appreciated. II contains
nearly one thousand pages, bound in strong
leather, and gotten up in elegant style,
and, in our opinion, cannot fail to meet
with the appreciation of every well-wisher
of community. 1t is meeting with the
greatest sale of any book ever published.
Give it a thorough examination when you
have an opportunity. An hour or more
cannot be spent to better advantage.

"secessionn in n new Quarter.

The shelving of the Pacific Railroad
(Gwin's) Bill, is the theme of very dole
full article in the Washington Union, of
Wednesday-the closing sentence of which
reads very much as if they had been penned
by Mr.. Gwin himself. We quote:
"The Pacific is no poor province, depen-
dent upon this government and Union. II
it is not wanted by these States, it can
provide for itselfa a separate eristence up
on the shores Of the great ocean that wil
be feh6y the nations ofMe earth. How
10. G will it submit to be snubbed and buff
feted like step-child remains to be seen.
The attachment of its people TO the Ameri-
cen name, government and flag, is very
strong-lhe affection of the daughter for
the mother; but in the nature Of things
there IS limit even to his. With the
plains of Mexico all before her, crying out
come and take me-with great separate
interests of her own, and absolute neglect
by the federal government, it is some
what hazardous game that our statesmen
are playing with the Pacific"
1 his Is DuL uu OruaIucHtdl NtTSiOu VI tuc
petulant remarks of Mr.. Gwin in the Sen
ate, following the defeat of his bill. If it
means anything at all, it means-if CALI
fornia cannot get what she wants, she will
leave the Union and form copartnership
with Mexico. This is arrant nonsense, and
we are quite certain it will nowhere be
more generally reprobated, as such, than in
the strong common-sense, as well as Union
loving State, which Mr.. Gwin, in part, rep
resentS.
The Pacific Railroad, as We said the
other day is not dead. 1t is only taking
a nap. 1t will waken up at the next ses-
siou,-and, in all human probability, the
result will be in accordance with the hopes
and expectations of our countrymen on the
Pacific. Meantime, we may add, nothing
is to be gained, but much may be lost, by
such silly intimations of General Quattle-
bum as the above.

TA gentleman who has recently spent
some time in Cuba writes to the New Or
leans Picayune that forty times the thirty
millions asked for by the President would
not much facilitate the purchase of Cuba,
under present circumstances. He doubts,
moreover, whether any portion of this
country, except the Northern commercial
States, is greatly interested in its acquisi-
ton, and that it would be injurious rather
than beneficial to the South. From his
own observation, moreover, he says he is
satisfied that, with the exception of Ameri-
can residents in Cuba, and exiles of politi-
cal malcontents in this country, the people
of the Island are decidedly opposed to an
nexation to the United States.

Washington Matt ers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.
Mr.. Slidell declared to-day that he is de-
termined to force the Cuba question to a
debate and million bill, he will move it as
an amendment to one of general appropri-
alton bills.
A paper was circulated in the House to-
day, calling conference on Wednesday oi
Democrats from all sections fdr general
interchange of views on the tariff ques-
ton. Pennsylvania and other Democrats
in the previous caucuses, will unite with
them.
A proposition was started to-day by Mr..
Taylor of La, to introduce a bill suspend
ing for two years the tariff of 1857, thus
reviving the tariff of ls46. A good many
Southern members heretofore opposed 10
any modification of the tariff, agreed to
this proposition Of Mr.. Taylor.
tits understood that the President will
veto the Agricultural College Bill.
