u Tint the Congress of the United States has
not been composed Of iire-eaters seeessionsls and
despos, can be established by referring to incidents
that have occurred during the debates upon impor-
tan questions before that body when the pro-slnycry
party was not in decided minority. This party dti-
ring the struggles in Kansas while they ascend
ant, enacted very stringent code for the protection
of their property. There was o movement made TO
repeal this territorial legislation which defeated
by Southern Representatives, the plea that Conf
gress had loug since rcnounced all interference WITH
slavery in the Territories. Had the Southern mem
bers been all irc-eateis and seeding reopen theA
ricnn-saye- men, then a good Opportunity
to show the spirit. The Democratic party is pledged
to resist ali attempts nj renewing in Congress or ont
of il, the agitation of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color, the attempt be mad.

obligations as husband, in providing for defend
ant all the nocesshrics and comforts OF life, and
treated her as q kind and afectionase husband.
That defendant was unicind and neglectful Of pc
titioner. and by Der conduct destroyed his peace

/ ton for petitioner by which he was rendered I'M
happy That defendants conduct was cruel and
