exist He referred to former period Of
our history to show that Mr. Monroe, Pres
ident, and Messrs. Jno. Quincy Adams
Crawford, Calhoun and Southland all agreed
that Congress has the power to exclude
slavery from the Territories. He also al
luded to the judicial history Of the country
to show that the position of the Republicans
was consistent Herewith. Their principles
on that subject were the same as those Of
the old whig party. Mr.. Calhoun had
emphatically said that the doctrine of that
Congress could nor legislate on the sub.
Ject of slavery in the Territories was absurd
and contrary to the practice of the govern,
ment from IFS foundation to the present
time.
MI. Winslow and Mr.. Corwin, expressing
willingness to yield the floor, moved that
House proceed to vote for Speaker visa
voce.
Mr.. Hickman and others on the Repub.
lican side objected.
Mr.. Corw;n resumed reviewing the his
tory of Ohio Democracy of 1858, who in
resolutions declared that they looked on
institution cf slavery as unfavorable to the
full development of free institutions, and
entertaining those sentiments said they
would be direlect to duty if they did not
prevent its increase, and mitigate and final
ly eradicate it. The Democracy of Ohio
in ls4s held these doctrines going farther
than the Wings, but in that year the Dem,
ocratic patty were carried captive to Baby
Ion. Zachary Taylor was elected Presi
dent. The Democrats hung their harps on
the willows and mourned for the slain of
the daughters of their people, while up TO
1858 they maintained that slavery might
be restricted. The Democracy may sud
suddenly wake up and say slavery is very
good and will develop the resources of the
country. He referred to these things 70

tion as TO slavery must be tried hereafter;
the House is organized if this shall ever
take place. If Southern gentlemen an
nounce as they have, that this Union shall
be dissolved; ic the North elect President
of the,r choice, we shall then see where
the treason lies.

TRUTH Doth NEVER DIE.

Though Kingdoms, states, and empires fall,
And sdynaties decay;
Though cities crumble into dust,
And nations die away;
Though gorgesustow and palaces
In heaps of runs lie,
Which were once the proudest of the proud
- The truth doth never diel
Well mourn not Ger the silent past.
It's glories are not fed:
Although its men of high renoun
Be numbered with the dead.
We grieve not Ger what earth has lost,
1t cannot claim sigh:
For the wrong alone hath perished-
The Truth doth never die.
An the Past is living still
All that is good and true;
The rest hath perished, and did
Deserve to perish, tool
The world rolls ever round and round,
And time rolls ever by,
And the wrong is ever rooted up
But the Truth doth never diel

Give Me Back MY Husband.

Not many years since, young married
couple from the far "fast-anchored isle, n
sought for our shores with the most san
guine anticipations of prosperity and sue
cess. They began to realize more than
they had seen in the vision of hope, when
in an evil hour, the husband was tempted
to "look upon the wine it was red," and
swhen it gave its color in the cup" The
cbarmer fastened around its victim all the
serpent spells of its sorcery, and he fell; I;
and at every step of bis rapid degradation
from the man to the brute, and downward,
heart-stling broke in the bosom of his
companioe.
Finally, with the last spark of hope fit
tering on the alter of her heart, she threads
her way into one of those shambles, where
man is made such a things as the beasts
of the field would below at. She pressed
her way through the baccbanalian crowd
who were reveliDg in her own ruin. With
her bosom full "of that perilous stuff that
preys upon the heart," she stood before
the panderer of her husbands destiny, and
exclaimed in tones of startling anguish
"Give me back by husband!" Their is
your husband" said the man as be pointed
to the PROSTATE wretch. sThat my hus-
band? What have you done TO himi-
That my husband! What have you done
to that noble form, that once like giant

Churning NIiIlz.


Fps. PRAIRIE FARMER One of your
correspondents asks for information In this
matter of chuming milk. A successful n.
York dairylnan gave me instructions sew
eral years ago, which | have followed sue
cessfully, and know whereof | write
First, clean cellar is important-is essen
tial It should be thoroughly cleaned in
the spring and whitewashed. This is i'm
portant, especially if vegetables have been
stored in it during the winter. The air Of
a dairy cellar must be pure.
The milk should not stand too long be-
fore churriing. In hot weather it is liable
to become too sour, and the butter viii
sou, and in cold weather it is liable to be-
come, bitter. 1t may be prevented from
becoming bitter in cold weather, by putting
one quart Of buttermilk in the tub into
which it is thawed. ] churn as soon as
the milk has reached the proper temperature
900 or TOO. The milk should be diluted
with water, then churned, in order to M
crease or rather to cure the butter product.
1t does not pay to be in any haste
in chuning. Il requires, to do It as It
should be done, from one to two hours
and half 1t is an important point in
churning milk that time enough be devoted
to the process.

Pembroke used to say, ! do not follow the

Legislative.

In the House this morning, there was
some debate in regard to final adjourn
meut. There does not seem to be much
prospect Of an adjournment prior to the Isl
of April.
A very remarkable, unprecedented, but
praiseworthy circumstance Of the forenoon
session, was the tabling Of the blu to restore
the DEATH penalty, without word Of de-
bate. We have no reference to the policy
Of the bill, but solely to the abstinence from
debate en- the subject. 1t IS the first leg
islatiyo body we have ever seen, in which
the subject was preached, where the text
in Genesis" Whose sheddethman's blood
&c, was not copiously dilated and diluted
upon.
The La Faygtte and Iowa County Seat
bills were both remorselessly decapitated
by striking out their enating clauses, and
then drawn and quartered beyond hope Of
reviyifcation at this session, by the reiec-
ton of a motion reconsidering the vote
striking out.
Tn the Senate, the vote by which the
bin repeating the act authorizing the ar-
pointment Of agents to watch the timber
on the State lands, was passed yesterday,
was re-considered
Mr.. Wheeler, Of Rock, introduced an
important bill on the subject Of usury in
the Assembly to-day. It reduces the legal
rate of interest from taCelpe to screen per
cent. The penalty for usury remains the
same as at present, with the further proyis-
ion that creditors Of persons or corpora
tons paying usurious interest may garnl-
shee the usurer and recover the amount OF
the 7 3nalty.
This bill will test the sense Of the legis-
lature in regard to the policy of inviting
eastern capital temporarily into the State
by offering high rates Of interest.

SMALL MEANs.--Ihe power Of money
is Oh the whole overestimated. The great
est things which have hoeHdone for theworld
have not been accomplished by rich men,
or by subscription lists, bat BY men gener-

ity was propagated over half the world by
men of the poorest class and the greatest

Of them little raised above the condition Of

Riches arc oftener an impeachment than a
stimulus to action; and in many cases they
are quite as much misfortune IS a bles-

apt to have life made too easy for him, and
he soon grows stated with it, because be has
nothing left to desire. Having no special
tobject to struggle for, he finds time hang
heavy on his hands; he remains morally
and spiritually asleep; and his position in
society Is often no higher than that Of a

Nor can Irefrain from insisting on the

one Of the most needed reforms in our ag-
rieultural economy. We Americans, as a
people, do less TO render our homes attract
I've than any other people Of equal means
on earth. And for this there is very much
excuse. We are "roIdng stones' which
have not vet found time 60 gather any very

Western Europe to theshores Of the Pacific,
and have halted, from tinie 70 time, by the
way, but not yet settled. That sacred and
tender attachment to Home which peryades
all other human breasts, has but slender
hold upon Us. There are not many Of us
who would not sell the house over his own
head If he were offered good price for it.
Not one-fourth Of us now ike in the houses
In vhichwe were born; not half Of us con
fidently expect to die in the homes we nov
occupy. Hence we cannot be expected to
plant trees, and train vines, and set flower

PLArrEvttLE, WIs.-The Witness Of this
week, makes the following note Of Platte
vile public enterprise:
The village authorities of Platteyille, du-
nng the past summer and fall, have built
5000 feet, running measure, of walks.
To lay this, $4,000 feet of lumber had to
be purchased, which cost 1872, or $l2 per
thousand feet. To this amount add the
sum Of about $3.50 for putting them down,
and it is seen in the last eight months
1852 have been expended for sidewalks
alone. Pretty well, we think, for a village
like Platteville.
