CosGaEss-Telegraphic dispatches via st. Louis,
are to Dec II, living reports Of proceedings in Con-
gress to Dec. o. The Slavery question had been
brought up again before the House of Representa-
tives on the Sth, and great confusion and uprsar had
ensaed. In relation 10 this the lila Of Jan. Sd says /:
The squabble in the House was evidently concert
ed, to prevent the Immediate triumph OF the Repub-
Leans, and all diversi-ies Of political trick and sub
terfuge were INDUCED in, almost yerging on riot and
personal violence. Little save elimination and re-
elimination was elected, and the better thinking
portion Of the community cannot fail but ponder over
the prospects of the political future, as indicated in
the prevalent spirit Of the inception of the first ses-
sion Of the Thirty-sixth Congress The Republicans
have concentrated their whole strength for, had
they the power, the second ballot would have been
had earlier and with q more positive result. Unless
some balm exists to heal the dissensions of person
rather than party, the prospects OF n speedy organ
ilation Of the House look gloomy indeed
In the Senate, q lengthy and by no means agree
able debate had consumed the time, in reference to
Mr.. Mason's (of Virginia) resolution of inquiry into
the Harper's Ferry foray, which, although not
characterized by undue violence of feeling, ultimate
" resolved itself into n regular, unadulterated
woolly-head, negro discussion, full of Kansas shrieks
and Virginian patriotism. How this inimical feeling,
North and Southsis to be quoted, and the Slavery
issue buried, agitates the patriotic OF both sections (;
and Philadelphia, with n view Of pouring Oil on the
troubled waters,'' has raised her voice and the
Unisn-saying cry, to admonish the would-be Solons
ut Washington. Certain il IS that such course he's
been rendered necessary, for the ill-advised action of
extreme fnctionisis and fanatics In the North, rela-
tive to the Brown outrage and his death, has raised
the excisezble passions of the ultra Southern men,
and o spirit of hostility stalks abroad
Such iE-feeling, coming, too, on the eve OF q Pres
idential election. is likely to fan the embers of politi-
cal strife into q blaze, volcanic in its ebuhtions,
which will light the lines OF sectional strife aud Will
stimulate fratricidal outrage The tendency of the
political circles fer the past three years has been to
narrow down all issues and centre on the Slavery
question IS the great rallying cry for partIsans. tx

re-opening of the slave trade by the Southrons- So
well has the game Of cross-purposes been played, 50
admirably have they succeeded in their schemes, that
the political horizon offers 10 relief save IN a decided
stand on what little Of the middle ground remaining
from the food Of violence which has so constantly
surged n its base, convulsing it from con6ne to con-

strife, to restore the sway OF reason and common
sense, by following the example Of the Philadelphians.

S~ESArK-TrumbulI, of Illinois. on the 9Th of De-
eember made q speech in defence Of the Republican
party.
He commended that the declaration Of Seward was
nothing more than the views expressed by Washing
ton and the Southern men in 1913.
He trusted that the deportation of the free negro
population from the country, might hereafter become
the creed of the Republican party.
In conclusion he said " I hope that it will be-
come the policy of the Republican party. | hope That
we may Join hands with the South, and instead Of
approaching each other, instead Of striving to create
misunderstanding in the different sections, that we
may come together as our fathers stood shoulder TO
shoulder, and establish our independence ut once,
that We may come together side by side as brothers,
adopting n policy which shall eventually rid US of
this Institution Of slavery, the only obstacle that
threatens our permanent prosperity"
