are won't to term them, to urge upon the nation

veution7 Northern people have so frequently
been advised of the harmony existing IN the
democratic party--the same North, South aud
everywhere that tho whole matter should be
scattered throughout the country in pomphlel
form. The people should see and read for them
selves, lf this s not done but few will be re-
freshed with the bold Iemonstrances Of Butler
and Pugh against the further progress of slavery
aggression, as involving the utter ruin of the
democracy Mt the north. Neither will they be-
favored with perusal of those "natona" pro

whole southern delegation. Al these things

The COvode Committee.

Dispatches from Washington state that
WendelIs checks 10 the amount of S925, 900
have been displayed before the Covode Com
mittee, and Wendell has been on the stand lie
acknowledged that he gave Bean, editor OF the
Democretic paper in Fremont Ohio $4,000 to
uid in carrying the Lecompton Bill, because he
learned that he had influence with the Ohio
Democratic delegation. Some of the checks
were payable to Senators, and some to members
OF the House. When Wendell was asked TO
state why he paid these checks to nembero OF
Congress, he declined answering. The Commit
tee will call him again, and will probably insist
upon an answer to the question.
Dr. Alvord was again before the Committee
and testified that he knew Of persons who were
aware OF rnuds and corruptions perpetrated in
the Detroit Post Office, but declined to state
who they were. He also testified that he was
aware that Scovile, one of the editors OF the
Detroit Free Press, received vi ,093. as locs
mail agent at Detroit, but he was not aware tina
he performed any other service than to edit the
Administration organ.

wing Of free negroes and their abduction from

Of piracy, according TO the South Carolina Judge.
But if the immigrants were slaves when taken
aboard, aud were obtained by purchase, barter
or any other mode of trpllic, the law OF 1890
can take no coguizance of the proceeding. In
