Legislative Proceedings.

GN- In looking over the reports o.
legislative proceedings, contained in The
Daily State Register, we find little to Gull
that would be of interest to our readers
Most of the proceedings in the House
have been in committee of the whole on
the Land Grant Resumption bill, which,
as will be seen by the letter of our cor
respondent, passed that body by decd-
ed majority. Very few bills thus far
have been passed, and those mostly of a
local character Numberless bills and
resolutions have been presented, and more
or less acted upon. They are in various
stages of progress, but few, however, ad-
vanced TO a third reading.
The Senate refused by vote Of 2l to
l 6 to refer petition for the abolition Of
the death penalty to select committee,
and to instruct the committee to bring in
a bill in accordance with the prayer Of
the petitioners. A resolution for join,
committee to examine into the affairs Of
the Insane Asylum has passed. and Mes
sers Patterson, Udell and Anderson, on
the part of the Senate, and Messrs. Mer.
rill, Taylor, Bemis and Hall, on the part
of the House, were appointed said Com
mi;tee. The Senate passed bill relating
to the navigability Of the Des Moines riv-
er, declaring it, we presume, navigable
to Fort Dodge. Mr.. Hastings presented
a petition Of the citizens of independence,
Buchanan county, asking for more
stringent prohibitory liquor law, which
was referred to select committee.
The House has occupied good deal
of time in discussing bill providing
for the redemption of land sold under
mortgages. The vote upon amendments
indicate that the bill will pass, al
though much doubt of its constitutional
lily is expressed. Mr. Bemis has intro
duced bill relative to the duties Of Coun-
ty Surveyors.

Foreign News.

@ By the arrival of the steamship
Arabia, at New York, on the 18th, we
have later news from Europe, which in a
political sense, is important. The pro-
ject of European Congress is abandon
ed, and England and France have come
TO perfect understanding relative to
Italian affairs. The policy adopted is to
allow the people of Italy TO regulate
their own affairs, permitting no foreign
interference from any source. This is
equivalent to a total overthrow Of the
temporal power of the Pope, who blndly
refuses to make any concessions to the
demands of the people, and who is inca
pable of controlling the universal move
ment towards consolidated government,
under the King of Sardinia. Austria
involved in serious difficulties, is inca
pable of lending the Pope assistance,
and has put ash de her sword. The MAJ
zini party is said to be active at Rome,
and as the French troops are to be early
Withdrawn from Northern Italy and from
Rome, revolutionary demonstrations may
be expected. An affray occurred at An
coma between the Papal Chasseurs and
artllerymen on the one side and gen
darmes on the other, $40 of the former
were said to be under arrest, of whom 40
were wounded Austria is said to be
almost totally bankrupt. and her provin-
ces are in condition of semi-revolt.-
Hungary will detach herself on the first
opportunity. Kossuth had suddenly
disappeared from London, and, it was
thought had gone TO Hungary. The
Croats and Sclaves were also restless, and
the dismemberment Of Austria is con
sidered not improbable.
Spain seems to be gradually making
Roadway against Morocco, although as
yet no decisive battle has been fought.
The Moorish regular army, numbering
sixty thousand, has not yet been brought
out. They are trying to draw the Span
iards into the interior

EF- Rev. Dl. RICE, of Chicago, dis
linguished divine of the Old School
Presbyterian Church. has delivered two
discourses, recently, upon slavery, in
which he lays down eight propositions,
briefly as follows; LIST, He holds to the
unity of the human race. Cd, The COM
mand to love thy neighborapplies as fully
to the African as to any other people, and
he would not buy or hold man as a
slave unless circumstances were such that
he would justify the same man in doing
the same to himself, were their relative
positions changed Sd, Slavery is not a
Divine institution, nor does the Bible
sanction Slavery. fit did, it would au-
thorize the strong, at any time, 10 en-
slave the weak. 4th, He denies the right
of any man to traffic in human beings for
gain. 5th, He denies the right of any
man to separate husbands and wives, pa
rents and children. The marriage of
slaves is as valid, in Gods law, as that of
their masters. 9th, He denies the right
of any man to withhold from his slave a
fair compensation for his labor. 7th,
He contends it is the duty of masters to
afford their slaves the opportunity to read
the word of God. 9th, He holds it TO
be the duty of those concerned with Sla-
very to elevate their slaves and prepare
them for freedom. The DR.. discusses
the practicability of immediate enamel
patton, and contends chat it is not feast
BILE. He also contends that circumstances
justify protesting Christians, for the time
being, in sustaining the relation of slave
holders, and that they cannot, on that
account, be rightfuly excluded from the
church of God, or denied church fellow
ship.
These discourses are perhaps less no.
hceable for their tone Of decided opposi-
ton to Slavery, than for the fact that this
most conservative and able divine, be-
longing to denomination which to a
large extent, and we do not know but al
most entirely, eschews the subject of sla-
yery-mammoth sin as it is-has come
to deem it proper subject of considera-
ton from Christian pulpit, on Chris
tan Sabbath. In the language of con-
tributor to the Christian FITNESS 1--WE
suppose if that eminent divine may preach
anti slavery discourses of the length Of
an hour and half each, on successive
Sabbaths, others less eminent may utter
their sentiments from the pulpit, without
mourning the charge of preaching poll
tics, or debating on themes to which
their hearers sustain no practical rela-
tons, even though they should differ
from him in their views. We think the
time about gone by when the discussion
OF this or any other great moral question
can be put down by these senseless cries
Recent and passing events are showing
pretty plainly whether we of the North
have anything 10 do with this subject"

Eg- The Charleston Mercury assails
Mr.. DOUGLASS new Slave Code for the
States, and pronounces it not only uncon-
stitutional, but dangerous. 1t says the
proposition would authorize the Federal
Government to pry into all assemblies of
the people in State-to set up a system
of espionage totally inconsistent with the
free exercise of their rights-and upon
suspicion or rumor, use the military OF
the United States against the people. 1t
marks the progress of the Federal Gov
eminent to consolidated despotism. No
one will deny the correctness Of the
Nereury's argument. Mr.. DOUGLAS S
bid will only have the tendency to alien
ate from him every sincere lover of the
doctrine of States Rights.
