arrayod themselves against u with deter
mined forco to prevent its passage. Such
scene Of confusion cannot describe
there is no other place but tho House Of
Representatives Of the United States tha,
can furnish counterpart TO il. By the
aid of the Anti-Lecompton members the
bill prevailed by o7 to 90. This puts the
Democratic party on the record; for by this
vote they show themselves to be in favor Of
slavery and the buying and selling Of men,
women and children who cannot provo
themselves to be free.
Mr. Grow, from the Committee on Ter
ritories introduced bill establishing the
Territory Of Idaho, on which a scene was
enacted which made me tremble for the
consequences. Mr.. Morris, (Dem.) of Ill.,,
made use of some disrespectful language to
his colleague, Mr.. Kellogg, (Rep.) Of ILL.,
Mr.. Kellogg retorted very warmly, with
stronger language; and for half minute
it seemed as il 200 men were ready to do
any desperate deed. The din and confu-
sion was like a scene in a mad-house. The
Speaker raped loudly, 'orderl% wasshout.
ed by an hundred, and rush was made to
the central aisle. Order was soon restored
and motion was made 10 censnre Mr..
Morris, but il was afterwards Withdrawn
After some hour or moro of this confusion,
the further consideration Of the bill was
postponed until Saturday. The Tariff bill
was then again taken up; the House going
into Committee Of the Whole. The de-
bate was very interesting, and most of the
time very animated The friends of the
bill bad a majority of the House, and were
determined to bring it to a vote before ad-
journment. AT Z o'clock vote was had
and the Speaker announced its passage by
los to 81.
On Friday the bills from the Committee
on Territories to establish new Territories,
was up, eiciting much discussion. They
were all finally laid on the table. A rich
discussion ensued between Mr.. Gooch and
Ely Thayer of Mass, on bill of Thayer
to organize land districts. 1t is said to have
been the most amusing thing that has oc-
Cured during the Session, not excepting the
scalping of Barksdale. The floor and gal
leries were crowded, and at the conclusion
of Thayers remarks, Senator Douglas who
was present, went up to Thayer and con.
graduated him. Thayer's bill will, howcv-
er, meet the same fate of the other Terrific
rial bills, and 90 on the table.
In witnessing these discussions, must
+ say that there are no ADLER men on the fooI
thar the Ohio delegation. John Carey o.
our own district is most highly esteemed
He is called the father Of the House, and 8
! score of members from ali sections-Nortl
and South--have told me that if all mel
were as sensible and honest as John Carey
it would be a great blessing to the country
He is constant attendant upon business
and has never been absent from the House
E but two days during the session. Th'
labor is somewhat wearing upon him, anC
. regret to say that he will not again be I
candidate. He made a most capital speeel
the other day upon agricultural matters
it was listened to with great interest by th
whole House. will procure some copic
:. of it for circulation in our county.
