Senate on the proposition to appropriate money for
the education of the poor children of the District OF
Columbia. OF course the abolition Senators wanted
the wsrd 'hlack' as we'll rs white inserted in the

"ngger' is dragged into every measure, and every
recurrence Of the hateful topic ought more aud more

Ds5S~ The Jefersonian does not attempt to contro-
vert the facts we adduced to show that Congress
has habtualy legisated for the Territories, and
even on the slavery question, but dismisses the
whole subject by saying that if Congress has done
wrong it is no reason that it should do again. He
does not show, however in what way Congress has
done wrong in carrying out the provisions of the
Constitution and in failing to do either of the afore-
mentioned things, he surrenders the whole ground
and admits all we claim.

The Covode Investigation is daily bringing forth

an attempt being made TO impeach the President.
There have been but three attempted IMPEACHMENT
cases since the formation Of the government, and
one Of them--whiehis reed,upon as a precedent to
govern action IN all future cases-is The one in which
John Randolph was the chairman of the House
Committee. In that case, like the present Covodc
Investigating Committee, there was preliminary
examination in reference TO tie finding Of proba-
ble cause for Impeachment, and, when the commit
tee satisfied themselves that there was cause for inn
peachment. they came into the House and asked for
authority to proceed in the case, with view Ia
frame articles TO be presented at the
bar of the Senate
7 understand that this precedent, notwithstanding
the puce protest Of the President win be followed
by Mr.. Cevodes Committee, and, after the examina-
ton of two or three witnesses the case will come
before the House TO ask for power TO investigate
with reference to the presenment of formal charges
at the bar Of the Senate against the President.
! When the House decides that articles of impeach.
ment shall be preferred, then the jurisdiction Il
changed from the Special Committee to the Com.
mittee on the Judiciary, Of which Mr.. Hickman i.

10y The New Orleans Crescent thinks Pryors
friends did right in rejecting the terms proposed by
Potter and says the latter might as well have pro-
posed dose Of strichnine for each. We have no
acquaintance with the--faseley calledcode ofhoaor
but have heard of duels fought with swords musk
cts and Bowie knives and have heard, too that the
challenged party has choice Of weapons. If this be
So the challenger should consider this point before
he sends the cartel but having sent it, has right
TO refuse the combat because the weapons do not
happen to please him To dodge behind construc-
ton of the code, may well subject man to a sus-
pcion Of cowarlce and to plead ususge as autbori-
ty for such dodge viii not do in the face of mum
.berless precedents.
But dueug is in open violation of common
sense humanity, and morality and TO plead hOno'
as the pretext for It, is to do violence to the mean
ing of the term, which sanctions no ndecorous anC
insulting language that may provoke bloody arbi
triment, aud demands no blood the price Of sucl
language except it be drawn by the weapons with
which nature has provided US. IF man is so deep
ly injured to desire TO take the life of the wrong
doer, he is fool to give him an equal chance, bu
IT, not wronged to that extent, he deliberately risk
his own life and attempts that ofanother he is eth
er a bloodthrsty brute or trucking slave TO
public opinion based upon the barbdrism of pas
ages; and Pryor's friends would have consulted hi
honor more effcctually by preventing him from
sending the challenge than by refusing the term
OF the challenged party.
The Crescent farther says, in justification of Pry
or, that it is hard for southern member of Con
gress to listen to- without rcsentiug language {
northern members. There are two sides to thi
question The system of bullying, on the floor q
Congress, was iuauguroted by southern democrats
ard has been persisted in with culpabe pcrtinacitl
If they knew, or believed that northerners are OF
posed to the bloody code, their conduct raises ii
well founded suspicion that they used insultin
language because they thought they could do
with impunity. But whether they thought so
not they have right to complain that their bull,
ing has provoked retaliation. Pryor has paid bl
little regard to the feelings of his opponents, sin,
he has been in Congress, and has gained but lit
honor by the course he has pursued, and we hol
the Potter affair will be a salutary lesson to him.

neg- senator poolitle. IN hIs gpeech On th.


Bey~ Senator Doolittle, in his speech on the
Homestead bin said
"Mr. President support this measure because,
opening our Territories TO free white men will in
my opinion, tend to prevent their Authorization
through the introduction of negro slaves aud thus
secure, in the end, what believe God in His prov-
dence intended, that the temperate regions under
our control shall become the permanent homes Of
the pure Caucasian race"
This reveals the whole secret, and the southern
man who supports this measure avows his willing
mess to dvest the South of its share of the public
lands and deed il to those who are to be the means
ofeXcudng southern men, with their property, from
the Territories Senator Nicholson has so far svow-
ed his coincidence with this view of the subject by
declaring that the Territories are already closed
against slavery, and therefore the homestead can
make no difference-which is equivalent to saying
that, if the Territories were not so closed, IL would
make difference This is a clear surrender Of
southern rights and the less clear because OF
tended with provso Andy johnson has shown
his opposition to slavery by his white basis scheme
and now confirms it by adhering to the homestead
in the face ofabolion avow ais that il is measure
Of freedom. II these two men truly represent the
democracy of Tennessee, the party may consistently
vote for Douglass or Seward, and can not consis-
tcntly support any true southern man.
