OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence Of the rress and T1ibuua.}
WAsulxo7oa, Mach - ls6o.
In the House to-day, quite diversion was
created BY the introduction, during the call Of
States, Of resolution by Harrison G. Bakc, Of
Ohio, of resolution instructing the Committee
On the Judiciary to inquire into tho expediency
Of freeing every human beng and abolishing
slavery wherever Congress had the control OF
it. This resolution IVES offered as counter
check to resolution offered by Mcqueen, Of
South Carolina, short time previous. in regard
to what that exceedingly brainy nu1litier calls
the white slavery among the laborers Of Lynn,
massachusetts. As soon as It vas known |
among the Fire-ealcrs what was the character |
Of Mr. Dlake's resolution, they were all alive. |
keitt, who has been actually "spiling for |
uuss" ever since the termination Of the chaos |
Of disorganization left him with.'ut an occupa !
tion, commenced running up and down the |
aisles, strokiug his beard with the keen satis' |
faction Of The difficulty which he scented, as
does the war horse, afur of" Pryor, who
has Of late sat mute as 4 church mouse, with
his arms folded, aud presenting the most classic
attitude to the ladies' in the galleries, was in o
moment all animation and flushed with excite
mcnt. Singleton, who hasn't had m occasion,
in long while, to tell how easily Mississippi
could whip all creation, used his long legs with
unwonscd rinhleuess. Pugh, Of Alabama, stern
usually rs the Putitans hc loves to abuse,
erincel that dcligh, in tile fact that the slavery
question was being ag;tated which made the
1eign Of Jim Allen ono Of "dtscord" 80 sweet
10 him. Garnet, Of Virginia, woke from his
slumbc1s; and, in word, those nultiicrs *ho
never have word to say, unless It is to as't2tf
the s!aEcry question, were smoked out by this
resolution, and were st once IN their congen1al
element. Nr. Blake had introduced it for re-
ference merely; but the nulitiers we're
not going to let such IN opportunity of
agitation pass without improving it, SO they
insisted upon putting the resolution upon its
passage, and demanding the yeas and nays.
| Well, they had them, and large majority Of
| the Republicans voted for it, though think as
| large majority would hare condemned its in
| PRODUCTION under the circums tances. So the
| Southern members, by their determination to
] drag before the House and the country reso!u-
tion which would hare slept quietly in the pig
| con holos of the Committee to which it would
properly hare been referred, hare added one
more item to the testimony which the history
Of the times is bearing to the truth that there is
IN "irrepressible conflict between freedom
aud slavery. Mind you, no. Republican-not
ereu the moyer-called up this resolution for
action upon by the House that action was
| forced by The disnniouists. So apparent wassit
where the agitation came from this time, that
John Cochrsue and other Northern Democrats
fought desperately to prevent rote being
taken, for they saw 1t would not be made
party measure, and hence could not be used
against the Republicans. But catch nSouthern
Democrat missing m opportunity to agitate the
slavery question, and you will ca.ch weasel
sleeping sound!y.
