The Emperor Napoleon had made pacific

ton OF Mr.. Sherman, he would repeat the dec
laration of Mr.. Pugh. of alabama, let discord
reign here foreverl" He proceeded to Civ,
the HISTORY, origin, and progress, Of the present
aspect OF the slavery question, which prevents
the organization of the House.
In speaking of the constant aggreSsions of
the North, he said he would resist the inaugu-
ration OF Black Republican President, for, in
such an event, the rights of the people of the
South would be destroyed or seriously dam
aged. But the South know their rights under
the Constitution, and are resolved, at all haz.
ards, and at the last extremity, to maintain
them. The South have long enough been "the
hewers of wood aud the drawers of watern for
the North. He had no fears for the South.
Mr.. Corwin was called out by remark of
Mr.. Barksdale. He said he knew of no Re-
publican who would go so far as to say, that if
saveholding territory be acquired by treaty, as
in the case of Louisiana, and provision be
made therein that the people thus transferred
should be admitted into the Union, with all
their rights OF property which they then held,
he knew of no Republican who would say such
treaty was not the supreme law of the land,
and should not be carried into effect.
MT. DdrhSudle asked, was tnere q kepubl-
can who favors the acquisition of slaveholding
territory? He would like to ask whether Mr..
Sherman was in favor of such measure
Mr.. Curtis replied that, at this time, he would
be opposed to the acquisition of slaveholding
territory, because we had great deal too much
Of it now
The question, however, might arise, whether
we should require portion Of Mexico or Cuba ;
but the question does not now exist, and may
not be for a long period of time.
Mr.. Barksdale. The gentleman from Iowa is
not fit representative Of the Republican party.
Laughter.
Mr.. Curtis. l beg the gentleman not to read
me out of the Republican party. Laughter.
Mir. Barksdale. Let Mr.. Lovejoy speak. Let
him be put on the stand or Mr.. Dawes or Mr..
Hutchins, or Mr.. Gooch. will take Mr.. Tap
pan. Let him speak for the Republican party.
Some say elect Mr.. Hickman, but he can't
speak for any party. Laughter. Scared
and blistered as he is, l could not strike him.
The Republicans do not intend to vote for the
acquisition of any more slave territory.
They can elect you Ito Mr.. Corwin) Speaker,
but they refuse to do it, and you are hostile
enough to slavery, in all conscience. Laugh
ter.
Mr.. Corwin took the floor and spoke for some
time, amid the profound attention of the House
and the galleries. We shall not attempt to
give any sketch of his remarks here. Before
concluding his speech, he gave way to a mo-
ton to adjourn, which was carried-and he has
the floor for tomorrow.

TUESDAY IN CONGRESS.

In the Senate, Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia, made
a violent speech against what he termed the
aggressionS of the North. He reprobated the
personal liberty bills passed by some of the
Northern States, and said that while they ex.
listed there could be no peace. He regarded
the election of a Republican President as
just cause for dissolution of the Union, and
ridiculed those in the South who waited for
some overt act on the part of the Republi-
cans.

State from so much Of the remarks of Mr..
Toombs as concerned Connecticut. A running

Tom Brown at Oxford; q Sequel 10 School Days a.

'ished in monthly parts. Boston, TieknOr & Fields.
The author of this attractive work is already
50 popular with American readers, through the
pages of that charming book, "School Days
at Rugby" that the mere announcement of a
new work from his;pen is a sufficient advertise
ment. But we cannot refrain from the express
sion of our cordial approval of the two first
numbers Of Tom Brown at Oxford which
are all we have seen of the Forthcoming vol
ame \ brief extract which we give below
will convey a good idea OF the style and spirit
in which the author deals with = popular fall
lacy, too prevalent in this country as we'll Ga in
England.
" In all the wide range of accepted British
lnaxlms, there is none, take it for all IN all,
more thoroughly abominable than this one, as
TO the sowing Of wild oats. Look at it on
what side you will, and will defy you to make
anything but a devils maxim of it. What
man-be he young, old, or middle aged-sows,
that, and nothing else, shall be reap. The
only one thing to do with wild osts is to put
them carefully into the hottest part of the Ere,
and get them bursed to dust, every seed of
them. If you sow them, no matter in what
ground, they will come up, with long, tough
roots, like conci- grass, and luxuGient stalks
and leaves as sure as there is sun in heassp-
crop which it turns ones heart cold to think
OF. The Devil, too, whose special crop they
are, Will see that tbey thrive, and you, and no
BODY else, will have 60 reap them; and nc Gym
mon reaping will get them out of the SOIL
Which " must be dug down deep, again and again.
Well for you, if, with all your care, you can
make the ground sweet again to your dying
pay. Boys will be boys is not much better,
Out that has true side to it; but this encour-
Sgement to the sowing of wild oats is SIMPLY
oeVillsh, for 1t means that young man is to

LIBERAL JAPANEsE.-Prior to their depar t.
ure from the United States, the Japanese Am
basSadors rendered to Capt. Dupont, as Com
missioner especially detailed to attend upon
them, the sum of twenty thousand dollars,
to be distributed as a gratuity among the
policemen of Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
'delphia, and New York, in consideration Of
the attention received by the embassy at their
hands. Capt. Dupont felt obliged to decline
the offer, as he looked upon the Princes as
the nations guests, and felt that he was
representing the nation in so doing. The
ENJOYS, however, persisted in their deter
mination to make the present, and appeal ed
to Capt. Dupont, as "their personal friend"
to request Auguste Belmont, the son-in-law
of the late Commodore Perry, to oblige them
by distributing the twenty thousand dollars
among the policemen mentioned, according
to the duration of their stay and the Humer-
ical forcefh each city. Capt. Dupont accedes
to their request, and accordingly the police
men receive in Washington, for twenty-five
days, 160 men, $2,65O; Baltimore, one day,
400 men, $500; Philadelphia, seven days,

CARRYING WEAPoNs.-In the course of an
article on carrying deadly weapons, the Sac
Tamento News says:
at Will be noticed that persons having the
reputation of peaceable, law-abiding citi-
zens, are seldom or never known to carry
arms in self-defence. The practice is con-
fined to desperate characters, who live by
violence, or lot of 'gentlemanly' assassins,
whose motto, "Be ready with the pistol" !"
applies not only to the practice of dueling,
bat to the commonest relations of life. Doz-
ems of the latter stripe could doubtless be
pointed out every day in our streets, theeled'
for any emergency.
at is generally the case, that the man with
pistols and bowie-knives hung about his
person, has cowardly disposition, which
forbids him to meet his fellow-niar face to
face. There is a sneaking unfairness attach
ed to it, which, in England is regarded with
such horror, that in any public disturbance,
whoever ventures to display deadly weapon,
is spurned out of the crowd, and is lucky il
he escape public indignation without broken
bones"
