=. The Charleston correspondent Of tho N ?.
Ees'.sag fbes relates the following:
Upwards Of five weeks ago there came to
Charleston = young fellow, leatenkthly repre-
sentng mercantile firm on! the other side of
age which might accrue to t. from free trade.
He put up at one of the two principal hotels,

newspaper, obtained admission to that portion
OF society which is accessible to Strangers; I
course, the third time on the stand, to which
only subscribers and accredited strangers are
admitted. On the fourth day, however, be did
not appear, nor, on tbs conclusion Of the
races, at the hotel where he had been hidden
to special dinner, tpartaken Of by one Of our
racing magnates, an editor, the artist afore-
said, and others. It subsequently transpired
that our Britlsher. induced by filthy lucre, had
been lndiscreet enough to write certain letters
to Philadelphia newspaper, becoming In con-
sequence, subject: to the surveillance Of the
Vigilance Committee; that within an hour Of
dinner time he had been waited npon by an IL
diytdua1 member Of It, who advised his imme-
dlate departure for the North. Asserting hls
Innocence, the Engllshnan obtained this grace,
that # within specified number of days he
could clear himself Of the charge, he might re-
main, during which interim, however, the
V1gilant insisted on his Punishment from
Charleston. He started, therefore, at once for
:Columbia, and 1t Is to be presumed that he e1-
perfenced some difficulty In procuring the re-
quired vouchers, for he never returned. He
went off 80 hastily, indeed, a to leave bis bag

TIE DANGER PASSED.

THE DANGER PAESED.
Let the Earth be g1ad| Congress has
adjourned without adopting any degrading
compromise. It has come to its legal end;
it hns reached it's prime conclusion it is
.tf.nctus e5Ic:o; and the grand old Consti-
tuition is unspotted with pro-slavery amend
mentsi Let the hundreds Of thousands
who have nightly gone to their rest
grooming lest the morrow should bring
tidings Of their everlasting disgrace---lest
their representatives at Washington should
cowardly barter away the principles they
were elected to uphold heart again.
for TIE DANGER s PASSED. Manhood still
has its seat in the nations councils The en-
during principles Of republican freedom
arc yet craven on the peoples Constitu-
ton. Verify the gates Of he'll shall not
prevail against it. Now can We o11ef inc
tribute Of feryent gratitude to the hepuo-
1icans Of the XXXV3th Congress. Here
and there a 1ew have fallen by the way
side. Every storm has its little wrecks
every furnace yields its quota of dross--
every battle uncovers 8 few towards and
traitors. But the army has been brave and
loyal A1anfnlly have they stood up for
their principles, and nanfu1ly have they
won the victory.
Yet while weaccord to them the need OF
praise, fairly earned, posterity will wonder
why the day was ever doubtful Through
the long and painful contest there has been
but one question Of vital moment: Shall
slavery be legalized in the Tezritoriess :
8haH Tie Consultation .:eeog7ise property in
man. The American people, by q majority
Of two and half millions, have decided at
the ballot boz TINT slavery shall not be
go legalized-that the Constitution
shall not 80 recognize property in
man. Why, then, was any controversy
raised about it, after the peoples verdict
had been given? Why was the question
for 8 moment entertained by Congress
Why did not Remembers indignantly kick
it tout of doors? Was ever SO direct an IN
suit thrust upon the country? Questions
like these will fill the mind ofeyery reader
Of American history when the volume o1
1861 is closed. Let it be recorded, never
tAeless, that those who watched and wait
ed upon The doings Of this Congress, felt an
enormous load removed from their hearts
when It was known that they did not alb
soluteIy rererso the just decision Of the
people. Let it be recorded thai
enormous efforts were made, By threats
and promises Of disunion ami
and bloodshed, promises Of powe'
and prolific break down the righteou
verdict and to engra1t the curse OF huma1
bondage upon our fundamental law: LIE
it be recorded, too, as We now joyfu1ly re

feated and its advocates put to shame
Now let us once more have GovEREAEE'

their seats at thaext1a session, to commence
March 4th, will be paired by m equal def-
cheney on the Democratic side, as tie succes.:
sors Of Mr.. Green, Of Missouri, and Mr.. Gwin,

great advantage Of the casting vote Of Vice
