These propositions did not appear to
meet the views of sundry politicians, tha
extreme southern men, such as Tyler, Hun
ter and Mason from Virginia, siding with
the extreme republicans in condemning
them. In this emergency, Mr.. Corwin's
amendment to the constitution was re con-
sidered in the House on Friday last and
adopted by more than two-t thirds vote,
Mr.. Hale and most Of the Pennsylvania
delegation voting for it. It is as follows ::
JOINT RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION
OF TIE UNITED STATES.
Ec 1t Resolced, By the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled two thirds
of both Houses concurring, that the following
article be proposed to the Legislatures of the
several States as an amendment to the Con-
sttution of the United States, which, when
ratified by three fourths Of said Legislatures,
shall be valid to all intents and purposes as
part of the said Constitution, viz
Article NIL That no amendment shall
be made to the Constitution which will author
lze or give Congress power to abolish or in,
terfere, within any State, with the domestic
institutions thereip, including that of persons
held to labor or servitude by the laws of said
State"
The result was greeted with tremendous
applause on both the Republican and Dem
ocratic sides and from the galleries
The Senate continued in session on Sat
urday and Sunday and until daylight on
Monday morning, and finally ad5p;2d the
joint resolution passed in the House by a
vote of yeas II, nays y. 1t will now re-
quire the action Of the various Legislatures
of the States, though we believe far bet
ter plan would be to submit the question
to the people directly. In this State we
believe the proposition would be supported
by nine -tenths of the entire vote.
CosTAR'S RAT EXTERMlNATOR.--W
had occasion week or two ago to use this
remedy, and since then have not rat about
the house. Its effect was like magic, and
we therefore confidently recommend it to
our readers who are annoyed with these
pests as preferable to arsenic or anything
else heretofore used. A box contains suf-
ficient to drive away or kill hundrds. For
