REPUBLICAN pERPIDY.

On Wednesday OF last week, the Republicans
ol the lower House in Congress revealed fth
--i-H-~s.'' 1IS'vJoy,d invTnoer rom III
noIs, an Abolitionist of the blackest hue, and Of
course Republican, introduced resolution
declaring ''It to be no part of soldiers duty to
aid in the arrest and return OF Fugitive Slaves
TO their masters" Thus resolution was passed
by vote of 80 to So. What utter adherence,
must every Union loving man feel against such
a proceeding as this, in our National Congress.
The introduction at such time as this, OF that
Heaven-cursed question OF African slavery, de-
serves not only the just indignation of every
lover of his country, but the author OF such
measure, with those who sustained i, de-
serves TO be driven from our National Councils
1t Is nothing more than secret blow, directed
by cowaTdly enemy, against the carrying out
OF the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law. It
shows the true feeling of the radical Republi-
can element, and also, that they still cling to
their beloved dogma, the destruction of slavery
in the South. Even supposlug that the above
resolution was in consoDance with justice and
might, the throwing this freband of contention
at this time between the North and South,
should be regarded with condemnation. Moth
ing could have greater tendency to disafect
those citizens of the South who are now loyal
than such move as the above.-Juniata True

What is the Senate Doing.

adjourned" Such is the invariabIe CONCLUSION
of the daily report of the Senate proceedings.
What is done In these Executive sessions
Are they devoted quietly to the con6Emat ion
of the app ointments of unqualified civilians
mere local poli:ions-to the command of
companies, regiments, brigades and divisions
in the regular army Is It under cover
Of such brief reports that the SANDERsoNs,
PETRaKENs, and others OF that ilk, of Pennsyk
vania, and similar military incomPetants ia
other States, are to be fastened upon the army
during this war, and perhaps for life ! The
universal uprising OF the people against
this style of appointments should com
mand respect from the Senate. and the people
and the Press should make their voices heard
once more, or, before they are aware of it, the
whole list of Objectionable men will be confr-
med IN these short Executive sessions" that
look so harmless IN the congressional Reports.
