House Of Representatives abOlishing slave.

An act to secure freedom 70 I'll peFsOns within

To the end that freedom may be and remain

than In punishment 81 crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall henceforth
cease and be prohibited forever in all the ter
ritOriss Of the United States now existing or
hereafter W be formed or acquired id any way.
The vote was a strict party one, all the
Republicans voting for the bill, and all the
Democrats and conservatives, the venera-
BILE Crittenden among them, voting against
il. The "Union" members begged the
Republicans not to push matters to ex-
tremities-nOt to pass bill SO objection
able and obnoxious to the loyal men Of
the South, but their appeals were sneered
at and diSIegarded. Mr.. Cox, Democrat
Of Ohio, well defined the character Of this
measure in moving that its title be "An
act to carry out the Chicago Platform and
Dissolve the Union" To use the just
and fOrcible language Of the New Hamp-
shire Patriot, nothing could more clear
y AA'aAns'ns'e The paramount devotion Of
the Republican party to their Platform
than the passage Of this bill, and no meas

GooD.-Thc tax bill before Congress is
iocoSely termed by some one the poor
mans plaster" as it will draw from the
pockets Of those in moderate circum>tan-
ces, while land, cotton, and other valuable
sources Of revenue to the rich, are free.
Congress seems disposed to take care Of
the interests of two classes the rich and
the negroes. Congress desires to free the
blacks and send them into free States to
compete with the labor and reduce the
wages Of the labori1g white man. j, D'S''c
mat capitalists and-iarGe land holders may
make vast fortunes. Generous Republi-
caniSIn!

CouOHs.-The sudden changes Of our climate
are sources of PULMONARY, BRONCHIAL, and
ASTRMATIc AFFECTIONS. Experience having pro-
we'd that simple remedies often act speedily and

ABOLITION LOYALTY.-On the 18th ult,
in Congress, John A. Bingham, an Abo.
lition member Of Congress from Ohio, in
a debate on the tax bill, made use Of the
following reasonable language:
"Who, in the name of heaven, wants the
cotton States, or any other State this side of
perdlion, to remain in the Union, If slavery is
to contnue?"
That is just it with Abolitionists They
can spout treason to the Constitution and
the Union, and it is all right--none of
their patriotic colleagues rebuke them
the Secretary of State issues no order for
their arrest and Imprisonment If Demo-
Gratis cling to the Constitution as pro.
lection to their personal rights, they are
rebels. Respect for and adherence to it
is treason to the Administration. The
impudence Of Abolitionism never had
parallel. Is it not time for the people to
drive these traitors from the halls of Con-
gresSg ia Democrat had used such Ian
guage the whole Abolition pack would
have demanded his expulsion. Abolition
lists are privileged to say and do what
they please.

EFFECT OF ABOLITI0NIsM IN CONGRESs.
Whatever may be said of the alleged
policy Of the Administration in the pros.
ecution OF the war, however much its fol.
lowers may disclaim being Abolitionists'
it must be admitted that most Of the leg
islation OF Congress, and the general tenor
of the debates in the National Legisla-
ture, have been exceedingly irritating and
unfriendsy to the Border States. Indeed,
were it the avOWed desire of the radical
Republicans to drive every Border State
into the embrace Of the Southern Confcd-
eracy, n course better calculated to pro-
duce this result, and to establish perma-
nent disunion, could not have been re-
solved upon. 1t is q noticeable fact that
the Republicans have distracted the Union
sentiment Of Congress by introducing a
number Of bills Of strictly partisan char
acter, while the Democratic and conserv'
alive members have not introduced one.
While protesting to discard party, they
have int1exibIy adhered to it, and de-
nOunced every man as = traitor who re-
fused TO worship at their shrine. What
is the real feeling produced by their Alb
clifton sentiments and measures, NAV be
judged by the following extract from the
Henderson (Ky.,) WeekIS Nail, q rigor-
Gus and unconditional Union sheet Says
the NGiI:
ave think the tine of COSgvess eould be
mach better spent, at this time, than in the dis
