THE LAST LESSON AND RS DUTIES.

Iiib LAST llSclN AND IFS DUTIES
SO this is our lesson that God rules
in the affairs of men, and will be recog-
nized in those affairs The quick and
tractable have already learned this les
son. The dull are learning it, andnow
when the impression is at its height,
comes the temptation to forget and
slight it. The presidential canvass is
beginning. Is it TO be pursued in the
old way? Are we to have only the old
struggle between the ms and the outs
Are we to have only the old game for
power and plumber? VIII the nation
still consent to be made the tool Of de-
signing partisans, and turn its back on
the duties which God has been teach
ing it with such terrible cost to itself
of treasure and of blood? Is all this
pain to go for nothing? The blood OF
a hundred thousand noble men cries
from the ground to doprecate so terri
be a miscarriage Of sacrifice. We con-
fess to feeling sadder than horror,
and more sickening than disgust, when
we survey the selfish schems Of politi-
clans and plunderers who, forgetful Of
the war, or only careful how they can
make it contribute to their personal adj
vantage, drive their corrupt bargains
as Of yore, and turn the very temple of
our liberties into a den of thieves
Now is the time for Christian ma
ton that has received the most en-
! phatic lesson that God ever gave any
nation, to begin to live and net as it
ought to- Now is the time to assert
that availability is not the highest
/ qualification of q presidential candi-
date. Now is the time to ask the ques-
ton, not whether man is brilliant,
courtly, great or available but
whether he fears God, and loves the
nation better than himself This ma
ton would deserve destruction in its
most terrible form ii, utter so plain q
/ lesson as it has received it should de-
iberately lose itself in political strife
or lend itself to the schemes of those
who have only selfish ends to secure
We believe that the national confidence
is bestowed in the proper quarter, anc
that there is but little sympathy Will
the factious movements that are in pro
gress among the politicians; but there
is danger that the tricks that have beer
SO successful in the past will prevail IL

CONGISIcsss-.

WASHINGTON, April 9Th. Tins has
been the most exciting day in the House
since the commencement of the war.
The Speaker called Mr. Rollins TO the
chair, and offered a resolution for tho
expulsion Of Alexander Long Of Ohio,
Ion the secession speech delivered by
him IN Committee OF the Whole yes
terdav, as in contravcnion Of his du-
ties MS a loyal citizen and his oath as
member of Congress, giving aid and
comfort to the rebels in arms against
the government
This led TO a most exciting debate
The attendance, both on the floor and
in the galleries, was larger than for
several weeks past, and the most in
tense interest was exhibited in the mat
ter
Most Of the democratic members
who took part in the debate, while dis
claiming the endorsement of the SEN
timents expressed by Mr.. Long, con-
tended that no member was properly
liable to expulsion for any thing spok-
en- in debate. Fernando Wood, how
ever, endorsed the sentiments of the
speech, and said if the House expelled
the gentleman from Ohio they could
expel him also.
The principle feature OF the debate,
however, was the extraordinary speech
OF Mr.. Harris of Maryland, who went
as much beyond what Mr.. Long had
said as that gentleman yesterday ex-
ceeded the reasonable utterances here
tofore INDUCED in by Mr.. Harris du-
ring the present session. So outra-
geous did he become in his denuncia-
tons Of the loyal people of the Unit
ed States, and of the efforts which
have been and are making for the
suppression of the rebellion, and in
his defence of the rebels and aspira-
tions for their success, that he was
called to order and permission re
fused him to proceed with his trea-
son.
BY unanimous consent the consider
alton of the resolution was finally
postponed until ? o'clock ON Monday
Mr. Washbmn of Illinois, then IN
troduced a resolution for the expul
sion Of Mr. Harris, which was not car
t ried, as in consequence of the wal
democrats voting against it there was
not a two-thirds vote in its favor.
r A resolution consuming Mr. Harris
introduced by Mr.. Schenck Of Ohio
was passed, only eighteen voting il
the negative.
+ The democrats voted in solid pha
lanx against Mr. Harris expulsion
Mr.. Bailey of Pennsylvania cast tn
t sole democratic vote for the expulsion
, Most of them, however, prompt
+ seized the opportunity to vote in fayo
e of the resolution Of censure.
The republican leaders are alread
{ talking of issuing the speeches Of Long
Harris and Wood as campaign docu
: ments for the ensuing Presidents
o election.
! 1t is said that number Of the dem
r ocratic members of the House met i
: an informal caucus, aud determined t
repudiate the rebel sympathizing sen
+ timents expressed by Mr., Long {
4 Ohio, and authorized Mr.. Cox to max
: the reputation in the House.
The talk of Mr.. Harris, of MARYLAND
0 however, was treason. He said, anon
y other things:

PENNSYLVANIA ToBAcco One farmer
in Lancaster county, in this State, has
sold the product of three and halt
acres planted with tobacco, for one
thousand dollars. This farming is
profitable. The crop in all that por-
ton OF the State has been large 1t is
now coming into market, and com
mands from thirteen to twenty cents q
pound. 1t viii be as profitable, prob
ably, or more so, the present year
The old stocks are not cleared out, but
they are reduced and held for larger
prices. The stock abroad, too, has
been decreasing, and none of the to
bacco raised in other countries has thus
far equalled the American. At tire,
hundred dollars an acre, there are few
crops more valuable than tobacco
This is about the rate realized in Ian
caster county. Those who have spare
lands which are adapted to it
growth can hardly plant more profta
