Malignity and Falsehood in Congress.
In the discussion on the bill comforting

Mr.. Lane declared that the Southern

Union until they conferred the right of

Their the President nor his cabinet had
anything to do with it. Here we have.
in epitome, the cowardly malignity of Sc
nator Lane and his party towards'the peo-
pie of the South.
Mr. Wilson of Massachusetts said that
s'as soon as negro suffrage was established,
the Democratic party; with that keen scent
deculiar to it, would court the negro inhu-
ence, and the Wises and Letchcrs of the
South would be after them, claiming re-
lationship; and as the same blood did re-
ally roll in their veins, they would bring
afidayits to prove it if necessary" Here
we have malicious SANDER against our
leading men When we saw in the papers
( lately that this miserable cobbler had been
converted to the christian religion, we in
dulged the hope that he might have be-
come a changed man; but have been dis
appointed. IF he ever was converted,
the dog has returned to his voinit.'
Negro Suffrage in the District
The Senate passed the bill comforting
the right Of suffrage on the negroes in the
! District of Columbia, on Thursday last,
by a vote of 80 to IS, but excluding those
who n,y have voluntarily given aid and
comfort to the South in the late war An
amendment providing that the voter should
be enabled to write his own name was de-
feated by a large majority. This is but
the entering wedge to negro suffrage in
the territories of the United States Nt
form of government will be considere@!
'trepubJicaa' by our sapient refornrers in
Congress that does not confer the right to
vote upon the negro population.
A similar bill passed the House last
session, and there is no doubt that it will
become law during the present session,
as two-thirds or more are in favor of it.
re- Mr.. Stevens, on Thursday last, in
troduced into the House of Representatives
at the instance of several gentlemen from
the region known in the northern geogra-
plies as the ''tar, pitch and turpentine'
State, bill to 're-e stablish civil govern
ment" in what he is pleased to term the
''distriet formerly comprising the State
of North Carolina" 1t is proposed to ig-
more the existing government, and treat
her as a territory Fhe good people OF
North Carolina, in view of the treachery
Of Holden and the precious set of loyal
men, so-called, who act with him in this
matter, must feel that they have been un-
justly deprived Of their rights; but, having
no means of defending themselves, they
must quietly and patiently submit to the
oppressors' powes. Ihey must see one OF
the stars stricken from the tattered flag, to
be obscured at least for season by clouds
of radical fanaticism and folly; and the
other "districts" now beyond the pale Of
the Union will soon follow their star,
pitch and turpentine" brethren into the
dark valley of territorial nothingness =
the hades of political death!. "What a
fall was there, my countrymen J" We
know that Stevens and the ether Brutuses
who are aiming their death-dealing blows
at the South, is an honorable man, SC
arc they all, all honorable men, when
