The House was devoted to debate,
during which, Wilkinson said, that in
his Judgment, Congress had the power
to take charge of railroads in States that
formed great commercial links. This
power, he said, he believed was vested
under that clause of the Constitution
which declared that Congress should re-
gnlate commerce between the States.
MIR. Bird, of New JERSEY, INQUIRED
whether the gentleman believed that Con-
gress could teke, for instance, the rail-
road running through New Jersey, and
control its freight and other charges, and
regulate them. Mr.. Wilkinson had not
the least doubt that Congress had a right
to do this thing, but that it was its duty
to do 1T, as rebuke TO New Jersey for
fostering this monopoly. Mr.. Wilkinson
hoped Congress would take speedy action
upon this subject. and he gave notice
that he would himself introduce a bill
declaring the policy Of Congress upon
this subject.

Contrary to their doctrine, Newton
theory Of gravitation offers neither evi.
deuce nor probability. 1t isa fantastic
commentary, built upon the chimerical
ideas of Keplcr, radically foreign to all
mathematical truth and even transgrcssing
the limits of common sense. Newton
stepped beyond the sphere Of the difficulty
ouly to enter into impossibilities.
After speaking Of the intimate and in
separable connections existing between as
tronomy and geology, he says:
The astronomy Of the time We live in
has to undergo the fate of all human abor.
rations. 1t clings tenaciously to what is
not, yet does not see what is. Que of the
most remarkable arrangements that re.
sponds to one Of the most important as.

mathematical regulation that has collected

perhaps, throws into relief the hand of the

lowing facts:
Nevada admitted into the Union in
1864. In 1856 estimated population 49,.

Florida admitted into the Union in
ls45; white population 10000; area 3d..

Arkansas admitted into tho Union in
1876; white population 45, 600; area g..

Washington Territory population esti.

1t will be discovered that Arkansas, the
year of her admission, cast only 1858 votes
for President, and Florida, three years
after her admission, cast only 1868 votes
for President, and did not in the year
1852 cast but about 1000 votes.

for the chansc-has about the same popu.
lation, and actually more qualified electors
than either Florida or Arkansas at the
date of their admission, and just as many
as either Oregon or Nevada at the time
their people began the move for the for
nation of State. If these were enabled
to accomplish the change from a Terrific
rial condition to that of State, perfect
and maintain the new relation, l can see
no good reason why We, comparing favor.
ably in all essential particulars with them,
should not be equally as fortunate. The
risk surely would be no greater, and the
experiment would not be any hazardous
leap in the dark. Our advantages are as
great, our climate as good, our productions
as favorable, our manufacturing and com
mercial interests as attractive, and our
prospects as fatterng as any of them.
Then why should not the effort be made to
lay aside the habiiiments of minority that
We have worn so long with all their at.
tending humiliating disadvantages Let
the further fact be borne in mind, that in
every instance where the change has been

ton. Energy, manhood and life, always
attract attcntion-always have and always
will. This is true of individuals, and
must be true of a whole people. The
simple fact heralded over the country that
the people Of Washington had declared
their intention to frame a constitution pre-
paratory to an application for admission
into the sis:erhood of States, would Of
itself be greater inducement to immigra-
tion than any other that her people could
offer Men Of capital would visit her
shores seeking profitable investments.
Men of families would seek homes within
her borders for the simple reason that en-.
terprise, energy and manhood, always seek
kindred associations.

Negro Suffrage.

The memorial against negro suffrage,
presented by Mr.. Salisbury in the Senate,
quotes the following interesting opinions
Of eminent statesmen of all parties. Abra-
ham Lincoln included, on the question of
negro equality. John Adams said:
l have never read reasoning more
absurd, sophistry more gross, than the sub.
tie laborers Of Helvetius and Rosseau to
demonstrate the natural equality of man.
kind.
Thomas Jefferson said
Nothing is more certainly y written in the
book OF fate than that these people (thc
negroes) are to be free, nor is it'less GER
tain than the two races equally free can
not live under the same government.
Daniel Webster said: ....... .t
1fany gentleman from the South shall
propose scheme, to be carried on by this
government upon a large scale for the
transportation of the colored people
to any colony or any place in tho world,
l should be quite disposed to incur almost
any degree Of expenses to accomplish that
object.
Henry Clay said:
Of the utility of total separation of tho
two incongruous races Of our population,
supposing it to be practical, none have
ever doubted; the mode of accomplishing
that desirable object has alone divided
public opinion.
Stephen A. Douglas said:
l believe this government was made by
white men for the benefit of white men
and their pos:erity forever; and am in
favor of confuing citizenship to white men
OF European birth and decent, instead of
comforting it upon negroes, Indians, and
other inferior races.
Abraham Lincoln said:
/ am not, and never have been. in favor
of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor
qualifying them to hold Office, nor to inter.
marry with whites; and will say further,
in addition to this, that there is a physical
difference between the white and black
races, which l believe will forbid the two
races living on terms of social and politi.
cal equality.

the panishmeuts which are borne in this

after death. The ten kings of hell have
each hell in which to punish those who
are condemned to them: @'7
