ration of Independence was prepared
and published by the Congress; this
body was composed Of delegates
from the several colonies, each colo
ny giving one vote. This august
body possessed no original grant Of
powers, no charter or constitution
comforting authority or restricting its
actions, no power to enforce its own
resolves or DEGREES, but was depend
ent upon the acquiesence Of the sew
eral colonies in any measure it
thought proper to recommend: in q
word, it was simply q deliberatiye
advisory assembly, the authority Of
its members being as varied as the
powers appointing them; few if any
of the delegates were instructed or
authorized to declare the colonies in
dependent of Great Britian; many
feared the step premature at that
time, and none supposed that Con-
gress could bind the colonies in that
or any other measure beyond their
voluntary acquiesence.
Sovereignty must rest somewhere;
and when the connection between
the Mother Country and the colonies
was dissolved, that sovereignty was
vested tn the people of the several
colonies as an inherent right-in the
people of all the colonies as one peo-
ple-or merged in the Congress as
the instrument that promulged their
emancipation from British tyranny.
The latter conclusion is too prepos-
terous for any one to arrive at, the
second, as we think we have shown,
is wholly inconsistent with the char
acter tho several colonies bore to
each other; hence we adopt the first
7that each colony became q sover-
eign independent State.
Additional reasons for arriving at
this conclusion will be given in my
next letter. when / come to consider
the adoption of the Articles of Con-
federation, how they were adopted,
the reasons therefor, and the pur-
poses thereof, Yours truly,
WILLAMETTE.

CONGRESSMEN FIVE AND TWENTY
YEARS AGO.

Ben Perley Poore, in his Boston
correspondence, thus alludes to the
above topic Five-and-twenty years
ago there were seldom over fve-and-
twenty Congressman who brought
their wives to Washington and kept
them there during the session. Up
to that time the Senators and Repre-
sentNtives usually lived here in what
they called "messes." From half a
dozen to fifteen congenial spirits
would take a room at some boarding.
house, with the understanding that
no one else was to be admitted, and
the party thus formed a family circle.
In many of these "messes' no ladies
were tolerdErl, while in othersthe chief
attraction was the wife of some Sena-
tor or Representative, who was virtu-
ally the queen of the establishment.
Was it to be wondered at that so
many Congressman used to pass their
evenings i'll "fghting the tiger" at
some of the comfortable gaming hells
on the avenue, or in carousals at the
gorgeously ftted-up establishments
near by. Washington city was then
very immoral city, and many fine
intellect failed to preserve the owner
from temptation.
Nowadays matters have changed.
There are to-day in Washington for
ty-fve Senator's out of seyenty-two,
and one hundred and six Represen-
tatives out of two hundred and thirty
five, who are accompanied by their
wives; and these one hundred and
and ffty-one wives Of Congressman
exercise q potent influence. Gam
bling, drunkenness, and other vices
which it is not necessary to
name here, once so common among
Senators and Representatives, are not
now openly practiced, if practiced at
all, by any of them. About forty
Congressman keep house, and are
benefited by the social influences OF
home while the others board at hotels
or boarding-houses whore agreeable
circles are formed. Eighteen Sena-
tors and twenty-four Representatives
have also here with them daughters
who go into society; others are ac-
companied by female relations on
friepds, and thirty baye with them
children too youngto 90 out. So the
successors Of men who used to pass
their evenings at a faro bank or poker
table, escort their daughters to balls,
or remain at home and frolic with
their children. All this is q decided
change for the better.

THE Ono TEMPERANCE MovE.
MENT.-The temperance movement
receives fresh impetus from repeated
successes. In Washington, Ohio. a
man named Passmore opened n new
saloon last week. Immediately the
whole moral and religious power Of
the town turned upon him. Ladies
prayed before the door all day, and
till half-past 10 o'clock at night.
During the sno%.storm yesterday
an immense procession marched to
Mr.. Beck, who had enjoined the
women from using a tabernacle in
front Of his place, Those onjoined
remained in the church to pray
Beck, on seeing the procession, said
he too would close. Only one re
mains, and be asks till tomorrow TO
consider.
At Blanchester all tho saloons are
closed.
On FEBRUARY II, at Xenia, Ohio,
four hundred women enlisted in the
temperance movement The or.
ganization was completed this noon,
aud work will commence tomorrow
morning.

Q short time since, with a lecture on

might be expected, there were given
an abundant number OF illustrations
OF his subject. One was o story of
the lrishman, who, on his death-bed,
sought to offset his confession to the
priest OF numberless crimes by de-
claring that ne had once converted a
