UNDER ONE HEAD.

Buffers game and that of his crowd
IN Congress is perfectly apparent 1t is
by wholesale, repeated, and violent de-
nunciation of the Southern people as
murderers, outlaws. assassins, and the
like, to provoke their representatives on
the floor to some outbreak in speech or
act which they can use to infame the
North, their idea being that, no matter
what the prov0catiOn or how taunting the
language may resent it will be adjudged
to be IN the VIZ ng. IS a matter Of fact,
IN the last six years, not one South
ern Senator or member has ever made the
slightest reflection upon the people of the
North, though day after day for that time
aud longer they are forced to listen to the
severest revilings of their constituents,
uttered sometimes by men who have used
their official positions to build up colOs-
sal fortunes.
SOME of Governor Browns devoted ad-

band of a second wife, basing his opinion
upon the text, a Bishop must be blame
less, the husband Of one l0ifc vigilant,
sober, OF good BEHAVIOR etc, being
Dauls admonition to Timothy This the
Bishop CONSTITUTES 10 mean that the candl-
date for conservation should never be
twice married. He objected in the same
way to the election and conservation Of
the present Bishop Of Missouri vino had
also married twice In spite Of Bishop
Nottingham peculiar views, he and
Bishop Dudley are on the best terms,
the latter recently taking tea with Bishop
Whittingham and receiving from him a
present of valuable book. The objec-
ton of the Maryland bishop seems un-
founded, as the passage of Scripture
light, with far more force, be construed
TO mean that a bishop must, positively, be
the husband or one wife, leaving him no
alternative but marriage, whether i, may
be the second or third time.

THE general feeling among the Admin
istration Republicans and those from The
Southern States tonight, is that the pas

They feel that unless four or five Of thC
Southern States can be carried in the
