If Confess declare that they have no riht to legislate on the subject of slavery, it will do more than anything else to produce In the U. S. Senate, on Monday, the motion to refer all the subjects growing out of the ject of slavery to a select committee of teen, was taken up.

Mr. Cass took similar views, and favored the committee.

it Mr. Smith said he was opposed to the refer- enco to a committee, lie was opposed to join ring the territorial bills with the California bill. I-Ie was in favor of admitting California, and opposed to any territorial bill. Douglas moved to lay the subject on the table, with the view to take up the Califor- ma bill. Mr.

Footeappealed that no test vote be taken then. There were eight votes absent, which, if-present, would vote for the committee. He proposed that the subject be postponed until Thursday, when the test rote would be taken. And the subject was postponed till Thursday. In the House, the slavery question was discussed for some time, and the committee rose.

Mr. Conger made an ineffectual effort to in struct the committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to report a bill 10 abolish the franking privilege, and reduce the postage to two cents the half ounce when pre-paid, and five cents when not, and to authorize the transmission of newspapers free of postage within thirty miles of tiieir place of publication. Mr. Potter said that the committee would report on the subject, Tery shortly. ih the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr.

Hale, ot New Hampshire, presented a large number of anti-slavery petitions. ZIr. Clay called the attention of the Senate to the fact that the greatei portion of these pe- titions were printed, and similar, for the pur pose of showing that there was a concerted movement among the Abolitionists to rnisrep- resent miblic sentiment in various sections of the country, by sending their petitions in blank, to -be circulated insidiously, and returned to the Senate. Mr. Hale called the Senator to order for speaking without a motion being made.

Mr. Clay took his seat greatly excited, and demanding a statement of the point of order. After some consideration on the point of order, Mr. Clay proceeded in a strain of strong de- aguinst the abolitionists of the the worst enemies of the slaves of Ho showed the extent of tho prevalent sec-J tional feelings, and insisted that unless they turns round and abuses the south and hesaid i that Mr. Stevens' day of mischief in Pennsyl- vania is over that State having indelibly branded him, as he deserved, as a traitor to liberty.

Jn conclusion, he said the South had never aggressed on the North. Jn the Senate, on Thursday, Mr. Cass pre- sentcd the resolutions of the Legislature of Michigan rescinding the instructions to vote for the Wilmot proviso, and made an eloquent speech thereon. The resolution of Mr. Foote, for a committee of thirteen, to whom should be referred the several questions now agitating the couniy, was taken up.

nays 28. The question was taken on Mr. Benton's amendment, excluding California so as to take the vote on it and it was rejected by a similar vote. Mr. Benton ihen moved to exclude from reference the abolition of slavery in the States, suppression of the slave trade between the Slates, abolition of slavery in dock -yards, and abolition of slavery in the District of Col-Mr.

Venezuela, which broke out on the lStb of March, ami consumed almost the entire city but two buildings being left standing.

Pride and moral timidity forbade him to come down, and consequently Parkman was murdered. We are witnesses of the mawkish sentiment to which we have referred, and on several occasions have not hesitated to denounce it. True we have had 110 murders, and trust we never shall but we have our artificial lines enclosing cliques and parties which possess no real affinity fur each other. Neighbors meet every day in the year, and with no feud or quarrel, refuse to recognize, each other. The heads of families encourage and practice this system, and the sons and daughters follow obediently and cheerfully.
