Abolition Leads the Column.—Within
a single month the following Abolitionists
have been elected to the Senate of the Uni
ted States for six years from the 4th of
March next: Wm. II. Se ward, of New
lork; Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts; and
Charles Durkee, of AVisconsin. Mr. Har
lan, of Iowa, has received the whole vote of
the fusionists in the Legislature of that State
and makes the fourtii of the series.
Mr. Seward is his own successor. Gen.
Wilson follows Mr. Everett; Mr. Durkee
succeeds Hon. J. P. Walker, Democrat,-
and Mr. Harlan expects to till the place
now occupied hv the orthodox democrat,
Clen. A. C. Dodge. There are several
other States to elect, and we shall not be
surprised to see the fusiouists in these
States uniting upon other Abolitionists ot
the same stripe as those already chosen.
The contest in New Hampshire is conduc
ted partly t<» ciect two Abolitonists to the
Senate, in place of two sound national
men. otherwise certain of being returned
to that dignified body. Gradually the
conservative and constitutional*inttuence in
the Senate is passing away before the
KnowXothing Organization. Gradually the
steam and well tried champions of the rights
of the States are being-stricken down in the
North. In this state of alfairs the strange
and appalling spectacle is presented of
Southern men coming forward to unite
with influences that conspire to destorv
the rights of the South and to dissolve the
noble fabric of our Union. This would,
indeed, be a melancholy realization of the
adage, "Whom the Gods wish to destroy
they first make mad.,, Wash Union.

Henry Stevens, writing from Barnet, Yt,
to the New York Tribune, says—“It is a
fact that large quantities of woolen rags, also
wool made from rags, are now and for seve
ral years have been imported. We have
in our own country rag speculators; they
buy the woolen as paper rags. Woolen
rags are wortli from four to six cents per
pound in the dirt. The rags are sorted,—
then by machinery converted into wool.—
Rag wool is now selling at from 20 to 2S
cts. per pound. A neighbor of mine, a few
days since, imported from Montreal seven
teen tons of woolen rags. From these rags
be makes about 400 pounds of wool per
day. About ten days since be bought in
Boston 23, 000 pounds of wool made of rags
imported from France. This will be man
ufactured into stocking yarn and sent to
market.
“We shall soon be flooded with woolen
rags. By the late treaty, rags from Canada
come in duty free. I believe that there
will be 30, 000, 000 pounds of woolen rags
made into wool, then manufacured into
cloth, stocking yam, Ac, the coming year
in this country. Every pound of this rag-
wool takes the place of so much of our
native wool. The cloth sells to good ad
vantage, and is quite cheap and durable.,,
The Czar in his Sled ice.—Let us stand
on one side, for the Emperor’s sledge is
coming; lie is dressed in a gray military
cloak and leather helmet ornamented with
gold, precisely similar to that of any
officer. He lias a fine face; his fair com
plexion and the general cast of his features
show his German decent, but there is
something peculiarly disagreeable about
bis eyes. His noble figure amply fills the
sledge which drives at a rapid pace past
us. His majesty looks older than a few
months ago; his hair is grayer and his
shoulder rounder, yet he is a fine man still.
He acknowledges the low hows of his
people by a military salute, and leaves
behind him as lie advances many open
months and wide staring eyes among the
sheepskin gentry, who perhaps but just
came in to St. Petersburg with the “Winter-
loads,” and scarcely gaze tlieir fill at the
Czar, who in tlieir ignorance, they imagine
a kind of God upon the earth. Look! the
Emperor is giving a military salute to some
ladies in a blue carriage, with two Cossacks
in scarlet behind, it is her Majesty the Em-
What Does a Ponnd of Cotlon Cost? )
Tile profits of cotton plantingare in our estima
tion largely overestimated. At 8 cents a pound,
which may perhaps he takan as the average price
of cotton, it is a fair thing nothing more. I here are
individual instances of planters who make a iarge
profit at that priee, hut for every such instance,
another can be found, who, on the other hand,
barely makes a living at the same rate. The laws
which govern money making are the same in cot
ton planting as in every other legitimate business,
(jjose economy, strict attention to his business,
prodetire and Industry, will, in the end, make a
man rich, whether lie makes cotton hags or sells
calico, v.-hotlier he fills the earth or plows the
ocean,and without these elements, he can no more
prosper in one than in the other. There are more
fortunes made at planting than at any other busi
ness, very probably,bnt this result is attributable
not to the supposed fact that there is more money
made at the business, than at any other, but be-
•nuse planters are, as a class more economical,
and live mose at home than anv other. It is not
to be denied that our vocation lias decided advan
tages over many other pursuits, its independence
its stability and its sesmity for instance, hut it
will be found, the world over, that just in propor
tion as these advantages, are sacrificed in any pur
suit, no matter what, just in that proportion are the
anticipated profits enhanced. The shipping busi
ness, for instance, lias to encounter more risks, and
is, proportionally, more uncertain than planting,
but when its adventures are fortunate, they yield
a much larger return than the same amount would
if invested in land and negroes. So of banking,
so of mining, so of merchandizing, so of every oth
er monied pursuit. After all, there will be found a
surprising uniformity characterizing the profit and
loss account of the various legitimate avocations of
life. The advantages and disadvantages,—esti
mated with reference to their profitableness, are
very evenly balanced, and a choice between them
is a matter to In- regulated by the tastes and tal
ents.
We set out, however, wifli the assertion that the
profits of cotton planting were largely ever-estima
ted, and we return to the question, and our esti
mates will he necessarily approximative, but, we
think, not far out of the way. W e shall, of course,
represent no one isolated instance, hut will base
I our calculations upon the ordinary operations id
the cotton plantation. We shall assume that the
average value of a full hand i»$9;m, and that the
unavailable negro property on the plantation, in
the shape of young and old negroes, amounts to
22 1-2 per cent, upon this: that is to say, on a plan
tation where the negro property amount to $12,000,
the value of the available force will be only $9,000,
In calculating the interest, therefore, upon the val
ue of each hand, we shall add to it 33J per cent,
for the value of the inefficient negroes, because it
. is a necessary part of the cost of a cotton planta-
i tion conducted on the general plan. We shall al
low thirty-five acres of land to each hand, twenty-
five for cultivation, and ten in the woods. The al
lowance of land, we know, is below the fact, gen
erally, for there are few who own less, and a large
number own twice or three times as much. We
think, however, that the cron should not be charg
ed with a larger proportion of wood land, inasmuch
as it is in no way indispensable to its culture. We
have taken ten acres of woodland to the hand as
sufficient to afford wood, timber and privilege to the
plantation. ] ty the returns of the lasNcensus, the
average cash value of farms,
In South Carolina was $5 OS per acre.
“ Georgia, “ 4 19 “
“ Alabama, “ f> 30 “

making an average in these five States of $6 TO
per acre. The average of cotton lands in Louisia
na is not, probably, so high as the figures in the a-
bove table, hut the average in the other States, we
are satisfied, is a low estimate.
The usual rule on cotton plantations is, to allow
one mule for two hands, and the result of our ob
servation is, that the average duration of good ser
vile that may be expected of a mule, with ordina
ry plantation treatment, is five years. We shall,
therefore, charge tin- crop with interest on the
prime cost of the mule, and 20 percent, for his
wear and tear. In estimating the cost of clothing,
hats, blankets, &c., we shall charge each band
with his own customary allowance, and 50 per et.,
additional, for the inefficient negroes on ’the plan
tation. The balance sheet will then stand thus,

Lucky.—The Atlanta Examiner of the
10th says a gentleman from Virginia,
while stopping at the Washington Hall
Hotel, in that city, a few days since, re
ported the loss of his pocket-book, con
taining S3,200; hut appearing to take the
matter so ‘coo says the Examiner,
‘the incredulous were disposed to regard
it a hoax, and even those of a contrary
disposition were left in doubt as to the
fact, particularly when the gentleman on
the ensuing morning took passage in the
Augusta train on his way to the Old Do
minion.’ Shortly after the departure of correctness.
the gentleman in question, the money mar
ket among the ‘colored folks’ seemed to
become so easy as to excite suspicion that
a ‘smash’ had been made on some one.—
A negro, in attempting to pass a hundred
dollar bill, was arrested, which led to the
recovery' of $3,100 more, scattered among
his friends. This fully confirming the
Virginia gentleman’s account of his loss,
no delay was had in informing him of his
recovery of his funds. So indifferent did
he appear at his loss that the Examiner
wonders whether he will think it worth
while to put himself to the inconvenience
of coming or sending after his money; and
if not, suggests that it be invested for the
benefit of the poor of that city.
The hie of Serpents.—Many years ago
says an English writer, when I was a res
ident in Turkey, I had occasion to make
frequent references to Arrian. On finding
that the Island of Serpents was lately ap
pointed as the rendezvous for the expedi
tion against the Crimea, I was reminded
of the gift of that island by Thetis to A-
ckilles, and of the petty fable respecting
the manner in which the temple of that
hero was kept clean. According to Arrian,
a multitude of aquatic turds of all sorts a-
bonnded there, wbieli alone had the care
of the temple. They repaired every
morning to the sea, where they bathed
their wings, afterwards sweeping with
their plumage the sacred pavement.—
1 rom the immense number of these birds
and from the color of their dung, the island
was known to the Greeks by the name of
Leuce. The shades of both Achilles and
Patroclus, who were equally worshipped
there, are also said to have appeared in
dreams to those who visited the island,
of Georgia.—We learn from the Macon Mes
senger, that the Supreme Court, now in session at
Macon, lias given a decision, by virtue of which
“a railroad company may now be. sued in any mili
tia district, in any county through which the road
runs and in which it has an agent.”
The provision of the Constitution of Georgia,
fixing the jurisdiction of the courts, requires that
suit shall be brought in the “county wherein the
defendant resides. I'nder this clause it has been
held by some half dozen of the Superior Court
Judges, not one dissenting, that a railroad could
only be sued in the county In which the company’s
organization is located. This uniform current of
decision it has pleased the Court of Appeals to
reverse. Tlieir decision nmy be right as well as
“popular,"' hut we are sorry to say the fact that it is
tlieir decision does very little to convince us of its

“disappointed lawyers,” mentioned by our respect
ed neighbors of the Republican, “who have lost
their cases and suffered in their vanity.” And we
say furthermore—not having the fear of the Court
before our eyes—that its published opinions are a
disgrace to the. State of Georgia. A harsh judgment
perhaps, hut notone of the recent formation.—
One, too, which, when we have a little more leis
ure, we engage to establish to the satisfaction of
our readers.
Missouri U. S. Senator.—The, Legislature of Mis
souri in Joint Convention of the two Houses, hav
ing balloted more than forty times for a United
States Senator, in place of Gen. Atchison, Nebras
ka Democrat, whose term of office expires on the
4th of next month, adjourned the Convention on
the 3d inst. by vote of 88 to 63 until called togeth

further proceedings will be had upon the subject
at the present session. The result of the latest
hallotings was aliout as follows, viz: Atchison, 59;

the course of the discussion whirfj resulted in the

Tbe Letter of Senator Henry Wilson.
The most extraordinary letter of the day is that
which follows. It is the opiouion of the new sen
ator from Massachusetts, in reply to the question
of a know-nothing journal, and is intended to op
erate upon the people of the South. We give it
entire:
Senate Chamber, Feb. 19,1355.
Dear Sir.—My answer to your inquiries will be
brief and explicit.
1st. I fully recognise the doctrine of State rights
in its application to slavery, as well as to any
other matter of public concern.
The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of I79-*,
in the main, as I think, correctly set forth that
doctrine.
The whole subject of slavery within State limits
should he li ft absolutely to State legislation.
2d. My response to your secdud question is iir
eluded in mv answer to your first. I do not enter
tain the opinion that Congress has any power to
interfere with slavery as it exists under State
laws.
3d. Every man who believes in a God must
necessarily believe that there is a law paramount
to all human law. and that this law is to he obeyed
by men in public and private life, rather than any
human law in conflict with it. But I sec nothing
in the constitution of the United States,as I under
stand the constitution of the United States, which
requires me, as a senator from Massachusetts, to
do anything in conflict with the law of God. If!
thought otherwise, I would not take an oath to
support the constitution of the United States.
4th. The American organization in Massachu
setts does not embrace the question of slavery
among those for the regulation of which it was
formed,
The people of Massachusett have fixed opin
ions, in which most of the members of that organ
ization fully concur, against the support or allow
ance of slavery by national legislation.
They entertain the most profound conviction
that the harmony and repose of the country and'
the highest interests of the master and the slave
demand that the national government should he
relieved from all connexion with responsibility fur
slavery, and that this disturbing question should
he left to the people of the States where it
exists.
While they do not seek to impose these convic
tions and opinions upon their fellow-citizens of
other States, or to proscribe them for not fully con
curring in these convictions and opinions, they
will admit to no dictation or proscription from any
body of men or section of the country.
I, as a senator from Massachusetts, shall claim
for the opinions of her people all the freedom of
utterance and all the influence upon the action of
Congress and the administration of the govern
ment, which a senator from Virginia can claim for
the opinions of the people of the ancient Do
minion. Yours trulv,
HENRY WILSON.
General Wilson is one of those men who claim
to he par excellence, conscientious abolitionists.
His creed means nothing if it does not mean oboli-
tion. This is the end-all and the cure-all of his
system. To assail the South—to undermine the
constitution—to repeal the fugitive-slave law—to
resist the introduction of any more slave States—
to restore the Missouri-Compromise line—these
are the articles of his belief, and to those lie is de
liberately and solemnly committed. Let us sec
how far the success of his policy can be reconciled
to his jesuitical pledge against interference with
slavery in the States.
He declares in his letter of the 19th of February
that there is a “higher law,” and that ‘this law is
to be obeyed by men in public and private life,
rather than any human law in conflict with it.”
On the 2d of this same month of February, be
fore an immense audience of abolitionists in Bos
ton, a most treasonable speech was made by Mr.
Burlingame, a know-nothing abolitionists, elected
to Congress from that city, and a liosom friend
of Senator Wilson, in which the following passage
occurs:
“He mould hare judges mho belie re in a higher him,
and in an anti-slarery constitution, an anti-slavery
Bible, and on onti-slarrry God!"
Immediately after the speech in which this sen
timent occurs, Senator Wilson, the same who wrote
the letter of the 19th, declared, at the same meet
ing, in response to a call from those present:
“Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen : This is not
the time nor the place for me to utter a word. You
have listend to the eloquence of my young friend,
and here to-night l endorse erery sentiment hr has ut
tered. In public or in priratr life, in majorities or
minorities, at home or abroad, I intend to lice and to
die with hitter, unrelenting hostility to slnrrry on my
lips. I main no compromise auyirhere—ut home or
abroad. I shall yield nothing of my anti-slauery sen
timents, at home or abroad, to adrnnee my own per
sonal interests, or to the demands of any State or sec
tion of our country."
Thus, in one place, senator Wilson proclaims that
he is for letting slavery alone in the States where
it exists; and in another, he asks for “an anti-
slavery constitution, an anti-slavery Bible, and an
anti-slavery God.” In the latter place, he also de
clares he will “yield nothing of his antislavery sen
timents, at home or abroad, to advance his own
personal intere.-ts, to advance partv interests, or to
the demands OF ANY STATE OR SECTION OF
THE COUNTRY.”
Let us analyze this budget of inconsistencies.
“An anti-slavery constitution” can mean only
the the ignoring of the fundamental law, because
tliat law recognises tbe. right of a southern citizen
ty in slaves; so that General Wilson,
lodged to such a constitution, is of
d to the worst treasons of the worst
foes of the rights of the States.
“An anti-slavery God” and “an anti-slavery
Bible” is the cant of infidels like Phillips and
Garrison, who impeach the Deity and profane the
Christian church, and cry ont for REASON and
against religion, because our countrymen refuse
to embark in a war upon the South, as a war
against God, against the Union, and the peaceful
precepts of the Bible.
Amid the orgies of Boston infidelity, abolition is
the only divinity worshipped by tlm devotees of
Senator Wilson. It is in these dens that Burlin
game has caught the spirit of fanatical hostility to
tin- South, and it is this spirit tliat General Wilson
endorsed on tin- 2d of February last. Abolition
and infidelity go hand in hand together.
Senator Wilson tells us, in his letter of the 19th
of February, that “the whole subject of slavery
within State limits should be left absolutely to
to State legislation;” and yet on the 2d of the
same month, with monstrous hardihood, he de
clares; “/shnU^yietd nothing of my anti-slarrry sen-
timents to the demands of any State or section of
onr country. Let us see how utterly reckless the
first declaration becomes when contrasted with
the second.
In Senator Wilson’s letter he declares that he
“fully recognized tin- doctrine of State Bights."
In his Boston speech he endorses the ripen/ of
the fugitive shirr lam, the abolition of slavery in tin:
District of Colnmliia, and almost in terms pledges
himself against the admission of any more slave
States.
Now, will this abolition agitator tell ns how he
can repeal the fugitive-slave law, or abolish slave
ry in this District, without interfering irith the rights
of the shire Stalest We need not argue a proposi
tion which is so clear that no one doubts that the
moment Congress consummates even the first
proposition, the days of our existence as a nation
would be at an end.
The proposition to resist the introduction of
any more Slave states, avowed by Burlingame and
accepted by Wilson, is carrying this doctrine of
interference with the rights of the States of the
South to the most revolutionary extremes. No ac
cepted statesman of any party can deny this.—
What, then, is the meaning of the letter of the 19th
of February? It is is deceive and to betray the
South by a bollI and bungling falsehood. It is to
“advance the interests" of a dishonest party, the
head, and heart, and hands of which are unadul-
erated abolitionism, while the words and smiles of
which are the cheap blandishments held out to the
South. Deep disgust and ineffible scorn will be
the reward of these pernicious efforts to defraud
and mislead public opinion. The southern people
will see luiw these abolition leaders misunderstand
and underrate them; how flagrant a vice this se
cret order has become when an oath-bound agita
tor like Senator Wilson, their mortal and unfor
giving foe, dares to suppose them capable of being
misled by his shallow-and his wicked sophistries.
Senator Wilson adds to all his duplicity, how
ever, the contemptible ami mean-spirited assump
tion “that the American organization in Massa
chusetts dees not embrace the question of slavery
among those for the regulation of which it was
formed.” Will lie deny, however, that it has sent
a band of abolitionists into the next Congress?
Will he deny that it has elected an abolition legis
lature? that it has chosen an abolition gavemor?
and that it prescribes and limits down every man
who dares to stxnd up for constitutional doctrines?
What matters it to the South what the profession
of any party may he when its works are the works
of treason—its leaders abolition leaders—and
when it violates the law of God and man in its cru
sade upon the rights of the States and the rights
of individuals?
The know-nothing wings of the South, to whom
we respectfully dedicate this article, should be
very proud of their new ally, Mr. Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts!
Indiana Legislature.—A bill has been introduced
in the Senate of Indiana to break up the Know-
Nothing lodges in that State. It declares it a con

tion.
Abolitionism and Know-Notbiagiim.
EXCITING DEBATE IN THE SENATE!
In Congress, Friday, an exciting debate sprung
up in the Senate, on the hill to protect officers and
other persons acting officially under the authority
of the United States. It provides, that if a suit he
commenced in any State court against any officer
of the United States, sr other person, for any act
done under law or color of law of the I nited
States, the defendant may remove such suit, to the
United States Court sitting in that circuit, or if
no circuit, then in the District Court clothed with
circuit powers.
Mr. Wade considered this bill as designed to
again introduce the agitation of the slavery ques
tion into Congress.
Mr. Douglas.—The Senator from Ohio regrets
that the session could not pass by without agita
tion. There is not a word or a line in that bill
having any reference to the fugitive slave act.
Mr. Badger.—Yes, there is the word color in the
phrase “under color of law.” [Laughter.] The
principle of this bill has been applied for 40 years,
and never objected to before. Mr. Wade lias re
cently become the champion of State rights.
Mr. Wade.—Not recently, hut eternally.
Mr. Douglas.—The Ohio Senator’s passion is
not against this Law, but against the constitution
uf his country. I go for the law, because the
.' Senator from Ohio does not—for putting down the
, rebellion and preventing anarchy.
Mr. Wade—My State disbelieves the constitu
tionality of the fugitive slave act, and so do I.
Mr. Douglas.—The Constitution has provided
the Supreme Court to settle questions of constitu-
i tioualitv.
i Mr. Wade.—Does the Senator from Illinois be-
* iieve that the States have any rights in ease the
> federal courts pronounce the fugitive act constitu-
• tional?
: Mr. Douglas.—The difference between the
1 States and the United States jurisdiction is clearly
! marked. The delegated powers are under the
control of the constitution and laws of the United
States. On the reserved powers the States may
legislate upon and ujkui these alone. The former
they have relinquished. When I have to come
here to purjure myself, and with an intention to
violate the constitution, I will rather stay at home.
I won't then degrade myself by coming here.
(To Mr. Wade.) What were you anti-Nebraska
men? Were you not Maine liquor law men.
know-nothings, meeting in secret conclave, hound
under illegal oaths, caucusing at midnight, smil
ing at those whom they met, while preparing to
stab them?
Mr. Wade.—Was not your Kansas and Nebras
ka hill concerted by a secret conclave in the
nijriit?
Mr. Douglas.—No. By myself alone, in my
own house. But yonr friends are the combined
remnants of the whig party—ail the isms, inaiitc
liquor law, know-nothings—men who proscribe
their fellow-men on account of tlieir religion. If
tin- South, by and by, comes into know-nothing-
ism, will you call that also anti-Nebraska? You
took some Democrats, hut they were entrapped,
hut will leave you when they come to their senses.
Did Massachusetts send her delegation because
of her anti-Nehraskaism?
Mr. Wilson.—I’ll answer the Senator from Illi
nois. Anti-Nebraska did not place me where I
am to-day. But, no man can have a place here
after on either floor of Congress who is not Anti-
Nebraska. There is a unanimity of sentiment in
Massachusetts on that subject and I accord with
it.
Mr. Fessenden.—The bill comes here so strong
that we can do nothing against it. If the Senator
from Illinois can draw any consolation from the
election in New Hampshire last year, the late elec
tions in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and in New
York, he is welcome to it. Did know-nothing pro
duce all this?
Mr. Douglas.—I did not argue the Kansas and
Nebraska billon tli“ principles imputed tome.
Mr. Fessenden.—If you did not, others did. All
the free States went one way.
Mr. Weller—California went for Nebraska—six
candidates, of all parries, were Nebraska men.
Mr. Fessenden.—I forgot about the States west
of the Rocky Mountains. Illinois was not anti-
Nebraska.
Mr. Douglas.—Illinois was not anti-Nebraska,
John Moore was a candidate against whom the
anti Nebraska men poured out all tlieir spite be
cause lie refused the State House to tlieir lectures.
They denounced him in the most violent language
through their newspapers. He had every ism op
posed to him, and yet got a majority of 3,000 votes.
Mr. Fessenden.—Per contra, look at the Illinois
Legislature, giving leave to Mr. Douglas’ collea
gue to stay at home. But to return to the hill.
The Senator from Illinois asked whether we would
go against the Constitution by refusing to pass
this hill to carry its provisions out. I answer,
there are measures which may be constitutional,
yet perfectly odious to a free constitution. When
odious measures are proposed to carry out consti
tutional provisions, we are not hound to assent to
such measures.
After further remarks by Messrs. Chase, Tou-
cey, Walker, Benjamin, Stuart, Pettit, Cooper and
Bayard.
Mr. Butler said—This hill came to the commit
tee in a regular manner, supported by petitions
from district attorneys, marshals, and judges of
the federal courts. The Senator from Connecticut
drew the hill by order of the committee. I said
when it comes to this that a law of the United
States cannot he executed without danger to the
persons of the officers to whose execution it is
committed, something must be done.
Mr. Toucey said tliat he did not like to propose
a law so much against public opinion, hut would
draw this hill in hopes of subserving the constitu
tion.
Mr. Butler.—The papers were handed to Mr.
Toombs to draw up the hill. In his absence Mr.
Toucey took the initative.
Mr. Wade.—I thought the hill had an inception
in a southern latitude.
Mr. Butler.—Notwithstanding being called to
order I now say that it is not so.
Mr. Wade.—Then what I said first was true
that it came from a northern man.
Mr. Douglas.—I am at little loss to understand
the motives of the Senator from Ohio. His point
is to make out that this is the most monstrous
measure ever brought forward. If this he mon
strous, how ("nil Northern men accuse Southern
men of an infamous act? He don’t choose to ar
raign a Southern man. He says “you may go to
extremes if you will let me, a demagogue, falsify
history and caterto the prejudices of any people at
home.” I had trusted that among gentlemen there
would not be charges for political purposes, under
the name of philanthropy, which the authors
knew were false when they made them. Why
then this onslaught upon the Senator from Con
necticut and myself, at this time?
I rejoice that as a northern man, horn at the
North with no sympathies, no interests, save
what Northern men have in the whole country,
that I introduced the Nebraska and Kansas hill.
Washington territory was admitted in 1853, leav
ing at her pleasure as to slavery—one year after I
brought in the Nebraska hill—the very same.
The first was whig doctrine which that party em
bodied as to Washington Territory, under the
platform and banner of General Scott. I on turn
against the Nebraska hill because thereby you can
get men in power who otherwise would never he
elevated to office. It is hypocritical. You know
it to be so. I have thrown it into your teeth a
thousand times. Tho game is to dissolve the
Union.
There is not an Abolitionist in the country who
is not a disunionist. And why? The Constitu
tion recognizes slavery. If you don't accept this
element, it is your duty to go for dissolution-
Disunion is at the bottom of the scheme. Nebras
ka you don’t care for. There is not a principle in
theNehraka hill that was not in the Washington
bill. This Union can’t be preserved except In
fidelity to the Constitution. Shall we be true and
loyal to the Constitution? If so, we shall support
ail the laws which emanate under the Constitution.
We will admit new States to have such laws ns
they please so long as they don’t violate the Con
stitution. While Virginia or any other State has
slaves, the new States should have some liber-
ty.
’ 1 deny the right of men who were kicked out of
the Whig party, rejected by the Democratic party
for not being sufficiently honest, and who, finally,
by fusion, got into power, to speak for the North.
Your representatives came here by Know-Nothing
votes. (To Mr. Fessenden.) Do yon know a re
presentative from Maine who came here with
Know-Nothing votes against him?
Mr. Fessenden.—The question was Nebraska or
anti-Nebraska.
Mr. Douglas.—A Know-Nothing cannot lie a
Know-Nothing without swearing to tell adie.
Mr. Fessenden.—I)o you apply this to me?
Mr. Douglas.—Show me a Nebraska man who
was elected by the Know-Nothing vote?
Mr. Seward.—Mr. Morgan, from my district.
Mr. Douglas.—There was a bogus lodge in that
district.
Mr. Seward.—If there was, I did not hear of it
and don’t believe it, and Know-Nothing aliout
it.
Mr. Douglas.—It’s well known that the people
of Chicago would not hear me. A lot ot Know-
Nothings, two bv two with pistols and bowie
knives, went into the crowd and broke up the
meeting. My colleague voted for the Nebraska
bill under instructions from the Legislature.—
Now they say he was beaten because lie obeyed
his instructions. He was cut by the Know Noth
ings. He was guilty of the enormity of being
bum abroad, and had not spilt quite ldood enough
to rectify the mistake.
All this pretence is for political purposes. I can
forgive the Senator from Ohio for his vocifera
tions and his indignations His term is about to
close. He does this to combine all the issues and
ride in to power again. But the race is almost
run. They call us traitors—to what? The con
stitution? No! the North. A man that caters to a
section, will sail by every current—betray every
friend. Sir (to Mr. Wade) 1 am ready to meet
you as a northern man on northern soil to discuss
this question.
Mr. Gillett.—I regret to trespass on the time of
the Senate, hut inasmuch as my colleague has
figured in this debate, I feel it due to present the
true sentiments of Connecticut upon the subject
which lias been precipitated upon us. It would
he more congenial to me to sit in silence; hut
when propositions which I cannot approve, and
measures injurious to humanity are proposed, I
cannot help speaking. The Senator from Lous-
iana has made aggression. I shall speak within
the record. I call the attention of the Senator to
this very District, for which all the States arc
responsible* (Mr. G. here read from the laws
governing the District of Columbia.)
Mr. Dawson.—These law s are. obsolete as the
blue laws of Connecticut. They were never en
forced here. I don’t want such a false impression
to go out. I aui chairman of the District of Col
umbia committee.
Mr. Gillett offered the black code of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Mr. Jones.—That book is a slander upon the
South and upon the country.
Mr. Gillett.—A tiling on horseback, dragged
along on Monday before last a woman tied with a
rope, under the very shadow of the Capitol.
Mr. Rusk.—Where is that hook, the black code
of the District of Columbia?
Mr. Jones.—[Examining the book.]—It is pub
lished bv an anti-slavery society, from the press of
W. B. Snuffers, John street, New Y'ork.
Mr. Rusk.—I suppose so.
Mr. Gillett continued for more than an hour
speaking and citing extracts from foreign and do
mestic- authors in derogation of slavery.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, said the Senator from
Connecticut (Mr. G.) observed at the commence
ment of his speech that the measure was precipi
tated upon them: and lu- has read over fifty pages
which must have taken a week to prepare; and he
speaks of the Senator from Ohio, (Mr. Wade)
which shows he knew what Mr. Wade was going
to say. (To the free soilers.) Now own up gen
tlemen that you know all about this bill, and what
each other were to say on the bill. I do not say in
mv Senatorial capacity, hut personally, 1 verily
believe you are a hand of traitors.
The discussion continued till midnight, by
Messrs. Petit, Wilson, Seward, Bayard, Sumner,
Rusk and Butler, but nothing of importance was
elicited as hearing upon the questions discussed,
the principles of parties, or the position of leaders.
The same old slanders were repeated, which were
answered in the most dignified and satisfactory
manner. Tin; bill was finally passed to a third
reading hy a vote of 29 to 9, when the Senate ad
journed.
HOW PEOPLE TAKE COLD.
Not by stumbling into the river and draggling
home wet as a drowned rat; not by being pitched
into the mud, or spilled out. in the snow in sleigh
ing time; not hy walking for hours over shoe top
in mud: not by soaking in the rain without an
umbrella; not by scrubbing the floor until the tin-
nameable sticks to you like a wet rag; not by hoe
ing potatoes until you are in a latlu-r of sweat: not
hv trying to head a pig in min-winter, ami induce
him to run the other way, for he won’t do any such
tiling; not by steaming over the wash-tub; not hy
essaying to teach Biddy to make mince pies for
Christinas, when you don’t know how yourself,
and then worrying yourself into a perspiration be
cause the pics stuck to the pan, and came out in'll
muss, forgetting that pie-pans, like people, are
rather the better for a little greasing, alias soft
soap; these are not the things which give people
colds: and yet people arc all the time telling us
how they “caught tlieir death by exposure.”
The time fur taking cold is after biking exercise;
the place is in your own house, or office or count
ing-room. It is not the exercise which gives the
cold, hut it is getting e ml too quick after exer
cising. For example, you walk v« ry fast to get to
the railroad station, or to the ferry, or to catch an
omnibus, or to make time for an appointment,
your mind being ahead of you the body makes an
extra effort to keep up with it, and when you get
to the desired spot, you raise your hat and find
yourself in a perspiration; you take a seat, a feel
ing quite comfortable as to temperature, you begin
to talk with a friend, or if a New Yorker, to read a
newspaper, and before yen are aware of it, you
experience a sensation of chilliness, and the thinir
is done; you look around to see where the cold
comes, and find a window open near you, ora
door, or that you have taken a scat at the forward
part of the car, and it moving against the wind, a
strong draft is made through the' crevices. Or
may be you met a friend at a street comer, who
wanted a loan, and was quite complimentary, al
most lovkig; you did not like to lie rude in the de
livery of the two-lettered monosyllable, and while
you are contriving to be truthful, polite, and safe,
all at the same time, on comes the chilly feeling
from a raw wind at the street corner, or the slosh
of mud and water in which, for the first time, you
noticed yourself standing.
Young ladies take their colds in grandly dark
parlors, unused and unfired for a week: warm
enough were they, almost too warm in the gay,
sun shiny street without, and that parlor felt com
fortably cool at first, hut the Inst curl of the visited
would not dangle satisfactorily, and while compell
ing it (young ladies now a-days making it a point
of principle not to he thwarted in any thing, not
even in wedding rich Tom to please the old folks
when they love poor Dick, and intend to please
themselves), while conquering tliat beautiful but
unruly curl, the visiter makes an unexpected
meeting with a child which calls her to the
grave.
I cannot give further space to illustrations to ar
rest the attention of the careless, lmt will reiterate
the principle for the thoughtful and observant:
Get Cool Slowly. After any kind of exercise, do
not stand a moment at a street corner, for any
body or any thing; norat an open door or window.
When you have been exercising in any way what
ever, winter or summer, go home at once, or to
some sheltered place; and however warm the room
may seem to be, do not at once pull off your hat
and cloak, hut wait awhile, some five minutes or
mure, and lay aside one at a time; thus acting, a
cold is impossible.
Notice a moment: when you return from a brisk
walk and enter a warm room, raise your hat, and
the forehead will he moist: let that hat remain a
few moments and feel the forehead again, and it
will he dry, showing that the room is actually cold
er than your body, and that with your out-door
clothing on, you have cooled off full Siam. Among
the severest colds I have known men to take, were
the result of sitting down to meal in a cool room
after a walk; or being engaged in writing, have
let the fire go out; and tln-ir first admonition of it
was that creeping chilliness which is the ordinary
forerunner of a severe cold.
Persons have often lost tln-ir lives hy writing or
reading in a reading room where there was no fire,
although the weather outside was rather uncom
fortable. Sleeping in rooms long unused, has des
troyed the life of many a visitor and friend.
Our splendid parlors, our nice “spare rooms,”
help to enrich many a doctor. Thecold sepulcha-
ral parlors of New York, from May until Novem
ber, bring disease, not only to visitors, hut to the
visited; fiir coming in from domestic occupations,
or from the hurry of dressing, the heat of the body
is higher than natural, and having no cloak or hat
ou in going to meet a visitor, and having, in addi
tion, but little vitality, in consequence of the very
sedentary nature of town life, there is hut very
little capability of resistance, and a chill and cold
is the result.
But Inim to cure a cold promptly ! that is a ques
tion of life and death to multitudes. There are two
methods of universal application. 1st, obtain a
bottle of cough mixture, or a lot of cough candy,
any kind will do; in a day or two you will feel bet
ter, and in high spirits; you will be charmed with
the promptness of the medicine; make a mule of
yourself, hv giving your certificate of the valuable
remedy, and in due course of time, another certifi
cate will he made for your admission, foot fore
most, into “Greenwood.”
The other remedy is, consult a respectable resi
dent physician.—Hull’s Journal of Health.
Hanging Man Dagperreotyped.—It is said that a
Daguerrotype of Green, the wife poisoner, who
committed suicide in Chicago Jail, was taken
while lie hung suspended and lifeless from the
beam. Great curiosity was expressed to see it,
and Enumerable copies are being made.
In Green’s pocket hook was found a paper, con
taining historical notices of Caesar, Hannibal,
Alexander and Bonaparte, all of whom died unhap
py deaths, one by intoxication, the second by su
icide, the third by assassination, and the last in lone
ly exile. The paper closed with the following re
flections:
“How vain is the greatness of the world. How
fearful is the gift of genius, if it he abused! Who
that is now living would not rather die?”
Removal of Judge Luring.—Fell. 23.—Efforts arc
making in the Legislature to remove Judge Lur
ing from his office as Judge of Probate, on the
ground of his course, as U. 8. Commissioner, in
the rendition of the slave Burns.
Strike for If "ages.—Four hundred laborers on
the New York Central Railroad, struck Monday
for wages due them. Many of them are heads of
families without the means of subsistence. Near
ly $18,000 are said to he owing them by the com
pany. - -
Kinney Expedition.—A company is fitting out ill
Mobile, under Mr. II. Maury, for the Central
American enterprise. The Mobile News says he
is a gentleman m whom implicit confidence may
bp placed.
! Death of Coi.. J. Wayne DeLyon.—It is
' with peculiar pain that we arc ealled upon to
■ record the sudden death of this young and promis
ing son of Georgia. He expired at an early hour
: yesterday morning, at the residence of his father,
a few miles distant in the country. His funeral
takes place this afternoon from the house of his
uncle. Col. Isaac I)F. Lyon, of this city. He will
bo attended to bis last resting palee by the Chat
ham Artillery, of which he was a worthy and gal
lant member.
Col. DeLyon was, we believe, the second son of
Judge Levi S. DeLyon of this city. He was born
the li tli December. 1825, and had consequently
not yet reached bis thirtieth year. In early youth
he was distinguished among his mates for remark*
able intelligence and the warmth and steadfast
ness of his friendships. Entered ,*t the National
Military Academy of West Point in 1844, he grad
uated in due course, ranking among the best stu
dents of his class. Though naturally inclined to
the military profession, he did not. owing to do
mestic circumstances, retain his commisson long,
but resigned it for the more quiet walks of civil
life. During bis legal duties, be commanded the
First Regiment of Georgia Militia, as well as held
the responsible office of City Surveyor. Admitted
to the Bar, he settled in Jacksonville, Telfair coun
ty, whence he recently removed to Thomasville,
having with his elder brother, purchased the Thom
asville Watc hman. As well known to the read
ers of the Georgian, Col. DeLyon wielded a ready
and graceful pen. It was, we believe, in business
connected with this editorial enterprise, that he re
cently came to tliis city, where be was so soon to
end his days. He leaves a wife and four children,
with numerous relatives and friends to mourn his
untimely loss.—Sat. Georgian.
The Diplomatic and C-«n<nlnr Bill
The bill which lias just passed Congress, under
the -auspices of Mr. Perkins, of Louisiana, in the
House, and of Mr. Mason ill the Senate, is consid
ered a measure of great importance. It equalizes
the salaries of onr diplomatic representatives, and
is expected to add to their efficiency: and in the
consular branch will correct many abuses hereto
fore considered somewhat grievous. It proposes
to give the following salaries, with no outfits;
To Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Pleni
potentiary: To Great Britain, $17,090; France,
$15,009; Spain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, $12,-
000; Switzerland, Rome, Naples, Sardinia, Bel
gium, Holland, Portugal. Denmark, and Sweden.
$12,000; Peru, $10,000; Chili, $9,000; Argentine
Republic, New Grenada. Bolivia, Ecuador, Vene
zuela, Gantemala, and Nicaragua, $7,500; Mexico,
$12,000.
Secretaries of Legation are to be paid as follows:
to Great Britain, $2,500; France and Spain, $2,2-
50; Russia, Austria, Prussia, $2,000; Switzerland,
Rome, Naples, Sanlina, Belgnim, Holland, Portu
gal, Denmark, Chili, Sweden, Argentine Repub
lic, New Grenada, Bolivia, Ecaudor, Venezula,
Gantemala, and Nicaragua, $1,500: Brazil, Pent
and Mexico, $2,000. A commissioner to the Sand
wich Islands, is to receive an annual compensa
tion of $6,000; an interpreter to the mission to
China, $2,590—and a dragoman to tile mission to
Turkey, $2,500.
Consuls an- to have fixed salaries, and some of
them are to bo confined to consular business alone.
Others me to have small salaries and to be allow
ed to engage in commercial pursuits.
None of these officers are to receive compensa
tion until they shall have reached their respective
posts, and enter upon tln-ir official duties. Citi
zens of the United States alone to be appointed—
National Intelligencer.
The numerous friends of Judge Henry R. Jack-
son, will be gratified to learn that his salary was
doubled hv the passage of this hill. As Minister
Resident, his pay has been $6,000—and in tliat ca
pacity, (we believe,) lie has not been allowed a
Secretary of Legation—now his salary is $12,000,
and that of Secretary of Legation at the same
Court is $2,000.
LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.
The U. S. Mail steamship Isabel, Capt. Rollins,
called off Tvbee, at 1 o’clock, this morning, and
made the usual connection, by the Metamorn, with
this city. Her advices are to the 25th from Hav
ana. We arc indebted to our attentive correspon
dents for papers and letters from tliat city and
Key West, all of which will he read with interest.
Especially the summary of recent events in Cuba,
and the curious disclosures contained in the au
thentic narative, written from the dictation of pas
sengers on board the Isabel, will give a clear in
sight into internal affairs of the Island.
The whole account would seem to corroborate
our supposition, made several days since, that the
fillibuster rumor was invented for the occasion, to
cover up a more serious revolutionary movement
at home. The Cuban Government knows as well
as we do that there is no invading expedition on
foot. Col. Kinney is at Washington, the Massa
chusetts lies quietly at New York, the Pampero is
making her usual trips to the Gulf, and Gen. Quit-
man is enjoying good dinners at Mobile and Mont
gomery. It would argue singular ignorance on
the part of Gen. Concha and his agents if they did
not know all this.
The late conspiracy seems to have been an ex
tensive one, having its secret agents in every part
of the Island. If was based principally on the
disaffection of the Creoles, hut embraced many
who have hitherto enjoyed the confidence of tho
Government. As in most similar conspiracies,
there was found a traitor in the camp, who put
the Captain General on the alert. The most ener
getic measures were immediately taken, in con
junction with the British frigates then in port, to
oppress it. The latter sailed at once to Puerto
Principe, where the greatest danger was apprehen

Harrisburg, Feb. 24.

A Candidate for Oovrraor,
The Independent Press of the 24th inst. “nails to
its mast-head the name of the Hon. John E. Ward,
of Savannah, for Governor of the State of Georgia,
and invites Whigs, Democrats, Union men, South
ern Rights men, and all, to rally to his support"
The Journal Sc Courier of the 26th inst. copies the
article of the Pres* from which we have quoted,
and after some flattering addenda of its own in ref
erence to Mr. Ward announces that it w ill sup
port him, if a candidate, in preference to amjhnily
else. Our Savannah contemporary is decidedly can
did and plain-spoken, and we have had frequent
occasion to admire the aplomb with which he
comes to the point. He prefers the S|H-aki r ofthe
House, as a candidate for the office of Governor.—

his name in this connection, by two ofthe Demo

An answer to the Nan I farm Ki-rordrr.
A long communication in the last Recorder is
answered very pointedly by the following article
from the New Orleans Picayune, a Whig paper
with Know-Nothing sympathies:
“We are freely willing to admit that the ends
and aims ofthe new American party, as it calls it
self—the Know-Nothing party, as it is by common
consent denominated—are coiiscienstiouslv adop
ted, finely conceived, and indeed in good faith to

lieves that the best interests of the country are to
be subverted only by carrying out the constitution
according to the design of its founder and tbe plain
interpretation of its letter and spirit) fairly and
safely conclude, when he sees such men as Seirard.

the notorious Abolitionist, rlrcted to the United States
