I viraeP from Commodore Perry’s Erpe ditiou to Japan. B,,.iaess heing over, there was now an opportu- j for an interchange of courtesies, and for a hobnobbing between the Americans and i '..ju /.Jiie.se, to which the latter, with all their' . vj. iysi exclusiveness and reserve, were bv no •i.indisposed. Tlie Commodore had provided : ■ -if with a variety of presents for the Empe- I i -wd the Japanese dignitaries, and now took oe- j ato deliver them. He accordingly sent the i .Tjpli apparatus and the diminutive railway on i s and the American sailors, aided bv the Ja- H s-, were soon busy in putting them'in work ; t'der. Iti addition to these there was a liberal : h d books, Colt’s pistols, champagne, whisky I] 1 . J perfumery. The Japanese were*not to be out :ie i. generosity, and, accordingly, had provided , unity of articles of the manufacture of their ■ yas return gifts. These consisted of rich i •adt s and silks, chow-chow boxes for carrying visions, tables, trays and goblets, all made of i ■ famous lacquered ware; of porcelain cups, e i -cases, umbrellas, and various specimens of [ Japanese wardrobe. There was one article j h deserves mention, as it is a universal ao ! ■ -tiini.--lit of all presents; if consisted ot a bit, i -i!i-tish, wrapped in sea-weed, and tied in an : |: velope of paper. I T: presents having been duly arranged in the I ntv House at Yokuhanaa, the Commodore and ~dicers were invited by the Japanese Commis- I i mers, on a certain day, to receive them. Aftei j -ceremony of the reception of the various gifts -slaved on the occasion, the Commodore pre yed'to depart, when Prince llayushi said that -e was one article, intended for the President, iich had not yet been exhibited. The C'ornmo- I - and his officers were accordingly conducted t I beach, where one or two hundred sacks of .-re pointed out, piled up in readiness to b Eg - :i: !i board the ships. As such an immense i f j of substantial food seemed to excite the aderment of the Americans, who were natural- I aii’aast at the idea of conveying such a stock of ,:, :I ne-e rice to the remote distance of the White j isc- and, moreover, loading themselves with J .:-h coal for New castle—the interpreter, Ye -1 -ke, remarked that it was always customary for •■.e Japanese, when bestowing presents, to include ! certain quantity of rice. White contemplating these substantial evidences . Japanese generosity, and puzzling themselves i all sorts of impossible contrivances for stor _ them wav on their arrival at Washington, in Pierce’s quarters, and speculating upon the ' s,-ble effects of a prolonged diet of rice upon 1 warlike characteristics of the President’s kitch- 1 1 cabinet, the attention of the Commodore and ; par.. was suddenly riveted upon a body of ' j '.istrous fellows who came tramping down the ' ■acii like so many huge elephants. They were \ fes nma 1 wrestlers, and formed part of the retinue die Japanese princes, who keep them for theii I -irate amusement and for public entertainments. m v were twenty-five in all, and were men etior- I rsh tall in stature and immense in weight of ah. Their scant costume—which was merely a 1 I -lured cloth about the loins, adorned with fringes, I ad emblazoned with the armorial bearings of the mice to whose service each belonged—revealed 1 limmtic proportions, in all the bloated till 1- ■ -,u fat and breadth of muscle. Their proprie ty' princes, seemed proud of them, and were ■ ail to show their points to the greatest advan aie before the astonished spectators. Some two I r three of the huge monsters were the most fa- 1 cm w restlers in Japan, and ranked as the chain- I ii Tnm Cribs and livers of the land. Koyanagi, r-.-pute I bally of the capital, was one of these. I ,-j.J; traded himself with conscious pride of stipe mensitv and strength. He was brought es !■ .iiv to the Commodore, that he might examine M ma>-.ive form. The Commissioners insisted §■ - iln- monstrous fellow should be minutely iu I .-eiinl, that the hardness of bis well-rounded ■ si- should be felt, and that the fatness of hi ishiooed frame should be tested by the touch. 1 . ■ t.'iiiunnidor* accordingly attempted to grasp 1 ft; • arOl, ho frntml :t* v»1k1 nn it vvtiw huge, i ,i;d then nss-ed his hand over the enormous neck, ■ i which fell, in folds of massive flesh, like the dew , ,p of a prize-ox. As some surprise was naturally i tpres* iat thi- wonderous exhibition of animal i 'clopmotit, the monster himself gave a grunt, i I airessive of his flattered vanity. l’hev were :ili so immense in flesh, that they ap- i I ired to have lost their distinctive features, and i • rated only fwentv-fivt- masses of fat. Their I 1 v were barely visible through a long perspec- 1 reel socket, the prominence of their noses was I -i iu the puffiness of their bloated cheeks, and ] 3 -ir heads were almost directly set upon their Jii--. with only folds of flesh where the neck ■id chin are usually found. Their great size, , otT-vcr, was more owing to the development ot usrl-; than to the mere deposition of fat; for al- i ugh they wore evidently well-fed, they were not - well exercised and capable of great feats of ■ogtli As a preliminary exhibition of the . iver of these men, the princes set them to re viving the sacks of rice to a convenient place on , -'ime for shipping. All the sacks weighed one wired and twenty-five pounds a piece, and there • only .. couple of the wrestlers who did not •j-h carry two sacks at a time. They bore the -'■As on the l ight "boulder, lifting the first from oi- t aund themselves and adjusting it, but ob= lining aid for the raising of the second. One mu earned a sack suspended by his teeth, and flier, taking one in his arms, kept turning re sited somersaults as he held it, and apparently 'ii as much ease as if his tons of flesh had been y-1 much gossamer, and his load a feather. Alt- r this preliminary- display, the Oomnrission- I proposed that the Commodore and his party old retire to the Treaty House, where they fid have au opportunity of seeing the wrestlers -libit their professional feats. The wrestlers 1 mselves were most carefully provided for, hav . constantly about them a number of attendants, . were always at hand to supply them with which they often required, anu to assist them dressing and undressing. While at rest, they ordinarily clothed iu richly adorne'd robes of ■ usual Japanese fashion ; but when exercising, I • were stripped naked, with the exception of I cloth about the loins. After the performance I U the sacks of rice, their servitors spread upon 1 I huge fj-ames of tlie wrestlers thejr rich gar- I nts. and led them up to the Treaty House. V circular space of some twelve feet in diameter «d been inclosed within a ring, and the ground ' irefuUv broken up and smoothed in front of the j| aiding; while in the portico divans covered with •td cloth were arranged for the Japanese Commis |l aers, the Commodore, his officer*, and their va •■is attendants. The bauds from the ships were 1-- present, aud enlivened the iutervals (luring performance with occasional stirring tunes, h - ■ nas the spectators liad tak«n tlieir seats, ! naked wrestlers were brought out into the ring, eud tae whole number being divided into two op- H 'tag parties, tramped heavily backward and for - 3, l ' king defiance at each other, but not eu in any contest, as their object was merely parade tlieir points, to give the beholders, as it ■■ ir, au opportunity to form an estimate of their Aparativc- powers’ and to make up tlieir betting- j They soon retired behind some screens need tor the purpose, where a)!, with the excep oof two, were again clothed iu full dress, and ' tlieir position on seats iu front of tlie specta- I Tie two who had been reserved out of the band, • r . on the signal being given by the heralds, Asvnted themselves. They came in, one after ", from behind the screen*, and walked with v; and deliberate steps, as be .tine such huge -auiials, into the centre of the ling. Here they ■-J "' ’Ueniselv es, one against the other, at a dis -eof a few yards. They stood for a while eye i each other with a wars look, as if both were '• -aching a chance to catch their antagonist off ins y ur -t As the spectutor looked on aud beheld -■-ese overfed monsters, whose animal natures had > i carefully aud successfully developed, and sc watched them, glaring with brutal ferocity • few a other, ready to exhibit the cruel instincts of • Mvage nature, it was easy for him to lose all :, y of their being human creatures, and to per ' <»de himself he was beholding a couple of brute tfcists thirsting for one another’s blood. iuey were, in fact, like a pair of fierce bulls, ; -«»e nature they had not only acquired, but eveu ■ r and movements. As they continued to "/ vach other, they stamped the ground heavilv, ; -**iiiir. as jt were, with impatience, and then ■ ug their huge bodies, they grasped handfuls fiw earth, and flung it wit i an angry toss over r hacks, or rubbed it impatiently between their • tsstve palms or under their stalwart shoulders. , a ‘y now crouched down low, still keeping their ' Jsed upon one another and watching eneli '"•aent, ;--jd in a moment they had both simul a ” t'ly heaved their massive frames in opuos- I .-"force, body to body, with a shock that might I r s: untied an ox. The equilibrium of their monstrous persons was hardlv disturbed bv their 1 fucoonter, the effect of which'was but barely visi ble in the quiver of the hanging flesh of the’ir bo ; f les - As the J came together, they had flung their brawny arms about each other, and were now en twined m a desperate struggle, with all their strength, to throw their antagonist. Tlieir great muscles rose with the distinct outline of the sculn tiired form of a colossal Hercules, their bloated laces swelled up with gushes of red blood, which seemed almost to burst through the skin, aud their huge bodies palpitated with savage emotion as the strugge continued. At last, one of the antagonists ; fell with his immense weight upon the ground, and being declared vanquished, he was assisted to - ins feet ana conducted from tlie ring. The scene was now somewhat varied bv a change th f, k ‘ nd contest between the two succeeding im el*. T >e heralds, as before, summoned the antagonists, and one having taken his place iu the ting, he assumed an attitude of defens!', with one leg in advance as it to steady himself, and his b«- uy, with his head lowered, placed in position as if lec ®'’ e an attack. Immediately after, in rushed the other, bellowing loudly like a’bull, and, mak- ! leg al once foi the man in the ring, dashed, with his head lowered and thrust forward, against lus opponent, who bore the shock with the steadiness i m 11 f°ck, although the blood streamed down bis face from his bruised forehead, which had been struck in the encounter. This manoeuvre was re- . peated again and again, one acting alwuvs as the opposing and the other as the resisting force, and ; thus they- kept up this brutal contest until tlieir ' fereheads were besmeared with blood, and the i flesh of their breasts rose in great swollen tumor* trom the repeated blows. This disgusting exhibi tion did not terminate until the whole twenty-five j had successively, in pairs, displayed their immense i powers and savage qualities. From the brutal j performance of the wrestlers, the Americans turn- I ed with pride to the exhibition to which the Ja panese Commissioners were now in their turn in vited, of those triumphs of civilization—the tele graph and the railroad. To celebrate tlie occasion of the signing of the treaty, invitations to dinner were exchanged between the Commodore and the Japanese Com missioner.-.. The American feast was to come off j first, and accordingly on the day appointed the i Poirlmttan was made resplendent, with all her streamers flying, and all the spare bunting tastily bung in fanciful devices about the decks and j shrouds. A large number of officers from the va- j rious ships, in full uniform, gathered to assist as hosts during the festival, and the mariners and ! sailors were dressed up and grouped in the most j effective manner. As the Japanese party was to be large and composed of different rank's, it was found necessary to spread two tables, one in the I cabin for the High Commissioners, and another on the quarter-deck, beneath the awning, for the j minor officials; and subordinates. The Japanese j guests arrived in due time aud in great numbers, ! there being no less than seventy in all, and were received with salvos of artillery from the various j ship*, and a cheerful burst of music from the I bands. The five Commissioners were conducted to the cabin, where they were entertained by the Com- j mod ore and several of his slipperier otlicers. | Yenoske, the interpreter, was also allowed, by 1 special favor, to eat and drink in the august pres- | cnee of his superiors, but only at a side table, ! where, however, he showed, though inferior iii dignity, that he was at least equal, if not super! or, in appetite to his betters. The Commodore had not long intended to give this banquet provi- ! tied a successful result to his negotiations should i justify such a conviviality, and had accordingly i kept m reserve half a score of bullocks, a large i supply of Shanghai; fowls, and a flock of sheep or j so, for the occasion. These, together with the or- 1 dinarv cabin stores of pate*, preserved game, vari ous delicacies, and the unlimited resources of the Commodore's French cook, served to spread a feast that was not only substantial and abounding, but choice and appetizing. Wines, liqueurs, arid ! other more potent drinkables, of course, abound- | ed, and were by no means the least appreciated i '".V the guests. The sweetness of the maraschino j found great favor with the tastes of the Commis sioners, while its strength did not seem to raise I any serious objection, although its effect was very perceptible. The Japanese diguataries, with the exception of Haynslii-no-Kami, who ate and drank i sparingly, proved themselves excellent tretchor ni. n and ‘‘lair drinkers.’’ The jovial Mimi-Saki was soon lost to all sense ot Japanese reserve, and passed rapidly, under the combined influence of Champagne, maraschino, and Monongaliela whis- l ky, through all the gradations of bacchanalian delight, until he readied tlie stage of maudlin as- | feotiou, which lie demonstrated rather inconveni ently bv embracing his host, and very seriously j damaging a new pair of gotden epaulets. The party on deck, which was much larger j and more miscellaneous in rank and character, in the mean time, had become very uproarious, after having made way with unlimited supplies I of solid food and numberless bowls of punch. ; Nor were the Japanese satisfied with what they so copiously and indiscriminately appropriated I to their present appetite, but loaded their persons with provisions for the future. The Japanese have a practice of carrying away with them por tions of the feast where they have been guests, ! mol whenever »ierii-ons were entertained hy them, they were expected to do likewise. Each . Japanese carries in a pocket within the breast of ; his robe, a supply of paper for the various pur j poses ..f a pocket handerehief—for he has no oth er --of taking notes, and of wrapping up the rem nants of a feast. To the dinner succeeded an Ethi- . opiun entertainment, got up bv the sailors and negro minstrelsy proved its catholicity of interest b\ being received hy the Japanese with the same "unbounded applause" as in Broadway. A few days subsequently the Commodore and his officers were invited to a return feast by the | Japanese Commissioners. The banquet was j spread in the Treaty House, in the principal hall j of which were arranged narrow benches covered j with red crape. The tables were the same as the J benches, and were raised to a convenient height : for eating by a square lacquered stand placed be- ; fore each gti-.-t. The guests having taken their seats, in accordance with their rank, the Commo- j dote and bis suite being conducted to the dais where the Commissioners presided as hosts, and j the other Americans being arranged along the ta- ! bit s in the lower apartment, the feast, after some { preliminary compliments, began. A number of servitors at once thronged in,bearing upon lacquer ed travs several eat then cups. These contained a thick soup, which was accompanied by a supply ■it sov. or some other condiment. Soup succeeded soup, and soup followed soup again, which seem ed to be the staple article of the entertainment. There was but little difference of taste distinguisha ble by au American palate in these various dishes, and most of them seemed to leave fresh fish as a chief constituent, large portions of which floated in the thick liquid. Between the services of soup, j various sweetened confections and an abundant i supply of gingerbread and other cakes were hand ed around. White the silver vessels which contain- j ed the national drink of fc’pd of whisky ; distilled from nee—were kept/ diligently replen ished. Thesakue cups are mere thimbles in ca- j polity, like those of Loe-Choo, but the Japanese j have acquired fov practice such a facility in filling j and emptying them, that they evidently lose noth- j ing for wantof larger goblets. Toasts and healths ; were passed and the whole assemblage soon be came happy and friendly. At the end of the din- j ner, a uish containing a boiled craw-fish, a piece j of fried eel, and a square shaped, jelly-like pud ding, was served to each guest, w ith the explana tion that he was to carry those articles with him, . or that T1,,.y would he sent after him, as in fact was done. The .Japanese dinner, how ever, had left no . such agreeable impressions upon the Americans that thev cured to have any memorials to perpetu- j ate its taste or memory. Japanese diet seemed j particularly meagre in comparison with American j fare, and soup, however desirable h; :ts proper j place, was found to be but a poor substitute for a round of beef or a haunch of mutton. The Prince ; Tous-Sima, who hud the character of being, like Talevrand, not only an expert diplomatist but a finished gourmand, had brought all the resour ces of his own kitchen, under the immediate su- i perintendenee of hjs far-famed cook, <o Pear upon the dinner, and vet the result was by no means satisfactory to a vigorous nautical appetite. * * ’ «■ * * •* The Japanese are natui.dly social, and freely mingle in friendly intercourse with each other. Woman, too, participates in the enjoyments of so ciety with no more restriction titan with us. Eve ning parties are common to both sexes, where, as in the United States the friendly cup of tea is !i i tided round, and the company is enlivened by the usual gossip and amusements, such as music ami card idaving. it io the jealous watchfulness of the g .verhmeiit alone which prevents the peo pb' fi-oiu the exercise of their natural companiona b'e dipositiop in « friendly communion with for eigners. Polygamy does not prevail iu Japan as in other Oriental countries, and the natural effect is a high appreciation of the female sex, and a reverence tor the domestic virtues. Little was seen of the women; but the Commodore, on otic occasion bad an opportunity of making the ae etiaintance of a circle of Japanese ladies, a visit to whom is pleasantly described in the narrative pub lished bv the Government—a work from which we have condensed several descriptions for this article. The Commodore and his officers were con ducted to the house of the mayor 01 chief mag: isrrate of ttio towji This digjiiiitry, with great cordiality met and welcomed them to the hospi talities (if his establishment. The interior was quite unpretending, consisting of a large room, spread with soft mats, lighted with oiled-paper windows, hung with rudely-executed cartoons, and furnished with the usual red colored benches. The wile and sister of the town official were pre sent, crouched on their knees iu ope corner of the apartment, and smiled a timid welcome to visit ors. Tiiese women were bare footed and bare legged, and wore dressed very nearly alike, in dark colored robes, with much of the undress look of night-gowns, secured by a broad band . passing round the waist. Their figures were fai and dumpy, or, at any rate, appeared so in theii ungraceful drapery; hut tlieir times were not wanting in expression, for which they were very much indebted to tlieir eyes, which were black a> well as theiu hair, that was fastened up at the top of the head like that of the men, although not shaied in from. As their “ruby” lips parted ! of smiling graciously, they displayed a row ,in black teeth set in horribly corroded gums. The married women < ! Jhpan enjov the exclusive privilege of dveing then : teeth, which is done with a mixture of urine, f filings of iron, and sakee, termed oheu/ur or roi/iri. Thi., compound, as might be naturally inferred | from its composition, is neither pleasantly per , turned nor very wholesome. It is so corrosive that, on applying it to the teeth, it is necessary to protect the more delicate structure of the gums and lips, for the mere touch of the odious stud to the flesh burns it at once into a purple, gangrenous spot. In spite of tlie utmost care the gums become tainted, and lose their ruddv color and vitality. A\ e should think that the practice wa> hardly conductive to connubial felicity, and it would be naturally inferred that all the kis,- ing must be expended in the ecstacy of court ship. This compensation, however, is occasion ally lost to the prospective bridegroom, for it is not uncommon for some of the young ladies to inaugurate tlie habit of blacking the teeth upon the poping of the question. The olfccts of this disgusting habit are more apparent from an other practice, which prevails with the Japanese as with our would-be civilized dames that of painting the lip, with rogue. The ruddy' glow of the mouth brings out iu greater contrast the blackness of the gums and teeth. From tin Haiti more S“.n. Congressional. THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS —FIRST SESSION, Washington, April 14.—Senate. -Mr. Harlan i presented an affidavit from Col. Lane on the sub ject of the Kansas memorial, presented the other | day by Mr. Cass, which the Senate refused to re | ceive. Mr. Harlan said that respect for the Senate re | quired him to explain why he should present the second time a memorial from the members of the | provisional legislature of Kansas. He alluded to ! the charge made on Thursday that the paper, with the signatures, were all in the same hand writing, I and which was the reason of it< being called an | impudent forgery. To his mind it was the same thing if his name was attached to a paper bv his j authority in the hand writing of another, as if he had written it himself. Again, if the paper was a ’ copy of the original memorial, the establishment j ot that fact would be proof of its authenticity. [ lie thought it would be a little strange to argue I against the authenticity of the Bible, because wc were unable to lay our hands on the original parcli ! meats, as they came from the hands of the pa | triarelis, prophets and apostles, although those ; parchments have been copied millions of times, and translated into various languages, there were | but a few who doubted the genuineness of the | Bible on that account. -ilr. Harlan proceeded to tell who James H. Lane I is. The first fact about him was that he was a i Democrat, not, by conversion, for he seemed to | have been conceived and brought forth a Demo crat. llis father, Amos Lane, was thrice speaker : of the Indiana House of Representatives, on the . Democratic side, a member of Congress, and a : wheel horse of General Jackson’s administration. Mr. Harlan proceeded to trace the career of Col. ; Lane from his appointment as Postmaster under ' Van Buren, down to the present time. He stated ! his sen ices in the Mexican war, aud alluded to his ! iiaving been a Democratic elector for Pierce anil King. At one o’clock the chair called up the special I order. Mr. Douglas moved to postpone the eonsidera . tion of the special order, so as to let. Mr. Harlan i finish his remarks. When he could obtain the i floor he intended to object to the reception of the papers presented by Mr. 11., and stated that he was prepared to show conclusively that the other petition was a forgery, to all intents and pur j poses. Mr. Weller wanted to know when the Pacific railroad bill would come up. Three weeks ago it had been made the special order for to-day, and if i it was laid over until to-morrow ii would interfere with the Senator from Alabama, Mr. Clay j, who had the floor on the Kansas question. Mr. Douglas urged that this subject ought to be i disposed of without delay, and his motion being agreed to, Mr. Harlan proceeded with his remarks, in the course of which he alluded to Mr Butler, as being ] familiar with the names of Hector, Priam and Nestor, the heroes of the Trojan war, bin said he seemed to be more ignorant oi'the heroes who had fought the battles of his own country. Mr. Butler said that he had sometimes illusive i ted his remarks by allusion to the Iliad, and he j did not know but that the exploits of the battle of Buena Vista would be set to verse, and be -Ivied j ixiinuid. \ Laughter, j He asked pardon of the Senator from lowa for using the word " ; a o, j in his remarks, for he said lie knew about as much of Latin as Mr. Ilarhui did of English. Laugh i ter. | | Mr. Douglas stated the reasons why lie objected . to the reception of the document that the Senate i had once rejected if, and which u was now a; tempted to re-introduce here, As lo the Democ racy of Col. Lane he had nothing, to say now liiat he had fallen from grace So were Francis P. ■ Blair and Andrew J. Bonelson Democrats once ; bat nobody would regard them as such now when j one of them w:'.s]j a loader of the Black Republi cans, and the other was the Know Nothing eandi date for Vice President. He called the document a forgery because it had been materially changed since its reputed signers saw it. Mr. Wade replied to what be termed the pet tifogging arguments of Mr. Dougin:;. Mr. Pugh said that if the General Assembly oi Kansas should adopt ti.o report of the committee of supervision, and send a- prepared by them to the Senate, properly signed and authenticated, it would then be tune enough to receive if. Mr. Hale said that 001. Lane had been accused of fraud or forgery, and his character assailed bv various Senators. What did Mr. Lane do? Hr went home and prepared a .-fateii.cut explaining and vindicating bis character, and praying that bis former memorial be received. The question was : shall a man who is accused be heard in his own defense? If the explanation should be deem ed satisfactory, then the Senate could decide upon granting his prayer and receiving his memorial, which Laid been rejected. Mr. Wilson said that Mr Douglas lmd indulged in partisan catch words unworthy of the Senate. The term Black Republicans bad been applied to the friends of freedom. But. between this and that of border ruffian Democrats the former were ready to take issue before the country It was under the malign influence of Daniel Atehinson, a border ruffian, that secret societies were organized iu Mis souri to plant slavery in Kansas. The Senator from Illinois said he would beat us down, but he can subdue us never! He shall have a majority of members here and in iiie other House, and a man : at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue at the head of the government of the country, conducting it on true Democratic principles, j Laughter.] No doubt of it. Mr. Douglas replied, explaining that he had used the word "subdue” as applicable to the traitors and rebels in Kansas, lie bad used the word ••black” ta designate the Republicans, because ' every clause in their platform rotates to the negro question; and as a substitute for defunct National i Republicans, what more appropriate? Those i principles are sectional and not avowed in the ! slave States. Mr. Wilson -interrupting—said he addressed c | large meeting iu a City Hall in Delaware, on Sat urday, and laid down the doctrines of the Repub ! lican party freely and plainly, which were general ! Iv assen ted to there. The Republicans claim that | their principles arc national, and they will advo cate them in every section of the Union, j Mr. Douglas replied that he trusted wherever ; avowed thev will he as boldly avow ed in the South ! as in the North. As to cue increase of Black tie publican members of Congress, it was accom plished by fusion. The Democratic Presidential : candidate will take i.-sne with that of the Black Republicans of every branch of the latter’s princi j pies, and will boldly go before the country on the Nebraska and Kansas act, and the important doc ! trines it involves, lie refuted what he termed i Abolition libels and foul slanders on him, in vented for partisan and malicious purposes, i owing to his course on the Nebraska and Kansas ; bill. Mr. Wilson, alluding to Mr. Douglas’ remarks about amalgamation, said tlipch.arge usually comes i from men with the odor of amalgamation on | themselves. [Laughter.] lie ! Mr. Wilson ; knew : no reason why a man, because feeble, should be degraded by unjust and unequal laws, lie did not disown the name of Abolitionism. John Quincy ; Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Jay, Hamilton, ’ Franklin, and the men who framed the Constitti tim and carried us through the lire and blood of the revolution were Abolitionists. The Kopuhli ! can party opposes slavery every where, but he would rather die in his place than interfere with it in the States. The people of Kansas were not re bels, but were law-abiding. He thought Mr. Douglas had a hard road to travel- and would ■< alue that those for whom he fought cannot afford to be generous; and would find to bo true the re mark of a once eminent politician: “Gratitude is i a lively sense of favors to come.” Mr. Steuart deprecated the discussion of the delicate and exciting question of sbiyevj here by | those whose openly avowed object is to grasp the reins of power, it hits been seized with the avidi j tv that hungry hounds rush upon a carcass. It ■ grieved him to see urgent business of the country neglected for such unworthy purposes. He thought the remark of Sir. Wilson, that “the South can not be kicked out of the Union,” should have i! been reserved for some other place or occasion. f hi i.iii Mr. Wilson explained—l said that men wdi"o threaten to dissolve the Union cannot he kicked out. I did not use the word South, but I think we shall have no trouble. At the instance of Mr. Steuait, the motion to receive Mr. Lane’s petition was then tabled. Yeas Messrs.

Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, asked leave to submit a resolution closing the present session on the ! 14th of July. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, said that this was intended to smother the Kansas investigation.

The Empire State if the South still ahead in [her j Improcunents. fig Y Ills article will compare favors- M- bly with any of like character in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form 7? Vi 'i of a Soap It gives it a decided advan i|®§f! tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment. or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and . renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm- i less, ns it contains no mercurial or other prepara- i tion injurious to the patient. This article, there- i fore, being highly medicated, w ill cure Ulcers, : Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, ' Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rlioitm, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvv, Sore ! Eyes, Hone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac. extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby I preventing premature baldness. It is also one of ; the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract tar, pailit and grease front clothing, and is also a superior dentritiee to the teeth. For'shaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and curing such sores as may be on the lace. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular ola sores, this soap lias proved a balm indeed, by its wonderful healing powers. I can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but believing that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and wishing to avoid everything like liumbuggery, I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, "not doubting they will then declare this to be the ne plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
