Congress.
This heretofore high nnl honorable
body, has been turned into a mere
cabal, tho members dvoting all their
time nnd energies in farthering their
own projects, and that of tho negro
race, to the exclusion of everything
Constitutional, or in tho interests of
their constituents.
Wc have heretofore published the
proceedings of this fragmentary and
fanatical body, at considerable length,
to show our readers how far men could
depart from their legitimato duties,
and for tho purpose of instituting n
comparison between the present mem
bership, and those that held seats in
that body during the palmy days of
Democracy ,pcaco, happiness and plen
ty, nnd to still further satisfy them,
that instead of having statesmen at
Washington, as heretofore, to dis
charge tho trusts of a great and free
people, that we havo nothing but a
cross between a knave av.d a fool a
Furitan Philanthropist men who are
jeopardizing tho rights and liberties
of 40,000,000 freemen,' and upturn
ing and razing to tho ground the foun
dation of a great and powerful Hepub
lie, whoso requiem they wo-jld sing
with as much gusto, ns tho attendants
of a negro festival.
In the future, if those political her
etics, happen to do anything for tho
interest of tho whito race, wo will of
courso advise our readers of the facts.
And if they succeed in making white
peoplo out of tho negroes, and in this
manner improvo tho works of tho Cre
ator; wo shall not bo blow in noting
tho facts, 60 that the "whito trash"
may bo enabled to suit themselves to
tho now order of things.
Tho Governor having returned to
our State Capitol, wo will be compell
ed in tho futuro, to chronicle the pro
ceedings of tho Stato Legislature, so
that our readers may also learn the
doings of that "loyal" and dignified
(!) body, which lias heretofore been
engaged in doing nothing. We tin
derstand that tho Governor's Message
was transmitted to the respective hou
ses on Monday last, but not having
seen tho document, wo nro unable to
say whether it U in the interest of
tho whito or the black race.
Taxation Wjtiiovt Kkhikkenta
tion. The brazen impudence, of the
Tax and Stamp officers, at Washing
ton, has never boon equalled except
by that first class knave, George tho
III. of England, and his satraps.
While they deny representation to tho
. peoplo of the Southern States, they at
tho same time fill thoso States with
an armv of "lnval" tax fatherers and
retail stamp agents, who together
with the negroes, are devouring and' sunjeeis mi a more iron win,

The Democratic Senator in this
trict was elected by a majorUy of I!G,
and tho District Attorney by 7 votes,
both their scats wero contested by
their Abolition competitors, the lat
ter in tho Court and tho former in the
Senate, at llarrisburg. Tho Senate
committee refused to count the votes
of non-reporting diluted men, and
thus gave tho seat to tho Abolition
contestant, ousting Mr. Duncan, the
Democratic Senator from bis seat in
that body.
Judge King, however, tho same
week decided that such votes were
legal, and ordered tho certificate to
bo made out to Mr. Stenger, the Dem
ocratic candidate for District Attorney.
Thus the people have another demon
stration of the respect Abolitionists
have for tho clectivo franchise, when
not cast for their poeuliardogmasand
candidates. Tho Abolition Senate--a
branch of tho law making power,
Cuds itself ignoring law, and in open
conflict with the courts and tho liber
ties of the people. A pretty predica
ment for those who claim to be tho
especial guardians of law and morali
ty. If done by any other party, it
would be termed dibloyalty and trea

zens of that State, and lead them to

Passed. The United StatcsSenato,
on Thursday last, by a voto of U7 to
10, passed tho new iXcgro Bureau bill.
This bill creates at least a regiment
of new office holders, at salaries vary
ing from 1,000 to $.1,000, and appro
priates nearly all tho public lands in
the Southern States to tho black pop
ulation. Senator Davis, of Kentucky,
attempted to giveiho bill a proper ti
tle, but was ruled out of order by the
presiding officer.
Mr. Davis moved tu amend the title
of tho bill, so ns to name it a bill to
appropriate a portion of the puolic
lands, and some of the Southern States,
and to authorizo tho Government ofSlates Senator. The House has re
the United States to purchase lands
and supply farms, and build houses for
tho support of the free negroes, to in
vest the Freedinen's Bureau with un
constitutional power to promote strife
between tho two races, etc.

Aiioi.nio.N Stkateuv. Last winter
the loyalists, through Senator Big
ham, of Pittsburgh, reported a bill to
abolish the offico of Surveyor General,
alledging that it was only an expense
to the State, now the same Senator
has introduced a bill doubling tho sal
ary of that officer. Tbo reason for
this loyal trick is, that the incumbent
heretofore has been a Democrat, but
tho gentleman elected for the next
threo years is an Abolitionist. This
accounts for the milk in tho Cocoa
nut. What love those loyal hypocrites
profess for tho taxpayers when the
Treasury doors are closed against
them.
A New D oixiE. Tom A illianis, tho
valorous M. C. from Pittsburg, has
submitted an amendment to the Con
stitution, which if adopted, gives Con
gross tho power to prescribe the qual
ifications of electors in tho States,
thus so far as tho clectivo franchise is
concerned totally ignores tho Consti
tution and the lights of the citizens
in tho several States, a subject never
hinted at before, except by fools.
This is the last "wooden nutmeg"
idea, that has originated in that pro
lific body.
