WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
In connection with our distracted country,
there is at present so many conflicting feelings
ofliope, sorrow, foreboding and congratulation,
that to refer to the past in quest of themes for
discussion, seems like a superfluous and an idle
task. , The present is big with s mighty strug
gle for a mighty object, and •yet there is no di
lemma in which the present can place the na
tion,lbut for which the past affords come sacred
courmil or admonition ; and it *would perhaps
hive been moteconducive to our national peace
and prosperity, had that past been more revered,
and the actions of those who shed honor and
glory on the infancy of the Republic, more
closely imitated. In a crisis such as that which
now surrounds us, with the jealousy of- one
section aroused in bloody anger against this
intelligence and progress of the other, there
seems to be rq more fitting words to aid in
overcoming snob a strife, than the solemn and
Subli'me' utterances of the Father of his Country.
If like SdvicS of ; Washington had been heard
When the Constitution was formed, the cause
and the influences now of rebellion, would then
have not been aoffered to survive for such
chief. He Understood and comprehended the
power and the influence which the right of one
chest to , barter In the flesh of another, wonid
eventually create:and stimulate. Re beheld 'in
the locilpient, condition of slavery, the seed, of
a great moral contest, and therefore most ear
nestly opposed,' while he lived, its acknowledg
tient as a political element; and befere he died
,
set the seal of his disapproval on the institu
tion by . liberating his slaves, and, recording
his sentiments , against slavery. The condi
tion of the nation justifies such allusions
in' this connection, though we desire more
iiityti4ularly to refer to the fact dist the
tiff pet timent,which Washington bequeathed
to..the whole country, is now repudiated by a por
tion of the people of that country, while the
other 'portion still cling to and defend it, as
ihitin'erdi would defend their lives. The Unkei
tifthe/Lineriean States, was the great object for
*doh' Washington struggled. While he lived
his solicitude and his prayers were all 'devoted to
that Unkin. He' esteemed it as of far more
liana tlitiq any other feature of the govern-
R4l44,,because without Union, there could be
no perfect government. The mere interests of
lobalities were of small importance compared .
ktheperpetulty of that Union, 'Mit had a
lasting significance in the estimation of Wash
ington; whioh exceeded all other considera
tfotte;' and while; he lived, monopoliasd . byt

IT HAS BEEN TESTED
Slavery, for a time, existed in all the states
of the Union. It was imported with the emi
gration of the early fathers, not, however, as
an object of barter and sale, or an institution
of political control and influence. In the early
years of the Republic, it was scarcely consid
ered an evil, because it had not, then assumed
the fearful magnitude and domineering spirit
which it has since developed. When these
characteristics began to be displayed, the
_people of the northern states also began to rid
themselves of the, nuisance by abolishing the
evil. The eastern states, a itb, New York and
Pennsylvania, struck the manacles front their
slaves, expunged . the odious privilege to buy
and sell human flesh from their statute books,
eo that these commonwealths gradually and
grandly pursning . their glorious destiny and
free develoinnent, at length almost forgot in
their own wonderful growth and wealth, that
Eltt*tiivie itiNispinee, that it WO an John
ence, add least of all that h was controlling
the government. Bat from this dream of po
litica,' modal and busineis security, they were
suddenly awakened in 1832-48, when the south
ern states, in the -ntitod , or slaiteiry, airnitantly
claimed the right and boeiisted the power to nul
lily the solemnly enacted laws of the United
States That =wars; tiWfing_fie*ADWation , of
slavery azaittate=freOprn. 7 The! plot was care
fully arranged in all itedetalls, and failed only
because the leaders bad inistalteretheir caßacity
for filiteilion. r : They did not leak design, deter
ruination or will—but 'they Jacked the force of
numbed'', and theraforelhey inbinitted with an
ilrgrace to the authority of the government .
But from 11393' to 1881;lhese men, in the name
and for the proMulgatka and strengthening of
slavery, have_ been busily at work, organising
their hosts—disciplining , their numbets-tar
ranging their plans end fixing their points of
attack: NO carnmign was ever more maturely

it lae been tried, and now, in the heaFing of
the world, it announces, iteelf the enemy of
freedom; by founding a goverrdnent essentially
on its own merits'. • •
Since slavery has tt:# been tested, and since
• -
it, has avowed Its antagonism to a free govern,
ment, is not the question pertinent, as to the
policy of testing theeal4y,Of freedoniby eman

is thus arrayed against the government, and
declare the territory free T The experiment
cannot result in worse danger'to the freeitates
or to the UniOn, than slavery has proven iteeli
to be at all times and under all circumstances.
We do not ask for immediate and general
emancipation. We do not demand that slavery
shall be abolished hi ' A K it ? .B states ; nor do we
hold to the doutrine that general emancipation
would result in the physical or moral Improve=

fanaticisM which always injures and impedes a
good cause. What we have a right to a& and
anticipate is, that wherever the 'imarielPation

TIO3 INAUGURATION OP 117 T. 'DAVIS.
To-d4Y haii 'been upori' by traitori and
rebels for the inauguration of the chief of the
incendiary, and asnlassian horde. Since Mrs.
Davis indulged. the boasting that shit would
receive company in the `iVhitelhotum at
,Wash
ington,the trims have changed,and the circum
stances. under which she ; indulged .her boasts
have been also -materially altered. When' she
thus made her arrogant boast, it was :ihne
'
&red opinion of the traitor* ;of the ,
south,
that the Capture ,of Washington :city would
be the smallest of !lbw achievement of ' the
rebellion, while' to' conquer the smile 'cOmitiy
they. Would require ippiy, Its occupancy by the
chivalry, t 4 once to induce the coward north to
yield. One year agO, when DavisVi7n3 first in

what: the:people of the jo,Val Stater; lld not„

reckoning, on aid, and co-operation, too, in
more than one of the states of the North.
The news of the past week must have a sad
dening and a crashing effect upon the feeling@
of the leading traitors. They mast see that
these events are decisive, and, that to their ar
mies, now broken and disheartened by success
ive discomfitures, nothing remains unless it is
desultory struggles here and there, in a cause
moat clearly hopeless. Will that inauguration
take place at Richmond to-day ? If it does, it
will be rather an occasion of funeral solemnity,
and for the pageantry of . mouming and burial,
than a great public holiday and festival.—
What words of cheer or encouragement can
even that audacious and unscrupuloirs chief
pronounce, by way of inaugural adddress, to
such a crowd as can be gathered in capitol
square at Richmond?
The downfall of the rebellion is at hand, and
it will probably be quite as sudden as its formi
dable uprising. Davie may go through the
Ceremony of a new inauguration, but it is safe
to predict he will not long remain, at Rich-
Mond, or wield the executive power anywhere
for three months longer, unless as a refugee,
like Claib. Jackson, inning proclamations to a
people among whom be dare not show his face.

THE TWENTY-SEOONTI AT WASHINGTON
• All the federal and corporation offices are
closed, as well as most of the business houses.
There was a continuous firing of salutes this
morning at all the claire, in honor of the day.
The Hall of the House of Representatives be
ing the great scene of attraction,
as early as
91 o'clock the genetics, set apart for the pub
lic, were densely crowded, while the doors
leading! thereto were blocked with standing oc
cupants: The . portions of the galleries reserved
fur the families of the Diplomatic Corps and
those of other invited spectators and of mem
bers of Congress, were gradually filled accord
ing to their convenience. Tickets had been is
sued to them, andin order to aVoid confusion,
there was many polite door-keepers and ushers
to vary out this part of the programme, and
additional chairs had beau provided on
the floor of the hall to seat about 600 persons.
Immediately over the Speaker's chair was a
large painting of Washington, surrounded
by a gilt eagle, and over this a golden
starred American flag, while from each of
the upper corners of , the painting hung ban
ners of a smaller pattern. Crowds continued
to penetrate the Capitol, and many persons
were unable to obtain admission. The ioterval
between eleven and one o'clock was relieved by
scenes in the galleries. Some of trio door occu
pants would loudly and imploringly call totthers
who were crowding behind not to , precipitate
them on the heads of those comfortably and
enviously seated below them. Occasionally a
boy would be lifted over the heads of the spec
tators to a seat fie front, amid the laughter of
the spectators. Living subjects usurped the
various niches designed (dove for inanimate
statuary. Members of the House occasionally
entered the hall and took seats. Impatient
cries continued to be uttered in the galleries
for the crowd at the door to fall back, and calls
for the police frequently reso inded, but met
with no response.

At the request of the Fpeaker, the members
proceeded to occupy seats on the left of the

Mr. BLAIR (Ho) made an ineffectual sugges
tion that the ladies in the lobbies be admitted
to unoccupied spaces on the floor.•. -
:The Spitaxita requestecl.those in the galleries
to preserve order; aiming that if decorum be
violated, It would become his disagreeable
dilly to have them cleared.
Mr. Carrrstons, (Ky.) said that the joint
resolution relative to the celebration , did not
contemplate the
this
of • Bad, and-he
therefore moved this be committed as a part of
the-ceremonies.
Mr. LOVEJOY, all j supposed from the gene
ral tenor of Mr. Crittenden:a remarks, hereto
fore, that be would not oppose what any mili
tary man desired, and this flag presentation had
been arranged by the War Department.
Mr. DAWES, (Ifass.,) inquired, bow could the
flags be presented if Congress will not take
them. He did not propose to magnify the rebel
flags in this way, and hoped that they would
respectfully decline to receive them.
Mr. CAMPBELL, (Pa ) s.id that these were
trophies wonby our officers and brave soldiers
is hotly ooateneci $4lO ;he would ..itat. mag
nify the flag but would inagni.the deods of
our 'iuirtieN, and trusted'-that badges' or
flags would be re.teived:mrlth reaped,
Mr. Roscoe Coractutet,(X.. T.) remarked that
these flags were not trophies, to , be treated
either with respect or:the consideration of our
Government. He submitted that they are
badges or tokens carried by armedlebels, men
red-handedyrith murder of citisensof their coun

flags and-whom we do not reeognize in any
material aspect: :_:Suppose . there .thed 'Ocurred

of 'the conspirators.;. Did any one • suppose
that they abdid ha rObsived with self respect or
public decency ? It not, why should Congres s
accept the presentation of these figs , nothing
more than tok, us coming simply from rebels of
no national standing. Ile would go as far as any
other gentleman in this House or out in his
respect and admiration for those who have left
their homes to sustain on distant battle fields
the existence of this government, but he wished
on this occasion to act in a manner consistent
with self respect and official propriety.
Mr. CLKYBELL presuming that his previous
remarks had been misunderstood explained that
be would receive these flags and tokens in re
spect to the bravery of our troupe.
Mr. LOVEJOY caused to be read the law of
1814 and °lBlB, to the effect that the Secretaries
of the War and Navy be directed to cause to be
collected and tr .nsmitted to them all flags,
banners and colors which may have been or
shall - be taken hereafter by the army and navy
from the enemy, and that all of them, together
with those in the possession of those Depart
ments shall, with all consistent despatch, be
delivered to the President, for the purpose of
being displayed in such public places as may be
deemed proper.
Mr. Lento*/ said this was the law, that by
receiving these flags we would recognise a
rebel government, was the most absurd Idea
ever originated in the brain of man. He we+
willing to receive every rebel flag, the more.
the better, In respect to the breve men who
captured them.
Mr. EDwaitPa, (N. H) expressed himself in
favor of carrying out the arrangement for the
presentation of flags.
Mr. Perna. (Wie.) in apparent seriousness,
rose to a question of order. It was that the
gentleman was speaking with his back to the
chair. (Laughter.]
Mr. EDWARDS smilingly said. I did not wish
to turn my back to the ladies. [Laughter.]
He would receive the flags in honor of our gal
lant soldiers.
The II , PEAXER appealed to the galleries on an
occasion like this to preserve order, to refrain
from applause, and to observe due propriety.
Mr. RIOHABDIPON. The gaUeriee are behaving
better than we are.
The question was taken on the ado.)tion of
Mr. Crittenden's motion, and resulted in yeas
90, nays 61.
Mr. CElTrrornis moved that the vote be re
considered and that the motion be laid on the
table.
Mr. El/08111AN moved a call of the HOMO, ba
while engaged in this proceeding, the hoar ar
rived for the commencement of the ceremonies
The centre door was thrown open and the
Vice President and Secretary of the Senate
