rff the dangerous tendency of this exciting
question. Fanatics arc found in all delib

ings in Congress, to show the excitement
which prevails at Washington.

Another fire-brand was thrown into the
Scnato Chamber Vhis. morning, in the, form

one of unsual excitement. Mr. Slade has

up spontaneously with children to manhood,
you can imagino the character of his Peti

Thompson, Garrison, May & Co, have
written and spoken on the exciting topic

In the very outset of lis remarks.' Ho was
interrupted by Mr, Wish, df Va., f or inti
mating that the motion to lay Abolition me
morials upon tne tame was tno result ol
combination, &c. on the part of Southern
members. Mr, Dawson, of Geo., also cal
led him to order for tho same reference, and
Mr. Slade satisfied tliem by disclaiming all
personal leennganu an personal retcrences
m regard to the charge

the Southern members becdmo more ahd

Mr.i Eawson, Mr. 77-7seand Mr. lihclt
called liim to order. But, from tho nature
of tho subject, which I will explain by and

Mr. lihctl and Mr. 7T"ic at the same

The members objected", and Mr. Slade was
compelled tp 'talio his seat'.

CiDr.n. lanv ncrsons are not aware of
the efficacy of black mustard seed (sinapsis
nigra;) in preventing the acetic fermenta
tion of cider: About a half pint of the seed
put into a barrel of cider, will preserve, it
as swee't, frpm, the,. usual tlmo of making
cider, in autlimn, till the following May, as
the day it was put hi. ( The mustard is of
very easy culture; a few seeds scattered in
softie rich vacant spot, will ensuro a suc

has stood a sufficient leflgth of time, to
leave any that might remain, settle to the
