The President s extreme Southern views ;
ah th culiioct nf Congressional interven-
tion for tbe establishment and protection i
of Slavery in all the U. S. Territories, has
widened the breach between him aod the

Pennsylvania Politics.
Our Member of Congress, Hon. JOHN
W. Killingeb, got the floor one day last
week, and for the time withdrew attention
from Helper's Book and the Negro to tbe
wants of tbe Pennsylvania laborers. lis
said it was not the Slavery issue aloco
which elected 22 out of 25 Members from 1

Mr. Crew, Challeaeed Hts Xuble B.ply.
It will be remembered, that, last year,
tbe Democratic U. S- Senate foisted into j
tbe Post cCce Appropriation Bill, a sec-j

therefore onerous and tj.njcst. But it
was
more than that it was ciearly L'N-
constitutional, as it was a revenue
measure, aod the Constitution expressly
provides that all such measures must or
iginate only with tbe peoplo's branch, the
House. Coming back to tbe House, that
body promptly struck out the invidious
nd illegal section, on motion of Mr. Groa,
sustained by all the Republicans and about
30 Northern Democrats. The House then
passed, immediately, another bill covering
tbe same appropriations precisely, but
omitting tbe section raising the rates oft

Senate, refused to pass this latter Bill
bat declared their bill should pass, or
there should be no appropriation. For
once, the House adhered to their rights
stood firm to tbe interests of the people
refused to be driven into an uufair and
unconstitutional measure by the bullying
attitude of the majority of the Senate, (in
which the Republicans stood by tbe Hoose)
and the lull fell ; there was no appro-
priatioo to carry oo the mail service, j
which bat been kept up balance of former j
appropriations, aod oo trust. j

When Congress met, aod the South
by their violeuce had kept tbe House
three weeks from orgaoixing, Mr. Grow
among others urged ao organization for
tbe purpose of furnishing aid to tbe mail
eon tractors, who, as well as tbe Govern
ment, must suffer great losses if payment
was delayed beyond the New Year.. .There

Mr. Grow was prevented from replying tu
at the time.

bivcly that the House bad done every -

The result of this denial of the untrue,

having made the personal attack and then
