SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT
OF COLIMBLI. •
The abolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia, has been engaging the atten
tion of Congress almost ever since the be
__ ginning of the present session ; and, at
present, there are several bills for that ob
ject up for consideration in the Senate.—
The constitutional power of the govern
ment to pass an act of emancipation, ap
pears to,be acknowledged by almost every
one, except extreme Southerners; the pol
icy and character of the act appears to be
the only real question of difficult solution.
Some are for submitting the question to a
vote of the people of the District; some
are for gradual, while others are for imme
diate emancipation. A few are favorable
to setting the slaves loose without compen
sation to their owners; some are for com
pelling said owners to pay the slaves the
amount they have made off their labor,
while others are willing to pay from the
national Treasury the price necessary to
. have slavery abolished in the Capital of
our country. —This contrariety of opinion
upon this subject, even in the ten-mile
square, is visible among the Republicans
• themselves, which demonstrates the inabil
ity of that party for practical and enlarged
legislation.
From the halting and hesitancy of some
ultra Abolitionists in the Senate, we infer
that that fraternity have found several for
midable obstacles to their schemes ot
Southern emancipation. Mr. Sumner.
whose resolutions in favor of confiscation.
are quietly sleeping upon the table. now•
avows himself favorable to paying the
slaveholders of the District for their "prtip
erty.'• He argues against the principle of
"property in man," and goes back to the
days of the "great Gregory, Pontiff of
Rome," to prove how slavery in that
early day, scandalized religion; but after
all the learned gentleman's fine sentences
he announces himself willing to pay some
$260 for the freedom of each slave in the
District of Columbia. This appears to be
sliding down from the pinicle upon which
Mr. Sumner planted himself at the begin
ing of the session, proclaiming universal
emancipation, and confiscation throughout
the rebel States. The $250 a piece, allu
ded to, Mr. Sumner calls the "ransom"
of the slaves ; not purchase money but
"ransom." In the meantime all the
slaves worth anything in the District, are
being moved off to Maryland and Dela
ware; those remaining being small chil
dren, and old men and women who are a
burthen to their owners. These can be had
without difficulty at the price proposed.
MASON IN PARLIAMENT.
A private letter from London, received
by a gentleman in Washington, describing
the debate in Parliament upon the Ameri
can question, says:
"Mason, who was on the Tory side o
the Mouse; did not at all like the way it
went. Members who were near him I Ma
son) say that he cheered when- Mr. Lind
say, in the course of his speech, attacked
Secretary Seward. This puts him in an
awkward fix. When I remember his inso
lentand tyrannical bearing in the United
States Senate. it was sweet revenge to sec•
him thus solitary and alone during the
debate—only one or two men went near
him."
This doesn't look as if the "Envoy Ex
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
of the Southern confederacy" had pro
duced 80 greats sensation in England as
his friends predicted. It is said that Ma
son is of English extraction; that one of
his blood, in the days ofJames the Second,
figured in Parliament. This is the reason,
we presume, that the Virginian desires to I
figure there now. He, when heapplauded
Mr. Lindsay for his attack upon Mr.
Seward, like Edgar, of Raveswood, im
agined himself in the gorgeous halls of his
ancestors. But Mason. we suspect, traces
his pedigree too far hack to be effective.
At the period referred to—the reign of
James the Second—the English arrivals in
Virginia were nearly all convicts, sent out
or transported by the mother government.
The first of this Mason connection was ev
idently a follower of King James, and after
that imbecile Monarch's 'defeat in Ireland,
where he abandoned his gallant Irish le
gions and cried out to them to "spare his
English subjects," Mason, like his master,
retired from the country upon compulsion
—the King to die - in exile of a broken
heart, and Mason to become the root from
which would spring the first - rebel commis
sioner of the Southern Confederacy.
It is said that "age is nothing" and that
"blood will tell ;" for ourselves we can't
see it in the case of Mason.. He traces the
-pure stream of his golden blood back for
over two centuries, and finds it beginning
with a loyal follower of a poltroon men
arch, and now running sluggishly through
the veins of a rebel against the best gov
ernment on earth. Blood is nothing; what
we call such is nothing but the -brat of
custom; in the case of Mason it began with 1 1
a convict aiiid - ends, as is usually the case.
with a piece of pompous nobility tumbled
into decay. Let us, therefore, hear no
more of the first families of Virginia, but
tarn our attention to the discovery of a
daioendent of the second family, if such a
nondescript can be found in the Ancient
• Dominion. In the meantime let Minister
Mason applaud whom he pleases in the
lbslish Parliament; it cannot damage the
4. ,
3Nricen government.

Meeting of Tax Payers in Jeffer
son Township.
According to previous notice, a Meeting
Of the tax payers ttl Jefferson Township
was held at the , ekitil house. near Win.
on the 2!ch day of March. 15 , ;2.
The meeting wr, organized by electing
Henry Herb. Esq.. to the chair, and Thos.
F. Snee, Secretary. The object of the
meeting .was staled; after which the fol
lowing persons were appointed a Com
mittee to draft resolutions expressing the
sense of the meeting, viz : Wm. Lowrie,
Josiah Aber, J. Pierce, Fr. Snee, Esq..
Geo. Fumbo. Jer. Stilley. S. Castor,
S. Wicks, and Benj. Gillmore, who pre
sented the following preamble and result
tions, which were taken up, discussed, and
adopted seriatim :
WHEREAS, The tax-payers of Jefferson
township feel themselves outraged (not
withstanding the decision of our Courts,)
by an attempt ou the part of persons hold
ing bonds purporting to be issued by the
proper authorities of Allegheny County
to Railroad corporations to enforce the
collection of a tax to pay said bonds or
the interest thereon.
Asp WHEREAS, It is asserted in the dec
laration of our National Independence,
thatall law derives its power from the con
sent of the governed, and that we nererga
t-e
our consent to the issue of said bond
and further, that our system of education
and religious institutions would b e i n a
great degree crippled and we be unable to
pay the tax for the support of our gov
ernment and the suppression of the re
bellion now existing, and for the support
of our institutions in general, and that
our County would be precipitated in bank
ruptcy and ruin.
Resolved, Therefore that we do not re
gard it to be rebellion against our govern
went or proper laws, to utterly refuse to
pay any tax which we know to be the
purpose above named.
Resolved, That we will operate upon the
Legislative Judiciary and Executive De
partments at the ballot-box. and all other
favorable opportunities, against any per
son whom -we know-to be favorable to the
payment of said tax.
Resolved, That we will regard it as an
infringement upon our rights for any col
lector, constable. sheriff; pr ether persons,
to interfere with our property as far as
the collection of said tax is concerned.
Resolved, That the influence of wealth
and party feeling has been wielded to the
injury of tax-payers, in the course which
has been pursued against the payment of
the aforesaid tax.
Resolved. That we will pay our war,
Militia, Relief, State, County, (proper)
Poor, Road and School tax, without a
murmur, but a tax to pay the interest upon
Railroad bonds or the bonds themselve s ,
we will resist at all hazards.
Resolved, That the Controller is request
ed to call a convention of the people of
Allegheny County to prescribe a course to
be pursued in the present difficulty.
Resolved, Thata copy of the
office o above reso
lutions he forwarded to the f the
Post, Gazette, Chronicle and Dispatch. for
publication in their weekly issues.
Who Plans the Victories.
A Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican gives the following
Interesting bit of testimony, which concurs
with a multitude of others, to show that
our recent course of victories has been the
result of chance or impulse.:
" The subject was under discussion at a
dinner table where Gen. Banks was pres
ent; and he, who, by the way, stands by
Gen. McClellan most loyally, quietly re
marked that while in consultation with
Gen. McClellan last November or Decem•
her, the latter incidentally took down a
map, and pointed out to him upon it every
movement that has since been made by our
armies ; and, as to Manassas, said that we
should either drive the rebels from it in a
successful battle, or they would evacuate it
of their own accord.
Movements on the• Tennessee.
The Memphis Appeal of the 19th last
says :
Our latest intelligence of the movements
of the enemy is that a large force has been
landed on the west bank of the Tennessee
at Chalk Bluffs, twenty-six miles from
Corinth. At this point it is said they have
thrown up defensesofconsiderablestrength
and extent. They have also commenced
the construction of a road in the direction
of Corinth, seven miles of which have
alreidy been completed. Their force
now concentrated on the river is variously
estimated st from forty. to sixty thcineand.

ble array of J. B.'s the Gazette facetiously
adds:
"Could not the editor of the Post sug
gest another notorious 'J. 8.,' that is.. if
small things can be compared to great ?"
We could suggest another J. 8., only for
fear of spoiling the uniformity of Ether
idge's structure. His J. B.'s are either in
retirement, in the rebel ,:ervice or in the
grave, while the other J. B. not only
alive and kicking, but the true and perfect
image of life itself. "John Brown's soul, —
so the song says, "is marching on," but
the direction it has taken is not mentioned:
at all events our business is at present to
let it march, while we stay here march
ing after his abolition, disunion followers
with a 'sharp stick."
NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.
Our afternoon neighbor. the Chronicle,
is surpassing even itself in enterprise; it
yesterday published under the head of
"special dispatches to the Evening Chron
icle,— dated Philadelphia, April 2d, the
opinions of the English Press upon the
President's Emancipation Message, which
came here early in the morning, published
in the New York and Philadelphia papers.
The New York Herald used to be charged
whh writing its own foreign correspond
ence in its office: hut this dodge of the
Chronic/es in manufaeturing its own
"special dispatches. — tele::r.phed •`exclu
sively to itself' and at an — Oll/4111011S ex
pense" surpasses even that, rather clever
performance. Our object in noticing this
is to inform our readers that the foreign
news alluded to, published in this morn
ing's Post. was in 4 copied from the chro n ..
/dc's "private" dispatches.

FOREIGN IMPRESSIONS
•
The English Press on American
Affairs.
The English press continues to occupy
itselt with our troubles. The London
Times has an article predicting an almost
endless war, hints at the ultimate dictator
ship of a military leader as the upshot of
the rebellion, and squints at the condition
of Mexico, to which, it says, the Western
States of Europe have offered a constitu
tional monarchy. instead of a republican
constitution, which has had no existence
except in altarnateanarehy and despotism.
and it adds :--This is an age of reaction
fin- which •letimeracv has to thank itself.—
The Dictator. the Emperor or the King,
is everywhere SI/ perceding the farces ofthe
consul or the paper scheme of the lawgiv
er. When - we are told that everything else
is impossible in America, and that politics
are absorbed in the chances of war and the
genius of the: commanders,. then, indeed.
we see the beginning of the end, But that
end is not the one desired by either North
or South, nor even by us who look on. It
cannot be for our interest that u military
ad venturer should possess the fairest regions
of North America, even though that were
better than anarchy. But it is the haven
towards which the great American C01110:1011-
wealth seems now drifting. It is possible.
That is enough, when everything else is
confessed to he impossible."
The Effect of Federal Sueceseo
upon the People or 'France.
i The Paris correspondent of the London
Time.says: "The late success of the Un
ion troops in North America have created
a belief among French merchants.rhat an
arrangement will shortly take place by
which an end will be put to civil war, and
that commercial relationswill be resumed.
This report has had a favorable effect in
the manufacturing districts, particularly at
Lyons."
PROM THE SOUTH
Trade With Europe.
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th
flays :
It is known that for some days past
Congress has been discussing in secret
session the propriety of sending additional
commissioners to Europe to negotiate a
sale of the entire cotton crop on foreign
account, assuming its purchase by this I
government. • The discussion in secret
session took a very different direction
from what was primarily intended, jt be
ing moved that our present einbassies to
Europe should be recalled; and that our
diplomatic relations with Eirigland and
France should be terminated for the pres
ent. This proposition has been renewed
in open session of Congress, and is under
stood to be chiefly intended as;an example
of spirit and resentment at the shuffling
and selfish policy, especially of the
English Government on the question of
our recognition
The Confederate Navy.
Congress has not removed the in
(junction of secresy from any of the re
ports of the heads of departments with
the exception of that of the Postmaster
General. The Richmond Examiner learns
however, that the estimates of the Navy
Department have been largek increased
under the secret acts of the Provisional
Congress; which have authorized the en
! liatment of two thousand additional sea
man, and Jame additions to the omcers of
the navY. 'rim dicers ofthe navy author

The Washington Republican was in

of them ever Ead anything to do with it.—
The Attorney General has decided that

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
whose letter is dated March 28th, says:
The progress of our plans for surroud

you are already acquainted, is satisfitetory,
and we ex poet a speedy denouement.—
When it comes there will be desperate
fighting, for the rebels rightly regard the
place a stronghold ofimmense importance.
and, besides all that, they hare had a les
son in the Fort Donelson affair which
shows very plainly what the disposition of
the Confederate authorities is towards stir
rendoring officers. The disgrace of
Pil
low and Floyd will be a talisman of warn
ing to rebel officers, and. if I judge the
consequence aright, we shall have but few
bloodless victories hereafter.

My Dear Si —I am now seventy-nine years old
and for the last twenty-eight years have been :
eonstant user of your Vegetable Universal Pill
when sick, fully realizing the advantage of en
forcing purgation with a medicine, which, while
I harmless in its nature, removes all impurities. I
can safely say that vigorous old age I now enjoy
has been caused mainly by the timely use of
Ilrandreth's Pills. I have had in these last twen
ty-eight years several fits of sickness, and occa
sionally some infirmity of age would press upon
me. At these time I have always found your
pills a sure remedy, giving me not only health but
strength. I consider them, not only invaluable
as a purgative, but also as a tonic. I have never
during the last twenty-eight years used any other
medicine whatever, being ponvinced, by experi
ence. that none was us good. Brandreth's fills
have also been freely used by my neighbors in
every kind of sickness, and have been never
known to fail when promptly administered.
