In politics, as in everything else, there is a
point beyond which forbearance ceases to be
virtue. Th • question of slavery has ever
been a most dillicrAt one, and the Democratic
party,' has, for many years, labored honestly,
fairly !and devotedly, to allay and quench the
fires of discord which it has engendered be-
tween the Northern and Souther❑ portions of
the Republic. The Democrats of the North.
placing themselves , upon the broad ground of
nonNiUtervention with the institution of slav-
ery where it already exists, have faithfully
adhered to the great national principles of
their! party. For this they have been reviled
by the extremists of the opposition, and they
have' borne it patiently, for they expected
nothing else at their hands. But from our
DernOcratic brethren of the Southern States,
_we ba l d a right to expect better things. We
have to yield so much—we have had to
swallow so many things which were distaste
ful to us, for the sake of preserving the first
great democratic principle of national unity,
and for the sake of political peace with mar
brethren of the South, that at the least we
shout!' be spoken of by them in terms of re
spect. We have taken our conservative posi
tion as much for their sake as our own, and
have l a just right to complain when they treat
us with overbearing insolence, and speak
of uin terms of contumely and defiance. Our
Southern neighbors must recollect that the
North is not a mere " handful of men," to
be directed and disposed of according to the
wishes of leaders governed by sectional preju
dice and sectional interests—it is composed of
States which are nations in themselves, and
possessing within themselves the wealth, the
resources, the patriotism and the pride of
nations. As component parts of the Federal
Union, they have felt it their duty to forget
all sectional feelings and .make a sacrifice of
them upon the altar of their country's good.
The Democrats of the North had a right to
expect that the South would meet them upon
this platform of conservatism and compro
mise. We are their cretlitors,nnt they ours. In
the great union of sovereignties, the States
North of Mason and Dixon's Line have au ad
vantage, over those South of it in all the,
great elements of national prosperity. In
population, in agricultural, and commercial
resources,—in education and in wealth, the
South must yield us the palm, and in politi
cal power we have shown by the election-4)f
James Buchanan to the Presidency, that we
are not weak. 'I he South cannot get along
without the North, and they know it. Why is
it then that almost daily in the public press
of the South and .n the speeel•es of her public
men, the'feelings of every Northern man —ca.
thinly those of every Northern Democrat, are
outraged? These gentlemen of the South are
too apt to insult the l lemocracy of the North
by their wholesale flings at the geography of
the country, and strong in the conscious hon
esty of their purpose, they will not hear these
insults with patience much longer.
These remarks have been elicited from us by
the perusal of a message of Governor Runnels
t the Legislature of Texas', upon the Kansas
quesigon,which, we find in Sunday's New York
Herald - , At first we were inclined to regard
the docniknent as an invention, but upon care
ful rerusal We believe it genuine. Its entire
tone is that ed attempting to wield the rod of
terror over the North. Read the following
extract from this precious docriment. 'Gover
nor Runnels says :
'.'Confidence ceases to exist when all moral obli-
gations are dteresaided The North will have no
claim to the confidence:of the South, if ehe again
refuse compliance, since she has to often hereto
fore failed to respect her obligation. The history
of • the action of our Northern brethern presents
bad faith in unbroken continuation. The time
for compromise has now passed away, and better
for the republic had it never been. The past and
present prove that we are not even to expect the
observance of a truce under them. Under every
concession the South has made, her enemies have
gaiued new accessions to their strength. Kan
sas is the last out post ; and is there any one
willing to believe, if now tamely surrendered,
the next attack will not be upon the institu
tions of the State, without organization end
concerted movements on their part for defence
What is to be expected of the representatives
of States, such as Vermont and Massachusetts,
on a question involving the domestic institutions
of the South?—States 11, while they are re
ceiving all the advantages and participating in
all the blessings of the Union, stand out right
in open nullification of the constitution and
lawsi These States have a voice in deciding
every question, equal to the most loyal of the
Union. Their representatives occupy positions
in the Senate's forum Unlike the Roman con
spirator, they meet not the withering condemna
tion of their associates, but are received in full
fellowship; and with an impudence and contu
macy equal to his, they continue to sit as law
givers and judges by authority of the instru
ment they have sworn iu their hearts to pervert
and violate. Well may it be believed that evil
times have come upon the republic, and that her
days are numbered, when such men possess suf
ficient strength to render doubtful the result of
questions involving the peace and perhaps the
existence of the government.
"Justice and fair dealing are not to be expected
of those whose conscience no compact can bind
with cords strong enough not to be broken. It
is to their behests that crouching sycophancy
and unprincipled demagoguism bend the sup
pliant will, and before the sirocco lasts of whose
opinions the timid faltering and the weak giving
way throughout the frac State."
The Democracy of the North, who have
yielded so much for the sake of peace, must
not be insulted in terms like these, by the
South which has yielded nothing. To this
they ought not and will not tamely submit.—
They-claim to be in the right, and to exercise
the great moral power which this position
necessarily confers. If aggression there must
be, let the opponents of the Democracy be the
aggressors. What reason is there that the Ex
ecutive of Texas, or any other Southern State,
should thus denounce the North? Is it any
wonder that the sensibilities of Northern men
are oceas'onally fretted beyond prudence and
endurance when assailed in terms like these?
These hot-blooded Southerners seem notto un
derstand the very axioms ;of the Federal
compact. It is a system of mutual faith—mu
tual rights—mutual benefits and reciprocal
confidence. What is it. but mutual confidence
which prevents this world from becoming a
.social chaos ? Human governments—human
society itself exists by confidence. Destroy
it, and all social and commercial intercourse
is at an end. Destroy confidence and you
disolve this Union, and where the star span.
gled banner of the tree now waves in triumph,
the armed sentinels of an iron despoism will
soon keep watch. These Southern men must
not permit their fanatical devotion to the in
stitution of slavery (which we DeinOcrats of
the North only tolerate because we love the
Union—we do not love it,—) carry them "to
the extent of this, impugning the honesty of
our - motives, and the sincerity of our purposes
The principles of . the National Democracy—
their end and aim is, equal rights to all, and
the preservation of the Union. Upon this plat
form the Democrats of the South, and of the
North should stand alike. When common
dangers threaten, they should invoke a gee,
eral defence, and no where have we a right to
look for resignation and forbearance more
than in the South, Is it for the South thu ,
to outrage every principle of political morality
and social honor? Are these hot-blooded and ,
sweeping denunciations of the North,a proper
return for the patriotic and conservative spirit
which the Northern Democracy have evinced
upon this question? If in their hot blood
Lhey drive us from our present attitude to one
of aggression—that moment will be sounded
the death knell of this glorious, this blessed
Union—this Union whickis the first of freegov
ernments--the work of our forefathers, cons
structed, with a common hand for a mutual
benefit to their posterity. If such doctrines
are common in the South, as those which Gov.
Runnels has enunciated, the word needs but
to be spoken to shiver the glorious fabric,
and the end of our great experiment of self
trovernment, is at hand. We love this Unioin
as the palladium of our liberties, and because
we believe its continuance essential to the very
existence of our rights. But if the South prp•
mulgates doctrines of passion and fanaticisili
like this—if the people of the South listen 4)
men who are swayed by hot blooded and nit.
governable impulses,totally regardelss of reason
or patriotism, or right—what can we look for .
but the horrors of civil war—when the broth
er's hand shall be reeking with a brother's
blood, and the son of freedom shall be dark
ened in domestic discord and national anar

F`B OIVI I-1 A RRISBURG.
HARRISBURG, FebrUary 223, 1858
The Telegraph, on Friday, made a slight error
in stating that the act repealing the collateral in
heritanc, tax law, had passed the House, and
been sent to the Senate. It did not receive a
baker's dozen of votes, and rightly too. This
collateral inheritance tax—this tariff on the es
tates of dead men who have no family—is the
most indirect mode of taxation, and should not
and will not be repealed. Besides, it is pledged
to the sinking fund for the redemption of the State
debt. It amounted last year to the handsome
sum of $139,606. It is proper to say the error
corrected above is not chargable to the perhon
who sent the deepalch.
Bogus insurance companies have got to be so
great and over present a nuisance as te attract
the attention of our Pennsylvania Solons If
I mistake not, you are yourself a sufferer from
one of those swindling concerns, which are plen
tiful as lice in Egypt, and much more afflicting ;
—for there is no such thing a getting used to
them. The bill in question compels all insu
ranee companies to pay in fifty per cent. of their
capital before commencing operations, instead
of ten per cent., as is now done ; provides for
three insurance companies in each county, and
compels them to make frequent publication of
their condition. Mr. Donhert, the gentleman
who has introduced the bill, is an old director in
one of the sound insurance companies, and has
therefore the experience proper to remedy exist
ing evils.
The third veto of Governor Packer sent in to
day, of the bill entitled an act to incorporate the
Cornish Engine Works of Norristown. His ob
jection to it is that it comes too clearly under the
head of special legislation, as there is full power
for incorporation under the general corporation
law. Besides, it exempts it from taxation and
other penalties, that it ought justly to be subject
to. Governor Packer's veto message was an admi
rable paper---tdear, well written and shows tha the
is well acquainted with the theory of legislation
end is determined so far as in him lies to see that
it la executed. If he continues in well doing.
which these seems to be no doubt, it will prevent
the statute book from being incumbered with
laws of no general good, and which benefit the
few at the expense of the many.
,At 3i P. M. the Governor, Heads of Depart
ment, and Senate entered the hall of the House
to hear the farwell address of George Washing
ton, read by the clerk, Jacob Zeigler, Esq. It
was rend in a way such as no clerk but he can
read it. At the moment the united guests
entered the hell, Beck's Philadelphia Band,
under the escort of Major Wm. Delany of Har
risburtz, took a position in the lobby, and struck
up " Hail Columbia," and after the reading of
the Address they played " Yankee Doodle."
Ilere upon motion 6000 copies were ordered to

distribution. PAXTON.
Munroe Stewart.
The Governor exercised wisely his clemen
cy when he pardoned Munroe Stewart. The
community here with great unanimity agree
in this act of the Governor. Stewart is largely
indebted to his counsel, R. P. Flenniken, Esq.,
for his untiring exertions in procuring his re
lease. We sincerely hope this narrow escape
from death may prove a perpetual and terri
ble warning to Stewart as to others, against
being found in bad company.

The New York Tribune coutaitis the following '
intelligence in regard to tiro latetd quarrel, iu
.Stiashingtou City :--
WasuisutoN, February 21.—Variuus version.;
glveu of tee c.,llisiou between the Hon
B and Gen. Cullom yesterday, but foll:.;c:
lug out tee ;acts eAucteA with a view to impar
tiality, 1 tind this to be the more probable
story :
Cullom entered the bar-room of Brown's Ho
tel, where Clay, Hawkins and Mason were stand
ing. lle proposed an old fashiouad Kentucky
drink, in which all the parties participated.
Subsequently he commenced conversation with
Clay, stating how he had removed from Ken
tucky to near the Hermitage, in Tennessee,
where he bearded the lion in his den. He spoke
of his long devotion to and admiration for his
father. Mr. Clay answered by saying that Gen.
Leslie Coombs bad once as Chickasaw Etnb.is
sador also bearded the lion in his den.
This expression, which some I , ystanslers sup
posed jocular, was regarded as an fleusive re
tort by Cullom, who asked if he meant to insult
him. Clay disclaimed such intention. The in-
terrogatory was repeated, with the same reply,
but was accompanied with the menacing use of
Cullom's finger, when Clay said that he was not
accustomed to be addressed in such a threaten
ing manner, or words to twat effect.
Cullom became more melted under the convic
tion of an intended insult to him, and denohuced
Clay as " the apostate son of a noble sire."
Clay said that his physical condition would pre
vent him from answering with a blow, but he
could not resist proclaiming Cullom " a d—d
scoundrel." Whereupon Cullom drew back to
strike. The force of the blow was partially ar
rested by the spectators, but still reached Clay's
nose and caused it to-bleed. The two were then
separated and withdrew.
It is proper to say that Cullom's friends repre
sent that he understood some obnoxious reference
to have been made by Clay to the Investigating
Committee, in connection with other remarks,
before striking.
This statement may be erroneous in the order
in which the events occurred, as the details were
derive I from different sources. But as no injus-
tice is intended, any error will be promptly cor
rected It is my design to give a general idea of
the circume slices of the case fairly, with no
leaning either way.
Clay called on Senator Johnson, of Arkansas,
to act as his friend, and a peremptory message
was communicated to Cullom, to which accep
tance was signified, so soou as a competent sec
ond could be chosen. At ono o'clock no choice
had been made.
Mutual friends are endeavoring to bring about
an accommodation, and others high in authority
are interfering to prevent a meeting ; but it is
hardly practicable to do so, considering the no
tions entertained by the parties in the case.
The whole affair is greatly regretted in all cir
cles.
The War Department will take care to prevent
any hostile meeting from growing out of the cor
respondence between Colonel Sumner and Gen
eral Harney.
BORROW LNG
The youthful State of Minnesota has com
menced to borrow. The Legislature has
passed a bill, authorizing the Governor to
make a loan of $350,000, at 8 per sent., to
satisfy its creditors. The gallanks"Harry of
the West" once said that he had not owed a
man a dollar for thirty years. Had he lived
till now, "the Secretary would have stood
alone." Borrowing in one way or another is
the order of the day. The General Govern
ment wants its millions—the States their thou
sands—the merchant, the manufacturer, the
tradesman, all borrow, and the very corner
loafers ask you to '•lend them a dime."—
Truly we are a borrowing people.
[Ft.r the Morning Pev.l
Eurroa: Some time since l noticed in the
Post, an article recommencing a change in the
licence system, which in my opinion, would in.
crease the number of legal doggeries. Would it
not be better to suppress the illegal ones, if we
must have suet: as furnished Fife with the last
pint, (I believe it was a legal house.) Since the
above appeared, I see you recommend an asylum
for our inebriates; which I had uo doubt was the
offspring of pure philanthropy; but would it not
be more consistent to advocate measures by which
we would stop them, than to call upon the Leg
islature for the people's money to keep them, after
the doggery keeper has got their money, ruined
their character, destroyed their health, &o? Fi
nally an article appears in the issue of the 13th,
on our Prison system, its evils &c , well written,
breathing pure phi lantrophy, as well as suggest
ing proper changes. But are we not overlooking
the only remedy, viz : removing from our midst
that which dethrones reason, makes the man a
brute, and by the use of which, the young takes
(as you observed) his first spree. It seems to me
that to talk of reform, and complain of crowded
Prisons, is folly, so long as intoxicating drink=
are permitted to be dealt out at the will of un
crupulous,(uot to say misanthropic) avarice. It
has beet said, that in Rhode Island, where there
is no death penalty, (and offered as an argument
against it,) that murderers are very rare; so they
are, because intoxicating drinks are little used
The young man has little chance to have a first
spree, and consequently of becoming a murderer.

of that time Hues caved, and the highwayman

In the House of Peers, on the Bth instant, Lord
Lyndhurst enquired whether any communications
had passed between the British and French Govern
ments, respecting certain insulting paragraphs in the
Paris Moniteur. He considered that the French Gov
ernment, by authorizing the publication of the in
sults, had taken the responsibility. Lord Granville
said that a note had been received from Count Wa
lewski explaining away the publication of those ad

the appearance of anything offensive to England.

eral grounds.
Mr. Kinglake moved an amendment that the House
deems it inexpedient to comply with the demand of
Count Walewski until further information is afforded

the two governments subsequent to that despatch:
He was not inclined to alter the municipal law of

including a very sarcastic one by Mr. Roebuck. The

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
SENATE
The bill to amend the act of March 3d, 1851, lim
iting the liabilities of ship owners, was taken up and
passed.
Mr. 8011, of Tenn., presented the resolutions of the
Legislature of Tennessee, respecting his opposition
to the Nebraska bill, and endorsing the Leoompton
Constitution, and , ntimating that he ought to resign.
He referred to the date of the resolutions, 10th Feb
ruary, four years after the vote was given which the
resolutions censured, and said it bad been u.nal when
the constituents of a member of Congress felt ag
grieved at his course, to act promptly. He alluded
to Mr. Fillmore, who had deoiared that had ho been
' a member of Congress he would have voted against
the Nebraska bill. He received 66,000 votes in
Tennessee for President, and Mr. Etheridge, who had
voted against Nebraska, was returned to Congress by
an increased vete. He thought that at no time since
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise had there
been any indication of the opinion of the South on
that question, and he believed that if a fair and hp
partial'vole could be taken on the question, there
would be an overwhelming majority pronouncing it
the most unfortunate measure that Congress ever
Passed.
Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, replied, showing that
in 1854, before the passage of the Nebraska bill, the
Tennessee Legislature passed resolutions approving
of that measure, and requesting members of Con
gress from Tennessee to support it. The Nebraska
bill was also the main issue in the elections of 1855
and 1856. He contended, therefore, that a large ma-
jority of the people of Tennessee condemned Mr.
Bell's course. He asked Mr. Bell whether he would
vote for the Lecouspton Constitution with or without
instructions.
Mr. Bell would not, in consequence of his Instrue•
tions, unless fully convinced that they were founded
upon a full understanding of the sabject in all its
bearings and consequences.
Mr. Johnson proceeded to draw a parallel between
his own course and Mr. Bell's on the slavery question,
placing the•latter's position at a disadvantage in the
eyes of the South. He hoped there would be no more
compromises.
Mr. Bell complained of his colleague's speed as
the bitterest, most insulting and personal ever con
cocted by premeditated malice. He was ready t
meet that Senator at any time, or any others who
should back him. (Sensation.)
Mr. Seward asked Mr. Bell to give way for an ad
'ournment. . .
- -
Mr. Bell refused; ho was ready now to vindicate
his course.
Mr. Foote pressed him to yield, and thus stop the
discussion.
Mr. Bell was willing to yield the floor for execu
tive session, provided he could have the floor to.
Mr. Green asked that the Kansas bill be made the
order of the day for Thursday.
Mr. King objected. ,
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House went into Committee of the Whole on
the 'tidier' Appropriation bill.
Mr. Burroughs vindicated the North from the.
charge of sectionalism, preferred against it by South
ern gentlemen, by referring to statistical facts, show
ing the immense preponderance of the expenditures
of the Government in behalf of the South, over-the
North, and contrasting the superiority of the North
over the South, in industry, wealth, population, edu
cation, etc. He then proceeded to denounce both Mr.
Pierce and Mr. Buchanan, for their course on the
Kansas question.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, called him to crder. He
asked if it was not disgraceful to be denouncing, on
this floor, a co-ordinate branch of the Government ?
Cries of " No, no."
Mr. Burroughs said to would be happy if he could
say in his heart that he honored James Buchanan ;
but he must be allowed to speak his candid opinion,
and was proceeding to do so, when Mr. Smith again
interrupted him.
Much confusion followed, during which his hou r
expired.
Mr. Curry contended that the Lecompton Cunati•
tution was adopted under the forms of law by con
servative and law abiding men, and was opposed
only by factionists and rebels. The action of the
Convention was conclusive. It was absurd to say
that the Legislature of Kansas can interfere with it.
That Constitution is valid 'without submission to the
people. Some of his friends speak of the compro
mise like his colleague. For Congress to order a
submission of the Constitution to the people would
be a violation of the organic, act; it would be a di
red intervention in the affairs of Kansas to coerot
the people to Congressional dictation. This would
be worse than Black Republicanism. Ho contrasted
the political and social institutions of the South with
those of the North, eulogizing the former, and draw.
ing a-fearful picture of the latter, and of the unnum
bered woes that would encompass the North should
the Abolitionists ever succeed in their designs. The
South, he continued, needed an extension- of slave
territory ; if the issue should ever forced upon her
that no more slave States shall be admitted, he would
not anticipate what Alabama would do; but he re
oognizad the right of secession. His fealty to Ala
bama would induce him to go wherever she goes ;
her action should be hie action ; his destiny her des
tiny.
Mr. Morris, of Illinots, said that the people and
delegation of Illinois were unalterable in their oppo
sition to the Lecompton swindle. He vindicated the
ability and patriotism of Mr. Douglas, whose course
would be emphatically endorsed by the people of
Illinois. He scouted the threats of dissolution, say.
ing that the confederacy was worth more to the South
than all the negroes they ever owned. The Union is
a priceless gem to the North and South. He referred
to the fact of the Cabinet officers coming into Con
gress endeavoring to subdue independent thought;
coercing members to vote contrary to their con
sciences. He would never bow his knee to bask in
the sunshine of executive favor; if proscription
came, let 'it come. The President has no better
friends than those Democrats who differ with on tho
subject of Kansas. If his Kansas policy prevailed
the Democrats in the next Congress would be in a
hopeless minority.
Mr. Andrews, of New York, opposed the Lecomp
ton Constitution, saying that under no conceivable
circumstances would he vote for additional slave
States into the Union.
The House adjourned.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, February 23.—Lieuts. Bell and
Williams, who had a collision on Sunday morning. in
a barber shop, had a meeting this morning, at five
o'clock, beyond Bladensburg, where they were ac
companied by their respective friends. It is reported
that Bell fired at the word " one," the ball penetrat
ing Williams' hat. Williams, who was the assailing
party, having given the satisfaction demanded, dis
charged his pistol in the snow. AI reconciliation then
took place, and both parties returned to this city.
The committee to investigate the alleged corrup
tion in connection with the passage of the tariff act
have examined five witnesses and summoned fifteen
others. Mr. Wolcott remains in jail, firm in the de
termination not td comply with the demands of the
committee. Distinguished friends continue to visit
him.
The Sergeant•at Arms of the House has been noti
fied that Mr. Williamson, who was forcibly brought
from New York to Washington as a witness, nas en
tered suit against him in consequence.
The United States Deputy Marshals throughout
yesterday and today vainly endeavored to get on
the track of Messrs. Clay and Cullom. Various ab
surd and contradictory reports are in circulation, but
it is understood that the challenge has been with
drawn as a preliminary to a peaceful adjusitrent of
the difficulties, which there seems but little if any
doubt will be effected, according to present indica
tions.
Anti-Lecomptou Convention at Indian.
spoils.
INDIANAPOLIS, February 23.—A mass convention
of the Democrats of Indiana opposed to the Lecomp.
ton Constitution, assembled at Masonic Ball at ten
o'clock this morning. Col. W. M. M'Cartney acted
as President. A brief and pertinent address was
read, followed by speeches from Judge Johnston of
Kansas, H. B. Payne of Ohio, Judge Wick, General
Drake and others. The attendance was large, and
tho proceedings enthusiastic. Every Congressional
district was represented, composed of the best men
in the State. A letter was read from Gov. Wise,
whose official duties prevented his presence. A con
vention is reepmmended—a general convention of
the North West—to assemble at Chicago or some
other suitable place.
Another meeting is being held to-night.

SOAP, manufactured by B. C. & J. 11. Sawyer, re
receives the preference over all other kinds ever offered for
family use.
Its advantages overother Soaps are :—lss. It is cheaper
to use, ono ,pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2d. Half the time need only be occupied in washing
when this Soap is used in place of other Soap. 3d. Lab,:r
in washing can be nearly dispensed with, as the clothes
will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear
ou the wash-board. 4th. Boiling the clothes is unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or salt water answere
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Machinists, Painters
and others, find it far superior to other Soaps. It speedily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and dirt from the
hands, leaving the skin soft, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash-board, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take one
pound of Soap, oat it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about ten gallons of warm water; pour in tho dissolves
Soap', and stir thoroughly. Let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, cold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or seam, or greasy
vets, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
