The principle of association. which gives
strength; to accomplish good ends, is certainly
carried to extremes in this country. There
are societies for almost every purpose which
can be imagined, and many of them, it cannot
be denied, have an evil influence upon the in.
dividnal member of community. Those who
depend upon the adventitious aids of associa ,
tions, are very apt to lack individual energy
of character, and as far as what are termed
beneficial associations are concerned, the mem
bers join them to receive, not to confer bene
fits.
The spirit of clamshness is not a good poi
icy in a tree country, and in its effects evil . is
worked. It too frequently happens that the
individual through pride, in adhering to the
rules of au association which he has joined,
does an injury to himself, and to those who
are dependant upon him.
As they are generally conducted, we have
always regarded the associations of particular
trades, to regulate the prices and hours of
labor, as a burthen upon the independence of
a working man. We observe by our ex
changes that all over the country, strikes for
higher wages and fewer hours of labor are be
coming more and more frequent, and their ims
mediate results are as disastrous to employers
as ever. We have just come through most
tremendous and disastrous financial crisis when
work could not be obtained at any price, and
now just when things are about to change for
the better in this respect, we observe that fres
quent meetings of working men employed in
the various mechanical departments of labor,
are being held, and increased wages are de
manded. It would seem that after the suffer
ings of the past winter for want of employ
ment, that sensible men would be glad to go
to work at a fair remuneration for their la
bor, but such is not the fact. In our own
city, we are happy to say that all branches of
industry are improving, and that no difficul
ties of this kind have arisen, and we hope this
state of things will continue.
There has been a vast deal of' controversy
upon this topic of the relative claims of capi
tal and labor, and it will probably in some
measure continue so long as the two great
classes of society, the employers and employed,
consider themselves as in antagonism, and
each cares only for itself, reckless of the
other. But it is impossible for combinations
to be efficient as a means of permanently in
creasing the wages of labor. Both classes
alike must yield to the natural laws—and
natural laws only which can regulate these
things. If there is more labor offered in
any department of industry than is is demand•
ed, ..wages must incline downward, and no res. ,
olutions of associations can bring them up.
But If the demand for industry be greater than
the supply, the price must rise, and no combin
ed effort on the part of employers can prevent it.
The interests of capital and labor are after all
to a great extent identical. The one is useless
without the other, and it is idle for either to
attempt to make rules and regulations to con
trol the other. There is in this country, a
great safety valve, which effectually prevents
the one class from opprEssing the other, and
that is the immense quantity of cheap land
which is within the reach of every man who
•ohooaes to work it. If the wages in any des
-partmentof labor recede below a certain rate,
the mechanic has a sure source of subsistence
and emolument to fall back upon. The i•l paid
operatives of Europe know this, and hence
the vast yearly emigration to our new terris
tories. The effects of association, and strikes
-and trades Unions could not rezulate wageS
for them and they by emigration decrease the
supply, and at the same time benefit them
selves while they are increasing the chances
of those who remain behind them.
• In Pittsburgh, we are glad to know that the
mechanics, who form so large a portion of our
population, are as a general thing well paid and
paid in cash. The fully appreciate the rela
tive position between employer and employed,
,and each class respects and acknowledges
the rights of the other. The high intelli
gence of our working classes has taught
them the evil effects upon their own interests
of combinations, designed arbitrarily to fix
prices of labor, and a mutual confidence and
community of interest is here admitted to
exist between capital and labor. -In this re
spect we deem Pittsburgh more fortunate than
most of the larger cities of the Union, and
we hope this condition of affairs may long
continue as it is, for The mutual advantage
of all.
A Fearful Prospect.
It is said that there are yet twenty.three
speeches to be made in the Senate on the Kan
san question.
THE CONCEIT to night at Lafayette Hall,
by the pupils of Professor Wamelink, for the
benefit of Passavant's and Mercy Hospitals,
should be attended br everybody. These ins
stitutions are both roost noble charities, and
both are needy. The entertainment, we
need not say, wilt be of no common order.—
Look at the programme and the names of the
performers.
l iihope as soon as possible that the pow.
era that be will make our streets a little more
civilized than they are at present. The warm
weather has opened up the fountains of mud,
and the walking is perfectly barbarous.
The Iron Interest.
The Hollidaysburg Standard says several
iron establishments in that vicinity have
been compelled to suspend. Within a few
days past the Portage Iron Works have stoped
and purpose remaining so until they dispose
of a portion of the large stock of iron now on
hand. Messrs Musselman & Barnitz, of the
Gap Forge, have ceased operations and adver
tised their stock for sale on the 19th ult.
Frankstown Furnace was blown out last weuk,
and will probably not be put in blast ogle°
by the present firm, as their lease expire in
May. Besides these, several others contew,.
plate stopping. These stoppages will, of
course, throw a large number of men out o
employment.
—At the close of the past week a numbe, o
bills, mostly fives, on the Bank of North Ameri
ea, at Clinton, Indiana, having spurious signa
tures, were
,put in circulation in Philadelphia,
and many of them were passed, RS hardly any
one but a banker would discover their spurious

CREDITORS.
The Dispatch publishes at length an opinion
of Jude Agnew, delivered last week in the
Court of Common Pleas of Beaver county,
which involves the ' question whether the
rolling stock, materials in use, &c , can be
levied on to satisfy judgments obtained by
creditors against the company.
The case came before the Court under the
following circumstances : On the fi. fa. the
sheriff levied on sixty-four bars of railroad iron
and thirty-one railroad chairs. George W.
Cass, President of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad Company, in its behalf,
and also in behalf of "John Ferguson and
Thomas E. Walker, mortagers of the com
pany, applied to the President Judge in vaca•
tion to stay proceedings in the writ until the
Court could be moved to set aside the levy.
A stay was granted, and on the 23d of Feb.
teary the case was heard before the Court
upon a rule to show cause why the levy should
not be set aside. After an able examination
and review of the case, the following conclu-
Mona are arrived at :
That the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company is authorized by its charter to
mortgage its property , real and personal, for payment
of money borrowed to construct and equip its road,
and for payment of money borrowed for this purpose
by the corporations whc se place it now fills.
That the mortgage can, and the tno in question
does, embrace after acquired property.
That possession of those chattels which are *a- Fen
tial in operating the road, and carrying out its public
use, is unnecessary to follow the mortgage in order
to protect them against execution.
Teat rails, and chairs supporting them, taken up
from the road bed for repair or reconstruction, and
intended to be re-laid, are fixtures, and not subject
to levy or sale as personalty.
That rails and chairs deposited along the route for
the repair of the track, and needed for this purpose,
as well as other personal estate necessarily used for
operating the road, are not subject to seizure and sale
on execution.
That the remedy against a company having neither
real or personal estate, except that necessarily used
in operating the road, is, by sequestration, under the
act of January 16th, 1836.
Upon the whole ease the rule to show cause is
made absolute, and the levy on the rails and chairs
set aside.

[Correspondence of the Morning P,eLt
lIARELISBURG.
HARRIBUBRO, MARCH 1.3, 1858.
Gov. Packer, some days since, vetoed an act
entitled "An act requiring the Pittsburgh and
Steubenville Railroad Company to make an arch
or trussel woik for the passage of a public road
in Washington county, and making it unlawful
for said Company to change the location of said
public road." He argued the case at length and
with great clearness and ability, and summed up
his objections it the three following points
First—Because it interferes with rights al-
ready granted.
Second—Because of its special character; and
Thud—Beoauae it is unnecessary, as a suffi
cient remedy already exists for preventing the
railroad company from infringing upon public or
private rights.
Notwithstanding this, through the popularity
and efforts of the two members from Washington,
the House passed the act over the Governor's
veto by the requisite two-thirds majority. It
came before the Senate this morning. Mr. Mil
ler, from the Washington and Greene district,
delivered a long speech, urging its passage with
the utmost zeal ; but when the yeas and nays
were called upon the question, whether the bill
should become a law, only three voted aye and
twenty two nay 1 So it will be seen the Govern
or has yet to be reversed, although he has been
compelled to exercise the veto power very often.
Judge Wilkins read in place today two impor
tant bills, particularly important to Western
Pennsylvania. One Is to incorporate "the East
Pennsylvania Canal Company," and the other to
incorporate "the West Pennsylvania Canal Com
pany." By the first bill J. Edgar Thompson,
Wm. B Foster, Wm. R. Thompson, Washington
Butcher, Jonah Bacon, Thomas Mellon, John
Hulme, G. E. Rosengarten, Wistar Morris, John
Robbins, John G. Brenner, and Samuel Megar
gee are created a body politic and corporate with
a capital of $2,000,000 (twenty thousand shares
of one hundred dollars each) They are per
mitted to buy that portion of the Main Line, ex
tending from Columbia to Hollidaysburg.
SEOTION 7 declares that the Canal and its ap
purtenances shall be declared to be released from
any lien of the Commonwealth, now existing un
der the provisions of the act entitled " an Act
for the sale of the Main _Line of the Public
Works, whenever the sum of $2,000,000 shall
have been paid to the Commonwealth, in reduc
tion of the Bonds given by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to the Commonwealth, for
the purchase of the Main Line of the Public
Works. Under the second bill the same gentle
men are corporators with a capital of $500,000,
to purchase the Canal from Pittsburgh to Johns
town, and the same release as given in bill num
ber one, is to be given upon the payment of the
aforesaid sum.
The Judiciary Committee to-day reported a bill,
reducing the fees of the Flour Inspector atPitts
burgh from three cents to two for each cask of
flour he may inspect. It was originally read in
place by Dr. Gazzam. Mr. Scott (Republican)
has read a similar bill in plane in the House.—
This seems to be a queer move on the part of a
Democratic) legislature, to cut down the profits
of an office just as soon as we have secured it to
a faithful and hard working Democrat. No at
tempt of the kind was thought of while a Know
Noching reaped the benefit. The milk in the
cocoanut, however, might easily be accounted
for, and I should not wonder if some of the "dis
appointed Swedlepipes" had a finger in the pie.
Dr. Gazzam read in place to-day, " enact rel
ative to the payment of warrants on the T rens.
urer of Allegheny county," as follows:
SECTION 1. That no warrant shall be paid by
the Treasurer of Allegheny county, drawn by
the Commissioners, except warrants for tho pay
of jurors and witnesses, unless the same shall
first be audited and approved by the Auditor of
said county; and for the purpose of auditing the
same, the auditors shall meet on Tuesday of every
week, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, for the pur
pose of examining all the bills to be submitted
to them by the county Commissioners, for which
service they shall receive the same per diem al
lowance as they now by law receive. Provided,
that any person aggrieved by the decision of the
Auditors may appeal to the Court of Common
Pleas.
The liquor question is very groggy. An at
tempt was made the other day, to act upon the
bill of Mr. Ramsey, reported by the Committee
on Vice and Immorality, but the diversity of
opinion was found to be so great that to two
mon could agree. Finally it was referred to the
following special Committee. Messrs. Goepp
of Northampton; Smith of Berks; Jenkins of
Luzern° ; Elear of Schuylkill; Armstrong of
Philadelphia; Foster of Allegheny; and Price of
Lancaster. They will report a bill some day
next week, but not so radical in its changes
from the present law as either Goepp's or llsm.

e,y's bill
of 1866
Hon. litivraid Everett delivered his gr e at ad

audienee It was 01 aguitioent beyond compari
son. PAXTON..
We publish below a plain statement by Jas. 11 RIVE I.
Blakely, Esq., of our city, in relation to his
business affairs. All who have known Mr.
Blakely most intimately, have accorded him
the highest integrity in his lsrgest as well as
the least of his transactions. His unspotted
reputation for twenty five years in' this city
should at least have shielded him from the
many base insinuatians hurled at him and,
through him, his family. In relation to his
large landed interest in Minnesota and lowa.
we have seen letters from reputable gentlemen
in those localities, which state that a large
advance over the assessed value can be ob
tained, and we have every reascn to believe
all that is necessary, not only to pay his
indebtedness, but leave a handsome compe..
tence for himself, is a little time, which should
be cheerfully granted by the creditors:
MR. EDITOR : May I ask the favor of a space
in your popes to correct some of the many misrepre
sentations which h..vo obtained circulation during my
absence from the city, (which was prolonged 'by
physical prostration,) in reference to my bus Less
affairs, as well as the character of my indebtedness,
and the value of the assets embraced in 'my assign
ment—the reports in question doing me great injus•
tice. I had fondly hoped that the previous good
character I had sustained, during a business inter
course of almost a life time with the citizens of Pitts
burgh, would have been sufficient to have shielded
rhy name, from association with epithets, involving
dot only dishonesty, but also dishon or. That char
acter might have been coved to me, when all else had
been cheerfully parted with ; hut, to my great grief
and mortification, I find it otherwise.
Nothing is more unjust r and at variance with truth,
than that I have obtained moneys in large or small
amounts, from either rich or poor, by either solicita
tions or misrepresentations. A small portion only of
my indebtedness arises from doposites, and these vol
untarily, and of a character corresponding to thou
sands of business transactions common to comma•
nity, and with a view to mutual benefit. They in
realizing the interest; I, as they must have been
aware, in investing the same—a principle all buei
ness. re-en will understand and appreciate. A much
larger portion eomprises moneys that, with the full
knowledge and consent of the parties interested, had
been accumulating for some time. Another class
being balances on purchases of real estate not yet
due.
Previous to the disastrous financial revolution, and
consequent depreciation of real estate, I believed my
self clearly worth at least three times the amount of
my indebtedness—this estimate being based strictly
upon prices corresponding to those at which property
was daily changing hands.
In the vain struggle to breast the storm, that took
so many, even experienced and prudent business men
by surprise, I may have done some things injudici
ously that I afterwards regreted, Lut as I am to be
judged, never with the design of wronging man, wo
man or child. My great anxiety:in making the assign
ment, was to secure all from loss, which course was
counselled and approved by those not only having
the welfare of my creditors at heart but who felt deep
ly also, for my own integrity and honor.
The largely amount of property embraced in the
assignment, valuable admittedly for its advantages of
selection and location, and which although officially
appraised at the period of the lowest state of depres
sion exceeds fifty thousand dollars, should itself
have shielded me,from such unjust :imputations, and
saved my good name to myself and family, who, al
though the contrary has been liberally asserted, (and
for which I have not escaped public censure,) I most
solemnly declare, aro totally destitute of all else.
Let me add further, too, for the encouragement of
those who, I believe, have been unnecessarily
alarmed fur the ultimate safety of their claims, that
an inquiry from those best calculated to judge will
show that my western property is much undervalued;
that even at this time it exceeds in many instances
even treble the appraisement. I have now in my
possession letters from parties whose standing-and
character, in connection with their judgment and ex
perience, entitles their statements to great weight,
fully sustaining this view of the question. If not
unduly pressed to sale, and with a judicious exercise
of prudence and care on the part of those in charge,
and which I am happy to learn is likely to be the
case, I am led to believe nut only that all will obtain
their own, but that we may ba enabled to realize
something with'whieu to begin the world again our
selves, Yours,
JAMES BLAKELY.

A CARD
A iiistorleen Wanted.
There is scarcely any civilized country whose
early history is in a more confused state than
that of Pennsylvania. Not that we lack mate
rial for making such a histo'ry ; for the State De
partment at Harrisburg, the Colonial Ree,rd.,,
Hazard's Register, 'Watson's annals, the books
of the Historical Society, the Records of coun
ties and towns, the journals and letters handed
down in families, the traditions and legends that
abound everywhere, and the various local aad
family histories that have appeared, furnish such
a store of authorities as would delight any anti
quary, and would,lif properly examined and di
gested by a competent hand, furnish as good a
history as could possibly be written. But no
one has yet appeared who combined the ability
with the disposition to perform this task. With
a wealth of material not surpassed anywhere in
the world, Pennsylvania is growing old, without
having a history written that is worthy of the
name.
The qualifications necessary in the writer of
such a history of Pennsylvania ought to haye,
are various, but in a population of over three
millions of inhabitants, there must be many
men who possess them. We would have him not
merely a fine writer—that would be one of the
most unessential of all qualities. Ho should
possess the plodding spirit that would enable
him to ransack to the utmost all the depositaries
of the facts of our history. He should have
the patient energy of Prescott, the clear gener
alization of Bancroft, and the power of vivid
portraiture of Macaulay, without his prejudice
and partiality. He should be able to narrate all
the political facts, and interweave in the narra
tive portraits of the public characters of the Col
ony and state, and desoriptions of social life,
first among the early Swedish and Quaker set•
tiers; then among the various and peculiar peo
ple, who were conspicuous in different regions—
the New Englanders of Wyoming valley; the Mo
ravians of Bethlehem,Litiz and Ephrata; the Ger
man, of
,Lancaster, Berke, Northampton and
other counties; the Scotch-Irish of different
settlements, and some others, who are worthy of
Special notice.
Coming down to the middle of the last cen
tury, the French war would furnish a brilliant
episode, and the movements which Boon followed
it in opposition to British oppression, culminating
in the Revolution, would supply materials for a
narrative equalling in picturesque and dramatic
effect the most brilliant chapters of Macaulay.
In many counties of this State beside Philadel
phia—in Lancaster in particular—there are
great quantities of revolutionary documents, pri
vate letters and other papers, going to decay in
private hands, which would be invaluable to our
historian. There are many people still living, in
various parts of the State, who reoollect the de
scriptions of political and military movements,
as well as of social life, that their fathers and
grand-fathers gave, whose recollections should
be taken down and made imperishable in history.
The Wyoming Massacre, the troubles of the Pax
ton Boys, the Whisky Insurrection, and some
other striking events, would each furnish a very
effective chapter. Philadelphia society in the
Revolution, and afterwards, when Washington
was President and Philadelphia was the capital
of the nation, would be easily described, much
information on the subject being already supplied
by books now in existence. Coming down into
the present century, the political struggles of
the Democrats and Federalists, if treated by a
man who had no prejudices for either party,
would furnish a lively chapter, and the newspa
pers of the day would supply material for it in
abundance. Perhaps it would be expedient to
bring the history down no further than the close
of the second war with Great Britain, and the
part which Pennsylvania took in that struggle is
worthy of mention in a chapter that would make
a fitting finale to the whole.
The mere hints that we have given of the rich
abundance of the splendid materials for a history
of Pennsylvania will, we trust, awaken an inter
est in the subject and stimulate some competent
man to undertake the task. No charlatan or
mere fine writer is wanted for it, but a faithfu',
intelligent, impartial, educated, well read, aid
industrious man. Where is he to be found ?
Philadelphia Bulletin.
We some days ago, made in brief terms, a
suggestion similar to the above. We have
here in Western Pennsylvania a vast amount
of most interesting historical material which
should be carefully collected, collated and pre
served, and we hope some competent individ
ual may undertake the task of writing a coin.
plots history of Pennsylvania. Such a work
would be of infinite value to every citizen of
the State.

THIRTY-CIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
=OE
After the presentation of reports, memorials, &c.,
the Kansas bill was blien up.
Mr. Wade gave the fluor to Mr. Broderick, who
said that he had seen Mr. Douglas who intended •o
be here to-day, but was still prevented by sickness.
While up, he would refer to the special corresponds
ence of the New York Herald, wLich repre , ent -d
him (13roderiek) as having been rebuked fur imperti
nence by the Senator fr,m Pennsylvania. He said
he did not think he had received any rebuke, and
hoped he never will, and that he tries to conduct him
self as a Senator should. He then branded the writer
as a falsifier of facts. He &aid he called attention to
the matter lest other gentlemen be misrepresented.
Mr. Broderick - added that %sli - en the article comes to
the knowledge of the edit, r, it will no doubt bo die..
approved.
Mr. Bigler said he was n responsible for new:
paper paragraphs. Ile came into the chamber on
Saturday under mistaken apprehensions of whet ha 1
passed, and attempted to defend himself again::
what he considered wrong imputations. Ile felt con
vinced when he and the Senator from Illinois die
cussed the question, it would be found that there
was no variation
Mr. Wade resumed his speech on the Leoompten
Constitutioe.
Mr. Mason commenced by saying, that when at the
close of the American Revolution the several States
met in convention to consult together, many dis
turbing questions were subjects of debate, but the
bottom of all, and the most disturbing of all, was that
of African slavery. It was discussed to determine
whether it should form an element of political power,
and it was finally guaranteed to the States where it
existed that it should form an element of political
power. The attempt, in . 1820, to exclude Missouri
from the Union because of slavery, was a struggle
to impair the power of the South, She was finally
admitted, but only on a condition unknown to the
Constitution, namely, the establishment of a 36° 30'
line. The South had believed since that the com
promise was unconstitutional, but it was acquiesced
in, and Senators now speak of it as a sacred com
pact; and when in 1848 it was proposed as a quiet
ing measure to extend that line to the Pacific, every
northern vote was against the proposal. They ex
humed from the duet the ordinance of 1787 against
it. Mr. Mason proceeded at great length to trace
out the progressive steps of aggressions on slavery
from the Revolution to the Dred Scott decision. On
alluding to the latter, he quoted Chief Justice Mar
shall, who once said, that the greatest curse an angry
God could leave to an erring people, was a dependent
judiciary ; and yet, said Mr. Mason, the Senator from
New York talks of re-organizing tho Courts so as to
make them sectional and subservient to the fluctua
tions of political parties.
Mr. Seward replied that he had been engaged in
'preparing a message to organize the Supreme and Cir
cuit Courts in such a way as to organise the repre
sentation of the several states se as to secure the bet
ter administration of justice and greater dispatch in
business. It will be cuuservative in character and
at the same time just.
Mr. Mason proceeded to answer the senator who
had denied the right of prosperty in man, asking
what is an indentured apprentice? There is right
of prosperity in his services, and time; slavery is but
a singular right for life. Quoting from a Maine news
paper an instance where a poor person was said to
have been sold at auction, he claimed it as au at:
knowledment of the right of property in man.
Mr. Fessenden captained that the ease was a mere
contractio Fapport, at the lowest rate, a poor poison
unable to -work. He quoted Blackstone defining
properety as based on gift; on dominion over all
things given by the Almighty to man.
Mr. Mason replied that the statement was natural
as Blackstone writing the history of common law,
while we must go back to origin or property. Be
then-went into an arguraorit:,..outcodino: that the con
dition o;alavery was a natural one to the negro, and
that his condition was improved thereby.
In concluding, Mr. Mason referred to Mr. Seward's
threat that there should bo no more slave States.
' The battle, ho rotas us, is fought, and now we have
a significant warning ; but be would tell that gentle
man that the battle is not fought, nor won; it is
but just begun; the direct issue is: You shall have
no more slave States. Ido not know how it will re
suit, but if the vote on Kansas is to consign all who
give it to political death, it will take no prophet to
foretell how long this Union will last. He wished
that the people of this country could only look at
things as they aro. Our government is susceptible
of infinite expansion. What, he asked, is our fed
oral government? A confederation of organized
States. If one State should fall out of that confed
eration, she would still he perfect in her organization,
with all the attributes of government. If the general
government would but remit to the several States ex
clusive jurisdiction over their own affairs, although
their numbers might increase to a hundred, all would
revolve harmoniously around the centre of govern
ment. Yet it is attempted to get up a political Imlay
.by crushing out one of the greateA inatrumenis tit

1101:13E OF REPIUSENTAIIVES
Mr. English introduced a resolution, calling for
information relative to the Louisville and Portland
Canal, with a view of securing the interest of the
United States, and providing for the reduction of
tolls. Mr. English said the Government had owned
the canal throe or four years, and he wanted to he
what become of the money. The tolls amounted to
one hundred thousand dollars per annum, none of
which, so far as he was advised, had gone into the
Government Treasury.
Mr. Humphrey Marrhall replied, defending the
Canal Company, denying that the government had a
larger interest in the Canal than other stockholders,
and asserting that the surplus receipts had all been
absorbed by repairs, with the knowledge of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. The United States was to
acquire the Canal only on conditiot.s which she had
not performed. Ho thought that Indiana interests
had prompted this attack on,the canal.
After further discussion Mr. English's resolution
passed.
Mr. Gilmer introduced a bill to prevent unneces
sary surplus in the Treasury, and to equalize grants
of land among the several States, which was referred.
He also asked consent to introduce a bill for the ad
mission of Kansas, which was not granted.
Mr. Wright, of Georgia, introduced a Homestead
bill, and Mr. Leiter a bill providing for the election
of Postmasters by the people, which were referred.
Also a resolution calling on the President to inform
the House whet members of the Thirty-third Con.
gress who voted for the Kansas Nebraska bill were
subsequently appointed to office under the late or
present administration.
Mr. Hughes asked leave to introduce a resolution
discharging Mr. Wolcott, which was not granted.
Mr. Stephens laid that Wolcott ought to be turned
over to the Court for trial.
Mr. Davis, of Indiana, asked leave to introduce a
bill for the admission of Kansas, which was not
granted.
Mr. Smith introduced a bill for a railroad to the
Pacific.
The House then adjourned.

spent at least fifty dollars for different medicines, but
found no permanent relief. Three weeks ago, one
of my friends insisted upon my trying Bcartneva'a
