Things at Washing ton.
Although there is plenty of talking in Congress
reprted as usual, we apprehend that all the action
of iinportance is likely to be crowded into the last
days of the session, of Which Monday next is to be
thelvery last It will be seen by the subjoined ex
libels from the summary given by the Sussex Reg-
Mei; for lest week, that the Cheap Postage bill,
the iliiver and Harbor bill, and other matters of
realV deep interest to the people, were still drarz
ginl, slowly along, and later news, renders it quite
doubtful whether any of them but the appropria
tion hills (by which the Congressional Salons will
m mage to get their own pay) will finally be got
through this session.
A great portion of the time seems to have been
taken up in discussing the late outrage in Boston—
the sudden rescue of a fugitive slave by a collec
tion of negroes who-thus violated the law of the
United States while a legal examination was going
on, and the message of the Persideot detailing the
circumstances drawn out by resolutions of the Sen
ate. The proclamation of the President on this
subject will be seen in another part of this paper.
Every Law-abiding citizen will of course recognize
the duty of the President whenever necessary, to
See that the laws are duly enforced by every means
in his power. though many cannot help inquiring

violence in our cities, and the outrages sometimes
committed in the Southern •States on the rights of
11.4 them citizens do not equally call for a grave
proclamation from the President.
The Senate on Monday, spent most of the
day unprofitably in depreciating " agitation"
on the subject of Slavery, but finally got up
the Postage Reduction bill and commenced
its discussion. We trnst they will soon pass
it. in some shape.
The house on Monday were upon Rivers
and Harbors, as usual, and actually fruished
the discassion of their " Democracy." That
is something. Various amendments were
then voted upon them with indifferent sue
cess, and the committee rose late in the even
e• witliout doming to any result.
The Senate lon Tuesday, took up ,Mr.
Clay's Resolutibn . calling on the President
for immediate ,Mformation in regard to the
rescue of the alleged slave in Roston, and
after spending most of the session in discus
sing this affair iii eonnecticn with the Shay
Rebellion, the,invasion of Cuba, &c., the res
olution' was unanimously adopted. Mr.
Walker offered a Resolution in favor of re
ducilr'r the expenses of the Army and Navy.
which wa. laid over. The House Postage
bill wets taken up, and Mr. Seward's mond
meta iu favor of a uniform two- cent rate - of
letter postage was rejected. An amendment
to allow newspapers of not over 300 square
inches to pass through the mails at one
fourth the rates fixed for large papers was
edopted and the Senate adjourned.

.A WasitingtoircorrespOideut of the Phil
adelphia Daily News writes asfollovra:
, .
. AnfovrnOini reached' here to-d at, : by tele
graph, that your State.,S.-Mate h as - passed the
bill repealing the,act of 1847, which" chi*
your jails to the slave holding States, and
forbids jailors to idmit in yousiaili•fugitiVe
slaves. - This information has given great sa
tisfaction here, and will have a salutary effect
upon Congress. Let but this action be
protnptly follonked by the adoption of resolu
tions expressive of a .determination, on the
part of
. Pennsylvania, to adhere to the ad
justment measures of the last-Congress., and
and the prospect of something being done by
Congress to revive and sustain the sufft.ring
industrial interests of your State will be in
creased tenfold. ' The repeal of so much of
the act of 1847 as is so offensive' to the South,
and the passage of compromise resolutions,
by our Legislature, will do more to promote
the success of the efforts now being made
here to revise or modify the Tariff. than all
the resolutions of instructions in favor of an
increased duty on coal and iron that can
pass. ' Why then aot have prompt action on
these subjects in the lOwer - branch of y o ur
Legislature. rad the act of 1847 been re
pealed, and adjustment' measures approved,
during the first or second week of the Res
sit rt of the Legislature, there 'remains little
doubt in my mind that same favorable legis
lation would have been had here on the sub
ject of Pennsylvania interests before this
' time; and this, I believe, is the prevailing
sentiment of all those now here from your
State, for the purpose of. procuring a modi
fication of the present Tariff. Many of tour,
_people may have difficulty in bringing them
selves to believe that non-action on the part
of your Legislature upon the subjects refer
red to. have operated against their efforts to
have their interests protected ; but let those
',who doubt come here to urge action upon
''the subject of the Tariff, and Phey will soon
discover the difficulties in their way, and, I
doubt hot, arrive at the same conclusion
which those have - who are now here, many
of whom entertained different views when
they left home. The information ftom Har
risburg as to the action of the Senate has
revived the spirits of those attending here
to urge action upon the subject of the Tariff,
! and they now feel as if they could walk with
some propriety with heads erect, and make
bold in dernanding - Corresponditr legislation
from Southern members favorable to Penn
sylvania interests. . .
So it seems if the representatives of the Free
and Freedom loving people of Pennsylvania will
go on and repeal such State laws now in existence
relative to the use of our county prisons .Lc., as are
displeasing to the South, and will also pass resolu
tions glorifying those compromise measures which
include the Fugitive Slave law, requiring the peo
ple here to help the slave bunters catch their nig.
gers, the members of Congress from the South may
graciously permit justice to be done us by such
modifications of the Tariff as are asked. fur. Now
wo would respectfully Bugg* whether it would
not be full as wise and proper to first consider
calmly and dispassionately the merits and demer
its of the act of 1847 itself, and if it is really wrong
or unjust in its provisions, to amend of repeal the
law, whether the South clamors for it or nut 1 It
was-pissed we believe by our Legislature withont
any exating excitement at the time, as part of an
act to prevent kidnapping, and was deliberately
approved by the late Govenair Shunk. If there
is any thing radically wrong about it howevet, let
it be repealed forthwith by all means. for the sake
of right ; but nerei because certain hot-spurs, in
Congress demand it as a condition of allowing
proper legislation in that body. Let a modification
Of the Tariff be obtained if possible on its own
merits ; but before we would submit to purchase
it at the expense of r;t/hf and justice and be com
pelled to resolve that white is bhiel-or black white,
in relation to the Fugitive Slave law, we would
"grin and bear it" under almost any kind of a

Sec. A.
-These two clauses from the same instru
ment, the same article. are respectfully com
mended to the attention of - President
more and his ColiStittitionistradci4ra,: -- Thep:
are by right...of equtil validity and equally
binding on Government and People. - If
there be any obligation resting on 003
oral Executive to 'inform the one,--that . obli
gation extends equally to the other. • Yet .
for a lifetime the fOrmer requisition has'beeif
steadily, systematiCally, ostentatiously defied.
Citizens of Free States, trading. to or
Slave States, are habitually - dealt with in
those States in ghtring,idolation of its ex=
press injunction. White freemen from,th.e
North are subjected to impriSomnent,indig-,
cities and outrage in South Carolina and
other rabid lower law States en vague suspi
cion that they are Abolitionifits, and punish
ed with whipping and tian4ment because
of the finding of a newspaper qn their-trunks
unfavorable to Slavery. Colored citizens of
Massachusetts or Rhode Island, whose rights
before the, law of their own States are equal
to those of any other Citizens, are regularly
dragged from the vessels in which they 'are ,
serving as seamen or stewards, on the arri
val of said vessels at Charleston, S. C., or
other Southern ports, thrown into prison,
there confined till their vessel is' ready to
sail, and then compelled_ to pay heavily forf
the cost and charges of such arrest and de•
tention, under penalty of being sold into per- .
petual Slavery.
This has proceeded for
y ears without op
position or remonstrance°from the 'Federal
Executive. But the first case of successful
evasion, by a- few poor ignorant citizens of a
Free State, of the prvisions intended to fa
vor Slavery, is the signal for general commo
tion. , The President is sumrioned to the de
fense of the violated Constitution. Procla
mations and 'threats of military coercion fill
the public ear, Whether the whole State
of Massachusetts is to be put under martial
law or only the City of Boston subjected to
a state of siege , we do not hear at this pres
gilt writing, but it is plain Iliac something
terrible is meditated.
—All we ask is, that the Constitution be
dealt with fairly, and its provisions in favor
of Freedorii he enforced as Trommly, earnest-
Iv and fully as lite which are held to favor
Slavery. The eral Government was not
created only nor mainly. to uphold Slavi.ry ;
it was intended primarily to subserve the
cause of Freedom. Let us have no re-en
actment of the Boston Fort Till while the,
Constitution is defied in Charleston with the'
audacity of law and the impunity induced
by Federal (acquiescence. Give us ecu
tive enforcement as well of the clause which
guarantees to all citizens of ,Free States the
unimpaired 6216 - of citizerni in Slave States.
so of that which favors re-enslavement, and
we have .nothing more to a.sk.—Xeut York
Tribune.
GamblOr„.
. A taste for Gambling is easily excited, but
when fully aroused, is too strong to be read
ily allayed. Nor is it alone in drain shops
and raffling houses, that this a:cursed passion
is first stiniulatO to action. The following
facts, given by a - correspondent of the-. Wes- y
• 711 Recorder, show that customs and prae
s have been introduced within the vesti
bule of the Christian church, which are di
reedy calculated to inspire the novice with a I
taste for games-of hazard :
" A father, in the time of a revival, calle4
on a minister to convene with his son, who
had formerly
. a habit of gambling, and for 1
whose spiritual interest they were under
much concern. The pastor did so, and was y
treated by the young man with much court
esy, and he had hopes he had secured his ob
ject of convincing him of the injurious course
be was pursuing, and .that a reformation
would be tilt result. , When about to leave.
the. young man requested to be. heard a mo-.
ment, and addressed the pastor as follows:
"Three years ago the II —L.-- church held a
'fair and festival. Those *splendidly bound .
"beaks you see 0111 the table wets set up at lot
; tery. After trineili persuasion on the part of
Y:a young female fiend. I consented against
my inclination topurehase two tickets. The
I - Prize fell to me, and 1 embraced the &stop
' portunity of gambling bn a larger scale, and
since then have lost}
hundreds of
Nit for that lottery, - under thepatronazi3 of
a Christian church, I never should havtilbe
come gambler." '
