P. ItAMEY, is an au
thorized Agent for the MONTGOMERY JOURNAL. He will take subscriptions, rcceive money, and give receipts.
To Our Delinquent Subscribers. There are some twelve or fifteen hundred dollars of old accounts on the Journal Books ol which we stand greatly in need. We have given man}' gentle hints, which we hoped would have the desired effect, but in this we have been disappointed. Necessity now compels us to resort to other and more stringent means.— The money we want and must have. These accounts will be open for settlement until Saturday the 11th day of March next. Those not settled at that time will be put into the hands of proper officers for collection. Our hands must be paid, and paper, ink and typo bought and this cannot be done without the money. Friends, we are thankful for patronage, and we will be still more so for a speedy settlement of old accounts.
"DCr'Bedini the Pope's Nuncio, was burned in effigy a few days since at Wheeling Virginia.
Though opposed to any thing like mob law, wc can but admire our foreign population in expressing their indignation at this Roman Missionary. What need have the American people ofhis instructions? Why send a Nonoio of the Roman Pontiff to enlighten aur people in matters either of Church or State? If he has knowledge let him communicate it to his own people if he has light let him shed it upon the benighted minds of his master's subjects. There is need and room enough at home for all his labors and it he wishes to bring the American people beneath the same yoke which for centuries has burdened the Roman people, he cannot be too severely denounced.— What is Italy, down trodden and oppressed, groaning beneath a religious despotism for eighteen hundred years, compared with our own happy land? If the Roman is the beet government, why are her people eo oppressed? The people of the United States should say to the Pope and his Nuncios, we have no need of you or your instructions. We can manage our own affairs, in our own way. We do not care to be dragged down by the burdens you would impose upon us. Enlighten and relieve your own subjects give them light and knowledge and freedom of thought, and then may you go forth to bless other portions of the world. But so long as you keep Roman subjects shrouded in Egyptian darkness, we will receive none of your Nunciop, none of your instructions. Your light is but darkness visible.
LECTURES.—We had hoped to make regular reports of the Lectures as they were delivered to the Mechanics' Institute, but have not been able to attend. The interest is increasing and the audience has generally been large. The Lectures, we understand have been very interesting and instructive, aud from the reputation of ihoso who are to follow we may expect able Lectures. Let us still have a good audience.
DC/^The article in our last, on "Modernized Names," has been generally read and much admired by many, but did not, of course, meet with universal approbation. We would be glad to have similar articles from the pen of those who are thus gifted in writing.
[CR3 DR. R. T. BROWN will deliver
the 8th lecture before the Mechanics' Institute on next Thursday evening. Subject "Laws of Health, and means of preserving it."
"lO^F. H. Fry has just received a large supply of Teas, Gun Powder, Black and Imperial, derect from Philadelphia. It is of the best quality.
CO3The weather for a few days has been very warm.
DCr3' The Lectures delivered by Col. Lane, Jas. Wilson, Esq., & Prof. Campbell., are said to have been eloquent, instructive, and deeply interesting. We regret our inability to attend, hoping to have given a lengthy
report.

Doings in Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—SENATE—Mr. Cass offered the following resolution. Resolved, That the President of the Unite States be requested to communicate to the Senate, as far as he may deem it compatible with the public interest, a copy of any correspondence which may have taken place with tho Government of the Papal States touching a mission to the United States.
Mr. Cass said he alluded to the manifestations of disrespect and outrages perpetrated against the distinguished visitor, M. Bedini, and expressed his entire condemination of all such proceedings, and avowed his belief that Bedini was entirely innocent of the foul charges made against him.
Mr. Mason took the same ground. Mr. Butler expressed his surprise and regret at the outrages which had been perpetrated.
Several other Senators took the same view of the matter. Mr. Weller, of California, thought it could scarcely be necessary to introduce the resolution to elicit from Senators a disapproval of violence it could scarcely be necessary to inform the people of their obligations to observe the law, for the great body of the American people knew full weli there was no safety for the property or right but the sanctify of the law. What then could be the object of the resolution? Was it to tell the pro pie they might not peacefully assemble to express their opinions and grievances? If so, it would not have its effect, for such was aright too well known to them. And if those people charged with outrage, did nothing but assemble peacebly to express their opinions, and if this man Bedini be guilty of only one-half of what his own countrymen accuse him, then the people were right in what they did. (Appplause in the galleries.)
Mr. Mason.—I call the house to order, and that the chair direct that order be preserved.
Mr. Weller proceeded to say he knew nothing of the guilt or innocense of this person, and before he could accuse those people of having done wrong, he would have to examine whether Bedini was guilty or not.— He well knew that no act could justify violence but, it was useless to attemt to put down the people in their assembling peaceably to express their horror, and indignation for crime, oppression and tyranny. The resolution was then adopted.
Numerous private petitions were preseuted. The bill granting a pension to the widow of Gen. Jacob Brown, was taken up and passed.
The French spoliation bill was made the order of the day for Monday week, and the Nebraska bill for next Monday. Adjourned. HOUSE.—The bill granting alternate sections of land to Alabama, to aid in the constrnction of a railroad, was referred.
Mr. Olds presented a bill to amend the act reducing postage referred,— (Jpham Reported a bill granting the franking privilege to the Superintendent of the Coa6t Survey passed.
Mr. Bissell, from the Military Committee, reported back the Senate resolution authorizing the Senate to confer the title of Lieutenant General, by brevit, for eminent services it was refered to the Committee of the Whole.
The House then went into Committee on the President's Message. Mr. Oliver, of Mo., made a speech on the tonnage duties, in opposition to the proposed system, because it would work a fundamental change in the policy of the Government, and overthrow the present system of improving rivers and harbors. He said he was at a loss to know what strange infatuation in the mind of the President induced him to recommend such a policy.
Mr. Maxwell spoke of the land policy of the government, showing its great results in the settlement of the country, and agreed in favor of the constitutional power of Congress to grant land for railway purposes.— The committee then arose, and Mr. Bailey alluded to the death of Mr. Bodisco the Russian Minister, and moved that the House adjourn until Thursday, so that the members could have an opportunity to attend the funeral to-morrow. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cass, and agreed to.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—SRNATE.—A message was received form the Resident in answer to Air. Cass's resolution relative to the character of the mission of the Pope's nuncio to the United States.
The correspondence shows that Bedini, the Pope's nuncio, on hia way to Brazil, was simyly instructed to call on the President of the U. States & deliver letter of congratulation, & expressive of the Pope's kindly feeling towards !hc inhabitants of the United States.
After some debate the private calender was taken up ftnd some bills passed, when tho Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.—The House went into a committee on private bills. A large number were reported but not acted upon.
The House then adjourned. The following ia^.the Pope's letter to Mr. Pierce, referred to in Congress to-day: Pins IX to the President of the United
Slates: ILLUSTRIOUS AND HONORED SIR: Greeting—As our venerable brother, the Archbishop, Thebes, accredited as
our envoy in the ordinary, and Nun1 cio of ApoBtolic See, near the Imperial Court of Brazil, has been directed by us to v|sit those regions, the United States, we have at the same time charged to present himself in our name before your Excllency and deliver into your hands these, our letters, together with our salutations, and express to you,in the warmest language, the sentiments we entertain toward you, to which he will testify.
We take it for granted that these friendly demonstrations on our part will be agreeable to you and least of all do we doubt that the aforesaid venerable brother, a man eminently distinguished for sterling qualities of mind and heart, which characterizes him will be kindly received by your Excellency and, inasmuch as we are interested by divine commission, with the care of the Lord's flock throughout the world, we cannot allow this opportunity to pass without earnestly entreating you to extend your protection to Catholics inhabiting those regions and shield them at nil times with'your power and authority. Feeling confident that your Excellency will very willingly accede to our wishee ar.d grant our request, we will not fail to offer up our humble supplications to Almighty God, that he may bestow upon you, illustrious and honored sir, the gift of His heavenly grace, that he may shower upon you every kind of blessings, and unite us injbonds of perfect charity.
Given at Rome, from the Vatican, March 31st, 1853, in the 7th of our pontificate. [Signed] PIUS IX.

^TebrasraT^
A number of the Ohio delegation in Congress have issued an Address to the people of that State, setting forth the enormities of the Nebraska bill. It is also signed by Wm. H. SEWARD of New York. Wo quote one or two extracts:
At the present session, a new Nebraska bill has been reported by the Senate Committee on Territories, which, should it unhappily receive the sanction ofCongress, will open all the unorganized territory of the Union to the ingress of Slavery.
We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge as a criminal betrayal of precious right as part and parcel of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region, immigrants from the LId World, and free laborers from our own Stales, & convert it in to a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves.
Take your map, fellow-citizens, we entreat you, and see what country it is which this bill gratuitously and recklessly, proposes to open to Slavery.
From the south-western corner of Missouri pursue the parallel of30 deg. 30 min. north latitude westwardly acrossthe Arkansas, across the north fork of Canadian, to the north-eastern angle of Texas, then follow the northern boundary of Texas to the western limit of New Mexico then proceed along the western line to its northern termination then again turn westwardly, and follow the northern line of New Mexico to the crest of the Rocky Mountains then asccnd northwardly along the crest of that mountain range to the line which separates the United States lrom the British Possessions in North America, on the 49th parallel of north latitude then pursue your course eastwardly along that line to the White Earth river, which falls into the Missouri from the north descend that river to its confluence with the Missouri descend the Missouri along the western boundary of Minnesota, of Iowa, of Missouri, to the point where it ceases to be a boundary line, and enters the State to which it gives its name then continue your southward course along the western limit of that State to the point from which you set out. You have now made the circuit of the proposed Territory of Nebraska. You have traversed the vast distance of more than three thousand miles.— You have traced the outline of an «rea of four hundred and eighty-five thousand square miles more than twelve times as great as that of Ohio.
This immense region, occupying the very heart of the North American continent, and larger, by thirty-three thousand pquare miles, than all the existing Free States, excluding California— this immense region, well watered and fertile, through which the Middle and Northern Routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific must pass— this immense region, embracing all the unorganized territory of the nation, except the comparatively insignificant district of Indian territory north of the Red River and between Arkansas and Texas, and now for more than thirty years regarded by the common consent of the American People as consecrated to Freedom, by statute and by compact"—this immense region, the Bill now before the Senate, without reason and without excuse, but in flagrant disregard of sound policy and sacred faith, proposes to open to slavery.
The pretences, therefore, that the Territory, covered by the positive prohibition of 1820, sustain a similar relation to slavery with that acquired from Mexico, covered by no prohibition except that of disputed Constitutional or Mexican Law, and that the Compromises of 1850 require the incorporation pro-slavery clauses of the Utah and New Mexico Bill in the Nebraska Act, are mere inventions, designed to cover up from public reprehension meditated bad faith. Were he living now, no one would be more forward, more eloquent, or more indignant, in his denunciation of that bad faith than Henry Clay, the foremost champion of both Compromises.
In 1820, the Slave States said to the Free States, "Admit Missouri with slavery, and refrain from positive exclusion south of 36 deg. 30 min., and we will join you in perpetual prohibition north of that line."— The Free States consented. In 1854, the Slave States says to the Free Stages, "Missouri is admitted, no prohibition of slavery south of 36 deg. 30 min. has been attempted we have received the full consideration of our agreement no more is to be gained by adherence to it on our part we therefore propose to cancel the compact."
If this be not Punic faith, what is it? Not without the deepest dishonor and crime can the Free States acquiesce in this demand.
We confess our total inability properly to delineate the character or describe the consequences of this measure. Language fails to express the sentiments of indignation and abhorence which it inspires and no vision
less penetrating and comprehensive than that of the All-seeing, can reach its evil issues.
To some of its more immediate and inevitable consequences, however, we must attempt to direct your uttention.
What will be the effect ofthH.measure, should it unhappily become a law, upon the proposed Pacific llnilroad? We have already said that two of the principal routes, the Central and the Northern traverse this Territory. If slavery he allowed there, the settlement and cultivation of the country mu?t be greatly regarded. Inducements to the immigration of free laborers will be almost destroyed. The enhanced cost of construction and the diminished expectation of profitable returns will present almost insuperable obstacles to building the road at all while even if made, the difficulty and expense of keeping it up, in a country from which the energetic and intelligent masses will be virtually excluded, will greatly impair its usefulness and value.
From the rich lands of this large Territor}', also, patriotic statesmen have anticipated that a free, industrious and enlightened population will extract abundant treasures of individual and public wealth. There, it ha9 been expected, freedom-loving emigrants from Europe, and energetic and intelligent laborers of our own land will find homes of comfort and fields of useful enterprise. If this bill shall become a law, all such expectation will turn to grievous disappointment. The blight of Slavery will cover the land. The Homestead Law, should Congress enact one, will be worthless there. Freemen, unless pressed by a cruel and hard necessity, will not, and should not, work beside slaves. Labor cannot be respected where any class of laborers is held in abject bondage. It is the deplorable necessity of Slavery, that to make and keep a single slave there must be slave law and where slave law exists, labor must necessarily be degraded.
-r
It is of immense consequence, also, to scrutinize the geographical character of this project. We beg you fellow-citizens, to observe that it will sever the East from the West of the United Stales, by a wide slavcholJ ing belt of country, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to British North America. It is a bold scheme against American Liberty, worthy of an accomplished architect of ruin. Texas is already elaveholding, and occupies the Gulf Region from the Sabine to the Rio Grande, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Red River. North of the Red River, and extending between Texas and Arkansas, to the parallel of .'36 d*g. 30 min., lies the Indian Territoiy, about equal in extent to the latter State, in which slavery was not prohibited by the act of 1820. From 36 deg. 30 min. to the boundary line oetu'CBft our own country and the British possessions, stretching from west to east through more than eleven dpgrees of longitude, and from south to north through more than twelve degrees of latitude, extends the great Territory, the fate of which is now to be determined by the American Congress. Thus you see, feliowcitizens, that the first operation of the proposed permission of Slavery in Nebraska, will be to stay the progress of tho Free States westward, and to cutoff the Free States of the Pacific from the Free States of the Atlantic.
It is hoped, doubtless, by compelling the whole commerce and the whole travel between the east and the west, to pass for hundreds of miles through a slaveholding region, in the heart of the continent, and by the influence of a Federal Government controlled by the Slave Power to extinguish Freedom and establish Slavery in the States and Teritories of the Pacific, and thus permanently subjugate the whole country to the yoke of slaveholding despotism.— Shall a plot against humauity and Democracy, so monstrous, and so dangerous to the interests of Liberty throughout the world, be permitted to succeed?
We appeal to the People. We warn you that the dearest interests of Freedom and the Union are in imminent peril. Servile demagogues may tell you that the Union can be maintained only by submitting to the demands of Slavery. We tell you that the safety of the Union can only be insured by the full recognization of the just claims of Freedom and Man. The Union was formed to establish Justice and secure the blessings of Liberty. Whenit fails to accomplish these ends it will be worthless, and when it becomes worthless it cannot long endure.
We entreat you to be mindful of the fundamental maxim of Democracy, Equal Rights and Exact Justice for all men. Do not submit to become agents in extending Legalized Oppression and Systematized Injustice over a vast Territory yet exempt from the terrible evils.

Three girls belonging to one family, were among the killed, and their bodies all blown into fragments and mingled with pieces of building limbers and machinery.
Another account thinks the number killed exaggerated. It has already been ascertained that thirteen are killed and others shockingly mutilated.
