Pdingi i Oonp V WAnisoToy, Feb. 22. SXAT---Mr, Chase presented several peti-; tiona from citizens of, New York, in favor of the j repeal of the furtive slavelaw, and the abolition J of slavery in the District of Columbia, and the i prohibition of slavery in the territories, and moved that they bj referred to a select commitUe, in order that the petitions may fce properly considered, and that the views of those members of Congress which are stigmatized as fanatical may be properly understood. The sections of the country which, hold conflicting opinions on s.a-, rery would then have an opportunity of more fully understanding each other; and the views of

representatives and misrepresentations upon the subject wouhl be more clearly understood. Mr. Welle r. There are but eight working; days of the present session remaining. The' Senator from Ohio has had these petitions in his pocket for a long time, and it is wrong to intro- ! dnce them at this time, when we are pressed with ' to much important business. I accordingly ; move that those petitions be laid on the tab!, J where I hope they will find that sleep that knows j no waking. The motion was agreed t; yeas, j 2D;riav 13. Mr Clay called up the bill extending the time for the payment of duiv on railway iron. ' Mr. Pearce opposed' the bill, as he did not like the policy of departing from the re venae system to give temporary relief to railway companies, and protract time, when we shall manufacture better and cheaper iron than we now import from broad. American railway iron is eighteen per ct. better than the imported article; and by parsing this bill, we injure the establishments for the manufacture of railway iron in this country, and they are already quite numerous, and many of them very extensive. The bill was debated at length, and finally passed yeas, 25; nays, 18. The bill lor the settlement of the claims of the officers of the revolutionary army, and of their widows and children was taken up and passed. The bill from the House, making an appropria tion for the purchase and construction of four j revenue cutters. Passed. House The report of the joint committee of j conference, on the disagreed amendments to the j bill for the relief of the purchasers of swamp lands j was adopted. j An ineffectual attempt was made to take up! and pass the Senate bill giving additional land j to the soldiers of 1012. Mr. Middk-swarth said the birth-day of Wash-j ington could not be more appropriately celebrated; and he gave notice that, on Tuesday next, ; he would move the consideration of that bill. The bill granting lands to Alabama, to aid in : the construction of railways in that S:ate. was j laid on the table, yeas 97, nays 78. The House ': fli.n wonr intn i-nmmitltf on tl Civil and Dinlomatic Appropriation bill. Various amendments were offered, and some ; important ones adopted. The committee then ' aroxe. The committee on the subject reported a resolution appropriating two hundred thousand dollars to complete the Washington National Monument ' Ajourued. j Feb. 23. Senate. On motion of Mr. Brown it was or-; dered, the. House agreeing, that the President of, the Senate and the Speaker of the House, be di- j rected to adjourn their respective branches of the j national legislature, at twelve o'clock on Saturday i night, March 3d the vote stood, yeas 27, nays Mr. Perkins, from the committee on Foreign Affairs, repoited back Mr. Sollers, resolution call- i mg upon the President to inform the House, if not incompatible with the public interest, what was the object of the meeting or conference ef the ! A?nr;?nl;nUtr;t Hstaod: anil wt.vtlici aai-l ' meeting was in obedience to the instructions of; the Secretary of State and what these instructions were; and what was the result of the said conference. After some debate, and an ineffectual motion to lay it on the table, the resolution passed. Mr. Letcher, from the nommittce appointed to investigate the charge of bribery in the Colt Pat-; ent case, made a report, and the committee was discharged. The bill to carry into effect the treaty with , great Britain providing for the payment of claims fixed by the recent commission, was taken up and passed. The amount due by the United States to British subjects, the payments of which is , guaranteed by this treaty, is 8277,000; and tin: amount due by Great Briiaiu to American citizens is 8329,000. . i The House then went into committee, and took ; up the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. Mr. Edgerton moved an amendment, repealing the duties on railway iron, imported between J une : 1853 and June 18oG. and admitting the finer and coarser wools, duty free. After considerable de-! bate, Mr. Letcher moved as a substitute, Mr. ) Houston's tariff bill, proposing a reduction of; about twenty per cent in the duties which was j agreed to. Yeas 99, nays 86; and the amended i amendment was then adopted by a large majority, j The committee then arose, and the house cou- ( curred in the more important amendments, and' then adjourned. Feb. 24. j The Diplomatic and Consular Bill was read. j Mr. Mason said the bill reduces the grades to one, abolishes Charges and Ministers resident, ' takes outfit, and gives Ministers a fixed salary, ; not to commence until services begin, and to j cease when the duties of the office terminate: it prevents double pay for the same service and at : the same time; it forbids any foictgu Minister; from being absent from his post more than ten ! days at a time, without leave from the President of: the United States, and if more than ten days, even j with leave, the salary ceases. Although the ! salaries of Ministers will be raised on the face of, the bill, the expenses of each mission will be re- i duced. because no outfit or infit, no overleaping cf salaries, no gratuities to subordinate officers of, missions will be allowed, as heretofore. ; After some discussion the bill was laid aside. Mr. Letcher's tariff amendment, proposing that articles now paying duty of one hundred, forty, j and thirty per cent, md valorem, shall, after the ! first of July next, pay eighty, thirty-two, and! twenty-four per cent, a number of articles now j paying twenty-five per cent to be red need to I twenty per cent, and some light transfers made, ! was concurred in Yeas 126; Nays 82.

The Senate then took up the bill to protect ; the officers and other persons, acting under the j authority of the United States, and authorising defendant in cases of prosecutions in any State court to remove the case to the L nited states Circuit court of the district. Mr. Wade opposed the bill, as tending to revive in Congress the agitation of the slavery question. Mr. Douglass replied, when a long debate ensued, in which slavery, the Nebraska bill, KnowNothings, and various other matters, were debated. The Senate continued in session until after midnight. A long and exciting debate oa slavery took place, in which Messrs. GHlett. Douglas, Jones, of Tenn, Fessenden. Butler, Badger, Sumner, and others participated.

Mr. Sumner moved to strike ut the enacting clause, and infert an amendment providing for

the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Ac t of 1S50. This was rejected by yeas 9, nays 30. j An amendment was then made to the bill allowing depositions taken under this act to be used in United States Courts. The bill then passed; veas 29, nays!?. The Senate then adjourned. Washtsoto. February 25. Sijjate, Mr. Shields I move that we admit the ladies to the floor of the Senate, to witness the prescn'ation of the sword of Gen. Jackson.

I Jackson" He first alluded to the presentation of' the sword cf General Washington, and the cane of Franklin, both of which were deposited at the , ame time with Congress. j His allusions to V ashingfon and Franklin were very happy and appropriate; he said htf did not j rcard these ceremonies as empty and uonecessa- i ry; the first was a memorial of onr rt and great- j est cl icf magistrates, and this was one of his sue- j cessors in the administration of the Government, j and second only to Washington in the gratitude j and affections of the American people, and both; these memorials will lie side by side united tokerts of devotion, and in ages yet shut out from i our vi-ion by the future, when remote generations t shall hear of our heritage of freedom, and shall gaze upon these testimonials of victories, time- j worn ; but rime-honored, they will bo carried back ' by the associations to those heroes of our early history, and their love of country strengthened;; their pride in"her institutions, and their confidence ! in her fate and fortunes increased. Mr. Bell followed in a speech highly eulogistic of General Jackson, he spoke at much length j and very eloquently. Mr. Boll offered a joint resolution accepting the sword and returning the thanks of Congress to the family of the late General Armstrong, which ; was read three times, by unanimous consent, and : passed. Mr. Gwin offered a resolution that the speech- ' es of Messrs. Cass and Bell be entered on the ' journal, and that the resolution be carried to the House, which was agreed to. House. The Secretary of the Senate was in- i troduced, having the sword of Gen. Jackson in ; one hand and the Senate resolutions in the other.

The day of xrrcth, indeed! i Why, man, the day of wrath is about to pass away, and a day of soberness is dawning upon ; our Slate. What excites w rath more certainly , j than intemptrance? and what stills the maddened brain of the infuriated drunkard more than temiperance? Tho Telegraph's correspondent either ihaia wee drop in Lis brain, or he iutentionally ' I misrepresented the law. There is no searching) ! of cellars until the occupant makes that cellar a ! grog shop. The law authorizes the manufacture land sale of cider and native wines. Sec. 2 is iu j ; the following language: "No provision of this law shall bo construed i ; wine from crapes, currants, or other fruit, grown tO 1UI U1U 11...... - -' J j j ' , ! or gathered in this State, by the manufacturer, or j the sale thereof by him but such manufacturer r other wrsonon his behalf, shall not sell less than three gallons at any one sale, or io any person; and all sold at any one sale shall be taken away at the same time. Any other manufacture 'or sulo of cider or wine shall be deemed unlaw-' ful, iiC." This is specially designed for the benefit of the ; farmer. It enables him to make all the profit. ; He alone can make it or sell it. No grocery keeper, merchant or other dealer can buy it to ' sell again. The simple object in requiring it sold i,rl tlle qant,t7 namea anove, was to prevent us sales in small quantities by the doggeries, and ! making it one half whhky. This is the sole object, and is all right. We advise the farmers to j prune up their orchards, for the cider trade will i hereafter be an important item in their receipts.; i A Circumstance Deeply Rjretted. Some' : weeks since we learned that our friend C. F. ' Clarkson, late editor of the Brookville American, ! was about to leave his old home, for a new one in i i Iowa. We regretted to part with him, feeling : that a friend in his advanced age was about to give up the comforts of the Whitewater valley ' for the privations of an unsettled country. We could imagine no good cause for such a course.1 J It could not be a desire to increase his wealth, for ; he already has ahandsome competency. Itcould ; not be to secure a more healthy location, for no ' ono has enjoyed a greater shaie of physical com1 - y , i"i . t, . jj, . , j tort. It could not be to add to his circle of friends, for he has troops of them around him. Then, vvhut couiu it De. , . ,1-1 Has any hallucination mind befallen him? We could not understand the o-rat mvsterr; but the following announcement - , . r" iv f . i in the last Franklin County Democrat, explains ' the wuole ma'ter: "C. F. Clarksvn. Esq., was admitted as an attorney and counf?Uor at law on Wednesday last." llr.w lin tl!,-. mi-rhtv fal'pn!
