IHWIMOND PALLADIUM.

ThaiMlaif Morninjr, April 21, isse. Editorial Correspondence. WamiiS.ito.v, April 20th, 1-5G. .T'-vnv fen days since Gen. C.s presented ;i.e i.i mortal of the Free State Legislature of K:i:.: a asking admission into the Union as a s'ate. The memorial was a copy made out !y enrolling Cieik of the House of the !vfti.-fi- I.egUla'ure, and of course the signs'ui; wetn ia Li hand writing. Mr. Doughs ii 1 his Slavery associates, thought there a s-.i.i.-iriing wrong in this, or pretended " tnink so, and charged Col. Lane with forinif r. and finally it was returned to Colonel Lane. In a few days, Col. Lane went b .fore an fil -r authorized to administer With, and m-tlts an affidavit U the fact that it was a tueeoiy, and handed it to Senator IIriau, f Iowa to re-prtscutit to the Senate. Upon ,U second presentation, a high State of excitement was gotten up by Douglas d: Co.; but 'i.ey were met in true spirit by Mr. Harlan and 'he breve men who are associated with him in dcfeudir.g freedom from the assaults of the -laveoatus. In alluding to the charge of "impudent forgery," he said "it would be a lii'.hj s'rigo to argue against the authenticity (he Bible, because we were unable to lay -air hands o the original parchments, as they larao from the hands of the patriarchs, prophets and apostles, although those parchments have been copied millions of times, and translated into various languages, there were hut few who doubted the genuineness of the Bible on that account." Mr. Harlan then entred i a to a detailed history of the political history of Col. Lane, declaring that "he was a democrat, not by conversion, for beseemed tjjraT been conceived and brought forth a dt Kt." ard had for many years been an Ht-i'rrf And zealous psrtiian, having voted all t.U iifo with that party, even down to Pierce, and for the Kansas bill. These encomiums eimo iiLc hot shot upon Southern members, .ni.d '.hf-y winced under the infliction. The :oU dignity of Senator gave way, and they indulged in a warmth of debate seldom wit. n scd in that body. The 6laveocrats of course arried their point, and the memorial was re- j jec!ed. Thus are the friends of freedom re- j N'-'td by the advocates of the extension of I vl.iery. Tlie time ia coming liowever, when) fioemon will oocnpy tha-plaeee now occupied ly the supple of fte peculiar institution. ! Kansas will beW"f , notwithstanding the in-j suits her friends how have to bear in the Sen- j ato. The following is the vot.by which the j memori il was rejected: j A .'.is Messrs. Allen, lieiij.wnin, Briggs, ! Biohr. Bright, Brown, Butler, Ca., Clayton. lo.!.n-, !.uglas, Kvaus, Fitzpatrick, Ilutu'er, lvci-oii. James, Jones of Iowa, lones of Ten- ; ienre, l'ugh, Keid.

I On ihc i 1th inst., Mr. B.ili of Ohio, inlro- j luci d a resolution directing the committee on j ;li- jitdiciary to inquire into the expediency f enacting a law prohibiting poligamy in! !'tah. Much of the time during the past week, in ' .c l!oUe, has been occupied hi the consilration of the deficiency bill. At least such ' its title, but in many particulars it is an ap- j , priition bill. Among other items was oi appropriation of $S.' .00,000, for the purpose' t constructing water works to accomodate lie citizens of Washington. Last year there was an appropriation of about the same sum, v!,i -'i h;s been expended; but I believe the ,,-.e-e:ii House deems it belter to lose even .'-.at targe amount, than to go on, perhaps to in ttpenditure of several millions. The in-t-csls t f the government in the protection of its property from fire, require that water hould be introduced into the oitv, but the o Ur property holders should not expect th. eminent to do everything. It is to be ', h-.-pc.i that an amicable arrangement may yet bo made between the government and city to si'PP'j lLo city with water. The appropriations for the army and navy in this bill, are ne u tiso millions of dollars. Much of it is conceded to be dificiencies. The peopl may be sin prised how officers can thus anticipate impropriations, or so recklessly spoud monev without the sanction of Congress, but -t v't us Congresses have not hesitated to ap- : roe of ihcir course, and they feci at liberty o ay but lit'Jd attention to law, or anything but their own opinions. It is time the matter w.is stopped. Not one cent shoul 1 be expended beyond the amount appropriated. Av ineffectual attempt was made the other j .lav, bv Mr. Cobb of Georgia, to oifr-r a reso-1 i latioii to adjourn the present session of Con-j res on t. e 1 4tr ot J uly. 1 he object of the South i to adjourn before aay action can be had en the Kansas question, after the report of the commission now there for the purpose of examining into the frauds and outrages committed against the-free men of that territory. The Hepnblican members arc disposed to remain here, for the parpose of securing he admission of Kansas as a free State, if possible; and at least not to leave until every effort has been made possible to secure that desired object. Their policy is millions for the Jefet.ce of freedom; but not one cent of tribute to tlavery. Oa yesterday a large number of the members of Coogress, the President of the United States, and others went on an excursion to Annapolis to visit the new vessel Merrimao, and the Naval school at that place. II. Fi ny. It is really laughable to hearth Jeff talking about a "cat's paw"being necessary to his "distinguished neighbor," as our Senior is termed by Lis writer of editorials! From the fact that Jeemes ha? got used to the thing, and cannot do without it, he feels like recommending it to as aa a labor-saving machine. "We are truly thankful for the interest he manifest in rnir welfare!

' d:c. The man may have committed murder under an excitement that may never overtake him again the same circumstances mav not ' again occur to arouse the passions of the man who set his neighbor's house on fire or that ! 'induced the individual to emit counterfeit! money or steal. I lrnssays that "the fear o' i h"ll is the hangman's whip." and if thev es-j-c.ptiaishnient, they mny not again commit 1 cii.nie, through that tea", it for no otiier reason ' the law being a "terror to evil doers." If the lawyer knows that the murderer will atrnin imbrue his hands in the blood of his iVi'mv inan, or that the one guilty oi' arson will again set tirt to his neighbor's house or barn, or that, he will again pass counterfeit money or steal, ' as soon as he ge s clar of the law's clutches. . ie is e-.i uai ly guilty before God, and in the , sio'it of ood men, for taking such a case, and he should receive the same punishment the ; Uw awards to all participants in crim. or to I access-.n : alter the tact. 1 hat, we trans, ! is a conimrn-sense view, as far as the limited knowled iI)eatis. we have of what unwtitten law There are many honorable exemptions in the legal profession, who would sooner loose their r: ght arms than to enLrajre in dfendin ' cannot be bought; bu' there are others wh would 'Sell their birthright for a mess of pottage," and entail upon the community where they reside, the cur-,', the hissing, seething, damning curse of liquor selling for "thirtv pleces of silver," or t'O hundrtd d d'ars.' We can inform our young friend of the "Axe," that we too "loaihe and despise the j calling" of a lawyer who would b guiltv of ! taking the part of the liquor seller, but we ' claim to have more charity than he ;u t ears to J - fi ! have t"r uiose ot ti.e legal proteotou w uose J hands are clear of the accursed tiling. If we i ready loathed and de-pise. 1 the profession, we ! could not find it in our heart to ivt- it one' wvrd ot eueouragemi nt, or attempt the same kind ot a round-abou; defense of il that he does. To be consistent, he should condemn the whoL' iratcrntty the s;ood, bad. indifferent an 1 worthless all together. T; at would be our course, if we held his sentiments. That class of lawyers which we "loathe and despi-e," is fittingly described by the editor of the New York Tribune, though we cannot agree with it, that the "romantic and anti- . quated sentiment of decency and self-respect," which that paper so graphically describes, has erttira'y disappeared from th profession there is a remnant of the old stock yet lef: enough to show the contrast wi;h the present "oaneratioa of vipers;" "There once was, ages ago, a time when it was considered base and detestable for a man to sell fjr money to the most scandalous of criminals and the most impudent of cheats, his countenance, his friendship, his intimacy, the utmost eSorts of all his talents, skill and learning, to save a villain from the ga'lows or the pri-. n, which his crimes had rici.lv ntserited, or to enable him to cheat some widow or orphan out of their paTtmony ani livelihood.
