Tho language of Sena tor lverson was shocking ; and the fact that ho could make such a speech in tho Ameri can Senate without a rbuko from the pre- DiumK uiucur, uisgraces tno oouy. Vhen tho passiunato Georgian invoked the hand of tho assassin to strike hrs old frionrl nnH brother Sen., Gov. IIouston,dead,thehudder miiicu ran over me senate lrom m pit tn gallery, was enough to crush anv ordinary man down into his seat, but lverson met it with a bold front. The sensation was tremrn- . w dous.andit but one man had lod off with a cry of 6hams, nothing could have prevent i.-u ;i ijwcu cry oi condemnation lrom the gallery crowd. "Wisfall was a trifle moro cautious, but was overflowing with self-conceit and impudence, as usual. He was frank enough to make some lmpoitant admissions, however. Ho did not attempt to deny tho rigiit ot ttio General Government to banc traitors if it could catch them. It was mere ly a matter of espedioncy. Neither did ho deny the debt of Texas to tho General Gov ernment. If this Government could reduce her to obedicneo and eell her publio lands, now the lands of tho United State3. it was at liberty to do so. In other words, Texas defies the General Government, or Wigfall does so for her, declares tho will not allow the Federal Government tho uso of its own property, and wil fight sooner than tubmit in other words, will exercise tho ricrht of rev olution. Doubtless the most of these socedina Sena tors are sincere. They really wish to leave the Confederacy. But" the other slave States do not, and are using the secession movement to extort further concessions and comprom ises from the non-slavcholdinz States. Ono of tho ablest of tho slave-state noliticians. and himself a slaveholder, said, within a week, to a prominent Republican member of Congress . " I advise you not to yield an iota of principle. And let me tell you further, tho moment the upper tier of slave States have got all the concessions possiblo out of you, they will demand that tho secedmg States be compelled back into the Union, or at least, that the revenue be collected alonjr the coast of tho soceding States, as usual." i his is tho aim of all the slave states be sides thoso who raiso cotton. Thej intend -" " -wem imu utmsr suomission to slavery, and then to invito the seceding states to come back again. Farmer's Clco.

To our constituents: The arguments are exhausted. All hopes of relief in the Union through tho agency of committees. Congres sional Legislation or constitutional amend ments are extinguished, and wo trust tho South will not be deceived by appearances or tno pretenses ot new guarantees, 'lhe Re publicans are resolute in tmrDOJO to erant nothing that will, or ought to satisfy the South.

The roison is obvious. Millions who were aflieted with Dys pepsia, Liver complaints, Billiousness, Sick Head ache, Debility and Physical prostration, have been radically cured by a thorough course of his famous Pills, while others have been healed of scurvy, old sores, bad leg.', scrofulous humors, glandular swellings, tumors, asthma, bronchitis, Ac. by his Ointment and Pills, when ail other meane have failed.

Yet how few know how to cure it. Generally, because the bowels are constipated, resort is had to cathartics or lax atives. Bat such a condition was never cured by cathartics, whose only office is to weaken the di gestion, and impair the integrity of the entire as similative system. Bat HUMPHREY'S HOMEOPATHIC DYS PEPSIA PILLS a simple medicatod sugar pill have cured hundreds of tbo worst and most obsti nate cases. This is done simply by improving the tone, and rester-ng the integrity of tho digestive organs, from whioh result gioi appetite, regular habits, a elear head, and buoyant spirits.

Daring the pait year, THE TRIBUNE has been obliged to devote quite a large proportion of its space to Politics, but we shall henceforth be able to limit our space devoted to Political discus sion, and devote most of onr columns to subjects of less intense, but more abiding, Interest. Among these, nc mean to pay especial attention to. I. EDUCATION .The whole subject of Edu cation, both Popular and General, will bo discussed in onr columns throughout the year IS6I, and we hope to eclist in that discussion some of the pro fcundest thinkers and the ablest instructoit in our country. It is at once our hope and our rej solve that the cause of Education shall receivo an impetus from the exertions of theTHE TRIBUNE in its behalf during the year 1SG1. II. AGRICULTURE. We have boen com pelled to restrict our elucidations of this great in terest thronghont 1860. Whatever discovery, de duction, demonstration, is calculated to render the reward cf labor devoted to cultivation more ample or more certain, shall receive prompt and full attention. III.
