She waited in the dfnwing-ro m, .
Good Mrs. Mahel Moore;
Six flannees of a pretty lace
Wore oa the dress she wore;
Upon her bosom a French rose, . .
And on her cap some satin bows. "
One little foot jast peeped without
' " Her petticoats so white;
IJer hair, a little gray, 'tis true,
- Was put in curl, and bright;
And sweet her glances shone around,
As'if some good thing she had found.
Tbe clock was on the stroke of eight.
And still she sat apart,
Now listening close, and laying now
One hand upon ber heart;
'' And toying with her earls and ring', '.
And doing other g'frlish things.
At length a step was heard, and then ,.

- "Five minutes and a half too soon," -'
Said Mrs. Mabel Moore.- ; ',

One day Mr. Jclerbert. with a whimsical 1-m.U of
surprise and chagrin,, banded his daughter a letter
he .ha.il, received front- the Pott .Qmce.v;.Itwss
from Mr.. Ephraira PiiLkinsonxf Par kineoa's Mills,
Ohio apd ooamined the information- that the. wri
ter's .wife was a relai jve of Mr- llerbert, and would

ijeeded Jto say thut-DeboTahvwas jalraii1.h might
not remoniber her, though they .had gonq to scbotl
and pluyed. together a great, deal wbeq bey.yjero.L
children ; and as Jier health was rather poor from
bnrd worji, ip. thft dajry season., and, moreover as a.
neighbor was going down to Orleans who would
see to- her -baggage,..he! thought . it best .that be
8lioulJ go and get-away froin-.care, and see a little
of tlie world.' j,, ..'::-.- -
Here .was a new thing under the sun. "Mr.
Herbeit, after a good deul of excavating among the
memories of the past, succeeded in bringing tolight
the image of a certain. Debbie Thomrsoo, who in
the years spent in Vermont, had been his school
fellow and companion. -' How she became inform
ed ofhis present residence he could not conjecture,
and if the truth were spoken, the refined and ex
clusive planter felt little pleasure in the prospect of
such a re-union. MrB. Curtwright, too, was quite
indignant at this intrusion upon her genteel non
entity, and awoke from visi ns of an enormous fat
woman, in a calico dress, and shocking low-hide
shoes, resolved to . avoid the infliction by passing
her time in the city. , But Constance, always an
enthusiastic student of human nuture, end free
from the contemptible pride that might have whis
pered of position compromised by the appearance
of a relative so little air fail to tbe customs of fash
ionable life, was delighted with the idea of a visi
tor, fresh as she supposed, fiom the backwoods. . :
; ' I am sure we shall find her a wa m hearted old
ladv.' said she to her father, orshe would not
take ihe pains to come to us, and I, fur one, shall
give ber a hearty welcome.
; ' Two days afier, a hack from the neighboring
town stopped at the planter's gate and Mrs; Park-
inron, ' to propriit personae alighting therefrom
made her way to the house. - She proved a tall,
spare geo'lle woman of fifty, with a fignro not ex
iictly flowing in its outlines, and a face, cheeiful
and benevolent in expression, as well as suggestive
of the valuable quality, termed hard sense' Un
like Miss Ophelia St. Claro she had never tied up
her opinions, social, political, rind religious, in sep
arate pacages', labeled and laid away like patch
work." Oa the contrary she Kept them always
about her, rubbed bright with use,, and ready, to
receive additions or modifications us her judgment
dictated. ! She had no idea that the wor'd had
reached the highest point of wisdom of which it
was capable, but anhough she had seen half a cenr
tury, expected to. learn a great deal inoref before
she died. , , -. ,- r
She shook hands warmly with Cousin Ralph
who received her with extreme politeness, kissed
Constance and little Jamie, and .was then shown
lb her.room to divest, herself of her riding suit.
Thence, in an incredibly 'short time she emerged.
rejoicing in a bright new cinnamon-colored alpaca
and a glossy black silk apron that must have cost
great many pounds of butter, as it reached nenrly
to the hem of her dress, and came within a few
nches of meeting behind. After recapitulating tl
haps and mishaps of her journey, and walking th
lengihof the verandah Jo rent herself, she return.
ed to .the parlor, and caotinualy sinking into th
velvet depths of an easy chair, dre w from her ret
icle a stocking belonging to, her absent lord, which
Was undergoing the economical pr"cees o tooling.
This however was allowed to lie idly in her lap;
while she became f.rr a time absorbed in a half-
complacent, hulf sorrowful coosciousoess if bein
a great way from home. "
la the course of the day observing Angeliqiioi
she inquired of Constance in some surprise, who
lhat lady was.
Angeliqrje, my waiting-maid, or more proper
ly my companion ; was the replv. . -
'Not a slave you don't mean to sny ! ' inquired
Aunt Deborah, looking aufully severe.
Yes a slave surely, answered Constance ami!-
ing 'so faras a name goes nof.irther. She knows
nothing of bondage. She was a favorite df my
dear mother's, and I love her like a sister.
Well I never heard the like j' exil.imed Mrs. rusand Dresden, its cut g'ass and silver, and bo
Deborab with both hands in the air. Why, that quets of fragrant flowers, to satisfy even the ambi-
eirl is whiter than many a one on the Western
Reserve, and handsome as a pie'ui;' 'Well I'm
thankful I wan't brought up here. I might have All promised well, till just before dinner, Con
been given over to do such things myse'.f. stance was seized with a violent head-ache, and
I soe raid Coast inc, pleasantly, ' that you I
are an abolitionist, and in that we shall not differ;
but you will see that all slavr-s are not abused. Mr. Herbert's chigrin, upon ushering his guest in
L"k at Angelique now. How Would.s!ie compare to the dining room lo be met by a rt excuse frcm
r with Ohio girts.' ' " " '"; ' v- l
' OU. she's very handsome and hidy-like, nod no
doubt she's highly rrficair t'.but tbe curse is on her
after all. Don'c she know' she's nothing to look I
forward to T Don't she know she can never have
a home of her own, and a family lo love and do
for? It's no kindness in you to biinj her up as
you have, for the more you make her hke white
fidks. t!i more Borrr.w it will brina UDOD her.
The good lady stopped as she savy that Constance I
was looking anxiously in her f.ico. . Why should
her mother's lingering foreboding in respect to
Angelique be brought sa vividly Id remembrance
by these words of a si ran "er! I
She is my own properly,' said she afiera pause.
andwhen I am of age I shall free her. My f.ith-
er knows my intention, and has quite recently re-
fused offers for her. So you perceive she An
something to look forward to .'
We know not what a dy my bring forth, I
couldn't sleep a wink, or eat a meal of victuals io
comfort if I owued a slave. Nobody can convince
me that slavery is right, w hiten it over as you will,
and I hope your Pit won't be uffcindnd if 1 fchouht
out with somethings nginst it. I couldn't lie'p it
if I tried. .'"-'--, - . '
An.l sure enough Mrs.-Dehorah did 'out' with
a good many things, and for the express purpose of
drawing hercouitly cousin into conversation on
the subject ; but the p'anler in his invariably guar
ded manner, managed to i.vuid any argument,
though he could not escape sonio shafts of home
truth which suffered co softening by their medium
of communication, v'z Aunt DoLorah'a fear, des-
pising tongue-
Mr. Heibert was tco corf ecus a pentlemnn, not
to listen with deference, when I here was no possi
ble pretext of escaping from the room but many a
time and heartily did he wirli lhat his second cous
in was safely relumed to her good man at Parkin
son's Milli. Aunt Deborah, on "her part, was ns
contented as mortal "could possibly be. She call-
' tbe South a wonderful growing country," and g!h
ered a number of flower-seeds that she thought
might be flattered into blooming on the Reserve-.
She never tired or hearing Contancee I
Angelique's wonderful S'rgrhg, wliicli she declared.
raised her right off lief feetl'i ! - ua ' 7 '
Angelique though sho fieq'ientlyexcused her

hair was braided, and hung in shining dependen

who was continually pel forming or as Mrs. Debo

' Do fur the lords sake ',' she would exclaim on

In a short time, Mr. Herbert, to his exceeding

that the Hon. Mr. Templeton had nothing left

' Ob there's a good deal said on this subject by

remarked the gentleman, slightly yawning, and
looking into the bushes as if he would rather like

is a little loo much like being slaves ourselves.

That Doctrine"an8wered Mrs. Deborah 4re-
inds me of .tife old" Connecticut deacon's, who
said he never felt truly happy till he thought he
as elected to perdtion, because God was glorified
thereby. Seems to me a pitiful kind of glory, that
depends on people making brutes .and heathen of
lemselves. But calling it glory, I never read in
niy Bible that any amount of Natioal elory would
he accep'ed in the last day in plice of righteous
ness. , Wheu I stand nt the great bar, I don't ex
pect to be asked if I belong to the glorious Ameri
can Union, but if I've kept the commandments, and
done to others as I would wish, them to do to me.
Perhaps ore little word thnt Aunt Ddborah
opped just now grated hurth'y on the honorable
gentleman's ears; at any rate he picked op his rar-
n, and rose to go, but stopped again, a little un-.
illirg to allow the blunt old lady ihe last word.
These considerations. Madam, have much we'ght
with superstitious persons, but the destiny of our
nation is onward. Slavery stands ou the broad ba-
is of National expediency, and whoever chooses
put the liberty of three Or four millions of drivel-
ng negroes in comparison with this, is quite wel
come to a heavenly reward, for surely he will get
no other. Tbe North cannot do without the South
nd the South cannot do without slavery. We be-
ieve it right but. right or wrong. Madam, it must.
shall, and it will be suslained. Good afternoon,
Madam.' '
When he finished and walked toward the steps,
Mrs. Deborah, who had dropped her work in
mazement at this rnt her bare faced confession.
rose, and unconsciously followed .with the knitting
dragging from her pocket. .
'Well, there! Of all the heathenish talk, why

Templeton did not stop to rep'y but the words
rang in Ins ears lone alter the speaker had returned
to her seat, and still as he threaded the walk, it
ceemed to him that the nodding flowers, and rust
ing leaves, and snarkling fountains trok np the

At the expiration of the al'otted time, Mrs. Par
kinson's travelling companion returned, and she
took a kindly leave of the planter's family, parted
with by Mr. Heibert with ndundant appearance
of cordiality, nnd by Constance with real regret.
Angelique bade her farewelijwith a degree ofemr-
lion foi which her young mistress was lit a loss to

Mrs. Deborah had offered to hire her time of her

Constance looked at' her in surprise. It wbb

something in Iter countenance reminded her ol

Satbrbat, 'A-pril 8, 1853. -On

lowing resolution, submitted by Mr. SfWARD on

Mr: Chase; I hardly suppose that the Senate'

it, I move that it lie upon the table. . . .: '

It is with v. ry great reluctance lhat I offer any re- - :
marks at this period of the session; and nothing but'
sense of duty would constrain me to do it. 1 '
have, however, Jboked into this history, and 'J f

S30.428 54. and f.r the Union 49.123 18.- It
originated, in a resolution abnpted on the .11th of5
August. 1838 . At that time, as is well known,-
the public printing was- disposed of by contract.- ' -
The contractors were not the pudlishersof either " .
of the party papers at the seat of Government.-'".-
They were not, I believe, connected with the
political press in any form. It eo happened that,
frofn some cause, the organs of the two principal -
political parties were not very well supported Vy ,-
subscriptions; and it wa9, doubtless, a principal ob ' 'n
jeet of that resolution to supply the want of pop-
ular support by governmental patronage. - It pro- J;
vided for the pr'mling of ihe proceedings and 64-
ba'es of the Senate alone in the Intelligencer and
Union, at the rnte of seven dollars and fifty cents i - '
per column. It did not prescribe the quantity of t
matter wh'ch a column should contain. It gen
erously left that to ihe discretion of the publishers) .
of the papers. The only, duty .devolved, npdn .
Secret iry cf the Senate, .was to ascertain the
number of columns, long or short, w'da cr narrow, -and
to pay according to the rate of seven dollara-o
and fifty cenli per column, r ; - .J ':.:
"This state of things continued tlr.til the com- : "
mer.cement of the first session of the last Cobgrs;
At that time tbepublishers of the Intelligencer' I
notified tbe Sunate that tney found the contract bur
densome, and askedto be reievedfirom it. Tbe -ground
of this step was understood to bS that the '
publication of the debates of (he Senate in full, and' 1 '
ihe abstract which it was necessary to give of the
debates of the House,' so incumbered their columns
ns to injure the circulation of their daily paper.--
It wbb a voluntary act upon their part. It was
not called for by any .action of the Senate." If ' "
was dictated by consilerations of private interest.
The paper wrs thereby left free to -advocate the '
doctrines of the party to which the editors belong--1 '
ed, and to publish such matter, and such matter"7
only,? as they tbooght calculated to promote the '
interests of that party. Nobody eould eonplain of '
that, i It was all right and- prrper. - The Senate ?;
acquiesced at'ooce, ' and relieved ' the ' publishers .
from their contract. ' : ;' '- ; ' ' ' "l
At the last ession of Congress,- both Honsea '
elected the publisher of Uie Union, printer to
Congress, and fixed the rates of compensation.-- "'
TheseTates, in my '-judgment were not- merely '
sufficient, but wry liberal, not to say extravagant. ' '
1 do not doubt thai, with ordinary, economy nn
der tlie.e rates, the pnhlfshers of the 'Union catv
make notsimply ordinary 'profits, bot an ample
estate out of the public prioting.' I believe this '
opinion can -be sustained by the-judgements iof
practical pvinters. . ' ' - . ' ''.""-
- Thus.'sK -stands the caBe" at this moment
The publishers if the Intelligencer have volun
taily declined to continue reporting under the
contra c and the publisher of the - Union has ob'-"
tained the publ c printing and therefore the whole '
reason which originally induced the Senate to con
tract for Ihe pi iuting of the debates in the" two -
papers, has entirely ceased. There- is now no 1 4
argument, either of a parly or of a public nature.
known to me. which will at all justify the contin- L,. .
ued printing of the debates io full in eilher of these '
papers- And it should be remembered that the
contract-was in terms a temporary one.'. The
resolution which aothorized it, expressly deolar- 4
ed that it was to continue only "until otherwise '-'
ordered by the Senate." - 'r : ' . "'' --: 4
But. let : me' proceed with this history. Sooa .
afcerthe printing of the proceedings and BebateS
had been discootipued, in the Intelligencer" si -
resolution was eubmited by the Seratorfrom New
Hampshiiey Mr Nobris, requiring the Secra-"
tnry of the Senate to audit nnd "settle the accounts! '
of John B. Riv9, the Daly Globe, for printing the ' -debateBdnd
proceedings, allowing him the same
compensation as that paid lo the publishers of trie "'
Union namely, seven dollars and fifiy -cents per
column. That resolution pnssed the Senate; and
then we had, as before, two papers in the city ,
printing our debate, nnd at the same exprerr?. -
Now. sir, is there any reason whieh wills justify
the Senate in employing and paying there two seta
of publishers and reprtors to do the same work?
1 can see none, even of a . party charooter. Tba -
paper, as I have shown, is amply provided for by
the public- (rioting. '..Still less can aee-any so fa .
as the Intelligencer is conserned, for that paper, :
for the cry purpose of being left at larger liberty -to
promote party objects. and consult tbe fatte of -
ita renders, declined the contract, - - ' l11
And now 1 usk tbe attention of the Senate, and :
I hope my statement will attract the attention of,.,
the countiy also, to tbo expense of this printing of -?
our proceeding"- Before the oontn ot with the In
telligencer and ihe Uuiou, the printing of the da
hates of Congress was a private enterprise. Pub-
lie patronage in the shape of Urge payments for
reporting und publishing wes not considered nec
essary lo secure sufficient publicity for Congress
ional proceedings. The prospect of an additional
circulation was a sufficient Btimulus to induce tbe -publication
of very full acounts of what was done,
and of all the speeches of the members of either
House, winch the country desired lo read. . 1 re- .
