With the reassembling of this body of venera
ble sages and immmaculate patriots, the discussion
of the slavery subject has been again revived
with freah vigor and spirit. Scarcely have the
alarm bells of the late Presidential election died
away, before the country is aroused from its short
nap oy a luaty roar of the Congressional tocsin,
enongh to wakua the dead. We had hoped that the
huge annual salary wbieli these magnanimous
gentlemen voted themselves at the last session,
would have made them comfortable and content-
ed. But they are nothing without the "nigger
Give them champagne, burgundy, port and Ma
• deira, they will still clsmor for their blackberry
eordial. The whole country is tired and disgusted
with the African question ; it panta for repose and
peace, but that is just what Congress is determiutd
it shan't have. It seems resolved to recoguise no
other American interest than the interest of poli
ticians, vthich Interest would utterly perish but
fur the eternal hobby of abolitionism.
Well, let them go ahead ! They will abolish
something after awhile, we have no doubt; but,
judging from present appearances, they are more
likely to abolish the interests of the white raee,
aad Anglo-Saxon liberty and civilization on this
continent, thau African slavery. Would to hea
ven that members of Congress could be rational
and practical, like other men; that they could even
have a lucid interval of a single month, in which
they oould dlscovor that the business of twenty
three millions of white men is of more consequence
than that of three millions of negroes ! But that
is not to be expected.
The Telegruyh
We see a great many notices of Hughes'Printing
Telegraph, which is certainly a 7eryj wonderful
invention. It is represented that it prints clearly
aad distinctly and with unerring accuracy all the
messages sent by it, and that on a single line met
stigte nan be tent both teay» at the same urns. When
this peculiarity of messages passing in opposite
directions over the same wire was lirst claimed
for Hughes' invention, it was net credited ; because
it was considered an impossibility. Several gen
tlemen bear testimony to the faet that they have
seen it done. The editor of the Baltimore American
saw this on a wire one mile long. Mr. H. himself
cannot explain how the counter torrents pass
without interruption of either; but only knows from
Jfelual experiment that they do. Another merit
claimed for the apparatus is that an operator may
set in motion a maohine.at the opposite end of the
liue from that where he is stationed. So that, in
the absence of the opeiator from the office to which
a message is sent, the messsge may nevertheless
be printed off and ready when he enters ; or, as l t
is printed, may be read by any one, whether ope
rator or not, who has charge of the tffice iu his
absence.
A company in New York U putting tip a line

It gives us great pleasure to state that Dr.
1 kancis 1. BlllKLt.su, the distinguished Super
intendent of the Western A*ylum for the Insane'
has yielded to the earnest appeals which have
;ome to him from every quarter; from the friends
t/f the Asylum, from the friends of the inmates,
and indeed from the inmates themselves, and with
drawn his resignation. Dr Stribling, by his great
ability, Inexhaustible energy, and rare combina
tlon of decision and gentleness of character, has
gi»en to th'i Western Lunatic Asylum all its great
efficiency and reputation, and his loss would have
been irreparable. Such services, talents aud sac
rifices as he has made, ought to command from the
State double his present miserable compensation.
