CONGRESS. THIftTT-THIJU> COKtiaeae?MBflT SC4MION. Senate, Thursday, March 2, 1854. Mr. Stuart, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported adversely upon the memorial praying a grant of land to New York, for the construction of a ship canal around kiagara Fail#; winch was agreed to. Memorials against the pannage of any law repealing the Missouri Compromise, or permit ting the introduction of Slavery into Nebraska: By Mr. Smith?from the professors of Vale College, and from other oitisens of Conneotiout. By Mr. Seward?seven from Orleane county, Now York, and one from Albany, in the same Mate. By Mr. Fosseuden-rone from citizens of Maine, and another from women of the same State. Mr. Uask reported a bill for the relief of Zadoek C. Ingraham; and the same wae consid ered and pasted. Mr. Jones introduced "a bill to do justice to all the States of the Union "-?being a bill for the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the several States. Read twice, and referred. ' The bill grantibg land to the several States of the Union, for tha benefit of the indigent in sane, was taken up. Mr. Brown advocated the bill, and Mr. But ler replied. The bill was then postponed. The Chair laid before the Senate a message from the President of the United States, trans nutting certain correspondence relative to the Koazta affair. Also, a message transmitting the plan for the enlargement of the Judicial system of the United States, mentioned in the annual mes sage of the President of the 6'th of December 1853. ' Both referred, and ordered to be printed eJi?? Seuate then resumed the consideration of the bill to establish a Territorial Govern ment for Nebraska. Mr. Clayton said that on yesterday, when he closed his remarks, he was considering the question of conferring power to the Legislative Council of the Territory. To give that power was not conferring power of self-government, but the right to govern others. This bill also gave to the Governor of the Territory an ab solute veto power over the Legislature of the Territory. As this Governor was not elected by the people of the Territory, the bUl did not give the power of self-government. He did not think there was sufficient popula tion in the Territories to entitle them to a Government of this high rank. He desired to see substituted for the provisions in this bill creating the Legislative Council, and giving its powers, those of his own Compromise bifl of 18485 creating a Legislative Counoil consisting of a Governor, Secretary, and three Judges, and withholding from them all power over the sub ject of Slavery. He said that the Territory of Kansas was to be created from the territory taken off of Tex m by the boundary act of 1850. He wished Senators to reflect whether the act of Septem ber, 1850, repealed the compact made with Texas in 1845, that the States formed out of her territory north of 36 deg. 30 min. should ILT1 w.ll?*her> ***?* oompaot was not repealed by that act, the terms of this bill would repeu it. Mr. Douglas was understood to say that the 1 exas affirmation of the Missouri line was re pealed. Mr. Clayton resumed, and, as an additional1 argument to support the nnconstitutionality of the Missouri Compromise, quoted the speech of ?? the Arkansas bilL wherein it was held that Congress had no power to refuse a State admission beoauseher Constitution reo ognised slavery. He objeoted also to the provisions of the bill whioh gave aliens the right to vote upon a mere declaration of intention to beooms citizens. He expressed bis total dissent to the doctrine advanced by some Senators in debate, in favor of the acquisition of more territory. If this Union were ever wrecked, it would be upon the ground of extension of its territorial limits Mr. Chase said the debate had not been up on the amendment pending, but on the expedi. ency of repealing the Missouri Compromise This bill was professedly one to carry out the aootnrfe of Congressional non-intervention with existing law, but in reality It was a bill of in tervention and repeal of existing law. It ab rogated and repealed the existing law which was the Missouri Compromise act. The South contended that under the Consti tution Slavery may of right be carried to the Territories, and that the Legislature of the I erritory, having only derivative powers, can not exclude it. The Senators from Michigan and from Illinois believe that the people of the Territories have the power to exclude or allow Mavery. Thorn who hold this opinion are in a majority in the Senate, and he could see no objection to their voting for his amendment, whioh gave the Territorial Legislature the power to exolude Slavery. After this was put in, the majority could add the alternative of giving them the power of introducing it He was still speaking. House of Representatives, March 2, 1854. Mr. Chamberlain, by consent, presented a bill for the construction of three railroads from some points on the Gulf of Mexioo or Missis sippi river, to some points on the ooast of Cali fornia and Oregon; which was read twioe, and referred to the Select Committee on the Pacific Railroad. Three communications from the Treasury Department were presented to the House by Speaker, which were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. SoUere asked the oonsont of the House, to enable him to present for adoption a resolu tion calling upon the President for information in relation to any correspondence between the Government of the United States and that of Pstb, on the subjeot of the exportation of guano from the Cninoha Islands. The reeolu tion was read for information, hut objection was made to its present consideration. On motion of Mr. Dawson, the House then reeolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the Homestead bill, Mr. Olds in the ohair. Several amendments were offered, and much debate followed. Mr. Simmon* delivered a speech in opposi tion to the general policy of indnoing the oc cupancy of remote regions of our domains, to the neglect of the welfare of the already am ple fields now occupied. He argued that the welfare of our oountry was dependent upon the happiness, intelligence, and morality of the People; and that these oould be best promoted by inducing the thorough improvement of the regions already settled. Terse and True.?The Boston Courier has the following plain talk about the Nebraska bill: u There is not the slightest question of con stitutional principle involved in the Nebraska question. It is simply a question whether the nation shall tell a lie or not in respect to the Missouri Compromise. It is simply a question whether the agreement we have made not to do a specified thing shall now find as true men or falss knaves. A bargain has been made, a solemn oompact entered into, that Slavery shall not be legalised in a oertain region, and the question is whether at this moment, without the slightest necessity or ezouee. we shall wil fully, and in the face of the whole world, break our word thoe soismnly given, and oommit an act of national perjury ' LOCAL.

[f^- A Delegation of Otoe, Omaha, and Mis souriu Indian* arrived here on Tuesday even ing. Their objeot is said to be to negotiate a ?a.u of their lands to the Government. It is understood, as was stated in the Era yesterday, that the treaties reported to have been made by Agent Gatewood are without authority from the Department. There are but few beggars in Wash ington, exoopt professional beggars, and they ought not to be encouraged. It is hard to withhold relief from apparent suflering, but great imposition is praotioed. hvery city should have the power, and should eiercise it, of relieving the necessities of the indigent, and | preventing the begging alms in' the Btreots and public places.

The approaches to the Smithsonian In stitution are execrable. A boy was asked the other day where this edifice was, and replied that it was behind the market-house. Reported Disabter at New Orleans.? On Tuesday of this week we were informed by a telegraphio despatch from New Orleans, that a dreadful aooidont had happened at the Opera in that city on the preceding evening. Sinoe then we have reoeived no further in formation of the event, although great anxiety is here felt to learn the extent of the injuries, and the names of the sufferers. Pennstlnania Avenue Railroad.?The Washington News says: " A Committee of Councils have aooepted an invitation to visit the city of New York, with a view to examine the railroads, the construction and movement of the cars, which convey pas sengers along certain thoroughfares, avenues, and streets, in that densely crowded oity. It is creditable to the enterprise and liberality of the projeotors of the railroad on Pennsylvania avenue, that they are desirous that our city legislators should have ocular evidenoe of the merits or demerits of the proposed railway, be fore they take final aotion upon the subject in their respective boards; for the question will shortly present itself to them in a tangible shape, and they most vote for or against the proposed measure. As our citisens generally feel a deep interest upon the subject, it is to be hoped that proper means will be taken by the visiters to obtain Buoh information and data as will enable our oitizens generally to form a correct judgment as to the practicabil ity, advantage, expediency, and propriety, of laying down a railway on Pennsylvania ave nue." There is a project in New York to make an << elevated railway and terrace promeoade," that may be very ornamental, and will not in the least interfere with the convenience and safety of the busy throng below. This looks like a feasible and judioious plan. I believe there is no vainer sorrow than sor rowing for the dead. If the past be unaltera ble, and the future inexorable, then is lament | ation over the bier vanity itself; but in truth we mourn not for the dead, but after the dead, and for ourselves. And this, too, is vain?a weakness of our nature, to be indulged in only so far as it sanctifies and improves us, to be mastered when it would enfeeble our n.inds or prostrate our energies. I like not the custom of the Hebrews, who honored their dead with wailings. I would prefer to struggle for the oomposure of feelings that will permit me to recur with pleasure to all the endearing reool lections which restore to me my friend, unal loyed with gloom or repining There are few to whom time does not at length bring this tranquillity?he is the wisest who can reach it soonest. 1 shall let death rob me of as little as 1 can. If he take the body that I loved, I shall not suffer him to mar my spirit s medita tion upon that of the departed. I will cling to all the endearing and enduring memories that make it oftentimes sweeter to think upon the i dead than to oommune with the living. Dublin University Magazine. _ 8QUATTO SOVEREIGNTY. The great fraud in the argument for the Nebraska bill ooneists in tbe pretenoe that it gives to tbe people of the Territories the right to establish or exolude Slavery. And it is asked, would jou prohibit the people from de termining for themselves what tneir institu tions shall be * This in the trap which it ia ex pected will oatch Northern support, or exouttt it when it ia obtained. Now tbe faot ia, it ia denied by the Southern men that tbe Territorial tagialature baa any authority under the Constitution to exolude Slavery. They alao bold tbe doctrine that tho Constitution carries and protects Slavery over all the Territoriea where it ia not excluded by existing prohibition; so that, when the bill beoomes a law, the slaveholders contend that they may take their alavoa into Nebraska and Kanaas in spite of Territorial prohibition?and they intend to do it. But the bill of Douglas does not allow of prohibition by the people. The question rests with the Governor and the Judges, and they are appointed by the President. And either the Governor or tbe Judges may render nuga tory any law on the auhjeot which the inhab itants may pass; the Governor by his veto, and the Judgea by the legerdemain ot' constitution al interpretation. The Nebraska bill, as it stands to-day, and as it will paaa tbe Senate, ia in utter dcfianoe of tbe rights of the people to establish thoir own inatitutions. It is a bill, and it ought to be so entitled, to repeal Freedom and establish Slavery, whether the people of the Territory consent or not. Yet, notwithstanding this pal pable faot, it is defended on the ground that the Slavery question is transferred by it to the decision of the people!?New York Trtbunt.

He had an engagement, on Tuesday evening, to lecture in Brattleborough, Vermont, and on his arrival at Springfield, finding the regular Northern train not likely to start in time to answer hie purpose, he chartered an engine especially for the trip?the second time he has taken that method of reaching that village.

To those portions who may visit Washington, and are in want of a boot thut cannot bo excelled, either in quality or workmanship, we would call thoir atten tion to tbo card of Henry Januuy, to bo found under tho head of" Washington." A handsome and neat ly-mado boot is not at all times a souroe of pleasure to the wearer, but often one of extreme torture; this is caused by tho bungling manner in which tho boot is fitted to tho foot. Mr. Janney has devoted much of his timo in studying the construction of the human foot, in order to ascortain how a boot should be out apd fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all parts of the foot. In this he has succeeded, so that it matters not what may be the shape of. or the number of corns on the foot, his boot is porfoctly easy. Thus he has combinod beauty with comfort.
