Congressional

In the Mexican and Texas "debate, of whch we gave an extract lnst week, there was quite a sprinkling of the usual remarks on slavery, abolition. &c. Mr. Campbell, of S. C. principally discussej the abstract question of siavery - and drew a parallel Letween the slave labor of the 6lave States and the servile labor oí the Free States, and then coinpared the situation of the slaves with that f servants of the Wonh; and gnve the preference to slaves. Having extolled the patnotism of the South, hu went into an argument to show that, from the foundation of the world. ti.e right of property in man hadbeen recognized under every form of government, and by every creed and sec(. and had never been contested until by the iilumi. nation of the present century. Mr. Botts in the course of his remarks. said he would ofler a compromise to Mr. Slade and Mr. Adams - who vrere so much opposed to the anncxation oi Texas. Let the Noitï give. vp her Abolition Sozietüs and morements, and ice of t'te Sjuth icill givc vp our sihcme of aimtz'ng Tezus to f te Union. But f the North maintain. ed her course of annoyance and menace towards the South, the Souihern people must, from a princi ple of self-preservaiion, obtain Texas, if they could. They must strengthen theniselvee whercver they could. The Philanthropist quotes Mr. Wise - "He would fix our boundary, not where Mr. AHamshad tried to fix it, on the Rio del Norte, butfar beyond; aye. and he would soon fix Cali fornin, where all thepower of Gre.it Britain should never be able to reach it.

Such nietlie blessed efïecls to follow the an. néxation of Texns. And on whom does ho rely lor bnnging about thia event. froni which ia Xa foilow the out-pourinsr of slavery over the South erncontinem? On the "máinrity of the people of the United States,'?

It is thought bv some thnt Congress will fis on 50,i79n8the ratio of representation. This will give Michigan 4 members, and a fraction of about 10.000. It appears that one Hall formerly invented a rifle, for which he obia:ned a patent. For many years be had #60 per month from the Government, and $1 for each rifle used by thearmy, and $12.000 have been expended for machiner;-, &c. Mr. i-lal! is now dead, and Mr. Archer brought in a bilí allowing the heirs $20,000, ín full for their right to (he rifle. The Senate has been'occupied with various ex. ecutive appointments. The civil and diplomatic appropriations, and the apportionmént bill havo absorbed nearly the entire time of the House The details would be of linie interest to readers trenerally .

He said he wa3 not particularly acqiiflinted with society at tha North, hut. he presnmed there was great ineqnality there, that gentlemen did not take farmers into their parlorsü But the great gain is to get the fact out of them that ïhey mean to annex Texas. Many members now say they ure saiisficd of it.
