We tell them again, never was n.Utake more i t- r, more unhappy, and if persisted in, more cer- j '. :n to lead to f-ilai' consequences... The large bc . y of tho .Southern people iheniiilions who would, -in the opposed cuse.be called on to act are not i.l usterers nor lire-eaters. They despise all such s '-plays as those alluded to, as thoroughly as they re despised every where else, wherever good taste i '..sts, and they are far from meaning to imitate i.iern. Wo tell the people of the North, that there is : wing all classes throughout the Southern States, ii ileep-calm-i-setth,d determination, which seeks not to vent itself in words, and which will find no '-.iterance until the day of action shall have arriv i'd. They love the Union almost as the Jews loved the Temple of Soloinon. The arts of dema gogues, the mi st hatelul of all the creatures to whom nature has given birth, have been insuffi cient to wean their affections from the splendid fa bric bequeathed to their care, by the wisdom of their fathers. They still retain, for the children of those who, equally with their own fathc.s assisted ut its consecration, the affection due In brethren. Hut their sentiments upon certiui. points are as fix ed and unalterable as the decrees of destiny itself, and upon no other more deci Jedly than upon t' i is, the most important of all. It Is a matter of small consequence 'whether they be right, or whether they be wrong. Argument in such a case is of no avail. Rhetoric falls coldly upon the ears of those, whose minds are already made up. It is useless to preach to them of consoquences ; to rep resent Ilia value of the Union; to depict the re sults which would spring from its disruption to dwell upon the deplorable condition, in which it would inevitably involve all quarters of the coun try. All these things they have deliberately and maturely weighed, and have made up their minds to the crisis, in spite of them all. Viewing the contemplated abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia as a direct infringement upon rights which they have been accustomed to regard as sa cred, they believe that they would be recreant to the trust confided to them by their fathers, were they for a moment, to permit the considerations of convenience to weigh a feather In the r cale; They nsk, if they gi ve way in one point, be it as small as it may, what security they can have against the extension of the encroachment. They recal to mind, the conduct of their revolutionary fathers, who tried issues with the powerful Government of Great Britain, rather than submit to a tax eo small that it could not be felt, because thejjeonsidered it an infringement of their chartered rights. Thus they reason ; and with all their attachment to the Union, they prefer to sacrifice every advantage they may derive from it, rather than submit to what they regard as palpable injustice." A LEAF FR011 THE PAST. Among tho many touching and instructive nar ratives wiih which Holy Writ abounds, we know of none more strikingly indicative of the frailty and imperfection of human nature and human s soctations, than the separation cf Abraham and AM, kinsmen, companion and friends. They were both men eminent for virtue and moral ex ' cellenoe, Abraham having been oven described by ' the Almighty himself as his" friend," and lot lieing one whose righteousness afterwards with stood even tho general depravity of Sodom. These two persons, it is recorded, had both become groat and prosperous, Abraham being rich in cat tle and silver and gold, and Lot also possessing florks and herds and ter.ts. But the great afflu r ncevhich they had acquired was itself at last Vie caii" of their separation. "And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell .together ; f ir their substance was great, eo that tliey could not dwell together." This separation did not arise from any animosity between the two friends. The sacred narrative goes on to say, . " And there was a Urife between the herdmen of Ahralmni's cattle and the herdmen ofLot's cattle: a id the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land," (among whom contention would Invo been very dangorou.) " And Abraham, said nnt Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, telwren me and thte, end my herdmen and thy her linen; fur we be brethren. Is not the whole hind before thee 1 Separate thyself, I pray thee fp m me : if thou wilt take the left hand, then J will go In r.h riitht ; or if thoa depart to the right hand, hen I will go to the left," Early inthe hrto-y' of our race as this occurred; al.nojt in (lie freshness of the bright rooming of rre tion, man was e.liiliiling the ' fame passions n with ns, In the hurry old age of the world. Tiie p.tlriaroU and Lis kiuiiu in, however, were a bo re the infirmities which actuated their depen dants, and the wie advice of Abraham prevented greater difficulties, and remain, not only as a mon ument jrif his own prudent conciliatory spirit, but ns a model for the iinitatiou of succeeding gen erat'ons. Sou ewhut similar is the history of the two great sivtiuns of the United States. Bound together, I k Abraham and Lot, by the ties of a common origin, companions .like them in pilgrimage and trials, and like them pursuing together the arts of pe:ire, until b 'th have waxed rich and strong, a subject of estrangement has arisen from one of thf chief elements of their common wealth. There was nothing in that subject which should necessarily create discord, but the political herd men who tend their respective flocks, to gratify their own evil passions, have made it a perpetual theme of contention, until at last the land seems "no table to bear them, that they might dwell to gether." The strife has gradually proceeded from bad to worse; and now, as in the days of Apraham, the Canaanite dwells in the land. If, therefore, the strife cannot be otherwise healed, and the herdmen at Washington cannot agree, then let the spirit of the patriarch be adopted, and let the Abra ham of the south say to the Lot of the North, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between mo and thee and between my hordmen and thy herdmen, for we ba brethren. Is not tin whole land, before thee ? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. . We know that it is a sad thing for brethren to part but better part than live in eternal discord.-- That union which is without love, is but the iron fetter which binds a prisoner to his dungeon floor. We know that it is a humiliating thing to surren der the memories of ancient glory, and the brighter hopes of future greatness. But communities, as well as individuals, must often sacrifice their most cherished aspirations to secure some essential good. It is mournful to think that the rapid career of greatness which our country has run instead of an indication of mightier powers yet undisclosed, may bo like a precocious developernent of intellect in infancy, the herald of an early decline. It is mortifying to the vanity to give up the idea of a colossal Republic of tw o hundred millions of souls; its northern border surrounded by a crown of polar ice, its southern extremity girdled with (ropic fiow ors; its flanks washed by two mighty oceans; its wealth, its power, and its civilization the wonder of the world. But this maybe a dream of romance. We must look at man as he is, with the same passions as in the days of Abraham; and at society, which, of human origin, must partake of human imperfection, before we have any right to expect that these States, composed of such discordant el ements, will become consolidated in their union, Instead of crumbling with the lapse of time. Per haps our pride needs some such lesson as the over throw of that great Republican Tower which we have expected to rise upward, like Babel, until its summit reaches Heaven, and its shadow is cast o"er the whole earth. In a word, we say, let us abide together, if we can abide in love. If not, let us part in peace. The" whole land," a mighty continent, is before ns. And though neither section, when separated will be as powerful as tho whole, yet each may be sufficiently prosperous for all the purposes of hu man happiness. Doubtless, to all earthly foresight, it would have been more to the interests of Abra ham and Lot to have remained together, yet it was after their separation that the Creatorsaidto Abra ham," Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, southward, east ward and westward : For all the li nd which thou seest to thee will I give, and to thy seed forever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." Rick. Rep. THE MARTYR AND THE GULL-TRAP. His biographers tell us that Lord Byron woke rjp one morning and found himself famous in Lor don. Mr. William J. Browh, savsthe Republic, went to bed one night last week with the reflec tion that he had made himself notorious through out a continent. He had become the historical Brown. The prefix of his baptismal name,, or the affix of his place of residence, was no longer nec essary to distinguish him from all the Browns, past, present and future. With relation to the whole family, his name shone forth like the moon among the lesser fires. He waa eminently, pre eminently Brown. The country was elect. ified by his sudden cele brity, when it was announced by telegraph that Mr. William J. Brown had distanced all compe titors, in the race for the Speakership, and would the next day undoubtedly reach the goal. It see mod as if the nation, without knowing it, had pos sessed a precious jewel in the person of the gen tleman from Indiana. Ho it was who was to heal all differences, harmonize all conflicting opinions, unite all discordant seMimerits, and rmlcdy in a single champion all the elements of o position to President Taylor. Free-Soil was satisfied. The extreme South was happy. Dem ocracy, pure and simple, was in a state of entusi trntsy. Whiggery waa inconfusion. The laurels of Palo Alto and Buena Vista were no more than weeds cast upun a barren strand. They had lost their verdue and all the world was Brown. ID" At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of our University, in the City of Rale'gh, a new Pro fessorship, styled the" Professorship of History and English Literanre" was established. The Rev. Albert M. Shipp, A. M., President of the Greens- borough (Methodist) Female College, waa select ed to fill it, by a nnanimoui vote of the Board. The Rev. John T. MTieate, D. D., of Colum bia, Tennessee, was appointed to the chair of, Rhetoric and IjJgic, rendered vacant by tae resig nation of the Rev. Dr, Green, Bishop elect of Mis- sisippi. V Latest froiw Ohio Senats not yet ohoani- zed. A despatch to the New York Tribune, da ted Columbus, December 14, states that the Sen ate waa not yet organized, but that the mem. h'rs had. on tho nreviom rlav. commenced but loting for Sp"aker, although there was no choice. This fiwrmtcfi, aays the Tnhunt, implies anoth er, which has nA yet reached m. Of course, the Hamilton county contest has been tempnrar Iv dirxMed of in some way or the balloting .or Speaker could not have begun; but there is no choice for Speii ker leads ns to fear that law and right have been overruled. MISCELLANY INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT MEETING. In compliance with a Resolution of the Greens borough Convention, a Rail Road Convention was held at Smithfisld, on Saturday, the 22d ult. On motion, Dr. Josiah O. Watson was appoint ed Chairman, and Wm. II. Morning and Thos. Bagley Secretaries. Co!. John McLeod, who was a delegate to the Greensboro' Convention, address ed his fellow-citizens in his usual felicitous man ner; first concisely reporting the proceedings at Greensboro' the enthusiasm, unanimity and fixed determination manifested there in relation to the construction of the North Carolina Rail Road, and then eloquently presenting its claims upon the State generally, and the people of Johnston partic ularly. He concluded with a complimentary al lusion to Gen. R. M. Sauadcrs, whom he had the pleasure of introducing. Gen. Saunderrs arose and expressed his surprise at a remark of the gentleman who had preceded him, viz : that there were enemies of tho project under consideration. He could conceive how some might fail to aid this measure, but that any person should be an enemy of the scheme, was not less unreasonable than that he should be his own ene my. This he conclusively demonstrated. He proceeded to deliver one of the most eloquent and patriotic addresses we have over heard, urging by facts and arguments, the construction of the Road, At one time we looked upon the most Baddcning picture of the impoverished and neglected condU tion of North Carolina, arising from the apathy and want of enterprise of her citizens ; ut another, the happy results of a construction of tho Road, in the increased value of its lands and its 'products, the checking of emigration, facilities for market, the diversion of trade to our own Towns, the means of speedy and clieap travelling, were so forcibly de picted, that the Convention were almost constrain ed to cry out, in concert with their orator "the Road must, and shall be built." At the conclusion, a number of shares were sub scribed for, and a general feeling of confidence ex pressed. . There was an effort made, (and we feel confidence of its success,) to form a company which will constitute one of the hundred to take the bal ance of stock which may remain unsubscribed for. Dr. J. 0. Watson, who is already one of the com pany of ne hundred, expressed a determination to take another chare in said hundred, if necessary. J. W. B. Watson, Pharaoh Richardson and Wm. S. Ballenger, were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions. On motion of Col. McLeod, a vote of thanks was tendered to Gen. Saunderj for his eloquent and pa triotic address. On motion of A. D. Northam, the thanks of the Convention were tendered the President and Sec retaries; and the Convention then adjourned.' J.O. WATSON, Pres't Wm. II. Mornikc, ) Titos. Bagley, Secretaries. . FRANCE. The last accounts from France do not lift (lie veil of doubt which has hung upon her political prospects since the dethronement of the citizen king. In glancing through bur Paris files, three incidents, of recent eccurrence, and somewhat sig nificant import, arrest our attention. The first is the discovery of a Legitimist conspiracy ; not very formidable, it is true, but important in connexion with the well-grounded suspicion that the principal parties for it are kept in the back-ground. Some forty-six gentlemen were arrested by the Commis sary of Police in a house of the rue Rumfcri, oc cupied by one Monsieur dcCHAMPAGNAL, president of this secret society, which by tho wiy, had taken the title of the "Legion of St. Hubert." The mem bers of this legion wore a card, on which was fig ured in relief the bust of Henry V with the in scription. "The orphan is strong in the hands of God." T he greater part ol the conspirators as severated that they had only assembled to consider tho constitutional' means of electing their candi date ; but others avowed that their object was to establish Henri V. on the throne of his ancestors. The second incident, to which we refer, is the reported address of President Bonaparte to the prefects of his creation for different departments. The President is said to have told them that they ought forthwith to prepare r the cn.-titutiuiul re-election of the present executive. Now as, in order to compass this, the constit ution must be seen te be far from an eu.;y one. ''Tlio cohot!tuti?r t'"- clares," says one of the journals propitious to the scheme, (Le Credit.) "ihst the President shall not be re-elected ; but it savs also that itself may be revised." In other words, the constitution must be made to give way to the ambitious designs of Monsieur Bonarakte .' The authenticity of the address to tho prefects of departments is denied by some of the journals, but not by the Mon'Ueur. "The coup d'etat is adjourned," says a Paris cor respondent of the London Globe, "but it is certain that Louis Napoleon will use all his efforts, before the expiration of his term, U prolong his authority. He has otten declared to intimate friends, that he would remain at the bead of the French nation while he lived no matter under what title." The third incident is a proposition to sell the diamonds of the crown, amounting in value to 29, 900,000 francs. The commission to which the subject was referred has reported against it t And this at a time when the excuse for adjourning the most necessary reforms is a want of money." "Who knows," says a Legitimist journal in opposi tion to the sale, "whether, in selling them to-day at a low price, we shall not soon havo to re-purchase them at enormous sacrifices 1 For who can say what universal suffrage may not have in re serve for ns ?" Another reason for the retention of the diamonds is, that "the collection is an his torical one, commencing with the sceptre of Charle magne, and ending with the sword of Austerlitz." A plain, matter-of-fact Red Republican has prov ed, however, that neither of those article is em braced in the collection. These "straws" will in dicate which way the wind blows at present in France, among, not the people, but the politicians. The people are, we believe, growing to be, in the mass, republican.

Bashfully that song was still, For started from out tho trees ; So the bird is hush'd, when the bramble bush Stirs with the passing breeze. Turn not so fearfully away 1 cannot bear to part. With any thing but hope and joy Iu the swelling of my heart. Look up to me with laughing eyes We shall meet agaiu ere long ; Aud when the greeting I shall have, Will be thy gentle song. So sing to me that song of joy, That song of summer bowers, Jlfiirimiring like the soft warm breath Of a south wind over flowers. 1 will k'ss thee as thou warblest on, My token as I part, And so will bear away with me T' e music in my heart. Curious Punishment for Conjugal Infideli ty. A few days ago, the inhabitants of Barnard castle, Durham, were amused by tho town crier proclaiming the following: 'Mr. John Kay is go ing to burn Mrs. Kay's clothes upon the Demesnes Hill, and he invites Mr. Hooper to tho fire which is now kindling." The crier commenced at Mr. Hooper's door, and it being the dinner hour, he was followed by a large concourse of people. They proceeded to the Demesnes field near the town upon a hill; a very larga fire of . wood and straw was made by Mr. Kay(who is an innkeeper in the town,) upon which he laid all the valuable wearing apparel and articles of his wife, which consisted of satin and silk dresses, including nearly the whole of her bridal garments, muslin dresses, shawls, victorines, bonnets, veils, caps, artificials, parasol a pair of beautiful stays, stockings, broo ches, rings, a fine silk cloak, a quantity of bed lin en, a pincushion, with the inscriptinn"wclcome lit tle stranger" ubon it, and a great many more clothe of all descriptions. These clothes were considered to be worth at least 50. It is sup posed that Mr. Kay's reason for doing this was conjugal infidelity on the part of his wife. In the evening of the same day a large crowd paraded the town with nn effigy, which was burnt in front of -Mr. Hooper's house in Gallgitc street. Incident in a Mad House. Some months oince, an incident occurred in our City Lunatic Hospital, of a very peculiar clfSracter. Mother and daugh ter both became inmates, and were placed in the same story of the building, where they had access to the same brill. They met, and recognized each other, though one had left the other, years ago, in Ireland. Both had crossed 'the ocean, become res idents lice and lost all knowledge of other's histo ry or fate j and both became bereft of reason, and came upon the public for support ; and in a mad house, surrounded by those 'who. were hopelessly insane, the child and parent met, and though rea son was dethroned, and each was there with a "mind diseased," yet Nature triumphed over' the clouded intellect, anil, for a brief moment, tho par ties talked of the land of their birth, and when they had separated from each other. This incident is of romantic interest, sufficient to suit the most anx ious inquirer after extraordinary adventures. Boston Herald, Dec. 20. Father .Miller dead. Mr. William Miller, familliarly known as "Father Miller," and as "Miller the prophet," died at his home in Kompton, Washington county, on the 20lh inst., aged about 63. Mr. Miller was a native of Pittsfield, Mass., and during the last war with England served as a captain of volunteers on the northern frontier. He was a shrewd but narrow-minded man, practi cal in affairs, though of an ardent and fanatical temperament. He began to speak in public as semblies upon the subject of the Millenium in 1833; and in ten years which preceded the time which he had set for tho consummation of all p"Oj)hecy,hc labored assiduously in the middle and northern States, averaging, it is said, nearly ono sermon a day for more than half that period. Ho was uneducated and not largely read 111 cveu the common English commentaries; his views were absurd, and supported but feebly, yet he succeeded in building up a sect of some thirty or forty thou- nd disciples, which disappeared rapidly alter the close of tho" dy of probation" in 1843, after which time Mr. Miller himself did not often advo cate or defend his views in public.

' SOMEBODY IN MY BED. Some famous writer, whose name has skipped my memory, once asserted thut he never opened a book or newspaper but what he learned something. As an offset to this, I can safely assert that I nev er listened to the bar room yarns of any company, however unintellectual in appearance it wore, without gaining a new idea, and occasionally one worth circulating. A week or two ago do ing my perigrinations through Northern Pennsylvania, spreading knowl edge among the denizens thereof, (I sell books) I just dropped in at a comfortable inn, where I con cluded to remain a day or two. After a good sub stantial supper, I lit a 'York county principle,' the like of which sell in those regions, at the rate of four for a penny, and seated myself around the bar room stove. There was the brawny butcher, the effeminate tailor, a Yankee fidler, two horse deal ers, a land speculator, blackleg, the village Escu lapius, and the Captain, who in consequence of be ing able to live on his means, was a man of no small importance, and therefore allowed to sit be fore the stove with tho poker to stir the fire a mark of respect granted only to persons of standing- , Yarn after yarn had been spun and the hour for retiring had arrived the landlord was dozing be hind his bar, and the spirit of the conversation was begining to flag, when tho Doctor whispered to me that if I would pay attention, he would top off with a good one. 'I believe, Coptain,' said the Doctor, I never told you about my adventure with the womtin at my boarding house, when I was attending the lec tures. 'No, let's have it,' replied the individual address ed, who was a short, flabby, fat man, of about fif ty ,.with a highly nervous temperament, and a very fat red face. 'At the time I attended the lectures, I boarded in a house where there were no females but the landlady and the old colored cook . Here the Doctor made a slight pause, and the Captain by way of requeuing him to go on, said 'well.'.:' :. ";.: ' : 'I often felt tho want of female society to soften the severe labors of deep study, and dispel the ennui to which I was subject' 'Well, said the Captain, One evening after listening to a long lecture on Physical Anatomy, and dissecting a large negro, fatigued in body and mind, I went to my lodg ings ' .': 'Well,' said ihe Captain. 'I went into the hall, took a lamp, and went di rectly to my room, it being then after one o'clock' .. 'Well.'. ;''-.. :; . . I placed the light upon the table, and commenc-1 ed undressing. 1 had hardly got my coat off when my attention was attracted to a frock, and a quan tity of petticoats lying on a chair near the bad j 'Well,' said the Captain, who now began to show signs that he was getting very deeply inter ested.' ' And a pair of beautiful shoes and stockings on the floor. Of course, I thought it strange, and was about to retire-but then I thought, as it was my room, I had at least a right to know who was in my bed- 'Exactly,' nodded the Captain. 'Well.' So I took the light, went softly to the bed, and with a trembling hand drew aside tho curtain. Heavens '. what a sight ! A young girl 1 should ay an angel about eighteen, was there asleep ' 'Well said the Captain, giving his chair a hitch. 'As I gazed upon her, I thought I never witness ed anything more beautiful. From underneath a little nightcap, rivalling the snow in whiteness, hung a stray ringlet, over a neck and shoulders of alabaster ' 'Well 1' said the excited Captaingiving anoth er hitch. Never did I set my eyes upon a bast more per fectly formed. I then took hold ol tho covcrlt ' 'Well,' said the Captain, throwing his right leg over his left. 'And softly pulled it down ' 'Well,' said the Captain betraying the utmost excitement. 'To her waist ' 'Well !' said the Captain dropping the newspa per, and again renewing the position of his legs. 'She had on a night dress, it buttoned up before, and I softly opened the two first buttons' 'Well ! !' said the Captain, wrought to the high est pitch of excitement. 'And then, ye gods ! what a sight to gaze upon a Hebe pshaw ! words fail. Just then ' WELL I ! !' said the Captain, hitching bis chair right and left, and squirting his tobacco juice a gainst the stove, so that it fairly fizzed again. 'I thought I was taking a mean advantage of her, so I covered her up, seized my coat and boots, and went and slept in another room. 'It's a Ije ! shouted the excited Captain, jump ing up and kicking over the chair. It's a lie !' I will bet you fifty dollars that you got into the bed!' i Stat of &ortl) Carolina. JOHNSTON COUTY.

The lime is full of interest. The coming iu of a new Administration the consequent broaching of a new policy touching the internal concerns of the country the new and most important issues arising from the late vast accession to the public domain, and the great national abjects associated with it the impcndinir difficulty in our relations with France, and the possible complication oi our onuirs with the troubles of Europe, conspire to create (treat expec tation as to the proceedings of the next Congress. 'I Tie approaching session will probably continue till late in the summer of 1850. The debates, from tho agitation of so many questions of vital interest to the Republic, will draw forth all the talent of Ihe Nation al legislature. To bring its deliberations home to th people, on each succeeding day, while measures are maturing, is. iu effect, to bring the whole nation into council. The discussion, spreading from the Capitol to the remotest parts of the Union, forms a public opinion which reacts upon Congress and con trols its decisions. Te become a useful instrument, however humble to assist the working of the admirable machinery ! ur popular institutions, is the ambition of the con ductor of the Globe- Extraordinary preparations have heretofore been made to meet the increasing demands or our raptdiy-iniproving and growing couu try for Congressional intelligence. The Globe Press has already enlisted the ablest Reporters yet known to Congress ; its materials and machinery are of the best sort: and the exclusive de votion of the individual who for so many years has made it his study to embody and publish the labors of Csngress, gives reason to hope that un advance will be made to the accomplishment of this under taking commensurate with its increased importance. But the accumulation of expense consequent on Ihe additional number of Reporters required the extra charges incurred in printing at night the debates of! the preceding aay (he vast addition made to the mass published by the protracted sessions and Ihe fuller reports given, will render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress shall so fur patronize it as to become a purchaser of such portion of the daily sheets issued, as shall contribute to make the reports that fill them. The undersigned has ventured on the preparation he has made for the next Session, in tho expectation that Congress will subscribe for as many daily sheets for each Member, at the subscriptiouf price, as will, iu part, defray the expense of report- ing, and give them circulation as Cungremiouul dtc-i !.?....!. , l'i.: i Uine.lllB III men m-yerui iiinti iuio. x nib win vimuic the Publisher to bear tho charge of reporting, aud it will give an impulse to the circulation of the Con gressional Print, which, although the cheapest in the Uuion, (Ihe expense of preparation considered) will yet yield sumcient profit to muke the system perma nent. John C Rives having purchased the interest of F P. Blair in Jackson Hall the printing office, ma chinery and material become the sole proprietoi thereof, aud will give his exe'usive attention to tin ('ongressiosal Dei artinent. J. C. Picket will conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the Newspaper F. P lllair retires from both concerns, with prayer for tli- ir permanent usefulness aud prosperity. The Globe will be published daily during the sen -I sion of Congress, and weekly the remainder of the year, and will undergo distribution in the form of o Weekly Globe, a Congressional , Globe, and an Ap pendix. The Weekly Globe will contain Agricultural and. miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally give de bates of such importance as command universal in terest. . The price of the Weekly Globe is reduced to one dollar, with a view to obtain a more general circula tion. Subscribers who have hitherto paid &2 per annum, will be charged only $1 after the expiration f the first year. The congressional Uloue will emooay, as it net done for the last sixteen yean, congressional pro. ceedinirs and debate exclusively. The Appendix will embrace tne revised sneecher separately, and the messages of t.e President of the United Mates and tne report ol we Head ol tlieJ Executive Departments. The cougeMiouul Globe snd Appendix will published as fast a the proceedings of Congress will make a number.

Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in th Globe save that which will be found in the Con gressional rejiorU.
