The Apportionment

- Leavitt has somthoughts on this subject which deservo attention. The House abandonod a ratto which they had adopted by a niiijority of 50, and adopted one they had four times rejected- because the Senate would have t so. But why was not the round number 70.000 adopted? Why add on G8ü? ETBecause add.'ng the 680 takes away four members from the free States - one from Massachuseto, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, without subtracting any from the slave States. Thua the free States lose four members, which they might have had ten yaars, and to which they were justly entitled. The fice State have 135 member3- "the slave States, 88-- Northern majority, 47. Thus slavery, as usual, had her finger in this dish a!so. The vote adopting this ratio was carried by a change of ground of three slave-holders, and four of their 'natural alJies' from N;v Hampshire. Iloward, of Miciiigan, vo;cd fcr it. (EJTIon. E. D. White. M. C. from Loiüsiana, obtained the passage of a bilí through the House forthicitk lor the abolition of imprisonment for debt in certain cases. The reason oí hts zcal was that one of his consiituents was in jail in the District for debt. At the same time, by the laws of Congress, men, women and children, if slaves, are impritjoned for their mnster'a debts, till they can be sold The law of the United States is so humane that it will not ermit the imprisoning of a man for liis own debis, but bids the officer take his woinun. or his woman'p childien. and sell at aucttuii to the highest bidder, ior his debts! {t5 Kidnapping is becomin very frequent in New York. The People's Press, which is su8tained by colored pe pie, advises them not to lie down on their pillows without some weapon of defence at hand, as their liberües are not worth having, if they are not worth defending.QThe'Vigüance Committee of Albany are doing a bri?k business in their line.
