This Week in Washington, Both houses of Congress will again assemble in Washington, this morniag, fer the purpose of legis- lating upon the affairs of the country, and we hope with the honest and patriotic intention of calming the excitement which has existed so long in refer- ence to the territorial question. The Senate are entitled to the thanks of all good men for the able, fearless and conciliatory manner in which they have discharged their duties in passing the series of measures which are now lying on the table of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, awaiting the concurrence of that body, and which, if they should be sanctioned by a majonty of its members, will produce harmony and satisfaction throughout the Union. The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill is nearly dispesed of in the House, and will, in all probability, be finally passed in the course of to- day. The Senate bills will then be in order, and we hope they will receive prompt attention. perceive indications of a struggle as to which of those bills shall be first debated. We hope that no time will be lost in such a silly and childish pro- eedure. They are all connected, and hang to- @ether, more or less ; and as regards the pacifica- tion of the country, it is quite immaterial which one first receives the attention of the House. To prevent any ill feeling, however, we would suggest that they be taken up in the order in which they were passed by the Senate. This, we think, would obviate all dispute. There is urgent necessity for the immediate passage of each and all of them. When they shall have been disposed of—which we hope will be the case during this week—both branches of Congress will probably adjourn. ‘The Free School Law of New York, and Christianity. In the course of the approaching autumn, the people of this commonwealth will be calied upoa to vote on the new school law. Already, very warm discussions have taken place on the subject, and cenventions, in several districts, have been ealied, to examine the designs of certain philo- sophical blockheads, who, with apparent hypocriti- eal segacily, are endeavoring to make out of this sehool system a great polytechnic institution for political purposes, in which Christianity is not to be recognized, adverted to, or upheld; so that we may prepare our children to slide back iato the pantisocratic state of barbarism, advocated by the Tribwne—that moral tap-tub for catching the lees and dregs of society. This Tap-tud is in a con- stant state of folly and ferment, containing litte that is identified with the true and proper elements of society, or only co much as shows that it has @riginated with the public; and, as it blubbers and bubbles with its mixed matter, contiaually throws ap to the view a number of strange flies, which buzz about it, and feed upon its pestiferous sweets. | Even its exhalations are poigonous. The common receptacie of everything that falls into it, the Tup- tud is quite @ trap in its way; but, while confiaed to those who delight in feasting upon its contents, it cannot be very mischievous. The idea of professing a great regard for Chris- only valuable distinction the nation porsertes, as diflering from the Hindoos, the Mus- sulmans, or the Hottentote—and then advocating, that the great source of all moral life and energy shall be left to the chance circumstance of hours in after life—the idea of rearing children in the history of mere material facts, and of shutting out the great fact upon which n alone can build their hopes of consolation, in view of the fisnitless hereafter—the design of virtually applying the seal of the commonwealth to a parchment that shall treat the New Testament as the dream of a bygone age—the sinister preject and purpose of self-wor. shipping men to create man-idole, in the place of @od-worship, with the immediate desire to array the unfortunate and heaven-forgetting portion of the community against those who have been educated in the faith of their fathers—such ideas, designe, projects and purposes could only » from the genius of a man opposed to the belief which stamps us as a Christian nation. Sophistry ceases to be cunning, when it is detected; and the bad logic and viler principles maintained by the Tap tub newspaper must soon be so clearly per- eeived, that we have no fears that the people will discard, by the sanction of their votes, the only tree pilot given to mankind. Banish Christianity from the schools of a people known throughout the world as Christians | What man in his senses, with a recollection of the origin of our republican institutions, would sell so glorious a heritage for the mess of pot. gr promised by the philosophers of Tap-tub literature! ‘The man who would openly avow & sentiment so opposed to the instinctive | finpulses of every American breast—who would | deprive the next generation of those only pare | springs of kwowledge from which flow out, to bless | society, a thousand moral and invigorating streams —deserves the denunciations or the contempt | of an intelligent community. What mother or father would willingly shut down the gate of the first and best knowledge upon the child?) Where is there one eo base a seal the lipe of the instruc- tore of our offepring against the utterance of that truth which claims to have prepared a way for a happy future? Shall our ch: be taught the history of Cyrus, Alexander, Cassar, Nero and Na- poleon, and be told that the history of Him of Nazareth is a foble? Shall the offepring of a Chrie- tian nation be called upon to recite with en- thusiasm the mythological deeds of Jupiter, Her- eules, Juno, Mercury, and of the whole regency of the fabled heaven of the ancients, and not learn, also, the great principles of justice, trath and mer- ey, as proclaimed by Him who “spake as never man spake’ Shall the elevated opinions , of Plato, and of the philosophers of ( of So- ce and Rome, be listened to, while a deaf ear shail | be turned to the “still small voice” that gains its potent ministry from the once visible Perfection and Paraclete of the earth! We care not what | forme of belief are entertained by men—what ereeds there may be with reepect to the forms of worship— but we will never quietly submit to see | the enemies of society, and the haters of all that fis well established and wholesome for the wood of | mankind, setting themeelves np ae the idols of a | Christian people.

Freaxs or Leoistators—Tueim INnrerFeRENCE WITH WHaT DoES Not Concern Tuem.—The Legisla- ture of Pennsylvania, having nothing to do, we sup- pose, and being under the impression, perhaps, that it was better to commit mischief than be idle, passed a law, the other day, prohibiting the circulation of the small netes of banking institutions of other States within that commonwealth, and inflicting a penalty of twenty-five dollars on all who should not respect it. Itis said to be the height of ab- surdity to attempt to dam the falls of Niagara with a pitchfork ; but it is not a whit more so than for the Legislature of Pennsylvania to pase such an enactment, and expect the people te obey it. The result is just what might be expected—the law is adead letter. The forbidden bank notes are as current as they ever were in Pennsylvania, and, from the reeeption which it has met with, we think it very likely that any person who should institute a prosecution under that absurd law, would be very apt to receive a coat of tarand feathers for his pains. There is a similar law on our statute books; but, notwithstanding its pains and | penalties, there are very few of our merchants | who decline receiving the notes of banks of ether | | States—even those of Pennsylvania—in payment for merchandise. That statute remains nominally in force; but itis never alluded to, except as an evi- | dence of the judyism of the sages who passed it; and we think the same fute is in store for the enactment recently passed by the wisdom et Penn- sylvania, in legislature assembled. State legislators frequently commit great ab- surdities. The combined wisdom of this State, at their last session in Albany, deliberated upon, and discussed for several weeks, the opinioa of the people of the Empire State on the subject ef slavery; | and, after a great deal of wrangling and disputation, the blockheads gave an opinion as was an opinion, that their constituents were in favor of the Wilmot poviso being extended to the new territories;jand they accordingly, with a delectable degree of impu- dence, “‘instructed” the New York delegation in Congress to oppose any government for these terri- Faun Evecrions—Tus Lano Question amp Socia- ysm.—It appears that a meeting of the National Re- form Associauon of the Seeond Ward is to be held in the Park on Thursday next, and that Senator ‘Walker, of Wisconsin, is to address the meeting. No man should lose sight of the fact that there is | As the herald of “ coming events whieh cast their | tayor of the shadows before,” it may not be amiss for us to in- form our readers of the nature and objects of this boards of education, trustees, sehool committees | movement. It is an organization intended, ‘avow- edly, to influence the coming elections, and it pos- seese ramifications in every ward in the city. ‘The first meeting is to be held in the Second ward, and every other ward in succession is to be agitat- ed. The main feature in the movement is the land question, and the following pledge has been adopted by the officers and the Central Committee, con- sisting of one member from each ward :— ‘We whose names are annexed, desirous of restoring to man his natural rights to land, do solemnly agree, that we will not vete for any man for the Presidency or Cor will not pledge himself, in writing, to use all the influence of his station, if elected, to pre- vent all turther trafficin the pete lands of the States and of the United States, and to cause them to be laid oat in farms and lots for the free and exclusive use of ‘actual settlers ; er for any man for the Governorship or the Legislature who will not so pledge himself to the freedom of the public lands, to a limitation of the ‘uantity of land to be obtained by any individual reatter in this State, to the exemption of the home- stead from any future debt or mortgage, and to a limi- tation to ten ot the hours of dal rf labor on public works or in establishments chartered by law. Jobn H. Keyser, of the Industrial Congress, is the member for the Second ward, and also the city secretary. The general secretary is George H. Evans, and the treasurer John MeCaffil, jr. Besides the city of New York, the association has branches in Brooklyn, Williamsburg!, Green Point, Hoboken, and Jersey City. The principle contained in the foregoing pledge is to be made an igsue for the fall elections, tegether with the fol- lowing :— Prohibition of government debts. Repeal of laws for the collection of debt. Direct taxation. Freedom of trade. Disbandment of the standing army and navy. The various plaus of co-operation aud association for the organization of labor The best system of town- ship education, the expense to be paid by a tax to be raised in the township, and not to go out of it, This “Young Awerica” party intend, also, with the land question, an issue for the Presidential | election ia 1852. Tae same party obtained from Mr. Van Schaick, late democratic candidate for the mayeralty of New York, the following declara- tion, as a guid pro quo for their support: “It would be a source of unmingled delight to me that the general government should parcel out the public lands free of cost, to the people who would eul- tivate them.”? It seems that Wisconsin, in the far West, is the focus of this agitation, and that its great gun is Senator Walker. That it has obtained a firm foot- hold there, cannot be denied, as appears from the following resolution, passed unanimously by the yearly conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Con- nexion, held at Walworth, in November, 1848; Resolved, That the principles advoeated by the Na- tional Keform Association are the principles of the rories that did not contain a prohibition against s!a- very. It was only the other day that the Legisla- ture of New Hampshire thought they would give the different railroad companies in that State the benefit of a little of their wisdom—of which sub- stantial and valuable commodity they no doubt sup- posed they possessed a superabundant share—as well as help them along in the management of their busi- ness. They therefore passed a law forbidding those companies giving a free passage to any person over their roads. Now, we have yet to leara that railroad companies, or any other corporations, are over generous in the matter of transporting nassen- gere free, in New Hampshire or any other State, or that the men who control them are incapable of managing their own affairs without the interference of the legislature. If the railroad companies in New Hampshire are an exception to the general rule, they must be controlled by very liberal men indeed. If we are not much mistaken, the Le- gislature of that State, too, “instructed” the New Hampshire delegation in Congress, as tothe way in which they should vote on the territorial question. We think the present is a fitting time to give State legislatures a little piece of advice, and we hope they will take it in good part. We will give itto thei free gratis, and for nothing too, because our Legislature has not yet gone so far as to pro- hibit us from doing such a kind action without pay- ment. Our advice, then, is, gentilemen—* Be good enough to mind your own business,and meddle not } with the affairs of your neighbors, who pay you for attending to your proper dutiés, at the rate of four or five dollarsa day, which is more than many of you are worth. Let the cobbler etick to his last.” Tue Heavtu or tie Crry—Pveiio Nuisances. —The Board of Health, following in the wake of the Grand Jury, have at length come to the deci- sion that the bene-boiling establishments up town are nuisances. Accordingly, the City Inspector has issued a five days’ notice to Mr, Garrison, to remove his establishm in Forty-sixth street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, In the case of Mr. Meadman, the Board of Health have also decided that his establishment, in Forty-fourth street, is a nuisance; but he has removed it to Forty-first street. The Grand Jury, however, have indicted him for the latter, so that he is caught both ways. The weekly report of the City Inspector is not yet ii d, but we learn that the mortality is, fortunately, not increasing, and there are no cholera symptoms reported, as yet, by the physicians. The fatal types of dysentery and diarrhea do yet prevail—Randal’s Island Ceme- tery, or the Potter's Field, as it is called, may be taken asa test. The interments there, the week before last, were 57; for theflast week, they are only 52; and there are few cases of those diseases which bear an affinity to cholera among them. It is also worthy of remark, that very few deaths are reported in the emigrant ships, this summer; whereas, last year, they were very numerous. It is fortunate for the inhabitants of New York that the epidemic has not as yet visited us, it has done some of the Western cities; for, had this “angel of death spread his wings oa the bist,” the weekly bills of mortality, in the present filthy state of the city, would have presented a terrible array Tue Statvr or Jown ©. Catnoun.—in cruising about the scene of the wreck of the Elizabeth, at | Fire Island, on Monday last, Captain Waldron, in the cutter Morris, discovered a box under water. Immediately after, Lieut. Robert J. H. Handy, of the same cutter, took off his clothes, and diving down, found the box to correspond, in every re- spect, with the description of the box which con- tained the statue of John C. Calhoun, lost in wreck. By come awkwardness or other of a person on board, in attempting to hook it up, the lid was | breken off, and it was found the statue was injured. The boatswain then stripped, and dived down, to ascertain all he could about it, when he felt the legs and other parts so distinetly as to leave no doubt of the certainty of the object of search being found Captuin Waldron then requested Mr. Joha LD. Johnston, of Islip, L. 1, owner of the yacht | Twilight, which was lying near, to have her an- chored immediately over the spot, with ‘a view to | the raising of the box.

A sort of inquisitorial ex- amination was held concerning it, yesterday, at which ‘@ Senator from a Western State and several clerks of the Land Office were present and examined. Some of the persons examined refused to testify in the matter. Another of the witnesses testified to certain things, and the result was, that the council broke up in a hur- ry.

Wecare not how abundant money may be, how easy loans may be effected, hew low the rate of” interest may be, fancy stocks cannot be sustained at present prices. They are now held at prices so muck above what they might possibly be worth. for the chanees of speculation, that no one will enter tho- market as parchasers; hence the limited transactions, the daily @gtuations in quotations, and the apathy among all who are fortunate enough not to be holders of apy fancy securities.
