Mr. Hamlin presented a pel it ion from llio
citizens nf I lie Stale of Maine praying for the
repeal or modification of the furtive slave
law. It was referied to the Judiciary Com
ini'toe. Mr. HntliT miJ lie did not earn whether
ihe petition was referred or lint he would
have! nothing: to do with Iho subject the law
r.ibhl he repealed or not.
Mr. Butler considered the net of the las.1
ewion iim temporary oblablcs only in the
way of (he stream of fanaticism. He had said
at tlm Inst session ami now, that he would
have nothing to do with the subject, arid

I.Ir. Hale said the fugitive slave bill had

Mr. Cooper said (hat tho majority of his

law. The legislative acts spoken of had not
been icpealed, because of local politics, iioi

Mr. Illicit deshfd that the (pjalilicalious

Mr. Clay oll'ered the following resolution :
Ucsolved, Thut the President bo required
lo lay before Ihe Senate, if compatible with
Ihe public interest, any information he may
possess in regard lo the alleged recent case
of forcible resistance lo the execution of the
law of the United Slates, in the city of Boston
and to commiiicnlo lo Ihe Senate what mea
sures he hns adopted to meet such an occurr
ence, ami whether, in his opinion, any Hd
dilional legislation is necessary to meet Ihe
exigency of the case, and lo more rigorously
execute the existing law.
Mr. Fonte introduced a joint resolution au
thorizing a naval vessel lo receive and bring
to this country Kossuth and his companions.
House -Mr. Stanley asked what would be
come o! the River and Harbor bill.
Mr. McLane, of Md., said the resolution
would cut it off.
Mr. Stanly objected.
Mr. Bayly moved to suspend the rules, but
the motion did not prevail, and the House
went into Committee of the Whole, and look
up the Itivcr and Haibor bill.
Mr. Bayly remarked that the general appro
priation bills were in great danger and would
be in greater danger to-morrow. There are
but twelve days of the session left, and elev
en general appropriation bills are lo be acted
on. These bills have logo to the Senate, and
the amendments acted on when they come
back. He wished to say in reference to the
elTorls lo prolong discussion, under Ihe five
minutes' rule, that he had stated that unless a
different disposition bo manifested, the gen
eral appropiiations cannot pass, and a special
session of congress will be inevitable. Ten
of the eleven appropriation bills have been re
ported, and not one of them has passed.
Mr. McLano said it was his anxiety to re
main here no matt.r how late, until the bill
be reported lo the House.
Voices Agreed Agreed !
Mr. Bayly remarked that observation was
entirely unnecessary, and that he had exerted
himself lo get clear of this bill.
Mr. Ashmun asked whether si.v. motions
for the committee lo rise had not been made,
and all by Democrats ?
Mr. Venablu said he made a motion for
tho ' committee to rise, and would do so
again.
Mr. McDonald had oflered an amendment
making an appropriation for the Wabash
river, and it was voted down.
Mr. McGanghey proposed to alter the
amount, appropriating 540,000 for this pur
pose, and made some remarks thereon.
Mr. Bayly desired to call attention lo (ho
fact that ihe gentleman (McGanghey) had
declared that the appropriations were proper
in themselves, and so far as tho country at
large is concerned, ought In be voted down.
Mr. McGanghey I ask if there be a new

Mr. Bayly said he knew something about
hatbois, nod ho undertook to say that what
the gentleman complained of improved Iho
harbor. Laughter. The object is an e.vpen-j
diiurtj of money. If the bar hail not been
made by nature, the gentleman would have
asked for a breakwater. Laughter.
A crowd gathered in the vicinity of these

Mr. Claik went on. Ilo wished to say, to
those who will deal fairly, and prefer com

which Ihe gentleman suggests rentiers it dif

when tho wind is in a pellicular direction.

Mr. Bayly I should be very much inclined

the ungenerous fling he made ul me. He
spoke of my standing in my boots, and of my

The gentleman wears his on his head. In
creased laughter. I wear mine for use. I
should think but for his roinaiks about juve

head for ornament. As for standing high in
my boots, I came here six feel, and I do nut
leproach the gentleman if he only measure

Tremendous laughing, and the confusion
was so great that it was wilh Ihe greatest

We observe by the pioceedings of the
Legislature, on Friday the lllh inst., that
Mr. Penniman from the Committee on In
land Navigation, made a report in favor of
the repair of the eastern bank of the Sns.
qnehaniia, in front of Sunbury. We are
glad that there is at last some move made
in this matter, which is simply an act of
sheer justice that should have been awarded
long since. Had these damages ben sus
tained by an individual, redress would have
been given without delay. This Borough
has already incurred a heavy debt to guard
against the injuries caused by the erection
of the Shamokin Dam, and unless the river
bank is rip-rapped, all the labor and ex
pense will be lost.
THE VOSTAKE BILL. '
The postage Bill passed by the House
has been considerably amended in Com
mittee in the Senate, and bad as some of
the members of the House had made it in
some respects, the Senate Committee have
made it much worse. The Senate Com
mittee, in their wisdom, have struck out the
provision for the free circulation of news
papers within the County, or 30 miles from
the office of publication, while every ad
vantage is given to city publishers. The
House, we are sure, will never yield in
this matter. The Committee has also made
the rales five cents for unpaid, and three
cents for paid letters. Two cents pre-paid
in all cases, and the abolition ol the frank
ing privilege, except to Pust Masters)
would produce more revenue, give greater
satisfaction lo the people and to the Post
Masters, and is what Congress should do, if
the members all possessed the requisite
patriotism. One of the most absurd provi-
''"lis of the Senate Com mil tee is, that news-
papers must De dried lielore ttiey are sent.

The present session of this body is fast
drawing to a close. Although there are a
number of important bills that should be
speedily acted an, but little has yet been
done. The hour for the meeting of the
Senate is 12 o'clock, M., but they seldom
get into operation until half past twelve,
and usually adjourn about 4 o'clock P. M.

half the day in quibling and useless discus
sion. Such was the case a few days since
in discussing a question of order, on the in- j
troduction of a bill by Air. Denton, which
had been rejected, and which was not1
only wholly out of order, but which he
knew would be rejected again, as it was,
by a large vote. The appropriation bill
has not yet made any progress. The River
and Harbor bill is now before the House
and will pass. The Postage bill it yet in
the hands of the Senate, unfinished, al
though Monday of last week was fixed
upon for its consideration. The Talent
Office bill will most probably be passed
over until next session.-
An amendment to the tariiTof 1816, in.
creasing the duty on Coal and Iron, &c,
will most probably be tacked to some
bill, and may probably pass, as a number of
Southern members are favorably inclined
towards the measure, although, we regret
to say, some of our dough-faced Pennsyl
vania politicians are disposed to give it the
cold shoulder. s -'

that it is always the best and safest plan

EIOITIVE SLAVES.
Jt will be seen by an account in another
column that the negroes in Iloston, under
the encouragement of the abolitionists, have
set the laws at defiance, by entering into
the court room and taking a fugitive slave
by force from the oliiceis of Justice, jf
these abolitionists had a little Lynch law
applied to them, it might probably teach
them some respect for the laws under which
they live, and perhaps owe their existence.

The man who wishes lo make a business
of marketing fruit, and obtain a regular year
ly income, must plant many kinds. Some
kinds will succeed best this year, and others
next. An individual in western New Yoik
sold, the Newark Advertiser says, in 1840,
twenty-five hundred dullais wotth of peaches
from about 12 acres. Fruit was scarce that
year, and peaches sold ut a high price. A
large cultivator of the grape, on the Hudson,
sells sometimes $5000 or U0O0 worth of
grapes. Another individual of Monroe cn.,
N. Y., sold in 18-16, f-140 worth of Northern
Spy uud lloxbury Russet apples from one
acre. A general assortment of Iho best kinds
of fruit will be likely lo furuisb every year,
with good culture, one or more highly profit
able crops. In Ihe neighborhood of a large
city, like Philadelphia, fruits always meet
with a ready sale, and they are highly con
ducive to heahh. -
