Taylor, by representing him as a Wilmot Proviso manat the North, and at the South as beirig fuvoroble to the extension, of slavery.

TnS Difficulty Settled.—ln iho early pari of last week,'Col. .loflerson Davis, (U. S. Sena tor from Mississippi,), sent a challenge to Col. Wm. H. Biseell, (Member of Congress from Illinois,) in consequence of Col. 13. having inti mated in a speech'that Col. Davis didn't do all the fighting at the battle of Buena Y,ista. The challenge was accepted, and Thursday last agreed upon as the day of meeting. But, on the evening boforo the duel was to take place, the difficulty was honorably adjusted. Tim Washington cor respondent of the in his letter of Thurs day last, says—“ The much talked of difficulty between Col. Davis of Mississippi, and Cot. Dissell, of Illinois, was amicably settled last night by tho personal Inlesvention of the Presi dent. They were to havo fought ’this morning at six o'clock, with muskets, at fifteen paces.— The preliminaries were all settled. Kverbody rejoices at tho happy termination of this affair.” TUB AMERICAN UNION. A distinguished missionary once said—“My heart always leaps up when 1 yc In a foreign. Kind, Ihe stars and stripes, of my country. 1 forgot ull her sectional division*, and think of her as ono groat country, which Gad has blessed above all others on the earth.*-’ The great mass of llio people love to think of the United Slates ms one grout country, and the idea of it dissolution of the Union is übliorcnl to them, ' In, New Orleans, at a recent celebration of the Landing of the Pilgrims, (ho fo'lowing sentiment was offered by tho lion. S. S. Prentice—“ The Union ; may it bo perpetual! May the time never arrive when a son of Now ’ England slta l ! be a foreigner in New Orleans, or a creole a foreigner in Now England!" On the same occasion, Judge Dullard offered llio fol lowing— ** Tho Unton of these States; it must bo preserved in spite of the fanaticism of a few zealots of the North, or a fow hoi heads of (lie South. Gen. Houston, in tho U. S. Senate a‘fcluut time since,' concluded, his great speed) on the slavery question with theso words—*' 1 wish, if this Union must bo dissolved, (hut its ruins may bo the munu nienl of my grave, and the graves oh my family. 1 wish no epitaph to bo written (o tell that I survived the ruin of this glorious Union." The nbletncmber of Congress from this district, Mr. M'Lanahan— whoso speech we publish to day—concluded his re marks in tho House of Representatives, thus— " What, sir, dissolve this Union J—a Union, cemented by the highest and holiest associations of tho past the proud triumphs of the present, and tho glorious prospects of tho future! Never! Dissolve this Union ! God of my country, forbid it!" Tho feeling here indicated pervades, we ffonhl not, the hearts of an overwhelming majority at tho North and the Soulli, the East ami tho West. A convinc ing proof of this, wore proof necessary, lies in (he tyd, that these." zealots and hotheads," have no in. fluenoe over the groat mass of citizens. A public man ,ean.scarce perform a mere suicidal ad, thart to advocate measures tending, in the remotest degree, towards disunion. The States whose legislatures pass blustering and nullifying resolutions, wilt soon find that they have weakcnaU»the|r influence, even with the Slates on whoso sympathy and support they counted. The spirit of union is. strong between (he sister Stales. Tho perception of the advantages Hawing from (ho Union, (hu glorious recollections of (he past, (lie bright and expanding visions of tho fulure,'mid shove all, the sweet chorda of Christian* love which we would fern hop* will slant! the strongest strain, forni a bond of Union, which (ho V zealots and' hoi heads ” cannot sever., ADMISSION OV CALIFORNIA. In (ho National House of Hcprescntaiives, on (he 37th ult M Mr. Dorr gave notice that he would shortly introduce a bill admitting California, Into the Union with her present boundaries, as fol lows : “ Jin ad lo admit iht Slate of California into the .Union'' T Vhertat* The people of California have formed forthomipWoa n Constitution nrtd State Govern* ment, nnd.nppUod for. admission Into the Union as ft Sluts; and . • < \Vhtm i, 'Hie said Constitution tins been of* Dctally,communicated to Congress, and is rrpub lioah in Ub character; then foie, r ~ S«c. 1..

THIS FEDERALISTS AND SLAVERY* The Wasirngton /?epu6//c—tho organ of the President anil hie‘cabinet—has at .last taken a position on tho slavery question. Thai j)*per how boldly advocates thV policy of Gen..Oass—that of mifinleroeniitm • on' ihfi part of Congress op the 'subject of 'slavery.; and it goes' on, to show 1 , by-solid argument, lhal.lhc people of;lhe-territo ries themselves have tho right to form their own constitutions. ' This hak been tho position of the Democratic, party fromlhq firsthand we arodierlauily glad to perceive that the-President'and his Cabinet,'and hi*, accredited editors, hatfe been forced, in self defence, to assume the same ground as that advo cated by Gen. Cass in his “ Nicholson Letter,” Thai lutlor was biliorly denounced by the Feder alists of this State, and the sentiments it promul gated were assaijed In the fiercest manner possi ble. Gen. Cass was termed a* { dough-faco ” by his revilers, and nil the foul epithets that, malice ami hatred could invent wore heaped upon him because of the smiUnienls proclaimed in his let ter. • ' M ANY. Gen- Taylor, on (he other hand, had no opinion on the slavery question, nor indeed qn any sub ject whatever, in the North his friends declared that he-was favorable ,to the so-called Wilmot Proviso. ■ In the South his friends pointed to his’ hundreds of slaves, as the besfargnmeni that he was favorable to tho institution of slavery. .Thus was the political canvass conducted, and thus were the people cheated and hoodwinked, Jly (his. system of fraud and falsehood, the. Federal ists succeeded in defeating that great American statesman, Gen, Cass—a man who had. opinions of iris own, and who.had (ho honesty and the nerve to declare them, lie did nol'ask the people to voto fur him in (he dark, nor did he, like a hypocrite, assume two fanes—ono for the North, and another for tiro South. No—Gen. Cass was not the man to bo guilty of such.base stratagem ; he was not the demagogue to countenance such trickery, even to gain tho Presidency. Ho pub lished his opinions to tho world, that all might know them. Gen. Taylor, therefore, never could have been elected had ho, liko Gen. Cass, expressed his opinion in regard to slavery. Nor do we find fault with him now because ho agrees with Gen. Cass, as to tho proper mode of settling this vexed question; on the contrary we are glad to see him exhibit symptons of rightmindednoes on a question of such vital interest to the peace of our Union; but Wc do think that ho and his cab inet should come out and acknowledge that they are indebted to Gen. Cass and his supporters for having first suggested the policy of non-inlerven* lion by Congress on tho subject of slavery. If they arc converts to tho doctrines of Gen, Cass, they should acknowledge tho, fact, and they would Do tho more honored for (ho course they now pursue, Ui\j, in tins Slate, how stand tlnso who were llio supporters of Gen. Taylor, and who. at the same lime denounced the Nicholson loiter of Gen. Cass 1 Can they continue to applaud Gen. Taylor after lip has adopted the sentiments of the Nicholson letter as Ms own.l . Can they, in the. face of their former professions, commend Gen. Taylor for pursuing the very course they de nounced Gen, Cass for pursuing 1 Oh, yes— Federalism can do anything. Nothing is 100 rcchlosß, nothing 100 inconsistent, for that guliu ptreha parly not lo be guilty of. And yet, In the. face of all this, Federal editors have tho hardi hood to tails to Democrats, and upbraid them because of their “inconsistencies!” Like the hardened culprit detected in guilt, they attempt lo hide their own dishonest acts by raising a cla.noj against those who expose them.

News— have wanted a graoTdoul of ink and paper, in thou efforts lo cohvincd the people Ihdl 'lfio Democrats of this county,- a - , few years since, advocated jtlie tariff, of 1842. Various resolutions, adopted by the democra cy of this county, are re-published, as proof of.the facf< Now, it was entirely unnecessary to expend so much 'ink in .attempting to prove that 'which no one denies. We admit, and so will every Demo crat admit, that the democracy of this county, as welt as the democracy of the whole Stale,’wore at one lime the advocates of tho tariff of 1843, or at least woro satisfied with that tariff. And we admit, too—if it bo any satisfaction to the Federalists end their guerilla allies in this county—that at tho lime of the passage of tho tariff of 1846, many Demo crats in this and all other. counties*, of tho Stale were- doubtful whether, U would .work -as favorable as ils friends predicted it would.. Daniel Webster, and olhor.leading Federalists, insisted that it would not produce one half as much revenue as the.tariff of 1842,produced. Robert, j.. Walker,. and other Democratic, statesmen, on tho other hand, predicted that it would yield considerable* more revenue than was produced by the tariff 0f.1842; ’and that it would also be more beneficial. in its opciatidns to the counlry at largo. j- Well, what has been the result? Were the Dem , ocrulic statesmen correct in" their predictions, or - were the Federalists 7 Tho tariff of 1848 has been , fairly tested, and. the result of its operations is the , best answer wo can point Jit has yielded, annu ally, about nine millions ,«pre revenue to the gov ( eminent than was yieldta-by'the tariff" iff 184 SJ , In addition to this it lias operated to the advantage of all interests of the country. While thoTcpcal of (ho prohibitory and. restrictive duties, of tho act of 1849, and (lie substitution in their place of reasona ble revenue rates, levied on articles imported ac cording-to their actual value,-! has increased the revenue and augmented our foreign trade, all the great interests of the country have been advanced and promoted.. The great' and important interests of agriculture, which had been not only Ido much neglected, jml actually taxed Under the protective policy, for the benefit of other interests, have been relieved of tho burdens which that policy imposed on them; and our farmer's, under a more just and liberal poljcy, are finding new nnd profitable mar* kefs abroad lor their augmented produce. With these undeniable fasts before ns, is ll not strange that any man can have the effrontery to advocuto tho restoration of.the- tariff of 18437 — Federal scribblers, who are either too dull of com prehension, or too' indolent to read and inform themselves on the subject of tho tariff, cun talk flippantly about the inoonsiatoheios of tho Demo cratic party, but, this kind of twaddle is no argu ment against the present tariff. ~ Had the tariff of 1846. failed in accomplishing what’ its frlendi predicted—had the revenue of government decreased under its operation—had the predictions of Federal speech makers and editors been verified—then indeed, the; Democrats would have asked for the repeal of that eel. But, this has not boon the case, ami tho Democracy of I’ennsyl vunia, whatever their former opinions may have been, «ro the firm fust friends of. the present tariff. They have taken their position arid will maintain it, despite tho taunts of political enemies, or hired cm missarics. ” Cofrcipom'cncobf t!rt.Voluntt;«r. LETTER PROM HARRISBURG, HarViissoru, March C, 1850. Mr. Editor— On Friday, Mr. ftuhfenburg, Chair, man of Iho Committee on Militia, reported against a bill entitled “An act relative Jo the officers and ! privates of tho Ist and 2nd Regiment of Penney! Ytinia Volunteers, who served in tho army of the I United Stales in tho war with Mexico." Tho object of (his bill.was to make additional compen- < Ration to tho nobis and gallant sons of the Keystone Stale, who in the recent struggle with Mexico, so • chivalriously supported the honor of Pennsylvania. , By the G2nd and G3d sections of tho act of 1822 it : is provided inter alia, that our troops when in the U. S. service “shall receive like pay and rations | and other emoluments as are, or shall be allowed and granted by the said United Stales tu the officers, noncommissioned olfieors and privates of tho rcgu» lur army at the timo they shall bo in service.* 1 Our volunteers received the pay, rations, &e.,-allowed by the United Slates, and the proposition was to test whether, under the act above refereed to, they, were entitled to receive in addition from tho Slate, an amount equal to what they had already received from tho General Government. Tho Committee hold that llxr State woe only bound when the U; S. neglected, or rofypcd (p pay ; and that the set of 'S3 was a-guarantee that the compensation allowed by (ho Federal Government to its own soldiers should bo paid to those furnished by tho Slate. Tho Committee regretted that an imperious sense of duly constrained them, to this conclusion. They acknowledged that evsry proper compensation should be muds to tho patriots who so rtdbly maintained tho honor of our country on the buttle Reids of MoxjcOf but they doomed it to bs their paramount duly to the people of Pennsylvania to say that they had " no i ight to recommend payment from the State Treasury of any sum which is not clearly duo by the exiviing laws of tho Commonwealth.*' Although the report of tho Committee is adverse to tho claims of the petitioners, it is said that the friends of the mca. sure will call U up so as to have a final action upon It by the Senate, Should this bo so, you may expect numberless speeches for. Buncombe. The apportionment bill has passed a second road ing In tho House, as it was reported, by tho major' tty of the Committee. With same trivial alterations it will bo sent to the Senate where Dost holds Ingle* nous sway. Derry. .Bn(rerlii£ tu Mlnciola aiuouK the ludtani. The Mlnosuta Register, of llic 9th ult., say s o parly has arrived ol MondoU from tho farther trading posts on the Minesola river, bringing the most painful intelligence of the present condition of tho Slsscldn bands of Sioux Indians. The snow isunusnally deep, and tho boffalo have abandoned their usual haunts. Tho Sisicton Sioux depend almost altogether upon hunlirvg fur food. . They raise some corn, which is always cach'd near the summer villages when they go away in the full on their hunt, and the movement of the buffalo havbul ways been so irregular and uncertain,thnlsomelinies they have to go such distances as renders it next to impossible for them to get back to thclr supplies of corn duiing tho severity of winter. Such is the ex. trornity to which the growler number of the Sissetons are now reduced, and the last report brought in from their camp, high up on tho Cheyenne : river, is tint they hud .oaten up nil their (legs and undressed skins, and would soon have to report to their horses fur food, jf the faint hopes which they still have of. finding a few buffalo to protract (heir existence until the ■now melted a little, ore not realized. Some slrag* gtors and small parties which had hot gone (osuoh a distance, had succeeded in fretting into thoir villages in (ho utmost stale nfdestitution.

From (he letter of the Paris correspondent of (ho Public Ledger , wo take the fallowing extracts. The letter is dated Paris, Fob. 7, 1850 : U is alleged and generally credited, that (ho.whole of the Souteastcrn portion of Franco is on (he verge of on outbreak; and this slate of things is mainly attributed to the intrigues and'incendiary publica tions poured into Franco from Switzerland, whence Ooiehot and Pyul, and other refugees circulate their stimulating Socialist doctrines, At Lyons more than 200 men have been arrested tin. der no other pretence than that they were poor and houseless! and-in hinny of the dopiuitmenls (ho cru* sado against the,Socialists,press is carried un with unremitting vigor. In fact tho present staid uf things seem lilllo assured. Whilst one party assorts * (hot Louis Napoleon only seeks to excite the people (p sueh a point of resistance os to afford a pretext for a coup d'etat and to overthrow tho Assembly, it seems very eleur that the Socialist party are very de sirous to overthrow tho Government and erect uric of thoir own. , The provincial journals nro full'.of details of tho war waged by the perfects pftho departments against (ho Democrats and Socialists. From one end uf Franco to the other the tribunals are.engaged in tho UUI of hawkers of pamphlelmnd ofSooialist nows* papers exercising thoir calling without duo license.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON* Slavcry»-Dlr. Calhoxm’s Views* Washington, March 4. . In the Senate to-day. the Hon. John. C.'Calhoan having tho floor, briefly staled his inability to address the Senate in personj and returned thanks for (ho courtesy which the Senate had extended him, in per mitting him to have, his views upon the great,ques tion of present, agitation-delivered 'by proxy.’ He Ihenaskcd Mi. Mason to road his speech for him, Mr. Mason then proceeded to feud the speech.— Mr. Calhoun commenced' by asking—“ What can bo done to save tho Union 7” It was necessary, first, to find the cause of the danger, before a remedy could be applied. The danger aroflc—first. from the 'discontent in all the Souther States, which commen ced with tho agilalion of the slavery- question and has continued, ever since. The question was What has .caused Hie disquiet?” It resulted from , the belief on the part of the Southern Stales, that they could not live in the Union, under the ex isting state of things, with safety to their honor and interests. ' He proceeded nest to show, by statistics, that tho I equilibrium of the different sections of the Union has been lost, In consequence of 'the increase of pop ulation in tho North j the slat? of affairs placed the control of thn Government exclusively in the hands of (he North—giving llism a majority in the stales, and a largo majority in tho population, which would be largely increased by the next census. In add), lion to this, the newly abqulrcd territory would also add, speedily, at least five now’Slates, which would be admitted to tho North—while no additional terri tories woro progressing in the South,. Hu then proceeded to consider the Views and feel- ings of the North relative to the institution ofslave i ry, which the South fell to be necessary to her social ' organization, and which ho said was looked upon . with greater or less hostility by tho whole North—- all tho people of which felt bound, at least, to dis . countenance it—while thoy fell themselves impelled i to defend it. lie reviewed (he courso of-the slavery' agitation by tho North—commencing with tho first buttle up on tho right of petition, and coming down to (lie present day—fur the purpose of showing that en croachments upon this point had been continued) gradual, and always successful—Until imminent dan gcr to tho Union ilsvlf has now arisen. Again he asked—“ What can be done to save the Union?" It Could only bo saved'by adopting such measures as will satisfy'tho Southern States that they cun reinainln tho Union with safety and honor to themselves. It could not be saved by eulogizing (ho Union, nor by appeats.to the memory of Wash ington. Neither was there anything in the life or example of that distinguished man which wou’d dea ler the South from seceding; on tho contrary there Was much to encourage them to secession as a rem edy.for oppression and deprivation of thoir rights. Mr. Cass' plan, or tho plan proposed by tho Adinin trotion, could not bavo tho Union. Tho hitler was nothing but a modification of the W.ilmpt Proviso, and still moro objectionable than that measure. If you, said Mr. Gulhonn, cannot agree to settle those questions on (he principle, of justice and duty —say so, and lot tho States wo represent ngreo to separate—part in peace.. If you, are unwilling we should part in peace, (ell us so, and wo shall know what to do when you reduce tho question;to nubmia sion or resistance. If you remain siionl.jou will compel us to infer whnl you intend. In that cose California wi.II become the test question; if you ad mil tier under all tho didtculUesHhal ojtyosc her ad-, mission, you fcpmpcl us to infer (hat you intend to exclude us from tho whole of tho acquired territo ries, with the, intention of destroying irretrievably the equilibrium between tho two sections. We would be blind not to perceive in (hat case that your real objects are power ond aggrandisement, and infatuated nut to net accordingly, In conclusion, ha repealed.that he had all along endeavored to repel these aggressions of tho nprtli by arreating tho agi lotion, with tho intention of saving the Union, if possible—and if not, to save tho Section', whore his tol'had been-cast. Having dune his duty, let what would tibmo; ho would be free from all responsi bility. * - ' .
