Mtl. BONHAM’S SPEECH. We hope air our readers will peruse the truly speech of Mr. BomiAtf, tobe found on the first and fourth pages of to-day’s Volunteer.—< I The Harrisburg in speaking of this speech, says—“ The question of the repeal of the I odidus.acVof March 3d, 1847, could not be reach*, ed in the house , until a late period of the session, the day before the final adjournment. The elabo rate speech of Mr, Bonham, which we present in our columns to-day, was not, therefore, delivered in the house, as he stated he would not (rouble the house at that late period of the. session with his views.on this important subject ; that although -prepared to discuss the question, he would forbear doing so,.and would publish his remarks for the country. The amendment offered by Mr. Bonham covers j the true ground; but owing to. the impracticable federal Senate and unscrupulous Governor, it was Tery well understood that it could not be carried. The' only thing left to be done was to pass the Senate bill, and Mr. B. accordingly withdrew his amendment, and the bill as it passed the Senate* was passed'in the house, as the best, thing that! could be accomplished under the circumstances. U would seem that the Governor was taken by surprise by the action of the Senate, and had not brought his party machinery to bear upon -the members of that body. To repair this oversight, the wbigs of the house were thoroughly drilled . and Instlructed', and throw every impediment in the way of the passage of,the poor apology for simple justice in the case, which, the Senate had present ed, They moved for adjournment, called the yeas and nays, and resorted to every other trick and de vice which they could Invent, to prevent a direct tolo on the question. The democrats, truo to their principles when the country demands their services, called the previous question and feiccd its passage, on their querulous and reluctant opponents. The speech we commend to public attention.— Nowhdro lias tho true character of our law of 1847 been exhibited with so much ability. On the question of its unoonslilutionaUly, Mr. Bonham is especially clear and conclusive* No one who reads his argument can retain a doubt on this point. And yet, clear as it is, there la reason for serious doubts whether Gov. Johnston will sign the bill which repeals but one of Its worst sec tions. Bold TitErr.— Oh'Thursday night hii,. fifteen , fine porkers were stolen from the pons at tho eaten* ; aivo Distillery of Col. W. M. Henderson, about o nillo from our borougb.

Bigler; and P. F, Smith, W. Worthington, J. Hickman, and Joseph J. Lewis, delegates to Harrisburg, with instructions for Judge Bell. The Contested Election.— ln tho Court of Common Pleaa of Philadelphia, on Saturday, Judge King delivered the opinion of a majority of! the Court, selling aside tho election of Mr.lCNExes,! and declaring Wm. B. Used elected-to the office I of District Attorney. Judge Campbell dissented' from the other two Judges, and gave a very elabo rate opinion in favor of Mr. Unease. Col. J. H, Snowden.— The Pittsburg Morning J*otly says:—lf will be ebon by a card in this day’s paper, that; Col. Jemes Hobs Snowden has taken up his abode In Pittsburg, with the view of resum ing the practice of tho law. Col. Snowdon is al ready known by reputation to the most of our citi zens. Ho represented Venango county in our Slato Legislature for a number of years, and die tinguiahed himself In that body by his able advo cacy of Democratic measures. Ho was afterwards appointed Treasurer of the Mint, at Philadelphia, by President Polk, and bold-that office until about a year, ago, discharging its duties with the most scrupulous fidelity. Ho Is a gentleman of fine talents, and an able and eloquent advocate. Wo welcome him to our city, and hope that his real* donee here will prove both pleasant and profilablc- TIV« Onlllottne at Work I Wo loam from the Philadelphia papers, lira quite anumbot of removals wore made in lire Cus tom Homo last weak—mostly Democrats, and sortie few of lltoao who are calldd Cooper Whigs. ■ Itwao alleged at the llmoof tholale Investigation, that the condition upon which Mr. Lewis was per milled to retain his office, by President Fillmore was that Ire should remove every Democrat in the CuaiotnHbae'o! Wo hardly credited the rumor I Ihon, but tho events of the last week satisfy us| ftilly that there was too rauoh truth in it. Mr. Fillmore Itaa a capital headsman in Tom Corwin, and now that tho work of decapitation has again ooriimonood, wobxpcot every Democrat about the establishment, to lose Iris bead, and, that, too, without benefit of clergy. Tho mandate has gone forth from tho Wlillo Home, and It ,must bo obey od to tho loiter. I THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION-- TURE AGITATION*, We are glad to perceive that our .Views, (as ex- , pressed in these columns a shoit-tjme since*) on ( the subject of ibe agllalion of the Presidential ques- - tion at this time, have.inet the sanction of nearly all , the. Democratic papers of o'urStale. AUsjdmitthat it is premature to agitate the question at this time, and that a discussion in regard to the merits of the several distinguished statesmen spoken of in con nection with,the Presidency, is well calculated to create bad fooiingand disorganization in cur ranks* The democracy of Pennsylvania, should nothing intervene to disturb the harmony of the party, will, on the second Tuesday of October next, achieve a glorious and decided victory., With the gallant Bioleh as the Democratic candidate for Governor, | nothing that the Federalists can say or do, can save them from an ignominious defeat. The mat ter rests with the Democrats themselves-~it is for them to say . whether the glorious banner Of democ racy shall float in triumph, or whether the spotted and dirty flag of Federalism shall again be linfurl >d, with “victory” inscribed upon its ragged folds. Democrats of. Pennsylvania—as yon love and revere the cherished principles of your fore-fathers —we invoke you to discountenance every effort that may be made to gel up a discussion in regard Ito the Presidency. If this discussion is persisted in, ike State ticket next fall will be endangered .. To us this Is evident,'and hence bur anxiety that the discussion should cease. Afterthe October elec tion, the question of the Presidency will claim the attention of the whole people, and the friends of the different aspirants can then discuss the ques tion lb their bean’s content, and without running any risk of endangering the harmony of the parly. .We make these remarks, not at the instance of either of the candidates spoken of for the Presi dential, chair, but froma conviction of duly to the Democratic: party* We feel convinced lliala,tri umphant victory awaits the democracy at the en suing general election, provided union and harmony is cultivated, and a proper regard for tho usages of the parly is observed. No prudent friend of either Mr. Buchanan or Gen. Cass can desire to see the Presidential question discussed at this lime. Wo speak advisedly, when wo say that both General Cass and Mr. Buchanan deprecate the agitation of I the subject at ibis time. They both agree that the movement is premature, and calculated to jeopard ize the success of our State ticket at the coming election. And yet, a few of the friends of these distinguished statesmen will persist in dragging llie question before the people, and some even go so far as to say that the Heading Convention—a Convention which has been called-.for the purpose of nominating candidates for Governor and Canal Commissioner—must give an expression in regard to the Presidency! Nonsense! We hope no sincere-friend of either Mr. Buchanan or .Gen. Cass will attempt any thing of ihe kind. Such a move could be of no serviceto the party, and might do much harm, ■from the character of the del egates to compose the Heading Convention, we think we are safe in saying that they will, after duo reflection, abstain from assuming anydulios which ,do not legitimately belong to them. Let ’that Convention nominate a candidate for Gover nor, a. candidate, for • Canal Commissioner, and adopt resolutions .re-assortihg the national Demo cratic principles, end then adjourn, and they will have.discharged the duties for which they were delegated. /Pursue this course, Messrs. Delegates | to the Reading Convention—rgive no expression in ■ regard to the Presidency—and your nominees will be triumphantly elected oh the second Tuesday of October. : I OUR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The followingßattering prospect of.an increas ed revenue on ourpubUcimprovements,takenfrom tho Harrisburg. Jlmrtcan, is truly gratifying.— What a ,contrast it presents, to that exhibited un der the old system, when the Canal Commission ers received their appointment from the Executive. 1 We believe, with elections by the people, and the 1 strict accountability which such responsibility on 1 the part of llw Canal Commissioners to their con- Istituenls superinduces, the public improvements 'I of the Commonwealth may be made to yield’a large revenue, and materially lessen.the burthens of the debt contracted for their construction. It will be seen that there lean increase for the month of, March alone, over the receipts of last year is $51,825 51. The following Is the comparative statement of receipts at the Stale Treasury, from Canal and Railroad tolls for the months of Decem ber, 1849, and January, February and March, 1850, and the corresponding months of the present fiscal year,.commencing December 1, 1860,as follows: . 1849-’5O. • 1850-’5l December, .$45,102,28 $69,809 53 January, 48,448 25 .43,781 74 February, ■ 30,898-43 36,567 96 March, * 07,163 ,67 148,958 18 S23I, MV 03 $318,107 41. ; - 221,641 03 Increase over lasl'year, $06,626.78 The entire receipts at the treasury from Uua source for tho-whole pflasl year, were $1,713,848 i iG. At the above rate of Increase throughout tho I present year, they will reach $2,000,000.

Washington, and also on tho Cubans who advanced the mbney....Tlio steamer Cleopatra, which, It is said, was purchased by the expeditionists, is a crazy.old boat, that plied on the Long Island Sound a number of years, and was worn out do that service. No person, with a particle of sense or intelligence, would risk his life by going ten miles beyond Sandy Hook in her. Most of tho men who were engaged to lake part, in the expedition are foreigners, who cannot speak English, and know nothing of the .laws I which they have violated. At the present lime, 1 there are, probably, twenty-five or thirty thousand foreigners here, principally Germans, and it would bea very easy matter for competent pirates and marauders to engage four or five thousand of them for any expedition. Many of these characters are refugees from the recent revolutions in Europe, and ate accustomed to arms, and.would be very glad to engage, in any expedition, no matter how wild or absurd.** The Virginia Dolts has submit ted a compromise to tho Virginia Convention to settle the vexed question of representation# He proposes that the House of. Delegates shall consist of ISO. members, 75 from east of'the Blua .-Ridge and 75 west of it; tho Senate to bo similarly divided and elected by districts. Ho also proposes uniform and valorum system of taxation, except where specially exempted by two-thirds .of the Legislature {.and to prevent the creation ofa public debt, without at tho same lime providing for its payment by increase of taxation. Appropriations, exceeding a 1 certain sum, before becoming a law, must receive llio Tote of a majority of all the members of each branch'of .the Legislature. . .., ,• The Late William Beattt.—ln an obituary no. lice of this lam ented gentleman, in the Butler Dem o. oral, a Whig poper, we find the following interesting sentiment: . A few weeks previous to his deatli ho received o blow from ,the limb of a tree, which knocked him senseless for some time. Whether this had-any in. finance in hastening the final catoslropho t the phy sician can best judge.. It is thought, however, that repeated afflictions had much to do in bringing it about. About a year previous, ho had news of tho death of a son in California. Since which, ho had buried two grandchildren; And he half now intclli. gcncC that a much beloved son>in*luw, (Mr. Herron,) had also died in California. Ho remarked that ho could not survive this affliction, and seemed to have a presentiment that he was about to die. Accord, ingly, ho wrote to a son and grandson In California, (hat though in his usual health, that was his last letter and last advice. Many remarks wont to show that his thoughts were turned to his coming dissolu. tlon.

VERY IMPORTANT FHOM CUBA. ‘ ' Preparation* for noTOlutlon»»An Expedition Expected*' | Our latest advices from Cub* are to,tho 23d01t., brought by' the steamer Isabel, which arriVW a* Savannah on the 34th all. Our private corres pondence represents the whole Island, and the city of Havana especially as in a stale of the greatest excitement !h consequence of reports that General Lopez with a strong force, had sailed from tho U. ■ States for the purpose of raising the standard of revolt upon the Island. The Captain General was making the roost vigorous preparations not only to prevent the Expedition from landing, but also to resist any attempt at revolt by the Cubans.— Numerous arrests of persons suspected of being engaged in preparing for a revolt were taking I place, and One Spaniard who liad bribed a number 1 of coast pilots to go totbo ; United States, and assist Lopez in effecting a landing, had been sentenced to be garroted, on tlie information of a pilot.who betrayed his confidence. , . ■ I The Captain General looks Upon tho native pop- lotion witn the greatest suspicion, and it is-well known in Havana that throughout the Island W\b\ people are praying earnestly that the expedition may have sailed, as reported. Our correspondent also sends us copies of addresses and bulletins, printed In Spanish, and circulated over the Island, calling on all Cubans to prepare to strike for their freedom. Tho majority of .the Spaniards, on the other hand will adhere to the Government with; desperate loyally. They are place-holders, and dependant on Spanish rule, and their interests bind them more strongly to tho government than oven their national pride. Tho struggle therefore, can not be an easy one, though should the expedition ists effect a landing, and obtain a fow successes, it Is believed that a large number of the troops on the Island would espouse tho revolutionary cause. As soon, 100, as the nows of the landing and successful stand of the first expedition reaches the United States, It wilt be impossible to prevent Urge reinforcements from going to their.support. These will effect landings on various parts of the Island, and,-with the* aid of the people, they mill , divide tho attention of tho Spanish troops, and I make the contest between the forces less unequal. The danger of iliolr despatches falling Into the hands of tho Spaniards has make the loaders of tho expedition very cautions, and, in consequence, the Cubans were not certain whether or not the expe dition had sailed. The Cuban patriots, it is said,-first intended to raise the standard of revolt In several parts of the 1 Island, without awaiting ilio expedition, but as they are vory poorly supplied with arms, they thought that it would be roost prejudicial to the success of their cause to anticipate the expedition which they expect to bring them a supply of arms and munitions of war.. The soldiers, 100, whom they have gained over to their cause, were unwil ling that any demonstration should be made, until the expedition would; land. There are other mat ters referred to by our correspondent, In connection with tho anticipated revolution, which it would bo Injudicious to publish at present. He dooswot, however* conceal his anxiety as to the result of the crisis that was generally believed to bo at band. Tho present Captain General is an experienced military officer, and believed to bo very energetic. U is expected that bo will take command of tho troops in person, should the revolution break out.

Jackson county v MTchigan, who have for sfeveraPyears beeh orga.nized together for the pur-! pose of burglary, arson, murder; &d.. It appears they.had committed so many outrages on the Cen tral'railroad-company, such-as placing obstruc tions on the track, tearing up the rails, and firing Its property, that il was compelled to employ two men to travel up and down the road. One of these men finally worked,himself into the confidence of the outlaws. The Detroit Tribune, however, says: But before they would trust him to any consid erable extent, it was required, as proof of-his al legiance; that he should fire the depot at Niles bn a'certain night; provided it was not previously done by an individual from-this city, who was to be sent on for that, purpose. ,'Thenighf came, tmd to ward off suspicion or betrayal; as well as to secure the full confidence, of the gang, the de pot was fired, all necessary precautions having been made to avert any. serious damage to the. buildings.' * The news that the depot at Niles had been set bn fire, but fortunately discovered in time to pre vent its .destruction, at once gave to the, new re cruit the fullest confidence of the gang, and he was forthwith admitted to lho most secret councils of the leading desperadoes. . Counterfeiting, horse stealing, incendiarism, burglary, robbery, and the smallest petty larcenies, wore the sworn objects of this most monstrous organization. , One of their designs was to blow up the'track and cars by on ingeniously- contrived torpedo, so arranged, as to be fired-by the' locomotive, and to. explode while the passenger cars should be over it. The informant continued to act with,them until, he had procured the names of thirty or forty, their places of residence, &c M which, were principally in_Le bna, Centro; Jackson and this city. . The Tribune then goes.oh to relate the mode of their arrest, which was accomplished by large bodies-of police and citizens. Among the prisoners,.are three Justices of the Peace,-five Physicians, one Judge, and four Con stables, the latter belonging to .the township of Leona, not an officer of. which, from supervisor down to postmaster, but is said to bo implicated. In the house of one of them were found a variety of implements for burning buildings, and so con structed as to burn one hour or three days before sotting fire to the building By one of these machines it has been discovered that the depot of Detroit was fired last fall, which resulted in the loss of $lOO,OOO worth of property.
