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

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,!

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*

Wo loam from the Philadelphia papers, lira

■ 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

establishment, to lose Iris bead, and, that, too,
without benefit of clergy. Tho mandate has gone

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:

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

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.

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.

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.
