Adjournment of Congress*
The first session of the 3lst Congress termi
nated on Monday at noon. It has been a long
and laborious session, longer in fact than any ;
previous session, having occupied ten entire j
months. Beyond the great work of adjusting ;
the exciting questions growing out of our late !
territorial acquisitions, and the passage of the
Civil and Diplomatic appropriation hill, no tnea- I
sure of commanding importance has been defi
niie4y acted OR. There are, however, various i
important legislative enactments attached to the |
last mentioned bill, which were incorporated I
into it during its last stages, and of the purport |
of many of which we are unadvised. The Land '
Bounty bill—granting land bounties to soldiers '
of former wars is also an important measure, j
one of the most important, in fact of the ses- i
sion, from the amount of the public lands which
it disposes of. Many important measures failed
to receive that action from the hands of Con- j
gress which the people had a right to expect, j
Among them was the great subject of the de- |
pressed condition ef the Manufactures of the
country—that of iron especially—requiring a
modification cf the Tariff; and the River and
Harbor bill, the passage of which was due to
the great intecesta and wants of the West hith
erto not sufficiently regarded and respected by
the General Government. This last bill, the
.National InUlligencer thinks, would have com
manded majorities in both Houses of Congress,
could it have been reached in time to pass upon
it.
FCGITIVE SLAV* LAW.— The Fugitive Slave
Bill is now in operation, and its first effects have '
been to produce considerable alarm among the
colored population of this State. The slaves in
confinement at Harrisburg, whose arrest created
so much disturbance a few weeks ago, have been
delivered up to their owners. The first case in
New York was that of a young negro named
James Hamlet, who was arrested by the Depu
ty Marshal, and taken before theU. S. Commis
sioner. Thomas J. Clark deposed that he knew
him, knew that his name was James Hamlet,
and that he was owned by Mrs. Mary Brown, of
Baltimore, from whose service he escaped in the
fall of 1848. The witness produced a certificate
copy of the will of the late John G. Brown,
who had bequeathed the man to his present
owner. This testimony was corroborated by a J
son of the claimant, and the commissioner
signed the warrant for the delivery of the negro
to his owner. The proceeding was summary,
and the slave was not entitled to the benefit of
the writ of habeas corpus.
RW JOHN W. SHUGERT, well known in
this section as an editor of some notoriety,
is the locofoco candidate for Assembly in
Venango couHty-
The Union Times has a call for a loco
foco meeting in New Berlin, in which the
following portrait is drawn of the demo
cracy :
" The object of the meeting is to proclaim
Pure Democracy, and to make war upon the
Cameron aristocracy who by the power of their
MONEY are endeavoring to brow-beat, bribe
and control our County and State Conventions,
and thereby stifle th'e honest expression of
opinion of the great mass of the people. 1 '
KILLED. —A son of Mr. John Allen,
who resides near the Tuscarora Academy,
Juniata county, was killed on Wednesday
of last week, by falling from an apple tree.
During the heavy thunder showers last
week, the barns of Mr. George Snyder,
in Middlecreek, and Mr. Nogle, in Wash
ington township, Unionconnty, were struck
by lightning, and, with all their contents
of hay, grain, &c., burned to the ground.
A boy of about 14 years of age was
burned to death in the latter.
TALL CANDIDATES. —Judges Johnson
and Wood, and the Rev. Mr. Edwards,
are the whig, locofoco, and tree soil can
didates for Governor of Ohio. The three
met at Cleveland a short time since, and it
was found that they measured nineteen
feet.
" Hymnody," a new word, invented we
believe, to correspond with " psalmody,
may be found in the Transcript of the 4th
ult. We shall probably have " Comic
songody" next.
HP A remorseless, savage, beetle-browed
husband was fined in Philadelphia, a day
or two since, for putting cow-itch in his
wife's stockings, before she went to a danc
ing party. She became quite wild while
dancing, and could scarcely keep from
tearing her stockings off before the com
pany. Her husband wished to break her
of the practice of running to all the danc
ing soirees.
FROM TEXAS. —The ship Portland has
arrived at New Orleans from Galveston,
bringing dates to the 19th inst. By her
we learn that intelligence of the passage
of Mr. Pearce's Texas Boundary Rill had
reached there. It is well received by the
people generally. The papers assert that
popular feeling is in favor ol it, and that
the proposition of the United States Con
gress will in all probability be accepted by
the Texas Legislature. It is daily gaining
strength. Texas thunder seems to be de
clining*
The Treadgar Iron Works at Richmond,
Va. are c onducted entirely by slave labor.
t icioNTOwKj Pa , Oct. 1 -The mail coach go
ing East was robbed last night about 8 o'clock
while artcendir- Laurel Hill. A number of
trunks were taken off and rifled of their con
tent*. A package containing $7OOO, addressed
to Cashier Tucker, of the bank at Cumberland,
was taken ; also several other packages contain
ing together some $4OOO, were likewise stolen.
I he trunk belonging to Mr. Lengseng, of Wheel
ing, was stolen. Several other passengers lost
heavily, but I have not been able to learn to
what extent. The mail was not robbed as was
supposed at first. The trunks have all been
found, but thoroughly rifled of their contents.
•No clue has yet been had to the robbers.
From the New York Tribune.
Do they Mean to Deceive f
Every few days we meet in some oppo
sition journal a paragraph of this nature :
" The Manufactory has just divided
ten per cent, profits for the last six months.
And yet the Whigs say Manufacturers need
more Protection !"
" 2d* There are more Iron Works now in
operation in the country than there ever were
before the present Tariff was adopted, and new
ones are continually going up. Yet the Whigs
say the duties on Iron must be raised or our iron
makers will be ruined !"
Now it is quite possible that some man
ufactories, enjoying rare facilities or the
command of a wide and eager market for
peculiar styles of goods, may be making
good dividends, in spite of general depres
sion and loss. It may even be true that in
certain localities new Iron, Cotton, or
Woollen manufactories are from time to
time established, and that a gradual, tardy
progress in certain branches of Manufac
ture is made in defiance of the unfavorable
state of trade. We firmly believe, so na
tural and beneficent is the location of the
manufacturer and fabricator by the side of
the farmer and planter that, if no Tariff
had ever existed, or all Tariffs were now
to be abolished, the ways and means would
in time he discovered or created of natur
alizing or perfecting in our country all the
arts of civilized life. Just so wc have
faith that, if Steam and Railroads were to
be henceforth utterly abolished, the wants
or tastes they have created or developed
would find some means of gratification—
mankind would not consent to he sent hack
to such means of travel and intercommu
nication as existed a century ago. Hut
that it follows that it would be wise to
abolish steamships and railroads, trusting
to human energy and genius for efficient
substitutes, is not clear to our minds.
In.this year of grace, 1850, we shall
buy of Europe, iron and iron products,
cotton, irnen, woollen and silken fabrics, to
the amount of not less than one hundred
millions of dollars. And all these goods
are forced in upon us, while the free trade
organs and orators are doing their best to
create and diffuse the impression that man
ufactures in this country arc yielding in
the average large profits to those concerned
in them. Now ask those who are busy in
endeavoring to diffuse this impression—
" Gentlemen, what profits are you realizing
from your estates, your ships, your impor
tations, &.C., &i c.," and they will tell you
—the majority of them—" not over five
per cent." " Well, gentlemen, then why
don't you embark in making these fabrics
at home, instead of importing or buying
those of Europe ? Here is an immense
demand, in a country rapidly increasing in
population and capacity of consumption,
while nobody apprehends that the tariff is
to be changed for the worse, as respects
our home interests—now if American man
ufactures are so profitable as you assert,
why don't you embark in them ? The
laws, &.c., are as favorable to you as to any
body ; you can buy two-third? of the man
ufacturing establishments in the country for
a good deal less than cost, or you can get
up new ones with improved machinery for
much less money than these have cost their
owners. The country is full of ore, coal,
water power, <tc., which you can have
dirt cheap, if you want them, aside from
the fact that many of you own these al
ready. Now if manufacturing is so thrifty
as you assert —if the instances of failure
may r all be accounted for by bad manage
ment, high salaries, &c., why don't you
embark in home manufactures and prose
cute them with due wisdom and economy?"
Yes, why don't they ?
Those who profess to be free traders
own their full share of the wealth of the
country ; they have an equal proportion
of the ready capital and the business tal
ent. If there were money to be made by
manufacturing as easily as they pretend,
they are the very lads that would lie into
it, heels over head. And yet on this 3d
day of September, 1850, they don't own
one-tenth —no, nor one-twentieth—of the
capital invested in manufactures through
out the country !
Why don't they ?
Simply because they know that the im
pression they are seeking to make on the
country, as to the present condition and
thrift of American manufactures is a false
i impression, countenanced by one case in a
hundred, but disproved by ninety-nine.
If this is not the reason, what is {
