FOR THE AMENDMENT.
George M. Kline, Esq., from the Committee on
Resolutions, made the following report:
The Democrats of ; Lancaster county proudly
but respectfully present theirfellow-citTzen REAH
FRAZER to the Democracy of Pennsylvania as a
candidate for nomination by the party to the office
of Governor of the - 1
■ 1
Twenty-five years intimate knowledge enables
them to pronounce him an honest man; a citizeik 1
capable of discharging the high' duties oi Hfhe sta? j
tion; a sound and unfaltering Democrat; a patriot:;
whose State loyb and well andi
whbse .views Comprehend tWfV whole :
Union, jWiiile they&o falljttstice^Penn*y|vapia«;
That Bear Frazxb is an.hoaestxnan needs not
assertion./in a commmHtyihwhiicfa, for arquarterr
of a centwy, he has'been, witbontbleniish-oreven
suspicion; largely engaged m tfie practice of a pro 1,
fession more than any otherJiabie •to temptation,
and equally subject to exposure in-case ofBbe rra "
tion from the path of rectitude.
h& is capable of fillmg.Ahe.higb
which we name him, is proved by ab# l / ®, e r l ’
ciency displayed in all the stations t 0 w “icn e
has heretofore been called. Though an overwhelm
ing majority against our princip! o * has long ex
cluded any Lancaster County Democrat from the
Legislatures of the State and the Notion, yet in
the councils of the party, few ltaye. equalled our
seal, courage, partly and ab.hty.—
Scarcely a County, State or Nattonal Convention
of the Democracy ia» passed, without evidence, on
his part, of the possession of these qualities. He
who has thus met all the requirements of the dif
ficult past may safely"be pronounced capable of
coping with the demands of the future.
That he is a sound and unfaltering Democrat,
even our enemies admit. In the hour of victory
/no man ever'more sincerely rejoiced over the tri
umphs of Democracy than Rsah Frazer, at the
licame time that negias always been the advocate
nf such.use of power as tends both to promote the
Szood of the majority^*}-protect the just rights of
[pad minority. Batnrthe day of defeat and gloom
Ijit'ls, that bis unbending principles and indomitable
‘taujjffton have been most remarkable. No man
te State ever met misforUme with a bolder
{front, or labored moro efficiently or unselfishly to
stem the tide of political misfortune. It is this
trait in his character, more than any other, that has
given him such a firm hold upon the affections of
those who know him best.
That he is a pure-hearted and broad-minded pa
triot and statesman is written not merely in the re
cords of our party history,but in the hearts of the De
mocracy. In the Baltimore Convention of 1840 his
advocacy of the re-nomihation of M. Vajt Buben,
then the representative of principles which are now
the very foundation stones of our national prosperity,
though the man himself is a traitor to the faith of
Jackson arid Democracy, placed him as favorably
before the nation as he before stood in the estima
tion of the State. In 1844 fris advocacy of the
two-thirds rule which has since remained the set
tled law of the party, and his known and success
ful agency in procuring the nomination of the
great but lamented Polk, still higher raised him
into prominence and favor. And, recently, his
great, well-timed and eloquent speech in the Wil
liamsport Convention, which-, though uttered by
1 him, was and is the sentiment of the State, at once
i vindicated Pennsylvania throughout the Union,
strengthened the hands of the friends of justice and
the Constitution in the National Councils, and
gave its author a position and a reputation which
"it has been the lot of few to attain. *
For these reasons—urged, not as claims, but
as guarantees of fitness and ability—the Demo
j cracy of the county of Lancaster declare REAH
j FRAZER to be their first choice for the of
: fice of Governor, with the assurance that, at the
| proper time, they will send delegates into the nom
inating convention instructed to vote for him from'
{ first to last ballot.
Resolved , That we congratulate the country upon
the passage of the various measures constituting
the Compromise Bill—measures efficacious in re
storing peace and harmony to a distracted country,
and stemming the tide of a reckless fanaticism,
whose only object seemed the agitation of ques
tions in themselves of no practical utility, but in
their consequences likely to sever this noble con
federacy of States. And we hero, speaking for the
Democracy of Lancaster county, tender our unre
strained thanks to those noble champions of right
and justice, Sturgeon, Caps, Dickinson, Hous
ton, Rusk, Douglass, Foote, McLanahan,
Ross and others, who,in a fearful crisis, forgetting
everything but patriotism to their country, boldly
and unyieldingly met the traitorous efforts of Nor
thern fanatics and Southern madmen, and never
j faltered in their glorious work until the Republic
! j emerged from the dark and portentous shadows
cast around her.
Resolved, That the nominees of the Williamsport
Convention will receive our warm and hearty sup
port at the approaching election. Their known
and sterling worth is the sure guaranty of their
triumphant election. ' .
Resolved, In accordance with the democra
tic doctrine that all sovereignty is in the people, we
are in favor of an elective judiciary, and we
hereby instruct our County Committee to print
tickets in favor of the amendment to the Constitu
tion furthering that object.
The'resolutions were then adopted.
[ At this stage of the proceedings the follow
I ing Protest was read, but the majority of the Con
| vention refused to enter the same upon the min-
The undersigned Delegates to the Democratic
County Convention, now sitting in the City of
Lancaster, enter their solemn protest against the
action taken by a portion of the Convention on the
resolution offered by Peter Martin, Esq., relative to
an expression of opinion of the Democracy of Lan
caster County in favor of any candidate for the
office of Governor.
Ist. The County Committee, under whose call
the Delegates composing this Convention were
elected, after due consideration, deferred to a later
period the holding of a Convention to appoint Del
egates to the next State Convention.
2d. The elections held under this call were con
ducted with reference solely to the object set forth
in the call itself; and the Democracy of the Coun
ty did not in, or by their votes, at the said election,
express their opinion in reference to the Guberna
torial candidate of the partyJor 1851.
3d. The undersigned do not claim the right to
think, speak, or act for the Democracy of the Co.,
on a question not submitted to the party at the pri
mary elections, and which was postponed to a later
period.

Yocal Music.
We direct attention to the card of Mr. WniT.
comb, in another column. Mr. W. visits our City
with the highest testimonials as a Teacher of Vo
cal Music, having been for the last eight years en
gaged in the profession. His terms are moderatei
and the opportunity now afforded our citizens of
acquiring a knowledge of that delightful science
should not be neglected. The price of tuition will
be money well spent.
Are You Assessed!
Those of our Democratic friends who are not as
sessed, should o attend to it on or before Friday
next, the 27th inst. After that day it will be too
late. Sex to it, Democrats! If your are
not upon the Lists, call upon the Assessors without
delay and have the matter attended to.
The Assessor for this City, Michael Bundel,
Esq., has his residence in Franklin Row, North
Queen street.
The proceedings of/this body are published at
length in this paper, and will doubtless attract
more than ordinary attention. The ticket nomina
ted is a most excellent one, and should, no
doubt will, commanffAe enthusiastic fupport’of
.every Democrat in the Coqjjdy. Froai; Congress
xnari down to the lowest office on the. -ticket, ;we
think no better men could have been plftced in nom
uxatuML The candidates ex?’all admirably qualifi
ed to fill the offices for which they have been se
lected—and we trust that every Democrat in t#vn
and country will feel it to be his bounden duty to
do-all that lies in-his power, hra fair and honora
ble way, to give it a strong vote at the election.
In forming the ticket, therefore, we think the
Convention was peculiarly fortunate. Whether all
its acts are, or are not in Accordance, with ; the
wishes of the people, it is not for us to say. It
cannot be that some of the pro"
eeedings have produced dissatisfaction in the minds
of very many Democrats. The County Committee,
in their call of a Convention, carefully excluded
every topic that might lead to excitement at thi3
time, and narrowed down the action of that body
to the simple question of settling or not settling a
County Ticket. Under this call the Delegate Elec
tions were held—and in several of the Townships,
Misalleged, there were but few persons present,
the mass of the party not deeming that the Con.
vention was expected to take any action whatever
on the Gubernatorial question. This matter is fully
stated in the Protest of the minority which was
read before the Convention. On the other hand, it
is contended that the issue was made on the Guberna
torial question, and that the action of the majority
of the delegates was a fair expression of the wishes
of the people in their several districts. How this
is, time will determine. c The people will, no doubt,
decide the mooted question for themselves.
Oy The Union &*Tribune is informed that the
Democrats have “scared 15 up-a candidate to run
against Tbaddeus Stevens. Dr. F. A. Muhlenberg,
an old and highly esteemed citizen, who has resid
ed amongst the people of Lancaster county all his
days—who knows their wants, and who, if elected,
will.honestly and faithfully carry their wishes into
effect—is the Democratic candidate lor Congress
in this district. It will now be for the people of
Lancaster county to choose between these two men.
Incendiarism.
On Wednesday evening last, about & o'clock, the
stable attached to the property of Mr. J. Metzgar,
in East Orange street, was discovered to be on fire.
The different Hose and Engine Companies of the
City were promptly on the spot, but all their
efforts to save the building and its contents were
unavailing. The fire was communicated to the
hay on the loft, and everything was in a blaze be
fore water could be applied. The adjoining stables J
were all saved—owing in part to the stillness of ]
the evening. Had there been a high wind at the j
time,, it would have been next to impossible for
our Firemen to arrest its progress without a much
greater destruction of property. The. loss of Mr.
Metzgar is considerable—as there' was no insurance
on the property. It was doubtless the work of an
incendiary.
Another fire occurred on Thursday evening, at
about the same hour, in the Plane Manufactory of
Mr. E. W. Cabpenteb, in W. German street. In
addition to the destruction of the building, nearly
all the contents were destroyed before the fire was
arrested. There was no insurance, and Mr. C.'s
loss is estimated at from $BOO to $lOOO. The fire
originated through the carelessness of an appren
tice boy.
Germau Reformed Church.
The ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the
new German Reformed Church, in this city, took
place on the 10th inst. The Clergy officiating on
the occasion were, Rev. D. Zacharias, D. D. of
Frederick City, Md.; Rev. Alfred NevSn, of Cham-
Rev. H. Harbaugh, Pastor of the old
Reformed Church, of this City, and Rev. N. A-
Keyes, Pastor of the new one.
The corner stone was presented to the Church
by Mr. Lewis Haldy, Marble Mason, of E. Chesnut
street,- and the usual books, papers, &c. were de
posited in it.
A very handsome collection was taken up, dur
ing the progress of the exercises, in aid of the
Church.
The New York. Democracy.
The Syracuse Convention—culled together by
both wings of the Democratic party in the State
of New York—had their meeting week before last.
The kindest and most conciliatory feelings prevail
ed,.and a thorough and complete union and organ
ization was effected. The Resolutions are admira
ble. While the expressions in favor of the Union of
the States, the admission of California and the pas*
sage of the Territorial bills, are ardent and strong,
not a word is uttered offensive to either section of
the party. The State ticket formed is a compro
mise one—composed of an equal number from both
wings—and every thing was done to promote the
harmony and success of the party. This is a grati
fying result, and must secure a signal triumph to
the Democracy of the Empire State.
The following are the nominees on the State
Ticket:
Governor—Horatio Seymour, of Oneida county.
Lieut. Governor —Sanford E. Church, of Orleans
county.
Canal Commissioner—John C. Mather, of Rens-
salaer county.
Clerk of Appeals—Chas. S. Bronton. of Herki-
mer county.
Prison Inspector—W. P. Angell. of Chataugue
The “Mansion - House Hotel/’ in Carlisle,
now kept by our friend Maj. John S. Wood, is one
of the best establishments of the kind any where
along the road between Philadelphia and Cham
bersburg. Maj. W. is a prince of a landlord, and
has every thing about him in the best style. Pas
sengers in the Cars, (it being their stopping place,)
may be certain that his bar and table are always
supplied with the best the City and home markets
can afford, and nothing is omitted which is calcu
lated to minister to the appetites, comfort and con
venience of those who give the house a call.
jD’The officers and workmen employed upon the
State Works, at Parkesburg, made a very handsome
present of a Silver Pitcher and Goblets to Col. W.
English, late the efficient Superintendent of the
Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad, upon his re
tirement from office. The presentation waß made
at Parkesburg, by Gen. Roumfort, successor tq
Col. E., on behalf of the donors, in a neat and ap
propriate speech, which was responded to by the
latter in a highly eloquent manner. The present,
as well as the manner of making it, must have
been gratifying in the extreme to Col. English.

State, Mr. Webster.
Vert Liberal. —The Senate, by a vote of 35 to
19, have voted $lO,OOO to defray the expenses of
Amin Bet, the Turkish agent now at the seat of

here by the Sultan to look at our institutions and
report upon what he has seen when he returns!—

the Democratic Senator from this State, voted
against the appropriation.

This gentleman’s coarse, since be has been a
member of Congress, is well known to his consti
tuents of Lancaster coonty~-and it will be for them
to say, by bestowing their upon, or with*
'hoT3ing them from him, whether he hjaripreaented
or mu-represented their sentiments ut- relation Jo
the important questions that have been decided in
the body of which they constituted hint a member.
We do not believe-that hejhas fairly represented
any considerable portion ot the people—on the
contrary, our impressions are strong, from what
we have heard and what we know, that more than
one half of-all the Whigs of Lancaster county,' to
say nothing of the Democrats, are utterly and un
equivocally opposed to his course, and il many of
them had the opportunity would show their disap
probation through the ballot boxes. The nomina
tion of Dr. F. A. Muhlzxbxbo, by the Democrats,
affords that opportunity.
It cannot be that the citizens of this great coun
try, who have prospered beyond example under the
protection afforded them by the glorious stars and
stripes of pur beloved Union, can look witb com
placency upon the conduct of a man, who has been
entrusted to some extent with their prosperity and
good fame; and consent to be placed by him in a
position of hostility to the Union. It cannot be
that the Whigs of the “Old Guard’ 5 will tamely
submit to the indignity of being transferred neck
and heels to the Abolitionists, and have their county
branded as the banner Abolition county of the
Union. And yet such will be the result, if they
sanction by their votes jhe course of Mr. Stevens.
They cannot escape from the odium which will
attach .to them, should they again return this
man to Congress, and they will be marked through
out the country as particeps criminis in this unholy
crusade against the peace and safety of the country.
We have nothing against Mr. Sibvens as a cit
izen and a neighbor, nor do we object to his course
because he was elected as a Whig representative
from a strong Whig district; but we do enter our
protest against Thaddeus Stevf.xs, or any other
man, going indirect opposition to the best interests
of the country, and seeking to perpetuate the ill
feeling and strife engendered by the abusive attacks
made upon our Southern brethren on account of
the system ot Slavery which exists among them
and for the establishment of which they are not
responsible. In this matter Democrats are as deeply
interested as Whigs—all are alike anxious that
they should be represented honestly and faithfully .
in a matter so momentous to the interests of the
whole Union—all are-equally interested in preserv
ing the good name and fame of this ancient county.
In pursuing the course he has done, Mr. Stevens
has placed'himself in an antagonistical position to
the ' Administration at Washington, which the
Whigs of Lancaster county helped to place in
! power—the consequence is, that he has lost caste
1 with the “ powers that be, 55 and is looked upon as
| a man who cannot be trusted, an enemy in disguise*
I In two rveeks from today it will be for the
j people to pronounce their verdict at the polls, and
| it will then be seen how many of the good citizens
! of Lancaster 1 county are willing to endorse the
| conduct of their so-called representative in the
j councils ot the Nation. We shall await the result
I with patience.
Stevens at Ills old Tricks!
The member from this district is not satisfied | ,
with having violently opposed the several bills for
adjusting the Territorial questions, &c., before Con
gress. It appears from the following extract which
we copy from the Washington correspondence of
the Pennsylvanian, of Thursday, that Mr. Stevens
is still seeking to re-kindle the flames of discord,
apd gain a notoriety somewhat similar to that of
the youth who fired the Ephesian temple.
“An attempt will no doubt be made to agitate
the question of slavery by certain of the Northern
extremists, but it will be a sad and suggestive fail
ure. You might as well try to burn down a house
without fire, as to attempt to excite any sensation
by invoking the ashes of defunct Free Soilism.—
The man who tries to arouse a furor by appealing
to the ghost of Morgan, would not be more laughed
at and despised than he who sought to set on foot
a public feeling against the measures of peace now
happily, or shortly to be, laws of the land. Tfiad-
DEns Stevens is one of the competitors for the im
mortality of infamy that is sure to be tbe lot of him
who is, eager for this bad eminence. It is surpris
ing how this man embraces every opportunity to
degrade himself, A chance to make himself'still
more odious he seizes as if it were a gift from the
I gods. He would not only rather reign in hell than
serve in heaven, but he would rather win shame
and contempt than the benisons of the wise and ;he
good. All efforts to remove slavery from politics,
are viewed by him as so many efforts to deprive
him of occasions to assail his country, and to give
encouragement to the enemies of his country. His
new movement to repeal the recent measures of
compromise, made yesterday in the House, was re
ceived with a quiet but overwhelming contempt.—
The House looked upon it as the expedient of a
shameless demagogue; and even those who have
acted with him, sat by with indignation wTitten
upon their faces. Pennsylvania has been dishon
ored by this man repeatedly, but the last scheme
of his is a refinement of treachery, in the highest
degree revolting- 1 to the almost unanimous senti
ment of the State. •’
[D~The Steamer Philadelphia arrived at New
York, from Chagres, on Thursday evening, bringing
$BOO,OOO in gold dust on freight, and about $3OO,
000 in the hands of passengers. She brings advices
from San Francisco to the 15th of August. The I
house of Barton Lee, at Sacramento City, had failed I
for $1,100,000! A serious riot, attended with loss
of life,’took place at Sacramento City, growing out
of the land troubles. Sixty of the squatters pro
ceeded to the prison ship, to release their comrades
who were confined there for miseonduct, when they
were confronted apd opposed by the Mayor and
other citizens. An affray commenced, in which
Mayor Bigelow', Assessor, and many oth
ers, on both sides, were killed and wounded. Two
steamers were despstched to San Francisco for as
! sistance, and the Lieut. Governor had proclaimed
! martial law. The; rioters had threatened to burn
the City.
oT*The bill lor the abolition of the Slave Trade
tn the District of Columbia, which had previously
passed the Senate by a vote of 33 to 19, passed
the House of Representatives, on Tuesday last, by
124 to 47 ! This completes the whole list of
measures, proposed at the commencement of the
session for the adjustment of the difficulties growing
out of the Slave question, and may we not hope
that a long career of prospeiity and harmony is
now’ opened up tor our beloved country. Every
good citizen will rejoice at the settlement ol the
vexed questions which for a time endangered the
Union, and caused great alarm in the public mind*
The Difficulty Settled.
We are pleased at being able to announce to our
readers, that the difficulty in the Cumberland Sena
torial district has been settled in accordance with
the plan agreed upon by the two candidates. The
two County Conventions re-assembled on yesterday

by the following vote:

Mr. Anderson has, in accordance with the
agreement, withdrawn from the field, and the De

Vneqdanea BfronteiT*
It is a rare thing that : acything quite equal to
tbe following even in Whig papers.
We copy from Lancaster Examiner , of Wed
,
The passage-Jgr tfrtrHotise of the various feeas*
ores embraced intheorigihil compromise bill, ht£
diffused joy and satiSactipn throughout all portions-.
,pf which the glorious tidings have ypt;
; reache£ of wearisome,
'andtffelusive speech-maktSg, two days have been
devoted to action* and the result has been the pas
sage of the Texas.. Boundary Bill—the passage of
the New Mexico and Utah Territorial Bills—the
admission of California into our great confederacy
of sovereign States! ,
Upon the strict justice or expediency of some of
these measures, differences of opinion may prevail
among, certain parties, both in the North and in
the South —but the honest and patriotic portion of the
nation will rejoke at the settlement of a question which
has for so long l a time distracted the councils of the
country and which at' one period threatened our nation
al '■existence. North and South, we are convinced,
the great body of the people will ratify and confirm
the action of the House of Representatives * and
Whigs and Democrats, forgetting for a moment
their party differences, will unite to celebrate the
great event The great work which has been ac
complished involves no sectional or party triumph.
While, on the one side, the interests of freedom have
not been sacrificed; neither on the other, have the
rights of our Southern brethren been invaded.—
Upon the broad ground of the Constitution, North
ern and Southern, Whig and Democratic represen
tatives have united, and by one bold and patriotic
effort restored peace to the country and harmony
to her Councils. Patriotism has at length tri
umphed in Congress over sectionalism —reason and
truth over folly t and fanaticism. —Throughout the
wide extent of our country may the same holy in
fiuences prevail! May the odious word ‘Disunion’
no more be heard l
In the very next column to that in which this arti
cle appears, we find the name of Thaddep* Stevens
published as the regular Whig candidate for Congress
in Lancaster Co., where the Examiner is the organ
par excellence of the Whig party. Mr. Stevens
is the very embodiment of fanaticism and violence.
He glories in assailing our institutions. He bitterly
opposed the measures here rejoiced over. Deliber
ately and coolly he insulted the South, and deliber
ately and coolly he outraged the North, by declar
ing this government to be “an unmitigated despot*
ism.’’ He was against each and every measure of
peace; against them all malignantly and boldly.—
And as if to seal his hostility to what the Examiner
applauds, last Tuesday, before he left his seat in
Congress, to go home to electioneer, he gave notice
of a project to repeal the measures which the public
heart is even now rejoicing over in all sections of the
Union!
The people of Lancaster county, who are called
upon to vote for Thaddeus Stevens for Congress,
have only to read the article of the Whig paper
quoted above, to appreciate the foul work they
are expected to do. They are expected to sustain,
in him, (we use the words of the Examiner,) “fol
lx and fanaticism for he is at the very head of
the factions properly designated by his own organ,
as the factions of “follt and fanaticism.’ 1 The
Examiner rejoices over a result which its own rep
resentative did most to prevent. It declares that
the question here settled, “at one ‘period threatened
our national-existence,” while its own candidate for
Congress, notoriously did more to try to defeat this
settlement, <and so still more to “ threaten the na
tional existence,” than any other fanatic in the
Union. Thus Lancaster county Whigs are to re
joice over the adjustment of all these fearful diffi
culties : to rejoice over the disposal of questions
which threatened our “ national existence ;
joice that “ reason and truth” in this settlement,
have triumphed over “ folly and fanaticism and
yet, they are also calledupon to reward, by return
ing to Congress, the very man who, above all oth
ors, and beyond all question, labored to defeat the
adjustment; to destroy the Union; and to carry
out in triumph the c&use of “folly and fanaticism!”
Such is a brief and plain picture of the predicament
of the Whigs who attempt to rejoice over a result
that carries joy everywhere, and at the same time
advocate the election to Congress one of the worst
adversaries of Compromise and the Union! —
Pennsylvanian of Friday.'
Nark Them!
The following are the Whigs in Congress from
Pennsylvania, who voted against settling the slave
question. We give their names in full. Let the*
people remember and reward them:
HENRY D. MOORE, THADDEU3 STEVENS,
JESSITC. DICKEY, SAMUEL CALVIN, AND.
J. OGLE, ROB'T R. REED, and JNO. W. HOWE.
On the other hand, every Democratic member
from the State voted AYE, on the subject of set
tling these questions. Even Wilmot deserted his
post, in the crisis, left his proviso to shift for itself,
and went home to electioneer for a re-nomination ;
having been beaten in which, he came out against
his successful competitor l We hope the people of
Pennsylvania, in the districts represented by the
Whigs whose names we giv£ above—especially
where they are up for re election—will hold them
to a strict accountability for deserting the Union
in the day and the hour of its utmost need.— Penn •

Hohridli Murders. —The following are the
particulars of the horrible human butchery which
occurred on the Washington road, near Pittsburg,
on the night of the 17th instant. A man by the
name of McKay, or McCoy, took lodgings at Reitz
hoover’s Hotel, four miles out of town ; he was
placed in the same room with Wm. Beltzhoover to
sleep. From some unknown cause, he got up and
stabbed William, who, by his cries for help, alarmed
the house. Melchoir Beltzhoover hastened to the
assistance ot his. brother, when he encountered
McKay, who stabbed him to the heart, and he died
instantly. The barkeeper wa« also stabbed in the
face, but not dangerously. William Beltzhoover
died from the - effects of his wounds to day, at noon.
The murderer has been arrested and committed to
jail, but he is so badly beaten that the prison phy
sicians say he cannot recover. Had not the police
from the city arrived on the ground as soon as they
did, the murderer would have been lynched by the
enraged people. No cause is assigned for the
murder.
Incendiaries About. —On the morning of Wed
nesday last, as Mr. Dysart, confectioner, was pre
paring to make a fire with the view of commencing
his day's baking, in taking some shavings from a
large box that had been placed in an outhouse, a
blaze suddenly burst forth, much to his astonish
ment, which, with some little difficulty, was soon
extinguished. The combustible material used for
the purpose, must have been: put in the box alluded
to at a very early hour in the morning; fortunately
ignition did not take place as soon as was antici
pated by the incendiary, so that no harm occurred
to the premises. We should be glad to hear of
some of these desperadoes being caught, that they
might meet with a just reward lor their temerity.
— Express.
Northern Slave Dealers. —ln the debate on
the Fugitive Slave Bill, in the Senate, Mr. Pratt
divulged a statement of Mr. Berrien’s, to the effect
that the latter had collected upwards of $300,000
for a citizen of Rhode Island, upon obligations
given by citizens of Georgia for negroes imported
into the latter State. Mr. Berrien said that the
statement was correct, though he did not intend to
make it public at this time. This is a most aston
ishing fact and deserves the attention of Congress.
Who is this wholesale dealer in human flesh in
Rhode Island 1 The suppression of such a traffic
on our own shores, would amount to infinitely more
than onr squadron on the African coast has ever
accomplished or is likely to accomplish. Let the
northern abolitionists look to this before beginning
operations in the South.— Tunes.
