Tne solution of the difficulty—the sole cause of the - ormous prices, is sperulation i f In Europe and A mlica, speculators have sought to starve one-ball the people so that they might rerilize their nntidreds of thousands filched tram the pockets of :be masses. We have no doubt that many of these specula tors have bad their fingers badly barbed in the op• eration, and we do not regret it ; for' of all others, this class of men, who speculate in ithe very staff of file itself, deserve the least sympathy when re• verses of fortune overtake them. Even tne syste• matic note shaver, despicable as he 4,„,and the pro. sessional gambler, are less to be dreaded in the community than the flour and grain!speculator, whose trade it is to get up a panic Whenever he can, and place these necessary articles'beyond the reach of many of his poor neighbors:, Speaking 01 the war, in connexion with the above subject, the Baltimore Times say?: The policy of Russia is not to engage in hostili tide with the Western powers at all, more especial ly by invasion of their territory—The:Czar will turn his invading force upon Turkey, and employ his reserve in protecting hie own empire. Ills great aim is to guard his western line troth attack, and to that end Austria, under his direction will re main neutral. The neutrality of Aa-tria is now made the basis Mr that of Prussia.! Prussia and Austria neutral, and Russia has aii iMpassable hal. a ark against in. 1..11 uy the Western powers. A course, by. seder Austria ur Prussia iu favor ut Russia, wouid in reality weaken the Czar, as, in that event, he would be exposed to invasion over 'their territory, and would have to aid them in re sisting the land forces of the Allies.; But Austria and Prussia neutral, Russia, saves her frontier, her forces, and her means, apd has nothing to do but hold possession of the occupied provinces, and throw her whole power upon Turkey. The war consequently becomes a land war in, the East.-- Having very little commerce, Russia Wiliitot leelthe naval powerol England, while the general interrup tion of the Colonial and Eastern trhde of Great Britain will wutk decidedly to her detriment. Under such a elate of affairs, we cannot see the cause for the extremely high price which Ameri can breadstuffs have reached. It is evident, also, that the speculative basis upon which those prices rested, is giving way under the necessity for actu al capital to sustain them. immense quantities of produce are held in Europe and America in spec ulative hands, and the necessity of Maiming will force holders on the market. This may be follow ed by a reaction and prices would M such case decline. The whole tenor of our Foieign advices evidences this, for it will be recollected that bread stuffs declined and cotton advanced simultaneous ly wq the last advices proclaiming the termina tion of negotiations and certainty ill war. We have always regarded the Eastern question as merely one of time. Russia is bent on war. She will take care to confine it to the East, and place Prus sia and Austria in a neutral position to protect her western lice. The war thus limited to the East, I and not being maratime, its consequences, will not in our opinion, justilythe high prices; anticipated by speculation. Tice Soldiers of ISI2. For some time past intimations I have been thrown out that a formidable opposition was likely to be encountered in Congrees, to the extending the Bounty Land Acts to all who were engaged in the military or naval service of the U States, du ring the War of 1812, or any of the Ihdian Wars since 1790, which we regret to say has already been realized. On Monday of last w . e ek, in the House, Mr. Warren from the Committee on Pub lic Lands, to whom that bill was reterrsid, reported it with a negative recommendation. Tnis report, says the Philadelphia Argus, was accompanied by a letter from the Hon.' Secretary' of the Interior, giving reasons why such a proposi tion should not become a law, which the Commit tee on Public Lands had adopted in lieu Of an exten• ded report. On the reception of the report, Mr. Flor ence moved that the bill be committed to the Com mittee of the whole on the State of the Union, and together with the letter be printed. He said he made the motion because he wished to have an op, portunity of understanding the statem e nts of the Secretary. If, on investigation, the declarat.on of that officer could not be sustained, Ilje 'wished to debate the subject so that a proper and correct con. elusion could be reached. He had introduced the bill to provide for giving bounty land io the 'Sol. .Lers and sailors engaged in . the war of :1812, and other wars in which the country has been engaged, 111 obedience to the universal belief in Pennsylvania and otntr States, that it was meting oett justice to those who, in a perilous time in our conntry's his tory, gave their service at quite as great sacrifice as those who - hed rececived in a greater:degree the bounty of the government. The letter :ol the Sec. retary of the Interior, 'he said, in all candor, star. tied him, becauSe it staled that the bill, if passed would requite 83.000,000 acres of land , at a cost to the Western States of $120,000.000, to comply with its provisions, and that the entire clerical force of the land office would be required fora period of ten consecutive years to make out the warrants provided in the bill, and locate the lands, besides giving rise to litigation and other eviis :which that functionary fears. This did really surprise him, for the Secietary further states that more 300,000 persons will he entitled to the contemplated privi leges. In order, therefore, to have a fair opportu nity of debating the whole subject, he ; moved the ieierence of the hill, so as to do just to the eery numerous pvtitunneis who had memorialized Con ess on the subject He earnestly appealed to the House not to turn away from its dooiS men who bad rendered their , country essential good service, without at least a fair hearing. Pending the mo• tion, the House went into Committes,oh the Home stead bill.

This is a subject that has long lieen agitated by the whole press of the State, and which isdanand etlby thiunanungus wish of the people. It is "st mnikery to make laws aid attach to their viola tion penalties without . making them known" to the .Under the present system it is impossible for more than one in ten thointand to become ae qcWintedwith the numberlessstatutes that are pas. sed from year to year, and that one, may be in formed what the law is, for the first time by being charged with its violation, when he had no possi ble means of knowing it; when he is made to pay more in a single instance than it would require to publish the laws for the whole county.. A bill is now before the Le . &stature to remedy this evil, containing the following provisions: AN ACT Providing for the early Publication of the La'n . n. SEC. 1. That immediately atter the passage Of each and every-law of a general character. enact ed by the present and each subsequent Legislature, it shalt be the duty of the Secretary of Stale to cause the same to be published in two English and one German newspa per, in the county of Dauphin. if there be so many therein printed, to be paid fit at the rate hereinafter provided, out of the Treasu ry of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and for. ward a copy of one of said newspapers, containing such law or laws, to toe commissioners of the sev eral counties. Sac. 2. That the commissioners, of every county of Ibis : , tate, except the comity of Druphin, are hereby required tortbwitn, after the reception of a copy of said laws, to proceed to contract far their 'publication in two newspapers it so many are pub iished in the cowry, at a cost not exceeding eighty cents per thousand ems to each paper, and be paid for out of the State Treasury: Provided, That such laws are published correct 4; and where there is a German newspaper printed in any county, said .aws shall also be published in such German pa- per in addition to the number heretofore proviJed: and any county that is entitled to four members of the House of Representatives, shall be en titled to have said laws published in two addi- tional English newspapers to the number herein— before provided; and any county or city over which said county commissioners shall have jurisdiction, that is entitled to more than four members in the Hohse of Representatives, shall be entitled to have said laws published in one German newspaper, and in a number of English newspapers equaling hall the number of members to which said county and city shall be entitled, it there be so many therein printed.. Sec. 3. That the commissioners of any county may, in their discretion, direct the publication, in like manner, such of the local acts as may effect the people of their said county. Sec. 4. That the commissioners shall read and compare the proot of the laws in newspapers, be fore their publication, and see that they are printed correctly. and accompany them with a certificate to that effect. Sec. 5 That all laws or parts of laws, in-any manner conflicting with the provisions of this act, are hereby repealed. Sec. 6. That all laws providing for the publica tion of the laws of the Commonwealth of Penfisyl vania, in pamphlet or any other form, are hereby repealed. TETE GADSDEIr MEXICAN TREATY.—The Wash ington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, says this treaty had not been reported to the Sen ate at the last meeting of that body in Executive session, and that the delay is not unfavorable to a decision in favor of the ratification of the Treaty without amendments. The President, it has been said, is not very strenuously in favor ofany of the amendments, except perhaps the third article. This amendment can make very little ilifference to the Democrats under the Garay grant. It would be no more than justice to them, however, and while it would be consistent with the future course of the Government on the subject of the Garay claim, to designate it, as one that in the opinion of this government was a good claim as against Mexico, whether she aamitted it or not. But it is suggested that the President has insisted upon striking out the clause designating the Garay claim, for the reason that he wishes to enforce a policy whereby the United States Government will be, hereafter, kept aloof from all connection with or supporr of private interests in any form. Further, it is inti mated that the President's policy is adverse to any treaty stipulations binding this Government, In connection with any foreign powers, to protect or guaranty any foreign territory, and that he wishes a good excuse for placing the Garay enter prise and the Sloo.enterprise on the same footing in regard to ever) . claim npon the protection or countenance of this Government. Such treaties of guaranty may, as the present Administration be lieves, obstruct, in future, our extensive policy.— There is a troub esome guaranty still • left against us, in the Guadalupe Treaty, and there is more anxiety to get rid of that than to engage in new ones. CONSOLIDATION FESTITAL.---There will be a great time in Priladelphia on tae 10th and 11th of March. The citizensfavorable to the measure of consolidation have determh ed t celebrate the con. summation of that act on the da'c's mentioned, and have eaten ed an invitation to the entire legisla tive body to participate with them in their festiv ities. The invitation has been accepted by both houses, and we have no doubt the members and other 'invited guests' will have a refreshing and sa lubrious season.

Tamura Congreu4—Firit lieldear WjYmmeaiom, March Y+ Sza...Tc.—Thi Nebraska pin was restitned. Mr. Clayton said, that when he stopped, yester day, he was considering the !propriety of, giving to the people of the Territory' the tight to legislate upon the subject of slavery,-and had shown that to give them that power, would be to . give there not self government, but the goernment of others.= . The bill also gave the Gove r nor an abso l ute e veto. — Übe was elected by the *pie, it. Wat a denial to the people ot sell 'govet mint. He repeated his'ob jections to the login ot government given, becauee at the want of population in the territories. He'de sired that the provistous of the bill establishing tlie. Legislative Council and conferring its powers be stricken out, and that the provision ot the act ui 048, giving legislative power to a cohcil corn tented of a Governor, Secretary and Judges, and de. ; eying to the Legislature any power whatever over toe subject of slavery, should be substituted. tin suggested the question, wnettier this bill repestleu me provision in the Texas resolutions—that all its States formed out of her territory north of 38 deg. 30 min. should be free. He toadied his argumeu comet the constitutionality of the Missouri com promise, by quoting a speech of John 4. Adams in. me Arkansas bill, wherein the ground, was taken toot Congress had uo power to rouse admission to a State because her Constitution recognized slavery tie did not approve of me provision is toe bill id towing aliens to vote upon the 'declariatiop ot as ittiention to become citizens. He also expresses. ms sassent hum the seuuments advanced , by torne Senators, in favor ot a twiner extension of terms, ry lie thougnt toat it toe Union was ever wreck. it mu-t be upon the extension of territory.. 'in, United States had now 'territory sufficient to create its handrail States. It territory ,were acquired' and our people cease to be a homogeneous orie,ths strong attachments of affection and race would nu longer exist. Mr. cnase said the debate had'hot been pursued closely, the question pending being on his amend mein, but bad been mostly upon the question ot the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. This bill was professedly for non-intervention, but, in' tact, was intervention. It 'professed to leave existing. law alone. but, in tact intervened to overthrow and repeal the existing law which was the Missouri prohibition. The South believed that under the constitution slaves could be carried there, arid. this bill gave power to the legislature, subject to the Constitutiod of the United States, and tnerefore the South believed the territory could not prohibit it. His amendment was only to make it clear that the territorial legislature was not denied the pow er to exclude slavery. A majority ol the Senate believes the territorial legislature has the power to exclude or permit slavery, and if they put in this amendment, and then add the further power to per mit it, if they pleased, the doctrine of sell govern ment would be lull. Mr. Badger said that all understood the position of the Senator from Ohio with respect to-this bill, and, understanding, it was the duty of every Iriend of the bill to reject any amendment „coming from that quarter. While that Senator, o ith cool, im passioned iervor, has avowed that he is in censef. time bound against any compromise on this ques tion, and while he calls upon Southern members to oserve plighted taint north of 36 deg. 30 inn., he at the same time avows that he is not bound, and never will consent to allowing the South any chance north of that-line. That Senator has avow ed that he will not be bound by any agreement or ,act which would allow slavery any where North or booth. The Senator could only mean one thing by any amendment of his , apd that was mischief. It was the rule for Senators to present papers lo the body with a statement of their purport, and from a confidence that Senators would not present anything offensive to the body, all papers were re ceived without being read. He lound in a New York paper which sympathized in sentiment with the Senator, a statement that the Senator from Ohio, among other papers, presented to the Senate, a day or two ago, one containing a resolution de claring that any member of Congress who would vote for Mr. Douglas' Nebraska bill was a traitor to his country, to lreedom, and to God, and deser. ving only 01 everlasting infamy. The Senator pre sented to the Senate a paper containing this reso lution, so denunciatory and offensive to tt large ma. jority of the Senate—oy presenting it, the Senator nod implicitly endorsed it. By presenting it he had become a party to it. The friends of this bill were fully the equals in all respects of the Senator from . Ohio. He did not know whether the resolution was actually contained in the paper presented by the Senator from Ohio, but finding it in the paper sympathizing with the Senator's views, he suppo sed there Was no doubt of it, Were the Senators tit the. United States to be overawed and insulted by foul mouthed calumny? Was it not enough that the newspaers of the North teemed with per soual denunciations of Senators? Was it not sm. &lent that Free Soil and Abolition inediainoabouid tnreaten Congress with maledictions human and divine? Was it not enough that Senators should be deity denounced and insulted by blackguards, all over the country, that, in addition to all this, ne Senator from Onio should Introduce and lay on the table ot the Senate this resolution? Mr. Cass asked the Senator to read a newspaper which he sent to him. Mr. Badger said that it was unnecessary. He then referred to the character of those editors at the North who lied to live, and who instinctively take up falsehood, insults and denunciations to oppose ail that Was good, mural, wise and virtuous. . Mr. Chase said lino a large number of these pa pers were sent to him, and he could not carefully examine them. He was not aware that the rase onion was contained in the paper he presented; it oe had been, he would have consulted the rule that rsqutied that all papers presented to the body should be reepectlul. He was not accustomed to use such language in his intercourse with SenatOrs; out the people in expressing their indignation at ton proposition to repeal a compact of thirty year's standing, could not be expected to use measured language, or regulate their words with that preci sion reqiured by the rules ot the Senate. There should be some excuse for the excitement of the people. He neard pretty hard epithets us-d in de note here towards the opponents of this bill. Mr. Dixon asked it toe Senator endorsed the statement contained in the resolution. Mr: Chase. Ido not. lam very far from sup. posing or delaring . that auy Senator, who, in the exercise of his sound judgment in voting for 'or against this bill, did so otherwise than in the exec vise of pure motives. He never used such language to other Senators. He had lived long in the slave States. He bad received his professional education nom a Southern man, William Wirt, and enjoyed nit confidence till his death. He'comn3erited upon Mr. Badger's statement, that no amendment com ma' from him should he adopted. Mr. Badger—Not because it comes from the Senator from Ohio, but from an Abolitionist. Mr. Chase—That is the old cry, that no good can come out of Galilee. Cries of 'Nazareth, Nazareth: Mr. Badger—He is not more correct in quoting Scripture than he is in quoting me. Mr. Chase said he never refused to carry out a compact, The North had not done so. He never considered the acts of 1850 a Compromise or com pact, but as separate acts to stand on their respect. ive merits. Mr. Dixon asked several questions of Mr. Chase, which, after much contusion and excitement, he answered in detail. Mr. Cass said the act of 1820 was an interven tion by Congress with slavery. This bill was to set that intervention aside, and leave matters as they stood helots.. This was clearly noninterven tion. Mr. Stuart discussed whether the substitute was now before the Senate or not. He said that south. ern men were not to be affected by the passage of this bill. The responsibility of this discussion was to be at thViorth. He did not believe the bill now had sufficient directness. He believed the bill did give the people full power, over the subject, but the South interpreted it one way - and the North another. He wanted the bill so plainlY worded as to defy double interpretation—otherwise he would not vote for it.'Fbe Senator from Delaware had said the repeal ot the Missouri Compromise wouli revive the French laws, previously existing, which recognized slavery. He tad an amendment, which if not added, he would never vote for the bill. The amendment provided that the repeal of the Mis. Faun act should not revive any law authOrizing slavery in the,Territory. He regretted, and replied with warmth, to Mr. Badger's remark, that it was the duty of all the friends of the bill to vote down all amendments coming Irom Mr. Chase. He would vote )or any goodpropositiop, andagainst any wrong one without reference to who should propose it. Mr. Jones asked if the Senator believed that the Missouri act was constitutional. Mr. Stuart—l do, He said he regretted the course recommended by Mr. Badger. The Senator from Ohio moved some time ago to strike out the provision which declared the Missouri 'Compro mise superseded by .the principles of the 'acts of .1850, and thought that declaration was historical ly false. The Senate refused to vote it out. A few minutes atter, the Senate, on motion of Mr. Doug. lasidid strike it out and inserted another, declaring them inconsistent with one another. - Mr. Badger replied, contending that he was right in recommending the rejection .01 all the amend ments coming Irom fir. Chase. This bill now clearly devolved on the people of the Territory iullpower to regulate all domestic institutions in cluding slavery. He believed that nothing coming irom the avowed enemies of the 'bill had any other piirpobe than to embarrass-the bill. Mr. Chase said the purpose of the amendment vras to.g,ive_the people sell i govepuneot theler gest sense: Mr. , Badger said the amendment Was to give power to exclude slavery, and the Senator rehired to accept the alternative power of permitting it. If it were put in The bit would the Benator vote tor it. . ' • . - - Mr; chase --I would n . 1. f'' Mr. Badger continued is remarke in favotof the bill. - .. 1 • -..". I .• Doitglas thought t p e SenatoiVironi Mehl gan had gone .beyond therulei of courtesy in lean ring, the Senate votin g a falsehOCKL This, he tbudght,swas a serious reflection on two-thirds of the Senate who' voted on rt. He explained the bill and maintained that the language adMituld of no more directness than the bill now contained. The bill givis all power over ttie subject of slatiery—to exclude or . permit it—subjsct only to the Constitu tion of the United Strifes. It the Constitution did not give that power, then the bill could not give it. Mr. Stuart warmly replied to the Senator from Illinois. That Senator before now had sought per• anal difficulty with hinn. He then asked Mr Clayton a he had in any way lectut•ed . thn Senate beyond what courtesy and parliamentary law al lowed, Mr. Clayton said he,did: not think the Senator had. Mr. Stuart then appealed to Mr. Everett. Mr. Weller, in the Chair, decided that it , was not in order thus to interroga•e Senators. Mr. Stuart appealed from the decision. After aoma_confusion, Mr. Stuart withdrew his appeal:— He then said that if any one understood' him as lecturing the Senate, he asked him toSay so. Gwif--Did you rot say that the vote given by the Senate was historically false 't Mr. Seward called the Senator from Calilornia to order, for interrogating the Senator. Mr. Stuart explained that as hed pronounced the declaration on the bill. [Much confusibn and ex. cttemet.t prevailed.] Mr. Stuart-said, that though he had the greatest personal and political friendship for the Senator from Illinois, yet it would never do for that Sena. tor to attempt to put bins down. He was not made of stuff of that kind. The Senator was never more mistaken in hie life. than in supposing he could be forced to vote as the Senator pleased. If the Sen ator xupposed be had the power, by the grace of God or otherwise, to dragoon him, the,Senator was utterly Mistaken. Mr. Gwin said it was evident that the Senatr•r from Michigan had been mistaken. Messrs. Shields, Cass and others explained wha Mr. Stuart had said. Mr. Douglas expressed himself satisfied. He dis avowed all design to attempt dictation over any - one. Mr. Walker deprecated the course of denunciation pursued towards Messrs. Obese and Sumner, and the dogmatical speeches of the friends of the bill He commented upon the high character for virtue, morality andability of Mr. Chase, and said he would never consent to denunciation of him. He asked Mr. Clayton if, in his opinion, the repeal of the Mis souri act would revive the old laws of Louisiana in Nebraska. • Mr. Clayton said he believed the Missonri act was unconstitutional, and did IRA repeal those laws. This question, whether the repeal of a repealing statute would revive former repealed acts, Was dis cussed for an hour by Messrs Walker, Butler, Tou cey, Benjamin and Badger. Mr. Walker regretted' the renewal of the 'agita tion. It wool.; have a disastrous result to the Dein ocratic party. The-whole country had acquiesced in the acts of 1850. This act would revive agita tion, and lead to efforts for the prohibition of sla very from the Territories the repeal of the Fugi tive Slave act, and the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. It would not produce quiet. Mr. Butler said the North gave the people of Utah and New Mexico power over this question, because Spanish law was in force, and now refused it to Nebraska because it was supposed the French lawwould be in force. This bill gave the terri tories the power to act as if the law was in exis tence there. He regretted to hear that the passage of this bill was to create agitation at the North, and that the North would drive the South to the extent of its power. He relerred to a New York paper, which said that if the bill passed, the South would be excluded from all territory, and might expect the enactment of the scenes of San Domin go, and wives and daughters were to be given up to the black man. Mr. Cass said that paper was the same one which hail denounced se'eral Senators by their names as pickpockets and rascals, and it did not speak the sentiments of the North. Messrs. Walker and Weller continued the debate —the latter saying that if the Democratic party. was to be ruined by the extension -of the principle of self government to American citizens, it ought to die, and not only die, but be damned too. Mr. Dodge, of lowa, agreed with Mr. Badger, that all amendments coming from the enemies of the bill should be voted down. The question was then stated to be oti Mr. Chase's amendment, to add to the 14th section the words: --that the Legislature of the territory shall not be precluded from prohibiting slavery therein." Mr. Badger said that it that were voted down, he would move to amend the 14th section by adding thereto the following: "Provided that nothing contained in this act shall be construed to revive or put in force any law or which may have existed prior to the act of the 6th of March, 1820, either protecting, establishing, pro hibiting or abolishing slavery." Mr. Stuart said that he had said he would vote for Mr. Chase's amendment, but as this was one to -be offered by the Senator from North Carolina, he would not vote for it. The question was then _ taken on Mr. Chase's amendment and rejected, as follows: , Yeas—Messrs. Chase, Dodge of Wisconsin, Fes sendenden, Fish, Foot, Hamlin, Seward, Smith, Sumner and Wade-10.

Nays—Messrs. Adams, Brown, Dodge of Wis., Johnson, Rusk, Sebastian. Mr. Douglas moved to amend by striking out the words, -the power of Congress to disapprove the legislation of the Territory,' and changing the veto power of the Governor, so that it Int& be over ruted by a two-third vote. %Adopted. Mr. Clayton moved to strike out the provision allowing aliens to vote and hold office. Messrs. Walker, Pettit, Dodge and Chase oppo sed the amendment, and Mr. Clayton supported it, when it was, agreed to.—Yeas 23, nays 21. Mr. Chase offered an amendment, .making the Governor, Secretary and Judges elected by the peo ple of the Territory. He explained and enforced it. Rejected—yeas 10, nays 30. Mr. Chase offered an amendment, putting Nebra ska and Kanzas in one territory, and under one government. He argued the absence of any neces 'sity for two territories. Mr. Mason said he fully endorsed all that was 'said by Mr. Badger. that it was the duty of ever) friend of the bill to vote down this and all other amendments offered by the Senator from Ohm. Mr. Chase said he had offered his amendments, because they were, in his opinion, right. He knew no rule of propriety on constitutional right, by which-a Senator representing Ohio the third State oftbe Union, and truly representing the sentiment of that state, was to be denied the privilege of offering amendments to this or any other bill; or -why amendments offered by the Senator from Ohio were to be rejected because he offered them. When once the Senate had resolved on the princi ple of nonintervention, he had offered amendments, not against it, but:to carry it. 103 its full extent. Mr. Mason responded, denying that any amend ment offered by the Senator was intended to carry out the principle of non-intervention. His sole ject was to,defeat the bill. He had read of a war rior who carried a huge shield, covered with seven bulls' bides, and closely studded with brass. The Senator from Ohio must.suppose himself covered with some such shield from the just c6ndemnation of the country. This was the last - struggle of that party, of which the Senator was an illustration. If this bill was passed their vocation would be gone— their last plank in the shipwreck taken from them, and they would die as they deserved to die, howl ing, howling; like fiends, because they had not been able to destroy the country which protected them. The South had not proposed this measure. It had never originated any measure upon the subject of slavery. Though this bill contained much of in justice to the. South, he was still willing to lake it as a small advance towards justice and as a meas ure of peace. Mr. Wade *aid he bad listened as long as hecould quietly to the unjust and unbecoming aspersions cast upon the Senator, who,With hum, truly repre sented the great State of hio. He wondered at the calmness with which his colleague bad borne the•taunts and imputations thrown upon him per sonally, and upon his motives and conduct. Such conduct could no longer be put up with. Ohio was not inferior to any other State. Her Senators were A not to bithrowbasteit byany:Peuenidwarevnot to be frith — Willed out of tliarfaht to.iiiffhr amend: manta to any bill pending in the Saiiite Of the U.

The very men who now ad'rtienhouslyadvocaiedita repeal, because it was unconstitutional, had over 'aid Over voted for its extension to the Pacific. ITo deny its constitution. ality was to leave their own conduct open to pre:- suerptioes which it would not be parliamentary to riahte. The unconatitutionality'ol•the Wilmot Pre viso was but little over six 'yejua old at the North. It had its commencement at a time when the Sen ator from Michigan Tound it' necessary to strip him self of all, burtheneome habiliments in the grea: presidential race. The Declaration of Indepen denap had been assailed by the supporters of rho bill. Not only the acts of the Father of his Coun try had been declared unconsututional, but what they declared to he self l athiest truths, bad been declared a& evident lies. It was necessary to de clare the Declaration Of Independence a lie, or this could not be supported. It was now 8 o'clock, and Messrs. Cass, Everett and many other Senators had left the Senate sham ner. Mr. Mason said, that it he bad any feeling of pereonal tinkindness to the Senatorfrom Ohio, (Mr. Chase,) he would congratulate that Senator on the defence made for turn and upon his defender. But wishing him nu unkindness, he would not offer such congratulations. The amendment was then negatived--yeas 8, nays 34. The substitute, as amended, was then agreed to in placb of the original bill, and'the bill as amend ed was reported to the senate. At half past 8 o'clock Mr. Adams moved an ad journment. Lost—yeas Id—nays 22. Mr. Walker requested a separate vote on con curring with the amendment striking out the pro viison allowing aliens to vote and hold office, up on declaring their intentions to become citizens.- He opposed that amendment.

All the' other amendments were concur red in. Mr. Bell said he was not opposed to the general provisions of the bill as it now stood; but he had some objections to it, which might prevent his vo ting for it. He desired to be heard on it. Cries of 'go on ' , go on—we'll pear you now.' • Mr. Bell said he was too exhausted to proCeed now, but still he desired' to be heard before the bill was engrossed, because. if he should suggest anyamendment which the majority might approve, it could not be done alter third reading.

He now gave notice that he would tomorrow, move a suspension of rules,: in order to take up this bill. And thee, at five min utes before 9 o'clock the Senate adjourned. INCIDENTS OF THE LATE STORM ON THE OHIO —We have heard of a great many incidents, and narrow escapes of boatmen exposed to the horrors of the storm which swept over the Ohio on Sunday night, the 19th ult. One of the most daring feats was performed by two of the crew of a pair of coal boats belonging to Mr. Leslie, of Pittsburg. The boats started for New Orleans on Saturday evening, from Jeffersonville, in charge of Montgomery and Sturgis, pilots, and on the next night the head pi lot, while the storm was brewing, determined to tie the boats up. The small boat, or skiff, had be. come useless, and in the meantime the storm broke upon them in all its fury, and the pilot told his crew that the only chance for safety was to get a line ashore. At this, the second pilot, L. Sturgis, and one of the crew, a green hand from the Indi ans, but a willing and darinesoul, jumped into the river with a line, and succeeded in swimming to tbe . shore, and made it fast to a tree, thus landing and saving the boats Soon after the performance of this feat, a coal boat belonging to Kirk Lews, one of the pair pilot ed by Miller, came down the river and struck against one of the boats of Montgomery, that had thus been landed, and sunk it. The annexed para graphs in reference to the loss of a pair of coal boats belonging to Mr. Watson, piloted by Gail breath, involving the loss of. ten men is from the Cincinnati Coturnbian. The boats were in a sinking condition, and the pilot had started to the shore wi.h five of the men, telling the others to await his return, but they became frightened, and all jump ed into the skiff and sunk it. The wind swept in dismal bowlinge upon the turbid and angry waters of the Ohio, now swollen by the liberal out.pouring of its various tributaries, while the giants of the forest cracked and groaned as they bent before its resistless sway. Anon heavy flakes of snow, fleecy messengers of the storm king, swept through the air, adding to the wintry deso lation of the scene. Upon that dismal night there was 'a cry of de spair heard upon the dark expanse of the foaming current. It came from the crews of the coal boats which, unmanageable in the powerful stream were whirling rapidly to destruction. One gallant soul, with undaunted spirit and Herculean strength, ta king the end of a rope between his teeth, cast him self into the waves, breasting them until he reached the shore, but here his strength failed him, and he fell; at the same time a yell of agony burst upon the night, and the boats had swamped, and the strong men were swept like reeds, on, on beneath the dark waters. Of seventeen, who a few hours before we're full of lite and hope, but seven were saved. One who swam ashore perished when he landed, and nine sank to rise no more. The seven survivors were rescued lion] a similar late by Capt. Kepner, of the steamboat Scotia, who, after admin istering to their wants, brought them in safety to this city.—Louisville Courier. GOOD Trams von Isom IVlAsTass.,--The lion men says the Ledger, are doing a fine - business, so good, that they say not a word about a tariff.— There are thirteen thousand miles of railroad in operation, three thousand miles additional, it is estimated, will 134 built this year. For double tracks, one hundred thousand tons will be required this year. The quantity U of railroad iron, therefore in use by the end oh this year, allowing one hundred tons to the mile, will 'be one mil lion- seven hundred thousand tons, which, at $65 per ton, the present price, gives a total of $110,500,000 invested in railroad bars now in use. Eight Per cent. is estimated by the Railway Times to be the wear and tear of the jails in use, which would require an outlay for this item alone, of more than eight millions of dollars annu ally„ or . in the course of ten years, over eighty mil lions of dollars. By January, 1860, there will, in all probability, be in operation in the 'United States, 30,000 of railway. Between now and that period, there will have to be furnished, by our manufactu rers, the iron for some nineteen thousand miles of new track, and as 'much as eight per cent. per an num of the amount now in use. This magnificfnt amount, with the multiplied uses for iron cars,3o comotives, steam engines, machinery, steamboats, iron sailing vessels; iron buildings, &c., gives to the iron trade the most flattering prospects, if nothing intervenes to stop the progress of railroad constrfic tion.
