kThe Compromise Rill Defeated I—The See

We have the gratifying intelligence of announc
ing the defeat'of the bill reported by the Committee
of the Senate; compromising the rights of Freedoi
and cone-ad - mg an the south • wished. By a tele
graphic despatch to the Ithaca Daily Chronicle, of
the date of July 29th, we learn from Washington
that the Horst: on Friday took up the reference,
and it was almost instantly moved that it lie on , the
table. The previous question was ordered, and ta
ken by yeas and nays, which resulted yeas 112—
nays 92. The Free States gave 140 yeas and the
Slave States 8. The Slave States gave 87 riayd and
Free States 21. All the nays-from the Free States
were Democrats, and every Whig present froin the
Free States voted to lay the bill on the table. there
were 11 absentees but the Free State, and 5 from
the Slave, Speaker Winthrop not counted.
A motion to reconsider was. defeated by 18 Ma
i° 6 IY.
"Ttre BRADTORD ARGUS" is very much alarmed
about the call for a Free Soil meeting. The •other
day that paper called the Proviso a true W4lg doc
trine. Now it wishes its Whig friends to repudiate
it. It also , pays our work a compliment by saying
14 that this call was issued from the office ril that
out and out locofoco sheet, as the type and 'whole
general appearance •of 'he thing, is such that: it could
nd )have been printedaat any other office in this sec
tion of the country." This is the only truth in the
whole article. Any one who has observedet their
mechanical execution will readily concede it. We
did it, as we do all our job work, in the best style.
Further, we had nothing to do with it.

—The Bermuda Royal Gazette, of July 18th, con
tains.the following important news relative to the
Slave insurrection at Santa Cruz :
We learn that accounts had reached St. Tohmas
from Santa Cruz; - ofan insurrection among thit
slave population of that island, of the massacre of
some of the white inhabitants, and of the &mime
uou by fire of a number of the estates. The work
of the incendiary was still progressing. as the fires
cold -bs seen from St. Thomas at the time of the
Lark's leaving.
The Dutch Government having emancipated
their slaves conditionally only,—their serving an
apprenticeship of twelve years—had led to this pro
ededing, and it WWI understood that their imme
diati3 freedom would be guaranteed to them it they
would cease taking the lives of the whites and stay
the destruction of property.
The Governor of St. Thomas fearing a similar
outbreak was about to declare, in the name of his
Government, immediate freedom to the slaves on
that Island. The white inhabitants were all armed,
and measures were being taken to put down by
force, it possible, any insubordination, The Go
vernor had requested Captain Barnett ..to remain a
few days to afford them 'assistance.
Santa Croz is one of the Canibe Islands, and
coctained in 1807 about twenty-five thousand blacks
a id two thousand whites.
Titz Counto,: IN New Yorte.--The fatal acci.
dent, an accovnt pf which was telegraphed to this
city on Tlinrsdafinght, is thus described in the New
York *raid of yestenlay :
A fatal accident, the result of carelessness, oc
curred yesterday afternoon, near the Catharine
it
ferry. Th e ferry boat Independanc.e, on way
to Brooklyn, was run into by the sloop eding,
of Bridgeport, just forward of the w house,
by which a chad of Mr. Robinson, of Madison
Street, was killed, elarge. piece of? wood having
sisick it on the head. A man, 'whose name was
not ascertained, bad his arm broken ' s_ and several
cthers were slightly injured. The nurse who
had •the child in her arms was considerably hurt,
and a man jumped overboard, who was immediate
ly picked up by a small boat near try. It appear.
ed that theAloop was coming down the river, with
no one on the watch, and when the pilot of the ferry
boat ei covered the sloopcoming immeliately on the
bdat, he had theengine reserv i ei, and called to the
captain' of the sloop, but there ® being no one for
ward his call was not heard. He then bad the ferry
boht backed, and again called to those on the sloop;
bat was not seen until too late to obviate the
collision. That was the most substantial boat on
the terry, but was considerably injured by the blow
from the sloop. There were many persons who
witnessed the accident, and all charge it to the
carelejieness of those on the sloop.
&scrum Cascor Inextrry.—The Pittsburg Dia
paich-tif Monday, Mates the following:
‘For'some weeks past mueh excitement has been
existing in Beaver and aisitind it, relative to the at
tempts of a man named Mirth, formerly of Fayette
county, to pass for Dated ifitcilo, son of General
Mitchell, (formerely of Centre county,) ex-Canal
Commissioner, who was one of the Duquesne
Greys, and died in ibeHospittal at Puebla, where
he was buried. Old Mr. Michell was so complete
ly deceived by a slight resemblance to his son, as
to receive him into his family—bin a daughter,
not
so easily imposed upon, is 'said to have left the
beluga in conseq_nence. For a time public opinion
was dividedlas to the identity of Davin, some in.
isistmg he wits Mitchell, others as vehemently. ,de
nying it—btit now it is strongly against him.—
Colonel Blak and others denounce him as an in
famous impositor."
The. fellow bas since been arrested and confined

FROM Coss.—The Charleston Mercury is inform.
ed by a pareenger by the schr. Cherokee ! from
Cardenas, Cuba, that during an entertainment
given by a wealthy Creole at Trinidad de Cnba, on
the 4th of July, some of the guests, natives of
the island, headed by the proprietor, hoisted the
American flag at the house. Thb troo:w were im
mediately called out, and every preparation n ade
to suppress an insurrection of - the Creoles. The
entertainer (a highly respectable gentleman) was
sent oft immediately to Havana in irons, and the
authorities are now busily engaged? in searching
oaf others wbo were connected with the transaction.
We understand that the island is in a state of great
agitation, wheh may terminate in a general using
of lhe Creoles at'a moment's warning.

If the irerth lame ail' important measure to be
promoted, it may sleep for months and yeart upon'
the tables of the same Sensorial body. But when
the slave interest has a point to cany, all islife and
bugle inane body. Nights and Sundays are not
even given to rest until the three' handredthousand
slave holders are gratified. Such was the case
with the annexation of Texas. How was it with
Oregon, the twin' sister of Texas I How is it with
the Branch Mint in New York, How is it with
the subject of cheap .postage ? The moment dav
rutters its behests, every ear is open to hear;
when other interests plow' for attention, they must
wait till the Senate is pelfectly at leisure.
The new plan of a compromise proposed, by a
committee, of ettic.h Mr. Calhoun is a member,
Ind adopted. with his consent, doesnot materially
differ, solar as nigtrars the provinces of New Mex
iCo and Catfornie, frobitfin plan accordingto which
that gentleman has fnalpfehtly expressed his desire
that the question should be rattled. With regard to
the territory . of Oregon, the qiiettion is given up.
So instant is the necessity of a government, tor
that country, that- the friends of slavery are not
willing to confront any longerthe odium of declin
ing to provide one, fiord° they venture to take the
responsibility of insisting upon a government,, in
which the desire of the inhabitants to exclude slaw
ry shall be disregarded. They therefore propose to
continue in force in laws panned by the present
temporary government of Oregon, among which is
statute prohibiting slavery, until others shall be
passed by the territorial legislature created under
the provisions of the bill. The slaveholders have
no hope of introducing slavery into Oregon, nor
are they willing to-attempt theimperin . tent of trying
to trust them an institution so much detestedrhere,
that its inhabitants would probably, if no othcr
mode remained, eject it by violence. They there.
fore agree in recommeding what they have hither
to pretended to Where is a violation of the constit
ution, namely, that Congress shall sanction the
express exclusion of slavery from the territory by
law, it wonderful with what facility these sere
pulousitatesmen cooperate in a violation of the con
stitution when their 'MOM are not concerned to
to oppose-it.
But with regard to the provinces of New Mexico
and California, it is intended that they shall be a
market for slaves; and here, accordingly, a stand is
made; here the scruples of the slave holders res
pecting the constitntron are revived in all their force.
The bill, therefore, does not sanction the pres
ent laws of those provinces, among which is one
prohibiting personal slavery. It provides what some
body calls the lowest, and what we add, le:the worst
form of territorial government, consisting of a Go
vernor, Judges and a Secretary, whe are to make
the laws, but who are expressly forbidden to make
any law respecting slavery, and it directs that all
questions respecting the rights of property to be
enjoyed by persons removing into the territory which
is a genteel circumlocution for the power of a mas
ter over the person of his slave, are to be decided
by the United States courts, with the rights of ap
pealr from the territorial Courts to the Supreme
Thie f if the bill became. a law amounts to a
renunciation of all authority on a pak of Congress
to leas: I . ate - on the question of slavery. It - first
takes thequestion ant of the.hands of the territorial
government, and next takes it out of the .bands of
Congress. A Governor and Judges appointed by
the President, himself perhaps a slaveholder, or
their thstrument, and who will therefore be likely
to take them from elaveholdiug states, are to frame
the laws. Territorial judges appointed by the same
authority are to administer them.
Under these circumstance, both in making and
alcninistering the laws, the greatest facilities may
be expected to.,be-t given to the slave owner in
transplanting the peculiar institution Of the south to
the new region. Though there is no power given
to legislate directly on the subject of slavery, in
direct advantages way be given In a thousand ways
to the slaveholder.
The territorial judges, iii taken from the south
will, of course, decide in favor of the slaveholder.
If au appeal should be taken from their decision
to the Supreme court of the United States, that hi.
banal is filled with so many members from the
south, that there is no certainty that its decisions
would be in favor of freedom. Talk as we may
of the impartiality of our courts, a judge from the
southern states, alliea to the aristocracy of these
states, would share their prejudices and deride
according to their viers.
This cempromis is thensforei an ingenious method
giving Mr. Calhoun his Own way in the controversy
It is a concession of everything by circumlocution
—stripping Congress of the power of legislation on
the subject of slavery, denying the power to the
governments of the provinces newly annexed.
Congress may pass it, but it will not quiet the
agitation. The free soil party will.not be satisfied
with any thing short of an express confirmation
similar tothat wtich is proposed in the case of
Oregon, of the present laws of New Mexico and
California, in favor of -persanalfreedom: For that
it will struw,le as W
arps there is a voice or a vote
left.

Tilt ST. CROIX INSURIIeCTION PUT Down.—Got.
Ichonton, of St. Croix, has =sued a Proclamation
on the sth instant. freeing all the blacks on the Is
land. The immediate cause of their freedom, it
was said, is this :—lle was met on the mad by
some 500 'of the inhabitants, who compelled him,
on pain of death, to issue the said proclamation.—
The white inhabitants aotknowing of the set, were
not prepared to protect themselves. The l
after obtaining their, freedom, set fire to and borne
a number of the plantations. A British steamer
lying in port was demached immediately to St.
Johns, P. R., and brought 500 soldiers to put the
blacks down. The limps attacked and killed above
one hundred of them, and took *number prisoners.
The government was immediately taken out of
the hinds . of the governor ; and a provisional go.
vernment was formed by t h e white inhabitants, to
protect themselves from the blacks. The Gover
nor's proclamation decreed that all Meeks on the
Wand were to be tree after the sth., all those who
were disabled were to be suppotted by their former
masters. This the whites protested against, on the
ground that if the slaves were set free the gove:n
ment should take care of them.

11111PORTA1rT Dcostori..--The-Law Journal fruitily • '
contains an eloquent opinion by Judge Lewis, de•
livered at the June Tern of Common Pleas Court
at Lancaster; on a case where a certain man devis
ed to his widow all his property, " provided she'
remained a widow during her life; but in case she
should marry again, my will is she shall leave the
premises;' &c. - The widow having married agein,
snit was brought by ether heirs of the husband to
recover' the property. Judge Lewis decided that
" the condition in restraint of marriap is void, and
the second marriage of the widow dams not divest
her est a ie"—" the principles of morality—the po
licy of the nation—the doctrines of the corninon
law—the law of nature and law of God, unite in
condemning as void the condition attempted to be
imposed by this testator upon his widow."
A FAITRIVL Doa.—We learn from the Mann
papers, that the " Duquesne Grey's" brought bask
with them a dog they took to Mexico. He secomr
panied them in all their sieges; battles and mareto
es, and was wounded by a shot from the enemay at
Puebla. He fared throughout the campaign knit as
the volunteers did, and appears as proud of his
achievements as any of them !

Alma. Curren: axe was or uzz—One of the
oat heart rendering calamities that we have lately
to record, occurred about? o'clock on Thursday
. ening last, on the levee opposite the Ursoline
vent.. On Tuesday last a small pardon of the
I vee at that spot
. gave way end! sank, and some
' were entertained at the time that a larger por
on would soon break oft. On the evening we have
spoken of, some men were engaged in driving pick
;down at the place where the bank had given
y in order to prevent the levee from further wear
away by the action of the water. Some fifteen
rural persons, who reside near the place, were
on the bank, viewing the deer and men
work, when about 200 feet of the levee in length,
end $0 feet in width, suddenly gave way, and with
out a moment's warning six human beings were
inshered into eternity. We Itriva learned the names
!of only sit persaw., as yet, who- were drowned, but
it is asserted that others who it present are not
!known were lost. The names of the victims, as
we have learned them, we Mrw.!lfypoline Tromp
and child, about eight months old Fanny Troump,
aged nine years; Louise Treump,aged seven years;
Felix Troump,agetwenty-four years ;Miss Charlotte
1 Drake and Franc is Andry.
The death a Mrs. Troump and child was the
most agonizing portion of the tenable scene: The
spot upon which she stood, instead of rolling over
into the-water as most of thebank did settled down
beneath her leaving her standing with her child
raised above her head, with the. true feelings of a
mother, and calling until she had nearly disapr
ed upon some one to save her child. Her husband
who was but a short distance froth her, rushed to
wards the spot,, and when within a few feet of her
a large pile °fantod fell over end crushed her be
neath it. Thuuntommate man, who had thus lost
all be held dear at &Moir" could with difficulty be
restrained from plunging into the water and going
thorn with hitt hirnily. Heyeatefiley presented the
most melancholy spectacle we have ever looked
upon.,Without noticing crowed that was Con
gregatd about• the place, he rowed over the spot in
a small boat from morning till night, vainly search
ing for the remains of his lost family. None of the
budiesqrad been recovered last evening.—N. 0.
, Pic, 15th.
The Commercial Bulletin- says it is rendered
certain that fifteen persons wire lost by this awful
calamity, and copinues :
"As far as we can learn" the accident ceznrred
eye:fly as all similar ones have happened. The
late high water had tandem. fined the bank, and in
descending, left it whhoot the accustomed support
of its pressur4, and of coarse ins own weight com
pelling it to fall. The breach is now at least 200
feet in frog by 60 bet deep extending as far back
as the street, and when oar reporter left last even
ing, at 8 o'clock, detached' pottiess of it were still
falling. Workmen are busily eirgAged filling it up.
Luckily, at the time, the river was very low, or a
large portion of the city would be in great peril from
and ovellow."
A Moses/err TO Sursw:—'Fasacts R Sue sir was
no ordinary man. The high and sincere regard en
tertained-for him, as a man and public officer, by
the people—men of all parties,--and the great pu
rity and Uprightness which marked his conduct in
every position, designated him as one whose teem -
ory deserves to be perpetuated, and whose life may
be regarded/as worthy of imitation by those of the
present and (Inure generations. - .Especially is this
true of him,, as a public ! o ffi cer.. !Of him, we feel
that it can be truly said that during his entire pub
lic career, he was always honest?—always faithful,
in the performance of his official. duties.
Monuments are erected, to those who die on the
battlefield. But it is more propel that they should
be erected to the patriotic warrior than to the patri
otic datesmfln, who, like Shonk,; dies not only in
the service of the State long and 'faithfully ! We do
not, think isio : and we therefore, suggest that the
people of Pennsylvania erect a monument in mem
ory of him Who will ever be esteemed as a good
citizen, a trite patriot, and an honest and faithful
public servant.
' We hope the approaching Democratic Sate Con
vention will consider this subject. Let that body
appoint au Executive Committee, to take char g e o
the proposed work, and also a Collecting. Commit
tee in ,eack country, and the people will cheerfully
do their pa-O.—Chester County Republican..
Rosuirric Avvsni.—A few nights since a roman
tic affair took place between a gentleman belong
ing to the Navy, and ayoung lady to whom he
had become attached. The latter is the niece. of a
wealthy genternan residing on Brooklyn Heights,
and is likely to become. bisbeir- Wean , th at th e
motives of the gentleman, who had concluded to
slope with the young lady, were suspected by her
friends. The time and place were arranged, but
the uncle became aware of the plan e and while the
lover - and his friends .were hovenng about the
house, they received a polite invitation from the
uncle to come in the front door, in straight-forward
way... After this was done, the uncle stated to his
niece that if she was determined to marry againt
his wish and atthe exprertive of the:fortune he intend
ed tb leave her, she might do so, and the ceremony
could take place immediately beneath his roof. The
niece and the.gentleman at once accepted the offer
and were married on the spot.—N. Tribune.
