The passage of the bill in this shape is a great triumph, and these only who know the means used to de feat it . can appreciate the greatness of the victory. The result was achieved mainly by the manly stand taken by Senator Bees Toe in its favor. The Senate incorporated into the bill the Mi&sotiri Coro promise line, which the Home very pro, erly struck oni. because it had no business there, and enacted in its stead the Wilmot Proviso principle. When the hill came back to the Senate r WI this amend- meta, Mr. Bvs - ros, in allusion to certain threats of a dissolution of the Union should the bill pass in this siting, said that such threats had no terrors for hint. This talk `about a dissol u tion-of the Union he regaided as all fiefee-- full of sound and tiny, •-ignif)ing nothing." Upon the conclusion Giehis e•marle., he moved that the Senate recede from its ainetalment. This motion struck the Southern Ilissors with aularement,and every effort was made use. of to induce him to withdraw it, or to stare 611 a dime vote on it by talking against time. Mr. Fenn: indicated that " a great change had been coin;; on M i llis Ile said, anume, oth er things, that he had infortuation in which he had issaldeuce, that within two weeks a letter would be published from Gen.

In pursuance of notice given in the National Con vention. a meeting of the Pennsylvania 'delegation was held at the American Hotel, an the city of Buff alo, 11th August, 3848. The meeting was called to order by Wm. I.saistr.a, Jr.,of Allegheny NM. ty, upon whose motion losers Ntgor., of Montgom ery county, was appointed chairman, and E. D. GAT/. Nt secretary. Atter a bnef debate, and interchange •of semi- . meats, it appeared to be the general sense of the meeting that the appointment of a State Committee and the nomination of an electoral ticket ought both to be referred to a State Convention, and that a call for said Convention, should be• made forth- with. Wheietipon, on motion of John A. Wills, of All egheny, seconded by S. F. Beadle) of Luzeme, it was unanimously.

Ranging Companies, and Subi4ituting of Dragoons, for the Protection of our frontier, takes place at a juncture in Indian atlairs which is caleulated to excite a pre liension among the settlers on our Western frontier. The regiment cf rangers has been organized anew and additional companies raised, in anticipation of an outbreak of the Indian tribes. The Houston Slur, in relation to this matter. says: " We are credibly informed that a message was lately seist by several of -the principal chiefs of the Cannatches to Col. Bell, wanting him that. their hunting grounds had been encroached upon by the settlers, and that they should a-rert their right to the soil by force of arms,' unless the settlers should be removed from the In dian lands before autumn. The settlers on the whole line of her frontier, from Red River to the MHina. have become alarmed by the threatening attitude assumed by the Indians, and if the Rangers should be withdrawn at this period, many of the settlements on the frontier might be broken up."

Mr. Benton replied as follows: MI this talk about the dissolution of the 'Union gave hint no concern. He was peculiarly consti tuted as to the subject. His observation of public affairs went beck to that period of our history when Aron Burr engaged in his enterprise of 'disunion. He (Me. a) was a boy of sixteen, but was as ote server of events, and a reader of the public journals. He acknowledged that-he then read with mortifica tion—and few things from the same source Intl ever failed to meet with his cordial approbation— he real be paid with mortification, the poaclartia lion of Mr. Jefferson, in which be denounced the project of Burr as dangerous to the Union ; for at that time, there was not a neighborhood in the West in which Bun Would disclose his project. If he had done so, the women and children would have tied him down and sent him to the nearest place of justice dragged by a dog-chain. As long as he presented mere designs of a dazzling nature, and not concerning our own Government, he was lis tened to; but when, on the Mississippi, he did dis choe his treasonable object, he was immediately obliged to fly into the wilderness and become an outeast from society. There in his hiding place— in his disgui4—in a creek, where the atheist or has his place—he was accidentally encountered at night, by one who before affording him relief, de manded his name: Who are you? As soon as he gave his name he was taken into custody, and by a string led into the Georgia settlements. ' Burr having heard of the sympathy often i exc tell in behalf of great men strug..... , ling with advers- ty,, appealed to some person in Georgia for his res. cue. He addressed some boys as to his case, and at first. very naturally excited their sympathy. But, when these boys beard his name, they refused to afford any succor. Such (said Mr. will be the end of all attempts to dissolve this Union, to divide it by any line. lie would (he said) think that a man who might bring brick, mortar, and trowel to Jam up the mighty Mississippi, had commences] a feasible and wise enterprise, in comparision with the project of that man who might undertake to run a dividing 'line between the States of this Union. All this talk of disunion was idle. It was like " A tal• told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury, signifying, nothing." No influence had these menaces on him. A key droped into the broad Atlantic would. as it had been sa - til, produce a disturtmtiee that would be felt in the seas of China. Just, as little did this talk of dis- union ruffle him. Thus, he said, would end the cha uer number two, (NipArd by Regain The National Reformers and free soil party met: on the 23d inst. in pursuance of adjou rn ment, 4 the house of N. B.

The wings will charge us of having but one influence to favor the democrats aid the democrats will make the same charge of favoring the wings, and the know. ing ones of both parties will call us abolitionists, anti-renters', &c., &c., and a thousand'other nangh. ty names. The numerous attempts of some of the leading men of both parties to gain a place among us, plainly indicates, that their disappointed ambi tion will direct their attack in this channel.

But, there is a class of freemen scattered through the length and breadth of our County, who feel in duty bound to use their best efforts to produce the greatest amount of public and individual happiness.

Which the gentlemen who had wangled her move ments with increasing interest, soon beca m e ed was a-child that had fallen over the precipice.— They hagened to the end of the bridge, and sent down some men who hail not known of the aecid ent. The child, a little girl seven or eight years of age, was lashed to the back of one of the men and brought up, alive, althrough greatly injurned, hav ing one or both of her legs broken, and one -eye considerably bruised; but ihe will probably recover That the child was not instantly killed, is truly astonished! as it must have fallen over 100 feet per pendielarly, without anything to impede her pro greys, on the broken stones below. • • _ The coolness and intrepidity of the little girl, perham , 10 or 11 years ot4tge sister ot the one who met with the accident wa alho astonishing.—/ftef: filo Com.

No newsparper here dam tell the truth concern ing the battle of Slievenamon, but from all we can learn the people have had a great victory. Gen. ' Macdonald, the commander of the British forces, is killed, and 6,000 troops are killed and wounded. I The mad for three miles is covered with the dead We have also the inspiring intelligence that Kilkenny and Limerick have been taken by the people. The people of Dublin have gone in thou sands to assist in the country. Mr. John B. Dillon was wounded in both legs. Mr. Meagher was also wounded in both arms. It is generally expec ted that Dublin will rise and attack the . Jails on Sunday night, (Aug. 9.) An the people coming in on the railroad are cau tioned and commanded not to tell the news.— When the cars arrive thousand of the Dublin peo ple are waiting for the intelligence. The police drive away those who are seen asking questions. Why an this care of the Government to prevent the spread of intelligence, unless it be that, some thing has:happened which they want kept •as a se cret' If they obtain a victory, they would be very apt to let us know it. We are informed that the 3d Bons (a regiment I of Infantry) turned out and fought with the people. Cflie 31st Regiment, at Athlone, have also declared j; for the people, and two regiments have been sent I ; to disarm them. The mountain Of Slievenamon is almost inacces sible, There is but one approach.to- it. It is said to be well supplied with provisions. It was a glo rious place for our noble Smith O'Brien to select. It is said he has 60,000 men around him, with a considerable supply of arias, ammunition and can non. In . 98 the rebels could not be taken trim) Sli evenamon until they chose to come out themselves. A lady who came to town . yesterday, and who had passed the scene of battle, said that for three miles the stench arising from the dead men and horses was almost sufkeatin.r. - Wexford was quite peaceable till recently-- , but the Government in its madness proclaimed it. and now it is in arms to assist thecause.—Now that it e are fairly and spiritedly at it, are we not worthy of help!

The Irish News from Insh • Sonrces.—The Eng lish press, which always distorted the Irish hews, ha. now absolutely prohibited the truth conc4nine Ireland. from passing over the public conveyances.

Gerrt.v.mr.s desire to call the attention of your readers to a remark tble tact which has not been noticed, so far as I have observed, in any of the discussions which h4ve arise in respect to the limitation of slavery. It is this : The proposition of Mr. Jefferson in 1784, was not that slavery should be excluded from the territory northwest of the Ohio, but that sla very should be excluded from ALL territory ceded or to be ceded by individual states to the United Sates wherever situated. On the first oligarch 1784. a committee at the head of which was Mr. Jefferson submitted a plan for the government of—not the Northwestern—but the Western Territory. This territory was describ ed as lying between the thirty-first degree—then the extreme Southern boundary,.not then exactly defined, but North of the 47th degree. It.was pro , posed to divide this territory into se - renteen states the first eight lying between the Mississippi and ! a line drawn due Noith from the 31st parallel to the Northern boundary of the United States through the ; falls of the Ohio. the next eight lying between this line - arid a similar line drawn through the western 1 cape of the mouth of the. Great Kanawha, and the I t other state was to possess the territory lying bet ween the last line, Lake Erie, , Permsylvanta and the ' Ohio- river. After thus providing for the divisioo' of the whole territory of the U. S., acquired or to be acquired, with out respect to degree of latitude into independent States, the Plan of Jefferson proceeded to provide that these States should be free States. This was the Proviso which he proposed: it. Provided, than after the year 1801) of the Christain era t , lhere shall be neither slaves nor involUntary servitude in any of the said States otherwise than in ,the punishment of crimes, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted to have been personally guilty." This Proviso was stricken out of the plan on the 16th of April, 178-1 on the motion of Itlr. Spaight of N. Carolina, eleven States- being represented in the vote: The quest on on motion to strike out in that Congress, was put in this form : " Shall the clause stand r' If nine States voted "aye," the motion to strike out failed: If no States or ant. less number than nine voted "aye,:' the clause was stricken out. - l'pon 'he question being put. on Mr. Spaight's motion " shall this clause wand ?"'New Hampshire Massachusetts, Rhode Island Connecticut, York, Jersey, and Pennslvania, sereAtates, voted " aye." Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina three States voted " no.' and North Carolina was divided. Thus seven States were for the Proviso andthtee against it. Of the three thus• against it one was Viriginia, represented by three delegates of whom one, Mr. Jefferson ; was for it, and two Messrs. Hatily and Mercer, were against it, Had but one of Mr. Jefferson's colleagues shared his spirit, and had Mr. Spaight of North Caroliha voted with his colleague, Mr. Williamson, the Proviso wool.) then have been adpoted. Thy, eleven States present and voting, were represented by twenty- three delegates. 01 these sixteen tor the Proviso and seven only against it. Thus. with a majority of two-thirds of the States and two thirds of the delegates in its favor, the Jefferson Provisu was defeated. What vast consequences Vl4 tlO e. from -that minority decision!
