Considerable excitement prevails in the public mind, throughout the couctry, in relation to the proposition recently introduced in Congress, to abol ish Slavery in the District of Columbia. This is quite natural' Is there bas been no subject, since the 'organization of the Government, which has a ten dency, so much as this, to disturb the peace of our beloved Union. Every good citizen must deeply re gret the agitation of this question, as no good can possibly grow outof it, and unlimited mischief may be 'the result. Slaiery,.we admit, is the greatest curse that now stainalhe fair character ofthe A.meri , can Union,lnt it existed; at the formation of our present system of Government, and still exists, by force of the compact which was then entered into between the various sections of the Union. Mug- had and Virginia, two Slave States; ceded to the Union, a strip of land, ten miles square, known by the' name of the “District of Columbia" In this District, the inhabitanti retained all their original rights in regard to the subject of Slavery. Now, the 'question arises, has Congress the power . _ legally, to abolish Slavery in the District 'of Colirm bia n The 'powers of Congress are extremely ed; end are derived from the Constitution of the I:lnited States. What that Constitution authorizes Congress to do, they have the potoer to do—nothing more.- A strict construction of the Constitution, is alwayslhe safest for the country; and thus viewing, that instrument, we are honestly of the opinion, that it confers no such powers upon Congress. Besides being the National Legislature of the country, Con. gress are the Local Legislature of the District; hence, they are the agents or servants of the inhabitants o f the District, and should not enact any laws in rela tion thereto, which the citizens of the District do not expressly authorize and request themvpass. For Congress to undertake to force laws upon the people of the District, without their consent, is a speciii tyranny, which every correct thinking man must condemn as wrong. The people of the District of Colombia have not requested Congress to abolish [Slavery therein. The proposition originated with .a few hotspurs in the House of Representatives, who are extremely fond of notoriety, and hve and batten in, the midst of excitement. The time will come, (and we fervently hope that it is not far distantOwhen Slavery will be abolished, not only in the District of Columbia, but in many States of the Union where it now exists. Public opinion, upon this subject, is undergoing a radical change. The Slaveholders themselves, in many places, adMit that it is wrong to buy and sell human beings, like cattle in market; and had it not been for the violent conduct of the pseudo philanthlopists, swo:OrthreeStatesof the-Nolan would-long since , IraVe abolished Slavery widths 'their limits. or this .there is no manner of doubt. Let Congress act no farther ory..thifi.flmbject than the Constitution, et the country authorizes them to act, and there is no dan •ger of the peace and harmony of the Union being continually disturbed. ' Another Attempt to Reduce Wages We are told that the respective firms of Wood, Edwards & McKnight., G. & J. H.- Sboenberger, Bissell'. & Semple, and Church Sr Carothera,fron Manufacturer", of this city, have given notice to the hands in their employ, that they may. soon expect a seduction in their wages. Two or three other farms have expressed a determination to give similar no. tice to - their hands, and will no doubt do so. To their credit be it spoken, several manufacturers are opposed to this movement, and haie declared that they will continue business, as usual, at the present prices, which they consider fair andeluitable. This reduction in wages is intended to apply, we are informed, to peddlers and boilers. Peddlers now receive $4,00 per too, and, boilers $6,00. Ta king. into consideration the wages paid to laboring' hands, employed in those branches, the prices men- Mailed are low enough M all conscience. That there is any necessity for any reduction in wager in this branch of industry, we utterly deny. The raw ma terial is much cheap, now than it was a year ego, while there has been no reduction in the'priceof the manufactured article. The demand for:all kinds of iron and nails is probably greater now :than it was at any'period heretofore.: For the truth of this as sertion, we will . mention'the fact that one establish- ment has been unable to fill all the orders upon it; and not long since, the raw material was inkentrom the wharf in the morning, evening into iron, and shipped off the same ! Then why should , there be a reduction of wages? every one will ask. The bailers and puddlers have asked their employers the question, , and only in one instance was there an answer . given. A member of one firm frankly admitted that the object of the movement woe to break up the small establishments., or, to use• hie own significarit language, gg the big fish are going to swallow up the little ones 13 , The wealthy monopolists are anxious to crush those who are doing a small business, and get them out of the way, in order that they may fix prices to suit them selves. Whilst they remain in a state of . stmen , ' Mon, (which will be the inevitable result .of a re duction of wages,) we will find petitions in clrcu. lotion in every nook and corner of the.city, asking Congress to pass more restrictive Tariff laws, so as to exclude from market every species of iron, tho sale of which may interfere with the profits of the manufacturers here. We are rejoiced to learn, that the hands employ ed in the iron establishments, have had the moral firmness not to submit to this tyrannical proposition to reduce their wages. They are not a class who will bow the neck to every imposition that may be attempted upon them. They are men of intelli gence, whii know their rights, and dare maintain them. They have capital of their own, sufficiently large in the aggregate, to establish themselves in a profitable; business, whereby they can underdell those wno now wish to crush them. It would° be well for their present employers to think of this. There will be a mass meeting of those who are employed in the different iron establishments, at Duffs, in the Second Ward, on Saturday evening, next, and we anticipate a large gathering on that oc. carrion, of those who intend to resist everything like linposition. I Attorney General Darragh, we are informed, intends practising in this Court, instead of at Phila delphia, as has heretofore been the custom with the A.ttornies General of the Commonwealth. No , ap pointment of Deputy Attorney General, will, there lore, be made for this county. The extensive pri vate practice of Mr Darragh, would, we should sup pose, render' Ids acceptance of the office with the proviso that he should reside in Philadelphia; a pe• exinbiry We are glad that Mr. Darragivis not to leave this city.

NATIOSAL OBIZAVATOST, Washington, Jan. 5, 1848, Bth: I,bave the honer of making known to you a most important discovery for astronomy, which has been made by Dr. Locke, of Obio, and-of asking authority from you to avail myself o fi it for the use and proposition of this Observatory. The discovery consists in the invention ofa cs meg netic clock,^ by means of which, seconds of time may be divided into hundredths with as each accu racy rind precision as the machinist, with rule, and compass, can subdivide an inch of space. Nor do its powers end here. They are such that the astronomer in New Orleans, St. Louis, Boston, and of every other place which the magnetic tele graph reaches, may make his observation, and at the same moment cause this clock, here in W ashington, to record the instant with wonderful precision. Thus, the astronomer in Boston observes the tran sit of a star as it flits through the field of his instru ment, and crosses the meridian of that place. In stead of looking at a clock before him, and noting time in the usual way, he touches a key, and the clock here subdivides his seconds to the minutest fraction, and records the time with unerring °eau. racy. The astronomer in Washington MRS for the same star to crow his meridian, and as it does, Dr. Lockehi magnetic clock is again touched it divides the seconds and records the time for him with equal precision. • The difference between these two times is: the longitude of Boston front the meridian of Washing 'ton. The astronomers in New Orleans and St. Louis, and every other place within the reach of the mag netic wires, may twilit for the same star; and as it comes to their meridian, they base but to touch a key, and straightway this central magnetic clock tells their longitude. And thus thirprohlem, which has vexed astrono mers and navigators and perplexed the world for ages, is reduced at once, by American ingenuity, to a form and method the most simple and accurate. While the process is so much simplified, the re sults are greatly refined. In one nightthe longitude may now be determined with far mbre accuracy by means of the magnetic telegraph and clock, than it tan by years of observation according to any other method that has ever been tried. It is, therefore, well entitled to be called a most important discovery ; and it belongs tothat class of achievements by which the moat beautiful and endu ring monuments are erected to national honor and greatness. It is a national triumph; and my feelings '4E4:professional - pride will not allow me to pass it by without 'calling' war attention to the garland that has been hang about it by the nav y ' - TO the navy belongs the honor of having first ap plied the magnetic telegraph to the determination of longitude. Five or six years ago Captain Wilkes, of the navy, used'it for determining the difference of longitude between this city and Baltimore. This was the first time it had been applied to such a pur pose; and it was a great improvement upon the methods Which, : up to that time, had been used for finding the longitude, for it reduced the results down to the accuracy with which the time between the ticks of the second-hand could be measured on the face of the clock by the eye and ear. And thus the honor of being the first to convert the magnetic telegraph into an astronomical instru ment, and that too into on of great practical value and importance, was secured by one of its officers to the American navy. Though the error. of the prob lem were greatly reduced by this discovery, there were, however, small sources of error still remain ing, and was left for Dr. Locke, formerly an officer of the navy also, to devise a means of eliminating them so completely, that now there is scarce a. trace* left in the results—so free are they from doubt and, error uncertainty. The probable of longitude de termined with Dr. Lockets clock, is brought within such narrow limits, that if, while the astronomer in St. Louis or elsewhere ,were operating with the mag netic clock here for his longitude, the observer it Washington were to move from one instrument to another in this building, le fact that he had moved would be - madelkaniam at once, and whether he had moved to the the west would be told by the clock, and appear in the resultinglongitude. Dr. Locke was formerly a. member of the medical ccirps of the navy, and as such spent a portion of his early manhood and prime years of his life at mu— tt is, therefore, not surprising that sailors should he quick to lay hold of the problem of longitude through any improved beans that may be offered for its solu tion. Every one can see the importance of accu rate determinations of longitude, but sailors both see and - feel it. In his letter to me describing his clock, and giv ing an account of its perfoftnance, Dr. Locke kindly offers to put up one at this Observatory. It would be of Incalculable service and advantage. It would increase the accuracy of results, and great ly multiply them in numbers. With this clock one observer could do more, and better work, than two can now. An illustration of the value rot such a clock just now occurs. lam writing at night; the sk) is very clear, and it is the first fair night for ob servations that we have had this year. The wind is very high, and the observers have just come in to say they cannot hear the clack on account of the wind, and therefore they- cannot observe. Now, it is not necessary to hear, or even to see the magnet-_ is clock ; and had we one, we could work quite as well in windy as in calm weather. While, therefore, one of Dr. LocluPs magnetic docket would be of such value to the Observatory, it would, without at all interfering with that value, -be of incalculable advantage to the public generally; for wherever in any , part of the country there is a transit instrument and a line of wires, this clock may.be used by the observer at that instrument, not only for recording his observations, but also for de, outlining his longitude from'the capital of the coun try; and thus it wculd, without costar trouble, en able the National Observatory M perform a most' important part of its appropriate duties, and a most acceptable service to the world, ihlterfecting the ge ography of the country, and in iffording so ninny well-determined points of departure for thvravel ler, the surveyor, and the navigator.
