ASSAULT OX FREEDOM.’* Buoh is the alarming ery of the Pittsburgh QaxtUt on Satarday last We were frightened os we read it. We thonght “ the British were coming.” But as wo read on, 10, and behold I it was only an assault on Dr. M’Clintoct, our democratic Senator at Harris burg. And it illustrates either theignoranoe or maiioe of the Gazette ltß editor may take whioh hom of the dilemma gaits him best; Now for the facts. ..'V:.■» Dr. M'Clintook, as chairman of the committoo on education, has reported to the Senate a bill to amend and improve the common school law of our Commonwealth; The Gazette admits that ninny of the features of the new bill are im provements on the existing school laws. It has long been known that some amendments were necessary. Dr. M’Clintook has taken hold of the subjeot like a faithful representative, and has got up a bill that, so far as we have examin ed it, seems likely to meet with general approba tion. ■ ■ > Bat the editor of the Gazette has made a won derful discovery. He has pointed out and pub lished, in Saturday’s issue, two sections, 28th * and 29th, of the new bill, and denounced them in unmeasured terms, os “another aetault on free dom." Quite an excitement was created on Sat urday, among tho readers of the Gazette, by this startling announcement. Tho two sections read as follows: “Thai, If any common school is orahtU hereafter bo en dowed by bequest or otherwise, tho board of directors or conirollera of the district ia which such school* may be situated, are hereby aothorUed to allow said school to re in ala under the Immediate direction of the .regularly ap pointed trustee* of the same, and to appropriate no much of rite-district fund to said school as they may think just and reasonable. Provtdpd, That such school shall bo open to the rlfdts of the directors or controllers of tho district, and conducted ia conformity with the common School system, •o far as tho tame Is applicable thereto. M That, when a tree school of the common grade, io nny district, ehall bo maintained under the care and direction of auy religious society, U shall be lawful for the directors or controllers of such district to cause to be paid to the pro per perron or persona, for the support of such school, any portion of the sehool funds of the district which they may deem just and reasonable, not exceeding the rateable share of the inhabitants whose children, ward* or apprentices shall be taught in such school. Prondtd, That such di rectors.or controllers shall be satisfied that such payment is cot injurious to tho common schools of such district, and that such free schools shall be opened to tho Tielts of the directors or controllers, and'couducted .la conformity with the common school system." ' The editor of the Gazette remarks in regard to those sections as follows: “While the astonishment occasioned by the audacious attempt to repeal the Missouri Compromise still occupies the public mind, we oro called upon to record another at tack upon the dtidel of freedom, by Dr. Jonas It STCltn toek, • Senator to tho State Legislature from this eouuty. This attack come* in so aocrct and insidious a form that it has nearly escaped detection. . The assault la upon tho Common School system, by legalising scctarisn dlrWon of the funds, ad claimed by Bishop O'Connor and tho Cath olic Hierarchy generally. Tho obnoxious provisions, grant - lug this dangerous power, are contained la a new school bill reported -to the Senate by Dr. M’CHntock, on tho 26th of Janaary. TFe bare not seen - the bill—the author was carefal not to settd lt to u* Now, what will be the astonishment of oar citizens to learn that these same two sections, so furiously assailed, are a part of the sohool taw of our State,—word for word a part of the law, ob it has existed on onr statute booh for several years. They are merely re-enacted to mahe the new bill perfect in itself; and simplify the school code. This “ aetault on freedom” then tarns oat to he an old law, that the Gazette has approved and praised for many yearn We said it woe, word for word, the old law. We will bo exact. The two words “or control lerz" are inserted in the sections in the new bill, merely for tho purpose of meeting a proposed alteration in tho management of the public schools in Pittsburgh. If any of our readers doubt the correctness of our statement, let them turn to the pamphlet containing the school laws, pages sth and 6tb, sections 20 and 21, and compare them with the sections published above, and they will be satis fied that the Gazette has assailed a faithful rep resentative without a.partiolo of cause; and has grossly deceived the public. If it was through ignorance, let him admit it; and admit, at the same time, that he has done gross injustice. "We will conclude with two remarks." If such is the course of the Gazelle on tins subject, what confidence can bo placed in his statements and representations in regard to the Nebraska Bill. » ' * What careß the Gazette for tho Missouri Com- promise, except to mako it an excuse'for assail ing the Democracy;’ as in thiß school case he assails the Democratic Senator and the Catho lics.

When such is the state of .the money market of New York there is seldom a scarcity of money to complain of in any part of the country. And it is believed that at no time, in this oountry, has so full a supply of money for all business purposes besn so abundant as at the present time. Yet, from the present aspect of the for eign demand for breadstuffs, a large amount of • money must come to this country from Europe. The receipts from California will also be large, and by June next the supply of money will be greatly inoroased. Should a general war ooonr in Europe, there is another sourcefrom whioh a lar{s amount of money will he drawn to this oountry. American . stocks and securities will, in that event, be in de mand, doubtless to a largo amount, for Euro pean capitalists. la the event of such a war, American securities will be thebest investments tfiat European capitalists can find. We arc told by eastern papers that agents of capitalists of Germany and Holland are now in the Baited States, inquiring into the condition and safety of ■ various railroad and municipal bonds and securities, with a view to investments. - There are but few of our railroad bonds and se curities that are not worth far more than Aus trian, Turkish, or even French government bonds. The payment of our bonds depends up on n apolitical contingencies of doubtful result: whereas the bonds of the Austrian government, should a revelation ocoar in Hungary or Italy, would-be wsth but little. From all these sources then, a supply of money may be expected, larger than ever before ■ tn^jwwn; and a supply more generally distributed over the conntiy. - A Qoikb Combosubm.— A b&at laden with tee, caught fire in the Peoria Lake a few days Since, The city engines patent the fire, bat the ,cargo was considerably damaged by the streams of water. .- A night’s good frost would repair all the damage.

A largo proportion of tho nowßpapers of Ma. ryland, Now York, and Pennsylvania, are advo cating tho repeal of tho usury laws, or material alterations in them. The Gazette seems to be a good deal annoyed by Mr. Barton’s letter. Mr. Barton colls the meeting held lately in Pittßbnrgb, in relation to tho Nebraska bill, an “abolition indignation meeting.” This does not suit the editor of the Gazette, as tho information has been industri ously circulated over the country, that it was. a meeting of onr oitizene, “ without distinction of party.” It was not so. It was a whig and abolition meeting, designed to make political capital; re open the everlasting slavery diseuesion; combine mere olosely the whiga and freo-soilcrs, and pre pare for a desperate onslaught upon democracy at the election. The people are not easily deceived. Such de monstrations are generally called “meetings of the cihzene." The names appended to tho call for the mooting,- the names of the ofiioere of the meeting, and the names of the speakers, all show what kind of a meeting it was. One demoera* was nominated as an officer of the meeting. Ho did not act. Hie name was afterwards published as one of the officers; and ho deolares it an error, and denies participating in nny way in the pro ceedings. For this the Gazette abuses him. But, it seems, Mr. Barton’s offence is that he did not get up and make a speech against the resolutions. And why did not tho editor of the Gazette get up and mako-a Bpeech? Was be faint-hearted in the cause? Did he doubt tho propriety of the resolutions? If ho was not there, why did he stay away ? This abuse of Mr. Barton is a very email game. .

We have said that, if n Bale could be effected without loss to the Commonwealth , there was no very serious objection to it. But this bill pro vides that they may bo sold for two-thirds their cost, which would, undoubtedly, bo n loss to the State. They are worth their cost, and a sale for less is a needless sacrifice: Correspondence of tho North American and .U.S.Gazette. Haubisbdeg, Jan. 31. - A bill for tho sale of the publio work a of tho State was read in place this morning, in tho House of Representatives, by Mr. Cook, of West moreland county—a Democrat in politios. A synopsis of this bill is annexed, because of its. importance, its probable future. prominence in this Legislature, and the largo degree of publio attention which has been given to the question. The bill authorizes the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, (who are the Auditor General, State Treasurer and Secretary of .the .Common* i wealth,) to receive proposals for tho ealo of tho i whole or any portion of tho public works.of this State, of every description ; the proposals, to be advertised for in papers published in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington City, Bal timore, New York, Boston, London, Pans, and Antwerp, to ho reoeived until noon on the 3d of Ootober; State stook to be received at par in payment, as cash. The . proposals ore to stato clearly the work proposed to be -pur chased, the amount offered, and tho terms of payment proposed, in which of the two follow ing modestwenty per cent of the purchase money to be paid in four months after notice given of the acceptance of tho bid, the balance , to be paid in ten equal annual payments, with* interest at five per cent; or ten por cent, of the purchase money to bo paid in four months after notice given of tho acceptance of .the bid, and tho balance in twenty equal annual payments, i at an interest of seven percent—thoßaid mstal i monts to be secured by the delivery of bonds equal in number and amount to the annual instal ments provided for, bearing interest os mention ed in the proposal, nnd the bonds to be secured, by a mortgngo upon tho work so purchased. If tho best bid for tho wholo be an amount suffi cient, at six per cent, interest, to yield nn in oomo equal to four por cent, on tho original cost of constructing tho same, it shall bo at once ac- : cepted; also, if the best bid for a part Bhonld yield a similnr income, it shall be at once ac cepted; provided that, in that case, the. Canal Commissioners shall certify, in writing, to tho Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, that, in their opinion, tho sale of such portion will not inter fere with the efficient nnd profitable working of the remaining portion of the said work A If, in either case, tho bid should not bo sufficient to produce this amount, or the Commissioners de cline to give their opinion, the proposal shall bo laid beforo tho Legislature which shall meet next thereafter, who may make snob provisions to carry into effect such sale as tho bidders and Commissioners may agree upon. Any Railroad or Canal company of this Stnto may offer propo sals nnd beoomo purchasers; and, if necessary, increaßO their capital to any amount, not exceed ing that to bo paid for tho works and twenty per cent in addition. If two or more individuals become purchasers, tho Governor is authorized to incorporate them into a company, subject to those of the provisions of the general Rat'road law of the State which are not inconsistent with this not Upon the purchasers making tho cash payment and delivering bonds for tho balance, the secretary of the Commonwealth ohall trans fer the works purchased to the purchasers, under I the great seal of the Commonwealth. The purchasers may pay off tho principal of ono or more of tho bonds before maturity, with interest nt the prescribed rate, upon giving at least ninety days’ notice to tho Commissioners of the Sinking Fund; and the State may ro ca ter and re-possess tho works eold, upon the pur chasers failing to pay ono or more of said bonds within ninety days after maturity. If the Le gislature bo not m session, the Governor is au thorized to appoint one or more persons to take possession, in tho name of tho Commonwealth. The purchasers are required to keep tho line in good order nnd repair, &c.; and are prohibited from making any discrimination against boats end tonnage passing to and from any nthcr por tions of tho publio works than those they may own, nnd from charging tolls greater than arc for tho time being charged by the Stato upon any •portion of the works it may own. Allcoutraots existing nt the time of their taking possession, and made by tho Stale or ite agents, for com pletion of new work or repair of old, nnd for work and materials to be furnished compomcs nnd individuals, are required to be earned out in good faith by tho purchasers, and nil damages assessed after their taking possession to be paid by tbem. If the Main Lino from I’hiladeipbia to Pittsburgh bo bought by one company, they are authorized to build a road from the western terminus of the Philadelphia and Columbia rood to the Allegheny Portage Railroad, nnd to ex tend it west to Pittsburgh, and incrcaso their capital stock to any necessary amount not ex ceeding the amount paid for their purchase, and twenty per cent, in addition. All moneys re ceived from tho ealo of tho nublio works shall be paid into tbo sinking fund, under tho provisions of the laws relative thereto.

Cheat Fmc in Quebec. — Quebec, Feb. 1,1854. —The Parliament House nnd buildloga nt Quo boo wero entirely destroyed by fire at two o’clock this morning, together with the most of their contents, including a valuable Library. The flamce were not discovered until they had gained too much headway to bo got Under, not. withstanding a sentinel was on duty near the spot. The fire originated in the south of the build ings from tbo furnace. It is believed that port of tho valuable library was saved, bat tbo Historical Society’s library and apparatus wero almost entirely consumed. The manuscripts are all gone, and the Museum was much injured. A part of tho records wore saved. Tho furniture and all the paintings iu tho Council and Assembly chambers were destroyed, but the portraits of tho Queen aud Sir Allan McNab were saved from tho Speaker's ohamber. The dome fell at half past six o’clock this i morning. i Inspector Wells offered Administrator Rowan ! to savo two-thirds of the edifice if bo would blow up the roof; three city councillors opposed to it, and all was consequently destroyed.

During the debate the utmost confusion prevailed: members wero on their feet and all speaking at once in different parts of the House the galleries wero crowded with oager spectators; all sorts of propositions and amendments were mado; and so difficult was it to maintain or re store decorum, that the Speaker was at timos obliged to deolaro a suspension of legislation. Oao gentleman avowed hiß intention of moving to substitute the Nebraska bill of the last session for this measure; aud another—Mr. Dean, of this State—gave notice of an amendment so mo difying the now bill that nothing in it shall be Construed as establishing or legalizing slavery or involuntary sorvitudo in the terntorios named. Mr. English made a minority report, which was ordered to be printed. Tho only material differ ence between this and the majority report is with regard to tho boundaries of the territories.
