Mr, Frailey soid. he thought it belter to retain the notice ul ninety days. It did not affect the merits of ihe bill; but the longer the notice, with reasonable limits, the belter for iho Sta'e. Mr. M'Combs said, ihe question, though comparatively unimportant, yet might affect the Commonwealth to the amount of a few hundred thousand dollars. The longer the works were retained, the heavier the drafts uponthe-Treasury, "•; '\ r ■Mr. Johnson said, but'ofl6‘ party hould be benefited by the diminished notice, and thru was the Pennsylvania railroad company. — The amendment would accrue solely to the benefit'of that company. Mr Strengthen withdrew his amendment. Mr.’ lluliinmb moved to amend tho first section, by inserting after tho word ‘'that" sn the four I line, the words “so much ol,” iand in the same line after the words “public works” the words “as hereitjufler mentioned” so dial the line would read “advertise a no tice, that so much of the main line of the public works as hereinafter mentioned, will be exposed (o pubic sale, tkc." Mr. Flrdcomb said, his object in offering the amendment was to shape the bill so that it would protect the interests o( the upper divis ion of the canal. lie thought those interests would bo endangered, if the canal, from Dun can’s I.'land to Columbia, fell into Ihe hands of a lyranical company. The North Branch division was now about completed, and de served the protcrinn of the Slate. Mr. Strung objected to the proviso of other member from Bradford, (Ur.

The tirs- section of the amendment was then adopted The second section of the amendment was agreed in Mr Strong moved lo amend the third sec tion, bv sinking out all alier Iho word “that,” in Iho twcllih line, and insert “that the Gov. ernor is hereby authorized to grant letters patent, incorporating a compeny under this act, under the name of the Main Line rail, road and canal company, Subject lo all the privileges and rest notions of the general rail road law: Provided, That no bid shall be accented, unless the bidders deposit with the Governor, or si(m« person appointed by him for that purpose, I he sum of $lOO,OOO in cash, op'bondg of the Stale, to* be forfeited If the terms of sale are not complied with,” . iMr. Strong said, 8100,000 might not be so easily raised; -and few-persona would wish to lose the $50,000 which-are required to bade posited. It was not a matter of much conse quence, and he cared little about it. Mfi Thorn-thought $50,000 sufficient, as a forfeit. Mr. M'Calmont wished to give all bidders a fair chance—*big and little—and was disposed to think the stmt originally named, sufficient. Mr. Dunning thought the deposit of $lOO, 000, a liberal offer on the part of the 'Com monwealth; and if bidders can’t afford to raise that sum for a deposit, they can’t afford to buy the works.- After some further'informal remarks from various members, iho amendment was accep ted. Mr, M'Calmhat moved to amend the third soptipo iiy striking out in the first line the words “any railroad, canal or other,” swihtit the line would read, “tjiat it shall be luwfhl for any person or persons, or railroad or ca nal campaqy, &c which was agreed to. Mr. M’Calmont moved to amend to the fourth lino by striking out seeen millions as the minimum price of the main line, and inserling ten Millions. Mr. M’Connell hoped the amendment would.' not prevail. The wnrks'were much out of repair, and would require a large investment to place them -in good working! order. Ile J Ihoughl they would bring abqut nine millions, with the repeal of the tonnage lax of.the Pennsylvania rnilroad.

Ultra as that school is r it was the legitimate off spring of the siavishpess of tho North. And Uiat Mttre band of ullraisls have stood like patriots and martyrs, a fearless advance guard of the great army of freemen. They have sacrificed everything but Truth and Honor to maintain* the cause of the weak against the injustice of the mighty,’ and though the 1 masses will scarcely reach l|ie dxtreme position thal Spartan band has chosen, they will assuredly reach that middle ground where the last great battle for freedom must be fought. Amid nil this opparent confusion, l]ic fierce-con- Icniion of factions and the angry jafring in Church and Slate, there is a broad field of celestial blue Fu. tureward. To the hopeful there is abundant evi dence of “the Good Time Coming.” Tub Bono Free—' T(ie latest slave case, and an Important one, as the claimant is a Christian (?) min ini.slcr, has been decided in favor of Freedom. Tho alleged fugitive was a girl of sixteen years, a chattel of the very Rev. Henry M. Dennison. She was ta ken into Ohio by him, and the Probate Court de clared her free. Two weeks subsequently she was arrested by the U. S. Marshal at the instance of the [lev. master, and carried before the U. S. Commis sioner who confirmed the previous decision and set her free once more. As ihc prosecutor in this case ia a Gospel minister —an "unworthy servant of the Lord,” as ho would express it, (and no pane man will dispute him,) wo are bound lo believe lh.it Christianity south oF M«l. son & Dixon, and the doctrine promulgated by the humble Nazarepe, have nothing in common. We read that he commanded hits disciples to wash one another’s Feel ;■ whereas, the Southern Clergy under stand it lo have been commanded that each should chaUclizc an immortal soul to perform such menial service. No wonder Slavery ia considered a divine institution at the South, since men claiming to be God’tf ministers by precept and example leach men so. So long as they put (he Bible to the bad use of bolstering up Slavery they need not deplore the pro gress of Infidelity. The Mormon can justify polyg. amy by the same authority, bat the slaveholding minister abhors (open) polygamy. Oi course he docs. Ministers must be careful, If they prostitute the Bible lo aid in llic perpetuation of this country’s great curse, they will be responsible for tho reaction that must inavilebly come, when the musses will cut loose from the bibic and its false expounders at one and tiie same lime, and the latter will.sink down to their trite level.
