tAle the STEAMSHIP AFRICA. The Steamer Atlantic Safe, The steamship Afriti, at Jersey City, Mop the joyful intelligence of the safety oir the Atlantic, she 'wing put back to Cork in consequence of derangement of her machinery after being nine clays out. Asusexcd is an account of the accident lathe Atlantic. from Lieut. Situfeldt, one of the officers. The Atlantic left Liverpool on the 28th rihnembar, in fine steaming condition, and without any apprehension on the part of 'kW *Seers in regard to the voyage. It WM blowing a strong gale at the time of detiartarei, from W. S. W., so much so as 40 tender it impossible to land her pilot.-- On the 29th Dec., at 5 30 I'. M., she pass ed Cape Clear, and fairly commenced her bomeword passage by plunging at once into a heavy head sea and stemming strong Masterly gales, which continued without intetmisainn for the time following up to the day of the accident. On the Pith of January, at noon, she was in latitude 45 12. long. 41 W., it blowing strong gales from W. N. W. At 530 P. M., the en gines were stopped, as it was first suppo sed by the engineers on account of the breaking of the eccentric strap to the star board engine—and, on examination, it was determined to go ahead again, working that engine by hand ; hut another revolu tion of the wheels proved that the accident was of a much more serious nature—the main shaft was found broken completely through, (in a diagonal direction,) and bear ing upthe starboard pillar block, and an ad ditional turn after the first stoppage, caus ed one part of the shaft to lap over the other—thus fracturing both pillar blocks, and rendering the engines perfectly use less. The ship was at once hove to under storm canvass, the wheels lashed, and all hands employed during the night, and for the following day, in sending up her square yards, and stripping her wheels of the lioats—a task at once difficult and Elan gerous in a gate of wind, and the decks covered with ice, but fortunately accom plished without accident. On the 7th and Bth laid to, with the hope of an abatement of.the gale and a change of wind, as the captain and all hands were extremely anx ious to meet some port on our own coast. Om the 9th the wind hauled :o the north- west, and became quite moderate. Imme diately made sail, and shaped a course fur Halifax, 897 miles distant, and Now York 1.480. This weather continued-until me wedian the 10114 when an observation placed theship 180 miles south and 70 miles Rest of her position at the time of the ac eldest. A gale now sprung up again hots the southwest, and it became neces sary to heave the ship to. for even with :moderate weather it was evident to all that she'rould do nothing by the wind under canvass. At 8 o'clock A. M., of the llth. large ship passed bound to the eastward.; bet she either did not see or took no no tice of our signal of distress. At 10 o'clock P. M., after taking an ac curate account of stores on board, and con sidering the apparent impossibility of teaching home with the ship in her dim. bled condition, the captain determined, with the assent of his officers and passed gent, to bear up for the coast of Europe— which was accordingly done. From this time to the twenty-second day nothing- of importance occurred. We had following gales and high seas, and the ship made an enrage distance of 150 aides per day. and is that interval ran 1,400 miles. At 3 o'- clock P. M., of the 22d. elm anchored to .Cork harbor, which fact alone, when con sidering the immense size of the ship, her small spars, light canvass. and heavy lush thMery, Witulficieut to prove her a *plead. id aea.boat, and must add, in no small de. gime. to the reputation already acquired by her commander for prudence and seaman= ship. In regard to the conduct of her passen gers under such trying circumstances, too much could scarcely be said. Suffice it that they bore the misfortune with beam ing fortitude and cheerfulness, and testified: en leaving her at Cork, as much sympathy as those who have a more permanent inter mit in the good old Atlantic. The Atlantic bad on board 550 tons of freight, and a con siderable quantity of specie, which the Cambria was chartered to bring over, and probably sailed front Cork on the 4th inst. direct for New York.

Hamar VIEWS or CORWIN'S TARISF Sittralitxtila:—;--The Manchester Titnen-- a paper published in the great manufactu ring-twin of !Manchester, England—is ex eeedingly "put out" about Secretary Cor win's views upon Protection. His late report is denounced in bitter terms. The Times says the report is a astrange docu ment"---aan extravagant piece of special pleading," &c. But who cares for the opinion of the British upon our affairs.— They would hare preferred seeing Mr. Corwin advocate the Tariff of 1846, be cause under it they are derivinggreat ben efit. His policy is calculated to increase the producing and consuming power of the United States for pur own mines, build ing and running our own mills, foster ing-our own industry, and adding to our own wealth ; instead of exhausting our faculties in adding to the wealth of the (*tiers, and iron -masters, and farmerv, and manufacturers three thousand miles dis tant, The result show that, under pro tective legialation, we produce more, im port and export more, than under any proximate system of free-trade ; and in exorable faetatiemonstrite, in the teeth of all'the theories of recent British econo mists, that the systim which Mr. Corwin advocates is 'the system which promotes our national prosperity and augments our national power.

ANOTHER ARREST OF A rucaTivE . tiI.AVE. Riot, and Rescue of tk Fugitive BOSTON. --Feb. 15.-- De pu ty Marshal Riley, and assistants, arrested at Corn Hill Coffee House, to-day, ono Frederick Wil kins, a negro waiter, on a warrant issued by the U. States Commissioner, G. T. Curtis, on a complaint that said Wilkins is a fugitive slave. He was taken with no opposition, and carried immediately to die U. S. Court room. The news "of the arrest spread rapidly, and the Court room was speedily filled by a large crowd of rather excited spectators. The examination, however, went off quietly. Seth J. Thomas, appeared for the claimant, and Messrs. Small, Elias Grey, Loring, and others, for the defence From the documents offered by the claimant,, it appeared the; the accused was the property of, John Hebrew,Purser in the United States Navy, of Virginia, and that hassoapati in May. 1850. The de position was to the effect that the claim ant had seen the prisoner in Boston and conversed with ,hint, when the prisoner acknowledged that he bed escaped from Norfolk. The oatmeal for the defendant asked for a postponement in order to pre pare testimony. This was granted, and ruesday next. 10, A. M., was assigned for the examination. The Deputy Marshal then ordered the room to be cleared of spectators, which was gradually done. The prisoner re mained in the cusaxly of a dozen of men. as, by a law of the State. the jail cannot be used to imprison fugitive Slaves. His counsel wishing to consult with him, they were readily admitted to the room to the number of half a dozen.-- They remained about an hour. and in the mean time a large !settled of names gath ered upon the outaide."ltlocking up the en trance to the Court room; and as the door was opened to let the last lawyer leave the room, the nto4 -without- suddenly rushed in, seized awl knocked down the officers in keeping, and ftlled the Court room.— The promoter himself was frightened at their demoniac appearance, and fled, with a cry of murder, to the farther end of the room. — lto was, however, secured by the mob. who speedily silenc - ed the opposition of the few officers in the room, and took him in triumph down the stairs, and into the street. The officers did not attempt to follow, and with shouts of triumph the mob hurried off with the fugitive, and were last seen in the vicinity of Belknap street, where negroes chiefly congregate. While the mob was in the court room, the sword of the.hlarshal. hanging in the sheath over his desk, was drawn by one of them and flourished over the heads of the officers. It was afterwards found in the street. The mob showed no weap ons, though a number of the negroes boast ed of having revolvers in their possession. One negro, in his flight, dropped his knife. There were several white persons in the mob, but they Aid not appear to act in the rescue. The rescue. of course caus ed great excitement throughout the city, as one of the most daring outrages upon law and order ever enacted. It is thought impossible to re-arrest the fugitive, as his friends have, no doubt, hurried him off, ere this, to the Canadian frontier. THE AFFAIR AT BCHITON.—The state ment_ef P. Riley, Chief United States Deputy Marshal, at the head of affairs in the absence of Mr. Stevens, appears in the Boston papers, of Monday, in regard to the rescue of the fugitive slave Williams, Or Shadracta, there, on Saturday, by a black mob. He states that he applied to Commodore Downy fur leave to place the prisoner at the navy-yard, but the commo dore declined to take the responsibility.— He also applied to the mayot and city marshal for aid to keep the prisoner, but received none. No knowledge of the whereabouts of the fugitive has yet been obtained. He is supposed to be on his way to Canada via Burlington, The op posers of the law in Boston are highly de lighted, and say that it cannot be executed in Massachusetts—on the contrary, many others say that it shall be executed at all hazards. Mr. E. H. Wright, the late editor of the Abolition Chrouotype, and cow, we believe, one of the editors of the Free-soil Commonwealth, with a Mr. C. G. Davis, who is a 'justice of the peace' and a law yer. have been arrested and 'placed under heavy bonds fur their participation in the rescue. EXTRAORDISAIKV Fauritarv.--Tl7iear. —Biehop Holliday. residing in . Utah Ter ritory, on South Cottonwood Creek, about ten miles south of the Great Salt Lake Ci ty, raised. from one bushel sowing, one hundred and eighty bushels of the choi cest and cleanest wheat, measured up, and it weighed full sixty pounds to the bush el. This bushel was sowed in drills up on three or four acres of ground and sea sonably irrigated. The same gentleman informed us that his wheat was betd§r this last season that it was the year previous, and be felt confident that a portion of his last crop-would produce two. hundred bush els from one bushel sowing, though not then threshed out. That is truly a great country for wheat, but it requires much labor and attention during the season of irrigation; and connected with this opera tion there are many little things to be ob served, or you will ruin your crop. Ev ery new settler can learn them all from the experience of those who were there before him. No country that we ever sal can equal it for vines, and vegetables of all kinds. Melons in great abuudance are produced there, of the largest size and richest quidity, that we, ever saw. It is not natural for lodise corn, yet it is grown them, and the land has been made .to pro dues filly buabels to the acre, though this is an uncommon yield. Farmers begin to . sow wheat there in August, and continue to sow every month, and perhaps every week; when frost does not prevent, until the next lone; and a bout the 20th of June they begin to har vest, and continue harvesting their wheat until the following November. We lei there on the let of October, and the vines were all as green as summer, and many pieces of wheat were not harvested, but were just turning white ; and we said, burely, this is the country where "the plowmen overtake the reapers." In this country, when wheat is ripe, it has to be harvested or the crop is lost.— Nut so there. h may stand in the field a month after it is ripe, and take no harm. Ir is a different sort of wheat from ours.— When early wheat is harvested in that country, by irrigating the stubble-ground, second growth springs out from the roots of the stubble and and nut front t seed, and often comae to maturity the same year. , This is *Wally the case with oats. Guardian., FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM CALIFOE Nr.W ORLEANS, Feb. 14.—11 y the steam er Mexico, arrived here, we have fifteen days later news tiara California. She brings dates from San'Francisco to the 15th January. The general news possess no special importance beyond what we have had by previous dates. The.country was qu'et, and outrages, robberies, murders, Sco., leas frequent. The Legislature assembled on the 7th of January. The Governor's message has been delivered. It is a straight for ward, sensible document, and is well spo- ken of generally. " • There is no election yet of U. States Senator. It is the subject of much spec ulation. The chances are in favor of elect ing a democrat, though Col. Fremont can not get the office. Mr. Wethered is much talked of among the Whip. Business generally has been prosper ous. Motley' operations continue with seasonable prosperity. Healthfulness generally prevails. The cholera has entirely disappeared. Frailties of all kind. continues abundant and the tenJency of prices is in favor of buyers for flour, provisions and groceries, as of almost everything else. e The ships Governor Davis and Martha Theresa, of Baltimore, have arrived at San Francisco. Tim GUANO TRALIB.—A letter from the Chiuch Guano Islands, on die coast of Peru, dated November 20th says that there were then a huge fleet of vessels there, loading principally for England, but some few were up for the United States. The Guano is mostly taken from the north island, the southern one remaining untouched, and there are said to be on the three islands thirty millions of tons of guano. .It is thirty feet in depth. The otter says : At different points on the island are shoots or tunnels made of heavy canvas, about thnierfect In diameter and fifty or rizty feet in length, reaching from the top of the island to the water, under which the boats are placed to receive the guano, and as it runs down with considerable ve locity, they are soon despatched. About one thousand Chinese laborers are employed, poorly paid and miserably fed; and as they have previously contract ed for a term of years, their usage is so hard that they sometimes commit suicide. Many are chained to wheelwarrows to prevent their escape. CoNvicrioN or Goonoe Pnsaosit.—On Saturday last, the jury in the case of the Coinmunwealth vs. Geo. Pharoala. in dicted for the murder of Rachel Sharp less, near Westchester, on the 28th day of September last, rendered a verdict of "guilty_oftputtler in the Ist degree." The trialecuntnenced at Westchester on Tuesday last, Pcb. 4th, and closed on Saturday evening ghoul 7 o'clock. The jury were absent about 21 hours, when they rendered a verdict as above stated. This George Photon!' is a nephew of Jabez Boyd. who was convicted and hung for the murder of Wesley Patton, in Ches ter county, some five or six years ago.— We learn that sibco the conviction of Pha raoh, he has made a full confession of the murder, to the keeper and one of the in spectors of the prison. He says his mo tive was to get her watch, and that she saw him firs the gun, which was discharg ged from the hip, and not from his should er. He says he was near to her. She spoke to him and hurried to open the door —he fired—he heard the boys coming, which was the reason he did not take the watch. PRESIDENTIAL TEMPERANCE PLEDOE. —A. Temperance Society of New York city are preparing a block for the Wash ington Monument which will contain the following inscription, being the temper ance declaration subscribed to by eight Presidents of the United States. It will be pla?.eil in the structure in such a man ner as to allow the succeeding Presidents to add their names should they see fit to do so. The declaration as it now stands was prepared before the total abstinence pledge was adopted : "Being satisfied from observation and experience, as well as from medical testi mony, that ardent spirits as a drink is not only needless, but hurtful, and that the en tire disuse of it would tend to pro:note :he health, the virtue and the happiness of the community, we hereby express our con viction that, should the citizens of the U nited States, and especially the young men.discontinue entirely the use of it, they would not only Fromote their own person al benefit, but the good of our country and the world. ..(Signed)--Jes. Madison, Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, M. Van Huron, John Tyler, James K. Polk, Z. Taylor, Millard Fillmore." ALBANY, Feb. l4.—The trial of the al leged robbers of the Albany post office has been brought to a close. Gaylord's cue was given to the jury at noon. A bout 4 o'clock they came in with a ver dict of guilty. Judge Conckling senten ced Pemberton, who turned States' evi dence, to two years imprisonment; Brant hall, who was previously convicted, eight years ; and Gaylord eight years. These trials have occupied the U. S. Court near ly three weeks, and will cost the govern ment not less than $lO,OOO. HORRIBLE HICATRIP.--The Plymouth (N. C.) News gives an account of the death of a man named Edwards. his wife and an Interesting child aged about four veers. Edwards lived about two miles Wow Plymouth and it appears that on Saturday evening last, he and his wife re turned home under the induence,of liquor and while in that condition, by pouts means or other, they set the'house on lire, and the husband. wife and child perished in the dames. PRAYER VOA COLLSOM—Ths last Thursday in February has long been ob served by many churches tut a day of fast ing and prayer for the colleges and liter ary institutions of the country. So im portant is this season of P pee ia 1 remem brance of our colleges regarded, that a cir cular has been issued this year, signed by the officers of thirty-three American col leges, in every part of our country, and of various religious denominations, calling the special attention of the churches, to the subject. Einocango.'—'l'he dwelling of a Mn. Swindell, near Macon, Ga., was destroy ed by fire lately, and she and four child ren perished in the flames. It is suppo sed that in a fit of temporary insanity, elm murdered her children and fired the house. Tun CENsus.—The census recently ta ken will exhibit a gratifying state of things to the people of Pennsylvania. New York has gained in the last ton years at the rate of 27i per cent, only, while our State has advanced at the rate of 341 per cent in the same time. Philadelphia also indicates a good hope that she will resume bet:old position, as the first city in the !O nion. By the census of 1840, New York had a population of 312,710, while Phil adelphia had only 93,885—thus leaving an excess of 219,045 to her rival. By the late census, however, a material change in their numerical strength appears. N. York has now 515,394, and Philadelphia 509,045—thus reducing the difference to 108,349 t and it is quite probable that, it may he much less.. There appears to be something very singular in the dispro portion between the number of dwelling houses, and the inhabitants that occupy them, in the two cities. In New York, i ?i there are only 31,730 dwellings to acco -rs modate 515,394 peons ; which wo d be 1811 to a house. Philadelphia has 6 .- 202 dwellings to accommalate 409,045 persons, which would be only 8} to a house. Philadelphia city has 23,472 hou ses more than her neighbor, and yet has 108,349 fewer inhabitants F 'REX TRADE IN GREAT BEITAIN,-.-4 Correspondent of the National haelligen cer observes:— According to the tables seem:itling the Report of the Secretary of the, l 'reae. my, the exports of tobacco for the year ending July 1, 1850, amounted to 101,501 hogsheads, valued at 95,804,207. Of these 21,947 hogsheads were exported vti Great Britain, die value of which is put down at $1,771,000. The duty in Great Britain being three shillings sterling per pound, or about $BOO per hogshead, that country collected and will collect, when the whole is taken out of bond for consump tion, 917,557,000, which sum is about the annual revenue the kingdom derives from the duty levied on a portion of the pro ducts of some half dozen of of the States in this Union. This is free trade in Great Britain ! And wo reciprocate it by permitting her Co flood the country with her goods at the expense of our own industrial pursuits. PHILADIELPRIA DISTRICT ATTORNIZT.- The contested Election case is now pro gressing in Philadelphia, and exhibits .frauds of the most astounding character. It is now evident that W. B. Reed was e lected by the people, and a fraudulent re turn made from from Moyamensing dis trict, giving the certtfieate to Hon. R. Encase. Many persons who did not re side in the Ward, and whose names ap pear un the tally list as having voted, swear that they did not vote at the election, and many were absent from the ward. More voters than the whole number returned for Reed in the 2d Ward, have already sworn that they voted for Reed. Locolocoism does not stop at trifles in pursuit of plun der. COST OF OUR ARMY.—In the last 65 years, it is estimated, on the authority of official documents, that our military es tablishments have subjected us to an ex pense of at least $050,000,000. TIIR NEW YORK LAW Or MARRIAGE. —Judge Daily. in a recent divorce case, has decided that, if a husband absents him self from his wife and is gone for the space of five years, without his wife know ing or hearing as to where ho is, she is at liberty to marry again. Should the hus band, however, return at any time after the wife has thus been married again, he has a right to appeal to the proper Court and demand and receive her again as his wile ; but until such demand and a decree has been made to that effect by the Court the second marriage is valid, and the children, if any under it, legitimate. If after the decree has been made, the parties of the said second marriage continue still to live together, they do so contrary to the sanc tion of law, and their children, henceforth, if they have any will not be legitimate.

And in this view we regret as sincerely en any one this last out break at Boston. But we cannot exactly appreciate the consistency of those who, but o few weeks since, boldly approbated the law less doings of a reckless mob in Faneuil Hall in their efforts to silence agitation in favor of Free dom, and now turn round end denounce with so much bitterness the lawless doings of another mob in the attempt to rescue a fallow being from slavery. it is all wrong ; bat if there were any distinction in the morality of crime, and we were compelled to plead an extenuation of either of these mobs, we should certainly not select that which directed its batteries against Freedom.

It will hardly get much further however.--- - The hill relative to the publication of the 'Tenn. trylsnia Annals' has become a law. The bill to repeal all laws exempting certain property from taxation, has parsed second reading in the House, and will pass finally. The resolutions offered by Mr. Mohlenherg. in the Senate, approving of the Several Compromise acts, plumed to second read ied and were postponed. A motion to postpone indefinitely was lost—yeas 11, nay, 19. The bill incorporating the Linkstown Mutual Tnsurance Company ham passed both houses ; the bill incorporating the Union Beneficial Society of Oxford, the lower house.

We notice that the resolutions of the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania, In favor of granting to the soldiers and sailors who served in the last war with Groat Britain and in the Indian wars, the same quantity of bounty land as was allowed to those who served in the way with Merino, have been presented to the Senate by Mr. Cooper. and to the House by Mr. Stevens. In both bodies they were referred to the Committee on Military Af fairs. On Monday lad. the Senate spent the day In a learned dismission upon the mission of Satan to the Garden of Eden, and the consideration of the question whether the Devil was an agitator or not—and if so, what kind. Mr. Hamlin bad presented a memorial praying for a modification of the Fugitive Slave Law, and moved its refer ranee to the Judiciary Committee. No objection being made the memorial was so referred. Some of the Southern Senators, however, subsequently thought the memorial had been treated with too much courteery, and moved to' reconsider its re ference. On this motion a debate 'prong up. and se parts of it are somewhat interesting. we copy the annexed report of what was said from the Philadelphia Ledger : Mr. Seward said that the Senate re cord. showed that the petitions to make slavery laws more stringent are received and referred. This bill to make the fugi tive slave law more vigorous, is also refer red ; and petitions asking for modifications in the fugitive slave law, and to make it leas vigodros. are refused a referrence.— When the Senator from Pennsylvania presents such petitions they are received and referred, while petitions sidle time kind hie Senator from New York, ire laid upon the table.

He had never introduced any, auhjec t to produce agitation. He'contented trWiseg with debating on bills legitimately befoee the Senate. He had never addressed the people by speeches or letters since the passage of the bill, with the object 9f pro ducing agitation. Hewes content to leave the subject to the people ; bet when the people petienctl, their patina& should be considered. Mr. Bradbury *Aid it was not n particle of difference whether the petition was re- Awed or not. Petitions presented by 1121.. Cooper were now before the Com mittee, and also Mr. Bright's bill, and the' Committee had not considered the subj.:it:4 and had etwne . to thecottedipticto i that legilt Itition op the Subject, was wholly uti6eas-' ,nary.. geAnoved to lay the %Mit"' to, re consider on the table, but afterwards with- , Mr. Hader telmsidered the acts of the last sewslion as temporary obstacles only in the way of the stream of fanaticism...— He hadsait! el the laul t sesaiutt,aod, now, that he would have nothing totlo with the subject tend if petitions were sent to the committee he declared he would bare nothing to do with them, ono . way or the other. He would dit nothing to resist the reception or reference of any petition or bill, for you might es well attempt to peed. fy a maniac by singing the lullaby, as to attempt by connuieeicuLto_eatiefta fana tic. Mr. Hale said the fugitive shire bill had workings very various in various sections. Under it a slave was returned to his mas ter in New York ;. in Philadelphiaa free man was kidnapped and seat to slavery— he was returned, • however I in Boston, the bill was worked so as to enable a mob to take an alleged fugitive from the court house. There was little conformity iii the operations of the bill. He was'for the repeal of the fugitive AZT law. He cared little for the agitation here. He would go before the people. at. home, and agitate there, which was the surest place. He was an,agitator ; he shrunk from none of the imputations implied in the epithet of agitator-L.-he gloried in being en agitator. All the great events hi .the progress of hu man liberty were achieved by agitators. O'Connell was an agitator. Men of the Revolution were agitators. Agitation was the element of life to the State. If-there was no agitalum, _the State would sinkin. to the fasted pool of corruption. There is no purity without agitation—the pool of Bethstella becanfe stagnant Ilnd impure tin. tit it was agitated by an angel from heaven. lie hoped agitation would never cease. Mr. Berrien was sorry that Mr. Hale, in advising the adjournment of agitation speeches from the Senate to the stump, had not himself let the example. The petition was formed of several pieces of paper, containing signatures, stuck togeth. or, at the head of the all was printed the petition to which others were pasted.- • The petitioe sent forth' that Congress had passed an unconstitutional law. violative' Of just principles; that it was tio odious that that they' could not sustain it, and! wore unwilling to abide its penalties. He had no doubt of .the respectability of the persons whose names were attached to the petition ; and because lie believed they were respectable, he did not believe they signed this petition. Mr. Foote replied to Mr. Hale, lie l'idlaTiii — the Herald an account of the mob in Boston, and after an interview with the Secretary of State, was free to declare, hating authority to dose. that the government intended to do its duty, and that the fugitive slave law would be enfor ced strcneously and vigorously. ' Mr. Cooper, was opposed,to agitation. He believed the majority of the people of Pennsylvania were in favor of carrying into execution the laws, particularly the laws of last session, including the Fu gitive Slave Law. lle would vote a gainst the reconsideration, because peti tions of the ORM° kind, presented by him, some time ago, had been referred, and be cause he believed that if petitions on the subject of slavery were treated as all oth er petitions were, the cause for agitation by the North would be removed. Mr. Hamlin read a letter staling that the petition had been signed by all Mote whose names were attached to it. Mr. Pearce said Mr. Hale had made charge of kidnapping in the Philadelphia case. Kidnapping had a peculiar and le. gal signification. He knew all the parties ....knew this co;nmissioner, who was an eminent lawyer, and was a matt of honor, against whom the charge of kidnapping was idle, It was one of those cases of mistake in identity, Which doily occurred iu criminal cases. The alleged slave was returned, and that showed how groundless were the intimations that Kidnapping would result from the bill. The Senator (Hale) also glorified in the name of agita tor—he abhorred it, and thought the Sen ator. had made a great discovery in declar ing that agitation was an element. He thought lie was unfortunate in likening his agitation to that agitation which disturbed the pool by the gentle Heavenly influence. All knew who was the first agitator—it was he who entered Paradise and corrupt ed the heart of the first woman. None can tell who will be the Lastagitatin, but most of us can judge of the character of souse of the successors of the first.— [Laughter.] Mr. Khali asked Mr. Cooper if lie un derstood him to say that Pennsylvania was satisfied with the fugitive slave law, .and Awhetiagthe.latis obstructing, the act of 'Oh histibeen, repeaded.. . • • , Mr. Cuopefesid that the • majority of his constituents were is flever of mem-, ting the law. The legielative actispoken n 'Of had ,t beau ittitc4ed, because of local politieli, ant nticesestry, to be explained.
