It will k seen that this ar ray of mimes presents i representation of shut* every shade of ntagonistio policy which the Deumersoy,inrieg the Presi dential campaign, manned to bring to the support of their candidata.

The conclusion of the matter it that the mate rial which is to compose Gen. Perm's Ca binet is about as doubtful as it eta months ago, and the doubt may nit be removed for a month or two to come.

The resolution 'was introduced by Mr. Kunkel, and after re citing in a preamble that it had not been the practice of the Executive Department to surrender alleged fugitives from justice charged 'with offeemee got iresognised by the laws of this Commonwealth, requested the Governor to communicate to the Be-1 uate copies of the papers relatiug to the case, together with his reasous for comply ing with the requisition. After a debate of some length, the Senate by a vote of 18 to 14 struck out that part of the pre amble which stated that it had not been the ensitim of the Government to deliver up fugitives charged with offences not re cognised in Pe'nnsylvania, and the resolu tion was then agreed to by a vote of 21 to 11. In the course of the debate Mr. Evans stated that Gov. Bigler had informed him that the theta bad not been properly rep resented at first, and that u soon u he ascertained the error he had telegraphed to Philadelphia and countermanded his war rant of arrest. The Governor also said that he intended to make an explanation of the matter to the Governor of Mary land. SiirA communication from the Auditor General was .received in the Senate on Monday, in reply to a recent reaohttion of that body asking to be informed whether the several .banks of the Coturoottirealth had complied with the provisions of the act of 1850, which requires them to keep their notes at par in the cities of Philadel phia and Pittsburg. By the 4th section of the general banking law, all banks lo cated east of the Alleghenies are compell ed to keep their notes at par in Philadel phia, and those west of the mountains in Pittsburg, under a penalty of two mills per annum on every dollar of the average a mount of their circulation during the pre ceecling year. The Auditor General states in his communication that no returns have been received under the provisions of that section, from any except the Harrisburg Bank. That institutioulas_ neglected to keep its notes at par in Philadelphia, and has paid the forfeiture, which in this ease 'mounted to $5OO. It is presumed that moat of the Banks in the State have failed to comply with the law, although no reports have been received from them on the sub ject.

A lad some 19 or 14 years of age, reared by a gentleman in New York, has within a few weeks been recovered from Slavery in Louisiana. Being on a visit to Washington a year or more sines, he was seized by some her pies, sold to a Blare-trader and hurried off to the South, his friends for a long time not knowing of his whereabouts. After, unceasing undearors upon the part•of a le gal agent of the State of New York, the boy was traced from place to place, until finally he was found on a plantation on Red River. Louisiana. having suffered hardships incredible to those not familiar with the brutalizing tendencies of the Slave Institution. Hie freedom being proven, he was recovered, and taken back to Washington, where legal proceedings were commenced against the villains who had sold him into Slavery. The ease came up a few days ago, bat the boy's ev idence being necessary to sustain the Pre elocution. and the Slave laws not allowing a colored person to testify against whites, the case was dismissed, and the kidnap pers go ..scou free." Another cue has turned op in Phila. dolphin within a day or two, which has created a good deal of excitement. A free colored man residing in that city was an , rested last week by virtue of a requisition made upon the Governor of this State by the Governor of Maryland, on the serious charge of having enticed his own wife and children to escape from slavery ! The Philadelphia Sun states the circumstances of ibis enormous crime as follows: Neal married, some sixteen years sco, a slave of Capt. Mayo, of Anne Arundel Co.. Maryland. A few years after Neal became free, worked a farm for Mayo, and accumulated some money. Desiring to move to this city, and wishing to bring his family with him. he sought their removal, but was foiled in the attempt ; they were recaptured, though he escaped, and since then has resided in this city. The wife and children for the fault of the husband and father were sold, when Neal went af ter them, purchased his own flesh and blood, and brought them all to this city, where they have since been living happily and working industriously. It appears that lately another freeman of color was taken up in Maryland for trying to entice away his wile, and this seems to have in. duced Capt. Mayo to revive the almost forgotten charge against Neal, and procure a requisition for him upon the charge of attempting to entice away his wife and I children at a period antecedent to their having obtained their freedom. Now, it is very certain that the offence of which Neal was accused is not a crime by the laws of Pennsylvania. If it be one in Maryland, it must be by force of the local statute, not by the common law.— Such, if we mistake not, was the princi ple adopted by Gov. Shunk, and Gower nor Johnston certainly acted upon it.— But Gov. Bigler, anxious to gratify his Maryland neighbors, at once allowed the requisition in this State and gave his au thority for the arrest of Neal. who was taken and whipped off towards Baltimore, before his Bien& found out that he was in the grip of the man-stealersY As they just missed the ears, however, two writs of Habeas Corpus were taken out, and the party followed to Chester, when, after something of a row. the Marylanders gave up their man. and be was taken back to Philadelphia. The matter came up in the Supreme Court on Thursday last, but there being no return to the writ. watt put off until Friday. On Thursday evening Capt. Mayo left Philadelphia—it was said, to take command of the African squadron. The officers who served the habeas Cor pus made a return that Neal bad been gir en up to them by Mayo and the Maryland officer, neither of whom appeared nor made a return. As then there seemed to be no claimant for the prisoner, the only way appeared to be to discharge him. The Court, however, ordered the priso- ner to continue in the custody of the May. or until Monday, when, no deinanA being Made for him, be was set at liberty. The Philadelphia News, a paper which has been distinguished for its support of Fugitive Slave Law, comments strongly upon the proceedings in this ease in an at+ els from which we take the annexed par• graph 4 Truly this is a senior case, end one which calls for an investigation.

This ease is of a kind thienblial l ta ingender feelings of hostility between the people of Penpsylvanis and of Maryland, or any other of the slave holding States, and to induce them to look , with auspicion upon every claim made for a fugitive from labor, or from justice. under circumstances similar to the above., Unlesa the most implicit observance of the laws is shown by the South, and no act of oppres ' attempted, they cannot expect Irom the North that strict regard for their rights which, under other circumstan ces. they would be entitled to, and would unquestionably receive. 1 ' Visit turns out that the only evidence to givr)eolor to the charge againtt Neal was - . , iiiitrenifirof MileraiiiiVir POP' /OW the alleged crime i And yet, iotOdloas4, latterly worthless nailer Ma l/mid lawii, Gov.

BISHOP O'CONNOR AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.—Bishop O'Connor, of Pittsburg, publishes a long letter in the 1 Journal of that city, addressed to Oovern ['nor Bigler, expressing the dissatisfaction of himself and the mamba" of his church at the present flee school aysteth of that oily and State. He sap ;—" We feel it.a duty to bring more religious cad to bear on our children, than can fie' done on Sundays alone ; and as the school is found necessary to aid the parent) or supply his deficiency in preparing the child for his station in the world, we deem it neces sary to prepare him there to fulfill the du ties of the cbristian. In the public schools, as now formed, this important part of edu cation is either attended to in a manner which we condemn, or, what is nearly as bad, it is left without any attention what ever. Hence our dissatisfaction." OCEAN TELEGRAPII.—A projeet has been formed for constructing r subma rine telegraph between Great Britain and the United States. It is proposed to com mence at the most narthwardly point of Scotland, run thence to the Orkney Islands, and thence by short water lines to the Shetland and Faeroe. Thence, a water line of 200 to 800 miles conducts the tele graph to Iceland ; from the Western coast of Iceland a submarine line conveyea it to Kioge Bay, on the eastern coast of Green land ; it then wows Greenland to Julia na's Hope, on the Western coast of that continent., in 60 deg. 42 min., and is con ducted thence by a water line of about 50 miles; across Davia's Straka to Byren's Bay on the coast of Labrador. From this point the line is to be extended to Quebec. The entire length of the line is estimated at 2500 miles, and the subma rine portions of it at from 14 to 1600 miles. APPLICATION FOR RELIEF.— Castner Hanway, now a resident of Ken nett Square, Cheater county, Pa.,. has ap plied for relief from Congress, through Joshua It. Giddlags, from the expenses occasioned him by the Christiana Treason Trial in which he was charged as an insti gator of Treason spinet the Government in resisting the laws of the United States. It will be recollected that ho was tried be fore the proper tribunal,, in Philadelphia, about a year sinte r and. acquitted of the charge, but left penniless. INFANTILE MURDER.—Aa orphan boy, six years old, tram murdered on Satur day !lieu, at Randall's Islatu4 by two of hie room mates—boys only 80%4311 years of ago. Another boy, who slept ism the same room, saw the outrage committed. They first struck the boy with a club,. is his bed —then drew him out on the piazza, and after again beating him, left' him to die in the Gold. What horrible depravity is here disclosed iu the infantile mind ! THE DEATH PENALTY IN MAS SACHUSETTS.—Last year a law was passed by the Legislature, to the effect that a person found guilty of murder, or any other crime, the penalty of wbioh is death,. should be kept in the State prison one year, at the expiration of which time, the executive could issue a warrant for execu tion. The Senate, on the 27th ultimo, passed to a third reading, an set to repeal the law, by a vote of S 2 to 6. 117" A very stringent bill has been in troduced into the Rhode Island Rouse of Representatives—it makes manufacturers or sellers of spirituous liquors, unless town agents, liable for the first offence to fine and costs and three months imprisonment in the county jail, and, on further convic tion for the mote offence, to imprisonment for six months. For adulterating liquors, so as to render them more injurious, a per son is liable to a fine of $lOO, and impris onment for one year at least. Complaints are to be on oath, and search warrants are to be issued by justices of the peace. 11:7"liev.

Atter some further discussion, the conven Lion adjourned AFTERNOON SESSION The convention met and was called to order by the President. Mr. Cocos AM Chairman of the Business Committee, submiued the fol lowing Preamble and Resolutions : WHIRICAS, the construction of a rail road between the towns of York and Gettysburg has been loog contempla ted, but postponed by the intervention of unfavorable eircurnstaticee, until now it has become necessary to determine either that site work should be done or abandon ed:entirely :—and whereas, .this route must now be adopted. or the county of Adattes. so tong excluded from the benefit of modern. improved modes of access to market, will, in a commendable pitreuit of its own interviste and welfare, adopt anoth er. though lees favorable, direction for a railroad which her citizens are determin ed to make, unless prompt and efficient measures be at since adopted to insure the completion of the road first mentined.— Pherefore, it is by this Convention Resolved, That a route connecting Get tysburg with York is the most favorable direction for a Railroad to pursue, as giv. tag to the people of Adams county at this polio direct connections, towards the north, leading by the State Capitol through the vast coal and lumber regions of Pennsyl vania. and terminating only at the great lakes—towards the east,. conducting them to Philadelphia amid the extended routes of trade and travel beyond, and towards the South, giving them immediate pm• sage to Baltimore, enabling them thus to supply themselves with every thing that they need to purchase, and at the same time to find the best markets for all that they have to sell, with ample opportunity to select those which are most advent/6 genus, at the most reduced prices of trans portation. Resolved, That by the building of this road, a larze area of country will be open ed to market, which has been compelled heretofore to seek purchasers for its pro duce at an expense far exceeding that en. countered by regions which were enabled to avail themselves of the contrivances of modern art and skill, and has therefore been depressed in its enterprise and re. ceived inadequate rewards for its industry; but should this road tie built, improve. menu would quioklv epring up—the soil be fertilised--the ippeductiveness of the lands be greatly increased, and the rapidly accumulating.berdneese afforded to the road would swell its revenues and render it as profitable to its 'shareholders as it would be beneficial, to .the general interests of the etilnotunity. Resole*. That the construction of the !injected road from York to Gettysburg as of met impommee to York in that it will open up toot as a mart and centre of trade, the wholelegion of the valley Of Adams, 'of the southern valley of Franklin_ t fnd the borders of . Washington and Frederick .counties. Maryland, with the products of themmunteins that traverse those regions, and-will..by a practicable, short and easy extension, afford a connection with the il)fi Ohio Railroad, with the immense trade which will pour in from atm Wrtwerd—and a enonomicat with I ..he 4 4 in Sof soalhani Rail Roods from •inaaparl .
