Loomis, Beg This gentleman is, moat assuredly, attracting considerable attention, here and elsewhere, as a proper person to have a seat in General Taylor's cabinet. It gives us much pleasure to observe that the great abilities and high character of this gentleman are becoming more generally known and more justly appreciated. His high sense of honor, and retiring modesty, have led him to shun, rather than court notoriety, and hence his merits have not been generally known beyond the imme diate circle of his acquaintance. From an acquaio. tance, the commencement of which dates back more than twenty years, we say most unhesitating ly, that should he be called to fill any of the high places in the Government, whether on the bench or in the cabinet, he will be an honor to the coun try, and will fill up the full measure of what the people expect in an able and incorruptible nubile officer. The Cillowmg mimmunicatisn, recommending Loomis tie Attorney General, speaks of him in terms which will• be endorsed by the whole Win inanity: HON. A. W. LOOMIS. Mn. Enrroa— I have been mach gratified to learn that the name of A. W. Loomis has been mentioned in Donne:ion with the office of Attorney General, in the Cabinet of General Taylor, and farther, that it is not limited to this vicinity, but is agitated, quite generally, in Ohio, in Washington City, and m ma ny pane of our own State—even in the East. where other names have been announced for a like ho nor. The selection of Mr. Loomis would, it seems to me, be peculiarly fortunate, not only because it would be hailed with delight wherever he in Liman:whet because of his eminent fitness for the office, as au able jurist, a finished scholar, and a sound Whig; unexceptionable in character, and untainted by any connection with intrigue, faction, or cabal lu his person, all who know him would delight to see the Keystone honored, his mime being a gua rantee for ability, dignity, uprightness, and honor I know no man in community, whose appointment would be more gratifying to all parties; and lonely the man who elicited the tribute from Henry Clint. that ' he was one of the most eloquent men he had ever heard,' deserves distinguished consideration at :be hands of White. I have long hoped for the selection of Mr. Loot is for the seat above mentioned, and am glad to find the movement in his favor so much more cc• tensive than I supposed, and lace the avalanche-- Vim arquirit roach. • A WHIG. SLAVERY IN NEW TNIELIUTOBIES I NEPOETAXT ISOCIMODIGI 121 001.101135. On Tuesday last the following interesting pro eeedings tool• place in Congress in reference to i b new Territories, and the question of Slavery: IN SENATE Mr. Benton rose and presented a petition, receiv. ed by himself and the Senator from Delaware, (Mr Clayton,)from a Convention of the people of Nea Mexico, signed by the President and Secretary of that Convention, and dated Santa Fe. Nov. 14, 1818, addressed to the Congress of the U. States. and praying that a territorial government, purely civil in its character, may be provided for them. The petitioners state that the laws in force in Sep. tember, 1546, would be acceptable to them—pro test agaiu.st dismemberment, in favor of Texas, or in any other manner—and express their opposi tion to the introduction of slavery. They conclude with the remark, that as the territory now coo. loins from 75,000 to 100,000 inhabitants, they trust that their prayer may not be deemed unres. sociable. IA printed copy of the laws referred to accompany the memorial.] Mr. Benton moved that the petition, be referred to the Territorial Committee, and printed. Mr. Clayton said that as he -had labored at the last session to give a civil government to the new territories, he should do the same at the present, and he cordially concurred in the reference pro posed by the Senator from Miasouri. Mr. Calhoun rose to express no opposition to the referonci.—but to protest against the mural character of the application, from the people of a conquered territory, the property alike of every portion of the United States. Mr. Benton said that when the application of those for whom he acted was thus pronounced in solent, he deemed it his duty to rise and Machina for them any thing of the kind. Mr. Calhoun replied, it was not at all strange that the Senator from Missouri should view the subject as he does, and that he (Mr. C.) should also view it differently. He (Mr. C.) considered the territory of New Mexico so belonging to the U. States, and therefore the common porperty of all the States Mr. Rusk made no objection to the reference, and deemed it proper that civil governments should be established in the new territories; but at the same time he mast enter his solemn protest against any such government being established in territory east of the Rio Grande, acquired by the blood and treasure of the Suite which he represeo• led. Mr. Benton said that he had done, in this, just as little as could be done and comply with the perlin nrentary forms in regard to. petitions. The Senator from South Carolina had declared the petition to• solent. The petition was neither insolent nor die. respectful, but entitled to respectful consideration. These people have used the express words of the Virginia Legislature to George 111, before the breaking out of the Revolution, but though George 11l did not grant their request he maileani exen.e that it was disresprotfuL Mr. Calhoun considered the. petition donreaprct• fel, because it aimed to deprive the south of their nghts—and it cm for this reason that he had term. ed it insaLett. • Mr. Benton • again denied the insolence. ane asserted the emanational right, conquered or not conquered, by the people of New Mexico, to pe tition Congress for a Civil Government. Ile pro nounced the declarations of the Senator from S. C. gratnirousaad unfounded. Mr. Calhonsizaid that it was sot against the right of petition that he had spoken, hot he had a right to remark upon every word of the petition pre sented. He contended that that petition attempted to exclude one half of the people of the United States from the benefits to which the whole were entitled and in this he deemed it insolent. What the Senator from Mtssouri thought on the subject was to him a matter of perfect indifference. Mr. Westcou said he had examined the petition. end Mond it signed by only fifteen persons; and without intending to be disrespectful to either the Senator from Missouri, or the Senator from DI1112.• ware-he could not but pronounce the petition nn attempt to impose upon the Congress of the Uni ted Suites. Of these fifteen names, hut two or Mice were English or American, and one of these two or three was a Mr. Giddings, who acted as : ecr r a l athe T nvennwWn'dwl d the nroedenethat this pet i tion sidered as the voice of the people of New Mexico. Mr. Benton declared that Mr. Weatcott had read the heading of the petition, as if it were coming direct from the people of New Mexico, and had not included the words also 'in Convention wam bled.' came here as the proceedings of . or ganized body of the people of New Mexico, in Con. session assembled, and if there had been any at. tempt at imposition it was not on their part. Mr. Westerot appealed to the Senate, that he had mated explicitly that it purported to be a petition of the people of New Mexico in Convention as eembled. There was no evidence that the mem. hers of this tonvention were elected as the repre sentatives of the people of New Mexico. He hod seen as yet no evidence that such a convention had been called, or that it was mare than a local meeting at Santa Fe. There was =thin before the Senate even to show for what object this meet. ing had been called. What he"prcaested against was, that, without such evidence, a petition, signed by fifteen persons, nearly all Mexican, should be received as the petition of the people of New Mexico. Mr. Clayton did not rise to take part in the des bate, though associated with the Senator from Mir Donn in the duty of presenting this Memorial He should have said nothing, had he not learned that the rights of the petitioner. might be prejudiced by the remarks of the Senators from Smith Carolina and Florida. The petition had come to them with its genuineness vouched br by respectable names, and there wee not the slightest reason to suppose that any imposition had been intended or pow tiara. He earnestly suggested to the Senator from South 'Carolina to reconsider the charge of inso lence There was nothing either Insolent or die. reispecdid In it, for if there had been he should have opposed its reception. They bad expressed the wish that sla , ery should not be Introduced there, but that could not be considered either inms. lent or 'disrespectful; aid he regretted that any thing should have been said here to prejudice Lbw canoe of the petitionem Mr. Calhoun explained that be bad on previous occasiotis, repeatedly appealed to the Senate to exclude petitions that were disrespectful to thst South. ben , he had 'mei, uniformly Toted dome. he mitedled that he considefed it the bkighr of insolence or CC" erOd P e° P 1e.411.4166( • torritorriehich belatedboth to thaerMtli end S t ittitt;l6 mime here With each an vphiMdcm.

Mr. Callswin declining, Mr. Benton made the 1206= eineri*nriy. . . - - Mr. Fooksiaquired Whether either of the Sane. tors had received any evidence, other than the petition itself, that. 'my mach convention of the peo. pie of New Mexico had been held. ' Mr. Clayton said he had received two or three letters stating the (act, and urging bun to use his influence for the estahlishment of a civil govern• meet there. Of the - fact that such a convention had been held, there could not be the slightest doubt, or alibi genuineness of the petition. Mr. Foote wished to know from them whether there was undoubted evidence received that this convention was the result of venous meeting. in New Malmo, at Whieh delegates were elected by the people, and that thin document emanated from 6 a convention entitled , to represent the people of 1 Mexico. Without such evidence, and upon the mere as. sonico of the pelitionitaelf, he was not for going the extent here, which teemed to be the object of its presentation. Ho would not say that honorable Senators had been imposed upon, but it did not spa pear that they had not been imposed upon, or that any such convention, properly constituted, had been held. Mr. Westcott did not intend to intimate that the j azz.. ei r th f iz m foged, o u r ri a h zu w rio u u n s d paper, d end he was mistaken. He simply wished the evidence that the Convention had been properly callnl and convened. Mr. Clayton bail several letters, and the petition came to him as well authenticated as are similar memorials presented to Congress. The newspas per. too, throughout the country, had published the whole proceedings, memoridl and all, weeks ago, as authentic- They had been published here, in the Intelligencer.--.He had no idea that the me morial was a huntbng, and had no doubt that there had been a very large meeting of the people on the occasion. He did not know that all the people of New Mexico had been represented there, or were there them.' ves,but the Inemonal was respect- fully worded, and should receive the same MOM deretion as it was customary to sward to similar memorials. Mr. Hale said that, though he too might be charg. ed with insekstcadae would move to goateed the motion of the Senator from Missouri, so as to refer the memorial to a committee, with instroctions to report a bill in accordance with the prayer of the petitioner. Ile contended that the people of New Mexico were entitled to a government. and maim led to it now. The people of New Mexico had came here now upon the Nichetion platform—in the spirit of the Nicholson letter—and be asked Congress to gtvethem the first dose ot the Nichol son medicine—and he trusted that those here, who believed in the doctrines of the Nicholson letter, would not now kick over their platform, but give to the people of New Mexico such a government to they ask for, had which they could have appli -1 e d for with great confidence had the author of the 1 Nicholson letter been elected President_ Mr. Foote replied to Mr. Hale, and the discussion ' between these gentlemen here turned upon the relative merits of political conventions—the Utica and Buttaki conventions in permitter. Mr. Calhoun. said he should vote against the reception, for the:reasons stated heretofore. and be , cause of the reasons now assigned by the Senators from Flonde and Mississippi.

Mr. Butler said this was a bill for the admission of a State, and nut tisr the organization of a Terri • tory, lima should, therefore, by uniform practice, go to the Judiciary Committee.

Allow me to suggest through the columns of your paper, the name of Jowl Covent, Esq., or Westmoreland county, as a candidate hr the office of State Treasurer. Mr. Corode is a true, reliable working Whig. He has been Lighting Locofoeism in its stronghold from time immemorial. At the recent State election he was the Whig candidate for Senator in the Somerset and Westmoreland district and came within 45 votes of his opponent. The district usually gives from 6 to 700 for the Locokicpa In his own township, West Fairfield, be received over 100 votes :from the opposition. Mr. Covode enjoys a high reputation in Western Pennsylvania. He commenced life as a poor boy, and by hisperseverance and skill in business has succeeded in acquiring a considerable share in this world's goods. No man in the commonwealth possesses the confidence of his fellow entre,ns to a greater degree. His character for integrity has always been unspotted, and his election to the office of Stale Treasurer would not fail to give general satlsfacuoa. Nothing could be more grati fying to the Whigs of SOMPASET & WESTMOR.ELAND. Mn.

Secretary of the Navy, I beg leave, through your columns, to re deem a promise I have made. When the small party, just returned from the Dead Sea, entered upon its water., its members came, one sod all, to the conclusion, that having undertaken what others failed to accomplish, the honor of the American name was at stake, and that it were better to die like them than return on• successful. On the evening of the 9th day, however, on the southern sea, we were prostrated by the hot blast of a simoon, sweeping from the desert of Arabia, which was followed by five days of intense and sti fling heat.. Oa the afternoon of the 14th day, on the coast of Moab, to our symptom, we were greet ed by a deputation of Murmur from Barak, the Keijath Moab dam Bible. The joy of this people at meeting us was um bounded. They careened us, brought us water and leban (sour milk,) all they had, and some of them spent nearly the whole night hunting a wild boar wherewith to regale us. When told that our, farina of worship in America were different from theirs, they replied: "What matted Christ died for all' Do you lot believe in Muir When told that we did, they mid: "Then what are forma before God? }le looks to the heart' We are broth" en' And brothers they continued to call us to the last. We could not trace their origin, but concluded that they are either the descendants done of the last tribes converted to Christianity, who in the fastnesses of the mountains, hod escaped the Mo hammedan alternative of"the Kenn of the sword," or tire crusaders under the Christian Lord of Kerak. They number spout 1.0 families, anti live in the town—the only one now left, in the once populous country of Mmih. Within the walls are also the huts in IGO Moshm families , end outside are the are the black tents of the fierce tribe Kern Keyeh, nninbering 'l5O fighting men. The Christians gave us an invitation to visit their town, shout seventeen miles distant is the mountains; but, while hospitality urging us to go, they did not conceal the perils of the visit; for they confessed that they were outoumbered and over• awed, and in an emergency would not dare openly to insist us. . I determined, however, to accept their invitation at all hazards, hie it was evident that, unless re. eructed by a more bracing atmosphere, we most inevitably perish. In this opinion the lamented Mr. Dale concurred with me. I will nofftire you with an account ofthe mea— n( the weashery;with which we were threatened . and our relent, in haul. array, with the hostile Sheikh as prisoner—but simply express my con• section, that, but for the timely I.IfiMPIIIiIOU given by the Christians, we should never have seen our boats again. Those poor Christians are much tyrannized over by their Muslim neighbors. Their only place of retreat, when threatened with violence, is then little cell of a church, which can scarcely hold twenty families Their account, which in its nsr• ration bore the impress of truth, seems confirmed by the eircumatance that in the centre of their lit• Ile church there is a well, which supplier them with water until their pniviniom are exhansted. or the restless nature of their persecutors takes them elsewhere. The object of all their hopes is to build a church sufficiently large to hold all their wives and children, Mr, with MI their intoler• sore, the Maritime respect the house of HMI whom they call "loan, the Prophet of the Chns The foundation and a part of the walla of • church have been built, but the work is discontinued from the want of means—the sirocco and the locust hat log swep their harvests for several years They gave me an appeal to their Chratain brethren in America, which I promised to delver.

The jury in this case gave a verdict for the plained in the a• mount of $lOO. On Saturday n motion was made kw a new trial. The range of argument embraced the right. of the company, under the several act. of miserably of 1838,1846 and 1848. Coder one of the acts, it was contended that the company were not liable for damages over a distance of ten miles admising the public works. What was ac tually intended by the legislature is very proble matical; but the last act of 1818 seems to have brushed away all difficulties, by the last clause, which says that the company shall be liable Wr con sequential damages in all eases arising out of their improvement.. The court seemed inclined to the opinion that the compensation made to the .when of land where • dein is erected or locks construct. ed, included all the damages that the individual could possibly recover, he himself having beet. talent as to future damages at the time of the pre aeutation of the original claim. COURT OF Corson PLEA!—laroararrr TO FAIL ~• .—iliontgostery or. New/Z.—This vru an ac •n of trespass, to recover damages for a field o Nits, claimed by the plaintiff. The parties live i Pine Township. On Friday the case went to th Jury, under a direct charge from the court on the points of law offered by the defendant's cone sel. These points are of some importance, as mutter of information to our farmer. Ist. That the 'tenant is entitled to the way going crop' has sole reference to grata sown in the fall. The crop of oats cleaned for, was sown in the spring by the tenant who went out of Nssesston. ll wits, there fore, lost to bin,. Another point won, that in an ac tion of trespass, it was accessary that the plaintiff should be is the actual possession, or have a con• structive possession, and thence a right °lnhuming property at any time. This could not be prenuins don this ease, for the lout himself, who sold yer was trt posseeeton of the oats, and it th re appeared that the action was wrongly bruugh 'erdler fur the defendant. A motion was tuaJu for • now trial iu the c of Kelly the 'Alegi,. This will he •rgunl day Ihni week.
