I aottoed, the other day, the (signal failure of Davis, of Mississippi, who nndertook to answer Mr. Clay, and who, indeed, seems to have looked upon himself as the Cory pheusofthe Sonth, in the pending contest, since the illness of Mr. Calhoun. Hta terrible break down, I learn, was remarked by all his fellow Sen* atora.

The frantic threat* of violence! knd physical con tention have given way, for Ihol present, to coun eels a shade milder. Yet most, of the speakers from the slave States take the ground that disun ion must follow the admission of California. They make the sad mistake of assuming that slavery it the Sonth, and then adopt the Equally erroneous idea that tl\e whole power of the free Slates mast necessarily be thrown against slavery. They say the North is now stronger than lue South, and that the admission of California mjisl necessarily be followed by that of Minnesota,] Nebraska, dec., if slavery is to be kept out of the other territories of New Mexico and Deseret, aS free States, as ad. jnnets of the North, Which will all be hostile to the South, and unite, m overriding and oppressing her. Tne obvious and conclusive answer to all this is, that the institution of slavery has no more right to arrogate to ileelf, or Cot it* protection and encouragement, one'half of all the political power of theconntry, than any other interest has. It is true that the ownership of two and a half millions of colored laborer* la a : mightf interest,. but-so Is the ownership of all life iron furnaces, foundries, and rolling mills; and it might |a* well be asserted : that the State* in which thev chlcflylie, to win Pennsylvania, Connkcucut, New York, Ohio, Maryland, and Tennessee, had the right to one hall ibe representation oJr tho Union, in the Senate, and an equality ot all [other political pow er*, as that the Stales in which slave holding is * leading interest can maintain such pretension. lam frank to say that the is not yeU The iuoo no man can yet *ee- California will ibe admitted in'some shape, is a matter of coarse, ! but itis notdeir that she wiUccDfco* W *on ! dition whatever, nor ought ihe—.be is a Stale al* ready with greater elementslof power than any I now in our Union.

So tightly, indeed, was the cord drawn, that it was almost buried in the flesh back of tho neck, and exhibited deep indentations in tho col* . tOB #D d balling, with which the unhappy girl was strangled. 'Some faint scratches appealed upon the face, and the forehead exhibited marks of blows, but the skull was not fractured, as at first reported, and the examining physicians gave it os their opiaioo. that the wounds upon the head were not alone sufficient to causa death. It was tho sap position of the medical gentlemen, that the blows were given to put an end to ber struggle, while the murderers were proceeding in their work of strangulation with the cotton cloth. A further examinaiioolof the body brought to light practices surpassing in inhuman barbarity, if possible, what we have already detailed of this heart sickening and terrible uagedy. The evidence before the caroner upon this point we forbear to give. It is too horrible to contemplste. The investigations of the Coroner continued from Monday until 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when a verdict was rendered.
