On motion adjourned. JAMES SALISBURY Cbaxnnan. 'ARPER, Secretary. SAMUEL H. repeal of the tonnage tax. We publish* to-day the bill recently sub mitted to the Legislature, for the repeal of the tonnage tax, upon freight passing over the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is an import ant bill, not only to the Railroad Company but to the people of the State, and merits a careful examination and a fair judgement at the hands of all. As be seen by its terms, the bill now proposed is a compromise one. Although the company claims that justice would ] require the naked repeal of this tax, they | are willing to have it done in such a man ner, and under such conditions as to greatly benefit the people of the State. The alleged discriminations against freight shipped from Pittsburgh and other local points within the State, are fully remedied in the present bill, aud all the conditions suggested by our Board of Trade have been embodied in the bill which has been approved in its present shape, Jjy this b-xly, which represents our business men. All taxes, it is a well settled fact* come ofl the consumer in the end, and this eflort of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to relieve its customers of the burthens of the tonnage tax, will meet the approval of all western bu.sine.srj men. In the recent report of the business of the Company, tho increase of freight earn ings of the last year over the previous one. is stated at 072,82, and much the larger part Ot this increase is upon the local freight. The through business has not increased in the same ratio, and why ? Sim ply because the tonnage tax has operated against through freight which had a choice of routes for reaching the Eastern markets, and driven a large proportion of the busi ness, which, all things being equal, would naturally have sought the Pennsylvania route to the New York and Baltimore lines. The loss of this business U of immense conse quence to the trade of the State, and is felt in its commercial cities both E-intern and Western. Consumers of bmnl.-aufls and other produce, are the main tuflerers by this loss of trade, lor where the »upply is lessened, no matter what the cause, the prices increase and the consumer has to pay the increased price. Paw materials h r manufacturing purposes are directed into other localities from the same cause, and rival communities are enriched thereby at the expense of our own. The local trade on the Railroad is every dollar of it subject to this tonnage tax of the State, and with the increased business this burthen of taxation is increased. Those who produce, anji those who ship their pro duce on the road are taxed equally with other citizens on their property and in ad dition thereto they are taxed upon every barrel of flour, bushel of wheat, ton of iron or package of goods which passes over this road. This of course diminishes their profits—profits to which industry is entitled, and also increases the cost of what they consume. The law which it is now prepared to re peal discriminates against the business, in terests of the State, and retards theif pros perity, and favors those of distant commu nities. But we have said that the present bill is a compromise one. it does not provide that the benefits to Lhe people of the State shall be left to chance, or to the option of the rail road company. The bill binds the company to takeofl the alleged unfair discrimination against Western local freight. It provides thab the company shall loan the amount of tax accrued since August, 1857, to lateral or connecting roads, pro rata, according to their length. This will aid in the completion of these roads and develope the resources of a large amount of the territory of the State. By the" bill, the company is bound to pay taxes on all its property and franchises, and also the company increases the payments on account of the purchase of the Main Line 5400,000 per annum until the entire price is paid. This bill is a just one, in our opinion, and of great advantage to the people of the State. The Legislature should calmly ex amine it, for it is an important matter to their constituents, and it is to be hoped that all that petty prejudice of a certain class which cries out against all corporations as corrupt, will be regarded as it ought to be by the members, and that our great inland route will be left as free as possible to the natural laws of trade and commerce. A gentleman employed to make arrange ments for the Pießident-elect and party for their route to Washington, passed through the city westward last evening and reports that he has mot with a very cordial reception at all points from all persons without distinction of ■ party. It is expected the parly will leave Springfield on Monday next, and will pro bably reach hero via. Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Oolumbns and Pittsburgh, on Friday and slop over night, and reach Buffalo Saturday night and Btop their ovor Sunday. Mr. C. L. Kuseell, chairman of the recep ° Uon committee, left for Springfield last evening, the bearer of a formal invitation to Mr. Lincoln to visit Cleveland. He accom panied Mr. Wood, the agent of the President " gleet '—Cleveland. Plaindealer of Thursday. ' ijke Cincinnati papers mention that letters containing about four thousand dollars were abstracted some days ago from tho Post-office in that citv, by a well known attacho, who has since departed for parts unknown. The Uni ted Spates Marshal's force has been employed ' in searching for him, but as yet without suo r ' cess. The name of the person implicated and t ' the cirfflHnstanQfsfgJnuected with the robbery ' are.not made public. ■ fif» said' in the N»w York papers that "firmly* friends offered $2OO for votes for their 1 favorite, at the recent Senatorial struggle at ftfhany.

A day or two since, a spicy debate too 1 : place in the United States Senate, between Senators Seward, Wigfall, Hale, Mason and Douglas. Following we give a portion of the debate, including the entire remarks of Hr. Douglas, which will be read with pleas ure and profit: Mr. Douglas Now, sir, 1 have sent no dispatch upon this subject, except one Elen, d jointly by the Senator from Kentucky [Mr Crittenden] and myself, in reply to a commit tee of very prominent and distinguished per sons, asking our opinion ; and we simply ex pressed our opinion. We said, * 4 We have hope ; ” and added, 11 Don’t gi vc up the ship : don't despair of tho Republic " That was all 1 could not have sent a dispatch, if the Clark preposition had been defeated, to the c fleet ih&t the Crittenden proposition was adopted, because it left that unacted upon. The effect of all the gentlemen on this side voting in op position to the Republican sid**, on that amend ment, would have been to leave the Crilten den proposition before the Senate to bo acted upon; would have given it a chance tn be adopted; 'and'would have deprived them ol the opportunity of telegraphing to tho coun try that there was no hope, in order to expe dite secession in the Stales where the vote was about to be lakun. £uon use was made of that vote; and it was le^it 1 mate, therefore, for mo to refer to it as an evidence that there was an unwillingness among some on inis side of the Chamber, as well as oo the other side, to ad just and settle these questions. But the Senator has to refer, by way of ridi cule, as he suppbsea —and if is very fine wit, QO doubt— to my “great principle’' of non intervention by Congreai with slavery in the States and Territories. Sir, if that principle had been carried out, there w.eiid have been peace in thin country now ; and yet the Sena tor gays that it is the principle of non-inter vention that has produced all these troubles in the land. Ho says that the fault is that of the advocates of non-intervention for bringing this disturbance-; not upon Southern interven tionists'; not upon Northern interventionists; that the Republicans are not at all to blame; and that the Southern extremists are cot at all to blame. The Republicans are in favor of in tervention with slavery. The Senator and his friends are in favor of intervention, too. They both agree that Congress must intervene and control tbo slavery question. They both agroo as to tho power and duty of Congress to inter vene and control the slave question. He d >os not think that the Union is in dauger in con sequence of the Republicans asserting tho right and duty of th>s Government to prohibit sla very in tho Territories, ar.d in the dock-yards, and navy-yards, and tuo District of Columbia : Ho secs no daugor from that, and none from the counter demand, that tho Federal Govern* tryml shall intt-rleru t" maintain and prelect slavery everywhere' Ido see that this whole trouble arises from the conflict between inter- I ventionists North and interventionists South. I Too whole trouble arises from the conflict bo« tween those who demand that Congress shall interfere for the purpose uf prohibiting on the one side, and those who demand that Congross shall intervene for tho purpose of protecting and maintaining on tho other side. The Senator fruiu Texas cannot vindicate himsell and those that act with him, unles he vindicates the Republicans also; and : bey can not vindicate tneir position without vindica ting his lienee they unite in denoucing non. intervention; they agr-m m denouncing the great principle of rum-interference, which alone can put a stop to the jdavory agiiatu n The Senator could not give a more-unking illustration of the justice <d my first rommenu of the sympathy beiwton the extremisls north and the eitremibU s> utb, than this unity wl purpose to keep tho slavery agitation in Con- and thus produce an “irrepressible con flict” betwoen the two sections. All J have ever asked was, that the Republicans, on their side, should give up their alleged right to in torfere against slavery, and that th« extreme couth should give up their claim to i !jl*‘rKr 0 for slavery. Get thequ -unm atom*, and tin re Will be peaco in this country But the Senator fcajß that, to ad'plihe prin ciple of m.m intervention on the sul-jo. 1 ol slavery, would be - •'juivalent to theabuml' n merit of the right of protoetmn to property; thjit every government must protr.t property everywhere. That Slnator had better real ti.e Constitution again, ami then let him toil me where he tind* the power given to this gov ernment to protec t nors-a. or cattle, or lut-r cbai.d se or s!»V'S, or any s;>ecies of property in any Slate or Territory ■>! this L’aiun. I d*»< not propose to make any d ist! r etioO l.e.tvmu; them: but 1 deny the right of tbe federal Oovorr.tnent to interfere with either of them The Con.-ii'.ution gives un ; t»wur to Jo so in the Slat*-*; and let him show mo a clause ol the Constitution that give* greater power on do mestic questions iri the Territories than in the Stales i n-p Oat that i teo no h>po of p*-ac<‘, no*;' 1 , for the extrem.&U N-.rlh an J the extremists South to yield to the adoption of the pnncipb: that the Federal G>vernmeDt shall Dot legis lat*-* upon tho of slavery anywhere.— This question can be taken out of Congress, ean he withdrawn from the arena of Federal polities in various ways Oue is an equitable partition of the territory between the two ere tione, with clausog in the Constitution securing the enjoyment to the North and to the S -utL of the share of each. Another is, a prov.sinn that Congress shall not legislate on the sub ject anvwbore, except :n the two ca*es ?p««ci tied. Either of these provisions takes it owl ot Congress; and 1 am willing, as 1 have said, to meet gentlemen half way in accommodating this difficulty. Ido not ask them to come to any theory of mine, iibinkitis the best one; but I am willing, for the 6&ke of the peace o! tho country, lor the sake of this Union, to moet gentlemon half way, and accomm-’duto this question, as our fathers did the convention whicn fraraod the Constitution. But the Senator does not see how honest men can have any hope of this Union, lie must pardon me lor dinging to tho bopo with as much tenacity as I would to my life, that this Union may bo maintained forever. 1 do not expect to convinco tha: class of I’nioo men who propose to destroy the Union in order to preserve ii; lo break it up in order to maintain it. Ido not expect to convince those north ern Abolitionists who believe that the Contli tution is a leaguo with hell, and get them to meet us aDd save the Union. Ido hope that there is patriotism enough left in Senators of various parties to unite and rut down these two extreme, and save tho Union. [Applause in the galleries.] I hope that there is a Union sentiment left in the Southern States. I believe that if we shall do justice by depriving ourselves of the power to commit thu6o aggres sions on the sluveholding States, which w« say we do not intend to commit, adopt a constitu tional amendment rendering it impossible for us to do what they think wo mean to do, and what we say wo do not intend to do, there will be Union men etiough in Virginia, in Mary land, aad North Carolina,and in all the border States,and in all tho cotton .States too, who will outvote the and preservo this Union. I desire, sir, to make my appeal to the Union . men of the country, North and South : to the conservative feeling of the country; to the * great patriotic heart of the people; and to ask • them to arise in their might, and overthrow [ any party tha 1 . will combine to destroy this r Union for any purpose. I do not desire any ' section, or any State, to give up any right un der the Constitution. In one senso, the remark of the Senator from Virginia, and the endorse ment of tho SoDalor from New Hampshire, , was just. The Senator from Virginia wants no concessions; ho is satisfied with the Consti* ’ tution as it is, as ho understands it. Tho Sen ator from New Hampshire wants no chango. Ho it satisfied with the Constitution, as he understands it. But it so happens that these two Senators do not understand the Constitution in the same way : and each of them will break up the Union before he will acoept tho construction of the other In that is the trouble ; aod how are you going to reconcile it ? The Senato 1, from Virginia cannot argue the Senator from New Hampshire out of his construction ; nor can the Senator from New Hampshire argue the Senator from Virginia out of bis. llow, then, is it to be settled ? You must either adhere to your two extreme positions and dissolve the Union, because you each think you are right, or you must agree to such an amendment of the Con stitution as will settle and fix the construction of it in all future time. Hence it comes to the single point, that either we must amend the Constitution so as to settle the points in dis Sute, or prosecute the. “irrepressible conflict” etween the Interventionists North and tho interventionists South, destroy the Govern* meet, and each cbarge it on the other. ' Under these circumstances, I dtf not under stand how any man can be a friend of the pniqn *whp iaopposed to such a compromise of 'the mattera in iisputP aa will preserve it I hear tife IfepubTieanfc, The extreme men—for '/'‘'■vsrfj. •>*v there aro Union men, I find, on that side of the Ctiumbor ; but the uw impr* mistng men on that aide id the Chamber are ioud in their \ T jft:- S! on -1»: ht'.ss Lm» n t to the Union; just as loud in those |.rul»-haiohs as the Senator lVt»m Texas, just «.> sw.cere, just as patriotic, and )*-t rushing w ih the same rapidity to the destruction of me very Union they profess to revere Toe mar. that will not compromise by settling the emstrueion on this disputed p -int, na no right to claim that he is a Unb-n man. I tear there are tlituuionisis, North and So alb, in the Rons* 1 in which I understand tho term ; n.t in the sense in which the Sorthti.-r from Texas, or the gentleman on Lho other s.de understand it 1 fear Ihnro are men in both sections of the Union, whoihink it is better for their section l«> have the U nion dissolved; I fear there are men in t olb ?u, lions of the Union who, fur politna l reasons, would like to have it dissolved; I l‘-ar there are tnen in both icctions, who think that their parly could control one hall ot the country, when they could not hope to govern the whole. 1 fear that those consideration* are restraining patriotic men from making those concessions which are essential tpAlso salvation, the peace, and the perpetuity*of this Union. It is not agreeable to me to express this conviction. I have attempted to express it in Wins as mild and as little tdfjnsive as possible; but I now gay, before high Heaven—and let it go upon the wires, to the four corners ol the Republic —that in my opinion, there are dieuuiouists on this side of the Chamber and -n that; di»- unionists South and North, ai.d as many North as South, in both Halls m Congress; and I think it U time that the Union m 4 n ol both Houses begin to come together and act in concert, and let the uncompromising men of both sect'ons, who prefer thl dissolution of the Union to the dissolution,’of their party, who prefer the destruction of the Govern ment to the destruction of their party organ ization, be separated from tire Union men of the country. The people will understand these professions of lovo while the dagger is being u»ed; these professions of devotion to the Union while there is a refusal to moot the q jestion, to consider it in a spirit of conciliation, and to adjust it upon terms of fair compromise. Neither party is exclusively responsible for these disasters. Neither can evade the respon sibilily, if it does not incut this question and save the Cuion by compromise. lam ready to act with any man who will show Ins devo tion to the Uniun by bis willingness to make the concessions of jr de and oi party policy which are necessary to save it.

The volunteers that have been threatening to take it httvo never numbered more than a couple of thousand, and many of these have suffered from sickness, while very fow are fit for pro* traded service, or for undertaking a siege.— Thu .-lory telegraphed about “a true,” being concluded between Lieut.

No doubt the latter have concluded not to attempt to lake the fort, and this they may call u a truce" or an ‘-armistice.” But we are quite sure that Slemmer has had noth'* ing to do with it.

WYlllambpobt, Feb. 1, 1801 Gentlemen : Tho kind letter of tbe Demo* cratic members of the Legislature cf PenneyL vania, inviting me to meet them at a dinner, proposed to be given at the Buehler House, in Harrisburgh, at 6uch time as may suit my con* venienee, is before me, and I avail myself of the first leisure moment, after an absence of a week from home, to acknowledge its receipt. To say that I highly appreciate the complimen tary manner in which you are pleased to refer to my official course as a legislator and Chief Magistrate, is but faintly to express the deep feelings of thankfulness and gratitude which it has evoked. Next to the approval of his own conscience, the approbation of the whe and the good should ever be tbe highest aim of a public functionarj; and, while ho may not, in the discharge of tho many important and con flicting duties devolving upon him, hope to entirely escape conmr*, it may be relied on with unerring certainty that lime will, in tbe end, record a just judgment. While circumstances constrain mo to decline tho acceptance of your friendly offer of a public dinner, I pray you to excuse ine, and to accept for yourselves, individually and oollec tively, the kind mgards and sincere acknow* lodgments of Your friend, To Heister Clymer, Wm 11. Welsh, H. S, Mott, Esq’-, and other members of the Legis lature of Pennsylvania Judge Barnard of Nrw York city, has decided that tho funds which have been depos ited by Mr. Platt in the Park Bank should be piaced in tbe Broadway Bank— tbe depository selected by Mr. Devlin, the newly appointed chamberlain, who i* a director in the litter institution. The amount (upwards cf two million? of dollars) wa3 promptly paid by the Park. The press generally throughout the State a r e astonished and indignant at Gov. Curtin's partisan appointment of Commissioners to the Peace Convention. In appointing the whole delegation from the rank 3 of the Republican party, ho has tbrviwn tho whole responsibility upon that party, and if they misrepresent the sentiment of the j>oople of Pennsylvania, the consequences will tail upon their own heads. The Genius of Liukuty, published at yniontown, has boon purchased by Col. E. G. Rodey, from Mr. Boyle, the late proprietor, and now is published in quarto form. The Genius is a reliable Democratic journal, and has beon for years a valuable organ of the Democratic party in old Fayette. Oil in paying quantities has been found in the Mahoning Valley, at Youngstown, Ohio.
