    treaty, in justification of future violence and
wrong—and when the Secretary of State
and the President of the United Statesotot
Only through their acknowledged organs,
but by their a uwn public avowals, have put
the seal of Slate to this confession of imbe.
eility and weakness;—when such a crisis
comes upon this free and independent con
federecy, it is time, and'high time, (if not
already too late,) for tire - people to manifest
bat-sense of honor, and that spirit of manly
tresistence, which ,- seems to have deserted
their rulers. 'Tire period seems to be fast
sprirotichitirwlen neither national rights
nor national honor will be considered worth
tudinteining, because they produce neither
ootttrcolton, nor potatoes. The Massachu•
setts commissioners sold them both for $25,
(107:1; and the Secretary of State, not consid
tang them merchantable commodities, gave
them away for nothing.
But we hail the passage of the Oregon
bill in the Senate as the light, in the hori
son of the east, that heralds the dawn of .=
brighter morning. [lad it failed, it would 1
have amounted to a virtual surrender of the
territory. There assertions of right are
nothing. We asserted our right to the ;
Northeastern territory by diplomatic cor- I
by unanimous resolutions of
Oongress; and by unanswerable proofs and
arguments. Yet it has been sacrificed for
equivalents which, when fairly scrutanized,
amount to nothing. Corn and potatoes will
not grow on. the barren mountains of Maine;
and, (according to /Pie Websterian standard
of v4ue,) as more natural defences of the
*flux, ahoy are worth nothing. But the
Oregon bill is a different affair from dtplo•
matic assertions and congressional resolu.
tione. Even Mr. Webster is a hero when
,it cornea to resolutions. This is a bill of
occupancy. it holds out ample induce ,
wants to a race of hardy and adventurous
settlers, who, once planted in the soil,
should they be deserted by their country,
will protect themselves. It is taking the
bull—the great Tees-water bull, called
Jobn, by the horns; and we shall soon hear
him roar lustily. The bull is a mighty big
bull, with broad hoofs and sharp horns. But
he has a terrible complaint—a disease of
the heart; and though he appears strong and
healthy, will, in all human probability,
some day or other, die suddenly by over
exertion in tugging with Brother Jonathan.

TWFVTY•-SEVENTH t. S. CONG ESS,
ISCOND SESSION
IVAsimgcraN, Feb. 2U, 1843
SENATE
After the presentation of petitions, the
following resolutions offered by Mr. Mc
Duffle on Saturday, were called up.
Resolved, That the Government of the
U. S., has no constitutional power to as.
eume the debts contracted by the Statcs
for their own proper purposes by the issue
of stack, whatever fund may be pledged
for the payment of the interest ur princi
pal
Resolved, That it is inexpedient fur this
government thus to assume the aforesaid
debts..
Mr. !vieDuffle made a speech in support
of his resolution.
Mr. Merrick followed in reply, and in
support of the proposition submitted by
himself last week, in favor of distribution.
Mr. Allen next gave his views, and final
ly the subject was for the present, laid on
the'table by a vote of 24 to 23.
The Senate then proceeded to the con—
sideration of the amendments to the army
appropriation hill. The House had refu
sed to concur in that amendment of the
Senate which authorizes the Secretary of
the Navy to appoint ten additional cadets.
After some discussion, the Senate this
morningagreed to insist on its amendment,
and to ask a committee of conference to
settle the difficulty. The bill was then
returned to the House.
After the disposal of several other mat
ters, the Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill to refund- General Jacks()
fine.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES
After some discussion, the bill e%ten I.
ing the act of 1538, giving prnsioi.s tai
widows and orphans of 'evolutionary (iCii
ears ands ildiers, was taken up and pa,s•
ed.
Mr. Gwin moved to go int!, cornmitee
of the whole for the purpome t,f taking up
the bill to refund General Jackson's fine.
About a dozen other members also roe
and made motions of one kid or other;
but the confusion was t-o great that the
Hall was like Bedlam. One mernbt-r
tiould be shcuting 'Mr. Speaker,' atlill;ler
would be holding up a bundl
exclaiming 'I have the petition or N sncy
,' while others were shouting .(I.)wn
in front there; we can't see.' The Speak
er thundered with his hammer, and beg
ged gentlemen to be seated. Finally they
lingeringly came to anchor, and there was
something like order.
The motion of Mr. Gwin was then en
tertained, and it prevailed by a vote of
114 to 71. So the House went into com
mittee,,but instead of 'siting up General
Jackson's bill, the bill providing for the
parent into the Treasury of monies re
served by collecting officers, was taken
up.
This bill was reported about a week
ago from the committee on ways and
means. It requires all officers of the cuss.
toms. lands, the judiciary, &c., after the
30th of June next, to pay over all monies
into the Treasury, immediately on the re
ception thereof. By this regulation, these
officers cannot disburse as heretofore, as
previous to the disbursing of any money
au appropriation act will be necessary.—
The bill also provick-s for the punishment
of such officers as may refuse to pas- over
monies received.
After a brief explanatory spie' from
Mr. Fillmore, the bill was laid aside to ba
?t
-reported.
Mr. Owin then submitted his motion to
in the bill for the reli-f of Andrew
lackaon, The motion felled, Aues 76;
noes 91.
On. motion of Mr. Fillmore, - the cram•
mittee took up the bill to authorize the re
issue of Treasury Notes. The bill au
thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to
re-issue all Treasury Notes which may he
paid in between this time and July 1844.
Mr. Barnard offered an amendment of
about a yard long. He said he had inten
ded to offer it now as the more favorable
opportunity.
Mr. Fillmore attacked the amend met.t , 2 8
not aualagous to the bill, but the Ch 4 r de
cided it to be in order.
Mr. Barnard to ik the flow..
Mr. Cushing said, ber , l•e the gentleman
proceeded, he wont' ask permission to of
fer another ame ndment, do that the corn
m tt ee m i g ht nave the whole sahject before
it.
Mr. Barnard declined, and went on to
make a long speech against, the treasury
note system. He said such a plan was no
system whatever. It was an expedient,
and not a system.
Mr. Cushing next obiained the floor,
and moved, by way of amendment, the ex
chequer bill reported from the select com
mittee at the last session.
Mr. Fillmore again appea'ed to a gen
tleman as to the propriety of thus getting
up a debate on the exchequer bill, when
there was but so little time for the trans
action of the mere important business of
the session.
The Chair decided the amendment to
be in order.
Mr. Cushing then proceeded, and made
an able speech in defence of the Exche
quer bill.
Mr. Botts followed, and after some re
marks relative to the impropriety of discus
sing a measure foreign to the bill first un•
der consideration, moved that the commit
tee rise for the purpose of getting rid of it.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Fillmore then off red a resolution,
providing that all debate on the Treasury
Note bill in committee, shall cease at
three o'clock this day. [Cries of 'O, that
is bringing down the gag with a ven.
gence.']
Mr. Gilmer here rose, and wanted to
offer a resolution providing that the House
shall hereafter meet at 10 o'clock. but the
House wouldn't hear any thin , about it.
The question was then taken by yeas
and nays on the resolution of Mr. Fillmore.
The result wan yeas 83, no 3 SO. So the
resolution was adopted.
Mr. Fillmore then moved that the House
go 'gain into committee.
Mr. Wise moved that the House ad
journ, but the motion failed.
The House then went into committee,
and resumed the consideration of the
Treasury Note bill.
Mr. Wise took the floor. He said there
were tint three minutes :eft of the time al
lowed for debate. This being the else.
he would go on until that time should ex
pire. He accordingly made a 'three min
utes' speech in favor of the Exchequer.
He concluded by protesting against the
gag system, by wh i ch all chance for fait
discussion had been cut off. Here the
ha:nraer of the Chair fell, and the debate
terminated.
The committee then rose and reported
the biii to the House wit'l iut amendment.
By the aid of the previous 9uestioo, it was
then read a third time, and passed, by a
Ar,.te of 111 to 61.
The bill requiritil public officers to pay
all rnories into the Ti easu ry immediately
on its reception, was also passed.
Mr. Adams made an ineffectual attempt
to present the great Latimer petition from
Boston asking that lasslchusetts may be
forever separated firm any participation,
either directly or indirectly, in the perpet
uation of slavery.—Tho petition is signed
by fifty•one thousand persons, and would
make a good wagon load• It was fixed
on Mr. A's desk the whole day, and look
ed like a lar g e bale of cotton.
P. S. Mr. Adams had ju Lot moved for a
suspension of tfle ruleA, to enab'e him to
get it, his enormous petition. It is ab iut
as large as an elephant.
Catastrophe.—About 4 o'clock
this afternoon, another land slide occurred
from the hill (Nit. Ida,) where the awful
catastrophe of January 1,1537, transpired,
exceeding in extent and consequences
that memorable disaster. Some eight or
ten dwellings, occupied by poor families,
were crushed and buried beneath the mass
of earth In these, it is supposed there
were not less than thiity or forty persons,
only ten or twelve of whom escaped.—
Within an hour, rine bodies had been dug
from the ruins; five nl which were without
life, one partially injured, and three not
beyond recovery. Had this avalanche oc•
curred in the night, the destruction of life
would have been still greater, as many
occupants of the houses were absent at
their labor or elsewhere. A man from
the country, passing at the time with his
team, leaped from his sleigh and escaped.
The horses and loa•l of wood were buried
beneath the earth. We just left the scene
of disaster. It is one of horrific desolation.
Thousands were congregated on the spot,
and a corps of efficient men engaged in
penetrating the earth, and clearing away
the fragments of buildings•` Troy' Budget,

Lynching Almost,—The Cincinnati Sun
says that a lady was run over on Saturday
last in Broadway by a negro furiously *hi
ving in a pang. The populace were fur
Lynching, him, and we understand he was
cut with a knife before he left the cellar
under the Broadway Hotel, whence he
was taken to the Mayor's office. A large

Abolitioa"tind the Gazette.
The astute editor of the Gazette, in hie
paper of Wednesday, strings out a long ar—
ticle abusing Mr. Buchanan for declating
his hostility to the project of abolition
that has been broached in our country by the
emissaries of the foreign enemies of our in
stitutions, and fostered by domestic traitors
and their little echoes, such as the editor
of the Gazette. It would be a useless piece
of labor to reason on the justness of a feel
ing which is admitted by nine tenths of the
citizens of every state in:the union,and it e
vinces a degree of astonishing smartness on
tile part of our neighbor to have discovered
that the democratic party is opposed to the
proceedings of the foreign abolitionists,
who, in carrying out their schemes, would
not hesitate to trample down the
,tons.litu
tional rights of a portion of the citizens, itno
take every means to foment the worst pas.
sions of the objects of their pseudo philan•
throphy and to excite them to deeds of vio
lence and blood. Who is it that is nut the
foe of these patrons of violence AO dis
cord'? Where is the party that has ever
dared to take up the principle of abolition
as a part of its policy. AN hen did antima
bonry, with all its predilection to do vio
lence to the rights of others, proclaim itself
the friend of Abolition. When and where
has our neighbor called on his party to rally
in support of this measure, or when did he
censure the great leaders of his party, in
time of political excitement, for disclaiming
all connexion with abolitionism? No par
ty will esrouse I', no political press will ad
vocate it. Even the deacan, who is now
discharging his popguns at Mr: Buchanan
with so much fury, for declarinz his hos
tility to abolition, has never dared to"bring
forth his domestic treason, when his party
was soliciting the suffrages of the people.
lie knows that if there is one principle in
which honest men of all parties unite, it is
in a feeling of abhorrence for the spirit of
abolition, and the base and recklesss means
1V 1101 its alien advocates would not hesitate
to use, for the purpose of carrying their
schemes.
But the object at which the editor of the
Gaz tte is aiming by giving garhhled ex
tracts from Mr. Bichan speect is not
to show that gentleman's hostility to aho•
litiLn, for he knows that would he appro•
ved by a large majority of his fellow citi.
zens, but to create the belief that Mr. B.
is the friend and advocate of slavery.—
Nothing could be more base and untrue
than this imputatioa against Mr. Buchan
an, and the means used to injure hitn in
this respect, are .vorthy of the vilest tools
of a party without principle, and which de
(lends upon fra:id, falsehood and deception
alone, to seduce the people into a support
of its measures. In the same paragraph
from which the Gazette quDtes to estab
lish its charge, Mr. Buchanan explicitly
declares that the democrac of the north
is "opposed to slavery in the abstract;'
and we know from our own experience,
that they regard is with almost as much
detestation as they do the incendiary ef.
forts of the hordes of foreign plotters,
who are the leaders in the dark enterprise
:if abolition. But good deacon White,
with characteristic honesty, would not do
Mr. Buchanan the justice of giving all his
remarks on this question; he seized that
portion of theM most easily distorted, and
which would leave the impression that the
speaker was in favor of slavery, and after
this act of mean dishonesty, he declares
"such are the sentiments of the great lead
er and champion of Loco focoism in Penn
sylvania."
lithe editor believes that Mr. Buchan.
an spoke his honest sentiments when he
declared his abhorance of abolition, he
must also believe him when he prpclaints
himself and the democratic party, to be
opposed to slavery. And in what position
does this place Mr. Buchanan? Why, in
precisely the same that is occupied by eve
ry member of the democratic party, and
which has ever been proclaimed by our
speakers, and maintained by our presses
throughout the state, at all times and on
all occasions, when an expression of the
sentiments of our party was required on
t'le subject.
It is, then, ridiculous for the editor of the
Gazeite . to raise a tempest in a teapot, a
bout thil matter. The democrats of Penn
sylvania, have never made any concealment
of their disapproval of abolition, no more
th they have their opposition to slavery.
Tit:•y deplore the existence of slavery in
the south, but viewing it as an institution
guarantied, to that portion of the country by
the constitution, they; the language of
Mr. Gidding, a special'filitturite ofthe Ga
zettte, irt:frair -4 41upporting . the constitu
tional rights (Wall parts of the union."
Our neighbor is welcome to all the carp.
ital hP can make out of this matter, but in
quoting from the speeches of democratic
statesmen, we beg of him to show a little
more regard for candor than he tila done
in making out his case against Mr. Buchan
an.
Harrisburg Correspondence.
14 AR RIRBURG 11 , Feb. 21, 1813
Gentlernen:—This morning, a message
was received from the Governor vetoing
the apportionment Bill recently passed by
the Legislature. In the Senate, the mes
sage was read and a motion made to print
1000 copies of it, upon this resolution, a
violent discussion arose. Mr. Penniman
led off in opposition to the veto; and Messrs.
Kidder . and Gibbons sustained it. The veto
is of a strong party chary...ter, and will be
sustained by the Democratic Party of the
State. The vexed question ij , whether the
city and county of Philadelphia should be
allowed time or four members of Congress.
They have not the population for the latter
number, but they have the force here to de.
feat any Bill which d ies not allow it to
them; and they are very willing to exercise
their power. I think that the county mem.
bers will concede their four [Timbers, in
order to get a fair Bill through the Legisla
ture, and that the next Bill that passes will
have that number.
The House has been engaged most of
the Session this morning in considering
certain amendments made by the Senate
to the House Bill to abolish the Nicholson
Court. Before they got through with them,
the standing hour of adjournment, (one o'
clock) arrived. There is a Session this of_
ternoon, but it is to be devoted to the con
sideration of private bills. P. Q.
Salt and Ice.—We saw a merchant the
other day with about a quart of salt in a
bran new tin basin, sprinkling the pave
ment before his dour; and passing by in a
few hours afterwards, we found that the
snow and ice had disappeared. He dis
covered this plan by reading the pipers,
which at once proved him In be a man of
good sense and one who had a proper re
gard for the hones of his neighbors. We
lik^ to see such people encouraged, and
hope that the ladies Kill purchase their
trifles ‘‘liereser they find the cleanest
travement.
Musical Row.—They had a most glori.
0118 row at the Grand Concert given in
Philadelphia on S.lturday evening last. It
was occasioned by the Committee refusing
to pay Ssguin and his iaife, the sum agreed
upon for their set vices. There was but
$246 in the house, of this the Seguins de:
mended $l5O, leaving but $96 to pay about
thirty other performers. They all made
speeches and were hissed and applauded
in turn. Order was at length restored by
the parties adjourning their dispute until
after the performance.
Business in New York—is reviving a
little, but still dull enough. The Commer.
vial of Siturday says:—The thermometer
indicates this morning a severer degree of
cold than we have heretofore experienced
this year. The Hudson is bound in icy
chains fur nearly its whole length, our bay
and harbor are filled with masses of float.

streets and avenues are resounding a ith

Returning from New South Wales.
G eorge Saxon, a man who had been trans
ported for some criminal offence, is now
in custody at Manchester, having escaped
from New South Wales. He ( &cult] his
escape about three years ago, in company
with nine others, eight of whom were mas.

travelling COO miles afoot, he got on board
a ship and worked as a sailor. He was

Phillips, of the Lousiaoa Legislature has

Arrival of the Acadia.
The steamship Acadia arrived at Boston
on Saturday evening after the short passage
of a little over 13 days, having left on the
sth inst. being detained one day by a heavy
storm. Last night's mail brought us Chas.
Widmers's 'American News Letter,'
from which we extract the following:
Pat liament was opened by commission
on the 3d inst.
The coast was visited on the 13th and ,
14th Jan., with a most fearful hurricane.
The steamer Btitannia, which met it about
500 miles west of Cape Clear, m eathered
it in gallant style, arriving at Liverpool in
14 days. Upwards of seventy fishing
boats, with all hands, were lost off Galway
Bay. Ott the coast'of Morne, several fish
ing ',oats were overtaken by the gale, and,
together with the crew of a boat which
mercifully attempted to rescue them, were
utterly lost. The vicinity of the catastro.
phe which has left fifty families destitute
is describ, d as one wide scene of mourn
ing. The Steamer Monk was lost in Car
nai von Bay, and more than thirty souls
perished. A magnificent ship, the Con—
querer, of 800 tons burthen, on her voy
age from Calcutta to London, was wreck
ed off the coast of Boulogne, of the 80 per
sons 00 board her, all, with the exception
of a boy, perished.
We ate sorry to add that the bodies of
the crew and passengers were stripped by
the natives, and the pillaged property ex
posed to open sa'e in the neigboring vila
ges. The Jessie Logan, 1000 tons bur
then, from India to Liverpool. was totally
Inst off' the Corni,ll coast. The Captain
and crew were saved. The Percy steam
er from Tynemouth to London, was totally
wrecked in the gale off Tynemouth. All
the crew with the exception of a boy, sa
ved themselves by swimming ashore. The
American packet ship Sart:ening was, on
ithe same fatal night,wrecked on the Good
! wit Sand s . The cryw with great exer-
Hots saved themsdves. The vessel has
totally disappeared. 'These ate a few and
but a few of the incidents of the hurricane.
The intelligence of every day's post doer
but swell the list of its calamaties.
Murder. —As Edward Drummond, Es q.
the P:ivate Secretary of Sir Robert Peel,
was nroceeding down Charing Cross, en
20th Jan., a person immediately behitd
him drew a pis:o! from his breast and dis
charged its contents into his victim's Tack.
At the moment of a, policeman teEdting
the spot. the assassin L drew another .sistol
from his right breast, and presented it at
Mr. Drummond. The policeman struck
the pistol downwards, and its ccntents
were lodgod in the ground. It is need
less to add that the miscreant wasintents
ly secured - . The ball passed into Mr.
Drummond's stomach, and he die.d.a few

Sir Charles Medealle, who distinguish
ed himself by his services in the east, and
by his conduct as Govei nor of Jamaica,
has been appointed to succeed Sir Charles
Bagnt in the Government of Canada, and
proceeds in the Acadia, this dry to aasume
his office.
In the Colonial and other markets the
greatest possible depression rxists, whilst
the home trade continues in the most un
satisfactory state. The Maley market is
equally affected. Capita!is.s act with the
greatest caution, and appear more dispo—
sed to wait the chances of future events
than invest in securities, in which they see
no prospect of tealiziug.
In the House of Commons on the 3d,
nothing of interest occurred beyond a
speech of Sir Robert Peel, in which he
qualified, to some extent, his statement of
the previous night, respecting the Corn
Law. Ile still retained, he said, his belief
of the superiority of the sliding scale over
a fixed duty, hut he was not so wedded to
any law as to support it when it failed to
answer its purpse. All laws were sub
ject to change, and muss be accommoda
ted to the circumstances )l the times. But
as far as this Session is z.oncerned, he .did
not intend, and would.resist any attempt
at alteiing the Corn Law of the last Ses
