The officers of the company gave the required security for the payment of the mon ey. should the suit be decided against them, and of course the property levied on was im mediately released.

The only question is at. to whether that species of property is to he maintained and protected in the rights the roimtitution gives it Noth ing more is asked, and nothing less will be ac ceptable to the South. it is also untrue that we favored the course of the seceding States. or at any time mani fested a determination to go out with them -- No body of men in the Convention could bare witnessed their withdrawal with feelings of deeper regret than did the majority of the Penn sylvania delegation, for the direct tendency of that act was to favor tile nomination of a can didate we were against ; and Ido not believe there were any RINI in Charleston who exerted themselves more ardently than did a portion of the Pennsylvania delegation to induce the se ceders to return to the Convention, myself amongst the number. It is true, that when it was generally understood and believed that the remainder of the Southern States, failing to have their ultimatum accepted by the Conven tion, would also secede, together with the two Pacific States, many of us had determined, and had not hesitated to say, that, on the happen ing of that contingency, we should refuse to participate any longer in the proceedings of the Convention. This we should have done, because a nomination made under such circum stances, would have been an idle ceremony, and would have foreclosed all chance of recon ciliation in the Convention or success for the party ; but no one, so far as my knowledge goes, thought seriously of going out with the eight States that had retired, or for the reasons which they assigned. The inquiry—put in no gracious terms— "whether the Cincinnati platform was not good enough fur the majority of the Pennsylvania delegation." is readily answered. It was good enough for us, and we voted for it ; but we were willing, in addition, in order to save the party from disruption, and because we believ ed it right in principle. to acknwledge that modification Or definition of the meaning of the Cincinnati platform which the decision or opin ion of the Supreme Court, in the case of Dred Scott, had necessarily engrafted upon it, to the effect that Territories are not soverignties; that a territorial legislature cannot -exclude slave property from the limits of its jurisdic tion ; and that within its jurisdiction it is bound to take as good care of that species of property as it does of any other. This concession would UNE 16, 1860 have preserved the harmony of the Convention, and then Mr. Douglas, if nominated, would have had a fair chance for an election. lam willing to leave the public to decide between me and my assailants on this poin l l But the great complain of all i that the mitiority of the delegation did not tote for Mr. Douglas. This complaint is as to reasonable as anytiting else that has been said, and only goes to prove that in the ardor of rbeir admi rationifor Mr: D. certain of his friends are utterly incapable of looking at boili sides of this question and Stulging impartially. We certainly never pretended to be far Douglas, and, therefore, no one has'been detieived. It was perfectly well known when we were elect ed delegates that we preferred other Candidates to Mr Douglas. But it is attempted to find in the large vote received by him a l Teason—to some a conclusive reason —why we Should have abandoned our favorites and goneifor Mr. D,: Under ordinary circumstannces theft*, would be great. if not conclusive, force in this view of the case, and I do not hesitate to lay to you, that with auspicious surroundings, and where the alternatives involved a choice or men, with about equal chances at the polls, it ;would have influenced my action to no inconsiderable de gree ; but to my mind the surroundings utterly forbade that we should go for Mr. iDouglas.— As the case then stood, his comination could have resulted only iu utter defeat tobimself and the party You must keep in mind the fact that we did not ballot for a candidate at all until the delegations from eight States and the half of the delegation from Delaware bad retired front the convention, on the ground that they could not stand by the platfurtn of princi pies as then adopted. Had the Pennsylvania and other delegations yielded at this juncture and nominated Mr. Douglas, everybody knows that the seceding States would forthwith have nominal c4l, a Southern candidate, and probably called a convention of all the Southern States to have ratified that nomination ; and thus, sir, the democratic party, that gloriouiold organi zation which has done so much to advance the prosperity of our great country, mid vindicate the principles of our republican syitem of gov ernment, would have been shattered into frag ments and pro , tratcd probably fortiver. What ever I might have , done under other circum stances. I thought it a duty—an imperative duty—to the democratic party and lhe country to stand out against the nomination of Mr D , an things then stood. surely the friends of Mr D do not seek to nominate Mtn for the glory of the nomination alone I take it they de-ire to see hint tondo President , and, in my judgement. no act (mild hate wore cumnietely foreclosed all his chance. , tit this time than to have nominated him in a divided Convention.

Mr. Wright had very frankly and repeatedly declared that he would obey the will of the thajority of the delegation on that subject ; and certainly no more formal or imposing yet i of expressing that desire could be devised Ulan that of each delegate, over his proper signaiure, expressing $1,50 PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE that desire. That was all that was done.— That mode was adopted because of the necessi ty foi prompt action, and the difficulty of get ting the entire delegation together. I certain knew of no other reason for that course or of any intended indignity to Mr. Wright. But this is of small moment. I em not for a slave code, and never have been ; and nothing I have recently said or done could warrant any such conclusion. I have no patience with men who will not distinguish between an attempt by Congress to establish and maintain the institution of slavery in a- Territory, and the duty of maintaining the con stitutional rights of citizens and protecting pro perty. The vote in the Senate on Friday last ought to be conclusive on this point. The fifth resolution in the aeries proposed by Mr. Davis, in whiclesome affect to find the principles of a slave code, was adopted by a vote of thirty-five yeas to two nays; even the republicans were un willing to vote against a declaration that it is the duty of the Government to maintain the rights of property in the Territories ; whilst Mr. Brown's reeoluton, which avowed the doc trine of • Slave code, reeved but three votes' As for the tariff, I know the wishes of my consiitutents on that subject ; and I shall labor diligently, in season and out of season, with every proper means in my power, to carfy out their will ; and, failing to get all they desire, I shall endeavor to secure the best measure pos sible. _ Very truly, your ob't serv't, WILLIAM BIGLER D.

From the best information we have been able to collect thus far, the track of the torna do extents from the heart of Linn county, lowa, near Cedar Rapids, the present terminus of the Chicago, lowa, and Nebraska Railroad, in a generally northeast direction across Clin ton county, crossing the Mississippi at Coman che and Albany—towns fronting each other respectively on the lowa and Illinois shores— and thence maintaining its course towards the centre of the State, across Whiteside into Lee county, its latest ravages heard from up to present writing being near Lee Centre The entire distance thus traversed is up wards of one hundred miles, and that through a populous and fertile farming region, dotted with thriving towns some of which, as we have below to record, fell in the path of the de stroyer. The tornado seems to have had its origin, as above stated, in Linn county, about sixty miles west of the Mississippi river, about nightfall, its ravages being as far as heard from, in the vicinily of Cedar Rapids. Thence it passed in a direction a little north of east, several times crossing the line of the Chicago, lowa and Ne braska railroad. At Lisbon Station, sixty-four miles west of Clinton, the depot structures were demolished, and a train of ten freight cars standing on the track were lifted bodily Rom their trucks sad dashed to pieces.

Cuarroni, lowa, June 4, 1860.—Last evening a terrible tornado passed over this oountry from Marion, in Linn county, through Cedar and Clinton counties, crossing the Mississippi river at Cattuutche, Iowa; and Albany, 11 IMO The first heard of the tornado was between Marion and Cedar Rapids, in Linn county, go ing from northwest to southeast, in three dif ferrent veins, crossing the track of the C. I and S. R. R., at Lisbon, taking the station house, eating house, and all the warehouses at that station, missing the principle part of the village and killing none there, but before reach ing there we hear of sixteen deaths One vein of the storm passed north of Mechanicsville, demolishing everything in its course and kill ing sixteen persons. The rest took in its course part of Onion Grove, •ol killed two persons, and near Onion Grove it killed fifteen persons It passel South of the railroad near Dewitt, killing twenty-seven persons, sisteen on the faro► of Thomas Hat field, and demolished the residence of G. W Ames. It then passed South of Rmnessa and Low Moore, taking in its course tAe house of David Millard, killing hint and a portion of his family ; also, the house of Thornburg McKin dy and Ralston'', and several others; it' then struck the town of Comanche, demolishing el molt the entire town, and thus occasioning the loss of fifty-five lives west of Clinton. Reports tusking the loss of life much gfeat er, but the bodied have not been found. The tornado struck Comanche about 7 o'clock, I'. M., destroying many fine brick buildings, among which was the Milliard House, kept by H. Sessions, formerly of Erie, Pa. Nut one of the inmates escaped without serious irjury, and Amelia Davis and son, and a daughter of Mr. Sessions, were instantly killed. A brick building four stories in height, built by G W. We•tphall, covered the bodies of eight persons, only one of which, • daughter of Mfr. West phall, three years old, was saved. A large lumber raft from the Chippewa river, manned by a crew of 24 men, and having two women on board, being opposite Cam•nche, was com pletely scattered. Twenty-one mop and the women were lost. A house containing three persons was blown into the river, and immediately crushed on striking the water. Of the thirty-one citizens of Camhnche killed, the greater portion were in brick building. Many sought shelter in the cellars of wooden builings, and in every such instance though the buildings were demolished the persons were saved. The burial of the killed will take place to-morrow. At 10 o'clock P. M., the storm struck the town of Albany, 111., two miles North of es mambo, with full force, destroying every build- ing in the town, although but eve lives were lost, thirty-eve were seriously wounded. At Comanche there are about 125 wounded, some mortally, and 1U persons missing. The citi zens of Clinton and Lyons received the news of the storm at 74- o'clock P. M., when Mr. -Mi lo Smith, Superintendent of the C. 1. and N. R. K., immediately sent a train loaded with gentlemen and ladies to the assistance of the suffering.
