His plan is to make this demand of •, Governments.andle include it in all future treaties. It wae.netraerely Protestant tolera tion that he demanded, but a toleration that, should bo extended to Catholics in Protestant countries and even to Jews, provided they were American citizens.

The nia , jority suggest no other subject, talk upon no other subject, insist upon no other subject, and propose to do nothing , upon any other sub.jeot. ,It is Slavery, Slavery, Slavery, new and always and nothing else. Slavery in Nebraska, Sla very -on Butikor UM, Slavery in Cuba. Slavery everywhere. Mr. Pierce and, his Cabinet and special friends breakfast, dine and sup on Sla very. They live and move and have their be ing in Slavery. , They bathe in it and wipe 'themselves dry with it. Nigger owning, nig ger driving, nigger catching, and nigger breed ing, constitute their sole political capital, and engross all their time nod all their thoughts. The one topic of their Congressional orator, of their central organ, and , of their countryt newspapers, is niggers in Nebraska, nigyera in, the South,,iiiggers in Cuba, free emanoipatios, i patios, domesticTairVititti , appreptioos, Africanization, Cuba, iritilicidinzicand tifi; West Indies.

No bid will be, received for less than ten millions of dollars. In consequences of the reduction of tolls by the Canal Commis sioners, it is feared that no sale, can be effect ed. The bill authoriziLig a sale alley/a the purchasers to charge the same tolls as those charged by the State. The Canal Board, how ever, very unexpectedly reduced the rates of charges about 20 per cent. before the bill was signed by the Governor, and had become slew —and thereby frustrated the' design of the Legislature. To remedy the evil consequence. of this unforeseen net of the Canal Board, a bill was introduced near the close of the ses sion to empower the Company purchasing the main line to' increase the tolls 10 per cent.— This bill went through the . Senate and was sent to the House; but that body refused to pro ceed to its consideration. By this reduction of the toll sheet, the Canal BoarcAave . not only, jeopardized the sale of the Maintine,but have caused a vast reduction of the State re venues. The fact is, the State plunderers are determined that the public works shall not be sold if they can help:it, and Gov. Bigler backs them up in this resolve. • To get rid of the works, therefore, it first becomes necessary to throw off the 'cooties who grow rich upon MORE DERT.—The Legislature appropriated at its last session, the sum of $210,000 for the completion of the,North Branch Canal ; $605, 703 for avoiding the Inclined Planes over the Allegheny railroad, and for commencing the the renewal of the South Track of the Colum bia railroad about, $200,000. These sums will make an eggregato of more than a million of dollars, over and above the amounts required to defray the ordinary 'expenditures on , the Public! WOrks I The aggregate amount is very large, and will far exceed the revenues for the year,. TOE FIVST CABs.—The application of Geo.

A feeling of, deep and painful excitement, . %rob caused initiutedminunity on Sunday min ! , Ding last by the / Announcement that an affray had taken place. on the streets at a late hour oi l iliiturday-bighti which-had rdsultqd in the death of a young man named ICEt:INUDY DUN nAn, and,that another young man named Erni:l/ant MolifunnAy, , bal c been arrested as the perpetrator of the hemicido. The connected with this deplorable event, na l clearly.ne, we have been abletito,as certain them, are about as follows. % McMur ray and a companion, named Roberts wdre standing on the pavement near the corner of pomfret and Titt streets, listening tp some music in a neighboring house. They had been there but a few minutes when. a party of sev eral intoxicated and noisy young men came along who soon evinced a determination, to stop and quarrel. But a few words pfisSeci before a violent assault was commenced on Roberts first and then MoMuiirrN, both of them being almost felled to the grouhrinjuler a succession of blows. McMurray was , striick: twice or three times, as was testified before, the Coroner's jury which subsequently investigated the matter, before he struck back, which he finally, did with a knife, in. dieting a fatal-wound in the breast of Dunbar, QUO of his assailants. The fight then termi anted and the' parties separated, McMurray and Roberta returning to their boarding-house that without being - aware i - tiny serious injury had been done, while Dunbariindldoconipalt, ions' went in a different direction. After walking a short distance it is said Dunbar in formed his associates that he hod been stab bed. He Was theii taken into a neighboring hoUse find upon examination his wound found to be of a most serious character. Medical assistance was procured, but after extreme suffering he died in a little over two hours. The Coroner, Mr. Thompson, being appris ed of the terrible occurrence, proceeded at six o'clock on Sunday morning to arrest Nlcldur ray, whom ho found at his boarding house and delivered into the custody of the Sheriff. A jury was then summoned to ,hold an inquest upon the body of the deceased. A numbei of witne4ses were examined, and after due in-' vestigation the jury returned as their verdict that the deceased came to his death from a wound inflicted by a knife in the hands of Ephraim McMurray, but whether with a felo nious intent or not the jury didliot assume.to decide, , On Sunday afternoon the accused was .removed by the Sheriff to the Dauphin County l'rison at Harrisburg, to await• his 'trial in August next. As the whole ease is in the hands of tbo law it would be improper in us to discuss the sub ject, or perhaps to express an — opinion as to what extent this deplorable homicide may be shown to be justifiable or excusable. Some collateral circumstances may however be al luded to,'and that a wanton and violent as, sault was commenced by the deecas - ed.and his associates, seems to be - Olcarly shown. In iconiPany with eevertif other young men,' we are informed, McMurray had, been drink ing at an earlier hour in the evening. The party had however dispersed and Moilfurray had 'gone home about eleven o'clock. His mother keeps a boarding_house for. College students, and he remained in the room of one of the students for some time until their atten tion was attracted by the music inn neighbor ing house. In company with Roberts he went to listen to this music and while standing upon the pavement for this purpose the conflict which has had such a melancholy and tragic termination—fatal to the one and desolating to the happiness of the other—took place. He was absent from his home but about ten or fifteen minutes. Teat he left it with any such deadly design as be suddenly became the un happy means of accomplishing, can scarcely be credited. The accused is a Printer by profession and bas worked at different periods in this office. Our knowledge of him form number of years past enables us to speak confidently of the general excellence of his character, disposition and personal deportment. Although not yet twenty-one years of age lie has during the last and preceding winter, been a teacher in the publio'schools of the townships of Allen anti West Penusboro, and,'us \vo understand, so• quitted himself. in the capacity of a teacher with great credit, while be won at the same time trie friendly regard of those Who employ ed him. This melancholy event, by which two aro bowed down in sorrow, naturally exel 7 toil a profound sensation in our community. As ,will be seen, that fell cause of more than WO the misery that exists on earth, ardent spirits—has had its share in this mournful tragedy—may beAtt fact regarded as the prime moving cause.
