England, Austria and France have agreed up•
on another proposition to Russia, which is

In the Senate yesterdy, Mr. Smith present
ed the resolutions of 'the Connecticut Legisla
ture on the subject of'tbe Nebraska bill and

Connecticut deolares her fixed purpose never to
consent to the admission of slavery into the
territories from which it was excluded by the
act of 1820; or the admission of Slave States
from any portion of that territory.: Mr. Case
hoped - that this meant nothing likethe _Hart
ford Convention, to which Mr. Smith replied
rather tartly, and a long personal -debate be
tween the two Senators ensued. pr. Clayton
offered a resolution, directing the Committee
-on Foreign Relations to enquire into the expo.
diency of restricting the power of American
Comuls residing in the Spanish West Indies
to issue sea letters-on tile--transfer: of Ameri
can vessels in those Islands, so iii3 ; to prevent

opted.

cupied alltlay,with the Nebraska bill. Mr.
Richardson commenced the proceedings by
moving to suspend the, rules, for the
.purpose
of going into pommittee of the IVhole and ta
king nu). the bill, whereupon Mr. Wheeler Biked
leave-to offer a resolution one diffet;ent sub
jeot. Objections ,Of made (worse, and- Mr.
Wheeler moved a suspension of• the rules.for
the purpose, but the speaker deeded Richard
son's motion first in order, - and waif sustained
by the Hotiae; whereupon Mr. Richardson's
motion was agreed to, and the House went in
to Committee. Mr. Ster.hens.,of Georgia,then
moved to strike.out the enacting clause, in Or
der to cut off all amendments. Mr. Chandler,
of Philadelphia, denounced this gag in prop
er. terms but the Speaker decided it in order.
Much confusion then ensued, and many votes
were taken on motions to'adjourn. Finally,
Mr. Stephens' motion to strike out the enact•
ting, clause was rejected, and the previous
question ordered. At half peat eight o'clock,
Mr.,Riehardeon moved hiabubkituto for' the

moved.the previous question. An . hour was
then consumed in reading the bill, after which

POLLOCI ON THE STUMP
The Hollidaysburg IV/11° says,wc learn by a

Whig State Committee, that it is'tkelntention
of Judie Pom.ockolie Whig candidate for
Governor, to devote bib time and energies to
the political contest as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made for that purpose.
Col. CURTIN will accompany him in his tour
through
,the State. Judge PoLf.ocK will
shortly challenge his competitor to meet him
before theleople. and discuss the political
and general questions of the day. We have a
glorious candidate—one that Is able and -will
ing to define his position before the people,
and shrink from no responsibilities. With
Pou.oOk ,nnd CURTIN on the stump we have
no fears of the result. The latter is an able,-
industrious, end gallant Whig, capable of
meeting any Locofoco in the State before the
people. Never in thellistorref the politics
of this State have the riyhips been more sue
cessful M their selection of candidates, and a
spirit prevails among the . rank and file, that

Gadsden 'offered fifty millions of 'dollrs for,a
broadside of Mexican territory, enough to make
five or. six great Staten. This failed, but he
has gong back. Santa Anna is pinched at

their' origin: tilde design is more apparent.-,
Having accepted the nomination conferred, un
der circumstances so flattering to myself, and
cordially tipProvitig the resolutions of the nom
inating Convention, I have neither the will,

THETIIBBIDENOT.-A prominent ex-member
of Congress,- of-the -National Whig school, who
has, recently returned from a tour through
Now England, reports that Bell, of Tennessee
and Houston, of Texas, are favorite can
didates, respectively, of the Whigs and Demo.
crate of that region for the next Preisdenoy.
If Mr. Bell should be nominated, Rufus Cho
ate or Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,
will probably be nominated fat. Vice President
—or perhaps Ogden Hoffman or Geo. Wood,
of New York. Mr. Fillmore, ho is imformed,
does not wish to have his name used imoon..
neotion with the next Presidential canvass;
but will leave the field clear to all competitors
for the honor.
Mn., CABB'B SPEECII,—Mr. Cass_made, late
ly, in the Senate, a long and elaborate speech
'in behalf of the interference of bur'Oevern'-
inent in obtaining religious toleration l for every
American citizen, when abroad: With the a
mount of toleration allowed by each clovena
nient to its own citizens, he had nothing to do,
but he thought it was right for us to claim
that the priiileges which we give to all for
eigners in the exercise of their religion, should
be granted to American citizens wherever re
siding. 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 Secretary of State of Penniylvania, in
accordance with the law recently passed, in
vitee proposals until the first Monday of July,
for the purchase of the Main Line of the Pub
lio Works. 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

MELANCHOLY EVENT.•,
Alight Aftkair 'and its Fatal Result:.
.. 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.
The funeral of young Dunbar took place on
"Monday evening at six o'clock, when his re
mains were attended to the grave by a large
concourse of persons and by the Firo Compa
ny of which ho was a member.'
