AN EXPLANATION—FREE TERMITORY. Mr. Hamuin—I wish to correct 8 report in the Nation- al Intelligencer. Mr, Roor—I object. We've got through with the rule Ibeheve.

The rule to which he refers prevents a momber from making Ken on the plea o! asking to be excused ‘rom voting. Mr. Hamiin, after reading the report of his remarks in the National Intelligencer, said that he was called away about the time the proviso to the Oregon bill was pind and therefore did not sufficiently apprehend its scope. It was true he was in favor of limiting the extension of slavery, but not in favor of recognising the Missouri compromise as applicable to the territory, because the comprom se had nothing to do with it. He also said that the people of the north were opposed to the extension of slavery beyond its present limits; but not that they would ‘not suffer it to exist there.” He desired to leave the subject where it was, so far as concerned the States, | one not to interfere with the compromise of the Consti- tution. PAUERRS AND CRIMINALS, Mr. Seaman, in pursuance of previous notice, i ducod a billto prevent the importation of paupers and criminals into the United States; and it was referred to | the Committee on the Judiciary. | ‘The bill, substantialiy, requires a certificate from the | consul at the port of embarcation that the person apply- ing for it i# not a pauper or @ criminal; and imposos a penalty onthe captain of a vessel, if he bring into tho | United States a person without such certificote. no |} would tell the North ‘that the South ore united ; there is no traitor here or at home.

It was charged in the New York Tribune, on the 18th of August last, that he and his col- ‘ue (Mr. Wick) voted against Mr. Wilmot’s proviso. st was not the fact. He was opposed, totally and en- tireiy, to the bill which was. intreduced at the last ses- to place under the direction of the President two millions, wi:h e view toa treaty with Mexico, not satisfied that there was as jent reason He voted for the Wilmot proviso, #0 as to the bill odious tothe South. If,asthe gentleman from South Carolina this morning, we have gained a terri- tory, he (Mr. Pettit) was y to hear it, for he had al- ways thought we had parted with territory. We were told by the President and his cabinet counsel that our ti- tle to the whole of it was ‘clear and unquestionable,” but, notwithstanding, we have been cut down to forty- nine (losing five degrees and forty minutes) ‘and have confirmed and surrendered a part of it to British | “That's clearand unquestionable.” Yes. No man was farther from disturbing coy 4 State in the possession of her rights than he was. The States have a right to regulate their domestic concerns; but the ter:itory is the proper- ty of the United States, and where there is this pro- perty there is sovereignty. Mr. Ruetr—Do | understand the gentleman to say, that wherever the government owns property, it has the sovereignty ? Mr. Pertit—I say where the government owns the soil, and where its rights are not surrendered, it has ex- clusive power. , Mr. Rurtr—Does not the government own land in In- diana ? and does it exercise exclusive power ? , Mr. Perrir—I will repeat. Wherever there is the right of soil in this government, or in any other govern- ment, absolute sovereigaty exists, until surrendered — This government has surrendered sovereignty to territo- ries, Py admiting 1h 8 free and independent States. Mr. Ruetr tool eat. Mr. Pertit—We have no right to make a slave, but can prohibit slavery where it does not exist. It is too late, in this age of the world, for any nation to conquer free territory and enslave and manacle therein. He would rather see no territory acquired than see it con- quered that slavery might exist there. He would not vote for amy measure that would tend {to extend slavery, be- lieving it a curse to mankind. He had no particu lar love, nor sickly, fawning feeling for tho black. He believed that the negro, the black race, (and he said it loud enough to be under stood) have been placed in a favorable condition. and is, a blessing to them that they have been, i enslaved ‘They are better off than their ancestors were on the burning sanas of Atrica There is no donht of it. Though there be exceptions, they are infinitely better off, in the relation of master and slave, than if they were freo. To mako use ofa vulgar saying, a dog once bit a man. The animal was mad. The occurrence was in Islington.

Mr. Boro movified resolution, extending the time to three o'clock; and in this form it was adopted THE OREGON TERRITORY—SLAVERY—THE ORDINANCE OF | 1787 OF THK UNION. The House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the con- sideration of the bill to establish the territorial govern- ment of Oregon. The question pending, was onthe amendment of Mr. | Burt, viz:— insert after the word “and,” and before the word i,” the words “inasmuch as the whole of the said ‘Territory lies north of thirty-six degrees and thirty mi- nutes north latitude, known as the line of the Missouri ,’ the following section: |.

If wo shriak fromit to-day, it e with reaewod force to-morrow. The settle- ment ot the Oregon controversy, dumng the last session, was a signal tiumph of moderation ani justice over passien and pride. By the treaty we acquired from tho forty second to the forty-ninth parallel of latitude ; we obtained a country with an area sutticlent for the forma- tion of four or five States of medium size. It is acoun- try of many and important advantages ; of mild and ge. | nial climate, anda generous and tertile soil. A portion of itis adapted to the growth of the staplos, tobacco, and cotton. It will command the commerce ot Asia, India, of Japan, and the islands of the South Sea. Its po: sition with regard to the Pacific Ocean is as eminently adi tageous as that of the States towards the Atlantic ithas great miueral resources. it was capable of a dense population, and designed to be the home of an enterprising peopic. We are about to estabiish for it a temporary gov ent, toendure only until its popula. tion and Congress shail consent that the territory shall | become a State. The population aro sparse and mixed ; they have no representative on this floor. It is now pro- posed to apply the conditions and restrictions of the or- | dinance of 1737. “The opinion of its inhabitants are alike unkown and unheeded, and they have not been con- | sulted on this quostion. ‘Slavery does not exist in that | territory ; he did not know thata slave will ever makea | foot print on its soil. if the article of 1787 be adopted, it | will be an eternal interdict on slavery in that territory.

Of this there have been admitied into the Union tho States | of Ohio, ludiana, Ulinois, and Michigan. Wisconsin | will soon be admitted, perhaps before the termination of | the present session. As far ashe was able to perceive, there was not the sligetest authority for the ordiaance of 1787. It was unjust and proscriptive to Virginia and | other Soutiern states. It was never ratified by Vir- Sinia ; no act can be adduced which countenances this Aaterpoiation on the conditions of her grant—that the Ststea to So formed shalt have the same rights as the other States.

Politics—Whigs—Abolitionists, $c.—Naval—The New York Herald—Tirrell—The Weather, $c. Mr. Cushing, of Newburyport, yesterday forenoon, submitted his report on the resolve appropriating $20,000 out of the State Treasury towards equipping the regi: ment of Massachusetts volunteers; and on his motion, by the unanimous request of the committee, the considera. tion of the resolve and report, was specially assigned for Monday next. It was also ordered that the report be printed. Who would have believed that a party of one, (for Mr. Cushing has declared that he belongs to no par- ty, but is, himself, alone!) I say who would have be- lieved that ony man on his own hook, would have been able to have forced this measure upen the consideration of the Massachusetts Legislature, composed as it is over- whelmingly of whigs, abolitionists, abolition-democrats, and the fag ends of every other party, all inimical to the war?

A DEFREGATION OF THE AGITATION OF THE SLAVERY Question. Mr. Dovetass.—Gentiemen say vote it down. I de- precate the agitation of this question at any time and at all times, as it must produce excitement and discussion, and may lead to fearful consequences. I will be ready to meet the question, however, when it does properly arise. It is not right to force on the conntry now, pre- maturely, whether slavery or not shall exist in Oregon. ‘The only question was whether the Missouri comprom- ise shall be recognised in this tct. The discussion has not been in favor of slavery there; it has not been a war for the prohibition of slavery in the territory; it has only been to incorporate in the section of the bilt rohibiting. slavery, according to the ordinance of 1787, a real son that this is permitted because the Missouri compromise is to bs adhered to. The question of slavery will come up, probably, on the bill to furnish iar for carrying on war. If not on that, onthe bill appropriating two millions with a view to peace, as introduced by Mr. of New York.

[Knock, knock ] Gentlemen did as they were requested ; and Mr. McCuentanp observed, in the course of his remarks that he was opposed to introducing the question of sla. very, as it had a tendency to divide our counsels and strength, perhaps disgrace us, in the prosecution of the war. He had expressed himself, publicly and privately, against agitating the question. Why will gentlemen rush on the bosses of destruction? He was opposed to all inter- ference with slavery in the slave holding State: men had no power to interfere with them, und visions of the constitution. He believed that Congress had power over the subject in its own territory.

The House adjourned, to resume the subject to- morrow Pattapenruta, Jan. 16, 1817. About 6 o'clock yesterday evening, a fire broke out in the drying house attached to the extensive calico print ing establishment of Briggs & Quicksa!l, in the adjoining borough of Frankford, which soon involved the whole building, 100 feot in length, in flames, and before it could be got under, the adjacent dying house, of the same div mensions, was also destroyed. Their contents, consisting of valuable machinery, and a large umount of material in the various stagesjof manufacture, was also consumed slate. It is estimated that the loss will amount to $20,000 at least, but it is fully covered. This establishment was the most extensive one in the State, and a large number of hands have been turned out of employment by this occurrence. Four persons have been arrested by some officers of the City Police, and all but one committod by the mayor, on suspicion of counterfeiting and participating in two forgeries perpetrated beet 2 two years since. Their names are, Dr. Lungren, alias Scott, alias Jones, Benja- min Pratt, Julia Wade, and Rebecca Cherry. The offi- cers{were in pursuit of the first named, but finding all the above named persons at the house of Julia Wade, rested the whole party. Over $13,00 was found onthe person of Lungren, in counterfeit notes of the Wilming- ton and Branjywine Bank. 5 if Jat Morten, now a con in the State concerned in these forgeries along with Lungren, the police have been on tho look out for tne I for a long period.
