y The proposition of Mr. Bright to decide the pre- sent question of slavery in newly acquired territory by an extension of the line of the Missouri com- promise to the Pacific, on the terms of that com- pact, is the only means by which the danger of an acrimonious sectional conflict, which now me- naces the integrity of the Union, can be averted. ‘The extreme partes of the North and the South are not now sufficiently cool to hearken to the dic- tates of reason. Argument on the question is vain, Each seems to consider his own construction of the constitution as the only safe and correct one. Precedents are—perhaps wisely—disregarded.— The South is divided into two parties, as well as the North. There is the South Carolina party, who deny that any power on earth, either territo- rial or fedesal, can hinder a citizen taking his slaves into newly acquired territory and holding them therein as property ; and thére-is the Missie- sippt party, who believe that with the question of slavery in newly,acquired te! tory, Congress has, no Tight to interfere, but that it is for the people of such territory to decide for themselves whether or not they shall permit it to exist. At the North, on the other hand, the Wilmost proviso men believe that Congress has power to prohibit the introduc- ton of slavery into newly acquired territory, and that it is right and fitting it should; while the Cass men do not differ matertally from the doc- trine that obtains in Leanne : Now it would take aqury Solons to say which party isin the right. The positions of exch are sustained by plausible reasoning. One party ap- peals to the ordinance ot ’87, which the opposite party declare is of no binding force, having been procured by questionable means, and being of more proveer i expediency. Each party loses itself in a maze of contradictory authorities, and Madi- son is quoted against Madison, Jefferson against ‘Jefferson, the “Federalist” against the “Federal- ist,” until one is led 10 the conclusion that prece- = is utterly valueless, and argument of no va- idity. 2 a | This chaotic state of public opinion the politi cians wish to fuse into a new means of acquiring power. If their selfish efforts, together with the conflict of opinion which divides the, country, be permitted to shape themselves into action, the con- uence will be the erection, on the ruins of the old parties, of a most dangerous antagonism be- tween the North and the South. The end of such a struggle, it is fearful to contemplate. This cry of ‘free territory,” is a most inflammatory engine in the hands of talented and unscrupulous men. If they weve actuated by a deep conscientious feel- ing on the subject, their efforts would be much less tobe dreaded ; but to speak of conscience, in con- nection with the names of the leaders of the pre- sent movement in the North, would be a mockery, at which they themselves would laugh loudest. Their efforts spring from two motives—revenge, and self-sggrandisement. . ; i It being impossible, then, to decide this question by, rational ment, both from the great diffi- culty of the subject, and because the public mind will reject all appeals to judgment ; and great dan- ger existing that if it be not speedily adjusted in some manner, the politicians will use it to the. great detriment of the public weal—the only mode of avoiding the manifold dangersthat menace the stability of the Union, is to effect an amicable compromise of the difficulty, on terms which have before now been agreed upon for the adjustment of a similar qnestion.. The North should be satisfied with the terms of the Missouri compromise. By that compact slavery aud involuntary servitude are forever prohibited north of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, leaving the existence of the institution south of that line to the inhabitants to decide, ac- cording to their views and interests. There is ood reason to hope that this proposttice will pass the Senate. What may be its fate in the other house, is a problem. e 4 Mr. Benton and Mr. Dix find themselves ina very peculiar position. Mr, Benton’s ardent parti- sanship for Mr. Van Buren is well known ; and to find himself now opposed to him at the close of his political career, must be extremely painful Mr. Dix has pledged himself to use no effort against Mr. Cass, and as it is by no means for his interest that Mr. Van Buren should succeed, he. will, doubtless, like a true friend, endeavor to injure the latter us much as possible in private. That he should take sides openly with either, is not to be expected from Mr. Dix. Ga.viEnsis. ‘Wasntnaton, June 28, 1843. General Cass’s Extra Pay—Flare-up among Members from South Carolina. The whigs have seized upon an item, with which alone, they say, they can defeat General Cass. It is insisted that, while he was Governor of Michigan, he received from the United States quadruple pay, or four times more than he was entitled to, in the way of extras; and they go so far as to say that, during forty years’ political life, he received twenty-one dollars for every day, Sundays included. “On the strengsh of this asser- tion, Andrew Stewart, in the House, to-day, asked leave to introduce a resolution (as will be seen from your correspondent’s despatch), calling upon the President to certify as to thé fack It was the occasion ot a pleasant little excitement, and an amendment to call likewise for a statement of all the moneys received by General Taylor. This subject will come up on Monday, according to the notification of Mr. Stewart. ° Mr. Holmes, of South Carolina, walked into our friend Mr. Polk, and hit Mr. Walker, for not urging the erection of a new custom-house at Charleston. He came out for General Taylor, spurning the eccupant of the much coveted White House. Mr. Sims, of the same State. replied to him sharply ; and Mr. Woodward, his colleague, said a few words in conclusion. ‘The time on the General Appropriation Bill was altogether occu- pied by these gentlemen from the Palmetto. Wasuineton, June 25, 1848. The Senate—The Proviso--The Presidency—Inte- resting Sttuation of Colonel Benton. When the wooden horse was admitted into Troy, it was found to be fall of men, armed to the teeth. So of this Wilmot proviso. . It has got into the Senate—its armed men are there; and though the horse may be thrown out, the warriors will re- main in the citadel. Mr. Berrien.spoke to-day on the subject, deny- ing the power of Congress to exclude slavery from the territories of the Union, and entered into an elaborate legal refutation or opposite interpre- tation, of the legislative acts and judicial deci- sions quoted by Mr. Dix in his speech of Monday jast. We should like to hear Thomas Corwin on this subject, in connection with the Presidential con- test. The most virulent denouncer of the war— the most emphatic in proclaiming its injustice and unconstitutionality—extending his opposition even to voting against the supplies—the most decided “free soil” advocate—the most inveterate opponent of slave extension—the fixed, inflexible enemy of Presidential aspirants whose claims are brought from the well won fields af Mexico—we expect ry great, peculiar speech, if Mr. Corwin shall mpt to reconcile these things with his advocacy of old Rough and Ready for the Presidency. We fo that he and Mr. Giddings consider them- selves as whigs first, and as abolitionists only when circumstances will suit. Or, peradventure, Mr. Co@win, finding that he went too far in his re- nowned speech on the Mexican war, seizes the present occasien for.such atonement as he may be able to make. But the situation of Mr. Corwin is not half so in- teresting as that of Col. Benton. Mr. Crutchett feels some.at the taking down and casting aside his sis pole and lantern. The night before the Navy Yard boutswain went up on the dome, to make his arrangements for easing down that im- mense hemlock and its prodigious lantern, said lantern was illuminated for the last time. casting its beams for maay a mie around. So of Col. Benton; standing atthe top of the demo- c nominations, he casts his beams of apPfobation all over the regiomround about, like Crutchett’s lantern. But the letter of Mr. Van Buren takes him down. He hardlyceturns from his ratification of Gen, Cass, in Philadelphia and New York, when this letter of his ‘ol end and pitcher” comes in upon him. For eigin long years the great end of Col. Benton has been to.ge- cure the re- jon of Mr. Van Buren. He was ruled out in ’44—Col. Benton rebelled for a while; but assented at we to necessity, looking with a hope where all others had ceased to hope, to the renomination of Mr, Van Buren in 1848, Of course je failed again. Then, believing that the case was x at the day and the hope of Mr. Van Buren we he promptly adopted his friend Gen whom he had watched with vigi- lane: and no great partiality, and im upon the democracy of the North. The question will insinuate itself, would Col, Benton have gone to the North, with Gen.

The New York Taylor Ratification—Southern Mail Memortal—Mechanics’ Fuir—Barnburners’ No- mination, &c. The telegraph, yesterday, was made to report that the whig ratification meeting at New York, on Tuesday night, was distinguished by union, harmony and enthusiasm; that the Clay whigs joined heartily in the rally for “ Till and Fill,” and that New York city was good for ten thousand majority. The Herald of Wednesday morning, however, developes the truth with regard to the matter, and is conclusive proof that Henry Clay was, and still is, the first choice of nine-tenths of the whigs of the Union. A memorial is in circulation here, addressed to Congress, praying that the Southern mail may be restored as speedily as possible to the old mail route. The old hunker Mechanics’ Association, of Baltimore, are preparing for their Mechanics’ Fair, which will come off in October next. The fair recently held, was by the barnburner mechan- ics, who could not wait the tardy movements these old gentlemen in black. The check .hir fair was a must creditable undertaking ; and it remains to be seen whether the silk glove gentry will be able to excel it. Bhat % This section of the country was visited with a delightful fall of rain last evening, lasting from seven to ten o’clock, which has cooled the air, and I doubt not has been of incalculuble benefit to the corn, potato and oat crops. The fact that Mr. Van Buren has accepted the nomination of the barnburners, gives shee dissa- Ustaction to his old political triends in these parts. They consider it as_an assurance that the whig “free soil” men will not vote for the barnburners’ candidate, and that the defection will be entirely in their own party. They argue that if the nomi- nation had fallen on any one else, the whigs would have joined in the defection. from such consi- rated purpose of plundering the treasury. rore to repel the suspicion that South Carolina shas sunk ao low, or become so degencrate as to renounce her principles for a scramble in a division of the spoils It was gross heresy in his colleague. His colleague spoke of Mr. Van Buren as a just and distinguished ci- tizen, “Can I,’ asked Mr. Sims. draw from this the interence that if Mr. Van Buren is not his first choice for the Presidency, he is his second?” Mr. Ho.acs was understood to reply—I am not among those who sung hosannabs to Mr. Van Buren, and are now ready to forswear and to denounce him, Mr. Sims—Does my colleague intend the remark for me personally, or not ? Mr. Hotmrs—I never bap “dg rani especially to- wards colleague. Mr, Sims said that when Mr. Van Buren was in office, and discharged his duties with ability and faithfalness, Mr. Holmes withheld the meed of pr: If he (Mr. Sims) had refused to laud him when he wi carrying out proper doctrines, he should not speak of him in praise now that his position was reversed. He regretted that he had felt it to be his duty to respond to the misreprosentation of a portion of the people of South Carolina, Although his colleague disclaimed asking anything but justice, he placed his constitu- rend in the posi se tad of a crouching mendicant on this Purvavecenia, June 29, 1848. Accrdents—Trials for Murder, §c. Henry McQuigg had his arm horribly crushea last evening on the Columbia railroad, near Broad street. He was standing on the forward car when the locomotive was suddenly disconnected, and he was thrown on to the track by the jar. He was taken to the hospital, where the arm was ampu- tated at the shoulder joint. ‘ A son of Benjamin Barger, about eight years of age, was drowned last evening while bathing in the Delaware, near the Navy yard. Bechtel, the insane man who recently murdered his wife, and Bew, the one who murdered a fel- low prisoner in the Moyamensing prison, a few weeks since, were both brought up before the Court of Oyer and Terminer this morning, to have their cases disposed of. The latter, after the exa- mination of a few witnesses, was declared to be insane by the jury, and will be sent to the insane department of the Alms House. The trial of Bechtel for the murder of his wite, was then pro- ceeded with. It hae not coee concluded yet, but the result in this will doubtless be similar to the other. jor. Mr. Houstxs—Do J understand my colleague to say that the memorialists place themselves in the position of a crouching mendicaut ? Mr. Sims—No, sir.
