Telegraphic Summary. | The Compromise bill, introduced by the Com- mittee of Thirteen, having been defeated, the in- deyer dent bill, for the admission of California alone, was taken up acd discussed by the Senate yester- doy. Mr. Foote oflered an amendment, that Cali- fornia, in the event of her being admitted, sheuld not exercise jurisdiction south of the Missouri Cunpromise line, Which was equivalent to saying | hat that line ought to be extended to the Pacific. | In consequence of the derangement of the wires, | we did not receive the whole of the day’s proceed- ere seems to be a disposition, in certain quar- nu the House to introduce another Compromise ‘or the settlement of the slavery question. Mr. White, of New York, made an attesnpt, yesterday, to ofler @ resolution, appointing a committee of | twenty-one for that purpoge, but without effect, as chjection was made. We perecive that a bill has been reported, estab- ‘lishing @ line of steagisnips between the United | Sistes *™4 Africa. The object of this move- Mept is no doubt to eacourage the new re- public of Liberia, and to forward the emi- gration of free negroes from the United States thither It may bea philanthropic one, but we very much doubt if the negroes will ever be able te get on by themselves. The career of Liberia hav, thus far, been very flattering, but it must not be argued from that, that the megro race are capa- ble of self-government. It owes its success, up to this time, to President Roberts, who is not anegro, but has three-fourths white blood flowing in his veins, and was born free, in “Petersburg, Virginia. However, we are willing to have the experiment tested, and hope that it will be more successful than Hayti, under Faustina the First, which is going beck to barbarism at railroad speed. ‘The Defeat ot Compromise— What Next! We published, in yesterday's Herald, the melan- eboly intelligence that the bill—whieh was con- cocted by the Committee of Thirteen—for the set- Uement of the slavery question in connection with the new territories, was killed in the Senate, at 'W eehington, in epite of the patriotic efforts of Mr. Clay, Gen, Cass, Mr. Webster, Mr. Foote, and other goed men and true, whe devoted themselves, from the commencement of the present session of ‘Congress till the last hour, to its support. Not- ‘withstanding that the bill was introduced and ad- ‘voouted by mea whose character and conduct, through a long course of public life, were above sespicion, the demagogues ef the North and the ultraists of the South, being numerically the etronger party, centrived to dissect and anatomize it, until there was nothing left of it, and then, as if in mockery ef their constituents, and in direct vio- ation of their oft repeated desires, the remnant of it paseed to a third reading, the fragment being no more like the original bill than a Northern abolition fanatics resembles a patriot. In defiance, therefore, of the well-known wishes of the American people, of all parties, and of all sections of the country, i quasi representatives in the Senate of the United Surtes contrived to negative and defeat a measure, which, in the opinion of all rational men, would have been satisfactory to the two sections of the Union most interested, and which would, beyond all peradventure, have restored peace and quiet- ness to the nation, and settled, for all time to com: an agitation which, now, for the second time the brief history of the United States, threatens to a great deal of weight, not only in Congress but throughout the country, and might be passed by both houses during the present session. We, therefore, hope that Mr. Fillmore will, at an early day, take upon"himeelf the responsibility of proposing some method of settling this eternal and everlasting question of slavery, so that we may hear no more talking about disunion, no more | threatenipgs from one section organother, and 80 that the fanatics of the North and the ultras of the South will be silenced. All the old rubbish of the late administration is now cleared away, and the field is clear before him, As the chief magistrate of the country, it would well become him to step in between the rival factions and demagogues of the Northern and Southern States, and restore good feeling between those two sections of the re- public. Although he is a Northern man by birth, we are sure, from all we know of him, that he is as free of extreme Northern fanaticism as he is of Svuthern ultraism, and thet he is just the man to put a quietus to both, and ‘restore harmony and good feeling throughout the republic. Sucha step would add wonderfully to Mr. Fillmore popu- laity, as well as to that of the party of which he is a representative. If it were successful, so much the better for himself, the whig party, and the | country at large; if unsuccessful, he might safely appeal to the people, who would do him justice, and rebuke, in a proper and terrible manner, the fanatics and ultraists that defeated it. Such a course of action on the part of Mr. Fillmore, would, we | are satistied, be attended with the most beneficial | | results, and would dO more than anything else to | silence and quiet the fanaticism which is now ram. | pant, at the North as wellas at the South. Anti-Siavery Faxaticism at raz Nortu—Ano- Tuen ExampLe or 17.—The organ of abolitionism | and Fourierism in this city, contained, yesterday, | in its reading columns, the following extraerdiaary © document, which we beg our readers to peruse and | ponder upon:— Lisenvy—-Equatity—-PRaternity from the prison house of Solthern their friends aad protectors in council Such persons as have ei d from slavery, and thore who are resolved to stand by them, are invited to meet for mutual counsel and encouragement at Cazenovia, Madison county, New York, on Wednesday, 2ist of August, 1860.

GERRIL SMITH, President, Crances B, Rar, Seoretary. By this curious and barefaced prone t¢iamento, it is apparent that there is im this State an organ- ized institution or society, whose object it is to entice slaves from their owners in the Southern States, and to protect and conceal fugitives who may run away from their masters. We do not know that a more insulting or mendacious article ever came under our notice. I[t invites such persons as have escaped from slavery, and those who are resolved to stand by them, to meet, “not simply for an exchange of congratulations,” as we are given to understand, but for the consideration of such subjects as are pertinent to the present prospect and condition of the slave end free colored population of the coua- try. In other werds, the object of the proposed meeting is to deviee additional measures for the purpose of encouraging the slaves of the South to fly from their happy homes, and throw themselves on the protection of the abolition fanatics, who, in return, will allow them to black their boots, or give them the liberty of starving. * - P Now, we would ask all fuir and candid men, what can the Southern States think of the North, when they see published, in a whig organ, this unecrupulous and factious document. They have evidence before them of the existence of an asso- ciation, organized for the express purpose of violat- ing the constitution of the United States, and of, in addition, committing robbery under Southern laws. Is it any wonder that they throw in our teeth the aseertion that the North disregards the constitution; that they act upto it only so far as suite their own purposes, and that they are ever willing and prepared to violate it, for the gratifica- tion of their fanaticism, or the indulgence of an abstract theory of humanity, which cannot see any field for the exercise of its benevolence at home, but must go abroad to discover objects fit for charity and ai nce? We would venture our existence egainst a cocoanut, that there is not an —-Fugitives otism with | produce anarchy, civil war, and bloodshed, if not to destroy the integrity of this great and glorious republic, Thi reely worth the time or trouble to inquire into the causes which produced the defeat of the bill, if, indeed, any inquiry were necessary .jNorthern fa- patical abolitionism on the one side, and a spirit of ul-raism, or extremeism, or any other foul term that may be used, on the other, acting in concert for the purpose of promoting sectional inierests and the personal purposes of Senators, produced the defeat of that conciliatory measure ; although the ‘0 influences are antagonistic to each other, and never would have joined, but with the hope of pro- ducing a state of asarchy, out of which, it was ex- pected, one or the other would arise and reach of- fice and] power. A more disgracefal preceeding the world never yet saw, and if retribation be not eventually inflicted on the Senators, both Northera | and Southern, who, by their united activa, con- trived to defeat the Compromise bill, nothing of history, or of the temper or dispovition of the American people. The disgrace which at- | tached to all who participated in the celebrated Hartford convention, is nothiag to the +tigms whieh will rest upon those Senators who cora'iard to neutralize the only measure proposed, siuce the opening of Congress, that would settle the elavery agital in a manner satisfactory to all parties, and oll eeetions of the country This measore, therefore, having been defeated, the question is, what is to be done neat, or is there any probatality thet any other measure, be it ever fo comprehensive, of evereo conciliatory, could be j brought forward, that would pass both houses } of the presemt Coagress, and dispose, for ever, | of this wafortanate and much to be regretied slavery agitation. We think the best thiag thet could be done, is for Mr. Fillmore to propese a measace of adjustmen!—a measure baeed on compromise, aad of each a character as would ercure for it the eupport of the moderate and ra tional of ail classes of the community, North aa | weilae South. Me. Fillmore is recegnized as a patriot, and a man of sterling integrity, throughout the Union. He wae placed upon the ticket with | Gen. Taylor with a twofold motive—to fill the | office of Vieg President, and, in eave of the decease of the old Geaeral, to oecupy the Presi tential seat. | He was elected by the same voters who elected Gen, Taylor. The whig party, having been de- ceived in Captain Tyler, were more careful ia no- muinating a Vice-President at the ensuing conven- tion. Mr. Fillmore, therefore, wae nominated for both offices—of that of Vice-President in case Gea Teylor should survive his term, and if he unforta- nately should not, that of President also. Although, therefore, Mr. Fillmore would not now be Presi- dent bat for the untimely decease of the venerable General Taylor, yet the contingency of Gen Tay- lore death wes not overlooked in Mr Pillmore’s nomination a* Vice-President. He is, therefore, | the elected President of the United States, and was elevated by the same classes as those who voted | for ond elected Gen. Taylor. In this view, we | think, » proposition to settle the slavery qaestion, eqpaneting from Mr. Fillmore, would carry with it I we know | negroes, would give freedom to one of them, with- out receiving beforehand his market value ** in cash or approved acceptances,” from the biggest of them down to the emallest. And, notwithstanding that we have this evidence of such a society existing in our mi we heara great deal about Southern fanati time will come when these destructives will have justice meted out to them. Tur Starry Sessions or Tur Common Councit, akp Tue Puxirication or tux Crry —The stated session of the Common Council, for August, com- mences on Monday evening next. It is stated that only the most urgert business will be acted upon, and that both boards, after two or three sittings, will adjourn till the session for September. It is to be hoped that among the most urgent business taken up, the purification of the city, so long neglected, will come first, and not be put off for another month.

A most frightful accident occurred om the New York and Erie Railroad, about one o'clock on Wed- nesday, which resulted im s great destruction of pro- perty, and loss of life. The freight traia from Owego, for Piermont, was precipitated im the Delaware river, in consequence of the falling of the iron bridge, om the Musgalong Oreek about | three miles{from Lackawaxen, There were seventeen cars, containing 130 beef cattle, 500 sheep, and 200 hogs, all intended forthe market of this city. The lo- comotive passed safely over the bridge, but the tm- mense weight of the train of cars was more than the strength of the bridge could bear, aud the whele was thrown Into the river below—a distance of 70 feet— killing nearly all the stock, and five men who were on the cars, besides seri®usly injuring the conductor and | brakeman, But twenty-five cattle and one hundred sheep were sayed from the whole live stock on the traim, Henry Clapp, aged 19 years, in charge of the hogs axd sheep, from Merton, Obie, and Mr. Bondall, | in charge of the cattle, from Corning, New York, were | among those killed. It is probable that several more | were killed, but it isimpossible to tell, asthe carsandthe | stock completely fill up the place, whieh is only about 60 feet wide, The engineer and fireman, as soon as they | saw the bridge giving way, jamped from the locomo- tive, which was stopped, in cousequence of the water- tank becoming detached and one of the steam pipes | breaking. The conductor and brakeman were brought to Port Jervis en Wednesday night, where they remain in a very critical condition. The whole damage, in- cluding the destruction of the bridge, is estimated at $20,000. The bridge was examined but a few days be- fore by the railroad inspector, and was pronounced per- feetly safe. The trains from the Bast and West, which met at the place of the aecident, exchanged passen- gers. About two hundred men were engaged on Wednesday afternoon, in clearing away the ru’ endeavoring to extricate the men and animals. The cattle were owned by James Gilchrist, of Brunswick, Ohio, The Musgalong is in Pennsylvania, beyond Port Jarvis, and three miles beyond the Lackawaxen, ACCIDENT ON THE HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD.

Much has been said, and many inferences drawn, as to the mcde im which this woman effected her escape. As far as we were enabled to learn, the plan which effected her escape was as follows :—A woman by name of Dobbins, wite of Thomas Dobbins, « labo: maa, re- sicing in Essex street, was a) and confined in the Tombs on s charge of drunkenness. Ilere it was that Margaret O'Copnor became acquainted with Mrs. Dob- bins. and, before Mrs Dobbins left the prison, apie was tMurgeet») cape, fer which ernie argatet rast M.
