Mr. Ctavtoy, (K.N.) of Del., said this report was made { answer toa resolution submitted by him some time ‘ago. He desired to cal! attention to the document, because {t completely refuted the ground upon which the Prest- dent based his veto of the French Spoliation bill. The weto rested on ihe assumed basis that the claims for ‘gpoliations were all examined and allowed under the ‘treaty of 1803, but this document discloses the fact, taat ® far from thie, they were excluded, for the reason that 3 WOuld bave nothing to do with them. when it was before the Senate, being a mem- ber of the}elect Committee of which Mr. Daniet Webster was Mr. Webster took no part in the matter. Mr. Clayton, being second on the committee, iuvestigated the subject and reported a bill, which, contrary to the ‘expectations of many of its friends, passed both houses By decided majorities, but unfortunately encountered the weto of P’reeident Polk. Afterwards another bill, similar ‘to that, pasred Congress, and was vetood by Presi {ent Fierce. The latter veto was not based upon the same former; and avy Senator who would take to examine the document now before the se ¢ would see that the whole foundation of Mr. Pierce's veto was angerror in fact.

He then alinded to the paseage of the compromise measures of 2860, whieh were called finality measures, and said the democratic party had put the pre-ent administration tuto ower upon a platform pledving them to resist slavery @yitation. He did not kno to resist, awhether with bladgeous wever, they Gad no right to reviet the subject pertat i here to resist all a comitesa course ot Senator, nor a bt ee blarkgra 4 ‘The Cuai called Mr. Pugh to order; and, proceediag swith bis remarks, Mr. Pron satt Sir, Wade had no right to charge him ‘with loving s'a very ane hating liberty.

The House, more true to freedom than the Senate, sent a commission thither, whose report es. tablishes these facts beyond all question. The day for Compromises has ended. Mr. Toone—I1 am glad of it.

The form of the bill might not be al IF Satisfactn'y to the gentleman, but it is offered to him in a liberal spfrit Yet he has declar position of Mr, Wilson would increase, to a boundless ex- tent, the existing evils. He (Mr. Crittendon) would com- promise to the last moment of time, provided they could preserve the origival principles on which the government was erected. .e present crisis demanded of every Senator serious and solemn consideration, He earnostly appealed to gentlemen to come forward in a liboral —_, and do justice to all sections of the country. He almost despaired when those from whom he had expected so much seemed disposed to do 0 little. Mr. Ciavron gaid he bad served long in public life, but never, from the first day that he entered this hall, had he believed the country in as much dapger as now. His desire was to offer gentlemen on both sides compro- mize. Alaat day they had heard a word dear to the American statesman treated with levity. They had been told that the time for compromise was passed. If go the period of duration of this republic is gone. The constitution of the United States was a compromise. Every bill is acompromise. Men could not live in civil seciety or private life without compromise. If we have arrived at the determination that we will never com- promise again, we might as well throw our constitution to the winds. In a spirit of compromise he had introduced a bil’ t» abrogate all laws in Kansas manifestly unjust, including those regulating elections, requiring an oath to suppert the fugitive slave law and abridging the liberty of specch and the press. He explained his propo- sition, and predicted that if the bill now pending should become a law, the application of Kansas for admission as 8 State into the Union next session, would produce an ex- citement greatly exceeding the fury and violence of 1820. He preferred that Kansas should undergo pupilage before her admission as a State. Mr. Haix said, one objection he had to the bill was, that he was not willtng to entrust its execution to the pre sent executive, in whom he had not the slightest confi- dence. If the Senator from Kentucky had such a high opinion of compromises—that they will come with heal- ing on their wings to the whole nation—if such is his be- lief ag to What compromise will do, why, was it not the first dictate of patriotism, prudence and justice to see what the effect will be of restoring the great compromise of 1820. He believed with Mr. Crittenden, that these were perilous times. Mr. Toomns believed that Mr. Seward and his coadju- tors wanted grievances of discord and nothing but revo- lution to obtain power, He would offer to the country the evidence of these facts. When he (sir. Toomos) sub- mitted the pure bailot box with all that bouor could throw around it—with the entire force of this ae Cron Bee protect it—he was met b tender from ir. Wilson, backed by Mr. Seward, of the cartridge box. If he believed they’ represented ‘the feel of the North be Would withdraw bis bill and accept issue. If he believed the free States were ready for that, he wouid be content. He had no compromise to offer, but principic—but he did not believe that these mon here re- presented the feelings of the North. He did not know what claim they had to speak for the North. He had no Svigher law.” He despised the man who bad. He looked upon him asa wretch who would steep his con- science in perjury in order to get advantages of place. Mr. Bicixr, (dem.) of Ca., could scarcely imagine that Mr. Wilson's amendment was to be pressed on the consideration of the Senate, and was seriously in- tended as a remedy for existing evils. He believed that one of the reasons for offering it was to place those who vote against it in the attitude of sanctioning all laws whieh exist in Kansas. He regarded the pending bill as the best measure for restoring peace and order in Kansas. Mr. Wisoy would say to Mr. Crittenden, that ff this bill should pass it will pot meet the object gen- tlemen profess to have in view. He believed that the bill intended to crown the labors of the last six months, and make Kansas a slave State. The Senator from New York was rudely assailed because he declat tion to compromise on the question of slavery, the North bad always been defrauded and cheated. Free- men from the Nerth have been driven out of that Territo- ry—have been ordered out by you. Mr. Cxrrexpex—Not me, Mr. Wisox—I will say the masters of Kansas and the masters of this administration—the border rufiians of Missouri, the meu who conquered the ferritory—and the men who govern at the other end of the avonue of they do not govern He defended the free State move. ments in regarc to Kansas. He said, «tnong otner things —Withdiaw Goversor Shannon, aud vead there an honest, sobe competent man to exeente the laws, What he told th te on the 18th of January fast had come to pass.

He defended himself avd his coadjutor, from the Charge of Mr. Toowba, that they were traitors, enemies to iiverty, avd hostile \o the institutions of the common ceantey. He then descanted on the principles and fair prospects of the republican party. Mr. eren wished to Lnow what Mr. Wilson meant by applying to bim the term of jubilant senator? (Langhter.) Mr. Witsow explained that he referred to the exnitant tone in which Mr. Bigler spoke yeeter: ny of Mr. Bachan- an being elected to tue Presideney, while be invited the Senator from Kentucky (Thompwc:) into the boat before it was futi Mr. Biciex was satisfied with the expixnation, because the remerk was coofined to a particular case.

It he had the power id crush hydra headed monster at once, #0 it not go into the Presidential election. The bill pending meets the case too promptly. Tho time is too short for its execution. Daring the turbulence of the Presidential election the measure was pot likely to give Sativfaction to the country.

By no act of his should any man held or kept in slavery. On this he could not compromise, Mr. Seward is still epeaking.

Policy of the New Fork Hardsand Softs—Great Anziety as to the Buchanan Vote in New York—Colonel Forney’s Tactics not Very Successful—A Stuffing Balla Bor Made to Order for New York—Reminiscences of a City Carpenter—Wasthe ‘Little Joker’ Used ?—The Patent Bil!—Sound Dues—Cabinet Making Already. Since the ment of the Cincinnati Convention several of tl ‘ominent leaders of the New York softs have visited @@ city; and some are here now, trying to find out how ‘they may expect support, should they continue to throw embarrasements in the way of a union of the democratic party. Ex-Governor Seymour will re- turn to New York, with his mind satistied on this point, having been assured that the democracy of the Union will hold responsible the softs, should New York be lost to Mr. Buchanan, But the blame of the continued diyi- sion in the ranks of the New York democracy is not sole- ly the fault of the softs, as they were advised to the course adopted by them recently, through John W. Forney, who being supposed to speak for Mr. Buchanan, his experiment to drive into submission the bards was finally put into practice. ‘The truths, that the Custom House and government factions of your State bave lost al! sympathy with the de-, mocracy of the Union, since their true character was shown up by the Cfneinnati Couvention.

Should Mr. Buchanan loge New York, which is now almost reduced toa certainty, he can charge its loss to the interference of John W. Forney, who commands the movements of the softs, from Governor Seymuar down to the meu wt the Pewter Mug. There is a New York carpenter in this city who asserts having made a box last October werlug to the de seription of the one used in California for illegal etec tioneering purposes. The person who ordere! it belongs to one of the lower wards of your city, is « fighting cha- racter, aud always ip the employ of some party during an clection.

SAILORS IN THR Mexican WAR—A meeting ts to be hold in the Shakspere Hotel this evening, for the purpose of petitioning Congress to make the same donation to the eailors who served in the Gulf during the Mexican war as those who fought un the Pacific coast received for their services, which was, we believe, 160 acres of land and three months’ pay. All the hard fighting during that war was done by the vessels im the Gulf of Mexico, and the bounty is more deserved in this case than in that of the Fac:fe const sailors.

Miss Short, residing in Lancaster street, below Plain, ‘was lost. A small child, daughter of Mrs. Woodward, residing in the same vicinity, was drowned. Hannah Rhucdoliar aud two children, Lancaster street, near Plain, lost. Two children by the name of Harris, residing in the same vicinity, were lost. Miss Mary McMaun, daughter of Edward McMann, is also lost. Mr. McMann, in his efforts to save bis own child and several others, liad several of his ribs broken. A boy, residing in Jarvis street, whose name we could not learn, is mamasoeinns missing. It will thus be seen that the names of fifteen persons are reported among the missing, and others, whose names we could not learn, are supposed to be lost. Frederick Frementer, residing in Rye street, was seri- ously, if not fatally, injured. A young lady residing tn Reed ‘street, near the ‘eene of the disaster, was from the water in an unconscious condition. John P. Owens and Henry Sharpleigh rescued Jacob Dallas and two ladies from the water in a state of in- sensibility. Samuel Cook, it is said, had a small child seated upon the wharf at the time of this melancholy occurreace. They were both precipitated into the water and through his own manly exertions he not only saved the life of his own child, but that of another's. It is beyond doubt that this is one of the most serious cslamities that has ever occurred within the limits of our city, if, perhaps we except the burning of the ill- fisted rtiamboat William Penp, which occurred but a short distance on the river Delaware from this very spot, ‘a few years since, or the burning of the New My. ‘he scene of the calamity was ore of sad aillicton to relatives of those who had been lost, and who are ang. jously awaitir g the reception of their remains. Every thoroughtare leading to the scene of the occur- rence Was througed, not omy with an excited populace, but with apxious inquirers alter dear and kiadred friends, Sourcely any light was placed upon the dock, and it was Cangerous fo: persons to move towards the water. Mem. ers of ihe Shiller Hose Company came upou the ground with torches, and proposed to render every aswistaace iu their power to those engaged in the laudable tusk of re covering the bodies of the unfortunate victims. A pumber of oillieted mothers weeping in the bitter- ness of their hearts, thronged the streets, and it was, in- deed, & sad spectacle to Witness the manilestations of their great bereavement. Their sobs sent anguish to all Learts, and the efforts of some to comfort them by assur- ing them that their children would cortaiuly be found, Jnoved not only useless, but seemed to increase rather thar diminish U.eir sorcow, Mauy rumors are afloat as to the probable cause of this accident—the most reliable of which, is one which attributes it to the avy weight of a massive pair of shears, placed upon the wharf for tho purpose of raising Veosels, to undergo repairs.

The sections were Lilled in with coal ashes and other rub- bieh, and when the inass gave way those in the midst of the wreck were not only entangled with the crashing timbers, bat they were buried beneath the mass of rub- ich that poured into the chasm into which they were precipitated. The tide was down at the time, but not- ‘withstanding thie fact, there were twenty-seven fect of of the pier. jive below descriptions of the scene taken down from lips of thoxe who were eye witnesses of the dreadful event, aud we will pot duplicate their thrilling accounts, These who were not so much involved in the wreck as to be helpless, exerted themselves to the utmost to succor the poor creatures who were struggling in the water.
