Pike's Peak«*Aooiher
. Tickets to the Gold Hlnea.
We announced yesterday morning that tbe
HannlbaV anl St. Joseph Railway was com
pleted, and regular passenger trains will pro- 1
. hably mn over, the entire line in mnmWinn 1
with the Chicago,"Burlington" *an3 "Quincy
Ballway dazing tbe present week. The Bar- ,
lington and Missouri Railway have also .ar
rangements made to run in connection with
the Western Stage Company, a through line
direct to the new gold fields. There can be
no donbt that a large emigration is soon 'to
move westward, and we give our readers all
tbe facts at command, so that those who whh
to go may select the route best suited to thfeir
wishes and convenience.
Toe Hannibal and St. Jo. Railway will land
passengers pome four or five hundred -miles
above St Louis, in twenty-six hours from
Chicago. Eegular fare sl7. For parties of
fifty or upwards a "reduction "of $2 on each
passenger will be made. By reference to an
advertisement in another column, it will be
seen that John M. Hockiday & Co. (present
carriers of the Salt Lake and Cherry Creek
Mall) will run a line of daily stages from Su
Joseph and Atchison to the gold lines, and
that tbe Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy
Railway will bo authorized to ticket passen
gers from Chlcrgo to tbe mines for sll9, in
cluding board, west of the' Missouri river.
Messrs. Hockiday & Co; have made tbe dis
tance to Salt Lake from the Missouri river'
in fifteen days, and state that they will con
vey passengers through from Atchison, Kan
sas, to tbe mines in ten days. Their line will
be stocked with covered coaches and run with
ax mules to each coach. Relay stations are
to be established every twenty miles. The
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Co. will sell by this line six tickets per day
through to the mines.
Ia addition to this line, Messrs. Challiss &
Co., of Atchison, will start every ten days,
beginning the Ist of' April, an ox-team ex
press from Atchison, by which passengers
will be ticketed throagh from the Missouri
river, and boarded, for sso making from
Chicago $69 to the mines. An unlimited
number of tickets can be eold by this lioe.
By this arrangement the baggage of the m*jn
will only be carried, with the women "and
children and such as happen to be sick. Time
thirty days. For the convenience of those
who may want to furnish their outfit here,
including teams, arrangements have been
made to take teams, wagons, and all the in
cidentals for an outfit, from Chicago to St.
Joseph, at sllO per car, in qaick time, and
on: man will be passed free to take care of
hordes, etc. There can be no question but
that this will bo a popular and expeditious
route.
By the Bnrliogton & Missouri River Rail
road passengers will be ticketed to Platts
moath, at tbe mouth of Platte River, for $25»
and this will include 100 lbs baggage on Rail
way and 50 lbs on stage. Dlstacce to Agen
cy City, by rail, 279 miles, thence to Platts
mouth by stage 198 miles. An association
has been formed, of which a prominent gen
tleman of this city is a member, to run a line
of stages through from Oreopolis, at the
mouth of ihe Platte, to the mine?, and thcie
is no reason to doubt that all arrangements
will be completed in time for early travel.
For tbe benefit ot those who may wish to
mate their outfit here, the price per car to
Agency City has been fixed at $55, and one
man will be parsed free to take care of tbe
stock. Passengers are also ticketed through
to Cjuncil Bluffs by this route, taking stage
at Asreocy City, via Des Moines.
"We have now three prominent lines from
this city whose arrangements are perfected to
accommodate tbe ruth for Pike's Peak, how
ever great it maybe. The news from all
quartertjeeems to indicate a larege emitfralion,
and we sircerely hope 'hat gold enough will
be foundto reward all wbo go. To ac
complish so desirable an object, will take a
very considerable 4, pile" of tbe shining dust.
From all the facts belore him, let each one
jadge lor himself, whether it is there, and
whether be has the energy to find hie share.
l/ovejoy, Singleton, <<ombard and "Old
Atose."
Many of our readers will doubtlcfs remem
ber tbe case of *' Old Mose," a gray-haired
and pretty badly used-up negro, who came to
this city from tbe county of Stark in the State
of Illinois, some eighteen months ago, seeking
refuge from tbe caresses of one Lombard,
(white man) wbo had brought him from the
Siate of Mississippi with the intention, as de
clared by himself, of emancipating the said
<; Mose." The latter, finding tbe process
of emancipation uarepsonably protracted,
and receiving an intimation that it was
to be siill further delayed by a return
to Mississippi, took the -matter in
bis own hand, or pa his own legs,
and made a very neat run for Chicago.
Possibly be stopped at tbe residence of Hon.
Owen Lovejoy, in Princeton, to get a supper
or a night's lodging, though our recollections
are not perfect oa that point. Arrived in
Chicago he went into the wood splitting
business with considerable energy and suc
cess for so old and battered a customer; and
gradually we lost sight of him. Meanwhile
Mr. Lombard (white man) published a letter
addressed to Mr. Lovejoy, full ot bad lan
guage, aud ending with a threat to bring the
Honorable gentleman's doings to the no
tice of the House of Representatives,
and have him expelled! It is but
justice .to Mr. Lovejoy to say that
though the letter was immediately printed in
the Bureau County Danxrat, he did not see
it for som9 weeks, when it was brought to nis
bouse wrapped around a small. purchase, of
candles, or some other article of domestic
utility. Otherwise he would doubtless have !
made proper apologies to Mr. bombard >
(white man), and endeavored to dissuade him
from ousting him (Lovejoy) trom his scat in
the CapitoL It did not quite clearly appear i
what Mr. Lombard wanted in the premises— !
what he would have bad, if be could have '
had it as well as not—for he admitted that
"Mose" was a free man, and only complained
that be (Lombard) was prevented from taking
"Mose," who was. greatly, endeared to him,
back to Mississippi for aootber season, as a
preliminary to xnokinghim free again. A severe
lecture was read to our Representative in
Congress from the Third District about ** ras
caliy churcb members" and " thieving aboli
tionists," and it wan stated, as a settled con
viction oa the part of Mr. Lombard, that
u stealing a negro's supper" was the most de
basing job a white man could engage in. As
Mr. Lovejoy had never stolen a negro's sup
per, and as tbe other man had been stealing
"Old MoseV.'supper all his life, the allusion
did not seem a happy one.
Thitt, however, is only introductory. Mr.
Lombard, sure enough, handed over his griefs
to Hon. O. R. Singleton, member of Congress
from tbe State of Mipstoippl. Mr. Singleton
did not emulate the < ximple of his "constitu
ent"as he calls him, by rushing atonce either
into print or debate. Hi held back for an oc
casion. ready to cut in and finish bis adver
aary when he might least expect it. !
Tbo occasion came on last Tuesday. ;
Mr. Lovejoy moved an amehdment to bOl
appropriating public money lor the jail fees
of fugitive slaves and other "persons." Mr.
Singleton came to the scratch once, calling
on Mr. Lovejoy to restore a negro which he
had " stolen" from tbe constituent aforesaid.
replied that he had never "stolen"
a negro, and the constituent had never owned
one, but that be did nevertheless give food
and shelter to all tbe needy and distressed
wbo applied a_t his door, white and black
alike. Tbe 'Mississlpplan came back with
what may pass for a Btunner in his country,
viz: If that was not stealing, he would like
to know what stealing was! "Stealing," re
plied Mr. Lovejoy, " is taking a man and
holding him In slavery."
This brought Mr. Singleton up standing.
He seems to have taken a couple of hours to
fliink what to u, next,'for we find his re
joinder two or three columns distant, in the
QltAc, from the locality of the former tkir
mi«h. Here the gentkman fcom Mtataippl
•ppetr* to tore betn u llttl*'fortunate la
his logic and comparisons as Mr. Lombard,
' whose cftpw he so rashly espoused. He de
i clared-that Mr. Lovrjoy's sentiments
j a disgrace to the and that hi .had no
doubt bisanceston wereengagsdla stealing
I negroes from Africa. Now, what a volume
of .ia embraced in this splatter
|of rage! Mr. Singleton says that the
! first slaves brought into this country were
- .=.thTigTTttMngblmaeir T hla "constituent*
and all the slave drivers in the South tbe re
ceivers of stolen goods. Next, the crime of
I stealing them was so infamous that the stain
1 descends to tbe third and fourth generation,
working a moral attainder upon the grand
children of all who bad a share in the wicked
•ness. And lastly, the title to a slave is rim
ply that of a thief to his plunder. Really,
Mr. Singleton proved too much. Let him
now go back to the disconsolate Lombard,
and let the two
•»eelccnteomede«oU , e«bade, and there
Weep tuelr aad boaoms empty."
Tke Admission of Oregon.
Oregon was admitted into tbe Union on
Saturday last—the bill to that effect having
passed the House of Representatives oa that
day by a vote ot 114 yeas to 103 nays. This
bill had passed the Senate at the first session
by 36 yeas to 16 nays, bat reached the House
too late to be acted upon by that body. The
Constitution with which Oregon ccmes into
the Union was framed in the year 1857, with
out an enabling act. It was subsequently
submitted to the people for their approval or
-'rejection, and was indorsed by a decisive ma
jority. Tbe application for admission was
made without an enumeration of the people of'
Oregon—the entire proceedings in fact being
Irregular, aud without any taaction from
Congress. It is not probable that the pres
ent population is as great as 50,000,—0n1y
about half tbe somber requisite for one Re
presentative in Congress.
Neither in the Senate nor in the House was
the question of admission made a party issue.
Ia the Senate the vote for admission stood 24
Democrats, 11 Republicans, and 1 American;
against admission, 7 Democrats, 6 Republi
cans and 3 Americans. In tbe House, for
admission, 97 Democats, 15 Republicans, and
2 Americans; against admission, 19 Demo
crats, 65 Republicans, and 9 Americans. A
majority of the Republican members of the
Senate voted for admission; and but for Re
pablican votes the bill could not have passed
either House.
At the last session of Congress it was en
acted that Kansas should not be admitted into
the Union until she could show, by a census
taken under Congressional authority, a popu
lation of at least 93,000. Kansas is strongly
Republican—Oregon is strongly Pro-Slavery,
or Democratic. The Senators and Represen
tatives from the latter are as reliable in their
zeal for all Pro Slavery measures as those
of Louisiana or South Carolina; the
former would vote as readily for the
violent seizure of Caba, the forcible military
occupation of Sonora and Chihuahna, the
men and money requisite for another series of
outrages similar to those sanctioned by the
administrations of Pierce and Buchanan in
the endeavor to force slavery into Kansas as
would the latter. For all practical purposes
in national legislation Oregon, with her pres
ent political affinities, is as much a part of
the Slave power as any one of the slavehold
iog States. Because such are the facts Dem
ocrats resolved to keep Kansas out and to let
Oregon in.
The Republicans had strong provocation,
therefore, to defeat the admission of Oregon,
because of this unfair discrimination between
a Republican and a Democratic State. They
said, " If Democratic Oregon is to be admit
ted into the Union with a population of 15,-
000, why shall Republican Kansas be kept
out until she has a population of 93.000
And then they proposed, as a compromise, the
repeal of the restriction against the latter—
but tbe Democracy voted that down with the
same emphasis that an overseer drives his
" niggers " afield wiih the whip. They would
not even allow it to be discussed, bat applied
the sag whenever the attempt was made.
Kansas must not come In, even if the Rcpab
licans should keep Oregoa ont, as they could
have done.
There was this further objection to tbe ad
mission of Oregon—that her constitution
recognized the most odioas principle ia the
Dred Scott decision. Not only did it prohibit,
under severe pains and penalties, the immi
gration of free people ot color into the
State, but it denied all redress of any sort to
thatiMass in the courts. According to that
constitution," negroes possess no rights that
a white man, or even tbe State, is bound to
respect;" and, with a degree of tyranny
and inhumanity that is only paralleled
by tbe dicta of tbe Supreme Court, it placed
them utterly and totally beyond tbe protec
tion of law. It did worse than that—it made
the law a minister to deprive them of such
natural rights and 6uch voluntary protection
as might have been awarded to them by the
individual acts of humane citizens.
With all these provocations to a determined
opposition to the .admission of Oregon into
the Union, the Republican members of Con
gress divided upon tbe final question—a part
voting for ard a part against the bill. Had
they all voted in the negative it would have
b?en defeated in the Senate by two, and in
the House by nineteen majority. Those of
them who voted against the bill, after ex
hausting every effort to remove the odious
discrimination against and to secure
such changes in the constitution of Oregon
! us would make it republican, doubtless did so
4fom the belief that Kansas would frame her
constitution daring the present year, prove
that she had the required population, and
thas be ready at the commencement of the
next session of Congress to demand admission
into the Union upon the hard terms pre
scribed by her enemies; and from the belief,
also, that progress toward right principles in
Oregon would perhaps be expedited by her
admission as a State. Such, we conolude,
were the controlling sentiments under which
| Republicans gave their votes in the affirma
tive. Those of them who voted in the nega
tive did so on the ground of the naked facts
as detailed above, and they need no explana
tion or defense before their const ituents.
New York Association of Bank Pres
idents.
The above association was organized on Thurs
day last, by the election or Hoaea Taylor, of the
City Bank, as Chairman, and W. T. Hooker, of
the Continental Bank, as Secretary. Kineteen
banks, having capitals of a million dollars and
upward, signed the constitution. The banks
entitled to membership which have not joined
in the movement are the American, Merchants'
Union, Manhattan, Mercantile, Park and Broad
way. Some of these will probably joio hereaf
ter. The object of the association is simply fre
quent meetings for mutual consultation and
advice, with tbe ulterior view of making the
bank movement of thatci y more uniform, and
of preventing, if possible, such revulsions as
overtook the country in 1&57. There is no coer
eive feature in tbe constitution, consequently,
although capital is allowed to rote, the result
of a ballot carries with it nothing bnt the natu-"
; ral moral influence belonging to such a com
j bined expression of opinion from men of char
: acter and experience.
Hicbigao Banking Law,
It is «aid in some quarters that the State Trea
surer of Michigan is construing the new banking
act of that Sta t e in such stringent manner that it
is doubtful if any banks can be organised under
it. Every doubtful section is construed against
the banker, and if the legislature does net inter
fere, the act will probably become a dead letter
on the statute book.

SnaQRZLO. Feb. IS, 1851.
The Investigating Committee Dot on Friday
evening, upon short notice, to hear the testimony
of Gen* ***** L> Stsvastj of Chicago, who - was
expected to leave for home. His evidence had
bnt an indirect bearing upon the case immediately
before the Committee; bat as it is deemed to be
important, I transcribe its leading points:
Mr. Stewart was employed by Gov. French
shortly after the latter came into office, to collect
and fond the floating Canal indebtedness ; was
engaged in the business for some time, and, in
pursuit of it, went to New York. In all bis In
quiries and purchases had never seen bat t*o or
three of these "80 day Canal checks." Was con
fident that none of them were In circulation. Had
seen none except those purchased since 1810 or
1812.
On Saturday evening the Committee met again.
Present—Fuller, of Tazewell, Chairman, and
Beya>*, of Marion; Buckhastee, of Madison ;
Kutkentill, of Johnson; Cook, of La Salle;
ifmcßiT.T., of Coles, and Appltnotok, of Ogle,
with the attorneys employed respectively by Gov.
Matteson and by the officers of the State. The
met ting was held in the Senate Chamber, and a
large crowd by their presence attested their inter*
est In the proceedings.
Josuh He Roberts, late State Trustee—When
he came into office, found at the office in Chicago
two boxes which he understood contained Canal
indebtedness which had been taken up; thought
they were the boxes which came from the bank;
of them was still sealed—had not been opened;
Ute top of the other was loose; appeared to have
been opened. Had seen Got. Matteson in Chi
cago, anl bad spoken to him abont sending them
to Springfield; Wells, his predecessor, advised it
nign. Took a black trunk in the office, and a shoe
box procured for him by Kehoe, the office porter,
and packed the Indebtedness for transportation.
The sealed box was too large to go into the black
trunk or shoe-box; could not tell which; did not
break the packages. Packed the contents of the
other box and a number of packages which were
lying in the safe, understood to be Canal scrip
also. The trunk, he thinks, was not full; filled
it up with old papers; cou!dnot say whether it
was the trunk or the box which was unfilled, but
one or the other. In repacking contents of the
open box, found some packages which seemed to
be diminished in size—five or six packages; ex
amined them, and their contents did not corres
! pond with the amount specified in their seveial
envelopes; taking them altogether be thought
there were four or five thousand dollars short;'
these packages were all cancelled Canal indebted
ness, but of what particular kind h* could not
say. After the trunk was thus - packed, the box
was nailed up and marked with a brush and punt,
, "Joel A. Matteson, Springfield." Box ana trunk
| were sealed; a label was put on the trunk with
' address same as was on the box. Had them
them taken to the Rock Island Railroad depot;
Kehoe took them, and waited until Mcßoberts
came. He (Mcßobert*) had them put on the
cars, and came with them as far as La SjUe;
there he delivered the trunk and box into Gov.
Matteson's possession; has never seen cither of
them since. This was in Marcb, 1853, a few-days
after he took possession of the office. Recognized
the trunk before him as one like that which he
packed at Chicago. Ex.Governor Wells had told
him that there was a package of worthless indebt
edness, amounting to $5,000, which had been ab
stracted from the office; neither he nor Wells had
taken any measures to recover it; thought the
theft could do no harm.
Gen. W. F. Thornton, recalled, and questioned
in relation to the package of checks unfilled with
name of payee, found in the bundle funded. Re
cogoizes the signa ures as genuine; says they
were never issued by the Commissioners; were
signed in blank to bs filled and paid to parties as
they might be wanted, by the Treasurer or bis
clerk, whose duty it was to enter them upon the
book whenever issued. Tnlnks such checks would
not be negotiable and would not be received by
business men. (Checks shown.) These checlis
are clean as when just from the press ; do not
seem to have been folded; appear never to h ire
been carried in the pocket; they are nntrimmed
at the ends.
Joel Mamtoo, examined the nnfilled checks.
Recognizes the signatures as gennine; says they
were never issued at the Canal office. These
checks were kept in the safe ; he aaJ hta clerk
were the only persons who had keys or had access
to the safe.
Gen. Jacob Fbt, examined same checks. Sig
natures genuine; the checks were never issued
by the Canil Board. I: was the habit of the offi
cers to sign checks whenever they had leisure ;
signing was done in bis or an adjoining office.
Ges. Isaac B. Cubran Was in tbe habit t?
visiting Gov. Matteson's rooms at the St. Nicholas
Hotel often—almost daily—during the winter of
1856*7. Has frequently—as many as six or seven
times—seen gentlemen there selling the Governor
State indebtedness. Bid not know the names of
the person* making any transactions of the sort;
was sometimes irtroduced to them by Gov. Matte
son; at other times, was not. Has seen the Gov
ernor purchase all amounts of this indebtedness—
from two or three pieces to an amount equal to
$5,000 at one time, which was paid for on the&pot,
generally in currency; sometimes checks were
given. Thinks the amount purchased, in bis pres
ence, in alt, might amount to $30,000 or SIO,OOO.
At one time took a package of indebtedness in his
hand; the top piece of which, he thinks, was an
SIOO canal check—a "90 day check"—similar to
those shown him. Docs not know by whom any
were signed, to whom payable, or by whom en
dorsed, or whether the vignette was an eagle or a
canal boar; does not know tbe date of these checks
seen by him. saw any of the men met by
him in Gov. Matteson'a room and engaged in sell
ing this kind of paper; docs not recollect any
names; has never seen the men since. Thinks
tbe price pud was 75 to 87 cents; does not know
whether that included interest or not.
H. Moons, Suporinteadent of St. Louis, Alton
and Chicago Riitroid.—Was in habit of visiting
Gov. Matteson's rooms early in the winter of
1656-7. Thicks that in December 1856 saw Gov.
Matteson purchasing State indebtedness there;
saw this five or six times; did not know the per
sons selling; never saw them before; has never
seen them since. Thinks the Indebtedness which
he saw sold was of the denomination of SSO and
$100; recollects that the appearance was about
the some as that of the "90 day checks" now
shown him; did not know tbe date; did not know
by whom signed or by whom endorsed. Cannot
say what amount be saw purchased; thinks it was
"considerable." The Governor generally paid for
checks in currency; thinks tbe piice paid was
$l2O to the dollar, including interest.
William E. Smith, or the firm of Smith &
Goodell, bankers, Joliet. Was President of the
Format and Tradert' Bank in 1853. Exhibited
a paper showing the amount of money negotiated
by Gov. Matteson at his bank, during the winter
of ISSG-7. The amount was about $200,000.
This money was raised on the acceptances of
Hamilton Spencer and Thomas Dyer. Understood
that this money was ra'sed for the purpose of
< baying State indebtedness; had been so told by
Gov. Matteson. Money was sent to the Governor
sometimes by express and sometimes by private
conveyance.
An affidavit of Robert Anderson, partner in the
house of John J. Anderson & Co., binkere, Su
Louis was here shown. It set forth that in the
winter of 1856-7, they negotiated for Gov. Matte
son paper to the mount of $50,0C0 to $75,000
acceptances of Hamilton Spencer.
The investigation has closed for the evening.
In tbe Senate on Saturday tbe Apportionment
bill nu the excitement of the day. By agreement
debate was in ordtr; and the merits and demerits
of- that contrivance were thoroughly sifted by the
Republican Senators, among whom Ju Jd, Herder
son, Bestor and Blodgett were remarked for their
pointed thrusts. It was ordered that a vote be
taken on Monday.
In that body, In the morning, several bills of
local importance were passed—the bill -empower
ing the Sewerage Commissioners of Chicago to
borrow half a million of dollars, tbe Dill incorpo
rating the Horse Railroad Company (Gage, Foil
er,Bigelow & Co.) of Chicago, and the bill incor
porating the American Express Company—among
others.
The House during the day was busily employed;
but mostly upon private bills of which there are
yet a legion. One public act, making executions
of criminals private was considered and passed.
It wis, I believe a House bill, and has yet to goto
the Senate.
Symptoms of restlessness and impatience begin
to show tbemselres among the members of both
parties; and they will be good tacti liana who can
hold these men here until the cud of this week.
The Democracy are determined that the Appor
tionment bill shall become a law before they leave,
and the Republicans are equally determine that it
shall Dot On their part the Democrats say that
until the Apportionment bill is signed the Appro
priation bill shall not pass; and in reply the Re
publicans declare that tie Democrats must, if
they choose, take the responsibility of stopping •
the wheels of government; that the iniquity
which they propose will never be submitted to.
Thus tbe matter standi. Wrong opposed by
right. There will be musie before the week la'

Mr. Sherman's committee on frauds in the
navj-Tards will report this week. Tbe testimo
ny is immensely voluminous. It will make a
volume, ont of which Wendell, the Democratic
printer, will make money. It will present a
brief synopsis of the way a and means by which
abont three and a half millions of dollars are
stolen from the naval appropriations every
year.
Hon. George Taylor, Democratic Chairman
of the printing corruption committee, is very
thick with Wendell, the conductor-general and
i eogioeer-in chief of these jobs. Not much can,
therefore, be expected from that committee.
, Wendell knows how to cover np the tracks of
| himself and his confederates. Secretary Ton
j oey kept the Government supplied, during the
last two rears of Seaman's superintendence
with paper from his mill in Connecticut, at very
liberal prices.
Tbe Committee on Hilitsry Affairs, of both
Houses, have rejected, with a promptitude
which looks almost like contempt for their great
father, the President's recommendation for a
protectorate over Northern Mexico. Col. fi-n.
McCullock may therefore be recalled from his
mission, which was to locate military posts
along tbe line of tbe projected disuoion railroad
through Sonora, New Leon, and other provin
ces, which were to be incorporated in the new
Soothern confe-ieracr.
One set of tbe Bock Island squatters are

I I notice in your paper of the 11th what pur

(or tbe collection of taxes. The first section of
tbe Act as yon have it gives township collectors
until the first Monday in June next to return

their bill, but it was amended in that respect. I
bave examined the enrolled copy and send you
herewith a copy of tbe first section, thinking it
may be important to yonr readers. I would add
that the bill was approved by the Governor on

The Indiana Senators*
Judge W. M. McCartv, one of the Senators
duly elected by the Legislature of Indiana, at
its late extra session, writes a letter which ia
published in the Indianapolis Journal. It will
be remembered that the U. S. San ate xefused
Messrs. Lane and McCarty the courtesy of seats
in that body, while their case was under consid
eration. The Judge is evidently warm on the
subject He writes:
There is no instance in the British Parlia'meot
of a refusal to hear a party in assertion ot bis
rights, nor in any country where civil liberty
exists do Courts shut the door in the face of tbe
implorators for justice, except; in the United
Slates Senate. State Sovereignty has become
empty words in the mouths ofitspreseatfriends
—is cloven down in its very sanctuary by its
own high priests, and justice, tbe great pillar of
the whole aocial fabric, denied a sovereign
State.
Messrs. Bright and Fitch have not tbe chivalry
to court criticism of their title, although repudi
ated and disowned by the Sttte, aod charged
with procuring tneir commission in violation ot
tbe Constitution, and uoder a false and fabricat
ed journal, tb|t tbe Senate joined the House in
Convention.
The Senate will make the humiliating admis
sion ol its impotency to protect Statea' rights
and insist that tbis impotency is induced by its
own act, an estoppel self-created, a stultification
self-urged; that it has abdicated the power to
preserve its integrity, that it can adulterate its
organism with foreign elements, but cannot
Surge itself, that it has power to .wrong a State,
ut not to redress those wrongs. Instead of
vindicating the decision by argument it takes
refuge from criticism behind tne infalibility of
votea.
The Confidence flan in La Salle.
IFrom tbe La Salle Press, 12th.]
Mr. D. C. Bancroft, according to his own
statement, belonging at Detroit Michigan, came
to tbis city about tbe first of December, for the
purpose of erecting in connection with others,
an establishment for the manufacture of Kero
sene oil from tbe coal of tbis locality. Several
Boston gentlemen comiog a few days after, and
under these appearances tbe company was very
quickly organised. Sereral respons ble gentle
men ot Peru, and one at least of Chicago, were
induced to join tbe enterprise, and an establish
ment was fatted up as rapidly as possible at Peru.
Matters went on apparently all right until near
ly re«dy to make tbe oil. Tbis said Bancroft
all tbis time boarding in La dille, and going al
most daily to Peru, and apparently having part
ly tbe charge of the erection of the works.
Oae day last week the gentleman left "to go
to Ottawa and return toe next morning." Not
makiog bis appearance for some days, this in
connection with other suspicious circumstances,
induced an investigation; when it was found
that he had spirited away his baggage, of which
be bad a good supply, and lett instead two
empty trunks, with a hotel bill unpaid of f 242.
In addition to this, he bad under tbe plausible
statement of bis being connected with the " oil
works" in question, managed to run in debt to
various individuals for small amounts, and
finally on the day of leaving had borrowed of
several individuals small amounte of $5 aod
$lO, to be paid next day, with which he manag
ed to take himself off, and has not since been
heard ot He took tbe train to Chicago, and did
not stop at Ottawa, and is supposed to have
to the termer place, and ibence perhaps to
Dnboque, as from some circumstances be men
tioned in connection with it it is thought he
has been living there. «.
On counting up unadjusted claims he has left
behind, it appears he has run in debt on bis
own private account in vanoua ways, here and
! in Peru, something like six hundred dollars.
It does not appear yet that be baa aoy real
connection with tbe Oil Company, and from ap
pearances we suppose that he was a mere ad
venturer without means, wbo by his fine appear
ance and plausible talk, tried and hoped to auc
ceed in being an active member of the eompauy
in such a way as to have the responsible parties
in the eoncern carry him along; and failing in
this, be took the next course open to him, bor
rowing money and running away without pay
ing his debts.

The Federal Union Question in Cana
da»*Conflictiog Interests*
[Correspondence of tbe N. T. Tdbone.]
Toeosto Feb. 7.1539.
At this moment, tbe establishment of a Fed
eral Union is one of tbe chief features of the
policy of tbe present Government. But it will
take some time, perhaps ten years, to consum
mate such a measure; and it is in tbe last degree
improbable that those wbo initiate it will sur
vive, politically, to carry their work to comple
tion. Suppose, then, a Federal union to take
place in ten years; what becomes of the expen
diture tor public buildings in Ottawa, construct*
ed under the not'on that tbe Government would
remain there permanently ? The official answer,
if we get one during the debate, will probably
be this: There is a large amount of ordinance
property, which now belongs to tbe Province,
m Ottawa; and the increased selling value that
will be given to it by makiog Ottawa the capital,
even tor teo years, will go far to compensate for
tbe cost of erecting public buildings there; that
the population which the seat ol Government
would attract, would remain after tbe Govern
ment left, so that the additional value which the
ordinance property may bave acquired, would
be maintained; that this increased population
would essily find employment in manufactures,
for which Ottawa, with its unsurpassed hydraul
ic powers, oflere peculiar facilities; and that the
valae of the neighboring crown lands would be
increased by the creation of a near market; so
that, taking all these things into account, there
would be little real loss in going to Ottawa now,
even if Qaebec were made the Federal capital
ten years hence.
The position of tbe Federal Union question
has jast been made known by the dispatches on
tbe subject which have been laid oefore the Le
gislature. On tbe formation of the Cartier-
Macdonaid Government, last August, it was an
noanced to Parliament that a Federal Union
would form a part of the policy. After the pro
rogation, an order in Council was passed, au
thorizing two members of tne Cabinet to go to
England to urge tbe matter on tbe attention of
tbb imperial Government. Whether for this or
some other purpose, three Ministers went home
—Messrs. Cartier, Ross and Gait; and in a joint
letter to Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, Colonial Secre
tary, they urge the necessity of a Federal union
of all the British American Provinces,-from a
Canadian point of view; and for imperial con
solation they add that it would forever do away
with the fear that these colonies may go to swell
the power of anolner nation—the United States
being, of course, meanL The delegates repre
sent that a difficulty regaining the adjustment
of the representation in the Legislature between
Upper and Lower Canada has arisen; that Low
er Canada, with a smaller population, has the
same representation as Upper Canada; that Up
per Canada demands an increased representa
tion in proportion to its population, which Low
er Canado is unwilling to grant; and that tbe
difficultv which baa thus arises, increases with
the diaparity of tbe population in the two sec
tions of the Province. As a means of getting
rid or tbis difficulty, a Federal union of all the
British Provinces is suggested, and authority
for a meeting of delegates from tbe different
Provinces to determine upon the basis on which
such a union could be efieoied is asked. This
tbe Colonial Secretary refuses to grant, until he
! has assurance that tbe other Colonies »re pre
: pared to entertain tbe question. At the same
I time, the Canadian Government undertook to
1 open a correspondence with the other Provinces
i on the subject. New Brunswick replies, in ef
fect, that tbe m»tter should not be hurried, but
.that time ahould be given for consideration;
: from Nova Scotia there is no reply; Prince Ed
ward's Island acknowledges the receipt of tbe
communication, and Newfoundland will be ready
to appoint a delegate sk soon as aatbority for a .
meeting of delegates is given by tbe Imperial
Government. Tnia is the position of the ques
tion of federation at preaent.. It came oat in a
conversation in tbe House, that there are some
other commuoicstions on the subject beside tbe
dispatches laid before the Legislature, but they
are private.
Nothing can be duller than the legislative de
bates thus far. There is no session 111 evening at
3 o'clock; at S an adjournment till o'clock
! takes piace; tnea they meet apain and wrangle
till 11 or 12 o'clock at night, and will soon do so
ti'l 3or 4 o'clock in the morning. Their discus
sions seldom involve any pribciple whatever.
Take no their thr»*e leading newspaper*, Iht
Globe, Leader, and Colonist, and yon will seldom
find a principle clearly in controversy in their
column*. Re.id a tew pages of their heavy debates
ami von find perhaps a bundle ot savage and
brutal personalities. A scene like thac which
piostraied Sumner, for his able argument against
slavery, we have never known; nor are great prin
ciples advocated here as he plead forana defended
them wben at Washington.
We teem as' a colony to be approaching the
great gulf ot public bankruptcy. One part of our
people are Protestants, of many shades: another,
perhaps the majority, belong to the Church of
Rome, nominally or in full connection. One-third
of the people speak French; and in manners. In
customs, in tbe notion oi what is right and wrong,
~andln their feelings, seem to be almost tbe antip
odes of a very large party speaking Engliso.
Associations, presses, legislative discussions, and
rival priesthoods, nnite with the government of
tho day in fanning the fUme of civil and religious
discord, until the settler begins to Imagine that
Canada is literally the Ireland of the new world.
A fuQ third of tbe legislative speeches in both
Hoases are In French, which tbe other two thirds,
and tbe spectators generally, do not understand.

-the words "and for the safe keeping of prison
ers."
Mr. Lovejot—l understand that that means
for the safe keeping of fugitive slaves. This
beiog my uaderstanding, 1 move to strike out
those words. I will not dwell on the moral con
aiderationa pertinent to this matter. I do not
believe that the Constitution confers on this
House the power of taxing me and taxing my
constituents, to feed and clothe and keep these
fugitive slaves till their trial comes on. If there
is anything in the Constitution about it, it is
that tbey are simply allowed to be taken and
carried oack. And, sir, it is a thing so utterly
odious t > the people of the free States, so utter
ly degrading, and so abhorrent to the feelings
of humanity, North and South, that 1 go lor
adhering to the letter of the bond, giving noth
ing more than the pound of flesh. That is all
we Cin give; and we give that reluctantly. If,
therefore, 1 do not misapprehend the meaning
of this clause, I trust that it will be stricken
out
Mr. Sinqlktox—The gentleman talks about
giving " the pound ol flesh " I would be very
hsppy indeed, if the gentleman would return
the negro whom be helped to steal away from one
of my Ute constituents.
Mr. Lovsjot—l thank the gentleman for call
ing the attention ot the committee to that mat
ter. 1 never stole away any of the gentleman's
negroes-he never rightfully owned a negro.
Every human being that Gjd made belongs to
himself against the universe. And, sir, it this
committee wtsh to know—as my attention has
been aeveral times called to this, and as scurril
ous letters have been read here—whether I help
fugitive slaves, 1 march right ud to the coofes
aional and tell them that 1 do. Vhere is no hu
man being, blaci or white, that ever comes to
my door and asks for tood when hungry, or
abetter when houseless, but receives it; and it
the invisible spirit of slavery expects to cross
my humble threshold and forbid me to feed the
hnogry or shelter the houseiess, 1 bid that de
mon defiance in the name of my God.
Mr. S'jfGLKTOK -I would like the gentleman to
define what be calls *'stealing," it that be not
siealiog.
Mr. Lovsjot—Stealing is to take a man and
keep him a slave. "He that stealeth a man and
selleth him, or if be be found in his hands, be
shall surely be put to death."
Mr. Lovejoy's amendment was not agreed to.

Mr. Phxlps, of Missouri.—l rise to a question

So far as the holding of slaves is concerned, I
have no doubt if the gentleman's lioesge was
