m I p,.|i said it seemed to him from the 'L iif the honorable Senator from South and those who had voted vvilji him, f ir " .-y were raising a false issue—an issue ■ |j' vv 11 i*' I * they were prepared to go homo, I I "'"/'Viv that the die is cast —and what is that I I ' It was the question of a government I a country to which the south has j ■ f° r looked with a view to make from it slave | ■ > If they were to resist, let it be upon | ’i,, true issue. H |. had been said ihatlhe issue must come— ■ . lie vole of the House proves this. But H c ime to no such conclusion. There were I I 'I maiiv noble spirits at the North-men who I lonia never vole to exclude slavery from all I ,|,vica,i territory.and till «i«h a vole was re ■ jr ded in the House, he would never believe I Let them wait until it comes before raising ! ■ .jjg issue. I He had voted against laying the hill on the ■ ia l,|e. and against Wie vote to postpone —and K e was ready to vote for a conference commit- ’ V though he had very little hope that the ■ * (iinpromise bill would be agreed upon—his ■ . j lo |,g was in another measure to which he j ■ would not now allude. He would vote against ■ i j| ie motion to recede, and he would vote to i I I insist. ■ He wanted the northern men to have the op- I I portnnity to pass the bill, with the ordinance of j j7drm it—and he would notquarrel with them ' I j Sl . doing. He expected to find himselfar- I rayed with his southern brethren in defence of I their rights and honor. But he would go j I 3 <raiiist the raising of any false issue—with } 1 r ai,-iiig Dial * ss,le witli regard to Oregon. ■ Mr. Turney was in favor of a committee of ■ | c onlerence. Seldom had such a committee I | a iled to propose something, in all cases, satis- I factory —and why depart from it now in regard (t) it local question. I Mr. Butler had not been disposed to separ- V j atethe Government of Oregon. California and I ? \ L >w Mexico in the bill, but as all hope of I aninng them had passed, lie canceived there 1 was no reason why the proposition to compro 'j niise should not be incorporated into the Ore- I; gnu hill —why the question should not now be I settled. Mr. Houston was willing that his views np- I on this subject should he known, not only to the people of the country, but to the world, I though he regretted the necessity which requir ! ed him to occupy the time of the Senate at this late day of the session, lie then went into an ! i examination of the condition, in regard to ; glares, upon which Texas came into the Union, i He regarded that admission as a compromise upon the line ot 36 30, to which Texas would i adhere, and lie did not consider the inlroduc- 1 | tion of a prohibition of slavery in Oregon in this I bilUs in any way conflicting with the principles I established by that compromise. Mr. Denton again addressed the Senate to *1 show the precise slate of the question, and in j favor of concurrence with the House, and passing the bill as it had been originally sent to , them. 1 iiis talk about a dissolution of the j Union was all/mss—“ sound and fury,’—mak ing no impression upon his mind whatever. Messrs. \ ulee, and Johnson, of Ga, follow- | ed—but without any action, the Senate took I its usual recess to half-past 5. j The Senate,to-day, has agreed to the reports J of the committees of conference, on the gene ral appropriation bill. 1 hey also receded from amendments to the post route bill, in which the House refused to concur. House of Representatives* Mr. C. J. Ingersoll moved a joint resolution, i upon which he said he would not ask for action i at present, but simply move its reference to the committee on Foreign Relations, preparatory , to acting on it early next session, tendering the j congratulations of Congress to the German \ Confederation, lately founded on the great priu- ; ciples of the sovereignty of the people. It was so referred. Some general business was transacted—not l important—and the reports of two or three ! committees pf conference were made and con curred in, as noticed in the proceedings of the Senate. Recess to half-past 5 o'clock. In Senate Saturday Night. August 12. j The Senate was in session all night. \ arions motions were made, immediately j after the recess, to get up the Report of the 1 committee of Conference, on the disagreeing ( O o \otes of the two Houses on the Army Appro priation bill, and for that purpose to postpone the consideration of the Oregon territorial bill, which the presiding officer (Mr. Niles) had de clared to he first in order. From this decision of the Chair. Mr. Yulee finally appealed, and the decision was reversed, ID to 39. The Re port of the committee of Conference was ac cordingly taken up, and after debate was finally | concurred in. The consideration of the Oregon bill was ; then resumed —Mr. Johnson, of Ga., having the floor—but he gave way to Mr. Webster, who desired to make a few remarks before the ques- , tion was taken on the motion of the Senator from Missouri, to recede from their amend ments. Mr. Webster was inclined to say but little j further on the question, or protract the debate, i The House had sent them a bill, giving a gov- i eminent to Oregon, to no part of which the Senate had objected. But the Senate had pro- I posed an amendment, ihe succeeding portion of which was the ordinance of 1787,50 that the j amendment really had nothing whatever to do I with Oregon—no bearing whatever upon Ore- ; gun. It says the line of 36 30 shall be the line j to the Pacific, and then itgoes on to say that the ordinance of J 787 shall be in force in Oregon, j This amendment has been attacked by n strong majority of the Senate—some 10 or 12, to which j he did not object—they bad a right to do so. But he had voted against the amendment, and | he preferred the easiest method to get rid of j it, by receding from the amendment. If others j ]»referred a committee of conference, that was all right also. So much for the parliamentary question. And, now, in regard to the question at issue. He wasglad that it had been prooosed to refer the question to the great judicial tribunal of the country, as well as to the tribunal of the peo ple. But he desired to say a word on the particular description of slavery mentioned in the ordinance of 1787 —it was not the descrip tion of slavery existing in Hungary, &c., but a description of slavery transferable from hand i to hand. Slavery has existed in the several i countries of Europe, but he had never known that any slavery, thus transferable, had existed any where but in the American States and colo nies, and perhaps in some of the West India Islands. This institution in America stands upon the constitution, adopted in 1789, at the time of the adoption of which it had been desired that slavery should not exist northwest of the Ohio. When this constitution was adopted, no person looked to such a thing as the acquisition of ter ritory out of which to form new States. The territory west oftheOhio was looked upon as intended to be free, and inasmuch as slavery was limited, by these two considerations, it was agreed that it should continue where it did then exist, it was a matter of State regulation, over which Congress had no control whatever, j Therefore, these agitations*, in regard to slave- j ry, he considered entirely out of place. They I had never received any encouragement from i him, and they never would. By foreign acquisition, five new slave States had been added to this Union, and not one free Slate. The Senators from lowa had not yet come here—when they did conic, the represen tation in this chamber would stand as ten to j two. from this foreign acquisition. The slave- j holding interest, therefore, had not been an un favored institution in Congress. He did not ■cel any obligation to go further. And yet ihe l -outh said you have deprived us of all our n ghts. And the Senator from Georgia had proposed to leave the question to the highest tribunal, let us see how the question stands. he gentleman says that we deprive them of 1 opportunity of going into those newly ac quired territories, with their -property. We don’t prevent them from giving their property in the ordinary acceptation of the term. But they have a peculiar law which recog nises a peculiar properly in slaves. And the complaint is, that they cannot go into these ter ritories carrying with them this property re cognized by their own local laws. Wherever that local law does notexted, property in slaves does not exist What the North requests is. that they shall not carry there any properly under local laws inconsistent with our local !‘ IW ?* This is all the inequality which can ex ist, if this can be considered an inequality. It is a matter to be proved, when persons go to any part of the globe, that they are not’ free. | until they ore proved to he otherwise. He contended that as five slave States had I been added to the Union from acquired foreign ! territory, there was no injustice in limitin'* Tts further extension; and he repeated, as the other day, that he should do nothing to ex tend the area of slavery—to increase the slave representation in the other branch of Congress. He voted upon these propositions: ° 1. That when this constitution was adopted, no one looked to the acquisition of new terri i l°ry t That there should be no interference with slavery in the States where it now exists, j 3. That as five States have been added from foreign territory, no injustice would be done in restricting the further extension of the area of slavery. i lor t,iese reasons it was that he had declared that by no vote of his would he do anything i calculated to increase the slave representation in the other House of Congress. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, replied briefly to the remarks of both Mr. Benton and Mr Web ster. Those who agreed with him (Mr. J.) believed that the I4th section contained a pro vision authorizing the exercise of an unconsti tutional power. He examined the provisions of the bill, referred to the compromise bill, which had been so unceremoniously laid on the table by the House, and said that this had now been followed up by rejecting the Missouri Compromise, hy a slil 1 more decided vote, and sending the bill back to them as it was original ly passed hy them. If the friends of the bill were willing to strike out the 14th section, he was willing to recede from the amendment.— And if, as it was said, slavery could never exist in Oregon, that section was of no use, or it was intended to have a hearing on all other territo ry. The assumption by the Senator from Mas sachusetts, (M r. Webster,) that ihe framers of the constitution never contemplated any acqui sition of new territory, he considered a reflec tion upon the sagacity of those framers, sur rounded as the country then was with foreign territory. He contended also that the United Stales had, under the constitution, the power hy treaty to acquire territory, and to govern it. too, under the constitution. The assumption that they looked only to the creation ofa future ftee blate fell with the others, because Louisi ana then lying on our Southern border, if its acquisition was contemplated, the creation of slave Stales must have been contemplated. If the convention looked to the acquisition of I no new slave Stales, then it looked to the crea tion of no new free States except as those com ing in from the north-east territory. So far, then, according even to the Senator’s argu ment. the slave and the free States stand on The same footing—and the free States possess no power to exclude the slave Slates from an equal participation in it, or the enjoyment o f the rights which they now possess. It is a question of life and death with the south. A leading press of New York is even now ad vocating an amendment of the constitution, ; vyith a view to this very question—the exteu | sion of slavery—and surrender to the power of the north—give up this territory—and the power of the South here is gone—their only I resource would be resistance by force. All that they desired was a strict regard to the let i ter and spirit of the constitution. The debate was continued by Messrs. Hous ton and Foote, Mr. Butler rose to a question of privilege, and wished that certain resolutions published in the New York Herald of to-day, [in refer ence to General Kearney,] which had been offered in executive session, and, by the publi cation of which, he said, the rules of the Senate had been violated hy the Senator from Mis souri, (Mr. Benton.) He moved to go into executive session with a view to consider the subject. Messrs. Mason and Berrien second ed the motion. Mr. Brecse denied the right of the Senator to make the motion, while the Oregon bill was pending. Mr. Benton was in favor of having it pro ceeded with, and with open doors. Ho was, for one. determined tosit here, during the Sab bath, rather than the efforts of those who were talking about a dissolution of the Union should I succeed. j Mr. Berrien insisted that the action was in j order, and should he decided. Mr. Benton thought it not proper that the business of the Senate could be interrupted to ; settle a quarrel between two members. For ( if the Senator from South Carolina or any oth i er, said that he had done any thing dishonora ble, he would get the lie in his throat—yes, he would get the lie in his throat—the lie in his throat [cries of order order] and he would have to meet him elsewhere, yes elsewhere, i elsewhere. Mr. Butler was ready to meet him there or anywhere else. [Order, order, order.] Mr. Benton repeated what he had before said —“the lie in the throat;” and much confusion and excitement prevailed, with cries of order, i order order, from all parts of the chamber. | The presiding officer desired Mr. Benton to take his seal, and he did accordingly. Mr. Bell obtained the floor, and argued at j some length the question of privilege, contend* I iug that the motion was not in order, and in timating that it was an effort to defeat the great measure before them. Whether he disagreed with his southern brethren or not, he was dis posed to do his duty fairly apd without flinch ing. Mr. Benton said that under a pretext for a secret session a p üblic motion had been made here, by the Senator r rom South Carolina, di rected at him, with a view to attract attenti n throughout the country. He quarreled with no man—he had fought—he fought once “to the funeral ” —“to the death”—but he never j quarreled. The presiding officer declared the motion ofMr Butler to be out oforder. Mr. Butler explained the reasons which had induced him to make the motion. He had con sidered the publication a violation of the rules of the Senate to which he had felt bound to call their attention. He had intended no vio lation of the order or decorum of the Senate, and w as alone responsible foivtvhat he had done. Mr. Benton considered the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina no satisfaction for the attack which had been made upon him hy that Senator and his two seconds —[alluding to the two Senators who had seconded his mo tion.] He required indemnity Mr. M ason felt bound to appeal from the de cision of the chair, and the question on sustain ing that decision, was decided in the affirmative —36 to 11. The consideration of the Oregon bili was then resinned, and The debate was continued by Messrs. Hous ton, Foote, Butler, Breese, Benton, Bell, Bad ger, Metcalfe, Atchison, Westcott and others. Mr. Westcott had the floor al 6 o’clock, A- M. on Sunday, when this report was sent to the post-office. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Rockwell, of Connecti cut, the House went into committee of the whole, and took up Seriate bills on the private calender, a number of which were considered, reported to tire House, and passed; among them the bill to pay Richard M. Johnson for the building erected for the Choctaw Academy. The report of the conference committee on the army appropriation bill was concurred in and then the House, at about 9 0 V° 0 " kAM adjourned to l» A. M„ on Monday mor’ni,,;; ' In Senate Sunday, Aug. 13th, 6AM Mr. Westcott proceeded, and gave way to a 1 motion by Mr. Lewis to adjourn. Lost. 9io 27 Mr. Westcott therefore continued his re marks. If this bill were passed to-dav, with the restriction of slavery in it, he said, it would not ,lie t with the executive veto. Mr. Foote moved an adjournment (20 min utes past 6.) but the motion was decided in the negative, 10 to 26. Mr. Yulee suggested that they might now as I vve l* proceed to a vote on the subject. I Mr. Underwood concurred in the,suggestion, j | I hey had done all in their power. He had sat . up some eight or ten nights during the time he i j was a member of the House, but never had he seen such a scene as he had witnessed here during the past night. He hoped the practice would be abandoned, as no good had ever come from it, and that they would amend their rules so as to put it out of the power of any mem ber to defeat or delay the wishes of the ma jority. *1 he debate was further continued by several members. The question was then taken on receding from the several amendments, and it was deci ded in the affirmative. So the bill has passed both Houses, without the “ Missouri Compro mise, ” and with the “ Wilmot Proviso.” The test vote was on receding from the a niendment by which the Missouri Compromise had been inserted, and was as follows : Ayes.

An arrival at New Orleans from Mexico brings Vera Cruz dates of the 3d iust. and the gratifying intelligence that the Revolution in that country had been finally suppressed. The particulars are not given,—but from the fact being stated that the prisoners taken were dis couraged, and pledged themselves to support Ihe government, we infer that an action must have taken place in which the insurgents were defeated and a considerable portion of their force captured. Most of the Americans left in Mexico had taken their departure for Yucatan whether armed and organized, or with the view of set tling in that country, is not stated, but it may he fairly presumed that our bravo and enterprising citizens are prepared for any emergency that may arise.

She was afflicted with great pain in the side and breast—this continued for several months, until she was reduced almost to a skeleton. During this time she was under the care of good and skilful physicians, who did their best, but did not remove the symptoms which appeared to be fatal Consumption , and which threatened every day to carry her off. At last, a friend who had been afflicted with a very bad cough for several years, told me he was effectually cured with Dr. Wistar’s Bal sam of Wild Cherry, and recommended nay daughter to try it. She did so, and when she had taken a single bottle, she began to improve. I then told her physician that my daughter was using Wistar’s Bal sam. He replied very well, [think it a good pre paration —keep on, it will not hurt her. She con tinued to use it until she was restored to good health. 1 believe it saved my daughter's life , and do not hesitate to recommend others who are afflicted as my daughter was, to try it. Rich.

The principal object in the establishment of this Agency is to set. at rest in the most satisfactory and economical manner possible, the numerous claims for property which citizens of the United States really have, or imagine they jkissoss in England and else where. The efforts of designing and unscrupulous men have been actively engaged in influencing a belief on this subject in many quarters, with a view to petty pecu lation ; and evidences of the fact have been so fre quently brought to light as to render it urgently ne cessary that an office be established having for its object the satisfaction of those who have have been deluded, and to establish the claims of such as are the rightful heirs to doubtful property, or that which is improperly withheld. Articles in leading journals in the principal cities of the Union are frequently appearing, headed “Townly Estate;” “A Great Fortune for some body;” “ Meetings of the Houghton’s at Worcester;” ‘‘Chase Meetings,” (fee. &c., the authors of which are generally lawyers seeking practice, or adventu rers, whose only object is to feed upon public creduli ty, by producing an excitement which mav realize lor themselves immediate gains, and who are, gener ally speaking, without the slightest knowledge of the subjects they put forth. The evidences of this being a fact are everywhere apparent, as in no one single instance have their ill founded expectations been realized ; and it is with a view to the correction of this evil that the subscriber has effected the inest extensive arrangements to satis fy the inquiring, as well as the curiosity of those, who, influenced by family connection oi .., ’ to pursue the investigation of matters often involving results of the most stupendous magnitude. As regards real estate in England, the bulk of it is subject to the laws of Entail and Primogeniture ; and ever since the revolution in 1688, the principal estates have been subjected to the changes which always ensue on revolution, confusion, and change of dynas ty ; and although there have been special laws pxssed for particular purposes, all those which have refer ence to this subject, and which were passed subse quent thereto, arc still available in cases of legitimate right. It is not, however, intended in ibis advertise ment, to refer antecedently to the American revoln ' lion of 1776, at which period, a great number of per -1 sons etitled in various ways to property, abr.ndonded the same by joining the revolutionary party. This act, in itself, was sufficient to lead to confiscation where it was directly held by such individuals; but when those abandoning the same were next in suc cession to the then possessors, the case became alter ed; and alienation from home and family were made the barriers to rightful inheritance. Another fruitful source of investigation is found in the Unclaimed Dividend Book of the Hank of Eng land, and this, furnishing as it does, each English name that lias ever existed as a holder of funded pro perty, is the main reliance of the unprincipled traders in public credulity. The modes of investment are exceedingly numer ous in all parts of Europe, but in England particular ly so; and die subscriber is prepared to show the facilities which he possesses, for an investigation in any of the means above alluded to. Besides all t liese, there is property positively bequeathed, and which, in consequence of the absence of the parties to whom demised, becomes involved in and subject to the laws of the Court of Chancery. In all cases, even of supposed family connexion, the most jwsitive and satisfactory information can be afforded as to the facts connected with the members of families, no matter how remote the date, or seeming ly difficult tne investigation ; and where the case has already been undertaken by any of the numerous persons who pretend to a knowledge of this business, and who have altogether failed in obtaining, or omit ted to afford the information sought by the victims oi' their speciousness and delusion, the matter is the more readily undertaken, because of the greater sat isfaction in aiding where the pretences of others have obtained so much unmerited confidence . In the settlement of Commercial, Trading and other Debts, the necessary legal and mercantile acumen will be brought to hear; an experience of half a century in this particular branch, is the best evidence that can be afforded of the ability that will be bestowed on matters coining under this head. Inventors and others requiring Patent Rights se cured in any or all parts of Europe, can have the same clfectcd at a very trifling charge over and above the usual fees required in any given country. Every information respecting flic probable expenses, and the modus operandi will at all times be cheerfully af forded ; and the facilities, particularly in England, for disposing of the right, &c., are of the most extensive character. Introductions are also offered to men of wealth and high respectability. Whatever- belongs to this department is ample. The attention, there fore, of the public in general is particularly solicited to this branch of the Agency. Communications by letter arc requested to be post paid.
